The Circus.

O'Brien's circus has come and gone.
The verdict of the crowd is that it
was one of the shabbicst shows out
side ever i'll town, but that they gave
fair ring show. The menagerie was
mere speck, while the grand elephant
show was compressed into one animal
of medium size. Abont 20OO people
witnessed the afternoon performance,
and half rs many in the evening.
Everything was orderly and well
managed about the show. Five of
their horses and camel were seriously
burned in car Oh the Lake road while
going to Morrisville the night of the
3D.. The report that the train was not
stopped in proper time is false, and if
the men who had the horses i'll charge
had been attending to their business
the accident might not have happened.

"ANOTHER HAIR BREADTH ESCAPE AT

As the man reached the cross

and the first he was aware of, both he
and the train were at the crossing at

thought and GOODNESS he gave his horse
one sudden pull and brought him side
ways with TIE track, and the train
swept by, leaving the mans wagon
minus one broken shaft" Only few

CURED ut this blind crossing by Miller

Serious Accident from Pooling.

Fourth of July morning Andrew
Morse and Willie Stevens of this place,
two lads about fifteen years old, were
seriously injured by the premature
explosion of a small cannon. The
Morse boy put charge of powder in
the gun and then some mammoth caps
and wadding, and with hammer and
ram-rod undertook to lamp it down
when the explosion took place, the
charge taking effect largely in An
drew's face, putting ont one eye and
badly injuring the other, cutting a
hole through one cheek and driving
splinter up under one eye. The Stew
ems boy was loading another gun near
by and was struck in the side of the
face by some flying missile, which
scratched and bruised his cheek and
one eye considerably bnt probably no
serious consequences will result from
his injuries. The Morse boys injuries
are very serious. Another warning,
which will not he needed, against the
use of powder and deadly missiles and
explosives so common i'll these days.

says:
"Your duties are confined TO the election

and the United States have no power TO
regulate or supervise their appointment or
election.
The following shows what we said yes.
tcrdsy-that there are votng-places for
State elections aud other voting-places for
congressman even when both sets OF ecc.
tons are held on the same day. We COM

Had the ballot-box in which the votes for

United States supervisors and deputy mar.
sbsls would have had no more right 10 SUI
pervisc or witness the proceedings at that
poll than they have when the ballot
box for presidential electors is placed
elsewhere. The supervisors will be
present at the Federal polling-place,
not because the presidential electors are
there TO be voted for, but because q rep
resentative in Congress il there to be
voted for. They have no connection with
the election OF presidential electors, and
cannot, without gross violation OF the law,
interfere In any way with the managers In

vote for Mr.. BLAINE. dIe Is a strong pro-
iocionis,. and the reasons he gave Tor The
determination he had reached were cnti-
tied to respectful consideration. lie was
iml,,cd with the idea that protection could
be best suhseryed by voting the Repubii'
csn ticket. In a conversation which lasted
pcyhsps an hour we went over the
situation with him as far rs pos
sibIc presenting the fact that has been
frequently presented both in our columns
and the columns OF the Independent ReDub-
lican papers OF the North. that not only il
# true that the tariff is not the issue. but that
unless the people yindicatc their right to
rule the country may never have ch1nce
to divide on economic questions and a5atc
any abuses that exist In the tariff. We
showed him as We best knew how that the
fight was against Capitalization and for in-
dividuai freedom; that the question OF
tariff was matter for the cOnSidera-
ton OF Congress. and that Democrats
aud Independent Republicans alike
whether frec-traders or prOtectOni>ts-
considered it their duty to sub
ordinate every other consideration to
the work Of bringing about administrative
reform aud OF rebuking corruption. Sub
sCquently this gentleman returned to the
Office and stated that, having Thought the
whole matter over carefully, be was con-
WINGED that the tariff was not the issue ;
that il was his duty to stand with
the people OF his city, and that
he would vote for CLEVELAND; and
he will vote for CLEVELAND. While
not changing his views in respect
Of protection, he liz convinced that the best
interests Of the whole people demand in
this crisis the election OF CLEVELAND, and
has the manliness to say so. We commend
his example to any man who may entertain
similar views to those he had entertained,
and who in the rush OF business has not
reasoned out the situation in all Its bear
