highton Borough, in the matter of dam
ages which Mr.. Obert claims for the up-
setting of several wagon loads of hay
and for the injury of one of his EN-
ployees, some weeks ago, was heard be-
fore Squire Lcntz, on NORTHAMPTON
street, Monday evening. The several
witnesses testified that the gutter was
In bad condition and required careful
driving in order to cross with a heavy
load. The drivers of the teams which
met with the upset testified that they
took all the precaution possible in cross
ing the gutter, &c, &c. Samuel Gray
er and AL Guth, witnesses for the bor-
ough, testified that with careful driving
the gutter could be safely crossed; GRAY
er claiming that he could cross it safely
with a four horse team, sc. Mr.. Obert
is willing to pay either OF these two
gentlemen S25 if they can substantiate
their claims according to the testimony
they gave Monday evening. The evil
dence was summed upand the argument
heard, Squire Lentz reserving his de-
cision until Wednesday, at which time
the plaintiff was non-suited.

The Coal Trado Active.

Inc GOAL Tfado AcLlVe.
There is an active business doing in
anthracite coal at present, says the
Record, and the demand exceeds the
supply. Operators are working much
closer this year than last, and there is
no danger of an overproduction. Al
though the indications for September's 5
trade are fully equal to those of this
period last year, still the limit of the
output for the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company is 800 coo tons
below the amount allowed for last Sep
TENDERS production. This will reduce
stocks to a minimum. A possible adj
vance of say 2j cents per ton is looked
for at the meeting of general coal agents
in New York, in view of the low rates
ruling there as the result of the antici-
patton of n heavy overproduction which
has not been fulfilled

this company is distinctively American, and a
national enterprise, tits intended for the develop
ment of the American voice and to enhance the
appreciation of the highest class of music Dy the
American public. The projectors distinctly pro-
claim their desire to present ensemble opera, to
give no single feature undue prominence to the
injury of others, and to distinctly discourage the
pernicious star system, long since discounte-
n&nced In continental Europe.
America has larger proportion of great
singers than any other country. To bring them
home from the grand opera houses of Europe,
where they had sought employment. singing in
other tongues. and give them opportunity to be
heard at home. became necessarily duty of an
association of such scope as this. To do this a
large repertory was necessary, and the conse-
quent outlay for preliminary expenses, scenery,
costumes and mechanical effects absorbed the
greater portion of their large capital. The COM
pany opened in New York, Jan. 6, of. this year.
It's success was almost phenomenal. The entire
Eastern press showed its appreciation by unani-
nous hearty approval, and it has been conceded
by all competent authority that the productions

A GREAT MUSICAL ENTERPRISE.
How the American Opera Company Came To

The American Opera Company which has
been induced to visit Indianapolis under the
auspices of the G. A. R. Music Festival COM

subject of much commendatory comment in

are now of special interest locally The forma-
ton of The company is the result of an endeavor
on the part of q number Of public-spirited citi-
ZenS of national reputation to further the inter

the formation of the American School of Opera
met with such hearty encouragement and its ad
vantages as a training school for American voices
were readily accepted, that the projectors of
the enterprise almost ut once determined to con-

DISCOVERY OF A CONSPIRACY.
Arrest of SaloOn-Keeper and Five Confeder-
ates on the Charge of Arson.

Last Thursday Sergeant Travis and Patrol
men Walker and Scheigert got on track of a
scheme on the part of Butch Mcdonald who has
been running the Turf Exchange, saloon on
West Washington street opposite the State
house, to burn the bnilding in order to get the
benefit of 81, 600 insurance placed on the saloon
stock about week ago. The insurance was il
cleveland & Browns agency. The stock of
liquors and cigars and the fixtures that
were of any value were taken out early
asst week and removed to a saloon
on East Washington street, near the railroad
crossing, in which Mcdonald is supposed to
have some interest. The original plan was to
fire the building on West Washington street
to take the risk himself, and Jack Coughlen was
offered $50 to set fire to the place on that night
He, it seems, declined, or failed to fulfill the
contract. Mcdonald offered Preston Davis $25
TO start the blaze on Friday night. In this case.
ALSO there was a hitch in the programme.
Another man was offered $15a to do it.
and refused In the meantime Travis. Walker
and Scheigert who watching the place
closely, proposed to sound fre-alarn and to ar
rest the parties. Saturday night Sergeant
Sauers and several patrolmen were placed near
tain Campbell. Sergeant Travis aud others were
watching at the saloon that was to be burned.
At o'clock Mcdonald and his associates were
discovered moving about the locality in a hack.
He and one or two of the lien got out near the
saloon. Afterward they were seen to walk north
on Tennessee street, and the hack went after
them and picked them up. The police then
pected that the fire had been started. Sergeant
Qusley. and .patrolman broke in, the
door, found that everything had been
saturated with oil and that fire
had been started in the garrett. under the roof.
The firemen at No. engine house were called
out and stopped the blaze, which, but for the
lack of air, would have swept the building away
in few minutes. Mcdonald and his associates,
S. B. Sculy, Thomas Wallace, Jack Coughen,
Preston Davis and the hack-driver. Michael
Milan, were arrested. The first three were
slated for arson and the others for conspiracy.
The men who started the fire were Wallace and
Scully. and they were to have been paid 5000 for
the job soon the insurance could be col
lected Nine gallons of oil, procured at West
Washington street store, were used to saturate
the building which is the property of John NJ.
