Terrible Accident i'm st. Louis Thea
frn---ErfphffuI Scene.

The st. Louis papers of Friday record the
following frightful accident which occurred
at the Varieties Theatre the evening pre-
vious:
"M'lle Zagrino, young and beautiful
girl, only eighteen years of age, was going
through her usual trapeze performances,
and had come to that part where she st'nds
on one foot, with the bar in rapid motion,
when she lost her balance. She attcmptCC
to grasp the bar with her hands, but missed
it, and fell headlong upon the floor inside OF
the orchestra railing, striking on her right
hand and breaking her wrist. A deep cash
was also cut in her forehead and her Shout
der was severely bruised. A cry Of horror
arose from the audience as the girl fell, and
men started up in the widest excitement.
Every cheek turned as pale as ashes, and
men and women became as trcmulous as
though stricken with palsy.
"On striking the floor near the bass vloi,
the girl lay still. and it was supposed that
she was dead. Her father. who had been
watching the performance from the stage,
at once came forward, and lcaping into the
orchestra. lifted up the lifeeSs form Of his
daughter and placed her upon the stage.
She was then carried behind the scenes, and
three physicians were sent for. The audi
encc were informed that Mile Zagrino was
only slightly injured. and the snow Went
on-two comic shows being next on the
programme.
"In few minutes the girl revived and
was able to speak. She said she felt no
great pain except in her wrist, and begged
the doctors not to disturb her. No other
bones were broken except at the wrist.
Such were the statements Of the ushcrS,
but the audience were Of opinion that the
injuries were Of i more serious nature, and
considering that the fall was AT unbrokcn
one of twenty-five feet, it would be strange
if severe internal injuries were not the
result.
"In some civilized countries these rcck-
less trapeze performances are prohibited by
law. Why should they be permitted here
We call the attention of the Humane So
cietv,' which meets on saturday night, to
this subject. and suggest that if ii IS wrong

The Frauds in the Sow York Custom
DEMONSTRATING Exposure.

NEW YORK. November 15.--The Tribune
says editorially "The first testimony in the
drawback frauds was taken on SATURDAY.,
and so far opens the ease that the public
can name the principal conspirators.
These frauds have been going on for
five or six years, and the parties in the
work must have robbed the Treasury of a
vast amount Of money. Samuel I. Batch
ford was the leading spirit; his assistants
being r. p. Coldwel & Co., CUSTOM
house brokers'; Romeyn Mulligan: and
Francis A. Howard. clerk in the
Revenue Bureau at Washington. The
most important witness thus far is a
clerk named Korn, who was familiar
with all the transactions, and was an inte-
rested party to some extent. He was ar
rested last January, but not seeing the JUS
tice of suffering alone while the leading Of
tenders went free. he told the whole story
to the district attorney. Several parties
whose names are withheld are under arrest,
and Judge Perrcpoint is determined to silt
the matter Thoroughly. The examination
is adjourned Unit! next friday

Singular Railroad Accidental Train
Ruug into n Closed Tunnel

From the BInghamton Republican, November ..
An accident occurred at the Nineveh tun-
ncl on the Albany and Susquehanna rail-
road, last evening at about G:30 o'clock, re-
sulting in the injury Of the engineer,
brakeman, and two or three passengers.
The particulars are as follows, briefly:
The passenger and freight train which left
Oncon'a = l :4G P. NJ. yesterday arrived at
he tunnel near Ninevch at 6:3J z. M..-after
,l'rrk-and the doors of the tunnel being
closed, the train plunged through. The
doors had not until last evening been closed
at all. They are three inches in thickness
and strongly braced with iron. The object
Of the closing was to prevent freezing in
side.
The effect Of the conclusion was to carry
away the house on the engine; and the en-
rineer, Mr.. II. II. Lewis, was knocked
down almost senseless in the tender, while
4 brakeman named Mulligan was also
knocked down. Lewis's head and Shout
ders were considerably bruised. The Won
der is that he was not Knocked off the train
and under the wheels.
As the train passed by the doors. the win
dows in the passenger car were demolished,
and three or four persons were hurt by the
spintcrs and flying glass. We have not
learned their names. They were not very
badly injured. The engineer did not fully
recover his consciousness until the train
had passed through the tunnel and nearly
to the station on this side.
