The First One From America Ever Or
 dained Arrives in New YOrk.
 New York, July 1.-The cosy little Cath olic church of St. Mary's, on Willow avenue, Hoboken, was crowded yesterday morning when the Rev. Augustin Tolkon, the first colored Roman Catholic priest ever ordained from America, celebrated his first mass in the United States. He was invited to say mass by the pastor, Rev. Father Corrigan, who knew the colored clergyman and his parents when they were very young. The congregation expected that he would preach a short sermon, but they were disappointed
 Rev. Augustin Tolkon was born in Missou- ri thirty six years ago. His father and moth CT were slaves and he was born in serfdom At an early age he became teacher of the catechism in Catholic Sunday school After the war he was made free man and went to the Missouri college where he studied until 1868, when he was sent to Rome to finish his ecclesiastical stud ies. He was ordained by Cardinal Parocchi and last week sailed from Rome for this country and arrived here Tuesday. Father Corrigan asked him to preach in his church tomorrow afternoon, but he said that the cardinal at Rome advised him to hurry to this city and preach his first sermon among the colored population, so this morning at 9 o'clock he preached in the Church of St. Ben edict the Moor, in Bleecker street in this city, of which Father Buske is parter. To morrow morning he will say mass at Father Corrigan's church. Hoboken, and OF Tuesday he will start for Quincy, H., where he will have a parish

A CIRCUS MOBBED BY RoUGHs.
Many Persons Injured In A Fight To
 See The Show.

l A See The Show.
 l SHENANDOAH, Pa, July 11.-For more l than a week Hurlburt & Hastings circus
 has been booked to give performance here
 last night, and as shows of this character are | always largely patronized by the miners and | those engaged about the collieries, an i'm I mense crowd poured into town from all the | adjoining towns and patches. A street pa rade was indulged in, after which all went to the circus ground in the northwestern sec- ton of the town to witness the performance. The three-quarter time system established at the collieries for several years past leaves but
 small money with which to attend shows,
 and the fact that it was within one week of pay day money was very scarce with the
 working classes, although they expressed a
 determination to see the performance with
 or without the fee for admission. The
 crowd rapidly increased, and about one thou
 sand men and boys gathered, while more than
 that number were under the canvas awaiting
 the opening of the performance. A short
 time afterwards the crowd outside became unruly and threatened to force their way in side. This threat was followed almost in- stantly by rush for the main entrance, the crowd knocking the police and the circus at taches aside. The police attempted to stop the advance, but were met with curses and yells from the entire crowd. Many of the roughs succeeded in getting inside, while others were forced back. When the perform anoe began the mob made another rush and being repelled cut the ropes of the canvas, which swung around as though it would fall. This caused general panic inside, and men, women and children rushed towards the door only to discover that the canvas had fallen and blockaded the main exit. 4 scene of the widest confusion ensued. The roughs took advantage of it and followed up the cutting of the ropes, when Manager Hurlburt rushed out from the ring, revolver in hand, and threatened to shoot the first man who approached the tent. Meanwhile the police and Chief Burgess attempted to arrest the attacking party. A free fight fol lowed in which Chief Burgess was knocked down with a stone and seriously injured. A number of other officers were knocked down and badly beaten, while some of the roughs were clubbed by the officers. The circus men, with their horses, took short cut to the mountain and escaped. Every effort is be- ing made to arrest the leaders of the mob, but many of them fled the town. It is not known how many persons were injured in the fight.

A Sensation at NTontreaI,

MONTREAL, July 11.-A great sensation was recently created in political and com mercial circles here by the Trade Bulletin asserting in an editorial that dry goods firm which the local customs authorities had detected in extensive frauds on the revenue by entering goods imported systematically on forged invoices for one-third their value had paid out $4,OOO through agent for distribution in sums of $1 900 to two minis ters of the federal cabinet and two infuen- tial members of parliament, one an ex-minis- ter and the other an eminent lawyer, for their influence in having the affair hushed up without prosecution. The matter has been severely commented upon and great in dignation expressed by commercial men that gigantic frauds should be condoned without the perpetrators being prosecuted. The charges have been investigated and are found to be without foundation and are like ly to result in heavy libel suits against the newspapers here which published the names of Cabinet ministers and members of parlia- ment who were stated to be involved. The firm to which reference was made was that of Mel Iachlin Bros & Co.,

BIDELL. THE LION TAMER.
Story of the Famous Wild Beast Tan
 er,s Fight With Sultan.

er's Fight With Sultan.
 PARIS, July 11.-Bidell is, without doubt,
 far more successful wild beast tanner than
 Van Amburgh or any of the famous tanners
 of by-gone times, and is an object of general
 sympathy on account of his fearful adven-
 ture the other night with his old lion Sultan.
 When this beast was brought to Paris, four
 teen years ago, the first thing he did was to
 kill man. Bidell has never for a moment
 been ignorant of the beasts temper. Two
 years ago I met the famous tanner at Trouville
 and had many opportunities of conversing
 with him. He is short man, considerably
 below middle height and of Herculean build. I should say he is the very strongest man ever saw. He is dark in features, with black curly hair, rather of the Spanish than the French type. He makes no pretense to rule his animals by kindness. He relies on sheer fear, inspired by his presence, to reduce them to submission. His eyes are the most distinguishing features about him. It is upon the effect of these, he told me, that he chiefly depends. His look when ex- cited can hardly be described without the use of apparently absurd adjectives, so start ling is it. He is man absolutely without the sense of fear of wild animals. Armed with short prong only he will walk straight into cage of full grown leopards, tigers or lions fresh in captivity, chasing them all round for five minutes. A few days afterwards he will pass his head through their smoking jaws. Sultan was the most difficult beast he ever met. Frequently the animal would make a savage rush at him if their eyes separated for an instant only, and would be stopped by the tanners imperious coolness and left tear ing the air with his furious paws few inches from the masters nose. The other night, when Bidel turned his back for moment, the lion sprang upon him, rolled him over and began tearing him with his claws, when, putting forth all his strength, Bidell man aged to hurl him off and to escape by the door, wounded, however, in no fewer than desired to continue the performance. but was not allowed to do so
