The Great Show from over the Ocean,

The Great Show from over the Ocean.-
Our advertising columns to-day promise
our readers something unusually and desir-
ably novel and varied in the way of amuse-
ment, in Elkton. Tuesday, May 18th, in
visit from A. B. Rothehild's Royal Victoria
Menagerie, Asio-African Caravan and Con-
tinental Circus, which comes all the way
across the stormy Atlantic to test the lib
erality and appreciation of the American
public, previous to locating itself at Phla-
delphia as one of the features of the forth
coming Centennial Celebration.
Our foreign visitor should have golden
welcome, not only on account of respect
for the nerve involved in making such
singular and risky venture; and the un-
doubted magnitude, elegance and propriety
of the exhibition, but because rare good
faith is demonstrated in the emphatic dis
carding of the museum trash, largely en-
ployed by other shows to swindle the peo-
pie and give preponderously false idea of
their size and attractions. Our new can
didate for arenic recognition sticks bravely
and squarely in its announcement text to
the legitimate features of tent entertain
mentS.
We need not specify the special animals
and noted artists combined to at once in
struct and delight, but the feature of the
gigantic performing rhinoceros, china
laya," is one at once so unusual and extra
ordinary as to deserve special prominence
as the bills say he is 90 whole show Alone
and will add greatly to the general desire
perceptible to seek the great double pavil-
ions of the distinguished nomadic stranger.

The first of May was spent by the youth
and beauty of the town on an excursion
down the river. AS Ambi does not have
claims of either, we did not have the plea
sure of going, but understand the day was
spent very pleasantly. The Cornet Band
made their first demonstration and rendered
some very fine music; few INDUCED in a
touch of the "light fantastic toe,' and so
passed our first day of May.
In noticing the nuptials of our friend Joe,
we made slight mistake; the name of his
better half should have been Davidson in
stead of Davis, and to do Miss Davis justice,
if such person exists, and not spoil her
chances of matrimonial bliss, and to do JUS
tice to the former Miss Davidson, we make
this correction.
Mrs. Dean, widow of the late Richard
Dean, died recently at the residence of Mr..

MORE DAMAGING EVIDENCE AGAINST
MIR. DELANo's INDIAN RING.-A shameful
story of official NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. comes
from the Indian Territory. Lieutenant
Colonel John p. Hatch, commanding at
Fort Sill, has made report under date of
April 10, stating that the Indians camped
near that post are suffering from hunger.
The Colonel says the ration allowed by the
Indian Department to each Indian was
established when he could partly support
himself by hunting, and without other help
is barely enough to prevent hunger. 1t is
not all issued, however There is no flour
at the agency, ''and not more than one
third Of the authorized amount has been
issued during the present fiscal year.
There is no sugar, "and not over two-thirdS
of the regular issue has been made during
the same time "The beef lately issued
has been shamefully bad, and so poor that
the gross is altogether out of proportion to
the net weight. A beef just issued broke
down on being driven less than two miles,
from the agency to the Indian village, and
the chief was forced to send some men 10
kill it and bring the beef into camp" Mr..
Haworth, the Indian Agent, has been alb
sent for several weeks, and the acting Agent
acknowledges that the beef lately ISSUED
twas unfit for food, but said it was all
he had for issue. Under these circum-
stances, Col. Hatch had ordered the Post
Commissary to issue rat!ons of flour or
bread and sugar to these Indian prisoners,
who have been fed until now by the Indian
Department, "that Department asserting
that, after this time, they will be able to
furnish beef of a better quality" Even
with the military rations, less than one
third of the Kiowas and Comanches who
are restrained from hunting are being fed.
The Colonel says it is not reasonable to
expect Indians to remain at the reservation
to starve, when long days ride would
take them to the buffalo country, "and
were they once out hostilites would soon
be renewed" He states, in closing, that
matters are still worse at the Wichita
Agency, the Agent being absent no flour
having been received for some time and
the Indians being compelled to kill and eat
their horses. General Pope endorses the
above report, and especially invites " the
attention of the proper authorities to the
"evidcnt maladministration' at the Fort
Sill and Wichita agencies, and says that so
long as this state of affairs exists the mill
tary authorities will not consent to be held
accountable for any outbreak which may
occur. The report and endorsement were
received at the War Department on Mon
day last.

Town ElectiOn.-This affair passed off
on Monday afternoon last, only lit votes
were cast, and the new Board elected are
DR.. r. II. Tuft, John f. Alexander, Thos.
Drennen, S. B. Foard, DR.. John II. lamar,
Morris Dunbar, VIM. Falls.
Now, gentlemen of the new Board, these
times are very hard, have been so in fact
for quite period, and we do not see any
prospect of improvement. What the pro-
perty holders of the town are most inter-
ested in are light taxes. Property returns
its owners a very small interest, and S12 to
SIS town tax on a dwelling house and lot
of very moderate pretensions is too much.
Cut off all expenses that can be dispensed
with in any way. The best place for
mans tax is in his pocket, after the bare
public necessity is supplied.
No statement of the collections and dis
bursement of the revenue of the corpora
ton has been published for years. This
may be through motives of rigid economy.
We hope it is so. On general principles of
political economy such a theory has not
been found correct. We have heard that a
number of property owners escape paying
town tax by putting off the collector till
the tax is lost sight of in a new levy, and
never paid. Those who do pay have an in
terest, at least curiosity, in knowing the
truth of this statement. How much tax
of the levy of 1S72-3-4 remains unpaid
Everybody wants to know. A half dozen
lines will suffice to make the statement
We will make no charge for publishing
that. Send it up.

Killed by the Carson Thursday, the
express train which passes Elkton about
12 O'Clock, struck a man named James
Shane, who was lying with his head on one
of the tracks in the curve near the colored
church in this town. He was taken up as
soon as the train could be stopped, and
sent back to the Depot, and thence con-
veyed to the hotel kept by Mr.. Oldham,
where room was provided for his recep-
ton. The railroad company ordered a
physician to be called and every comfort
provided for the wounded man. The blow
was received on the back part of the head,
and proved fatal. He fingered till some
time on Thursday night, when he died.
The deceased was stranger and habitual
drunkard, evidently, having made his APP
pearance in town the day before he was
killed looking for employment. He was
tailor by trade, and Baltimore his last place
of business.
