Many new applicants ap- peared. Atthe Sumner building, where the Principal colored night school is located, about as many new applicants appeared last night as ou Monday night, so the time of the principal, Mr. Cromwell, was taken up in the work of or- ganiaxtion. About a hundred new applicants appeared last nignt. The scenes about the building were picturesque | and interesting. Many of those who came were gray- bended, and seemed very much in ear est. So ght slates and one or Se te ES FST. Saka nie there were a number of young folks, | the great majority of pupils were more ti Sears old. When’ the erowds thronged in last hight it became apparent that the rule made toexelude all over forty years of age would have to be enioreed. It ‘was thought best, In case ofa crowd, to give the first claim to seats in the School to those under lorly years of age. nile principal Cromweil was going over the list and picking out those over Jorty the other teachers were going on with their classes. In ‘oue rovin there was a line of about twenty per- sons reading in the primer. It was a strange sort of primary class, ‘Some of them had gray bair, some ot them like “Old Unele Ned,” had “no’ wool on the top of his head.” "There were wrinkled faces and wise looking old eyes peering at the book through big spectacles. A diminutive little texcher was Grilling this class in “a-b-abs,” Some of the old pupils had u great deal of difficulty in under- standing how it caine to pass that i-s spelled “is.” When the announcement was made that all over forty years old would be excused, there was considerable cousteruation among the old folks. Some of them suddenly discovered that they had given their ages wrong, and bean to revise the figures. Some were indignant, “What you have day schouls fo’?” said one oid lady. “Dey is fo’ the young folks, "Pears to me. old folks got no chance now-a-days. Dey isn’t let into the day school, and now dey tarn ‘em out of the wight school, “I was doing right well” said one merry iook- ing old woman, “and I'm mighty sorry that I can't stay in scool.

At each of the three white schools about twenty- five new pupils were received. In tne colored schools located at the Sumuer, Cook, and Lin- coin buiidings about four hundred pupils have been enrolled. ———— The Cuban Emancipation. THE LIBERATION OF THE NEGROES IN CUBA CELEBRATED IN THIS CITY. ‘The queen regent of Spain on the 7th of Oc- tober last issued an edict emancipating the two hundred thousund slaves in the Island of Cuba and the Philomathean Literary Association of this elty last evening held a public meeting at Lincoln church, R and 11th streets northwest, in celebration of thatevent, There was a good sized audience present, and the Spanish min- ister, Who had been invited, seut a representa- tive.” Mr. W. Culvin Chase presided, aud after musicai selections by Messrs. Buller and Joba- son, aud a prayer by Kev. G. W. Moore, the edict of emancipation was read by’ Mr. A. S. Richardson, and also a set of resolutions eulo- gizing tue Spanish government, and especially the minister of the colonies, for tueir action in this matter. It was ordered that a copy of the resolutions, together with the oration of Col, Geo. W. Willains, who was uiterwards intro- duced to the audience, should be sent to the Spanish iniuister, for transmission tothe queen Of Spain. Mr. Chase, betore calling upon the orator of the evening, Col. Wiliams, made » brief address bimnseli,’ in which he expressed the hope that the ireedom granted to the s.aves of Cuba would not be a freedom of law, but one iu tact. He then referred to tue condition of the negroes in the south, and claimed that they had veen deprived of their riguts. Col. Wiiliams then made a very carefully Prepared oration, which passed in review the principal events in the history of Spain, tie {utroduction by that power of slavery into’ tue North American continent and the Statistics of Slavery in Cuba. He said that the present emancipation was on the old Roman plan, and provided a system of cuipensation. in 1380 a jaw Was adopted by the Spauist courts provid- ing thutafler that date the owners of slaves should pay thein wages, and that they should continue ip their present employment, ouly receiving pay ior what they aid. In this way both parties were allowed six years to prepare Jor the great cuange brought avout by the com- Picte emancipation, waich bas Just been effected by the queen's edict. In speaking of the plan adopted in, this country to effect the same end, he suid: “The most radical recun- struetionist im America cannot compiain of the character of national iegisiation‘in tavor of the freedom, but everybody knows that in most of the southern states the riguts of tue negro race are not ouly not uecordeu (0 thems but uetually trodden wider the remorseless tron eel of Lourbon despotism.” At the ciose of the ad- dress the assemblage Was dismissed with tne benediction. —-__.

A little overa month ago the mutilated re- mains of Richard Lacock were found floating in Galveston bay, with every indication that a horrible murder hud been committed, but owing to the lack of evidence the suspected 1n- dividual was set free. Tuesday anotuer mur- der, ber ite of the same order, was dis- covered off Pelican island, a small strip of laud across the bay from Galveston, Texas, be Victim in this ease Was ue Jin Phillips, aged about sixty years. For the past twenty years. be bus been variously employed on tue ba; and latterly took charge oi one of Musyrove's sloops. Last Friday he sailed trom Guiveston in the regular course of business, He was alone on bis lite vessel. A fisuerman on Tuesday voarded Phillips’ sloop, which lay at ancnor near the shore, and discovered the body of Phillips, hung by the neck, in the small cavin, in such a position as to preclude any theory of suicide, A subsequent luvestigation, conducted by Justice Spann at the inquest, after the sloop and its ghastly burden were brougut to Galves- ton, leads lo the conciusion that Phillips bad been brutally murdered. There were two hideous wounds oa his head, boui, it Is thought, Iractured the skull, The little cabin and deck were bespatiered with biood, and tue geuerel Jndicatious were that Lhere bad veeu a struggle and tuat tbe bleeding corpse hud been curried below aller Lhe lutal biows bad beeu dealt, In turtuer confirmation of this, a bioody batchet, with which tue woungs bud veen tuflicted, was: found on Lop of the cabin. Upon the body was found an adver.isiug picture card on whic as written “Kirker, you have had all my money and now you inay have my lie, Your wife isa liar und yousthie You sent that card.” A persun familiar with Philips’ writing testified it was not his writing. ‘This slender thread may lead to the apprehension of the criminal. The case is still uuger investigation. aes ee The Eccentricities ot Electricity. From the Denver Repubilcan, Au electric storg got loose out in Oregon the other day und almost frightened to death two aituches of the United Sates geological survey who were sketching the topography of the sur- rounding country irom the summit of a high peak near Dixle Butte. The first inumation they got of anything unusual was a buzzing sound seemingly coming from beneath their drawing table, on which Mr, Walsh was work- ing at tue tine, while, a short distance off under te shadow of @ rock, slept his partner, Mr. ‘Tweedy. In detailing "the huppeuing, w local paper goes on to teil that on putting his band Deneuth the drawing sheet Mr. Tweedy recelved “nm electric shock Whicu sent him staggering buck. The projecting rocks at the sume time gave forta a uumming, inusical sound, and all ol tue surrounding air was evidentiy surcharged with electricity, passing into the mountain peuk through all tue crags and projecting potuts, The ful slumbers of Mr. Tweedy were disturbed at thls time and be jumped vo his eet, bUL wus content to He down quickly, as when they were standing up the eleciric uid entered tuem in such quuutlly as to cause & Jeeling like the pricking of needles, ‘Their balr stoud up like bristles, their muscles twisted, nu Hut Luving a cvatiuct toserveas ligutnling: rods tor that peak, tuey gathered up their Justruments uurriedly and Leut a nasty retreat dowa the mountain's side to the middie fork of the Jobn Day.

More Particulurs of the Alleged Fili- bustering Scheme Against Mexico. A special from Dallas, Texas, to the New York Herald says: It appears that the filibus- tering expedition proposed to invade Mexico and establish a new republic, to be composed of the present states of Chihuabua, Sonora and Durango, is no myth. Two emissaries of the movement arrived in Dallas Wednesday, and under promise not to give any information that might be used against him, one of them has given to your correspondent some points as to the true inwarduess of the daring scheme. ‘He says that this filibustering movetnent was ‘on foot before the Cutting case was heard of, but that in matters of such delicacy it is neces- sary to move slowiy and with great caution, He did not, however, deny that Cutting is now ‘one of the leaders of ‘tue aftair. The executive cummitiee consists of twelve persons, three of whom are located in El Paso, two ure travellug and worklvg up the schemé by secret agents, and of the remainder, some of them, very wealthy men, ure in New York, Ci, gage, Salt Luke Cliy aid the city of Mexico. ‘Turee of the executive commitiee are Roman Catholic priests. One of the latter is now on ils way to Rome to conter with the pope. His holiness, it is said, bas long desired some co: vulsion la Mexico Which might give opportu- nity for the re-estublixhment there of the state chureh, and the couspirators look with great confidence to him for uld. ‘The New York und Chicago capitalists are in the scheme for what they can make. They have faith in its success, and propose 16 get in n the ground floor of the projected uew gov- roment, making & handsome profit on its bonds ad grants of lund and mining privi- leges. eee A CHANCE FOR HENRY GEORGE. The conspiracy has progressed so far that the plan of the new government has been formu- lated. It is to be sociulistic republic, held in check by # strong military power. Great In- dueements are to be offered to the unemployed workinginen ot the United States to emigrate thither, ‘The secret agents say that the pro- posed invasion wit! not necessurily or probably take place from El Paso, but may soon occur at any point on the frontier between Fort Yuma and Brownsville, Cutting, the only man whose personality is publicly Known or suspected In connection with he affair, is receiving a bushel of letters a aay trom all parts of the country. Neurly all these letters tender personal service, and the writers of many of them say they can’ each raise irom ong to, five companies, urmed und equipped. ‘The Yaqui Indians, who have for five yeurs ast held at buy the ‘military power ot Mexico, Rive been approached to become active allies ofthe movement, and their chiefs are eager to take part. Confidential ugents are to be up- pointed in the principal cities of Texas aud throughout the country. Ten thousand men have ‘already been pledged, and tbe leaders of the movement say this number is suificient for the inau_uration of their purpose, tnuugh they could, if hecessary, throw an army of one hun- dred inousand men ucross the Rio Grande. A YOUNG CALIFORNIAN KILLED BY A WRONGED HUSBAND, James T. Noon, a prominent young lawyer of Santa Rosa, Cal., and formerly president ot the land league of San Francisco, was killed last Friday morning, by John Bailiff und Al Reed, two well known citizens, The two men suddenly entered the office of their victim und, apparently without a word of warning, began firing at bim. Noon made desperate resist- unce, closing wiih his murderers, and when people rushed in the three men were found struggling in a heap on the floor of the room, whicu was tull of smoke from the discharges of thelr weapons.

Canada’s Industrial Boom. A COMBINATION OF “COTTON LoKDS” WILL KEAP A RICH HARVEST, A Montreal special to the New York Hvening Post says: “The Cavadian cotton lords ure be- coming as aristocratic as the coal muaguatcs ucross the border.

The girls were terrified and started to run, but the woman in black ‘overtook one of them and bi her until she almost fainted. ‘Tne other girt returned with help just iu time, aod the specter then a red like a flash, Since then the wom: jack bas made her appearance in various par of the elty—mostly In the outskirts and In the early hours of evening. Some of those who have seen her declare that she fired at them, and this having been reported to the police, they ure keeping @ sharp lookout for the noc: turnul disturter. ‘A few evenings ago a workman employed near the Lackawanna Iron and Cual company's blast furnaces ran up to a group of his fellow workuen and reported to them with bated breath and bulging eyes that he had just seen the woman in black, and that she was at that moment hiding in a’ lumber pile a short way froin the bank of Ruaring brook.
