How Sells Circus Was Wrecked.

The coroner's inquest at Louisville, KY,
held on the victims of the wreck of Sells
Brothers circus train recently, develops
the following additional particulars: The
: train, which consisted of twenty-one cars,
was coming down grade ofseventy feet to
the mile, and there being only four brakes
it became unmanageable and went at terri
fic rate of speed. This either caused the
track to,spread or drumhead pulled out
and fell on the track, thro wing the third car
from the engine over the embankment and
the others followed Seven. cars were COM
pletely demolished Engineer Foley said
he was running with the engine reversed and
sand pouring on the rails, and
that the speed was thirty miles
speed was fifty or sixty miles an hour, and
that the breaks were insufficient to hold the
train on such grade. 1t was shown how
ever, that several brakes had been removed
by the Sells in order to facilitate the
loading of wagons on the cars. The
cars ere the property of the railroad com
pany. The following is the verdict of the
coroner's jury: "We of thejury find that
Ben Case, Jack Carter and Willie Under
wood came to their death by the wrecking
of a train, caused by an unusual rate of
two fatally wounded, one other probably IA
tally, and eleven wounded otherwise.
Catholic Colonization at the West.
At the annual meeting in Chicago of the
Catholic Colonization Society, reports from
the colonies of Adrian, Mimi, and Greeley
county, Neb., were made, the colonies being
reported in excellent condition. The crops
are good, the colonists contented and clergy
men have been established. Ii was decided
to work principally upon St. 'Patrick's colo
ny, California for the present. The treas
urer reported balance of $4,000 IN the
treasury, and notes of colonists to the
amount of $4,000 are payable Jan. 1. 1t
was decided to take up 10 per cent. of the
stock in short time, the date not being de-
fnitely fixed. Remarks were listened to- from
the Rev. Father Nugent of Liver
pool, who spoke upon immigration. His
object this year, especially is to prepare the
likely to- flow in next year in consequence of
the appropriation of 100000 by the British
government to promote emigration among
the Irish people. He has visited all parts
OF Cadada and has succeeded in inducing
the Cathalic bishops and clergy to agree to
take five families in each parish. From Chi
cago he will go northwest to visit, colo
MES i'm that vicinity. Among those present
were Bishops Spaulding of,Peoria, Ireland
of St. Paul, and Fitzgerald, of Little Rock,

is yet 1850 miles to be laid. The work is

half to two miles per y ON the branches.
TheGe will be $50 miles of branch road in
operation this fall. To do the work of con-

The Balloon Ran Away with Mlm.
Prof. Allen of Providence, r. l., made
an involuntary balloon ascension from Mil
ford, near Boston, Wedr esday. An .ascen-
ion was to have been made in connection
with other features of attraction fer the
county fair, and the balloon was nearly
filled and ready to he slipped. Prof Allen
stepped into the basket to arrange it for his
trip when from an unexplained cause the air
ship got loose from its fastenings and sailed
away with the professor in it, much to his
establishment, and the amazement of those
who were assisting him. The balloon had
no anchor, the valves were not in proper
working order, and fears were felt that the
aeronaut would meet with some serious ac-
cident. Taking southwesterly course, the
balloon passed over East Douglass, Mass,
and landed near Putnam, Conn.,, without
serious damage TO it or injury to Prof. Allen.

THE MACARONIANS.
Their Voyage and Barbecue Yes
terday.

The festal season of the Macaronians
was inaugurated yesterday in grand
style, and their merry making was a
memorable occasion for all who par
ticipated, it being a feast of reason
an flow of soul for nearly twelve
hours. The steamer Macready car
ried the Macaronians off down the
river during the breezy hours Of
morning. The party on board were
social in their dispositions, and the
exhilarating effects of the trip added
Eest to the occasion. 1t was a pleas
ant run Of seventeen miles the boat
de when she rounded to near Horn
Lake landing below the city. Here
the excursion debarked and sought a
lovely forest grove, where prepare
tions had been made for the reception
of the guests. The incidental features
Of the day were such as have been
usual on similar excursions in the past.
There was beer and beef, chowder and
chickens, macaroni and milk, kid
and coffee, lamb and liquor, pig
and potatoes, and a long bill
of fare too numerous to mention and
in profuse supply. Besides this there
were spOrtive feats, fishing exercises
hunting squads, and many other frolic-
some pastimes. The entertainment
was capital in every respect and en-.
joyable to degree, while the feast
proved as delightful as any ever before
partaken of. During the evening
the excursionists returned to
city by the steamer Macready all in
safe order, arriving at their homes
after an absence of II hours and all
in the happiest possible humor.
The next jubilee, to come off at no
distant day, is already under discus
sion, and quite rivalry is indicated
by the resident planters on the river
below as to where it shall be held.
The aforesaid planters, to the number
of dozen or more are urging the
Macaronians to pay their respective
neighborhoOds visit, asking the So
ciety to give them a little chance to
display their hospitality.
The date of tho proposed affair has
not been agreed upon, but will be an
nounced in due time.

UAAtturseAsia AtITttiff
or a Dfunken Man at the Gala.
bO0se-Thri1Iing Incident.

A thrilling incident occurred at the
stationhouse about two o'clock Sunday
morning. Just about that time a
drunken man passed in front of the
STATEN, Keeling from side to side of the
pavement. When asked where he
was going, he answered; "Oh, only
down on Locust street for awhile"
probably thinking he was in St. Louis.
He was taken in, searched and put to
bed in the dodgers room on the second
floor, which has a door leading out on
the porch. A few minutes afterward
the keeper heard noise like a
dog gnawing a bone, and
looked everywhere for the sup
posed canine without success. The
noise continued, however, and finally
the keeper turned his eyes toward the
top OF the courtyard wall, where he
beheld a spectacle which almost made
his hair stand on end. This wall is
thirty-fve feet high and not more
than twelve inches wide on top.
Crouched on this narrow place, and
outlined in bold relief against the
moonlight sky, was the figure of a
man, which the keeper at once recog-
nized as the inebriate put in the
dodgers room a few minutes before.
what are you doing thereP Come
down" cried the keeper.
"Oh, don't say a word; I'll come
down at once" answered the man il
a whisper, and began slowly crawling
backward toward the point where the
wall intersected with that of the main
prison. The mans situation was pre-.
carious. If he fell, either on one side
or the other, he would almost certainly
be killed. Several persons had col
lected by this time, and they watched
him with absorbing interest and with
batod breath as he slowly returned
He had forty feet to go, and the top Of
the wall, worn by time, was rough
and uneven, the bricks and
plaster displaced in many parts.
1t was a dangerous place for a sober
man, but for drunken mar, absolute
ly desperate. he finally reached the
end of the wall in safety, and the
turnkey was obliged to make use of a
ladder to get him down on the porch
again. In descending the last rung Of
the ladder, his foot slipped and he fell
like log upon the floor, dead drunk.
So deep was the stupor into which he
suddenly relapsed, that it was neces-
sary to carry him bodily to the dodgers
room, where he slept all night, and
did not fully recover until near noon
to-day. No one knows his name, OF
how he got upon the wall. The only
way he could have done so was by
means OF baton door, but many an
athlete would have paused before at.
tempting it in this way.

UNsKILLFUL THIEVES
Cause BIr. Laprade 10 shed
Tears by Their Manner Of
RObbing Him.

Some time during last night thieves
entered the residence of Mr.. J. T.
Laprade, 220 Alabama street, by cut
ting a slat and breaking bolt over
the lower sash of rear window, and
when they departed chaos was left
behind them in the shape Of rifed
drawers and scattered clothing, in
which was mixed half peck or so Of
the burnt ends of matches. Mr. La
prade is in the greatest grief,
be declares the cause of his poignant
anguish is not SO much the goods he
has lost as it is the ignorance Of the
thieves. For instance, they stole two
umbrellas and two parasOls, which
could easily have been stolen at
church. with much less risk. Then
they took an old hat from the side of
new one, and also one old shoe and
one new one, instead of simply the
new pair. The heaviest blow was
given by their taking an old, WORKOUT
umbrella from beside bran new $3.50
breech. loading shotgun. This caused
Mr.. Laprade to shed tears. SOiled
handkerchiefs, napkins and redolent
hose were thrust into the pockets of
the thieves, and the only article of
value taken was a silver soup-ladle.
