RESULT OF A FEUD.
Boss With Guns and Are Repulsed
One Dead, : mother Dying.

Information reached this city last night
or what came near being a triple tragedy
at Crudup, a station eight miles south of
Collinsville, on the Alabama Great South
ern railroad.
B. F. Killian is foreman of the section
gang on the track from Crudup to
Keener and, with his men, was working
on the north end of his section banking
a fill in the road and while thus busfly en-
gagged on the company's right of way
they were approached by man named
Galloway and his two sons.
Galloway ordered Killian to leave the
neighborhood at once and the latter re-
fused to do so. Galloway and his two
sons, who were armed with Winchester
rifles at the refusal opened fire on Killian.
Several shots were fired and one bullet
went through Killians right shoulder.
He is not dangerously hurt.
Killian returned the firing and instantly
killed one of the boys and fatally shot
the other. The wounded boy Is expected
to die at most any time as he is badly
hurt. ~
The cause of the tragedy is not known,
but it is said there was previous quarrel
between Killian and old man Galloway.
Killian wired the local office of the oc-
currence and Detective Barnes Morgan
went to the scene of the trouble. AS far
as known, no arrests were made.

nished. The Atlanta Constitution says:
Something entirely new was presented
at the Grand last night in the way of a
musical extravaganza, entitled "Off the
Earth" by Eddy Foy and a strong and
well-balanced company of good singers.
dancers and speciality artists. Beautiful
scenery and fine mechanical effects made
the tout ensemble most pleasing.
While Foy is well known in the east
and west, this is his first southern tour,
and he fully upheld the encomiums which
have been showered upon him by the
press all over the country. He is funny
without trying to be SO, and compels
laughter by every gesture. He has very
little voice, and what he has he uses SO
comically that the audience is glad that
he is so situated, vocally speaking, be-
cause that makes his act the funnier.
off the Earth deals of the realms of
Luna, and while there is no plot. the
situations are all good and follow so fast
laugh before them. Foy was well re-
ceived and he can come back to Atlanta
whenever he wants to and he will al
ways get hearty welcome.
If Miss Mary Marble, the tiniest, mer-
riest and brightest little soubrette on the
stage today, does as we'll in everything
else as she does in the role of Dimples,
she will soon prove a strong rival of
Della Fox, with the odds in her Miss
Marble's) favor. Her work is finished,
graceful ana nearly, ana Sne makes ner
audience feel that If she affords them
pleasure and entertainment it is pleas
ure for her to do so. She was repeatedly
encored, and always responded gracious
ly. Oscar Hall, as the tramp, did some
wonderfully clever work in tumbling
and contortion, and is one of the best of
his kind. Miss Josie Winters. as the
queen dowager, was very amusing, and
acted the part of the lovesick old woman
to perfection. Miss Marie Di Campi as
Prince Charley. looked and acted the
thoroughbred sport, just like one. Miss
Adlyn Estee was regal as the queen and
her songs were well rendered To Mr..
James E. Sullivan is great credit due, as
stage manager, for the manner in which
the production is put on.
''Off the Earth" is one of the best ex-
travaganzas which has been here in a
long time, and Manager Dunno can con-
graduate himself on having been so for
tunate as to surround Mr.. Foy with such
a splendid support.

The company has been seen in nine per-
formances, giving seven popular operas
and always to large and well pleased
audiences.
The work of the company as a whole
was most creditable. The principal parts
have been almost always we'll sustained
and the chorus work often merited and
won special commentator

was a most pleasant diversion, and the
theater was well filled to see the Robin

Miss Nellie McHenry in this class of

.orHE PRISONER OF zENDA.,

1.-The Prisoner of Zenda," which every
where is hailed as the most brilliant and
fascinating stage production of the pres
ent day, will be one of the theatrical
events in this city within a few weeks.
The play was made by Edward Rose,
out of Anthony Hopes celebrated ro-
nance of that name, and has proved the
most remarkable success in the history
of Daniel Frohman's Lyceum theater
management.
The drama is said to be of the most
picturesque sort and pleasing to a de-
gree; its virile, subtle qualities fascinat-
ing the spectator from the rise of the
first until the fall of the final curtain
That the public has appreciated this
beautiful play and the mastery manner
in which it is performed by Mr.. Froh-
mans talented Lyceum company is evil
denced by the marvellous enthusiasm and
delight with which the production has
been greeted in every city in which it has
been seen.

Sol Smith Russell is known and loved

acterizations and for the delight he gives
his audiences. There is not place
where the congenial comedian is known
that has not warm friendship for him,
and his appearance in Birmingham is an
event that is heartily welcomed There
is no actor on the American stage just
like him. Hhe mere mention of his name
suffices to invoke a smile-a smile of
pleasant reminiscences-for no one ever

THE MAKING OF KANSAS.
j. B. Case, the Topeka Creamery King
Enthusiastic Over the Industry.

J. B. Case of the Kansas Creamery
company has returned from a visit to
the creameries and stations owned by
the company in southwest Kansas and
he is enthusiastic over the prospects
of the dairy industry.
I believe" said he, that the dairy
industry will be the making of Kansas.
see no reason why Kansas should not
take a. place in the front rank as a
dairy state. We have all the facilities.
and butter can be produced as we'll
here as anywhere.
I have observed that farmers all
over the state are giving more atten-
ton to the raising of cows for dairy
purposes. It is our aim in all localities
in which we locate to create an inter
est among the farmers, and we do 1t in
various ways. The farmers are raising
better cows and are spending more
time in the dairy than they ever did.
Only in the last ten or twelve years
has the creamery industry in Kansas
been developed. Several cooperative
creameries were started over the state
about that time and were turned over
to the farmers to be operated after the
protector had made his money by To-
eating the plant and organizing a COM
pany. The farmers did not understand
how to operate a creamery, and the
consequence was that only one or two
out of all that were established were
successes
The Kansas Creamery company,
which has headquarters in Topeka, has
alreaOy eSUaDhSned over 0O cfeanefIeS
and stations and more are being put
in every week. Mr.. Case says that his
company expects to cover the territory
reached by the Rock Island from Lin
coin, Neb., to Goodland, Kan. The COM
pany is also working in southwest Kan
sas and the Indian Territory. Wichita
is the center for southern Kansas and
Ell Reno for Oklahoma, while Belleville
is the center for northern Kansas. The
state is being covered with a, network
of creameries and stations, and the
farmers will be given an opportunity
to show what can be done in the dairy
line.
The company is now turning out g.
600 pounds of butter daily, and will
increase the product every week. The

EDUCATIONAL ASSOUA-
TON MEETING

For the meeting of the National Ed
ucatiOnaI association at Buffalo in 1895
the excellent service given by the
Union Pacific was commented on by ali
who had the pleasure of using that
line. This year our educational friends
meet in Milwaukee, Wis, July to 9,
and members of the association and
others from points west of the Missouri
river should by all means take the
Union Pacific.
The service of the Union Pacific
via Omaha or Kansas City is the very
best. The equipment consists of hand
some day coaches, chair cars, Pullman
buffet and drawing room sleepers, din
ing cars and buffet smoking and Ii
brary cars. Fewer changes than via
any other line. One fare, plus $3.50, for
the round trip will be the rate from all
points west of the Missouri river for
this meeting.
