In New York, on Thursday, Coroner Kessler

TIE FATAL SPORTS OF THE HIPPopRoMs
BarLum's great New York hippodrome affords
q topic OF serious conversation for the thinking
people Of New York on account Of the FREQ uency
OF fatai occurrences and mishaps to the per
formers in its arena. We have not space or in
cllnstion at this time to describe the character
OF the hippodrome arena. Suffice il to say they
are OF very dangerous character, and are
fully at par, If not above, in per centage Of
danger to the flying trapeZe. Since Mr.. Bar
mum inaugurated his colossal establishment in
New York, period extending over q few
monthe, scarcely day has passed without tue
recurrence OF an accident, and in two instances
with fatal results. On one occasion a female
perfoI mer was thrown from a chariot, the
wheels OF the vehicle passing over her, inilict-
ing severe injuries; next we read of a u;tang
race In which Mexican rider was thrown from
MS animal and severely INJURED; again, q young
lady performer has several ribs fractured by
having the pole of chariot run against her
and on Thursday last Miss Alice Costmey der.
while riding in a hurdle race, was thrown from
her steed, the animal rolling over her. The
horse in trying to regain his footing stepped on
the iady's breast, inflicting severe and probably
fatal injuries

KILOGRAMS TO THE STAR,


WHAT rs THE CHARGE AGAINST BEECH Err
ekNERAL TRACEY, OF PLYMOUTH CHURCH,
EXPLAINS 1T.
NEW YORK, june N.-General Tracey. of
Plymouth Church, says that while Tilton's let
ter fails to show what his charge II, IL clearly
shows that it is not an offence for which one gen
tleman could not apologize 70 another, and
have the apology accepted. Tilton insists that
an apology was offered and accepted. Upon
this point he is very explicit. He claims that
upon receipt OF the information which led him
to make the charge, he sought Beecher and OBJ
tanned from him an explanation, which he re-
garoed and accepted as an apology, and upon
which he rested. He never suffered the past GO
disturb their public relations, and Il would not
now have disturbed them but for the manner in
which Plymouth church hsd treated his case in
connection with the proceedings of the congre-
gational council. He says that after this ex-
PLANTATION Of Beecher he acted with O conscious
desire 10 see Beecher protected rather than
harmed This forbids the suppoetion that TIL
ton regarded Beecher's offence as one th At
affected his honor or that Of any member of his
family.
THE CHARGE AGAINST BERCHRR
10 just this: -Four years ago Tilton claims to
have received information which led him TO
charge Beecher with having made dishonor-
able suggestion to his wife.
MRS. TILToN's DENIAL.
ibis is the extent of the charge and the only
charge made against Beecher. That Is all, and
IL Is well known TO the members of Beecher's
church that Mre. Tilton has repeatedly aud en-
phaucally denied 1t. This explanation OF the
case is correct The public now know the worst
that can be said on the subject, and Ii will nov
understand Why the members Of Plymouth
church, who have all along been well and accu-
rately informed in the matter, have so unani-
Bously stood by their pastor during this long
and unfortunate controversy.

Another Horrible Death from Hy

The y. Y. Tribune Of yesterday has the fol-
lowing account Of case of hydrophobia in
New York city, briefly mentioned in q telegram
TO yesterdays STAR: Those who have doubted
the existence of bydrophobia were taken aback
yesterday by the death Of William Mccormick,
OF No. 3C9 East 5lst street, whose case exhibited
all the most pronounced symptoms of that dis.
ease. A little over o month ago Mr.. McCor-
mick, who il a butcher, and also follows the
cypress business, was bitten by a email dog

sight that it seemed to be only q scratch, and
OF no importance whatever. His wife and fam
ny expressed great anxiety on account of the
fe ars, assuring them that the dog was not m adj
and that there could be no danger. The dog
was taken to the pound and killed, so that
there has been no chance TO prove whether be
bad rabies or not. On Monday Mr, McCor-
mlek began to experience pains in his neck and
about his shoulders. He believed that he had
rheumatism, and again laughed at the fears
OF his wife and family. He continued TO grow
much worse, and applied liniments and TO-
Dentations. He did not consult q pb ysician
and continued to pursue his business as usual.
On Wednesday, at 10, Mr.. Mccormick COM
planned Of feeling peculiar creeping sensation

WHAT MAKES THE SKY BLUK,-Thee the

WHAT MAKES THE SKY BLuK.-The ethereal
blue color OF the sky Is due to minute particles
OF matter which float lin the air. Were these
particles removed, the appearance Of the sky
would be dead black. 1t Is q fact in optics that
exceedingly tine portions of matter disperse or
scatter the blue rays Of light, coarser portions
scatter red rays. still coarser portions scatter all
the rays, making white light. The atmosphere
Is fully Of aqueous vapor, the particles of which
diff use white light In ali directions. When these
particles are enlarged, they become visible in
the form Of clouds. The vapor particles of the
white clouds are supposed to be finer and lighter
than those of the dark clouds. That the diffu-
sion of light in our atmosphere, the blue color
ing Of the sky and the coors Of the clouds, are
due TO the presence Of matter floating In the air
has been conclusively proven by Tyndall. On
passing beam OF sunlight through q glass
tube, the beam is rendered brilliantly visible by
the reflection OF light from the dust particles
floating in the air contained In the tube. But
on removing the dust particles, which is done
by fltering the air by cotton wool, or causing
the air to pass over fame, the beam of light
q no longer visible In the tube.-ScieHtifc Amer
