A BAD PLACE FOE A CIRCUS.
Clowns and Pad-R Riders Encamped on tho
Danube.

A war correspondent. writing from Giur-
gevo on the Danube river, opposite Rustchnk,
says: The town is a dreary, deserted. louoly-
looking place, which, but for an occasional
COssack dashing through the streets, reminds
one of those dying cities Of Belgium and lIol-
land, where there are more houses than people,
and where ono may walk about the STREETS for
hours without meeting single soul. But
there Is circus here, and the circus remains
in spite of the flight Of the inhabitants and the
threats Of bombardment. The circus docs not
seem to have been in a very nourishing con-
dition, which will appear from the assertion of
the circus people themselves that they have
not left tho place for the simple reason that
they had not enough money with which to 20
away. As there are very few soldiers in Giur-
gevo, their income Is naturally even less than
II was in their most prosperous days, and the
poor people are gradually undergoing extinc-
ton by slow starvation. As believe in en-
coursging the arts, have patronized this cir
Gus the two nights | have been here, and
may say that was almost the only spectator.
There were certainly not more than Is people
In the house, and some Of these suspect had not
paid for their admission. 1t was sorry Spec
tacle to sec the poor people cxerting themselves
| to please handful persons who had come to

young girls who rode very well. and another
| one who rode still better II was said, and who
stood by without taking any part in the per-
formancc, because she had been injured few
nights previously by fall There was con-
tortionist, performing horse, a couple Of
gymnasts and ring master and several other
persons, besides half a dozen more horses. How
they all managed to get a living out of the
fifteen or twenty francs which they received
for that nights performances cannot imagine
The circus people, am afraid, could imagine
it far less than | could, brought as they wer,
face to face with the necessity of the attempt

the old, stale jokes were thrown of in q sad
depressed voice, which was anything but
laughabe, and the smile of the girls when We
applauded them, for we did applaud then
with all our hands, was but weak and sick J
one. Even the horses had begun TO feel tn,
effects Of short commons, for their ribs wer,
plainly visible and their backs and hip-bone
stuck out in alarming prominence. What tn,
poor people are to do If this state of thing
continues il is difficult to foresee, for they d.

FEMALE ROBBERS
Operating on the Public Highway.

Three damsels of dusky hue, calling them
selves Mary hanson, Ella Holmes and Fannie
johnson, were arraigncd before Justice Mac
Arthur yesterday morning, TO answer the
charge of assaulting and robbing John Cherry
of gold watch on the public highway. The
females with the exception Of Ella Holmes
carried villainous faces, and might have been
taken for the kind of persons that would be
ready to take hand in most any rascality.
John Cherry was q Waterman employed at
the Surgeon Generals Office, near Riggs' bank
and came off duty at o'clock in the morning
He was returning home from his duties one
night in June last, and when near Eighteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue northwest
was accosted by three women, one of them in-
auiring the time. As he drew his watch to
tell them one snatched 1t, and the three fe-
males ran away. He captured one of them
and held her sufficiently long to identify her,
and then she broke away. They were after
ward arrested, and at the trial the evidence
developed the fact that Ella Holmes had
nothing to do with the transaction, but was
only in bad company. No assault was shown,
and the case appeared more like one of grand
larceny, but the jury thought differently, and
acquitted Ella Holmes and convicted the other
two girls of robbery The court gave each Of
them three years in the Albany penitentary.
Before being sentenced they asserted their in
n0cence, and said the jury had permitted the
guilty woman to go free.

No Libel Against Gen, Hill,

The grand jury yesterday dismissed the
charge Of libel preferred against Reuben Per-
rim by Gen" G. d. Hill. The case was sent
to the grand jury from the Police Court The
libelous assertion was in n letter published by
Mr. Perrin in THE REPUBLICAN,, in which he
said that Gen. Hill had served term in the
workhOuse for vagrancy. In the Police Court
Mr. Perrin admitted the publication, and gave
bonds for the grand jury. The General had
Mr. Perrin at one time clerk at the Metro
pOlitan hotel, arrested for the grand larceny Of
his trunk, containing Si25 worth of clothes
and papers.
The case was tried in the Police Court, and
as there was no evidence to sustain the charge,
the case was dismissed. Mr.. Perrin, feeling
the disgrace of having such charge preferred
against him, had the General arrested for per
| iury in swearing out the information against
| him. The General showed that he had sworn
| to the best Of his knowledge and belief, and
| the case was dismissed Mr.. Perrin having
| failed to get satisfaction and redress from the
courts wrote a letter, which was published in
| THE REPUBLICAN,, in order that his side Oi
the story could have as much publicity as the
charge made against him.
| He said in his letter that the trunk which
| he was accused by the General with having
stolen was held at the hotel for an unpaid bill
and remarked that he had been thrust into
| prison upon the oath of man who calls him
self Gen. Hill, and who very recently served q
| term in the wOrkhOusc for vagrancy
This was the paragraph alleged TO be libel
| Ous.
Mr.. Perrin and many others had an honest
impression that Gen. IIill had been sent down
ON the charge of vagrancy,
This came from the fact that Gen Hill had
| been fined IS In the Police Court for profanity
and, in default of the fine, had been sent down
though he was shortly afterwards released.

THE SECOND B4PTTSTS.
The Fitrhughites Get Possession Of the Fur
niture-MeetinE Of the Gaskins Party.

niture-MeetinE of the Gaskins Party.
The troubles of the Second colorcd Baptist
church have not yet been settled. After the
fire last Sunday morning the trustees of the
church, headed by George Fitzhugh, and n
number of followers, engaged Lyceum hail. on
L street, for place Of worship, and announced
that until the church was repaired meetings
would be held at the hall. On the morning Of
the fire, when the furniture was moved out, II
was taken to the house of Andrew Walker. II
happens that Walker il one OF the Gaskin ins
party, still worshiping In the rooaess church,
which comprises n majority Of the church
members.
George Fitzhugh and his associate trustees,
yesterday, entered q suit of replevin against
Andrew Walker, to recover ono organ, valued
at $50; one rep sofa, IS; four chairs, 81; and
stand. 81; one pulpit, s.; and one melodien
worth $40, belonging to tho trustees for the
corporation.
The Fitzhugh party, however, took the law
into their own hands before the suit was en-
tered. A man named Chew went to Walk er's
yesterday morning and removed the furniture
to Lyceum hall.
The Gaskinites are left without an organ
and without 4 pulpit, but they pcrsevere In
their devotions at the church on Third street.
They call themselves the Second' Baptist
church. A meeting was held at the church
| last evening. Hymn 505 was sung and tn,
second chapter Of Paul was read, and prayer
was offered by the pastor, Rev. NJ. II. Gaskins
The minutes Of the last meeting were rea,
and approved. The meeting consented (,
worship in the church on Third street by
vote of 1874 to l. A committee was appointc,
by vote Of 166 to wait upon the trustees an,
request that they would put temporary roo
on the building. A reward Of 800 is offere,
for the detection of the person who set fire +
the church last Sunday morning.
