In 1863 near the Kentucky Ohio line a small Union detachment faced Morgan’s guerrillas. Mrs Crawford, wife of telegraph operator Frank Crawford, braved the lines to guide a delayed train to safety and save soldiers. Her courage, aided by a nurse, ensured the revival of the mission while Crawford was captured and later spared by General Ellsworth.

He describes extravagant coat length, bold braids, and flashy shirt studs, then recounts a years‑old clash with relatives and a later Jesuit–nun occupation of a house in a London Globe feature.
An 18th century Canary Islands anecdote tells how Dominican nuns in Orotava Tenerife seized a Jesuit house after a staged kneeling entry. The two Jesuit men, including the rector, argued, but the nuns persisted claiming the space would serve as a convent, leaving the rector trapped in the sacristy.
The Providence Opera House houses E. M. and Joseph Holland for three nights and a matinee starting October 26. The program includes A Social Highwayman in a Providence run, and a double bill 1871 adapted from Daudet followed by A Superfluous Husband by Fitch and Deitrichstein. The Hollands’ company features Minnie Radcliffe, Olive Oliver, Blanche Burton, Norah Lamison, Ethel Douglass, Augusta Foster, and several male leads. The Wizard of the Nile returns with the same cast except Cleopatra sung by Edue Thornton, plus Louise Royce and others. A reader note cites Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, with local warnings attached.
