EXCITING SCENE IN A CINCINNATI THEATRE.
During the performance at The National
Theatre last night an occurrence took place
which sent thrill of terror through the
entire audience, and caused the cheeks OF
many a strong man to blanch at the pro.
spect of fearful accident to one of the
lady performers. Fortunately, however,
and owing to the presence Of mind OF the
lady herself. it ended in nothing more than
q scare, and not In tragedy.
Among the greatest OF the many attrac-
tions Manager Sargent's establishment offers
are the trapeze performance OF Mons. and
M'Ile Romelli, two French artists. who are
now here for the first time, and who by
their daring feats have won the admiration
of all who have seen them. Beginning
with O variety of gymnastic feats on the
trapeze, suspended some thirty feet from
the stage, they make their final perform.
ance, the flying leap, CT swing, from one
end of the auditorium to the other. 10
render them perfectly safe in the hrst part
they have rope network stretched under
them--a precaution which never proved
necessary until last night.
They had gone through with their per-
Torrance up to the last daring act satlsfac-
torIly and brilliantly, and were ready 10
commence it. Mons. Romelli, suspended
by his feet from the first trapeZe, swinging
the frail form of his companion. threw her
to the second, while she with o swift
swoop, set out to catch the third with her
feet. She had miscalculated her impetus,
however, and failing to catch the bar with
her feet, went clear through it, making
loop of the two swings. Here she swung,
clInyinc by one hand, q minute or more
over the heads of those sitting In the Or
chestra chairs. Approaching her danger
in a moment, her companion called out ID
hoarse whisper, "Swing into the network"
She did SO and was safe, and was received
with storm of applause.-Ctncinnats En-.

PoLITICAL GOSSIP IN New YoRK.-The

SAYS
"Gnvcrnor Hoffman also renounces his

That the party must be dissolved. For q

Z4.ion ipon the basis OF the existing State
and national organizations, but the utter
overthrow OF it in New York, and lts polu.
lar defeat in other States, too late to rally
for next years election, satisfy him that the

leaders. without regard to new depar-
