THE CIRCUH.

Forepaugh's Great Show at the Park Grounds
The Forepaugh show attracted large
audiences yesterday afternoon and evening.
It required three tents to exhibit all the
features of the show proper, to say
nothing of score Of side show arrange
ments, with their fat women, and hairy
men, living skeletons, pink. eyed people
and big snakes. The first Of the largo
tents. was occupied by the menagerie,
where were exhibited q tremendous array
of the various objects of interest in the
animal and natural kingdoms, including a
rhinoceros and hippOpotamus, always
centres of special attention in al exhibi-
tion of the kind, and long list of wild
beasts from every quarter of the globe.
There was big man and little woman,
but the "ten thousand dollar beauty"
was conspicuous by her absence. The
middle tent was devoted to the elephants
and camels, and hore the big bolivar
came in for full share of admiration and
amazement at his colossal proportions.
Tho circus tent was an immense affair and
the performance was given in two rings.
There was some excellent riding, tumbling
and acrobatics, balancing, juggling, rope
walking etc., but the feature par excellence
was the trapeze performances, which for
skill and daring have probably never been
surpassed in this city. The horses and
elephants are well trained, and did some
clever tricks, and the show was not lack
ing in any of tho essential features that

The usual "concert was given otter each
performance.
Elephant Loose.
At the close of last nights performance
two of tho elephants connected with the
show got away from the Others near the
Penn iron works, where the show was
loaded. They ran up Plum street and got
on the piles of dirt OH the old common,
and tumbled around for some time and
broke down high fence around the iron
works by walking against it. After con.
siderable difficulty the animals were driven
back to tho railroad, where one that was as
big as load of hay, distinguished himself
by falling into a COW hole, which was
large enough, however, to accommodate
an elephant. He was got out after an
hours work, and after receiving . severe
trouncisg for his trouble, with his COM
panion was placed in the car and their
trunks checked for Harrisburg.

these services plaintiffs have never been
paid and sues to recover. A number Of
witnesses testified to the amount of labor
performed, and Is was shown that q son
of Mr.. KEaber 0oce offered Mrs. Sechrist
$500 to settle, which amount his father
was agreed to.
The defense admitted that there might
be som ething owing plaintiff for trivial
services, but it was certainly not as much
as claimed A lot Of clothing belonging to
the deceased and valued at >S0 had been
left with Mrs. Sechrist, at her request, in
part payment Of charges. and as all board
for the deceased had been settled for, the
claim could not be charged.
In rebuttal Mrs. Sechrist testified
that although she agreed to take
the clothing in payment for work
done at and after the funeral, no do
finite arrangement was made and the
clothing remained at her house. The jury
found q verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
$3.50 and gave her the clothing valued at
$50. : . ~
The case of Simon P. Eaby, executor of
Elizabeth X. Hopes, deceased, vs.. Samuel

ant, as first endOrser of . >225 note,
drawn by VIM. Bassler and made payable
to the defendant at Reed & Henderson's
bank, and by him endorsed as we'll as by
plaintiff, that it might be discounted.
When the note became due the bank OBJ
tanned payment from plaintiff, who had
no value of note from Mentzer. He now
sued to recover the face valuc of the note
from him, and he alleged that he was
partner of Bassler, who with the drawer
received tho amount of the note from

The defense was that Mentzer was not
liable on the note as he had no notice of
its maturity as he should have had, and
the note was not protested further, that
Bassler and Mentzer were not partners.
