Fearful Storm-Circus Tent Torn
Loose-Cages UPset-Many Per-
Sons Injured.

Fearful Storm-Circus Tent Torn
Goose-Cages Upset-Many Per-
sons Injured.
A correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, thus describes the
effects of storm, which occurred
at Bellville, south of Mansfield, on
Friday evening last:
This evening, about the middle
of the performance in Van Am
burgh's menagerie, a sudden gust
of rain and wind came on. The
tent was tossed about in frightful
manner. The audience rushed from
their seats in every direction. I'm
der the directions Of the manager
the showmen sprang to the ropes
and lowered the center Of the tent;
bat the wind proved too strong for
them. The chains and ropes on
the west side were broken, and the
immense tent was lifted many feet
high, and carried sheer over the
heads of the people and fell on the
east side of the ground. The lights
were extinguished and pitch dark
ness prevailed. The large center
poles and other smaller poles were
dragged by the ropes through the
people, and fell among them, crush
ing and manning quite q number.
The people, blinded by the darkness,
rushed in every direction, suppos-
ing they were coming toward the
village, till many of them found
themselves on the banks of the
Clear Forks, farther from home
than when they started.
DR.. n. D: Whitcomb, who was
wounded in the head and arm, see
ing one Of the lights in the village
made for it. When he got nearly
to it he saw something white shin
ing in the darkness. On closer
scrunity he recognized the tusks Of
the elephant Tippo Saib, who had
broken loose and was leaving the
show in disgust, While the doctor
was rejecting on the best method
of capturing him he saw something
white approach, which proved to be
the keeper, Who appeared sans un-
mentionables, having been in the act
of dressing for the performance with
the elephant when the catastrophe
occurred.
The lions cage was caught by the
ropes and overset, falling upon Pro-
fessor Langworthy, the lion tanner
and seriously injuring him.
It is too soon to know the number
of persons injured. A little daugh-
ter of Mr.. William Gebart was struck
on the forehead and the skull badly
fractured. A daughter of Mr.. David
Steltz is so badly hurt that her life
is despaired of. Miss Rosie White,
Miss Emma Charles, Mis- Agnes
Carey, DR.. Whitcomb, Andrew Evarts
Addison Hamilton, and doubtless
many others whose names 1 have
not yet learned were more or less
injured.
It is proper to add that no blame
can be attached to the managers of
the show, as the tent was secured as
well as such tents usually are.
One lady was struck upon the
head by pole, but her waterfall re-
ceived the blow and doubtless saved
her life.-Cin. Commercial, Oct. 21.

In another column we give the
correspondence which passed be-
tween Secretary Cox and President
Grant, in which the former tenders
and the latter accept a resignation.
Much has been said in regard to the
causes which have led to this action,
on the part of Secretary Cox, but his
letter gives no sign of the real cause,
merely assigning that his "views
of the necessity of reform in the ci-
vii service have brought him more
or less into collision with the plans
of our active political managers, and
his sense of duty has obliged him to
oppose some of their methods of &C.
tion through the Department" and
therefore that his p lrpose to be per.
sistent in the course to which he
was committed would be likely to
''involve opposition" threatening to
the success of the Administration !;
that his duty impelled him to resign.
Positive as the resignation was,
the President had no alternative but
an acceptance, which did not involve
an inquiry as to the particulars of
the cause assigned. Hence the pub
lie remain as much in the dark as
before the publication of the cores
pondence. All, however, must ad
mire the man who, rather than throw
any impediment in the way of the
administrations success, would lay
down the insignia of the Office, and
retire to private life. Gen. Grant,
in his letter of acceptance, bears tes-
timony to the zeal and ability mani
Tested by the retiring officer.

dispatch to the Cleveland Herald,
says:
Addresses were made by the Pres

unanimously opposed the organiza-

Resolutions were adopted denounC
ing the traffic in liquors for drinking,
as crime, and urging its suppress

in exercising the elective franchise,
to discriminate in favor of candidates
who practically favor temperance
and the execution of the Ohio tenn

A DECISION of Importance to bank
ers was lately made in one of the
Courts of New York. The First
National Bank of st. Louis drew two
drafts on the Ninth National Bank
Of New York, one for the sum OF
five dollars and one for six hundred
dollars. These figures we're changed
to read much larger amounts and
the altered draft were paid by the
New York bank and charged to the
st. Louis bank which refused to al
low them. The New York bank
held that the st. Louis bank had not
exercised proper care in making the
original drafts, and that the fraud
was due to the carelessness Of the
drawer. The court held the law tC
agree with this view of the case, but
the jury decided that proper care
had been used by the st. Louis bank

never at all in the ambulances which
are but for him. Equally seldom
has he been seen in the city. The
authorities had to find him at the
Bansant Martin. He would appear
at the Marie only, and he rarely if
ever said a word of encouragement
to the troops. Canrobert sometimes
cheered their patience a little and
then they would say, "Viva Canro-
bert, bas Bazaine.' Toward the
last, he dared not show himself to
his own men, and their terrible dis
cipline is assuredly the cause Of the
hasty rendition when a weeks ra-
tions for all were on hand. On the
morning Of the 29th, five soldiers lay
dead of starvation at Montigney,
while the staff still indulged in lux
urious meats, and four days rations
we're given to the army that morning,
while they had received none for
two days previous. No beef pork
had been obtainable at any price for
a week, but on that morning, before
anything had arrived in town, the
shops had plenty thereof.
At four o'clock yesterday after
noon Bazaine passed through Airs,
on his way to Wiihelmsohe, in a
closed carriage marked with his
name, and escorted by several Of
fcers of his staff on horseback. The
women of the village had heard of
his coming, and awaiting him saluted
him with the exclamation of 'Trai
tor, yes traitor; lache paltron fain-
cant voleur bCigand" (Where are
our husbands, whom you have be-
trayed? Give us back our children,
whom you have sold!) They at
tackled the carriage and broke the
windows and would have lynched
