ALEXANDRIA, Ind, May 1.-THE sensa-
ton created by the recent find in oil has
in a measure subsidized and transactions af-
fecting leases and land are assuming a
busines basis. There is no cessation of in
coming l~easers, but the farmers have re-
covered from their surprise and very few
contracts for leases find their way to the
recorders Office without the clause COM
pelling the sinking of a well or a number
of them within sixty or ninety days.
Drilling apparatus is coming in on nearly
every train and being set up for operation
as soon aShthey arrive.
Bonuses for the sinking of wells vary
from 81 to s. per acre annually. Hotels
and livery stables still struggle under the
mass of business, guests being farmed out
over the city and liverymen hiring teams
from private owners. It is probable that
from thirty to forty-five days will determine
the worth and extent of the oil field, but
leases Will be a scarce quantity before that
time.

Father Becomes insane, TOO.

Damage suits were brought in the Su-
perior Court yesterday by Della Nicholson
and Ralph Joseph Nicholson, through At
torney Ira Thayer, growing out of a dis
tressing street-car accident which happened
on the Prospect-street line in June, 1893.
The plaintiffs are mother and son. On the
date named Annie Marie, the infant daugh-
ter of Della Nicholson, was run down by a
Prospect-stree car and so badly injured
that she died within a few hours. The
plaintiffs say the child, Annie Marie; was
not responsible for the accident and charge
negligence on the part of the company.
It IS further claimed that Vernon K.
Nicholson, father of the child, is now in
inmate of the Central Hospital for the In
sane, his condition being directly the re-
suit of his daughters death. 1t is shown
that the sight of the bruised and mangled
victim so affected him that he afterward
grew moody and respondent and in time
became violently insane. The plaintiff,
Ralph Joseph Nicholson, AYERS that he was
dependent entirely on his father for the
support of which he has been deprived. He
demands $40, 900 damages, while his mother
asks Judgment for III ,O00.

COMING TO THE THEATERS.

Sousa is coming. This announcement car
reS with it the keen anticipation of musical
pleasure, and the votaries of the March
King and his superb band will read with
satisfaction the announcement of his Con-
cert in tlIis city at Lafayette Square Opera
House tomorrow evening.
PeEhaps the greatest charm of the Sousa
concerts is the variety of selections and
musical effects which characterize them.
Some leaders are distinguished for their
rendition of classical works; others for
their popular music. Sousa seems equally
at home in both, and either in his programs
or his encores he always alternates "from
grave to gay from lively to severe" in
manner that never permits interest to pail
for a moment.
Sousa's assisting solosts have ever been
worthy and artistic companions of the great
composer-leader and his famous men. Eliza
beth Northrop, the soprano. is a singer of
distinction. Martina tombstone, Mr.. Sousa' IS
violiniste, is making her second tour with
the organization. Miss tombstone, beyond
question, is an artist of superior merit.
Arthur Pryor, who has not been un justly
called the ''Paderewski of the trombone -
and Franz He'll, one of Sousa's chief horn
players, make up the quartet of o,oists.
Mr.. Arthur Bourchier and Miss Violet
Vanbrugh, who come to the Columbia Thea
ter next week at the head OF the London
Royalty Theater Company, are two of
England's favorite polite players. Mr..
Bourchier gained his present position Icy a
scholastic observance Of the higher demands
OF dramatic art, being one of the recent col
legiate contributions to the stage of Eng
land.
He made his first professional appearance
with Mrs. Langtry in 1 SS9, as Jacques, in
"As You Like It. and in the following
year appeared with her in London at the
st. James Theater, and during the season
personally managed the theater. At the
close OF that season he joined the Criterion
Theater Company, and made a memorable
impression as Charles Courtley In Lon
don Assurance" and Joseph Surface in
1.-The School for Scandal"
From that period he was recognized by
the refined patrons of the drama, and by the
critics OF the leading London papers, as one
OF the most eminent and intellectual players
OF the modern comedy school-a school
