Lexington, KY, May S.--A dispatch
from Jackson, Ky, says the people not

the contingentwith which Marcum was
allied, which includes the influential
family of Postmaster Hurst. Marcum's
father-in-law, are uniting against the

who are acquainted with either fam

Arrived Too Late.
A messenger who left the interior of
Breathitt county at dawn Monday to
bear a warning to Attorney J. B. Mar
cum hat a plot to kill him had been
formed the night before reached Jack
SON a few minutes after an assassin's
bullet had crashed through Marcum's
brain and heart as he stood in the
courthouse door. During Sunday night
Edward Strong, a friend of Marcum's,
was informed that a conspiracy had
been entered into at a meeting of sew
eral desperate men at a blind tiger
three miles from jackson to assassin
ate Marcum Monday. At daylight he
sent a messenger to convey the in
formation to the attorney, who lay
lead when he arrived. This statement
was made by Mrs. Marcum in an inter-

strictly within legal bounds, and it may
be impossible, even then, to make peo-

A newspaper man who arrived from
jackson Wednesday night describes
the situation there by saying: "'The
town may only be compared to a man
sitting on a barrel of powderin ashow-
er of sparks. When the explosion will
come no one knows, but [ believe it is
inevitable. At least three men know
who assassinated James Marcum, and:
though they are silent it is believed
their doom is sealed. Such knowledge
in B%reathitt county means death or
exile. There are also others left who
know who assassinated Jim Cockrell.
They will not be overlooked. If these
people remain u there is the possibility
of a rigid investigation by the law, I
believe that they will be put out of the
way at an early day. Several families
are preparing to follow the example of

Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger's stupen-
dous and wonderful production of
''Ben Hur" is to be presented at the
Chestnut Street Opera House, Phila-
delphia, for the third time this week.
ben Hur" is brought from it's
New York engagement at the New
York Theatre and it is the same elab-
crate production which was made by
the management for the long run this
famous play enjoyed at the Theatre
Royal, Drury Lane, London. There
is much interest aroused in the COM
ing of ''Ben Hur" as it is a dramatic
event of such magnitude as is rarely
offered to playgOers. The organization
numbers some $50 people, including a
large acting cast, chorus and ballet.
The story of ben Hur" by General
Lew Wallace and dramatized by Will
liam Young, is too we'll known to be
gone into at length. To witness such
scenes Ns the appearance of the Star
of Bethlehem to the Three Wise Men
of the East, the chariot race, the fight
at sea, the grove of Daphne, and the
inspiring spectacle where is repre-.
sented the appearance of Nazarene to
the multitude on the summit of the
Mount of Olivet and the cleansing of
the lepers, is to see the highest de-
velOpment of electrical, mechanical,
scenic and costume effects ever pro-
duced in the history of the stage. The
beautiful music which is interpolated
throughout the play is by Edgar Still
man Kelley and tends to make this
highly dramatic and romantic story of
ben Hur" nearly the ideal The
chariot race is without question the
most exciting and stirring scene in
the production. 1t is such a clever
illusion that 1t becomes positive
reality. Twelve horses and three
chariOts actually enter into a contest
of speed, although their movements
are regulated by mechanism and they
are constantly in view of the audience.
The story of ''Ben Hur" is told in six
acts and fifteen tableaux, The COM
pany provided by Klaw & Erlanger to
portray the leading characters in the
play are William Farnum, J. E. Dod-
son, Charles Mackay, Charles J. Will
son, Henry Weaver, Annie Irish,
Mabel Bert, Ellen Mortimer, Char
lotte Leslie, Stella Boniface Weaver,
and others. During the engagement
of "Ben Hur" at the Chestnut Street
Opera House, matinees will be given
