ket over his horse while standing on
the shaft of his carriage, the animal
made a sudden spring, throwing him
to the ground. when one of the wheels
passed over his legs, bruising them
considerably, but fortunately breaking
no bones. The horse was stopped al
ter going short distance without do
ing further damage.
In the evening Of the same day the
Good Templers held meeting in their
hall in the same village, and as the
Messrs. Sapp we're about alighting from
their carriage, the horse started throw
ing Mr.. Sand hurting himsomewhat. A
runaway seemed imminent but several
yeung men coming up caught the horse
by the lead and prevented good race
along the highway.

In the U. s. Circuit Court at Charles
ton, S. G., yesterday, Judge Bond in
structed the jury in the Barnwell county
election cases to bring in verdict of
not guilty, on the ground Of a defect in
the information, The first four counts,
he held, could not be maintained, be-
cause they contained no allegation that
the parties alleged to have been inter
ferpd with had been molested on ac-
fount of their race or color. The fifth
count, while it charged an offence un-
der the statutes, that is, the right to
vote at an election without distinction
OF race or color, had no proof offered to
sustain it. The jury accordingly rem
dcred a verdict Of not guilty. U. 5.
District Attorney Northrop then moved
to continue all the political cases until
the November term, saying that sit
would be impossible, after the ruling OF
the Court Just made, and in coiise-
quence of the time already consumed in
dilatory motions on the part of the de-
fence, to proceed with the trials with
out enormous expense to the Govern
mcnt and serious hardship to the wit
nesses for both the defendants and the
Government. There being no objec-
ton by counsel for defence, the cases
were continued until November.

Arouud tho Saw 4 ust circle.

The energy expended by the barrel
organ men and tho amount OF discord
thumped out Of the bass drums In the
side shows that skirted the big circus
tent, made a fitting accompaniment to
the csaselsss song of the blowers and
: peanut v.nders who cry their wares to
The people focking to the arena. 1t is
estimated that from 10000 to l2,OOO
people attended the circus yesterday,
and one of the managers stated that
the crowd was larger than he had
AL ntieipated." Last evening long bs-
fore the hour of commencement, crowds
Of people had assembled around the
grounds, and when the ticket Office
opened there was a general rush for
tickets. The programme, though a
long one was gone through with before

Miss Addis Austin, Sencrita Adelaide
Codouna, FL Senior Don Geronimo Bell,
and the undisputed champion Mr..
Frank Melville. The famous Lawrencs
Sisters, said to be the champion lady
|gymnasts Of the world, gave some won
d.rful and daring trapess acts and mid
air fights, introducing their leaps
for life, leaps hand 70 hand, and a
leap from flying bar to single cord
suspended from the dome. Prof. tieo'
Asstingstall, gave some marvellous
performances with his educated ele-
phants. The graceful and astonishing
Slack wire act by Miss Louisa Bush-lI
called forth loud applause. There Ii
a strong woman amoung the performers
a regular female Samson. Her ham'

several extraordinary feats. For in

two men upon her shoulders at th'

Trial Of Marion.

Francisco Marron, "alias" Frank
Jackson, over whose arrest i'll Phllsdrl-
phia the Wilmington authorities have
had 80 much trouble, was gwen hear
ing on the charge Of rohbing the dry
goods store of William B Jstler1, who
was then doing business a. sos Market

hardt stated that tn. robbery took place
ON the same Saturday night that Mt.
Salem church was burned, ana also
gave in evidence relating to the COM
mission of the act, Of which our readers
are already acquainted. The stolen ar
ticles consisting of velvets, tlannels,
gloves. handkerchipfs. jewelry, nubias
and other articles of apparel, were
brought into the office and identified by
Mr.. Jeff-ris as his property. Just fol
lowing the burglary the officer obtain
ing certain information which led him
to suspect the prisoner strongly, he
followed ur the clue until he came up
with part of the stolen property in
the house of Mrs. Holfecker, the mother
in law Of Marion. Mrs. Ro!fecker here
told the officer that she suspected Fran
cisco as he had been in those things
before she knew he had lot OF goods
but didn't know how he got possession
of them. Mr.. Bernhardt also recovered
petticoat, which had been made by
Marron's wife from piece of the nan
mel. This being conclusive the oficel
Immediately tslegraphed to Philadel
phia to arrest Marion, who had started
for that city and recover the balance o
the stolen property. This was done
and the officer repaired at once tt
Philadelphia for the goods and prise
ner. While there Marion informed
the officer that" he committed the deed
and that upon the night in question hi
had occasion to go to the back part o
his shop, and seeing the window open
he couldn't resist the impulse to prof
by the opportunity" Other witnesses
were called but no new facts wer'
gained. Marion was held in $500 bal
for his appearance at court.

Caucus Last Evening.

There was full attendance at the
Democratic caucus last evening. The
meeting was held in the Clerks cfsee.
The matters up for consideration per-
tain to the appointment Of City Audi
tors clerk and the appointment for the
city Solicitorship. For the latter ofise
the nominees were Messrs. Wsf.
ter Cummins, James l.. Vallaudigham.'
Henry Emmons and Henry Clay Tu~L
ner.
There were several ballots takefi
merely complimentary the majority
having already decided in favor of the
latter nominse. What Mr.. Turner'S
vote was we are not informed. This
action was a premature one, as the in
cnmbent Mr.. Samuel Macalister has two
years more to serve. This will be OBJ
Waited by the repeal of the ordinance.
This ordinance under which Mr.. Macal.
lister holds his position, is Of recent
passage and says the Solicitor shall be-
''Elected by the City Council, At the
first meeting in May, of every third
year thereafter"
BY this it may bs seen that Mr.. Mac.
alister has not yet served the Arst
year of this three year term. The or
dinance that is intended 80 our inform
ant tells us, will be introduced on
Thursday evening next. This action
was considerd at some length by the
caucus.
The appointment of an auditors
clerk was also considered. We learned
that the nominees were Messrj. James
Plunkett, Cornelius Stinson, and three
others named Townsend, Torbert and
Wainwright. The present clerk il
William H. Curry, appointed by Re-
publican council, and has served two
years. His term will expire on May
lst. To succeed him we are informed
the caucus decided upon James A. Plum
kett. Mr.. P. has served one or twt
terms as clerk under former Dsmocr attic
councils.
The caucus adjourned about tel
o'clock.

The following notice, clipped from a
Philadelphia paper, may be OF interest
to those who are anticipating with plea
sure the Rev. DR.. Appl-ton's lecture on
the evening of the 18th inst.
"Starting from the West Philadelphia
depot, the speaker carried us in thought
across the continent to our Western
coast. We we're given some idea Of the
long voyage on the Pacific, Of the pc
culiar sensation the speaker expert
enced when he reached that point in
mid-ocean, where one day is lost out of
the calendar. We then had a very hu-
merous account Of the way in which the
Doctor was lost in one of the cities in
Japan. Next we stood with him on
one of the heights Of the Himalaya
Mountains, and listened with great
pleasure to the vivid description he
gave us of the wonderful scenery in that
far-away land. Pushing on then from
place to place, he took us to the Holy
Land and gave us, with much feeling,
his experience there. Passing next
through Europe, stopping for some
time in England, and there taking a
steamer for home, he brought us back
apain to our own shores. The lecture
was listened to with great attention,
and gave US not only much amusement,
but also great deal of information"
Though lie did not make "The Tour
Of the World in Eighty Days" our
lecturer may rival Jules Verne in the
recital of his adventures by land and
sea. Tickets are for sale at c. +.
