greatly increased travel in the last day or

from holiday vacations, it is noticed that
there is quite large number of capitalists
prospecting, representing almost every
state in the union and city of Importance.
They seem to be out looking for business
and commencing work i'll earnest for the

A SUNDAY NIGHT PERFORMANCE.

SUNDAY NIGHT PERFORMANCE.
At Garfield opera house on Sunday
night, January We are to have some
thing unusual and far out of the dramatic
line. The renowned Mind Reader Hazel,
known the world over as 1.-The Living
Mystagogue, is to appear and demon
strate his superhuman theories concerning
mental phenomena and spirituaiistic Won
ders 1t will be II rare treat to those who
are interested in the philosophy OF this
science as well as those who are unac-
quainted. He does many wonderful and
startling tests that bewilder his auditors
and hold them spell bound with astonish-
ment He is certainly marvel. The
press speak of him in glowing terms and
from the outlook there is every reason to
believe that the house will be packed.
GEORGE 7. ULMER
Colonel Mulberry Sellers was the at
traction at the Grand last night, and 1t
drew large and appreciatiye audience.
The play is the famous oneof the lamented
John T. Raymond, and found an excellent
Interpretation in the hands of the Ulmer's.
The play itself is familiar to theatre goers
and is full of merit. Its plot, however, is
too well known to need description. The
dialogue is bright and the situations good.
Mr.. George r. UImer played the part Of
COiOuel Mulberry CcliSAS, anu nc Piay Z" ~
well. His makeup is similar to that of
the late Mr.. Raymond, and the audience
could not help remarking his resemblance
to that actor last night. His style. bow
ever, is quite different and he makes no
effort to initiate Raymond. Lizzie May
Ulmer was cast as Laura Hawkins, and
she made hit and was repeatedly applaud
ed At the end of the fourth act she
was obliged to appear before the curtain
twice in order to quiet the audience. She
has heretofore been seen only as a sonbretee
but last night she rose to the requirements
of an opposite part and played it In man
ner which could hardly be excelled.
| The company is well suited TO the play
| Several Of It's members were with Raymond
and are actors of reputation and talent

The files of the executive calendar were also pretty generally cleared of pending conventions and treaties. Most of these were unimportant documents relating to postal conventions and copyright agreements which were approved proforma. The arrangement with Mexico as to the appointment of a boundary commission was continued. The extradltlon treaty with Russia was the sub Ject of the most discussion. It was cham- pioned by Senator Sherman and opposed by Senators Evarts, Eustis and George the lat ter proposing amendments which went over until tomorrow, when it is expected that the treaty will be approved practically in it's present form.

HostilitIes HaVe Ceased-GeneraI Sowder in z Jail-CaPture or Jeff KfRg.

HostilitIes Have Oeased-GeneraI SOwder in GJaiI-Capture or Jeff KiRg.
 LOUISVILLE, March 26.-A special from Pineville to the Courier-Journal says: Hos- tilities have ceased at least for time be- tween the warning Turner and Sowder fac tion in the Yellow Creek neighborhood, and at present there are no indications of a re. newal. No one has been killed for at least 36 hours, and interest in the feud is fl agging. At present Gen. Sowder is in jail at Stanford under indictment tor the assassination of Jack Turner two years ago, and even should he be released there are other charges which will doubtless be strong enough to hold him.
 The killing of James Burchard unnamed
 another leader of the Sowder crowd and the
 war is at end unless the Turner's start it
 again. Alvin Turner's death at the hands of
 BurchaId deprived the followers of that young hotspur of their chief source of reve- nue, and the people of Bell county seem at
 present to think that as soon as the supply of ammunition now in the hands of the
 Turner's has been burned, the end will have
 been reached. Jeff King, who, alone sur- vived the last affray, has been fugitive from his former friends and foes alike, evil dence having been produced to the effect of his fallen leader as we'll as that of Burchard He was captured this afternoon on the northern slope of Pine slope, seven miles southeast of PineviIle by Deputy Sheriff Frank Moss and Thompson
 the marshal of Pineville, assisted by John and Mark Turner, sons of Ben Turner. They
 brought him to Pineville and lodged him in jail. Harry Turner is still in jail at Take
 well and so far as leaders are concerned the Turner's seem as bad as the Sowders.
