early IN the afternoon, and the telegraph

persons anxious tohear the particulars
Among those who listened to the de

at fault II is understood that Super

be ordered to make a rigid examina-

which every passenger has on stepping
aboard of them would be dispelled by
this calamity.

IN Dan Rice's Pavilion Circus, during
Il performance in that city on Tuesday
afternoon:
\ violent gale was blowing at the
time, and the immense canvas which
covers the pavilion swayed to and fro.
Every precaution was taken to keep the
tIapele motionIess when August Seig
rist made his wonderful leap from one
end OF the tent TO the other. He watch
ed his opportunity and sprang from the
PEDESTAL. But at that moment a gust
of wind swayed the tent, and this caus-
ed him to miss his brother, who was
suspended head downwards from the
trapeze, and he fell with dull thud to
the ground beneath, striking upon his
shoulder. The distance was about for
ty feet, and in his descent he cleared the
netting which was placed benerth in
ease of accident His shoulder was
bruised and his left arm famed. OF
course he could not finish the act
Neither could he perform it the last
night.
