An American Ballet,
Special to the Globe.


NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The project of a
ballet of sixty American girls of ire
prOachable moral character is existing the
brisk comment of showmen to-day. Mrs.
Francis B. Thurber, wife of the million
aire merchant and anti-monopolistic poll
tician, has planned a season of grand opera
by Amerlca-born singers altogether.
She had hired the academy of music for a
beginning in January next. She has en-
gagged the principals of company, and all
the arrangements are under way on large
scale. Miss Thurber insists that every per-
former on the stage shall be an American.
She was told that ii would be impossible to
get a ballet of that sort. She had
already placed native chorus in
training, and she said that she
would institute school OF dancing to grad
uate ballet by the time they were required
Moreover, every pupil should be of un-
dOubtedly good morals. She would not be

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23.-W. A.Shaw,
a stenOgrapher employed in the office of
Wayne MacVeigh, has, through the de-
scriptiOn and newspaper cuts of Maxwell
the alleged murderer of Preller. at st.
Louis, identified the accused as Hugh
Brooks, former acquaintance at Hyde,
LEICESTER, England. Mr.. Shaw last saw
Brooks in August, 1854, when on a visit to
his parents, who reside near Hyde. Brooks
then had an office as solicitor in Hyde, but
did not have much practice and amused him
self with various scientific pursuits. He
was much devoted to magic lanterns and
apparently was accustomed to make expert
mentS. He had many notable eccentricities-
and III personal appearance was strange
looking. His eyes would wander and he
seemed engaged in study. His father had
oeen summering at the Isle of Wight, and
during his absence the son spent money ex-
travagantly. and to cover his expenditures
forged his fathers name to q note for $500.
On account of this misdeed. he left Hyde
and went to Dublin, afterwards drifting to
America.

Long Island Crematory Excitement.

SPtNleA " llie 0luut-
New YORK, Aug. 23.-The negroes and
other ignorant residents in the neighbOrs
hood of the creamatory in the course of
erection on Long Island, few miles out
from Brooklyn, believe that God has pros
trGted the walls of the structure. Kate
Field and others agitated the subject
of cremation as a substitute for the in
teTment of human bodies, and a COM
pany was formed to build a temple
containing a furnace that would
reduce a corpse to ashes by intense
heat alone. Ground was bought right
between two large cemeteries, the
Lutheran and the Mount Oliver, and tine
United States Cremation company began
last fall to build in accordance with the best
scientific and artistic plans. Close by the
live the members of an African Methodist
congregation, and they, with many Others,
looked upon the erematOry with super
stitiCus horror. They got to calling it
BengleSs, hell, after DR.. J. ID. BengleSs, its
chief promoter, and in their prayer meet
ingS. especially the enterprise, was
hgbitually denounced. The destruction of
the structure was constantly prayed for,
and now, tremendous wind storm having
raised it, they are finally convinced that
divine wrath caused the ruin. They have
held a jubilee meeting in consequence. As
the disaster had crippled the cOmpany's
work it has not been resumed. nor is 1t
likely to be soon, and this is interpreted by
the opponents as an abandonment of the
project through fear Of a second outbreak
of heavens disapprovaL. They tell re-
markable stories of supernaturalism in the
storm that raised the half finished crema-
tory, such as loud voices denouncing it,
and words blazed in the story by lightning.

FD1NBURG, Aug. 23.-Dr. Talmage de-
livered a sermon on The Wonders of These
Times this morning in the Square hall.
Edinburg. to an audience of upwards of
twenty thousand, comprised of a large pro-
portion of the leading people of the city
and surrounding places. Great difficulty
was experienced in getting into the hall,
and after preaching indoors Mr.. Talmage
was compelled to preach out of doors. His
discourse was heard with the utmost in
terest. The opening hymn begins with the
lines: Jesus shall reign where'er the sun" F"
Mr.. Talmages Scripture lesson was taken
from the twenty-fourth chapter of Mat
thew, the passage having reference to the
second coming of Christ. He took for his
text: Il will show wonders in the heavens
and in the earth. Joel, ch. 2, V. 30. The
following is a full report of the sermon
delivered:

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Late Saturday
night, in a sparsely populated portion of
the town of Lake, Sarah Snyder, mistress
of Cornelius O'Leary, was shot and in
stantly killed, and Kate O'Leary, sister of
the supposed murderer, was so seriously
wounded by pistol shot that she will
probably die. 1t is believed almost certain
that OLeary killed his mistress and at
tempted to take the life of his sister, as
shortly previous to the shooting the trio
were seen together drinking beer. O'Leary
has not yet been found. The wounded
woman refuses to say anything whatever
about the affair. The occurrence has q
historical aspect, in that Cornelius O'Leary
is the son of the Mrs. O'Leary whose

Whipping Negroes.

CpSClfAl W IuG
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 2S.-For
months past a more or less bitterfeeling has
existed between certain white and black cit
liens of Humphreys county. Recently a
negro who attempted to escape from a
crowd which intended to administer beat
ing to him was shot and the next morning
his dead body was found near his cabin. All
efforts to discover the perpetrators of the
crime were futile. Other negroes were
taken out and brutally lashed and vet no
arrests were made. information was re-
ceived to-day that a mob of seven disguised
men visited the home of Samuel Low, (cOl-
Ored), in the Duck river bottom and, pre-
senting revOlverS at the frightened man,
dragged him from his bed. They con-
veyed him to the woods and
administered more than one hundred blows
with irOn-wOod switches, larcerating his
back in horrible manner. West Regan
(cOlored), who had been secured by the
mob before they found Low, was also
beaten, being given twenty blows and or
dered to leave the county. which he did at
once. Low is seriously i'll and will be un-
able to leave his bed for some days. John
GOrin, cOlOred school teacher in this
vicinity, found on his door a note warning
him to leave the county or suffer the con-
sequences. GOrin, who was very much
alarmed, departed Immediately. The best
citizens of Humphreys county strongly con-
demn these Outrages and will likely call on
the governor TO offer a reward for the ap-
prehenSiOn of the guilty parties.

Democracy vs. Vanderbilt.

SlSCAal OlODe-
HARRISBURG, Penn, Aug. 2S.-The
abandonment by Vanderbilt of the South
Pennsylvania railroad enterprise prom
ises to invest the Democratic state
convention with a peculiar inter
est. 1t is reasonably certain that
a platform will be adopted vigorously
denOuncing the Vanderbilt deal, and de-
manding the interposition of the
state to prevent its full eonsum-
nation. The convention will make
most of the Indignation aroused
by the railroad directory, in the hope of at
tracing TO the support of the Democratic
candidate for state treasurer many Republi-
can votes. In view of the strangling of a
resolution in favor of anti-diSeriminatiOn
legislation by the Republican state cOnven-
tiOn and the South Pennsylvania affair. the
Democratic convention will take particu-
larry strong grounds in favor OF the enforce
ment by appropriate enactment of the con-
Stitutonal provision prohibiting railroad
discrimination, etc. The convention is
expected to be harmonious. The friends of
the state administration will demand a
strong Endorsement of its course. They
will net be satisfied with resolution such

THE WABASH TROUBLE.
The knights OF Labor Moving VeT
GingerlY in the Matter

OAHSer ly IN the Matter.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 23.-Railroad affairs
here remain practically unchanged. No di-
rect issue has yet been made, and matters.
ON the surface at least, are quiet. Knights
of Labor in the Missouri Pacific shops will
not touch Wabash rolling stock, and there
IS no disposition on the part of
the Missouri Pacific officials to REQUIRE
them to do so. Yesterday the bridge COM
pany undertook to handle Wabash engines
and prepare them for work, but as soon as
1t was discovered that nearly all the en-
pioyeS OF that company were Knights of
Labor, superintendent Dickinson withdrew
his ORDERS and Wabash engines now re-
eelYe what attention they requiae at the
rotnd houses OF that company in North and
East st. Louis. In some cases engines
have been turned and cleaned by non-union
men III the Missouri Pacific shops, but
request that no more should be sent there
has been complied with and thus the
OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ISSUE
has been avoided. So far as repairs are
concerned, the Wabash shops can do light
work here and in East. st. Louis, and all
important repairs can still be done at
Mooerly, Mo-, Springfield and Decatur,
ILL.,, and other points where the shops are
run by non-unlon men. The chief appre-
henslon is that the executive committee will
issue another order directing the Knights
to refrain from handling or in anv way
moving any Wabash freight. If that is
done 1t is feared that the locomOtiye,en-
gineers will necessarily be involved, and
real trouble will result The report that
the men at Stanberry, No., have resumed
work Is confirmed, butit is believed they
returned under a misapprehension of the
situation, and that they will go ont again
as soon as they are better informed.
GONE INTO EFFECT.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. ga tele-
phone report comes from ArmOurdaIe that
the st. Louis order boycotting Wabash
cars went into effect there to-day in the
Union Pacific yards at that point and
no switching of Wabash cars has
been done. The Wabash repairing is
done in the Union Pacific shops. The
full effect of the order cannot be deter
mined before tomorrow. The yard-mastes
in the Wabash freight yards states that
there are but two Knights of Labor in their
yards. These two, who are foremen,> quit
work to-day, and their placesw be sup
piled at once.
