building for theater purposes, and proposed to
have 1t ready for occupancy the Sd OF January. He
intended to put on stage and proscenium arch at

the main floor. The permit was issued with the

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. TO- 1885.
Your Washington drill is creating general inter-
est here, both in military and in civil circles.
Newspaper reports began this, and the announced
determination Of Kentucky troops to take part
heightens 1t.
For the past day or two Secretary De Leon, of
the drill management, has been here to explain
the objects Of the affair to Louisville soldiers. He
informs your correspondent that his interviews
with Col John B. Castleman, the accomplished
commander OF the first regiment, Z. 8. G., have
been very satisfactory and that he expects repre-
sentation not only from the city by full regiment
but from the country by several good companies.
To-day Mr.. De Leon received q telegram from Cen
eral Passenger Agent G. K: Lord, Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, dated Chicago, in which he
stated that the central trafc association had de-
cided to authorize rate for soldiers OF 4 OF cent
per mile.
Mr.. De Leon further stated that he had yester.

its territory.
Large numbers OF very handsome Autographs
were well under way when the secretary was In
Cincinnati two days since, and he has arranged
here with the Cbu'ier-J Journal company for hand
some colored autographs.
In Cincinnati Col. Moore and Major PettfbOne. of
the 1st Ohio, expressed themselves to Mr.. De Leon
as very anxious to carry their ten companies to
represent that city by full regiment. Transpor-
tatiOn and cost OF moving such body was stated
as the only difficulty; and he thinks that the de-
ctsion Of the c. T. association noted above will re-
move that. Mr.. De Leon also says that the I'd
Ohio, at Kenton, and the three crack separate
companies Of Cleveland, Toledo and Columbus will
also probably enter.
General Passenger Agent Collbran Of the Queen
and Crescent, is taking active interest in the drill
and in its advertising. With headquarters at Gin
cinnati he can be OF great use when troops mass
there for Washington.

The killing Of Young Dalton.
WHAT UTAH PEOPLE SAY OF THE CHARGES AGAINST
THE DEAD MAN.

The excitement in Utah over the killing at Paro-
wan OF young Dalton by deputy United States
marshal still continues. w. c. McGregor, probate
Judge OF ParOwan, declares to be false the stories
that DaltOnS father was connected with the
Mountain Meadow massacre, and that the young
man himself was desperate character, and
also declares that Dalton did not knock him
down, but quietly ran away. Salt Lake City
dispatch says: "The father OF the young man who
was killed was member OF the territorial legtsa-
ture OF 1882, ana is known and respected as
quiet, Industrious citizen. The charges were made
against the deceased and his father to palate the
murder In the public mind. This was resorted to
because United States Marshal Dyer declined to
furnish any Oficial justification for the killing. c.
W. Bennett telographed to HOLSTER for something
OF that nature. The marshal empnatically refus-
ing, resort was made to slander1ng the victim
and his relatives"
