COLES CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE
A Good show Attended BY the Usua
Large Crowds.

From the Omaha Bee.
At an early hour yesterday morning the
farmers and their families began to arrive
in this city and by 9 O'Clock the streets
presented a busy sight. By 10 o'clock
the city proper had turned out by thou
sands and thronged Farnam and Douglas
streets, making it almost impossible for
pedestrians to pass upon the sidewalks.
There was but one thing that they were
all looking for and that was Coles circus
street parade. At fifteen minutes past
10 the curiosity of the immense crowd
was fully satisfied for the parade put in an
appearance.
The street parade of Coles show this
season is fully up to that of former years.
The large and magnificent band wagon,
which headedithe parade, was drawn by
one nair of horses and eight camels.
The camels were well broken and were as
nicely driven as if they had been horses,
Following the band came a long pro-
~cession of cages. The sides of many of
them had been lifted, enabling the by
ISLANDERS to gaze upon the animals as they
passed. One cage which attracted gener-
al attention contained four lions, all males,
and they were magnificent animals. In
their midst, as ]unconcerned as if he were
seated in a drawing room, sat Mr.. Conk-
ling, the king of lion tanners. The organ
and tableaux car, a beautiful thing which
was procured at a cost of $1,000, was
drawn by five large elephants. In the
procession also was Sampson, the largest
elephant in America, weighing over 49,
600 pounds. Toward the end of the pro-
cession was a second brass band. The end
Of the gorgeous pageant was q steam cal
Hope, which played several choice selec,
tons.
As the procession wendell its way to the
circus grounds, on Eighteenth street, the
crowd followed, and by the time the last
wagon had reached the ground, at least
1000 people were there. A free exhibi
ton of rope walking and singing wa!
given.
By 1870 in the afternoon the street
cars, hacks and c%onveyances of all kinds
headed in the direction of the circui
grounds were filed to Overlooking with
anxious people. The street cars were il
reality a sight to behold. People wert
hanging upon the sides and ends ever,
place where a foothold could be gotten.

A Pudding sn tho Chair.

A paragraph of the news, embody-
ing droll Thanksgiving incident at
dinner table in Wyndham, leads
DR.. G. B. Dyman, of this city, to recall
similar occurrence in that neighbor-
hood II long time ago-before he was
born, and he is now eighty. In the
original incident (Which was true
story the "head of table J" a lawyer,
while standing to carve the turkey,
found a need of more room, and set n
big dish of hot pudding in his own
chair. The company, seeing the
chance for fun, diverted his mind from
the pudding by Introducing q lively
theme that set them all a laughing
and when Mr.. Carver sat down, no
sat in the hot pudding. The later
version--whether a new and real Incl
dent or an improvement on the old
one-is that at the recent Thanksgiving
in Wyndham the carver found the
turkey a tough one to unioint, and, j,
and after tugsing Il while at it, he
made more room by clapping Il big
dish of hot pudding into his vacant
chair, and kept on hacking at the
turkey, his energetic but ill.directed
labor finally lauding the 0bdurate fowl
in the lap of a lady at the table, and
spattering the table cloth with grease
and gravy The carver, aghast, and
ruefully exclaiming: Now I've done
it" weakly subsidized into the pudding
and found he had indeed done 1t

MILK PRODUCERS
In Conveniion-The Price of Milk Under
Discussion.

BosToN, Sept. l6.
The annual meeting of the Milk Producers
Association was held today for the purpose of
fixing price at which milk shall be delivered
TO contractors in Boston for six months to
begin October LIST. There was considerable
discussion and an effort was made TO make
a heavy increase in price, one reason for
which, as was urged. ives that the hay and
fodder for cattle has advanced materially in
price, A vote was taken which resulted in
heavy majority in favor of 43 cents for an
eight quart can as the price and it was so
ordered. A committee was appointed to no
tify the contractors of the action. The latter
were invited into the convention and present
ed their side of the question. They stated
that they had fixed on 40 cents as the price
to be paid and hoped that figure would be
agreed on for six months. A desultory dis
cussion followed. during which the contrac-
tors left the hall An adjournment was had
until September 25th to learn the contractors 8
decision, and if no agreement can be reached
take steps to form the Massachusetts Dairy
Company.

SKIERNIwIcE. Russia. Sept. l6

SKIERSIwIcE. Russia, Sept. l6.
Late yesterday afternoon the three Emper-
ors met at Skierniwice. at the chateau
famous as being present from Napoleon to
Marshal De Davoust, and again passing to
the Emperor. During the trip from Warsaw
thither, the railway was so guarded that no
person was allowed to stand within 800 yards
of the track. The Emperors of Germany and
Austria entered the main avenue of the park
close to the station, and passed the platform
on which 200 children were singing an orig
inal chorus composed for the occasion. and
joined the Car inside. The avenue leading
to the chateau was lined with flowers and
fountains. The chateau is a small, insignifi-
cant looking building, and has two wings.
Its apartments are of limited size. An en-
trance hall, which is hung with gobelin tapes
try, leads along an open gallery to a large
room, simply furnished. and occupied by the
children of the imperial family. To the right
of the gallery is door opening on suites of
apartments reserved for the Emperors of
Austria and Germany. They each consist of
a drawing room, hung and carpeted in blue,
a bathroom and bedroom upholstered in
green, the furniture being in satin. On the
opposite side of the gallery are a number of
less ornamentally furnished rooms. An iron
staircase leads to the apartments of the En-
peror and Empress of Russia on the second
floor. The suite includes large sitting room
lined with bookcases, having a covered bal
cony looking out on the park, drawingroom,
bathroom, a study, a large bedroom and a
billiard room, the walls of which are covered
with trophies of antique arms. The dining
room is decorated in Russian style.
The three ministers, NJ. De Giers for
Russia. Prince Bismarck for Germany, and
Count Kalnoky for Austria, came also. Their
presence shows that the Emperors did not
meet merely to shake hands. but to pledge
their words as more judicious way of sane
tioning ministerial arrangements than putting
them on paper.
The Emperor Francis Joseph granted an
audience to Herr Tisza, the Hungarian min
lister, just before his departure for Skierni-
vice.
1t is reported in Vienna that one object
which will engage the attention of the three
Emperors is the advisabilty of partial re-
duction of the great standing armies which
are now maintained.
LATER-After the greeting at the railway
station yesterday afternoon at Skierniwice,
the Emperor William drove to the palace
with the Czarina. They were followed by
the Gear and Emperor Francis Joseph The
right hand side of the palace was assigned to
the Emperors of Austria and Germany. The
other side is occupied by the Gar and Gar
ina.

THE FIRST MEETING
OF Commission To Examine into the Best
Means of Promoting Commercial
Relations Between the United
States and Central and
South America.

NEW York, Sept Is.
The commission appointed by the presi-
dent in accordance with act of Congress to
examine into the best means of promoting
commercial relations between the United
States and Central and South America held
the first meeting at the Custom House to-
day.
Geo. II. Sharpe presided. Several gentle
men representing business firms here and
other places we're present.
Gen. Sharpe said the commission requested
suggestions from business men and he regret
ted there were so few in attendance. The
commission would adjourn to the 29th inst. to
give merchants an opportunity to be present.
In the meanwhile suggestions will be received
from those then present.
Chas. NJ. Aver of c. NJ. Aver & Co. said
some investigation should be made of the
causes leading to exclusion of our merchants
in favor of French and English merchants.
II. Il. Hamilton said American manufacturers
were not so accommodating as others in ship
ping the desired amount of certain articles
nor did they give as long credit.
A paper manufacturer said the fact that it
takes about 20 hours longer for goods to
reach South America from New York than
from Europe is a drawback. Beside, Ameri-
can merchants have to compete with poorly
paid European labor.

MCCLELLAN MURDER TRIAL.
Evidence Introduced That Conan was
Insane When he COMMITTED
The Deed.
New LONDON. Conn Sent. l

NEW LONDON, Conn. Sept. 10.
In the COnant- Mcclellan murder trial to-
day, the evidence was introduced which tends
to substantiate the claim of defense, that Co.
nant was insane when he killed Mcclellan,
made by the adulterous acts of his wife.
jerome COnant, brother OF the accused, testi-
fed that he knew of criminal intimacy of
Mcclellan and his brothers wife, since 1878;
at that time he was boarding with his brother.
Jerome had little feeling towards Franks
wife and resolved to tell Frank of his wifes
infdelity. On the llth of August, 1888, Je-
rome unbosomed himself and Frank went
home broken hearted man. He charged his
wife with unfaithfulness and she confessed
her guilt, which had q terrible effect on Con-
ant, so much SO, that his tortured and changed
countenance was noticeable TO his acQuain-
tenances and the neighbors testified to the
unusual noise in Conants house on that
August night. They heard the groans of the
husband and cries of the wife together, with
disjointed sentences of mutual reproach.
Jerome's evidence was of a revolving charac-
ter. The opinion has been strong against
the accused since the time of the killing, bnt
it is now on the wane. Today was the first
time 1t was really known that Conant had the
slightest cause, real or imaginary, to take
McClellan's life.
