Entertainments.

At the opera house tonight the well
known eccentric comedian Ezra Kendall,
promises to keep the audience in con-
tinual roar from the time his exceedingly
funny make up shows itself till the cur
tain closes in the last act. People laugh
because they cannot help it. everything is
so extremely funny. "a Pair of Kids"
is a-rlay which does not grow old and
person can laugh as heartily at its ludi-
crous situation now as when i: first came
out seven years ago, and this is because
Mr.. Kendall is both an author and come
dian who knows and keeps pace with the
public taste.
The most powerful mesmerist and
greatest fun m aker in the world is DR..
Herbert L. Flint, who appears at Turner
hall for seven nights commencing tonight.
For tonight ladies will be admitted free
when accompanied by a person with

ducement is to get the ladies of the city
to see the first evenings entertainment to
show the high class of the performance.
and that it is most especially fer ladies
and children. Space will not permit of
the noting of acting OF the subjects under
the doctors power, but it creates more
fun ard excitement than any circus, min
strel or comedy company. Prices of sG-
mission are only 25 and 35 cents. Be
sure and take the ladies for the first
night, tonight.
The New York Symphony club is to
give concert at the First Baptist church

The concert of the New York Sym
phony club given here last evening was a
splendid success. All members of the
club are artists OF high order, and sus-
tanned the reputation they have justly
earned. The violin playing of Charles F
Higgins is marvellous in technic, style and
tone, and Americans should be proud of
the fact that he was born and educated
in this country until he was IS years cid,
at which time he went TO Europe to

Mr.. Jones died, leaving them as it were
dependant upon their mo,hsr for support,
but with her iudomitsble will! and
management she not only raised and ed
ucated the children, but paid for
the farm, and had saved for each one
snug little sum when he attained his ma,
jority She also raised George, Charles

She was then in 1871 married to James

THE STRIKE SETTLED.
The Cable Miners 10 Return to
Work Monday.
Mutual Concessions Result in al
AmicsbIe Adjustment OF the
Difsic atty Between the
Company snd Men.

The Cable coal miners strife Is ended
eT0e men having at meeting decided 10
abandon the ground on which they struck
aud TO resume their former relation with
the company. This result was brought
about through the efforts of few of the
more moderate men who took hold of the
matter Of their own motion. and through
friendly conference with Suft. Lee,
brought about resumption of the work.
Ire company made the men some con-
c3sslons asked BY them, to the extent of a
Tide out of the mine at the end of days
work, specified hour for blasting and q
change from a tonnage basis to a stated
sum per month per man for sharpening.
This strike commenced Jan. 4, and
hence has lasted just about one month.
When they went out there were 1856
miners and eco laborers, drivers, etc, the
monthly pay roll amounting to SIS, 200,
which may be said TO be the amount the
men have lost in the interval of suspen-
sion. The strike can hardly be said to
have been particular bent fit to anyone,
and neither can it be stated that the pub
lie has suffered in consequence, as the
company has supplied the market with an
abundance of coal without raising the
price.
The four men who were the cause of
the trouble have left Cable, as have many
of the other miners

A SERIOUS DIFFICULTY,
A Narrow Escape--All on Account
of a Girl.

A difficulty occurred yesterday
evening about Z o'clock at the corner
of Ninth aud Clay streets which mar
rowl y escaped serious results.
The participants were two young
men, W. 7. Watts, a student of the
Baylor Commercial College who
boards at the corner of Ninth aud
Clay streets at the house Of Mrs.
Oldham, and Robert D. Powell who
restless with his parents at 7O7 South
Ninth street.
The young gentlemen were both
seen by NEWS reporter and each
stated that there was woman in the
case.
w. 7. Watts states that something
had been said by someone about a
young lady to which Powell took ex-
ceptiOns aud called him to account.
Powell cane to his boarding house
about o'clock yesterday evening aud
called him out on the street and after
some rough words between them he
was struck in the forehead with what
he took to be brass knucks, and stag.
gered. Powell again 'made at him,
when he (Watt'S) drew his pistol and
fired two shots, and Powell ran The
version OF Powell is that he was pass
ing Watts boarding house in the af.
ternoon and was stopped by him and
a difficulty sought. He told Watts
that he would return with some in.
terested friends after supper
and settle the matter. He went to
Watts boarding house about Z clock
and knocked at the door and asked for
him. Watts answered from within
and told him he would be out in few
minutes. He (PowelD then went out
to the corner of Clay street and Watts
soon came out. Angry words followed
and he struck Watts in the forehead
with rock he held in his hand and
nearly knocked him down. AS Watts
was recovering he attempted to strike
him again when Watts drew his pistol
and fired, the ball just grazing his
cheek, and the powder burning his
face. He stepped back and fell
into ditch and upon recovering him
self started across the street. When
about the middleway the street he
turned around to see if he was being
followed when just as he did he heard
another shot and felt that he was shot
In the left arm. The wounds of neither
