Tho Remains OF General Rewley Inferred
in Homewood Cemetery.
While the solemn words of reverence
fell from the lips of the Rev. w. J. Reid
upon the still atmosphere of Homewood
Cemetery yesterday, the mortal remains Of
distinguished warrior were lowered into
the deep, dark grave. Circled around
for many yards stood with bowed
heads and tear-dewed eyes the rela-
tives, friends, comrades and acquaintanoes
of the late General Thomas A. Rowley saw
with sorrow-weighted hearts the earthly re-
mains lowered into the chill receptacle.
Among the large number in attendance at
the last services were men who had heard
his voice resound times without number
upon the battlefield; there were those who
had heard his soft tones of more quiet times
and those who had listened TO his gentle tones
in home life In two wars was the deceased
prominent During the Mexican war he
served as he did during the late unpleas-
antness. There stood beside the grave yes
terday John w. McCully, Of McKeesport,
who served during the Mexican war In
General Rowley's same company, Company
A, of the First Pennsylvania Volunteers,
familiarly known as jackson Blues. The
services were those of the ritual of the
Union Veteran Legion, and were held at
the residence of q son of the deceased at
No. 383 Webster avenue. The funeral cor
tege was composed of Encampment No. l,
Union Veteran Legion, the Washington
Infantry, the One Hundred and Second
Regiment and the Montooth Band.

THE CIRCUS TRIUMPHANT.

Barnum's Breaks the Reoord-Columbui
Discovering America Is lmmense-Kafe
Claxton, Kate Castleton and the County
Fair-AN tbs Plays in Town.
Columbus discovered America for the
forty-fourth time last night exclusive OF an
engagement he filled some four centuries
previous when he was playing for the
Queen of Spain. This last discovery was
made in Exposition Park in the pres
ence of $4,000 spectators. 1t was
| about 10 o'clock when, in the name OF
Heaven and of Spain, he planted the banner
OF the cross. When the last of the grand
pageant had disappeared behind the scenes,
the public verdict was that Imre Kiralfy's g
latest production was his masterpiece.
Around the life of the great Columbus he
has woven pretty romance and set 1t Oh
by prettier ballet girls, and if the original
discover had been accompanied by so hand
some bevy of maidens, the old world might
nave mourned for great man who never
returned
In fact, the whole of the Barnum & Bailey
circus is worthy of the name of the greatest
show on earth. The menagere is up to its
usual high standard. The largest giraffe
Is kept In padded cage, not because it Is in
sane, but because its head reaches 30 far out
SIDE that it has no way OF governing the
movements OF its body. Inside the main
tent the performance on three rings and two
elevated stages claimed the admiration
of the audience from the grand
entrance until Kiralfy's columbus" claimed
the attention of all. The traDeze and horse
exhibitions were beyond doubt the finest
ever witnessed in this city. A special act
introduces Mile. Zarah, in which she balances
on swinging trapeze and plays the castinets
with all the beauty of motion Of Car
mencita. The most novel exhibition was
that of Prof. Welton and his troupe OF
trained cats
The spectacle Of Columbus, however. was
the feature of the show. Every detail is
historically correct even to the small ban
ners carried by the testers and the method
of arranging the ballet girls back hair. The
scene opens in the Alhambra Palace and the
dance which follows is q perfect poem of
or color1ngs that Is beatty itself A peculiar
feature, too, is that descendants of the very
Moors driven out of Granada by
FERDINAND 400 years later are initiating
the characters of their ancestors in mimic
play in another world. The greatest truly
spectacular scene Is that of the sighting of
land from the Santa Maria. The ship is
shown full size and the ocean scene is over
5oo feet long: The storm is perfect at night,
the gloom of a tempest with over $50 sun
pouring down through the canvas
The rriumphal return of Columbus
is the grandest pageant ever pro-
duced. On the whole Columbus stands out
far in advance of Kiralfy's production of
Nero. Even the music, which is written
after the ideas Of the time, has a quaint
stated that 20, 900 people were turned away
from the doors.

How the Report of Race Mt Sea Was
Cabled to the Shore.
Manchester (Eng.) Times.l
The present is a time of progress. At the
boat race the other day, the boat conveying
the representatives of the press, which fol-
lowed after the rival crews, carried on 1t
telegraphic instrument and few miles of
coiled cable. The one end of the latter was
fastened to the instrument on board, the
other to an instrument in the nearest tele-
graph Office on land.
Then, as the boat steamed after the crews,
the cable was paid out, and all the time
messages describing the race at various
points were cabled to the Press Association
offices, in each case within a minute after
the crews actually passed them. The result
was, many of the London clubs had almost
continuous information about the race while
it was going on; and newspapers with full
accounts of it were being sold six minutes
after Oxford passed the winning post.

The Sugar Trust Didn't Expect Him to
Prosecute Its Members.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-[Special. J.
Steve Elkins confded to friend to-day
the fact that there Is considerable annoy
ance at the action of Attorney General Mil
Ter in proceeding against the Sugar Trust in
Philadelphia The Mckinley bill, as is
well known here, was framed, as far as its
sugar schedule was concerned, at the direc-
tion and in perfect sympathy with the Sugar
Trust.
AS payment for this legislation, which
meant millions of dollars in its treasury,
the trust, it is understood, contributed an
enormous sum to the campaign in Ohio
which resulted in the election of Mr. Nc
Kinley as Governor of Ohio. 1t came to
the rescue of the Republicans again in
Rhode Island, and it promised to do its
duty nobly In the approaching Presidential
campaign. And now, after all this had
been arranged, it seems that Attorney Gen
eral Miller has begun to harass and annoy
the trust by legal proceedings against it,
under the antitrust act.
