Al Wonderful Show.

Whatever there is new in che circus
world WV. Cole is sure to get a generous
proportion of, and many novelties are pos
sessed by him alone. He is always on the
alert, never allowing an opportunity to
slip to secdre genuine attractions that
will interest his patrons and this season
he has put show on the road that fairly
eclipses all former efforts. The mann
moth canvas contains several rings and an
elevated stage. In these nearly sixty diff
ferent acts are performed, all unique in
character and artistic in execution. The
number of wild animals iii the menagerie
is unusually large and well kept, with a
fine herd of elephants, headed by Sampson,
the largest Asiatic elephant in captivity.
Among the special features may be men

let1cs, with Turks, Moors, Egyptians,
spaniards and Mexicans, giving character

Aimee, the human fly, who walks head
downward upon polished plane of wood
at height of sixty feet from the ground,
and without net; the equine wonder,
the horse Blondin, that walks tight-rope

and one of the most remarkable bovine
freaks ever produced, living COW with
two distinct heads, with four horns, four
eyes and two mouths. All these wonders
will be seen here on Thursday, August q.

session. The annual address was made by the
president. Hon. John w. Stevenson. Of Ken
lucky He spoke in favor of advancing

General Council, one from each State, were
chosen. A resolution was passed for the appoint
ment of committee to report what action. if
any, the association should take ''in
view of the contingent necessity for
legislation for the relief of the Supreme
Court of the United States from its overplus of
business" At the evening session David Dud-
ley Field submitted report on judicial delays

Keepin- an Eye on postmasters.

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-the chiefs of the
money order Office and the finance division,
and the chief special agent of the Postofice De-
partment, have been instructed to call the
attention Of the Postmaster general or
First Assistant Postmaster-general to all cases
of delinquency in money matters on the part Of
postmasters. which may come to their notice by
the reports of special agents or otherwise. A
special jacket of melon colored" paper is to be
prepared for such cases, the color being designed
to call attention at once to the Enclosure from
the masses of papers which reach the desks of
the Postmaster general and his assistants.
Heretofore cases of this kind have been allowed
to take the routine course, going, with other
correspondence, to the correspondence clerk s
Office, and, as result, many postmasters who
have failed to keep up their deposits have been
able to retain their offices after their delinquen-
cieS have been reported upon.

the complaint is for an offense which has no

The Street-Car Strike at Memphis.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug, 19.-The difficulty be-
tween the striking streetcar drivers and the
officers of the Memphis City Railway Company
remains in statu quo. There are only two cars
running on the Main-street line. All the cars on
the other lines have been withdrawn. At a CON
ference held this morning, the officers of the
company agreed to restore wages to the former
price of twelve and one-half cents per hour, but
the striking drivers. who now being con-
trolled by the Knights of Labor, demand thir
teen and one third cents per hour. President
Frayser, of the street-car company, says he will
not pay more than twelve and one-half cents,
and claims that the municipal authorities are
powerless to protect the property of the COM
pany. There have been no demonstrations on
the part of the strikers, and attempt made to
injure any of the property of the company
Cars have not been running on any of the
lines since o'clock this afternoon. 1t is thought
an understanding between the strikers and the
company will be arrived at by S o'clock to
morrow morning
1t is understood at this hour (midnightl that
the stri kers have accepted the terms of the com
promise offered by the officers of the street-ra-
way company, and that travel will be resumed on
all lines at o'clock tomorrow morning
The terms agreed upon 10. cents per
hour for the first month, ii cents for the second
and 12k cents for the third and succeeding
months, and 13I cents will be paid to all drivers
who have been in the employ Of the company
for period of one year.

WASHINGTON, Aug. instructions were
to-day mailed from the Postoffice Department to
postmasters ut Offices where the special delivery
under the new ten-cent-stamp law is to be estab-

Ohio, and a few other States have been urging
the Postmaster general to establish special deliv-
cry at a number of places where the census of
1880 did not show the requisite 1000 population,
but where censuses taken since have developed
that number This afternoon it was decided
that special deliveries shall be established only
upon the basis of the federal censuses and that
cities not showing 1000 population in 1880. must
wait until after tho report of the census of 1890,
even though it is proven that they have the
number of people required by law.
