THE FOURTH AT PHILLIPS
BURG

Pursuant to the published program
the 4th of July was celebrated at this /
place, and, all things considered, was
a grand success. At the first streak |
of daylight in the east, the firing of !
anvils broke IN upon the slumber Of /
our citizens. As the Z o'clock tram |
pulled into the depot from the west, !
it found the COrnet Band, together
with a gOOdly number of our citizens,
waiting to welcome the delegation of
citizens from Norton, which number
ed from 200 to 300 persons. Alto
o'clock a. m. a procession was formed
upon the square, which headed by
the Band, marched to the Fair Ground
where the exercises wore held. A
bOwery had been built just north of
the grand stand, and a canopy cover
ed wagon was drawn up between and
! in front of the two which was used
! by the speakers. When the people
/ had finally assembled, the Band open
J ed the exercises with a well chosen
selection, after which prayer was Of
fered by Rev j. H. Decker. Then
the people all joined IN singing our
national hymn, America" at the
close of which Mayor Frank Strain
made a short address Of welcome and
closed the same by introducing the
orator of the day, Rev. Mr. Simmons,
who proceeded for about half an hour
to entertain the audience with a good
stirring address. The Band then
played another selection and the ex-
ercises were over until after dinner.
After dinner the program as pub
lshed was well carried out. DIR.
Wallace enthused the Grand Army
boys by responding to the toast re-
garding the old soldiers, and Fred
Close, of DOniphan county, who was
here visiting his relatives, favored the
people with a few moments talk
Then came the amusements Of the
day. The races were very. good; the
Calithumpians performed their par
as is usual on such occasions, and
all went merry as a marriage bell
But the interest of the day was cen
tered in the game of base ball, played
| between the Norton and our home
club. This was a closely contested
game; and for awhile the Norton boy
were ahead, but the tide turned, anC
our boys soon took the lead winning
, the game by a score Of IS to Is.
] Probably the most interesting fea
ture Of a celebration after all is tn
meeting Of old friends and acquaint
ances, who, while taking their din
ners in friendly groups IN true Clips,
style, discuss the local news Of tn
, surrounding country and cOmpar
notes on matters of unusual interes
to each other. Many of the peOpl
of the county remained until evenini
: to witness the fire works. The pyrC
: technic display was not so extensiv
as could have been desired, yet tn
selection was good and it was enjoye
by all.

Meeting at Findlay.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
FINDLAY, August 24-The annual reunion of
what is known as the Sherman Escort, which
was composed of the Seventh Independent
Company of Ohio Volunteer Sharpshooters.
began in this city yesterday and closed tonight
with a grand campfire. This company was or
ganized in Cleveland in October, 1862. with 1856
members. After going through the arduous
duties Of the war for couple Of years, on
the 1st of May, 1864, at Chattanooga, it was
assigned to duty as the personal escort or body
guard of General w, 7 Sherman, and re-
After the grand parade at Washington, the
escort was sent to st. Louis and established
Sherman's headquarters there. 1t then went
to Columbus, where 1t was mustered out July
2S, 1855, with 70 members. The company re-
ceived many coInmendations for gallant con-
duct and the. recruiting officer at Camp
on the rolls: "This is the most
orderly, quiet and best disciplined body
OF troops that has reported to me since arrival
here" The escort lost IL men during the
service, and now has about so members alive, Of
which number q attended the reunion here
to-day. General Sherman was expected to be
present. but sent telegram regretting his in
At the business meeting to-day the following
officers were elected for the ensuing year:

ARTISTIC SINGING.
The Howard Method.

Mr.. John Howard, the well-known voice
teacher of New York City, though he has
been in Pittshlrg only few days, already
finds two-thirds of his available time en-
gagged. His claims to a new and superior
method appear to be supported by high
authority. He is visited in New York for
special study by Frank Sergeant, Director
OF the Lyceum School of Dramatic Art; by
George Edgar, Shakespearean reader; by
Carl Duff and many others of great promi-
nence. The London Musical Times writes
of him as "the head of the physiological
school of voice training" The New York
Herald says: "His views derive authority
from his long experience as a successful
teacher who is himself q vocalist" F. Il.
Pease, the principal teacher of Detroit,
writes: ST can now advance pupil more
by ten lessons than 1 formerly could in
full year by the old plans" DR.. f. EMIL
Ter, tenor of the Church of the Holy Trinity,
N. Y, states: "Permit me to say that 1
know of no teacher in New York City who
can compare with you, either in the science
of vocal mechanism or in the practical
placement of the voice. Your method is as
far in advance of tbs present methods as
Wagner's music is above that Of his con-
freres. You cast aside the old empirical
way of teaching and produce the proper
emission OF tone by direct and mechanical
means, which can be demonstrated theoreti-
cally and practically as a success"
During the year Mr.. Howard spent in
Boston no less than five professional teach
ers of voice put themselves under his in
struction, including one voice teacher of the
New England Conservatory of Music. Any
one interested will be welcomed during the
coming week between 2:30 and $50 at his
studio, 502 Penn ave-, when each voice
could be tried and its prospects fairly stated.

A SEPARATE TRIAL.
Each oftbe Cronin Suspects Wants to Have
a Hearing All by Himself-The
States Attorney viii Op.
pose the Proposition
A AConspiracy Case.

AConspiracy Cases
CHICAGO, August 24.-The attorneys for
O'Sullivan to-day notified States At
torney Longenecker that on Monday next
when the Cronin case came to trial they
would move for a separate trial for their
client.
'One can readily see," said Attorney
Donohue this afternoon, "why it would be
highly prejudicial to our client to be tried
with Woodruff. The latter's alleged con-
fessions, in one of which he says that O'Sul-
livan was the third man who came out from
the Carlson cottage with the trunk contain
ing DR.. Cronin's body, the night of the
murder, and then returned to the cottage,
isl not admissible as evidence, because they
were made after the murder. Yet it would
be very damaging to O'Sullivan to be tried
with him. As for Coughlin and Burke, we
expect that some of the evidence against
though it by no means affects him."
A few minutes after the above notice was
received a messes sger arrived at the States
Attorneys Office bringing similar notices
from Mr.. Forrest, the attorney for Cough
lin and from Senator Kennedy, the attor-
ney for Burk. Thus, O'Sullivan, Cough
lin, and Burk will each make a fight for a
separate trial.
This move is not surprise to me-" said
States Attorney Longnecker. 81 expected
some such attempt at delay would be made
by the defense. OF course shall resist the
motions. The six defendants are indicted
for conspiracy, and ought to be tried to-
gether, and have no doubt they will be,
though, of course, I can not predict what
view the court will take"

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

A Bold Attack Made Upon Mrs. Frances
Jerome. of the Yellow Gross Society.
at Johnstown - -Centributions
In the West That Have
Not Yet Been
Received.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIspArcH.1
JoHNsTowN, August 24.-Mrs. Frances
Jerome, who represents the Yellow Cross
Society here, was assaulted last night by
two ruffians and dragged from her horse
while riding through deserted portion of
Prospect Hill. Robbery was evidently the
object of the villains, as she carried hand
bag, and the jingling of keys in her pocket
made them believe she had money. She
was pretty badly hurt before managing to
escape their clutches, but will not suffer
any serious consequences. Her assailants
have not yet been captured.
Mr.. c. Louther, a prominent shoe dealer
OF this place, returned to-day from a visit to
the West. He says that at many towns
throughout the country there are funds of
from s, 900 to 5000 which have been con-
tributed for the Johnstown sufferers. At
Dubuque, Ia. the treasurer of the fund. has
S., 900, at Waverly and Waterloo there are
also considerable amounts. The money has
not been sent here because of the confusion
in the minds of the people as to how the
affairs are being managed.
The statement of Governor Beaver r.
garding the Boston fund that it was not
needed, has led the people to think tina.
their money is not wanted, and much of IL
will likely be diverted to other places,
This state Of affairs is unfortunate, for the
people here need all they can get. If the
matter of making the distributions was con-
Quoted in a business manner, there is no
danger of getting more money than can be
properly applied.

SLOW GETTING A SETTLEMENT.
A Long Time Consumed in Securing Lewis
Bros. & Co.'S Schedules.
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsPArc,

Drots q Co.'S ScneduieB.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, August 24.-The schedules
Of Lewis Bros. & Co., it is now said, will
not be ready for filing until the latter
part of the week. They will be filed in
Philadelphia, and it is doubtful if copy
is filed in this city. 1t is q month since the
firm failed, and creditors have been unable
to learn anything definite about the firms
condition. The confident feeling that the
firm would make good showing appears to
have disappeared, and the delay in prepar-
ing their statement has led to the idea in
trade circles that the showing will be poor.
A report was current to-day that the
liabilities will be between $1,000 900 and
81, 600, 900, with assets of 81, 600, 900. While
the creditors seem to be very friendly
toward the firm, some of them are only wait
ing to see the official schedules before taking
steps to protect their interests.
Some OF the creditors who have been try
ing to find out something about the firms
condition have made discovery that three
weeks before the firm failed, Henry Lewis,
one of the partners, transferred valuable
real estate in this city, the consideration
being S225, 900. On July he transferred
property on Franklin street, with a five-
story store, to Alister Greene, for S75.O 900.
and on the following day he transferred
property on White street, consisting of two
lots and a six-story building, to Elliott
Zborowski, for $50, 900. The $225, 600, it is
said, was used in the business, to help the
firm along.

CAUSED BY WRONG ORDERS.
A Train Dispatcher Blamed for tho Last
Wreck on the b. & O.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, August "a
Not until to-day has it been possible to re-
ceive full report of the wreck which oc-
CURED at Silver Run yesterday forenoon.
The killed are james Layman, enfineer, of
Parkersburg, and Firemen Bailey and
Fletcher, of Grafton. The seriously injured
are Joseph Rowland, j. A. Hunier, r. L.
Heflin, Michael Graham, all Of Grafton;
Thomas Henry and r. j. Malley. of Park
ersburg; Mrs. Manly, of Central station,
and a colored porter of Baltimore. Row
land is so badly crushed that he cannot live.
Engineer Layman was thrown from his
cab clear over the two colliding engines,
and one Of his legs torn from his body and
the other ground to a pulp. Fireman
Bailey was an absolutely unrecognizable
mass of pulverized boxes and flesh. His
head was not found till this morning, when
it was discovered wedged in between his
shoulder blades, with the skull as bare as
though it had been scalped. Layman was
the Oldest engineer on the road, and this
was his first serious wreck. The trouble
was caused by the train dispatcher at
Grafton issuing different orders to the two
trains
