After the actors have learned their parts
thoroughly the stage manager must turn
his attention to the way they handle their
bodies He should correct at rehearsal
every ungraceful movement and devise
stage groupings which are effective and
eloquent when seen from the audiences
point Of view. There are also many little
tricks of ''stage business which he should
explain to the actors. For instance, when
two people are on the stage together it is
proper courtesy for each actor to take a
few steps toward the footlights after hav-
ing finished his speech, SO as to allow the
other to turn his face toward the audience
while speaking.

mOnt of Young Servant Girl.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 3O.-Dr. D. ]. stivers,
well known physician, aud his wife,
whero arrested to-day, charged with
the most sickening brutality to o six
toon-year-old girl. Her name is Annie
Burre. Her father is a poor farmer,
and gave the girl to Or. stivers and his
wife to be properly trained for the work
she could do about their house. The
charges were at first brought by neigh
bors, but the police took hold OF 1t.
The girl, who is child in her ways,
was intimidated and feared to talk at
first, swearing that she was well treated.
1t was developed that for three years
she has been compelled to go barefooted
all winter, to scrub and do other heavy
work until after midnight, and when
she Jagged red hot poker was used by
Mrs. Stiyers TO urge her on. Several
times, the girl now says, Mrs. Stiyers
has poured boiling water over her,
leaving terrible burns on her body.
Often she was refused food until she
devoured scraps from the ash barrel.
Neighbors once saw her scrub the
rear pavement, naked, on u cold night:
She said that the woman once knocked
out tooth with n stick OF wood. DR..
Stivers cut her finger rs punishment
for not bringing his slippers. DR.. Thos.
p. Grant made an examination of her
body and reported as follows to the
Humane society:
Three cuts on right side OF head, a
hali-inch long; two cuts on top OF head !,
half-inch long; two cuts on back OF
head, half-inch long; one scar, one and
one.half inch long, on left sido OF head;
hair pulled out by handful; bald spots
and clotted blood; six scars on face;
scald on left arm five inches long, two
inches wide. made by Mrs. stivers with
boiling water; two scalds on right leg.
Isshes-On back, twenty-one; right
thigh, six; left thigh, three; tooth
knocked out.
DR.. Grant said it was case Of white
slavery, and that such brutality was
unheard of in a civilized country The
child's growth has been dwarfed by the
cruelties. The filth on her was terrible

IxDIANAPoLIs, IND, Nov. S0.-The To-
calities in Hendricks, Morgan, Putnam
and other counties where the grave
stones of Union soldiers were painted
red continue in ferment OF excite
ment. The investigating board insti-
tuted at Martinsville to discover and
punish the perpetrators of the work
has been strengthened by the addition
of H. A. Phelps, awell known attorney,
who was largely instrumental in the
suppression OF the Knights OF tho
Golden Circle during the war.
Heretofore tho court has had no Re-
publican representative. Mr.. Phelps
appointment, from the fact that he has
been connected with the Morgan
county bar for over twenty-five years,
and is acquainted with almost every
man in the county, adds confidence to
the investigation, and when the grand
Jury meets it is confidently stated that
evidence will have been secured to war
rant number OF indictments.
Tho Grand Army posts IN the terri
tory affected are assisting in the work
of investigation. The sentiment that
exists not only among the old soldiers
but among the people generally is re-
fected in the resolutions adopted by
Blankenship post of Martinsville last
night:
We demand that the perpetrators OF
this shameful outrage. the authors OF
this cruel conspiracy, whoever they
may be, be brought to answer for their
crimes, and we pledge the grand army
and every loyal union soldier in every
efficient way in enforcing and vindicat-
ing the law, in avenginR the honor OF
our dead comrades and in hunting
down the dastardly perpetrators, effect
ing their arrest and bringing them to
sure punishment. To this end be it.
Resolred, That committee OF three
discreet comrades OF the post be ap-
pointed to aid the legal authorities in
investigating this alleged desecration,
and that they be authorized to take
such steps and adopt such measures as
in their judgment will make their work
most etTectual, and result in their early
apprehension and certain punishment
OF the guilty parties.

A BANK CLOSES


On Account of Kun-LnOorins Mon VIII
bo tho Greatest Sufferers.
JOLIET, ILL.,, Nov. 30.-The Stone City
Bank, private institution, suspended
payment to-day on account OF a run
caused by the shutting down OF the En-
terprise company, one of tho depart
ments of the big wire fence industry.
The bank is operated by II. Fish & Sons,
and was thought to be one OF the sound
est financial institutions in the state.
The failure is heavy one.
The trouble began with the Enter
Tor SlS4,175, and filing trust deed to
Mrs. G. A. Miller for $lS6,Sl3. The Fish
brothers, sons OF Henry Fish, with f.
II. Ginnell, were the proprietors OF the
Enterprise company, and the suspension
OF the bank of which they were in con-
troll soon followed. The deed to Mrs.
Miller, who is very wealthy woman,
is for money borrowed to carry on the
business. She is m aunt OF the Fish's
who are also related to Mrs. John A.
Logan. It is estimated that nothing
less than 100000 will settle the firms
affairs.
The officials started in this morning
to pay the demands OF the depositors,
but the cash became exhausted and the
doors closed. Many of the business
houses OF Joliet kept their accounts at
the bank and its suspension will result
in great embarrassment to them. The
greatest sufferers, however, will be the
laboring men.
It is now believed the banks con-
dition is beyond resusitation, but only
its assets are temporarily locked up,
ond there is every prospect that its
affairs will be Strengthened out speedily.
It's deposits range from 100000 to
S5OO,oO0.
As for the mill it is not believed that
there is any possibility for its resump-
tien. 1t employed between 400 and 800
people, many OF whom have worked in
it for years. There was tremendous ex-
citement when these men found out
that there was no work for them to-day.
They stood around bewildered, but
when the news OF the banks closing
reached them riot was imminent.
Quieter counsel prevailed, however,
and after time the excited crowd had
dispersed.

COMMISSIONER RAUM's REPORT,
Tho Record of the Department During tho
Present Administration.

| Present Administration.
WAsuINGToN, D. O., Nov. 30.-Thc
annua report OF Mr.. Green 3. Raum,
commissioner of pensions, made public
to-day, shows that there were on the
pension rolls June So 1892, 76,06S pen
sioners, an increase during tho year OF
l99,9OS. There were added to the rolls
during the year 222, ,9S7 new pensioners,
and 2,477 pensioners previously drop
ped were restored to the pension lists.
During the year 25,SS6 persons were,
dropped from the rolls. The total
amount expended for pensions during
the rear was SlS0,645,6l2
For the present fiscal year Sl4i,056,-
900 is appropriated, and taking the cost
OF the pensions allowed during thetirst
four months OF this fiscal year as n
basis, the commissioner estimates that
deficiency appropriation OF $lO,656,-
62l will be necessary to supplement this
appropriation.
mitted for the next fiscal year, but COM
missioner Raum says that ii as many
allowances OF pensions shall be made
during the fiscal year to come as during
| the fiscal year ended June so last, this
amount will not be large enough. He
saws, however, that it is difficult to fore
cast pension payments so far in ad-
vance, and that as Congress will be in
| session no embarrassments will arise If
his successor in the light OF actual cost
of the work for the first six months OF
the next fiscal year finds that further
appropriation will be needed.
During the past fiscal year %, ,047 GER
titicates were issued to original cases,
and 1871 in increase claims. There
are 440,S7 original claims pending, OF
which number 100000 are apparently
complete.
1t is important both for the claimants
and the government to dispose OF the
original cases rs soon rs possible, as
first payments date from the filing OF
declarings, and are at the average rate
OF Sl1a month.
At the close OF the fiscal year there
was n balance on hand from the appro-
priations for pensions OF s., ,2S9,7l4 and
a deficiency in the appropriation for
payment OF fees and expense OF examin-
ing surgeons of SS05, 900.
Mr.. Raum closes with q comparative
statement OF the work done under the
Cleveland and Harrison administra-
tions. He says; "The total number Of
original certificates issued from March
4, 1859, to October 81, 1892, was 520,5G5,
and the total number OF pension certi-
ficates OF all classes issued during said
period was SS5,04S, while dur
Ing the period from March
4. 1885, to October 81, 1885,
the number of original certificates
issued was lS5, ,7G9, and the total num-
ber OF certificates issued during that
period was 402,3S5, being an excess OF
original certificates issued during the
period OF your administration oil 1884,.
796, and an aggregate excess OF all
classes OF certificates OF 4S2,66S."
The average cost to the government
of each certificate granted during the
Cleveland administration, the commits
siorer says, was SCI 50, and during the
present administration $40 Al.

dulged in informal speculation as to the
number OF heresy trials that would fol-
low in case this one ended in conyic-
ton.
The prosecuting committee by direc-
ton OF the court began to introduce tes-
tlmony in support OF the first charge.
They read two articles written by Prof.
Smith and published in the New York
EUdngslist in March and April last, in
which he discussed ordination VOWS and
freedom OF American ministers lie de-
clarcs therein tho absurdity Of expect.
ing an entire conformity Of views
among ministers. and says it would be
simply impossible for every minister to
conform even to the views OF n majority
OF the general assembly. Speaking OF
the suggestion that il one finds himself
unable TO conform to the views OF tho
majority he should seek some other
church. He argues in the articles read
that there is no iron clad standard OF
belief covering all questions in the the
ology, TO which minister is bound to
subscribe in order to justify him in con-
tinuing the work to which he feels he
has been called. Tho testimony on the
first charge has not all been presented.
Prof. Smith admitted that he wrote
the articles cited from tho EU1ngelisl,
aud said he had no testimony to offer
in defense. DR.. Lowe, OF the prosecu-
tion, urged him to offer something by
way OF disayowal OF what the COM
mittee had charged that his articles
taught, but the defendant stood on his
rights and said he preferred to disprove
the committees charge, not to disavow
or to give an Interpretation. He held
that the committees Interpretation OF
his language was not warranted.
The closing argument was made by
DR.. McKibbin, OF the prosecuting COM
mittce. He was careful to say that the
question was simply whether from the
testimony adduced by the committee,
sustained its Interpretation oil what
Prof. Smith has taught. His argument
followed closely the language OF the
article to sustain the committees posi-
ton, namely, that Prof Smith taught
that minister may abandon essential
features Uf doctrine OF the church and
still rightiully maintain his position.
He closed with again calling attention
to tie question to be decided-not what
Prof. Smith holds or believes, but what
is fair Interpretation of his teachings
in the articles cited. Adjourned till to-
morrow.

hear witnesses on any side OF the ques-

1t is understood that the committee
take, as the nearest approaching accur-
acy, the statistics prepared by Ottoman
Haupt especially for the use of the con-
ference, giving estimates compiled from
the latest data oil the monetary stocks
OF the world and the annual production
Of gold and silver. Tho members OF the

ings must be kept completely private
until definite decisions are attained.
They will not communicate to the dele

ELMIRA, N. Y, Nov. SO.-0ne OF the
most terrible railroad crossing accidents
that has occurred here in years took
place at the Pennsylvania avenue cross
ing of the Eric in the Fifth ward at
11:05 tonight.
Five persons were returning to their
homes in the town OF Southport from
the city in wagon. They were Will
lam Conklin and wife, Edward Blanch-
ard and wife and Mrs. Maggie Pitts.
The crossing is a dangerous one.
The wagon was struck by the Erie YES
tibuled train No. 5, running at high
rate OF speed. AS it drew into the sta
ton the locomotive bore on its pilot the
ghastly burden of three crushed and
mangled bodies. They were those OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Blanchard and Mrs.
Conklin.
The wagon was scattered alonGin bits,
some of it dropping off at Water street
crossing on the north side of Chemung
river. The body OF Mrs. Pitts and the
mangled form OF VIM. Conklin, still
alive, were picked up about one hun
dred yards from the crossing.
