The Kedimth Concert Company. English's Opera House was packed last night at the performance given by the Redpath Grand Concert Company. Thi performers aro all artists In their various lines, and Mrs. Genevra Johnston Bishop showed her prima donna rank. The first number was a piano solo by Mr. Von Scarpa, fhe selection being Liszt's rhapsodie No. 2. The audience showed Its thorough appreciation. Mrs. Clara Murray won much favor on the harp, playing Godefroid's "Fantasie Triomphale." The applause was so continuous that the performer was obliged to give a second selection. Mrs. Hishop executed an aria from the opera "Gabrlella," by Plzzl, in a thoroughly arti3tic manner. Being recalled, she sang a lullaby that added muCii to her reputation. Her vocalization was perfect. Miss Powell, an Indianapolis favorite, on the violin, was given a hearty welcome, and her playing of the difficult 'Souvenir cU;v Moscow," by Wienlawski, was a finished performance. She, too, won a storm of ap-l-lause. and responded with a second selection of lighter composition. Acme of Stuue Realism. In the latest dramatic success of the season. "The Heart of Maryland," at the Herald-square Theater, writes a New York World man, the leang female role not only calls for great histrionic ability and Intensity, but the exercise of an amount of physical strength and gymnastic skill that would tax the endurance of even a trained athlete. To Mrs. Leslie Carter, who plays Maryland Calvert, belongs the unusual distinction of being generally acclaimed a hnifhed actress in this, the third role she has assumed during her stage career. The most dramatic scene in "The Heart of Maryland" occurs in the third act, and Is based on the familiar poem of "Curfew Musi Not Ring To-night." The hero has escaped from an old church, where he was held a captive by the Confederates, and the provost-sergeant gives orders to toll the church bells to notify the pickets of the escape. Ths heroine rushes up the winding' stairs of the bflfry. and. Just aa the gTeat bell has tolled oact, she grasps its brazen hami.ier a.id sw.ngs out over the church below. Tho bell swings furiously as the ringers pull the rcpe. but emits no sound as the tender har.ua of the "brave woman mullle the clapper. It is an extremely effective scene and never fails to arouse the audience to enthusiasm. There have teen many conjecture as to how it was worked, and the belief is general that Mrs. Carter , is fastened to the bell by invisible wires and belts, and Is, therefore, practically in no danger in this trying scene. This lUea Is entirely erroneous, as a reporter found on Investigation. He ascended the thirty-two winding stairs of the mimic belfry last Friday afternoon, and found himseif on a narrow platform, thirtyeight feet above the stage. It seemed none too secure, and was hardly the place anyone would choose from preference for exercise. The side were open, and a single misstep would send a luckless being- tumbling below. Above hung the great bell of papier mache, with a wooden bar projecting eight Inches on either side of the tongue. There were no wires, no belts, no clasps for the wrists, and no artificial supports of any kind. The reporter took hold of the clapper and hung suspended for a moment. Thti, concluding that swinging at that height would not bo pleasant he released his hold and descended the belfry stairs. liy invitation of Manager Max Elleman tho reporter watched Mrs. Carter still the toll of the bell from the stage. Friday nisht. The powerful scene between the heroine and the drunken Colonel was in progress, culminating in the escape of the prisoner: Then rang out the hoarse tones of (d!l V.'liliams as the provost sergeant: "King the bell:" . Mrs. Carter seized a lantern and sped for th belfry stairs. Then the stage was suddenly darkened whi'.e the stage hands shifted the scene to the tall belfry tower. In the darkness a panting female figure ran swiftly by the reporter and crouched at the foot of the belfry stairs. The change was completed and the rays of the calciums fell upon the bell tower as Mrs. Carter began the rapid ascent. Climbing swiftly, now In full view of the audience, he reached the first landing and tossed her lantern to the ground. Upward she tolled, reaching the top breathless, but triumphant. Up shot the powerful, shapely white arms, and the muscular, white hands took firm hold of the cros3bar on the tongue Just as the bell clanged. Then four muscular men on the stage tugged at a rope and the great bell rolled and rolled, as the breathless woman clung by main strength to the small bar. Far out over the tower and back again, and out over the ether Jde she was swung, while the audWr.ce sat breathless. To loosen her hold for the fraction of a second meant Instant death or maiminar for life for the adventurous woman. The swinging continued as the curtain descended In a storm of applaure. Then the bell ceased to swing, Mrs. Carter loosened -her . hol-X and dropped trembling to the landir. and then mad her way quickly down the narpjw stairs. When fhe reached the itage the actress was hysterical from the nervous strain and the fatigue. Her breath came in quick gasp and sh was unable to talk and -hardly able to walk. Half dated, she was taken before the curtain twice by Maurtco Uarrymore. Then,

Since Mr. Crane first produced "The Senator" hundreds of plays have passed into oblivion never to be resurrected. "The Senator," however, is Just as welcome to-day as It was during the first days that it was staged. So matter where Mr. Crane goes and no matter how successful the play he is presenting, there, is always a demand that he give at least one performance of "The Senator." Mr. Crane is to revive the play at the Grand Opera House to-night, when he will onc3 more be seen as Senator Hannibal Rivers. This afternoon he will play "His Wife's. Father." Lovers of German drama and students of the German language should embrace the opportunity of seeing Schiller's great drama; "Wilhelm Tell," at English's tonight. The play is a German classic, and the company which, .will present it Is a strong one. A. L, Sutherland, In advance of the Camllle D'Arville Opera Company, arrived In the city last evening.

Kx-Senator IveIloK Has Some Reminiscences of the Famons Convention. Washington Correspondence Chicago Post. Ex-Senator William Pitt Kellogg is always interesting when discussing public men and the great political events of recunt years, because he knows the men personally and has participated as a delegate in the last five Republican national conventions, as leader, of the Louisiana delegation. Drawn into a discussion of the 1&0 convention by a running fire of comment on some of the passages in Senator Sherman's book. Senator Kellogg told what he knew- about the part Garfield took; 'and in, the course of the conversation he said: "Garfield sat in his seat in the convention white and Seemingly distressed when he was nominated. 1 do not know whether he was a party to the movement to have himself nominated, but everybody else seemed to know all about the movement and a great many foresaw his nomination. The vork had been going on a week before the convention met. One of the first men I met when I reached Chicago that year was an' Ohio delegate of the name of Sheldon, who had formerly been a member of Congress from Louisiana. He had been put on the delegation as a Sherman man. When I saw him the first time he was hard at work for Garfield, and he worked industriously among Southern delegates proselyting for Garfield. The day the convention met I saw Sheldon and he told me that Garfield was as good as nominated. Afterward the men who were arranging tho break were buzzing around Garfield and running here and there. But I don't say that he actually knew what was going on. It was one of these cases where a man situated as he was wouldn't .want to know too much." "Could Mr. -Shernan have been nominated 'f Garfield's name had not been used?" was asked. "Oh. yes." replied Senator Kellogg, "there Is very little doubt that ho would have been nominated. Sherman was very blttsr about his defeat, and when the President named Sheldon to be Governor of New Mexico Sherman held up the nomination a long time. One day I asked him to allow it to be confirmed. 'Don't ycu think you have punished Sheldon enough?' I asked. 'You known Just as well as I do that that man was a traitor.' said Mr. Sherman. 'He could not have been elected delegate if he had not been under pledge to vote for me. And you know he was working for Garfield all the time.' "I talked with him a little longer and finally he said: 'Well. I am going to a dinner to-nUht and I will not be at the executive session. If you want to do anything with Sheldon's nomination I will not be present to object.' I called up the Sheldon nomination that day and it was confirmed. Sheldon is living in Los Angeles, Cal., and a Senator who saw him not long ago told me he heard the whole story from his lips." A Great Man's Son. Mayor -Hardy's Letter. . We hear moro or less about the sons of Abraham Lincoln and U. S. Grant, but how few peoplo know that the son of Stephen A. Douglas is in the land of the living? Stephen A. Douglas. Jr.. now a man of middle nge, is a practicing attorney in Chicago. He Is a thorough-going Republican, but has never had much luck in politics. He has the stature of the "Little Giant." his honored father, but is hampered by excessive corpulency. The only office that he has held: to my knowledge is that of Assistant State's Attorney. On the stump he is very effective, but too indolent in habit to get around much. I observe that in an Interview the other day Mr. Douglas expressed his admiration of Governor Altgeld, of Illinois. He said: "Although I believe he will be defeated for re-election, he Is 20.000 votes stronger than anv other Democrat in Illinois. If nominated on a third party platform by the labor unions next year, he would be a most formidable candidate." Mr. Douglas is oft In his reckoning. Thank heaven. Governor Altgeld carmot aspire to the presidency, for the reason that he is a native of Prussia, and, therefore, ineligible.

MR. GILLESPIE'S TURN

SO DADLY HAZED II Y BACHELORS' CLUD THAT HE FAIXTED. One of the Ilndnut Hominy, 31111s Darned, nt Terre Haute TinPlate Strikers- Disciplined. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., Nov. 5. From time Immemorial there has flourished In this city & "Bachelor's Club," anl one of Its principal features has always been the "basing" it visited upon recreant members who break Its rules and get married. Last night. A. H. Gillespie, a prominent merchant, who has belonged to the club a number of years, and has assisted at numerous "hazlngs of fellow-members, was given a hazing by his fellcw-members. He was married last week, and was promptly arrested and bound over for trial before the august tribunal of the club in tho sum of JlO.uOO, the trial being set for last nlgbt. He was seized late yesterday evening, handcuffed and placed In a queensware crate like a lion's cage and hauled along the main streets of the city, followed by several hundred men and boys, and headed by a band of forty instruments. All members of the club were in line, and the "iinimftl cage" In which Gillesnie was confined was attended by the officers of the club, who looked after his comfort. He was then taken to the "court" and sentenced to take the "Orient" degree, and was at once conducted to headquarters. When the crowd arrived there no one but princes of the Orient were admitted to the room, and the victim commenced "taking the degree." The ordeal proved too great for him; he was overcome by the "shock" and became unconscious, in which condition he was taken home. The unfortunate occurrence threw a damper on the fun, and it came suddenly to an end. Gillespie is all right this morning, and does not feel much the worse for -the hazing. He has fcelnd to "rp" othr victims, and says he has no "kick" coming. SEW ALBANY LAWSUITS. Three Cnnes In Which Prominent People Are Interested. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Nov. 5.-Early this morning one of the Hudnut hominy mills was destroyed by fire, causing a loss of nearly twenty-five thousand dollars, fully covered by insurance. The origin was In the flying of sparks from the .smokestack on the roof. The firemen were burning corncobs and made large sparks. The Interior of the mill, with some goods, is a total loss, the machinery being wrecked beyond salvage. The mill was running night and day at full capacity of 6,Xw bushels, and the loss of time will be felt by the company almost as much as the loss by the destruction of property. The mill will be rebuilt at once and will be ready for operation again inside of ninety days. The product of the mill has varied from hominy to the basis of several food articles. The insurance on the property was placed as follows: Phoenix, of Brooklyn, $5,000; North America, of PhiUdelphla, tt.OQO; Continental, $2,000; Underwriter's, $3,000; Pennsylvania Fire, $2,500; British American, !,500; Hartford. $1,000: Franklin. $1,000; Lancashire, $1,500; New York Underwriters.

Strike of Trench Dlfccers Averted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RUSHVILL"E, Ind., Nov. 5.-From 7 to 9 o'clock this morn!ng the citizens of Itushville were In a fever of excitement. The only strike the town had ever experienced was on, and the strikers were threatening to become ugly If their demands weie not satisfied. Work on the diggings for the water mains began yesterday. No definite scale of wages had been agreed upon between the subcontractor, Colonel Walling-, ford, and the workmen, but the forme? made assurances that he would act fairly" by his men. This morning he announced tftat he would pay but 3 cents per foot for the digging. The 125 men in the trenches at once laid down their picks and shovels. Under the proposed schedule the men would have made from 30 to 60 cents per day. The strikers held a mass meeting in the street and were addressed by their leaders. It was unanimously decided to not work for less than 15 cents per hour; that armed resistance be made against any effort to introduce foreign labor, and If their demands were not granted Inside of an hour they proceed to refill the trenches, and that none of their number in any way all or assist tho contractor in securing other help. Members of the City Council, business men and Influential citizens waited on contractor Wallingford, who finally acquiesced in the demands of his men and the latter again returned to work. They have organized to resist any attempt to introduce outside labor. Eluood'i Tln-PInle Strike. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., Nov. 5. The strike among tho employes of the cold-roll department of the tin-plate factory resulted to-day in newmen being put In the strikers' places, as no agreement between the company and the strikers could be reached. The men agreed to go back to work, and some of them did, but the majority failed to go to work, and they are now cut for good. The result of putting green hands to work in the place of skilled ones was shown to-day, when all that portion of the plant wnlch precedes the cold-roll department in the preparation of the plate was closed for two weeks, throwing five hundred men out of work for that length of time in order to allow the new men to handle the work that has become piled up - before them and to learn their duties. The men demanded to be paid "by the pot" for what they did instead of by what was turned out by the tinning house, upon which basis all the employes of the factory are paia. Some months this house runs behind several hundred boxes, for which the employes are not paid until next month, and this was a part of their grievance, as 2,300 boxes were left over last manth. The company claims that they cannot arrange it to pay for the "pot," as they have no means of knowing how much is In a "pot," and that the plan now used Is Just to all concerned.
