THE CIRCUS BUSINESS.
A Monopoly for Next Season.

The newspapers have just learned IL at
W. G. Coup's circus has been purchased by
Messrs. Bailey, Hutchinson s. Cooper, and
a prominent Snowman says that these three
men will monopolize the show business
next season, as they have formed a pool,
and they will own five largo shows next
year as follows: First, the Barnum show ;
second, the Adam Forepaugh show third
the Coup show fourth, the Cole show,
and fifth, the Bacheller & Doris show.
They will dobtless organize the Hayden
and Gayliard show, owning the
controlling interest in every one
Of these combinations. What Barnum
will do has not been learned. 1t has been
known for some time past by Snowman
that the Coup concern had been purchased
by these men. 1t was reported that Bailey,
Barnum aud Jack Haverly would be part
ners, but that is not very likely from pres
ent Indications.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Cars wrecked and Burned.


About 5 o'clock Saturday evening en-
gine No. 295, attached to coal train, in
charge of Engineer Samuel Shul:z and
Conductor David Welsh, ran into the rear
of another freight train drawn by engine
"a, short distance below the Penn iron
works, crushing the cabooso Of 81 and
and throwing it across the north track,
and then crashing into coal oil tank,
throwing it from the trucks and landing
it upon an embankment near Stewart's S
coal yard. The collision was so Sc
we're that locomotive 295 was badly
wrecked, the smoke stack and pilot
house being torn away and thrown upon
the north track. The locomotive then
jumped the track and was upset near the
wrecked coal oil tank, and the burning
coal from the engine set the coal oil OH
fire, and this in turn set fire to the locomo-
tive and both were consumed together
with one coal car and half a carload of
coal. The flames lit up the country for
miles around. Our firemen were soon on
tho ground and prevented the spread Of the
flames to Stewards coal yard which was
for time in imminent danger. Engineer
Shultz and the fireman saved their lives by
jumping from the train when they saw a

freight trains were detained by the acci-
dent for several hours, finally running past
the wreck Oh q long siding at the point.
An immense crowd of people gathered to
witness the fire, and yesterday the wreck
was also visited by thousands of people.
Immediately after the wreck occurred the
wreck trains, stationed at Harrisburg and
Columbia, we're sent for and were soon on
hn rrorn1 1opro frroo nev
put to work. They did not finish their Ia
bors until 10 o'clock yesterday, thou III the
north track was cleared by o'clock a. m.
While the wreck was being cleared away,
the cast passenger trains were standing at
different points in the neighborhood of the
passenger depot, which was crowded for
several hours with strangers, who were
anxious to get away. During the even-
ing 210 Of them took supper at Sides's
restaurant.
The cause of the accident has not yet
been fully investigated nor the response
bility for it fixed upon any of the officers
1t appears that engine 81 had stopped at
the stock yard to shift some cattle cars.
The regular tlagman to the train had been
left at point some distance west of tho
city. and had been picked up by engine
s95, as is frequently done with other flag
men who are unavoidably left behind by
their train. A special flagman, however,
had been sent back by engine 81 when it
stopped, but it appears that 29j was closer
than was supposed and the fagnau had
got bnt a short distance to the rear when
the train came suddenly upon him, and
there being heavy down grade and
33 loaded coal cars attached to the Gil
gine, it could not be stopped until the col
lision took place.

Washington Cor Philadelphia Times.
A great leader would have gone straight
ahead, looking neither to the right nor to
the left, taking no note of pending state
elections, and have chosen from the cn
nent men nhis party 4 full cabinet which
would have ut once represented the best
OF his faction and commanded the admira-
tion of tho country. But Arthur is not a
great leader and naturally resorts to the
methods of the ward politician, literally
diluted with the method of Grant. From
Arthur's standpoint the offices are Gre
atcd for strictly partisan purposes from
Grants they arc the personal per-
quisites of the president and may be given
out of gratitude to friends. Combine
these two methods and VIC have the very
worst You ever saw. Iu the first attempts

4 Onarrel of Thieves.

The Western Union and the new Mu-
tual Union telegraph companies are hav'
ing wrangle over the publication by
the former of the construction contract
of the latter, which the Mutual Union
declares was surreptitiOusly obtained by
bribing clerk to copy it. No doubt the
charge is true, but it is, as TOot says,
of no consequence if it is :; for who
would suppose for 4 mOmOnt that either
company would not get any advantage
over the other that it could effect by so
simple 4 means as bribing 4 clerk and
any show of virtuOus Indignation by
a big telegraph or railroad corporation
over such a peccadillO is only ludicrous.
The Western Union secured the substan.
tial advantage of being able to advise
the public that its new rival was pre-
pairing to fleece the people by contracting
to give si4,OOo,OOO for building $4,000
miles of telegraph which the Western
Union officers say can be built for &c.
SOC, 900, or $500 mile and they ought
to know and to he telling the truth
this time, since the same figures
made their own lines worth but
forty one millions, though stocked
at eighty millions. One would think
that the result of such a declination
would be to reduce the market price of
Western Union stock at once to fifty
per cent. But it scarcely seems to have
affected it at all. Its large owners have
too great a stake in it te let it go down
until they can unload 4; and meanwhile
the small owners have chance to unload
on them, of which they will be wise to
avail themselves. If people who have
money to invest would but ascertain the
cost of the works of the companies they
buy into, they would exhibit less often
the ease with which fool and his
money are parted. 1t is unsafe enough

Rival Fast Trains,

Now that the Pennsylvania fast train

York to Chicago in 26s hours, the New
York Centred has decided to follow suit and
even do better. It proposes to make the
run in two hours less time, or in a tritle
over "a hours. This time, it is claimed,
can be made without difficulty, if it be
necessary. The fare to Chicago by the
Pennsylvania road is now .$14, and seats
on the fast train will cost SO more, making
the charge $22. The fare by the New
York Central to Chicago is $9.25, and seats
in the limited express will probably not be
more than S. extra, or $14.s5. Meals will
be served on the train.
