 A CHILD OF THE PRAIRIE.
 small audience witnessed the above play at Carll's Opera House last evening and was much pleased with the performance. The play is of the melodrama order and illus trates border life in an unobjectionable way. the plot and action being similar to many others The introd uction of the trained horses was an excellent feature and the laugh-provoking characters did some ex- ceIlent variety work. A repetition is an- nounced for this evening, and those who are interested in this kind of play will find it we'll worth attending.
 AMERICAN THEATER.
 The Leonzo Brothers with their trained dogs had an enthusiastic reception last even ing, the theater being packed to the doors, and full fifteen minutes before the time for opening the show the ticket office had to be closed, as the capacity of the hall was even then taxed to the utmost. After @ short but very pleasing olio in which the popular com edians Billy Williams and Press Eidridge and the pleasing sonbrette Lou Sanford gave a very Iauehable sketch ,and Levanion and Mo. Cormiek did some good work on the horizon tai bars, the curtain was rung up for the drama "Avenged, or the dogs of the Sierras The play was finely mounted, the different acts revealing succession of fine scenery which Manager Eldridge had had painted expressly to give brilliant effect to the stirring play. The acting of the dogs Tiger and Lion was significant in it's revelation of inc possibilities which may be attained in the development of canine intelligence. The clever acting of the Leonzo Brothers lent fo-ce to the drama, end after each act they were carAd before the curtain by the aud. ience, which was unusually liberal In Its ap- plause. The same bill will be rendered ev- cry evening this week and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.

THE COLOSSAL SCHEMES
or a Lunaf1c who Will Want TO
Kill a President Next,


WASHINGTON CITY, Sept. 24.-William
Beach Hazelton, a gentleman who has at
different times occupied considerable space
in the newspapers, was sent to the Govern
ment Insane asylum Monday. Mr. Hazel
tons dementia is of a peculiar char
acter. He imagines that he is a
man of unbounded wealth, and that he has
the support of many capitalists. Some
of the schemes which he has projected within
the last few weeks are of an extraordinary
character. He endeavored to engage promi-
uent architect to prepare plans for seven
story business block opposite the treasury de-
partment, stating that the money was in
bank. He endeavored to induce public men
to allow him to write campaign speeches
for them. He had a project for circn-
latirg campaign documents by millions,
which he unfoldcd last week to the secretary
of the Republican committee. He endeav-
ored to induce the leader of the Marine band
to bring out an opera which he has prepared.
Sunday night he forced himself upon the
stage Of summer theatre after the perform
ance, and insisted upon singing some airs
from his opera. Earlier in the season he
planned a maSs-meeting at Cornwall-on-the
Hudson. Special trains we're ordered, speak
ers engaged, platforms built but there
was no money. A few years ago he started
The Baltimore Times without any capital
which collapsed after a weeks experiment
Within week he has caused the arrest of a
pension agent here at midnight, claiming thai
he had obtained money of a former employer
under false pretenses. The former employer
the next day disavowed responsibility fol
the arrest. Hazelton threatened the polict
justice with dismissal, claiming he had q
cousin who was soon to marry into the presi
dents family

Fatal Railway Accident.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, Sept A-An extra
freight train on the Hannibal & St Joseph
railroad, east bound, in charge of Conductor
Homer and Engineer Gildy, collided at /
O'Clock Sunday night with the second section
Of train No. 81, in charge of Conductor
Rozen and Engineer Lewis NJ Smith The
accident occurred at Brush Creek, where in
the wreck of four years ago nine persons lost
their lives. The scene of the collision is
a ravine, the track on both sides being down
grade to a bridge, so that both trains must
have been running at high rate of speed
when they met Engineer Smith, Of Hanni.
bal, who was on the west-bound train, was
killed, his body being mutilated beyond rec
ignition. Charles Workman and Fielder
Wheeler, brakemen on the same train, were
also killed outright The broken cars were
piled on top Of each other, scattering the
contents in every direction blockading the
track. Engineer Gildy, who was injured by
flying splinter, was the only one on the
east-bound train whose wounds are serious
The bodies of Smith, Workman, and Wheeler
were brought here from the wreck and taken
to their homes. Smiths life was insured fol
5000 for 5000 in the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, and for 81 900 in the
knights of Pythias endowment The re
sponsibility for the collision is said to rest
with the train dispatcher.

Wha,,s Eeeomc of uuDn,

NEW YORK, Sept 24.-Rumors affecting
the standing of large financial institution
Monday were traced to the fact that As
sistant Secretary Mum, of the Farmers
Loan and Trust company, was not at his desk
as usual The officers of the company stated
that Mum was not in position to abstract
any funds or securities of the institution, and
that he had money of his own on deposit
which he had drawn. They did not know
the reason of his absence, but supposed he
had been unexpectedly called out of town.
Frank Mum, the missing assistant secre-
tary of the Farmers Loan & Trust COM
pany, informed Mr.. Luke, one of the Trust
companys attaches, at 5 p IN. on Saturday
last, that he was going to the Sheepshead
Bay races, and Immediately left the bank,
since when nothing has been heard from him.
He always carried a large amount of money
with him

Democrats may be suspected of being
influenced by partisan feeling and interest
in dealing with the -Mulligan cor
respondence, says the Missouri RepuJj-
can. Prejudice against an opponent is
frailty which is human. Mr.. Blaine is a
republican and his leading western jour>
naIistic support is given by the Chicago
Tribune and the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
What they have said of the republican
nominee cannot be supposed to have been
inspired by partisan interest or prejudice
of any kind. The Chicago Tribune in
1875, these same Mulligan letters having
just come to light, said:
Mr.. Blaine made curious 'vindica>
ton yesterday He read fifteen of the
eighteen letters he took from Mulligan.
These letters, instead of being vindica~
ton, seem to pile evidence mountain high
that Mr.. Blaine, ever since he has been in
congress, has been an active and extensive
operator in wild cat railroads. In one of
the letters he refers to decision made by
himself as speaker, in which he ruled out
9 proposed amendment to the Fort Smith
and Little Rock railroad bill, which
amendment would have defeated the OBJ
Ject sought by the company. His worst
enemies have not been able to fix
upon him the character of gambler and
speculator in the securities of ouestiora-
BILE corporations as he has done in these
letters, all of which were written. as he
says, in secrecy and confidence They
(the republicans) knew him as LOBBYIST
before he entered congress, seeking con
tracts for the supply of arms. They knew
him while in congress and while speaker
as the inside friend of wild cat corpora
tions ruling as speaker to save their bills
as claiming reward for his official action,
and as engaged IN selling the WORTHLESS:
bonds of such corporations, receiving
large gratuities therefor"
This is what democrats now say of Mr.
Blaine. They say it in substantially the
same words. On May 90, 1884, the Glo6t
Democrat said of Mr.. Blaine:
Mr.. Blaine is an unclean man and the
people will not have him. He stands self
convicted of prostituting the high offices
he has held to build up private fortune
of cohabiting with corruption for dishon.
est money. His record would damn him.
Democrats have said nothing worse
than this of Mr.. Blaine; indeed, they could

Although the gravest charges have
been made against Mr.. James G. Blaine,
not only the democracy, but by the clean,
honest, intelligent men of his own party,
those men whom the Blaine organs love
to dub Pharisees, dudes, etc, there is not
one single Blaine organ that has even at
tempted to disprove those charges. They
have denied them, it is true, but the evi
dence of their truth and of Blaine's ras>
cality has been so overwhelming that the
organs have been entirely pOwerless tc
controvert it. Instead of trying to de-
fend Blaine's record they quietly ignore
the whole business and rake in the gutter
for fifth to throw at the democratic nom
inee. This is policy, however that is
bringing forth fruit of unexpected variety
that is making the propagators of it aw
fully sick just at the present time.

until $50 in the morning. He partook Of a
light breakfast, and from until the hour OF
