AMUSEMENTS. English's—“Monbarn.” Robert Mantell’s revival of the old French romantic play, “Monbars,” at English’s, last night, was a decided success. In addition to the Important adjuncts of a fine stage-sotting and an appreciative audience, Mr. Mantell was fortunate in being surrounded by a capable company. Miss Riccardo as Diane, his new leading woman; Miss Marie Russell as Madame Mouton, the life-long, unswerving friend of Diane; Mr. Beverly Turner as Laurent, the villain, who sought to kill Monbars and secure his fortune for his son, and Miss Moulton as Madame Laurent, all ably assisted Mr. Mantell in bringing out the dramatic and tragic situations of this play, the scene of which is laid in France in the stirring times of the latter part of the last century. Miss Rlccardo’s acting was an agreeable surprise. At times she caused a breathless stillness by the exquisite realism of her sympathetic art in portraying the character of a pure woman unjustly accused of crime. Miss Riccardo is admirably adapted, both as to face and form, to play the role of the loving, trusting, wronged girl, ignorant of the evil in tne world. Mr. Mantell added to his reputation among the ladies by his skillful presentation of the difficult character of a man who has unwittingly married a woman who loved and should have been the wife of another. Monbars, obtaining his wife through befriending her father, would, in another play and handled in a different manner, have been a villain and received hisses and condemnation. Drawn by a clever playwright and portrayed by a master of romantic acting, he became a character that won the applause of the audience, evidenced by two long-continued curtain calls. David P. Ward, who took the part of Louis de Meran, should pump more force into his iines. Some of the minor characters were in able hands, among them Mouton, played by James L. Carhart; the Marquis de Noirmont, by Tileston Bryce, and Dr. Daniel, by Arthur Maitland. On account of the nonarrival of scenery for “The Secret Warrant.” Mr. Mantell has been obliged to substitute "Monbars” In place of “A Secret Warrant” at the matinee this afternoon. The engagement will close with a presentation of “The Face in the Moonlight” this evening. Hanlons’ “Superba," coming to the Grand next week, is at Buffalo this week, where it opened its season last Monday at the Lyceum Theater. The big production will arrive here on Suriday, and the stage of the Grand is being prepared for its coming. A clear stage is needed for “Superba,” as everything is carried by the Hanlons, and all possible room is utilized for the immense amount of paraphernalia necessary in their wonderful pantomime. The antics of Charles Gayer, the famous Pierrot in “Superba,’ are said to be more amusing than ever.* In one place during the production he finds himself on a big cake or ice, high above the stage, where the numerous Arctic explorers pass in review before him. This procession does not bother Pierrot in the lea.st, for he coolly takes his place among them and soon demonstrates his ability to discover the north pole. Another difficulty he extracts himself from occurs in a bathroom, where he has fun with a tub, which eventually floats out upon the wide ocean. He tries to gain a lighthouse, which recedes as he gets near it. and finally he is swallowed by a whale, but soon cuts himself a window in its side and escapes. Then there Is the bathing beach scene, the shadow pantomime, where Pierrot destroys the Spaniards, and numerous other mystifying effects. There are said to be half a dozen beautiful ballets In the spectacle this season and as many new specialties. Matinees will bo given Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at popular prices. The ‘‘Shenandoah’’ Company, that will be At English's all next week, carries many of its own horses to be used in the cavalry charge, together with cavalrymen, a battery t-f artillery, a life and drum corps to lead the infantry companies, in addition to several carloads of special scenery for the spectacular presentation of the batt’e *'onet*. This organization which Jacob Litt has sent out is known to be one of the big companies on the road this season, and it comes to Indianapolis at an especially appropriate season. To-day’s two performances terminate the engagement of the “Morning Glories,” at the Empire. The management of the City CTlub. which will be the next week's entertainment. promises new faces and figures In the chorus and olio, though a number of old favorites are retained. The fair week attraction at the Park is ‘‘Tennessee’s Pardner.” which left a splendid impression here last spring. “Human Hearts ’ closes its engagement with two performances to-day.

TEXARKANA. Ark.. Sept. 9.—Texarkana is in great alarm over the great number of Idle negroes who throng the town and th* citizens are organizing vigilance committees for the protection of their property.

Cass, Red River, Hopkins and other counties in the cotton districts of north Texas, whence thousands of negroe* have fled on account of notices being posted and in tome cases violence being used tc run them out. These negroes, being run out of the cotton fields, have sought refuge in the towns and Texarkana has been the refuge of a large number. A trustworthy colored man from Titus county says that while a number of his race were at work in a field a mob of White Caps concealed ii: a fence corner opened fire on them.

fl MYSTERIOUS MURDER STARTLED THE CITIZENS OF SHELBY VILLE YESTERDAY. Inventor Mcknm in More Trouble— Methodist* Invent ianting Ministers—lndiana Happenings. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHBLBYVILLE, Ind., Sept. 9.—An unknown man was killed here this afternoon at the footbridge across Little Blue, just cast of this city, and the stories of the shooting as gathered by the police are conflicting. Last Saturday a young man about twenty-two years old came here to work at the fair grounds. He gave his name to some as Harry Thompson and to others as Thomas Hawthorne, in all cases claiming to live in Chicago. This afternoon, in company with Mace Gray, Robert McClain and Harry Wermer, he started to the fair grounds. When they reached the footbridge three men, Thomas and George Cuskaden and Will Reed assaulted them and in the fight Hawthorne was shot through the head just below the right ear, dying instantly. Gray’s story is that McClain, Wermer and himself were on their way to the fair, when Hawthorne, who was a stranger to him, joined them. When the trouble started Hawthorne, who, he says, had taken no part in the difficulty, stepped in front of the pistol in time to get the bullet intended for himself. After a search lasting several hours Cuskaden was arrested, but was later released on SI,OOO bond. He claims the Gray crowd attempted to rob him and that they did get his watch. A Miss Mefford was within a few feet when the shot was fired and described the man who did it as a tall man wearing a dark coat and hat. CusKaden, when arrested wore a checkered coat and a straw hat with a black band. He claims he did not do the snooting, but that the revolver was fired over his shoulder. Thousands of persons have viewed the body at the Wilson morgue, but no one has been able to Identify him. In the dead man’s pocket was found a letter written to his sister, but it contained neither address nor signature. Gray, McClain and W T ermer have always borne good reputations here and the other men are also favorably known throughout the county, being nephews of ex-County Commissioner George Cuskaden, of this city.

R. G. Hammond, of Whitestown, who, it is reported, contracted debts without any expectation of making payment and in various other ways has shown a tendency to dishonesty.

Wood were appointed as counsel for the defense, and Dr. R. D. Utter and Rev. Dunkleberger as counsel for the prosecution.

Lognnnport Inventor Has Accuser Who Suy* He Hu* Been Duped. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANSFORT, Ind., Sept. 9.-The Ohio people who caused the arrest of S. B. Nickurn, the inventor of the so-called perpetual light, are not, it seems, the only ones who are getting anxious about thefr investment, for to-day \V. W. Purrington, of Lancaster, Wis., arrived in the city and at once sought a cc sultation with United States Commissioner George W, Funk. Purrington came to Logansport awheel, having ridden the entire distance from hts Wisconsin home cn his bicycle, sleeping en route in strawstacks, haylofts or by the roadside. He is a man of limited means, about all he is possessed of now being invested in Nickum lights, which he has never received. He says that some months ago he and a friend gathered together all the money they could command and purchased the right to sell the Nickum lights in Wisconsin territory and also sent money for a supply of the lights. These lights have never been delivered, and in response to their repeated inquiries and demands for the fulfillment of the contract on the part of Nickum the replies have been so evasive and unsatisfactory that a personal investigation was decided on. Neither IPurrington nor his friend had the money necessary to make the trip to this city, so it was decided that Purrington should make the journey awheel and keep his expenses down to the minimum amount. He left Lancaster a week ago and has traveled over three hundred miles. He is a man of about thir-ty-five or forty years and talks with an intelligence and determination that indicates he means business when he says that he intends to have satisfaction out of the inventor of bottled sunshine. * LARGE NEW CASTLE CROWD Tarns Oat to Hear Janie* E.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Sept. 9.—C01. XV. T. Durbin, of the One-hundred-and-sixty-first Regiment, writing under date of Sept. 7 to Daniel Surface, of this city, says: “There are some persons at home sending petitions into the camp to be signed, asking to be mustered out, which are creating some restlessness, and should be discouraged at home. It will not be to the credit of this regiment, not having been in the service yet sixty days, to ask to be mustered out and leave the quota from Indiana to be filled by those regiments whose ranks are depleted by sickness. If some of the candidates for office feel that the necessity for their election to office should overbalance the credit and standing of the State, then their idea of patriotism must be very low. Indiana is usually first in everything. She rtsponded nobly and quickly to every demand made upon her. and her standing at the Nation's capital should not be impaired by, to say the least, the thoughtlessness of some people at home who want office. Furthermore, the men from Indiana enlisted for two years, and not until they got tired and wanted to quit, and it is all wrong for the people at home to write letters and send petitions calculated to make the men restless and homesick. This regiment enlisted to do whatever might be required of it by the government authorities, and we are holding ourselves in readiness to that end. Our labors are light, and there are no hardships placed upon the men calculated to produce illness. We are in far better condition and surroundings than in Camp Mount. OFFICIALS ACT ILLEGALLY. Richmond Contractor to Re Sued by Charleston till.) Authorities. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Sept. 3.—A controversy has arisen between the supervisors of Coles county, Illinois, of which Charleston is the county seat, and A. G. Campfleld, a contractor, of this city. On Aug. 22 Mr. Campfield was awarded the contract by the supervisors for anew courthouse, his bid being about {76.000. which was {II.OOO below the next highest bidder. He deposited a certified check of SI,OOO on the Second National Bank, of this city, as a guarantee that he would carry out the contract If awarded

him. Shortly after he had secured the contract he discovered that the supervisors had not taken a vote of the people as to whether they wanted anew courthouse, according to the law, and they had not made arrangements to issue bonds, but wanted the contractor to take his pay in county orders. For these reasons he refused to carry out the contract, and on the grounds that tho proceedings were illegal, also refused to pay the 11,000 certified check, which the supervisors claim he forfeited. They now threaten to prosecute hira for conspiracy. Purdoc's Xew Football Flayer*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 9.—Purdue’s football team for this season must be built from the ground up, since but three of the old players are probabilities. Bobby Sears, the captain elected in the spring, is among the number to retire. Manager Esterline and Coach Jamison, however, are not disturbed by the difficulties which face them and are confident of getting a creditable team together. Robertson, Johnston and Bauh, of last year’s team, are certainties, and there are dozens of candidates for positions. A big guard from Dartmouth is now here. Slaughter, anew man, is looked upon as an ideal quarter back, and Joe Hall, brother of Herman, the famous end rush, is a promising candidate, while Walfer, "Big” Davis and Wagner are sure of places on the team. For financial reasons a coacher from the East will not be employed, and Alpha Jamison will be used in that position, and the boys have every confidence in his ability. The schedule is not yet complete, but some time this month the season will open with the alumni game. The Thanksgiving game will be with the crack Oberlins. Two games are scheduled with the Indians (not the Carlisles), one of which will be played in Indianapolis, and there will be games with De Pauw, Bloomington and probably Wabash. Purdue will not agree to the terms of Champaign and Michigan, and they will probably not appear. Other probabilities ate for meetings with Stagg’s Chicago University team and the crack Cincinnati College team, but these are not positively announced. Next week the players will begin to arrive. Terre Haute Union* Active. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. 9.—The union labor organizations of Terre Haute have organized a “union label league,” and committees are now visiting the stores of the city to prepare a list of those where unionmade goods can be obtained. It is said the committee found only one pair of unionmade shoes in all the shoe stores visited. The dealers will be asked to handle unionmade shoes, and if they do not comply their stores will be boycotted. In that event the different unions will arrange to have purchasing agents buy shoes in Indianapolis. By the end of this month, about the time the State Federation of Labor meets here, it is expected to make general war on nonunion goods in all stores. The cigar makers haye taaen the initiative by imposing a fine of $2 on any member who buys or uses a nonunion-made article of any kind. The state officers of the Street-railway Union have sent word that they will be here soon to organize the employes of the Terre Haute Company, whose organization virtually went to pieces after the contest with Russell Harrison a year or more ago. Cut Hl* Throat While Deranged. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., Sept. 9.—Argidius Schub, thirty-two, after cutting his throat with a razor in his boarding house here to-night, walked down stairs among the other occupants of the house with his windpipe completely severed, frightening the women nearly into hysterics.

J., where he owns a farm and other property. The man’s mind became deranged from overwork during the recent hot weather, and he imagined every person he met was talking disrespectfully about him or his wife. He was taken to the hospital and may survive. The deed was committed just after he had addressed a letter to his wife. The missive however, did not show that the act was premeditated.

He completed his work last night and at midnight left the saloon to go to his hotel. Being a stranger he started in the wrong direction and was held up by two footpads, who knocked him down, kicked him brutally and then threw him into a stable lot in an unconscious condition, where he remained for three hours. When he left the saloon he had $1.40 in his pocket and when he regained consciousness he had only 5 cents left.

This completes the personnel of the commission, which stands: Secretary Day, Senators Davis, Frye and Gray and Hon. Whitelaw Reid. In selecting Senator Gray the President has given Democratic representation on the commission.

The position was ottered to the senator several time was declined. The President, however, further urged Mr. Gray to accept, and his final agreement was secured to-day. Senator Gray is one of the best known men in public life having been a prominent figure in the Senate for the last twelve years. He was born at New Castle, Del., in 1840, and was graduated at Princeton. He served as attorney general of Delaware. and later was appointed to the Senate when Thomas F. Bayard entered the first Cleveland Cabinet as secretary of state. Mr. Gray has been in the Senate since then, serving with distinction, being one of the recognized forces in debate and in the shaping of im§ortant legislation. He is a member of the enate committee on foreign relations, thus making three members of that committee —Davis, Frye and Gray—on the peace commission. On foreign questions Mr. Gray has generally been regarded as opposed to expansion, his Senate votes having been against the annexation of Hawaii. Now that the commission is complete it is expected that the American case will be made up, and the commission given its final instructions. The commissioners will meet 1" ere about the 15th inst., prior to sailing for Paris, at which time they will meet the President and he made aware in a general way of the views of the administration Acting Secretary Moore was called to the White House wniie the Cabinet met and the appointment of Senator Gray was then announced.

Penwell, president of the Penwell Mining Company, gave notice to-day that he would open his mine Monday, but would pay only 25 cents a ton, the price the nonunion negroes are being paid at the Springside mine. Said he: “I prefer white miners if they will desert the union; otherwise I must operate the mine with negroes and foreign labor.” The miners say they will not accept hi* offer and will not work under the scale of 33 cents, neither will they desert the union. This means the importation of several hundred additional negroes and the retention of two hundred deputies to guard them. Capt. D. H. Harts, the controlling stockholder in the Pana Mining Company, to-day said: • tv e Pana operators are opposed to the union as a national body dictating to us how we should run our business, and we propose, unless they will accept our terms, to put in negroes.” The captain virtually admitted that the object of the Pana operators is to break the union. President Craven, of the miners’ union, to-day said: "The miners will never accept the Penwell offer, as the result would be a general dissolution of the union, just what the operators have all the time been busy working for and would provoke trouble between the miners and operators of not only Illinois. but Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, for the operators would be compelled to cut wages in order to meet the competition of the four big Pana mines.” He added: "This is a question of life and death to the miners’ union organization, and we will fight it out on this line if it takes air winter.” National Vice President John Mitchell, of Spring Valley, and State Secretary and Treasurer Ryan, of Braldwood, who arrived to-day, indorsed President Craven’s attitude. Mitchell and r.yan go from here to Indianapolis to attend a m- eting of the executive board of the United Mine Workers Monday. A mammoth stockade and quarters for imported negroes has been completed at the Penwell colliery. Movement* of Steamer*. LIVERPOOL. Sept. 9.—Arrived: Cymbrta. and Lucanla, from New York. SOUTHAMPTON.
