Austin, one of the most expert and valuable operators in the employ of the Western Union, who is proficient both as a Morse and printing operator, and cooIly in- formed him that he had relieved him from his printing duties and would consign him to Morse duties. Mir. Austin at once told him he would resign, but Zeublfn following up his bulldozing tactics refused to accept his resignation, accused him of having been a traitor to the company during the past week and peremptorily dismissed him. The dis missal, however, was coupled with an offer of reinstatement and 8 few days vacation with passes for himself and wife to New York If he would reconsider his determina- t1on to quit at noon. At noon Mir. Austin handed the following note to the superin- tendent

The steamer Columbia, which arrived on the

 the hills were all in the hands of the revolu- tionists. The resistance was generally fec ble, but the main fort on the hill held out vigorously. The toWnspeople received tho troops with the greatest enthusiasm. Cheer after cheer resounded as Alfaro rode through the streets although he had very narrow escape from death after the firing ceased. He was dismounting from his horse in front of the Columbian consulate when a young oolored man fired at him with rife. The ball grazed him and struck young Oolum. bian who was looking on.

Entertainments

DIR CARVER AND.BUFFALo BILL.
 The ''Wild West'' will be reproduced at Hamilton Park this and to morrow after noons The Hartford Times has this to say of the performance there:
 An exhibition op the Hartford race track yesterday afternoon of 'fwild Indians, D buff faloes, and fancy glass ball shooting, execu- ted ct full gallop, drew crowd of eight or ten thousand, and brought out everything it had promised and in as good style as prac- ticable. People that did not reflect found that the steers and the buffaloes were not savage enough. But on consideration it ap- pears at once that if these animals were in their pristine savage state, 1t might take an hour or more to bring them around to the grand stand, and, if chased, the barriers would certainly not prevent them from flashing among the people. The whole had decided flavor of true western life. One saw what the galloping of the pony ex- press, with it's rapid change of horses, was. The Deadwood coach gave an animated pic ture that communicated d it's excitement to every spectator. The dash of the Indians, the rescue by the cowboys, the shooting, the galloping, stir and life of the scene made so spirited and wonderfully effective an act that the audience could not conceal it's enthus- iaStic participation. The shooting was ad- mirable. Captain Bogardus is famous and kept up his standard, popping off the clay pigeons as fast as they rose. As for pr. Carver he shattered his glass balls by the handful, and Buffalo Bill showed himself, if not so good, at least an extraordinarily good shot. He seemed only second to Carver. It was splendid, when both rode at full gallop, firing as they vent and shattering the blue glass balls which were thrown up to Bill by a cowboy who preceded him, and with which Carver fed himself, throw ing ball, then raising his rife to pierce it. ali at full gallop and in rapid succession, it should be understood. The final hunt was also an animated scene. Buffaloes, steers, Indians, cowboys, firing, everybody and ev- ling of the pursued, mimic fight and cap ture, a rescue-in short scene that needed only the setting of prairie or Rocky mouR- tain canon to make it real-this constituted the materials of the final act.

EGYPT.

Cholera Among the TrOops-RepOrts That
 Carry a Sad Lesson With Them.
 LONDON, July 26.-The despatches re- ceIved at the war office from the English authorities in Egypt create much more alarm for the safety of the troops than has been previously entertained. Among the Cairene battalions which were placed in sani- tary camps some distance from the city and amongst the troops forwarded to Ismailia in readiness for transportation to Cyprus there have been eleven deaths reported, while the admitted number yesterday was only two. These are regarded as the first reports, com ing as do from English military sources only, which can be relied on for entire accuracy. If this be so the mortality of the cholera must have been much greater than has been admitted by the Egyptian authorities, since there are only fourteen cases recorded, of which eleven were fatal. This gives the enormously heavy death rate-of over 7s3 per cent. of persons attacked by the disease. Preparations have been com pleted for the removal of the troops and an order directing their transportation to Cyprus is looked for at once unless the next despatches are more favorable More difficulties have been found in securing com- potent physicians to Egypt than has been admitted, especially for such as will have to remain in active service and whose duties will not be confined to few days of sanitary inspection. It is announced that the sala- ries to be paid will be G1OO a month from the time the commissions are made out ex- elusive of all mess, transportation and other expenses. The first batch of special physi- clans is already in the Mediterranean en route.
 An increase is reported to night in the number of cholera cases existing among the British troops camped near Helonan.

The Dead Elephant.

Prince, the pet elephant of Barnum's show, which died on Monday in Canada, was roughly valued, for showmen's purposes, at $2O, GOO. George Arstingstall, the elephant keeper, who has been twenty-six years in the business, says that Prince, besides being the largest elephant in Barnum's herd, was one of the finest elephants he ever had in charge. He was imported into this country in 1871, and was 28 years of age. Mir. Bailey said that they had travelled so long together that he looked upon him as one of his family. In 1876, when he MT. Bailey) was one of the proprie- tors of Cooper & Bailey's circus. he sailed from San Francisco with Prince for Austral- ia thence they went to Java and Japan ; then through China and India to New Zealand. Thence they travelled to Peru being fifty-two days at sea in sailing ves- sel. From Peru they went to Chili and thence around the Horn, through the Straits of Magellan to Montevideo. Thence they wentto Buenos Ayres and along the coast of Brazil to Bahia and Para. This tour lasted till 1879, three years, during which Prince travelled 76, 900 miles "He was the best traveller by water ever saw" " continued MT. Bailey. ''When we were at sea and a storm came on he would seize stanchon and roll with the ship with all the grace of all old sailor He was highly intelligent animal. If he hadn't kind word for every one he had a kind caress.

Connecticut Temperance Union The

 Picnic at LakeVilIe.
 Ex Cover nor Holley's grove in Lakeville was on Wednesday the scene of quite large gathering of the Connecticut Temperance women and children went from Hartford by special train. and many joined them on the way. At II a. m., half an hour after the grove was reached Prof. D. N. Camp, of New Britain, president of the union took the chair. The Rev. George H. Griffin and M. A. Winter gave cornet duo; the Rev. E. B. Armstrong acted as preceptor in lead ing the songs of tho audience, aided by the comets. The Rev. Mir. Curtis, of Hartford, led in prayer, after which the Rev. George H. Griffin gave an address on ''Siftings and Driftings." He called attention to the con- sessions to be made to people who do not agree with us, and the fallacies to be ex- ploded. He advocated total abstinence for the individual and prohibition, both State and constitutional for the traffic. He en- forced these teachings with stories illustrating the truths presented, receiving the undivid ed attention of the audience. A recess was taken in which ample justice was done to the edibles provided in baskets and boxes carried from the various homes represented. Several speakers were entertained in the homes of tho village. The afternoon service WAS addressed by Mrs. c. Buell., correspond ing secretary of the W. N. O. T. union; the Rev. H. w. Conant, of Providence, R. l., and the Rev Otis J. Range of Guilford. A quartette from Hartford added much to the interest of the occasion.
