st. Charles Theatre.


New Orleans PicaJune.l
Miss Louise Pomeroy appeared at
the st. Charles last night as edith
Roy lstOn' in her new play called
the "Adirondacs," and made a
most favorable Impression upon all
who witnessed her acting of a part
strong IN dramatic situations.
Edith is a fascinating widow at the
summer resort named in the play.
She plays with tho hearts OF the
susceptible young Zen and breaks
them. One discarded youth killed
himself for love of her. For res
venge brother, as he proves to be,
of the unfortunate one, woes and
wins the widow but to humble and
shame her. Insanity follows the
shock to her feelings when she finds
herself done by as she has done un>
to others. The novelty of the plot,
and many of the situations, makes
it al interesting play. The heroine
is a mixture of Lady Gay Spanker,
and Ophelia, and the play
must be called a comedy drama,
Although having suffered much,
mentally and physically, from a re-
cent railroad accident, Miss POme.
'oy is vet able to do fine acting, and
he new play is worthy of the atten- {
ion of all play goers. Mr.. w. II.
Ieake, her chief support, has a re-
ognized place in the profession as
capable leading actor, and he does
,OOd work as Ralph.

VIGILANTES ON THE WAR PATH
[From the sedaliu Democrat

From Il gentleman who came down from
Aullvilic, Lafayette county, last night, u Demo-
crat reporter learned that great excitement eX-
is'ed there, and the citizens were momentarily
expecting to hear Of a tragedy enacted in the
vicinity. The circumstances are as follows:
\ man by the name of jim Hill, IL c%Onstitu-
tiOnal thief, lives near Aullville, and for some
time past has been depredating upon the farmers
oil the community. some days ago he Was
arrested upon the charge of stealing u large
quantity OF wheat. He managed to give bond
for his appearance ut Grimm ii court, and was
given his liberty. Yesterday he was re-arrested
upon the charge of stealing il barrel of sorghum
molasses. Constable VIM. bradford, of Davis
township, served the warrant on Hill ut his
residence i'll the country, and was preparing to
take tfe prisoner to town on horseback. Hill
asked the constable to crawl into the corn-criL
and get 4 saddle. The officer complied with the
request so far as TO enter the crib, when Hill
| slammed the door to, and locked the officer in
He then jumped on his horse and He'd. The
officer was released in due course OF time.
| Ihe old organization of vigilantes which did
some elective service some years ago in dispOs-
ing oil horse thieves, was re-organiZed Il few
days ago. IN consequence oil the many acts OF
the1, pei pctrated III the country, and they were
Immediately to take HIP case in hand. Thirty.
three we'll mounted and hcaviiy-armcd member:
81 the band responded and started on HilI's
traIl. There is little doubt they will lind him
add when they do, Woe unto jim Hill, for h,
VIII pull hemp AS SURF as late. Everyone in tn,
community knows this, hence the excitement.

HlGGINsvILLE. Oct. Z, 8 p. m.-The
eastward bound Denver express train on
the G. & A. railway, was robbed Tonight
a little alter seven o'clock, ut station
called Glendale, in jackson county seven
miles east OF Independence.
The men who committed the robbery,
supposed to be about twenty in number,
boarded the tram when it stopped at
Glendale, and commenced an indiscrim-
mate firing, creating a perfect panic
among the passengers, and making the
robbery an easy job.
The express car first received he's at
tention OF the robbers, who were mask
ed, and all the valuables were taken. 1t
is impossible to state now the exact
amount taken.
After the express car had been thor
oughly ransacked, the passengers We're
required to hold up their hands while
they were relieved of their money and
other valuables In the confusion which
prevails it is impossible also to give the
amo ant taken from passengers.
The robbers talked L great deal while
they were doing their work, and were
loud in their boasts IS to what they
could and would do. When they had
finished the robbery, they informed all
concerned that their band numbered
twenty. and as they would like to have
a little sport, they hoped somebody
would have the temerity to follow them
From the manne in which the rob
bers talked, it is now believed they were
weak in numbers, probably not exceed
ing a halt dozen.
All kinds of theories as to who perpe.
trated the job, but it is pretty generally
conceded that the robbers hailed from
Kansas.
The train robbed is the one that usu
ally carries large remittances from Den
yer, and the probabilities are that the
robbers carried off large booty.
1t is generally supposed Il posse viii
be organized at Independence and Kan
sas City to pursue the gang.
