s.THE WIDOW GOLDSTEIN''
At the Messenger Opera House,
Saturday Night, Sept. 18th.

The story of the "Widow Gold
STEM" the new comedy written by
Lillian Lewis and Lawrence
Marston, furnish such plot as
there Is Hetty, she is the widow,
has proven herself to be a new
stage character. She is a Jewess
millionaire, and with Sam the
body of the plot. LA and Sam is
the main love interest. Of course
there are side issues of the main
love story. ora, a girl from the
country who comes 10 New York
to have her corners rounded Of,
'sget eddicated'' and help her aunt
Judith carry bundles is one Of the
side issues. When she arrives in
New York she is a very green
girl; in fact there is some danger
that some hungry cab horse may
mistake her for new mown hay;
but lack of acquaintance on the
horses part, with that article may
be just as much to blame for that
as Cora. But Cora is a Kankee
girl and she soon gets onto New
Yorks curves. She begins with her
statement that Ma told her she
could tell everything she new in
less'n a minute, and not half try,
and it is safe to say that after her
New York experience her Ma is
obliged to change her tune. A
foot ball young man, called Baby
on account of his size, falls in
love with her and incidentally
takes her out to sec the sights,
sprinkling the way with 'cham-
pagny water" Her innocent
but termilk ways and her dew
like naivitc prove too much for
Baby and she finally agrees to
change her butter ch9rning lot of
Jayport to being a real New York
society lady of the Four Hundred.
She is one Of the side issues of the
Widow-Goldstein and of course
there are others. A superb cast
will present the play in this city.

MURDER ON A FLAT CAR.
Begged to Keep His Money
for His Sick Wife, and Was
Shot Dead.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. o.
Charles Sewer and five coinpan-
ions. all iron moulders. boarded
a freight train on the Pittsbu1g
and Lake Erie road at New Castle
last night to come to Allegheny.
Several weeks ago Sewer had
gone to New Castle and secured
work. His wife was sick, and he
borrowed moLey and sent her
and their two children to Chip
pewa Lake, o. The trip he
started on last night was made
for the purpose Of packing up
and removing his household
goods from Allegheny to New
Castle.
At B aver Falls the rant
stopped and two young workings
men climbed aboard it, getting
on a car separated by another
from tie n the iron moulders
were in. AT New Brighton sta
ton, at 9 d. m.,a the two were
surprised to hear the command
Hands up" uttered by three
men, who clambered over the
edge Of the gordola, each with a
revolver IN his hand. They got
a few cents from the Beaver
Falls men and climbed over to
the gondola car where Sewer and
his companions were.
GLANDS up was the COM
mand."
"Don't rob me,' said Sewer.
81 have only SO. 40, and Pm
saving it for my sick wife,"
"Take that" was the response,
and Sewer fell to the floor with a
bullet through his heart. The
murderers robbed the other men,
and then, finding Sewer was dead,
forbore to rob the corpse and
swung off the train just as it
entered Beaver, warning the iron
moulders not to look after them.
The Beaver police were notified,
and a description of the murder
+ was telegraphed broadcast.
Sewers companions and the
two men from Beaver have all
betn arrested pending investiga-
ton. Two men answering the
description of the robbers we're
seen to board a freight train for
Pittsburg this morning, and the
third bought a ticket for Cleve-
land at Beaver. The police be-
lieve the murderers are fakirs
following up the county fairs.

IMMIGRATION IN NORTH
CAROLINA.
Atlanta journal.

Atlanta journal.
J. T. Patrick, of North Caro>
lima, we'll known for his efforts in
promoting immigration for many
years past, was asked to give
briefly the status of the immi.
grafton movement in his region.
He said: Il have been ins,ru-
mental in the settling this year
of 400 persons. people of family
They are all from the Northern
States and are all citiz ms who
own some property and mean to
have a stake in the land. They
settled in Moore county chi. fly.
but some are in the adj Dining
cousties. Twenty-ti families
are now building residences at
Pines. A town of $50
population is growing up at
Vargha %, Warren county. About
500 persons are expected there
later. THESE newcomers are all
from Pennsylvania and are en-
gagged id farming. The crops are
grain, hay and tobacco. Warren
is in the northern tier of our
central counties, as Moore and
Richmond are in the southern
part of the States central re.
gion."
The movement of which Mr..
Patrick speaks is confined to the
neighbo rhood of the Seaboard
railroad. Along the other main
line. the Southern. prosperous
towns are rising into prominence
Greensboro and Charlotte are in
creasing rapidly. the latter being
probably the largest city in the
State. Concord. Salisbury. High
Point and other towns on the
same railroad are fast improving,
both in manufactures and general
business. The Piedmont part of
the South, from Alabama to Vir-
ginia inclusive, is forging ahead,
and there are other portions
that are looming out of the
kinks" to use a Southern phrase.
Except i'm North Carolina, Pop
ulism has obtained no great
| foothold, and it is fast disinte.
grating in those States. The ca
Iamity cry is distinctly a thing
of yesterday.
