"MISS FEAR
LESS & co."

Miss Fearless & Co.," under the
direction Of Mr.. Louis Spencer Daniel,
was presented at the Opera House Fri
day evening to a large, fashionable
and at times very enthusiastic au-
dience. The comedy is somewhat
long, and required more practice and
study than had been given it, lack
of familiarity with their lines being
all too evident at times. The more
attractive features were the fan drill
by the little girls, the singing by Char
lie Parker and the quartette, and the
sword duel between Capt Tidwell and
Lieut.. Caruthers, of the Columbia Mil
itary Academy fifteen points, for
medal. Both the young men were
quite dexterous with the sword, but
the medal went to Lieut.. Caruthers.
George Sloan came in for enthu-
siastic applause on account OF two
selections most excellently recited.

CARRYING 10000 CARS OF CEMENT
TO NEW ORLEANS.

The Louisville & Nashville has, ac
cording to reports from the East can
tured the largest single contract for
moving freight ever given railroad
in the South. The contract is for
hauling 10000 car loads of cement for
the United States Government from
Louisville to New Orleans, the entire
lot to be moved in ninety days
According to the story received here
the Government purchased the entire
output of a number of cement fac.
tories in New York and Pennsylvania,
10000 cars in all, for use on the Pan.

the Pennsylvania and the Chesapeake
& Ohio roads and will be delivered to
the Louisville G. Nashville road at
Louisville.
The movement of so heavy a ship
ment cannot be readily conceived by
one not in the freight business To
move this vast tonnage the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad will have to start
a train out of Louisville with from
twenty-eight to thirty cars every for.

NEW ORLEANS, April 26.-The
formal business of the sixteenth an

ternoon. One day of the reunion pro.

to the parade of the veterans, which
is scheduled to start at IL o'clock to-
morrow morning.
Richmond, Va, was selected as the
place for holding the next reunion.

The only competitor of Richmond was
Birmingham, Ala, but the sentiment
in favor of Richmond was SO strong
that the advocates of Birmingham did
not allow the matter to come to a
vote, and withdrew in favor of Rich
mond before a roll call was ordered.
The fact that the monume Mt to Jeffer-
son Davis is to be unveiled in Rich,
mond next year was a potent influ-
ence with many of the OLD soldiers,
and they were all exceedingly anxious
to hold their next meeting in that
city.
The present officers of the organi-
cation were re-eleCt.1 by reclamation,
there being no nominations made
against any of them
The reunion, viewed from a bust
ness standpoint, was very unevent-
fal. The chief new measures of i'm
Dortance to be adopted were one

OAKLAND, Cal, April 23.-Out in

coming into San Francisco met a
trailful Of persons who were going
