A Revolution in the Circus Business

OF late years the hotel and stable hills
Of the showmen have run up to such enor-
nous figures as to devour nearly all their
receipts. In order to overcome this enfeeb,
ling drain, Mr.. j. NJ. French, of New Or,
leans who had to take circus in self de.
fense. and run it in order 10 get back mon
ey which he had loaned to the proprietors,
last season, hit upon the expedient of camp
ing his men and horses on the ground on
which they performed. This worked SO
we'll that Mr.. French has gone into the
business systematically, and will this sea-
son run his show Independently Of landlords
and stable keepers altogether.
Mr.. French has had a kitchen built, eight
feet wide, ten feet high and eighteen long
with all the modern improvements, which is
mounted on wheels, and in which cooking
can be done for one hundred men with econ
omy and celebrity. This kitchen will be 6
show in itself, and the performances of the
cook and his assistants vii be apt to divide
the interest OF the country housewives witt
the performances under the canvas.
Mr. French has also devised a portabl,
canvas stable for his horses, thirty-fve fee
wide, eighty-fve feet long, and fifteen fee
high. Portable stalls, troughs and othe
stable gear have also beeu provided ia abun
dance, and provender has been engaged a
convenient points, so that the horses of tn
concern may have all possible equine com
forts.
Other shows getting wind of this new i'm
provement, have also gone into it; and
now looks as though the country landlord
would be left unto themselves desolate b
those on whom they have heretofore locke
as lawful prey.-N. Y. Sun.

SCENE IN THE GOLD RooM.-The

SCENE IN THE GOLD RooM-There was
some laughter in the gold room, on last
Wednesday, when a newly arrived English
Dundreary, who had been taken there with.
out being told the nature Of the place, de-
camped in haste and terror under the i'm
preston that he had got into a madhouse'
The Englishman, however, was quite COL
rect in his opinion and entirely justifable
in his conduct. There is no. madLouse in
the country which is the scene of such wild
absurd and horrible uproar as the gold room
is now>a>days, and people who wish to re
tain their reason and their wits ought t.
keep outside Of it as determidly as the,
must do if they wish to retain possession o
their money.-[N. Y. Tribune.

A LEGISLATIVE KNoCK-DowN-On
Friday last, shortly after the adjournment
Of the Legislature, personal encounter
took place in the Senate chamber between
Senator Linderman, Of Bucks county, and
Senator Nagle, of Philadelphia, the latter
being the assaulting party. 1t seems the
former has made some remarks in private
discussion of the Metropolitan Police Bill
rejecting upon the personal character of
the latter. Senator Nagle demanded an
explanation, or retra,tion, which failing to
receive in satisfactory manner, he struck
Senator Lindermau a blow in the
face with his fist. Mr.. Lindernan respon-
ded by blow with his kane, when Mr..
Josephs, member of the House, from Phil
adelphia, came to the aid of Mr.. Nagle, and
struck Mr.. Linderman one or two severe
blows At this point outsiders interfered
and supported the beligerants. 1t is haidly
necessary to add that all parties engaged in
this disgraceiul affair are Democrats

A Horrible Murder.

MANSFIELD; o., March IL, 1S7O.-.Early
this morning, it was discovered that Mary
j. Lumsford, a seamstress, about thirty
years old residing near the Atlantic de
pot, had been murdered in her bed. The
most intense excitement was created by the
discovery, and several thousand persons
have visited the scene Of the horror during
to day. The body was fonnd on bed in an
upper room, nearly naked ; the upper Stats
of the bed were broken, her head resting
near the floor Her head was almost sew.
cred from the body by horrible cash in
the throat, extending from car to ear !;
another laying one cheek open from the
mouth to the throat, and deep cut, about
six inches in length, extending downward
in the abdomen The upper part of the
bed and pillow were saturated with blood
large pool of which was on the floor. Her
arms were terribly bitten, and her body
bore evidence of fearful struggle with
the iend
The following facts have been elected !:
The woman came here from Cincinnati in
August last, and has been the kept mistress
of one of our citizens, formerly of Cinciu-
natl BY letter found on the premises it
appears that she was to have been married
on Tuesday next to q man by the name of J
Ebersoll, of this city. Marks of blood on
lower window sill indicate that the mur-
derer escaped that way. Ebersol was ar.
rested at Shelby to day, and will be held as
witness The murdered woman has
been married and leaves one child, about
seven years old, living at Lima. Her for.
ner husband is supposed to be now in ken
lucky. 1t is thought the murderer must
have been wounded, as he was tracked some
distance by blood on the ground. AS yet
nothing has trauspired to furnish a clue to
the murderer. The county Commissioners
and city council met this morning and
promptly offered reward of one thousand
dolars for the detection of the murderer.
kilograms were sent in every direction de.
failing the facts as as transpired.
MANSFIELD. OHIO, March 16, 1870.
The coroner's inquest on the murdered
Mary j. Lunsford, has been in session all
day, and is still in session. The facts elici,
ted 20 far to show that A. S. Robinson, a
foreman in the machine shops of Blymea,
Day & Co., and who has tor along time been
paramour of the woman, is the guilty
party, and his arrest was ordered thi. af.

from the country established themselves at q
fashionable hotel in one of our Western
cities, for the purpose of seeing the sights
The lady Was young and pretty. The
pair nad been IN The hotel some twenty
four hours, when the bridegroom walked
up to the clerk and remarked: "Thats

-. [From the Cory Republican, :.
Editorial Correspondence.
HARRlsBRu. PA. March 2l. 1870,

HARRlsBRo, PA, March 2l, 1870.
The legislative work OF the last week has
been OF startling character. 1t has over
shadowed in magnitude anything attempted
heretofore in many years. But four days
are required to pass theough both branches
OF the Legislature bill taking nine and
a-half millions of dollars or railroad bonds
from the sinking fund Of the State Treasu-
ry, and giving them to chartered compa--
MES tor bonds upon roads that as yet have
no material existence. Nine and a half
millions at swoop, and that between the
evening of four days! 1t was manifest
from the first appearance of the bill in the
Senate that the powers controlling legisla-
ton had willed it should go through, and
all opposition would pass as naught.
HOW DISTRIBUTED.
The lead aud front of the scheme con
sists in giving six millions of tie Penn
sylvania Railroad bond to the Jersey Shore
Pine Creek aud Buffalo Company, incorpo-
rated few days.ago, to construct a road
from Jersey Shore, in Lycoming County
to some point in Mexican County, to con.
meet with the Buffalo and Washington road
In return, the new road is to give first mort.
gage bonds to an equal amount the time
OF final payment, however. being extended
four years beyond that of the original bonds
1t is stipulated that the road shall be con
structcd and in running order within three
years. and that this together with the pay
ment OF the interest on the bonds until
the road is built, shall be guaranteed by the
Pennsylvania or some other responsible
Railroad Company. Three and a half mil.
lions of the Allegheny Valley Railroad
bonds are to be apportoned thuswise Tc
the Pittsburgh, Virginia and Charleston
company, one million six hundred thousand
to construct road between South Pitts
burgh and Greensboro, in Green County
to the Clcarfeld aud Buffalo Company
one million four hundred thousand, tC
make connection with the Allegheny
Valley Railroad extension at some point in
Clearfield Co., with the Buffalo Washing
ton Rail- Dad at some poin. in Mexican
County and to to the Erie and Allegheny
Company five hundred thousand dollars
to construct a road from Erie to some point
on the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad
in the county Of Erie, or CrowfUrd In all
these cases second mortgage bonds to an
equal amount are to be given for those ia
ken, the first mortgage to be limited sixteen
thousand dollars per mile The stipulation'
for the construction of the roads within
three years, and the payment Of the uteres
on :he bonds are the same as required O
the Jersey shore, Pine Creek and Buffalo
Road. This is a brief staement of the
transaction itself, but around it cluster ma
hy considerations which must be taken int
account in estimating.

grow rich, at his death left her very poor
with several small children, SO that she was
forced to do something to get them bread
She succeeded in getting an Office. Now,
the lady being very beautiful awakened
compassion in the breasr of fellow clers

Of just such face to sit opposite him at The
