An ejectment suit tried in Beaver county lately attracted considerable at tention, as it involved oil territory and production in the Shannopin held valued at $ 1,000,000. The case had its origin back in 1885. The land in con troversery, 100 acres in Hopewell town ship, Beaver county, was leased to .1 A Tomlinson by the late A. P. Morrow. The land was operated by Clark Hayes, S. G Bayne and J. M. Fuller. Later, the interests were sold to the Forest oil Company, and all these are named as defendants. The plaintiff, Mrs. Mary J. Kennedy, claims that her father, Mr. Morrow, deeded her the land on Jan. 2, 18x;{, and the deed antedates the oil lease by several days.

M GKAND OL'EItA HOU.SK, PITMUt:«'J The audiences at the Grand during the current week were so large, that it gave ample evidence that high class plays admirably produced meet the ap proval of the public. A large major ity of the afternoon audiences is com posed of out-of town people who went to the city to do Christmas shopping, 'in Monday next, and during the week, Augustin Daily's great New York suc cess, a very beautiful high-class society comedy drama, entitled "The Lottery of Loye" will be the chief attraction. It will be presented at the Grand in the most magnificent manner with new scenery, rich costumes, and in every way identically as it was produced by Mr. Daly. The established and very successful policy of continuous per formances at the grand will be in vogue as usual from 1 to 11 p. 111 . and to avoid even a moments break in the con tinuity of the entertainment quite a large number of distinguished high class vaudeville artists will appear in their several popular specialties Among the nrincipal stars is the cele brated < 'harles T Ellis, besides a score of other vaudeville celebrities. TLLK AVKM.'K TLLKA TItK, PITTSHUKfi. This beautiful theatre commences its permanent winter season 011 Monday next and opens with a Christmas mati nee.

It will be tin: attraction every evening and at regular matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. The opening of the Avenue Theatre may be regarded as an epoch in the dramatic history of Pittsburg. —For bargains in valuable and desir able residences inquire of Walker & Mc- Elvain. l or Table Litlen and Towels go to Tint I'Koei.H's STOKK.
