London advioes represent the Australian
wool trade in q very unpromising con-
dition. The drop in price exceeds IS per
cent from last year. representing nearly
5 1000, 900. The decline is attributed &c
the increase of product on the river
Platte, in South America, wool consigned
direct to continental consumers, and
largely to the huge adulteration OF the
raw material with shoddy.

With the "Nine United Greatest Shows on
Earth"
In his extraordinary managerial career
Of over half a century, z. I. Barnum has
done many notable things, and most
prominent among them has at length es-
tablished the one great holiday OF all the
year, wherever the famous unity Of the
Barnum and London Nine Monster Shows
exhibits. The enormous daily crowds
they attract are OF themselves popular
events, aud while everybody visits them,
they certainly furnish great deal more
than enough for universal interest and re-
creation. The food OF advertisements
must make an enumeration Of the rarest
attractions to be found in the greatly en-
,larged and only chronological Congress Of
Savage Nations and Heather Tribes, the
two immense menageries, the three superb
'circuses with three rings, the museum Of
living maryels, the Rtupendous Roman
Hippodrome, upon the monster elevated
Olympian stage and displayed, free to all,
on the public streets, but nybody can say,
in all truth, that never was 80 much given
for 80 small price. "Too much for the
money" is the odd and only adverse critic
ism ever made upon this Incompatible
and refined entertainment; but il Messrs.
Barnum, Bailey & Hutchinson can stand
that sort OF thing the public will be able
to placidly endure it. The exhibition here
will be next Wednesday.

The veteran Couldock will appear at the
Opera House tonight in the role Of Lux
Fielding in "rhe Willow Copse." During
the last Eve years he has only been seen
as Dunslan Krts, and although he made
the character famous, still he seems to be
more iayorably and kindly remembered
as Luke Fielding. 1t is q moro agreeable
character than that Of the. austere and
tinty.hearled DplstGn, yet full enough OF
that high regard for honesty which char
acterized the old.tlme Englishman. The
Pittsburgh Dispateh says OF his acting:
"To say his acting was good would fall
short Of expressing the truth. Greatness
10 perhaps the most appropriate word in
this connection. Hissupport was entirely
satisfactory. Miss Carrie Turner Is q
quiet, honest actress, with sufficient knowl.
edge OF art 10 appreciate the bad effects OF
oyerdrawing, andthe good taste toayoidit."

The Demonstration of Armed Vic.
lence.
Nine Men Arrested as Members Of
the Mob.

The affair at the Laughlin mill, Mar
tins Ferry, Saturday morning, brief men
ton Of which was made in Saturdays IN
TELLIaEScER, was no. entirely unexpected,
although the small force defending the
factory WAS in measure taken by sur.
prise. 1t had been anticipated that an at
tack OF some nature would be made last
Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Il
did not occur, and it was then supposed
the assault had been deferred until the
next night. Still nobody came, aud the
precautions against an attack by q mob
which had been taken were somewhat re-
laxed.
A sufficient force Of guards were sta
toned about the mill premises Tuesday
and Wednesday nights to repel any at
tack. Thursday night the guard was
again strong enough TO defend the prem
ises against almost any force. Friday
night a emGller number OF sentiuels we're
posted, a d . less degree OF vigilance was
exercised, the information in possession
OF the mill managers being ouch that they
believed the demonstration OF violence
would not occur until Saturday night
LITTLE REVIEW.
To thoroughly understand the situation
at the luilI, il must BE- remembered that a
force OF heatprs and their helpers, nail
plate rollers and roll hands, numbering
eighteen or twenty, have been boarded and
lodged in building on the mill premises
fitted up by the company for that purpose
These men cana from McKeesport last
Monday night. When week or 60 ago
a similar force OF man were engaged by
the Junction Iron company and
brought to take the places OF the
striking heaters and rollers Mt Mingo
the strikers threatened 10 boycott any
person who lodged or fed them. They
were accordingly lodged in the mill, but
the frat night a crowd Of men came to the
factory and warned the men 70 leave,
which they did.
1t was resolved, in view OF this expert
ence, to lodge and feed the new force on
the premises, and to place sufficient
guard about to prevent repetition OF the
visit to the Mingo mill, when the
workmen were frightened OF. The result
OF these precautions was that the new men
have worked steadily since Tuesday, with
out any attempt TO modest them till Sltur-
day morning.

Though the deplorable affair ut Martins
Ferry nearly monopolizsd conversation
about town yesterday and Saturday there
was still some expression of opinions on
the charges against the Chief Of Police
and Officer Burns. The question Is FREE
qnently asked, IFS Jim Burns still on the

what the demand he made for an investi.
cation was ior-to keep him on till the
investigation was made.
It was freely declared Saturday that the
case against Porter Smith, as presented in
the INTELMGEScER that morning, was
very plain one. The erasure Of the words
ito be collected" spoke volumes.
An early meeting Of the Council Com
mittee on Police is urged on all hands.
Calls had not been ordered to be issued to
the members Of the committee last night,
but it was thought that Chairman Myles,
Of the committee, would call meeting
not later than tomorrow evening, to

Saturday afternoon about O'Clock a
perceptible tremor OF the ground was felt
at Wellsburg, lasting about minute. It
was accompanied by peculiar rumbllng
sound. Many at first thought it was an
earthquake shock, but the general theory
was that an explosion had occurred at one
Of the gas wells. It was said yesterday
that the MCGugin well was "shot" satur-
day, with dynamite cartridge, but it does
not seem credible that this could cause
the phenomenon noticed at Wellsburg.
