o'Brien's Circus Struck by a Sudden Gale
During Performance at Barry, Illinois
"A General Panic Ensues, but Fortu-
nateiy Without Very Serious Results.
BARRY, ILL.,, Sept. 16.
Ihls city last night witnessed one of the
most thrilling and exciting scenes in all its
history. O'Brien's circus was here, and DUR
ing the evenings performance a frightful
Storm came up from the southwest very
suddenly, sweeping the entire area of
tents before it. The canvas was completely
packed with people, and in the panic that
ensued the widest confusion and excite
ment prevailed. Fathers were in terror
Tor their families, mothers frantic over
their children, and everybody rushing pell-
nell in search of safety. The scene for a
time was most appalling, and, added to the
walls and screams of the terrorized mass,
were the bowling and moaning of the ami
mails, rendering the affair all the more ter
rible. The elephant became frightened and
rushed from the scene, making siraightway
for its car and clearing the way before it.
Animal wagons and cages We're capsized,
and horses tore loose from their tethers,
many OF them fleeing from the place
at full speed. The strangest part of the
do HOOOuy WdS Dduly injured.
Several parties were somewhat bruised bv
falling poles, but aside from this the acct
dent was without serious results, which, in
viewing the scene afterward, seemed al
most miraculous. The damage done to the
circus property was very slight, consisting
principally in the cutting of ropes and tents
by the crowd in their attempts to escape.
The storm lasted only a few minutes but
the wind, rain and hail were most terrific.
About nine p. m. the sky became clear, and
the work of clearing up was inaugurated.
During this the most serious accident of the
evening occurred. In descending the hill
this side of the circus grounds one OF the
large six-horse wagons lett the road and
capsized in the ditch, killing two fine horses
and injuring two men on the wagon. 1t is
reported that one of the men has since died.
The show left here for Mt. Sterling at five
O'Clock this morning in a dilapidated con-
dition, but will 10 doubt get Strengthened
up in time to exhibit tomorrow. This is
said to be their third Experience of the kind
this season.

could be seen of the tramp. Their object
n believed to have been robbery.

Avenomous Breed of Ticks.
NASHVILLE, TENN, Sept Is.

NASHVILLE, TENN, sept Is.
For some time cattle in Davidson County
have been dying in large numbers from
an unknown cause, and it was thought
that they were the victims Of murrain. An
expert who examined a large number of
cattle to-day corrects this impression, say
ing that the animals have been poisoned
by foreign breed Of ticks. The ticks are
frightful-looking insects and were probably
brought to Tennessee by Southern cattle
that W. re brought here to Craze. Some
times cattle viii shed the ticks without
svil results, but in most cases death soon
follows.

BEFORE the Senate subcommittee on
Education and Labor Rev. Heber Newton,
Of New York, testified that the difficulties
met with by labor reformers were the in
temperate habits OF the laboring classes in
cities, and the improper methods to which
labor resorted In endeavoring to accom-
plish its desires. The great want of the
people, he considered, was industrial edu-
cation. Instruction in public schools was
woefully deficient, and its tendency was
entirely one-sided. 1t had given to the
youths Of the country q dislike for manual
labor, which was q very dangerous tend

right over the lines of transportation owned
by individuals. Italso logically follows that
incorporated companies. no matter where
organized, are subject to the same regula-
tive control.
Now if the claim is insisted upon that
the regulatiye right is exercised over trans
portstion in the abstract, can it make any
difference whatever whether it is exercised
over lines owned by individuals or by arti-
fetal persons or any difference where the
latter may have recsiyed its corporate
vitality; in other words, under and by
virtue of the laws of whatsoever other
State it may have been brought into being !?
This is the plain logic of the whole mat
ter. Now should this permissive bill pass
the houses of Congress, will the Legis-
lature, which by the proposed memorial
viii be committed to the doctrine of
exemption where consolidation of lines is
permitted, stand by that doctrine? If,
finally, transportation in the abstract is to
be accepted as the basis of the right sought
to be exercised, why object to the pro-
posed economic consolidation, against which,
standing by itself, there is advanced TO ar
pument
