The Pawnee Bill performance in
this city Saturday, though handicapped
for lack of space, was enjoyed by two
big audiences. There were many inter-

merous killings thrilling. The indians
were unusually good specimens of the
copper colored race. The local parties
interested, we understand, came out a
little ahead.

The Parkersburg Sentinel says ::
The merchants and business men gener-
ally, of Marietta, are making big
kick to the B. e. o. S. w. officials about
the Branch train that leaves Parkers-
burg at o'clock, just after the depar-
ture of the east bound express They
want the train to be held until after
the arrival of the west bound accomo-
dation so that the oil and lumber men
having interests along the line of the
B. e o. can make a direct connection,
reaching home early in the evening, in
stead of having the inconvenience of
crossing at the ferry, only to catch a
freight run that puts them in Marietta
about 1880 o'clock. AS the delivery of
mail from the east would also be ad-
yanced about 2 hours, it is very proba-
BILE that the agitators of the project
will meet with success.
