says of the troupe: ''Tony Denier's Humpty
Dumpty Pantomime troupe opened last night
at the Grand Opera, and will continue
throughout the week, including the matinee
tomorrow. The troupe embraces Grimaldi,
as clown; Miss Boshell, columbine; William
Eunice, harlequin; and so on, and there is
enough genuine fun from the rising of the
curtain until the close. Grimaldi makes an
excellent clown, and, intermixed with the
customary pantomime foolishness, is num-
Der of special acts, original and refreshing.
Miss Boshell makes vivacious columbine.
On the whole, the present company is the
best in this line of business, and jolly

Cincinnati Enquirer.
On last Monday evening, August Goth, the
wife of William Alexander, a young and in
dustrious man, living in the village of Bethany
eloped with William Wilson, painter by
trade, and living in that village also,
to parts at present unknown. Mrs. Alex
ander and Mr.. Wilson have been very intimate
friends for the last three months past, and had
at last made up their minds to fly tie country.
On Monday night, August 26th, Mr.. Alexander
had to sit up as nurse with young man in
that neighborhood, and in his absence they
took advantage of him, dressed in great haste
and their best and walked to Maud's,
a station about three miles and half from
this village on the Dayton short-line railroad,
where they took passage on the night express,
which is due there at 10 o'clock going south.
1t was reported about two weeks ago that Mr..
Alexander had been robbed on the night of
nages. Il va Of tb sgne $500 in
have been some person who had entered his
house for that purpose, but since the elopement
OF his wife and Wilson evidence has come to
light which proved those two to be the guilty
parties who had taken the money. MIR. Alex
ander thinks that his wife managed to get
away with about SO, 500 of his money before
eloping and that she would be compelled to
pay the most of their fare. as Wilson had only
about $40. Wilson made an excuse to his wife
on Monday night that he had to go to Della
ware to see about some work, and that he could
not spare her any money, as he only had ten
dollar bill to 60 there with. Mr.. Alexander
says that he knows of no cause why his wife
should leave him and elope with the scoun-
drel Wilson, as he has always treated her well
and INDUCED her in everything she wished,
to the best of his ability, as his neighbors
all well know. Mrs. Alexander leaves
behind her grieved husband and little
daughter Of three summers, whom she left all
alone In tho house when she left. Mr. Ilex-
ander came homo on Tuesday morning, and
found his little daughter alone and crying. On
the clock shelf he found note. stating that
she had gone to spend the night with sick
friend. Wilson leaves q wife and three
children in destitute circumstances,

THE INSANE ASYLUM.
Another Day Spent in Investigating the
AccOuDta

Another Day Spent in Investigating the
Accounts.
The asylum vouchers occupied the investi-
eating committee all day yesterday. They
commenced their labors at $780, and kept
steadily on throughout the day asserting.
calculating, examining, and noting down for
future reference bills and vouchers. Every
step they take discoses evidence of care
less bookkeeping and gross negligence when
the accounts referred to contracts building,
repairs and all matters outside the Jurisdiction
of the steward, and wherever accounts have
gone through his hands they are
at least ineligible and systematically
arranged making the labor light and pleasant
to the committee. Among many vouchers, cal
ling forth comments, were series for use of
rooms, boarding ana attendance for Mr.. and
Mrs. Bartlett, at $40 with light and fueD and
Sl3 per week.
Senator Doran said that he objected to all
such bills. He advocated paying a good salary
and let each man take care of his own family.
He would like to know if there was anything in
the agreement with DIR. Bartlett justifying such
bills.
Mr. Smith said that he had carefully looked
up the subject and found that Dr. Bartlett
just stepped into the shoes of his predecessor
without any specific agreement, and the posi-
ton he held was that he should receive certain
salary and board for himself-nothing was said
about family.
Mr.. Drews attention was also called to
vouchers for papers and magazines-single
copies, which were evidently intended for the
officers and not the patients. He thought the
officers, like other individuals, should buy
their own books and newspapers. He would
not believe there was a business firm in the
country which bought magazines, newspapers
and books for its employees to read.
The chairman received telegram from Mr.
Dryer stating that he will leave for St. Paul
this morning (Thursday) with the treasurer
books. MIR. Kerr, he said, is in Rochester. Mr.
Dryer will most likely arrive about IL o'clock,
and will be before the committee at the after
noon session. The proceedings from that time
forward will be more interesting as some
curious Developments are expected.
Senator Edgerton has been kept from attend
ing the board meetings by the illness of his
son. which has taken a very serious turn. The
board will meet again this morning at $50
o'clock.

Assuming six-Year-Old Child.

The Mcintyre assault and battery case at the
municipal court, yesterday morning. disclosed
one Of those family feuds which exist too often
where birds of feather, or rather people of
one nationality, colonize. 1t appeared from the
evidence that Mcintyre committed the assault
on the child as charged in tho complaint-even
his own witnesses proved that; and he confessed
on the stand that he struck the child with
lath-the prosecution said he kicked HIM. The
defense was extreme provocation, that the child
was throwing the dust up in the air on the road
close by where Mrs. Mcintyre had clothes hang
ing out to dry, and when Mcintyre spoke to him
he used filthy and disgusting language (the
child is years old). 1t also appeared that the

The Fort Smelling Bridge Bonds.

The bonds for the construction of the Fort
Smelling bridge have been signed, sealed and
delivered to the purchasers, and the money
therefor, over $58, 1000, is now in the county
treasury. A bid at higher premium than
that received was made by Eastern parties,
but the county officers could not accept it, as
it was conditioned upon the bonds being
dated on week day. The bonds had been
dated on Sunday, and the bidders, think
ing that fact might raise question of their
validity, refused to accept them on any terms
unless the date should be changed. The pur-
chasers, however, felt no doubts on the mat
ter, and accepted them as they were.

A GLOBE reporter called at the residence of
Gen. Sanborn last evening and showed him
the above dispatch. After reading it he said
it was surprise to him-at least that part
which was true. His daughter, Miss Hattie
6anborn, Miss Rachael Rice, daughter of Hon.
Edmund Rice, and thirteen other ladies he said
are with Gen. Miles, but the general had force
enough with him to defend fifty ladies. He
had no doubt that Gen. Miles had been fighting;
he went out for that purpose He had received
letter from his daughter, which stated
that the were at the Yellowstone
on the 9th rlt., Fort Ellis 28th and Fort Clark
on the 29th. After leaving Fort Clark they fell
in with Indians and sent back to Fort Clark
for reinforcements. General Sanborn had DO
doubt that Miles forces had been fighting for
several days, but he felt no anxiety, knowing
that Gen. Miles strong enough to whip
any number of Indians that could be brought
against him. He did not give much credence
to the telegram from Bismarck, however, for if
there was any truth in it the news would have
reached headquarters before this, and there is
no telegraph line from Yellowstone Park via
