A CIRCUS TRAGEDY
which Ended Levi J. N0rth's Career
A Deceived Husbands Throat Cut.

The Dramatic NeUs of last week has the
following story of a tragedy that old-timers
will recall:
A small, weakened old man has been
standing across the road for some Time evil
IDENTIFY waiting for some one. As be drags
himself across the street / start, and wonder
if it is possible he is Levi J. North. /
thought he was dead long ago. In his day
this shrunken and battered old man was a
power in the show business, and owned the
best circus on the road. Let me think a
moment. All, yes; l remember. The scene
is Little Rock, Ark. The circus has come
to town. North and lady have arrived at
the hotel and been assigned apart
ments. The lady is beautiful, and a
tight-rope dancer of phenomenal abil-
lily. But sbe does not seem at ease, and
gaz=s furlively around. North notices her
anxiety, and tells her to 90 to her room.
He then gives instructions to the hotel pro-
prietor to admit no one 10 her room under
any circumstances. The hotel-keeper is
fair specimen of the rugged borderman Of
those days. He says no one shall go 70 the
la3y's room and North goes out satisfied.
About ten minutes after he is gone a man
comes in, evidently laboring under great
excitement ard examines the hotel register
The hotel man is watching him, and as be
makes motion 10 go upstairs, he demands
AHMy name is McFarlane, and demand to
see this lady. She is my WIFE,"
81 can't help that. You can not go up
stsirs."
81 must and WILL" SAYS McFzrlane, and
then breaks past the landlord and has
reached the first step, when the landlord
catches bin with the left arm, and, drawing
a bowie-knIfe, cuts his throat from ear to
ear. He staggsrs, utters cry, and falls
dead. The cry has aroused the lady, for she
appears on the scene just in time 10 witness
her husbands death. She swoons at the
sight.
The nexi day the LADY has 80 far recovered
that she has given reluctant consent TO sp-
pear in the circus that evening. The real
facts of the tragedy have been made public,
and the large audience assembled in the tent
do not know of her connection with IT, They
merely know that through indisposition she
was unable TO appear yesterday, but will ap-
pear positively tonight.
North leads the beautiful lady gu. amid
plzudlts and cheering. She lakes her place
on the tight-rope, North attending her.
She steps forward a few feet and comes
back again. She hesitates; North urges her
forward. She tells him there is blood on the
rope, and yisibly pales beneath her paint.
North humors her, and pre;ends TO wipe it
of. She starts forward again. About half
way she stops and points 10 the end of the
rope. North is at her side IN a moment
ALookin says she, There's Mac, and bis
throat il all bloody, He's calling me"
And, with shrek, she falls from the rope
into Eorth's arm raving maniac.
The star of Levi J. North fell that day. The
boys in the business all knew McFarlane,
and liked him. They followed North up
and covered his board-biils and irritated

Words of communication from us In behalf of
Mr.. Young are s1perhuous. Comparatively
young man, he soon took high rank in
Congress, not only as a forcible and eff
fective SPEAKER, but as an industrious
and useful member, who did his work
we'll and thoroughly. Col. Young has a ma

is uusulied and above reproach, he is popu-

get up and get through such legislation "a
bis constituents require. The records of
Congress attest his zeal and efficiency. The
manner OF his nomination, lite unanimity
and the character of the convention which
presented his name, are guarantees Of his

Engineer Foley testified hat ne wss running
with the engine reversed and sand pouring
on the rails, and that the speed was thirty
miles an hour. Other employees testified that
the train was going at the rale of fifty or

insufficient TO hold the train on such grade.
