RUNNING RIOT,
Several Exciting Squabblcs at the
Circus Grounds.

Yesterday afternoon about the close of
the show there was a lively time at the
circus ground and there was so many
rows going on at the same time that the
mayor telephoned to the central station
for all the police to come down, and re.
ports of stabbing, shooting and clubbing
speedily went up and down the streets.
The facts as nearly as they could be
learned were that there were several dis
turbances and fights, but none of them
very serious. One of them is
said to have originated in a
peculiarly funny Inc Coroner
Council, who is also an undertaken, was
looking at the giant in the side-show, and
passing jocose remarks. Finally he
asked the giant if he talked English.
The giant, who is an Ehglishman, an.
swered in German that he did not un.
derstand, and Connell, LOOKING him from
top to toe, made q facetious remark, per.
petrating a pun on his undertaking bust
ness, saying, "You're a big son-of a-gun,
but | can lay you out" Some of the bys
ISLANDERS Understood that he said "If you
were dead, / could lay you out" but
however this might be, the
punishment due to a man who
gets off q pun followed. The
giants not knowing what Connell's bust.
ness was were mad, and was going to beat
Connell up. Then some of the other
showmen ordered Cornell out. He re-
fused to go, and a lively little scrimmage
followed, but no serious results occurred,
and peace was soon restored.
la the meantime five husky rail
readers in front of one of the candy
stands got into some difficulty with the
candy butchers. Words led to blows,
and soon there was a lively melee in
which eight or ten were con-
cerned. In the fight one of the
candy men, named Miller, was
stabbed in the neck by a knife in the
hands of one of the outsiders. The
wound did not prove to be a very SO.
rious one. The fellow who did the cut
ting started on the run, followed by
others who chased him into the cook
tent, where a large number of the
circus men were eating supper. In the
rush through the cook tent a table at
which the men sat eating was overturned
and as the hot coffee and food went into
their laps they jumped up and joinedin the
rumpus. The fellow who did the cutting
was thumped some but managed to es-
cape, and after a little furry among those
left peace was again established.
There was also two minor fights in the
big tent during the concert, the difficult
ties being between the lemonade peddlers
and outsiders. The police had to inter
fere, and In one case a revolver was
drawn by an officer. So determined
we're the showmen that the officer should
not arrest one, a lemonade man for
pounding q boy, who had angered him in
some way.

UNDER THE CANVAS.
Forepaugh's Great Show Captures
h Dollars and the Cake.

Yesterday was a perfect one for a cir
Gus day. Bright skies, hot enough to
make the lemonade vendors rich, calm
enough to quiet the nervous ones who al
ways shrek at the least tlutter Of canvas.
The parade made by Forepaugh in the
forenoon was pronounced by all as far
superior to any ever made in this city.
There were over 200horses in the parade,
twenty-five elephants, a drove of camels
and innumerable other features. The
streets were packed with people, and the
usual fakirs and street vendors found a
rich harvest. There was the fellow
selling little boxes of pens and
giving away chances to draw fabulous
amount of wealth. But the worst fraud
of the whole was a side show which was
allowed to make its stand right in Main
street, alongside of that solid financial
institution, officer and Pusey's bank. 1t
was "only a dime to see theonly genuine
mermaid ever captured alive" That
fellow, with a big fat woman as an outside
advertisement, made more money than
the bank. The mermaid might have
been captured alive, but il was evident
that she, or it, or whatever it was, was
captured long ago, and died soon after
being captured. 1t, or she, was very,
very dead. A sort of a dead give-awa
Anyone desiring to have a mermaid can
easily have n by getting astufied fish ard
getting a head and body of putty, and
then setting it to soak in a tank. But
this was nothing to do with ~Forepaugh.
His show drew a crowd at the big
tents, with a capacity for 10, 900 people,
were well filled. The m~enagerie proved
excellent. The white elephant excited
much curiosity, and while not 30 white
as many expected it would be, yet there
were some interesting points of difference
between that and the ordinary elephant,
and 30 strong was the contrast that it
proved itself a great curiosity.

and attended to all the wants and wishes
in making the entertainment pleasant,
The only fault with the show was that
there was too much of it. Two rings and
a great stage between, divided the at.
tentlon until the observer could not tell
what he was looking at, and in trying to
see a little of everything he saw nothing.
The show not only captured the crowd
but pleased it,

two square yards of ceiling in the room
below. A tall stove stood in the corner
OF the room, and a copper tea kettle that
sat on its top was sent rafting to the
floor. A picture of the Orawaupam hotel
hung in the corner suspended by a cop
per wire. The wire was burned in two
where it crossed the nail, the glass over
toe picture was shattered into a thousand
pieces, and the frame was hurled
across the room. A glass lamp full of
kerosene oil was sent flying into the coal
scuttle from its place on the mantel; but
the lamp did not break nor did the oil
ignite.
Flashing down the stove leg the light
ming penetrated the carpeted floor, and
in it's descent took with 1T a square yard
of plastering from the parlor ceiling.
Mrs. Margaret A. Mills, an inmate of the
house, was sitting on the sofa reading
when the plastering fell. She felt no
sensation whatever, but Jaw, as it were,
fire playing over the pieces of plaster as
they lay upon the carpet. 1t soon dis
appeared and she went to another part
of the house, remote from the rooms
through which the lightning had entered,
and told Mrs. Marshall and Mr.. and
Mrs. Shellman, who were sitting together
on the second floor, what she had seen.
All three said that they had seen the
lightning playing about their feet; Mrs.
Shellman sustained a considerable
shock, which nearly Frustrated
her, and Mr.. Shellman felt that
his feet and legs were benumbed
and he was unable to move for a time.
Mrs. Marshall felt nothing peculiar. The
servant girl, who was in the kitchen on
the first floor, felt her feet tingle and she
thought they were ''going to sleep"
Mrs. Mills. who is a well preserved wo-
man of forty, said she saw nothing like a
ball and that there was no explosion.
The lightning seemed like flames of
white fire, covering what it touched. The
gas became dim Immediately after the
shock, but no globes on the chandeliers
were affected. Jack Mckay, as insur-
ance agent, was driving past the house at
the time, and saw the lightning strike
the chimney. His horse seemed to be
much frightened, and was almost unman-
ageable.
The damage to the house, which is
handsomely furnished, is shout $500.

A Great Moral Show,

Detroit Free Press.
Two or three weeks ago, a pedestrian
who was passing a house on Riopelle
street, heard the sounds of a terrific
struggle going on, and as he looked in at
the front door a boy about 13 years of
age, who sat in the hall, quietly OBJ
served:
"It's only the the old folks, having a
little rows. stranger"
"Do they have en- often2" asked the

the door here and charge ten cents ad-
mission fee. It's worth the money to
see a family riot like this, and you might
as well make a few dollars as to let the
chance slip"
The boy said he would think of it, and
the pedestrian waited until the man had
choked the woman as black as a plum
and then passed on. Yesterday he
CHANGED that way again, and there was
another row going on; and the same boy
sat on the doorstep.
"I.l see the show" said the man, as

A Mysterious Case.

Yesterday afternoon a fellow was ar
rested on suspicion of being a confidence
man. He gave his name as Tom Ed.
wards, but had a telegram on his person
TO VIM. Daily, about going to Kings
man, Kansas. 1t was discovered that he
had a little girl with him, aged about
twelve years, whom he had left at the
Metropolitan hotel. The girl on being
interviewed said that the man wa not
her father, but that her mother who lives
in Sioux City, told her to
go with HIM, and that he would send her
back to Sioux City to-day. He had told
her to call him ''papa." They had a
room together at the hotel, and he had
bought her a new dress and a new pair of
shoes. The man is being kept In Jail for
further investigation, and Officer Bees
wick took charge of the girl, who says her
name is Petrie Nell Lebourd. 1t appears
to be a case of abduction or seduction,
and will be investigated closely.
