AT the Metropolitan Theater on the
9th and 9th instant the brilliant New
York Casino success, AN American
Beauty, presented by the popular mag
netic Corinne and her famous opera
comique company. This, we are told.
IS one of those light, effervescent and
entertaining operas so popular at the
present day. 1t enlists the efforts of six
jolly comedians, as many dashing SOU
brettes, several beautiful dancers, an
ensemble yocaliy unsurpassed, numeri-
cally large and containing many charm
ing forms and faces in it's female mem
bers. The costuming is of the richest
description, the scenery new and fine
and the electrical effects very beautiful.
An American Beauty was written by
Gustave Kerker and Hugh Morton of
the New York Casino, who have fur
nished the successful form of entertain
ment in vogue at that popular metropol-
itan place Of amusement for the past
two years. I'm Gay New York." ''The
Whirl of the Town." now running in
its sixth month and the incoming new

Jacob Lifts In Old Kentucky Com
pany had a large audience last night at
the Metropolitan Theater. In the up
per section standing room was at a
premium. The play was presented as
when given here before, and just as eff
fectively on the whole, though the old
troupe was stronger in two character
izations. But the difference in the
strength of the troupes is very slight.
The picturesque scenery of the first
act, the race course scene with all the
excitement of a jockey race, and the
plantation frolic scene with the pick
aninny brass band and the Jig and
wing and buck dancers, were princi-
pal features. The company is a very
large one and had the favor and warm
applause of the audience

MURDER BY FLAME.
Terrible Ending of Family Quarrel
at Canton, o,

Canton, o.. Oct. 1l.-Residents of the
tenderloin district at daylight yester-
day morning heard screams and saw u
column of flames In the rear yard of
the home of William Depeyster. On in
vestigation Mrs. Depeyster was found
with her clothing on fire. and before
aid could be rendered she was dead.
The kitchen Of the house was covered
with oil spots and fragments Of broken
lamp were found in the house and
yard. Depeyster would give no explana-
tion of what had occurred. and was
placed under arrest on suspicion Of
murder.
Neighbors say he and his wife had
been quarreing all night. Maggie
Greathouse, who was on the second
floor Of the building all night, was taken
into custody by the officers as wit
ness. She could throw no light on the
case beyond the starting of the quar-
rel shortly after midnight. She tells of
a former attempt Depeyster made to
kill his wife several months ago. She
says that after protracted quarrel be-
tween Depeyster and his wife she went
to their room in answer to a call for
help and found Mrs. Depeysters night
robe on fire and saturated with oil,
which Depeyster had poured over her
after breaking the lamp. lie had ig-
nitcd the garment. The two women
fought him off and extinguished the
flames.
Some of the officers believe that the
plan described by the Greathouse wo-
man on a former occasion was the one
which caused the death yesterday.

MAMMOTH LAND SWINDLERS.
Over 2,OOO.OOO Acres Recorded In a

Over 2,OOO.OOO Acres Recorded In a
County OF 6OO, 900 Acres.
Wheeling, w. Va. Oct. 11.--What Is
believed to be land swindle similar to
that which has been worked In some
western states is being operated by
some parties outside Of the state. III
West Virginia there are enormous
tracts of undeveloped timber and coal
lands lying in the interior. A dispatch
from Mcdowell county, lying in the
extreme southern portion Of the state.
says that inside the last two months
deeds which are believed to be fraudu-
lent have been admitted to record there
purporting to convey several thousand
acres Of valuable coal land for consid-
erations aggregating several hundred
Thousand dollars. There are now over
1000. .0C0 acres on the land books, while
the county only contains about 100000
acres, all told.
The scheme has been worked by the
same parties for some time. A deed is
prepared for Il large tract of coal land
in, the county. and it is acknowledged
before some fictitious notary public in
faraWay state. 1t is then sent to
Mcdowell county to be recorded. and
have the clerk Of the county court for
ward the operators certified copies Of
the deed from the record. This places
them in a position to dispose of the
pretended titles for a good price to un-
suSpecting parties.
1t is not unusual for n stranger to
turn up at Wclch. which is the county
seat of Mcdowell county, with n deed
for several thousand acres of land,
which is all straight on the record, but
when he comes to look for the land he
cannot find 1t. Efforts are being made
to ascertain the identity Of the oper-
