The Great Barnum and His Great
Show.

At 0 o'clock this morning will occur the
grand entrance parade of Barnum's show
to town, and the cavalcsde will immedi-
a,ely traverse the following streets in sue
cession: Through West to Evelyn street,
through Evelyn to Merchants Row, through
Merchants Row Washington street,
through Washington to Main street,
through Main to West street, through
West to Court street, through Court
to Center street, through Center to Mer-
chants Row, through Merchants Row to
West street, to the grounds of Barney
Traverse, where the tents will be located,
instead of on the fair grounds, as some
have supposed. Those who have seen this
immense show this year pronounce it su-
perb. Its route has been like a triumphal
march, and, no doubt, the managers will
be entirely satisfied with the patronage
which Rutland and the surrounding coun-
try always accord to "good thing" which
this undoubtedly ia. Mr.. Hopkins, the
efficient and courteous press agent, is In
| town and has left no means untried to
ensure the greatest good accommodations
for the greatest number of visitors that
can possibly come here to-day.

collected gaping crowds and proved ex-
tremely annoying to passers-by both on
foot and in teams.
A meeting of the executive committee of
the Hayes and Wheeler club, was held at
Dunton ard Veazey's Office, last evening,
Col. GA. Merrill presiding. Arrangements
were perfected for the meeting to-day;
also for meeting on Thursday evening OF
next week, at which William M. Evarts
and Hon. L. w. Stoughton will speak. A
letter was read from John A. Sheldon, esq.
desiring his contribution to the Hayes and
Wheeler club transferred to the young mems
club. The request of Mr.. Sheldon was
granted. Other arrangements were made
for meeting on the Saturday evening be-
fore election.
Very nearly a fatal accident occurred at
West Rutland last evening. AS the first
evening train was leaving the depot lady
attempted to board the train, which she
had been prevented from doing earlier by
the egress of passengers leaving the car.
The train being in motion and the lady
springng the wrong way she was thrown
off and would have been crushed between
the car and depot platforms had not Mr..
w. Ii. Liscomb promptly leaped from the
car and dragged her from her perilous po-
sition. We learn that no conductor or
other cmploye of the road was present to
supeliDtend the cgress and ingress of pas-
sangers, rs there should have been. The
lady WAS somewhat injured and Mr.. Lis
comb risked his life, but happily no serious
hurt was experienced by either.

in they showed by facts and figures that the

shamcfully oppressed by the party in pow

ticularly effective, showed up the corrup-

unworihiness of its supporters, and proved
conclusvely that the much needed reform

were frequently applauded and the meet

A bear hunt by citizens of Mt. Holly,
Shrewsbury and Plymouth will occur on
Thursday, August 4th. Saltash mountain
will be surrounded at its base, and poor
brun, If not shot before, is expected to
flee before the upward advancing column
to his "dernIer resort" the summit of the
mountain. There they will shoot him if
they can. The programme remiuds me
somewhat of the well known receipt for
making rabbit pie, but l presume the alb
sence of ursine game will be no barrier to
the glory which the hunters expect to win,
as the mountain woods are doubtless full of
such game as the sciurls pubaris and the

or character of the game taken?

HIS LAST TRAMP.
One More Unfortunate Gone to H

One More Unfortunate Gone to His Rest.
On Sunday evening an old, weather
beaten man made his appearance at the
residence Of Mr.. N. Ii. Churchill, in the
Forestdale part of Brandon. lie was kindly
taken care of bv the Churchill people until
morning, when he left. He was suffering
severely from phthysic, but otherwise did
not seem TO he in great distress. Nothing
is known positively as to his whereabouts
during the day Monday, but at night he
was found by some one of Mr.. j. Newells
family near Brandon village. He was
taken into MIR. Newell's house and cared
for as much as be would permit his kind
hearted entertainers to care for him. lie
gave his name as Lucius Batee, and said
that he lived at Essex junction, and that
he had walked to Brandon from that place.
He further stated that he had whipped a
constable at Essex junction before leaving
there; that he had a son in a bank at
Whitehall; that he was the owner of con-
siderable property and man of distinc-
tion when at home. His illness was in
creased after coming to Newell's, but
nothing serious was apprehended until
Thursday morning, when he did not come
to breakfast as usual. Upon looking for
him it was discovered that he was dead.
He lay upon the floor of the room ASST gned
him. Since his arrival he had persisted in
sleeping upon the floor and refusing all
medical and other assistance which could
be beneficial to one in his condition.
The strange conduct Of the old man, who
could not be less than seventy years Of age,
aud his sudden and mysterious death Gre
ated some excitement, and an inquest TO
discover, if possible, the cause of his death,
was determined upon by the civil authori-
ties. The testimony of DR.. o. g. Dyer es-
tablshed the fact that he died from rat
with phthysic. The unfortunate man was
buried in Brandon Friday. A GLOBE rep
resentative, who visited Brandon yester-
day, was informed tia! many of the old
mans statements were correct, and iha. the
son he mentioned had come from White
ball, but the reporter was unable to find
him.
This, though the last tramp of the old
man, was by no means his first. Last fall
he was in Stowe and other parts of La
noble county, and last spring he was in
Sudbury. In each place his stories were
similar to those told at Brandon, and his
experiences were almost identical, with the
exception of the last bitter struggle, which,
strange to say, he had escaped so long.

THE SCAFFOLD.
A Fearful Scene at an Execution.

CINorNATI, Aug. 20.
A special to the Times says that in the
first attempt at the execution of Murphy at
Dayton, Ohio, this afternoon, the rope
broke and he fell to the floor Of the scat
fold. 1t was at first thought that his neck
was broken, but it proved otherwise, and in
three minutes the prisoner was second
time placed upon the death trap. AT this
point he made death grip on Deputy
Sheriff Free mGn, and it required several
men to free his hold. This time the rope
was doubled, and in an instant he was
dangling IN the air and making desperate
struggle for lite, but after few contor-
lions his limbs settled ard his struggles
ceased. A few hours before bis execution
he made full confession Of his guilt.

NEW ALBANY, Ind, Aug. 25.
To-day all the business houses in the
city were closed, as a token Of respect to
the dead speaker, and nearly the entire

ing part in the ceremonies or witnessing the
grand pageant. At the appointed hour the
various organizations moved on to Spring

signed them by Tie chief marshal. There
was about twenty Of these societies, includ-
ing the masous, oddfellows, workingmen,
German focitties, st. Patrick's benevolent

and Louisville, officers Of the city govern
mcnts of Louisville, Jacksonville and New
Albany, the congressional escort from
Washington, state officers and other digni-
taries from abroad. Many houses along
the line of march were heavily draped in
black. During the movements of the pro-
cession the bells Of the city were tolled.
Upon the arrival of the procession at the
house it was halted, when the funeral ser
vices were performed. After the close of
the services the burial case containing the
remains were removed, and the line of
