A SUCCESS.
The First Electric Railroad in America
Put in Operation.

CLEVELAND. o, July 81.
The first electric railroad for public use in
America went into operation here yesterday
in connection with the East Cleveland street
railroad company, who have just completed
a mile road The experiment was so sue
cessful that the company expect TO change
the entire system, comprising 20 miles, into
electric roads. The system used was a com
bination of the Brush and Knight and Bent
ley and the current was carried on under
ground conductors, laid in conduits, like
those of cable roads. The cars were started
and stopped and reversed with the greatest
ease. Any number of cars up TO 10 can be
run at one time on a single circuit, a result
not attained by any of the European systems
now in operation. The success Of the new
road has made a great sensation in both
street railroad and electrical circles and is
expected to greatly extend the field Of elec
trical developement as well as greatly en-
hance the value of street railroad property.

THE BRADLEY OUTRAGE.
Several of the Human Brutes Confess.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, July &c, 1884.
Fifty one men were arrested last night and
this morning for implication in the brutal out
rage on Lizzie Bradley. The police, number
ing 40 men, proceeded up the river to Glen
wood, where they surprised a party of twelve
men. who were handcutfed and brought to the
city. The officers then went to Streets Run
and arrested 32 more at 3 o'clock this morn
ing. When the officers appeared at the shanty
the occupants were all asleep, and as soon as
they were aroused they were handcuffed. The
suddenness of the attack caused the greatest
excitement in the camp, some of the prisoners
being impressed with the idea that hostile
band was upon them, and they began to take
active measures for defence
A small boy was the fret to discover the
presence of the officers and he gave q shril
cry OF alarm thai aroused the whole gang. He
promptly quieted, however, and in describing
the scene said every man had two revolvers
and they snapped the things around the mem $
wrists before they were fully awake The
men were finally made to understand that they
had been arrested and would have to 90 to
town, and then they made no farther efforts at
resistance. They were brought to the city in
wagons and placed in the Central Station.
Two men, Robert Grimes (white) and Henry
Hilton (colored) were secured this afternoon
at West Elizabeth. On the person of the lat
ter was found Miss Bradley's diamond ear
drops, and through them the rest of the jewelry
was recovered. The young lady is better to
day, and will probably recover, but this ap-
pears like q miracle, when the terrible treat
ment she was subjected to is considered. A
number of the prisoners deny that they had
anything to do with the assault but that sew
eral others have confessed. and the story that
they tell is one of the most depraved and bru-
tai ever heard. They have been placed in
Jail for a hearing next Friday, when it is
thought the young lady will have recovered
sufficiently to appear against them

As IT CHOLERA.
A Baby's Death That Frightened the
Inhabitants on the Mississippi.

ST. LoUis, July Pc.
Steamer Annie P. Silver arrived here yes
terday. Capt. Bryant states that just before
leaving New Orleans, on the 10th inst,
family, consisting of a man, wife and four
children, evidently in INDECENT circumstances,
came on board the steamer and engaged deck
passage to -. Louis The youngest chi Ia.
baby six months old, was quite sick with
the ordinary summer complaint, and when
the boat was opposite Greenyille, Miss. il
died. The carpenter of the boat made pine
coffin in which the remains were deposited
and at the next landing they were buried in
the presence Of most of the passengers and
crew. No one for moment supposed the
disease was anything but common summer
complaint and was not thought of again. On
the arrival of the steamer here, the remainder
OF the family lett the boat in good health,
but where the family went Capt. BRYANT does
not know. The head of the family had stated
through an interpreter that he was a Span
lard from Oporo and that he had sailed from
that place to Vera Cruze. Mexico, where
he had kept sailing for two months.
Tie then went to New Orleans and from there
to st. Louis. He could not speak French
and Capt. Bryant does not believe that he
came from Toulon.
WAsHINGToS, july 26.
John d. Stevenson, health commissioner
of ST Louis, today, telegraphed Surgeon
General Hamilton that the Annie 7. Silver
had arrived there, and that the report OF
cholera on board on the trip up the Missis-
sippi river was not warranted by facts. He
says thorough examination OF the alleged
cholera case shows that the family whose
child died during the trip, had been residents
of Mexico for more than wear came TO the
United States seven months ago; never were
in the cholera infected district of France
and that the child died from summer com
plant Surgeon General Hamilton also re-
ceived, today, a copy of letter dated July
10Th, from DR.. J. p. Peace, who attended the
case on the boat, and who warned the au-
thorities at Nashville, Tenn, DIR. Peace
says tina the family arrived at New Orleans
five days since July l4th. from San Luis,
Spain. The vessel had been at Bordeaux,
Toulon and Vera Cruz. Though the father
did not speak English, DIR. Peace say that he
learned that he had been detained at Toulon.
The doctor says further; ''The child died
with every symptom of the cholera Whether
this was case of Asiatic or sporadic chol-
era, will not positively assert, but cholera
it certainly was"
