He Goes Crashing Through Stage and
Stampedes n Lot of Actors.
PHILADELPHIA, October 29.--An Irish
gentleman with red artificial whisliers, four
men with burnt. .corked faces, dashing
young woman in white satin and several
other curiosities came flying cut of the back
windows and doors of Forepaugh's Dime
Museum last night. From the subterra.
mean depths under the stage Of the theater
came a series of the most distraeting cries,
mingled with hair-raising roars. The un-
earthly noise was made by Adam
Forepsugh's clown elephant Pickaninny
who had dropped through the stage and
gone crashing into the green room, where
the actors were waiting for the curtain to
60 up on the next entertainment Yhe oc-
cupants of the green room thought that the
walls of the theatre had fallen in and fed
wildly to the street. The surprised and
frightened elephant lay on his beam ends
in the middle Of pile of broken boards
and tattered scenery He had fallen ten
feet and he made no effort to eXtricate him
self, but lay where he landed, roaring in a
way that aroused the neighborhood. He was
pulled out and taken up stairs to the stage,
and, as an elephant expert said that the
animals cuts and bruises were not serious,
the beast was put through the performance

YANETON, ID. t., October 2S.-The st.
Helena (Neb,) stage driver brings mcagre
particulars of bloody tragedy near St He
lena to-day and last night. His story is
that John Phillips postmaster at St. Hele-
ma and deputy sheriff of Cedar county at
tempted to arrest Dane, name unknown,
for burning a number of stacks of hay and
grain. The Dane resisted and then fed,
with Phillips close upon him. A running
fight was kept up during a six-mile
cLase, and many shots were
exchanged without effect. Finally
the Dane was run into his house, where ne
barricaded himself against attack and pre-
pared to fight. Phillips was joined by other
parties and an assault was made upon the
stronghold. In the melee Phillips was shot
and another man slightly wounded. The
Dane beat off the attacking party. Phillips
was taken to St. II elena in dying condi-
ton and was very low at last accounts.
Shortly after his arrival the people of St.
Helena were appraised of the bloody work
and Of the condition of their townsman. An
organization OF citizens was formed and
proceeded to the house of the Dane took
him to St. Helena, fully identified him and
then hanged him to tree. These are the
brief particulars of the affair as confirmed

An Address That Settles the Question in
CleVeland's Favor.
New YORK, October % Exclusive =
An address, dated at Troy, has been issued
to the workingmen of the State of New
York BY Walter n. Thayer, President of the
State Trades Assembly. In the address
Mr.. Thayer reviews the progress made by
labor in legislative enactments during the
past two years, and congratulates working
men upon the gratifying result of their
labors in this direction He doubts if the
twelve-hour car conductor and drivers bill
could have stood the test of a judicial analy
sis. The benefits sought to be gained by
the mechanics lien law are, he thinks, prac-
tically attained by that making laboring
men preferred creditors in assignments. "It
is my sincere belief" he says, that in Gov.
Cleveland labor has true and tried friend.
Our trade organizations represent all shades
ofpoitics; yet it is my firm conviction that
the Democratic party has done more for us
than the Republican party"

Lad of Thirteen Kills One a Few Years
Oider-Cause Of the Murder.
New YORK, October 29.--The first fatal
adray growing out of the ante-election ex.
citement in Brooklyn occurred last night.
Michael Byrnes, aged Is, the leader of
gang of boys in the Fourth ward, was
stabbed and killed by a playmate, Chauncey
St. Martin, aged Is, of No. Ill Tillary
street, whom he was bullying and hectoring
about bonfire a number Of boys had start
ed in Lawrence street, near Hillary street.
A Democratic parade was going on in that
part of the city. While playing about the
fire Byrnes demanded cent from St. Mar
tin, saying he had four and only wanted
one with which to make a purchase. He
had frequently extorted money from the
boys in that part of the city, of which he
was sort of leader by his size and strength.
Refused the Money.
St. Martin refused him the money and
Bvrnes became more abusive than before
and threatened to throw him into the fire.
To escape him st. Martin ran away and
Bvrnes started in pursuit, chasing him to
the steps of his house. There the pursued
boy stood at bay, and when Byrnes caught
up with him, turned on him and stabbed
him in the chest. The keen blade pierced
to the heart, and the wounded boy fell to
tho sidewalk without werd. His assailaut
looked at him with Mortified eyes, and the
other boys who had followed to see fight
after moments hesitation picked up their
injured comrade and started to bear him to
his home, at Prince and Hillary streets but
he died on the way without speaking.
Detective Chambers arrested the mur.
derer and took charge Of the white-handled
pocketknite with which the fatal deed was
done. Chauncsy sobbed as if his heart
would break when told that his companion
was dead. He told the coroner that Byrnes
often abused him and he Iied to escape
him. He was mad but he had no thought
of killing hin when he drew ont his knife.

Variety OF Opinions Expressed as to the

CoLUMBrs, o., October 29-There con-
tinues to be much discussion over the de-
'cision of the Supreme Court on the Scott
law. Dealers in malt liquors rejoice over
the decision, while the sellers Of distilled
liquors are not so enthusiastic. Nat
uraliy there is considerable growing
on the part Of taxpayers who
will have to pay the $4,000 debt which
the decision creates in Franklin county.
All the papers in the city except the Times
condemn the decision, Dispatches from
Toledo say the brewers claim the decisioh
will give the State to Cleveland, On the
other hand, the Prohibitionists, Of whom
there are many in that city, say the Prohibi.
ton vote Of the State will now 60 to Blaine.
Specials received from fifty or sixty points,
including Dayton, Springfield, Urbana, Lon

Youngstown, Akron, Canton, Mansfield,
Fostoria, Defiance, Newark, GAINESVILLE,
Massillon and Steubenville show about an
even difference Of opinion as to its effect
on the Presidential election. All agree
that temperance will be a factor in Ohio

A Railroad Case-PoliticaI Pother and
Personals.
On Saturday evening last the up train OR
the Ohio River railroad, put of this place
large lot of household goods, Consigned to
one, Geo. Gulley, of Bellaire, Ohio. The
goods are still there, or at least as many as
many as have not been stolen or broken, but
the wet weather has ruined them. Webardly
know who should be held responsible, but
presume it should be the railroad company,
as they have no depot or building Of any
kind here in which to store goods. The
rain yesterday rather dampened the
enthusiasm of our Republican friends
on the occasion of COTS address.
It has been discovered by an examination
of the records that certain Republican,
who has always been prominent in political
circles here has been voting for the past
twenty-five years without papers. 1t will
be safe TO say he will be watched on Tues
day next. The efforts of the Republicans

A Young Man and Maiden Go Sailiug Into
Gale and Meet Their Death.
JAcKsoS1IILE, Fla, October 29,-For
three days past this city has been in anxiety
over the fate Of Mr.. Hal B. Smith, promi.
nent young jeweller of this city, and Miss
Alice George, beautiful brunette from
Mobile, Ala, who was visiting one of our
best families here. On Friday morning Mr..
Smith and Mr.. Serrell Hosmer had arranged
to take Misses Alice and Annie George,
sisters, out for an early mornisg sail and a
few hours fishing on the St. Johns.
A Storm Arising.
They left the club house boat yard at
seven o'clock with very stiff breeze blow
ing into a gale. Smith started out first
with Alice, sailing his own boat while
Hosmer employed inexperienced boatman
to accompany him with Annie, carrying a
roHboat along in case of accident. Smith,
who was very daring youth, delighted at
the weather spread every sail and gaily
waved goodby as his boat shot out into the
river like an arrow, with the gale increasing
eeery moment Hosmer and his party had
only been out short while when the col
ored boatman decided that it was unsafe to
remain out in such gale, and, when oppo
site Arlington, they tackled in toward shore
10 make change into the rowboat
A Last Glimpse.
Just as they touched the shore, Annie
George remembered to have looked out in
the river, which is two miles wide at this
point. Smith and Alice were mile out,
going like the wind. Alice, with the tiller
rope wrapped around her white arm,
sat jauntily in the stern. Smith turned,
pulled off his coat and threw it over Alice's
shoulder. At this point Annie and Hosmer
were occupied in making the change to the
small boat When they looked up a mo-
ment later Smith and his boat had disap-
peared from view. Hosmer and Annie re.
turned to the city and gave the alarm. The
river WAS searched and dragged for miles
up and down in vain.
Their Sad Fate.
To-day Smiths body, mutlated beyond
recognition, was found washed ashore
nearly two miles from where they were last
seen. Alice George still lies at the bottom
Of the river with the tiller rope wrapped
around her white arm.
