| The Sunday papers announce that Colonel
Savage. of Louisville, and Flagg, the proprietor
of the Capital Theater dive, are To commence the
erection of a new variety theater on the site Of
| the old place to-day This will be believed when
the building is well up, and not before, it is
not very probable that the Whallens, of Louis
| willie, who are the hackers OF Savage, will be so
| foolish TO undertake such a thing, unless to
witted them in a business transaction At any
rate partnership with Flagg would not be very
! advantageous, when the character of the place
he has managed is taken into consideration.
