a SAUSAGE STAMPEDE.

The succuIent but Explosive weiner'

the impression il was a revolver. took to his
heels. But it remained for Springfield
weinsr-wurst vender to stampede whole
audience of several hundred people. Just
as the drama which was the attraction at
Blacks Opera House, Friday night was
reaching the grand denouement and
when everybody's attention was bresthlessly
fixed on the actors, there came a tremendous
explosion, sounding in the awful silence as
though battery of steam boilers had iucon-
tinently ''let go This was followed by
smell OF coal oil penetrating the place. In
moment the scene of action was transferred
from the stage to the auditorium, and, as one
person, almost, five or six hundred people,
many of them women ard girls, made sim
ultaneous and precipitate break ior the exits.
II seemed at that moment as though fear
fully fatal panic was inevitable, but the reeu-
lar attendants fortunately kept their heads,
knowing the harmless source of the explosion
and did exactly the right thing at the right
time-they sprang 10 each door and
locked il fast The people threw
themselves against the doors, but they re-
sisted the fearful pressure and the women set
up tremendous screaming, the house pre-
senting a scene of confusion worse con-
founded. Several of the actors who sppre-
ciated the situation at glance, came TO the
footlights and yelled for the audience to be
seated; that there was no danger, in which
they were seconded by such of those in front
as had kept cool and remained in their places.
Somebody also yelled: "Start up that orches-
ira" and the pianist and trombonIst, getting
into position, set up racket that Instantly
drowned all other sounds, and these COM
bined efforts having the desired effect the
psnic-stricken crowd finally became seated,
and the show went on.
1t appeared that one Of those perambulat-
ing restauranteurs, the weiner-wurst boys,
had made his way into the passage inside the
main entrance, ard the lamp which is kept
burning under the can to keep the contents
hot, having become overhested, exploded,
which was the innocent and unusual cause of
the scare. Beyond the destruction OF the
sausage, rye bread and horse radish no real
damage was done, but the escape was a mar
rev one and great credit is due the corps of
ushers for their presence of mind aud prompt
action. Nearly everybody's first thought
was of the dyuamiters and their recent work,
and it is probable none of those present will
hear the familiar cry, "weiner-wurstl' for
sometime to come without shudder.

COUNTY PRINTING.

The bill now pending before the
Legislature, providing for the quarterly
printing of the proceedings of county
commissioners, is evoking considerable
discussion and no little animosity.
There is no dissenting voice by mem
bcrs of the Assembly or on the part of
the populace as to the intrinsic merit
Of the bill, all agreeing that such a
law is essential and demanded by the
people, but the fact that objections
have been taken to having such print
ing confined to the county-seat-thus
barring all other county papers from
bidding-has caused the capital papers
to vent their wrath upon the legisla-
tors who, through principle, are ad-
vocating the letting of such contract
20 the lowest bidder. Speaker Gallo
way and G. X. Tingle, particularly,
by championing the interests ofeconomy
to the end that the lowest bidder be
awarded the printing for which count
les are chargeable, are the butt of their
sarcasm. The plea is made by the
publishers located at the capital and a
! few of the county seats, that they
should have the contract on account
of the greater circulation of their
papers. as a larger number of people
will be benefited thereby, etc, but
neglect to mention the fact that .he
county seat" clause means that the
taxpayers will have to pay the maxi
mum price allowed for such work
generally four times as r uch as it
would cost by awarding it 10 the low
est bidder. Again, does anyone sup
pose that parties ,iesirous of reading
such proceedings will be debarred
because of the limited circulation OF
the paper in which 1t may be published?
Is it not an easy matter, il they dc
not desire 10 subscribe foT such paper
To secure an extra copy of the issue
containing the proceedings?
The awarding of the contract 70,
county printing to the lowest bidder
means a yearly saving of several hund

Galloway and Tingle can well afi,or(

Dead in his Cell.

BosToE, Oct, 3O.-J. N. Talbot,
alias Otto Funk, age 27, was found
dead in his cell this morning in the
police station at Old Cambridge,
where he had been arrested for
stealing books. He had committed
suicide by taking poison. TalboPs
career has been a downward one
While student at the University al
Chicago he endeayored to blow up
the buildings and destroy the college
generally with dynamite. At the
same time he had been stealing
books from the Chicago public libra
ry, and for both of these crimes he
was brought into a court of justice.
On the ground Of insanity he was sent
to an asylum, from which he soon
after escaped. This was year or
50 age.
At the opening Of the divinity
school at Harvard, Tablet presen-
ted himself for adMiasion, having
with him several letters signed by
many influential men OF Chica 20.
The letters all bore date Of 1885,
but a closer inspection revealed the
fact that the go was forged, the
original date being 1888. this being
the time Of his admission to the
University at Chicago. For some
time books have been missing from
the Harvard library, but not until
now could the culprit be definitely
placed. Sergt. Hartman yesterday
found in Eorten's woods, at The rear
Of the Agassiz Museum, sacks con
tanning $50 volumes, all bearing the
stamp OF the library. At Sawin's
exprers Office, in Harvard Square,
we're found twenty-five more vol
umes tied up and ready for shil-
ment. Other stolen property was
found which be had taken from a
physician.
When diAcovered This morning,
the body was still warm,tlying cross
wise upon the bunk. Upon the
floor Of the cell Was found a piece Of
yellow paper upon which was written:
"Mr. Peabody: VIII you please for
