new ones in the lot. which Manager
Barkoot has brought to Columbia ana
these are attracting a great deal of
attention. The “Jerusalem” shyw is
a wonderful piece of mechanism
which was 12 years in the making,
the “Ghosts” show is a cyclorama of
amusing events which at first startle
and then amuse as they are so evi
dently unreal; the Streets of Cairo is
a good show of its kind, and the main
feature, the juggler, has some tricks
which would do credit to even Her-
iiiann the Great. The trick of remov
ing a snake, seven feet in length,
from a borrowed hat, was indeed a
surprise to the owner who did not
appear to have been imbibing.
“The plantation show, the glass
blowers and the other shows are all
as represented. “Creation” and the
“Red Dome” are places where the
vijry latest films may be seen such
subjects being presented as the game
of hall between the New York giants
and the Philadelphia Athletics.
"Manager Barkoot has given good
shows as he promised he would do,
and has brought to Columbia the best
carnival hand which has ever been
heard here. Last night they played
such fine music as selections from
Lucia, the “Holy City,” Cavalleria,
etc.”
THE “DENVER EXPRESS.”
Other Oepra House Managers Heartily
Endorse the Show.
Words of commendation about the
“Denver Express” Company, which
will he the attraction at the Stai
Theatre tonight (Friday), still con
tinue to come in to the manager of the
opera house. The play was presented
in Gastonia last Saturday night, ano
Manager Torrence'of the opera house
at that place writes:
“It is the best attraction we have
had this season, and the best of its
kind we have ever played. Our peo
ple were lauging and screaming from
time curtain was up until play was
over. You will flnnd Mr. Ravencroft
a perfect gentleman and all of the
people good and clever. We asked
him for return date so you know what
that means.”
A like sentiment has been express
ed by people of Gaffney who have
witnessed the performance; and ♦he
manager of the Star Theatre feels
that he may safely recommend the
"Denver Express” to the patrons of
his house as a strictly high-class at
traction. and well worthy of a sextd
patronage.
The Gastonia Gazette says of the
show:
“The Denver Express proved to be
one of the best plays of the season.
It was a roof-lifter to the folks who
saw it Saturday night.”

Frail Durham was arranged at Co

for the murder of L. C. Hilton. A
venire of 125 men was issued in addi-
tioh to the regular jury and all were

25 more were summoned from whicn
to select the twelfth juror. The jury
was completed about two o’clock

J. E. Waddell, charged with the
murder of J. C. Beard at Salisbury,
was sober enough to appear for trial
Saturday morning. Jack Rary, a
white cabman, testified that he nad
driven the dead man anil the defen
dant over the town Wednesday and
Thursday, and that Beard had shown
a fat purse during their sport. A
hat, known to have been worn by
Waddell, was found beside the dean
man Friday. Ben Simpson also testi
fied for the defendant, that the latter
was drunk Thursday night and un
able to be away, and that Simpson
spent the night from 8 o’clock to 6:30
the next morning with him. This
seemed a pretty good alibi. Esquire
Miller sent Waddell back to give the
matter mature consideration when he
will give his judgment.
Two of the escaped prisoners from

ville, who went to Knoxville last
Tuesday night for that purpose. Sher
iff Reed received information that
Dixon and Woodruff were in Knox
ville: that, they had purchased some,
whiskey there and were preparing to
l^ave for Kentucky. The sheriff sent
Greenlee, who knows Dixon and
Woodruff, to the Tennessee city to
effect the arrest and Wednesday
morning received a message stating
that the escaped prisoners had been
captured.
Joe Forqurean, colored, was arrest
ed at South Boston last week on the
charge of having assisted in wrecking
passenger train No. 11 two miles
south of thai place August 29th. For
qurean was given a preliminary hcai
ing, and evidence presented by wit
nesses proved that the train wa,-.
wrecked through mistake, and that
the train from Atlanta to Richmonu
was the one wanted by the wreckers,
their object being to obtain express
money. An iron claw bar and wrenen
stolen from the tool house of the N01-
folk and Western Railway were
found at the place as stated by the
prisoner, who hid the same hfter the
wreck. The train wreckers were
hiding behind an iron fence near the
Southern Railway at the the time
the train was wrecked. Forqurean
was sefit to the Houston jail to await
the action of the grand jury.
