HORROR AT A BULL FIGHT.
Fire Set by an Incendiary Causes the
Death OF Eighteen Women
and Children.
The Enraged Animals Kill Many Of the
Victims Become In
sane from Terror.
[celsya rMexicol telegram

Sunday afternoon, about 445 o'clock,
the bull-ring here was crowded with spec
tators of the great national sport. The
company of bull-fghters from Leon were
still playing with the first bull, when a fire
suddenly broke out on the sunny side Of
the plaza. A panic seized upon the vast
assemblage and frightful spectacle was
the result. The plaza was constructed Of
wooden masts, reeds, ETC., and 1t was due
to this fact that the ma jority of the people
escaped without injury, being able to force
an opening permitting an exit at different
points, but many women and children
jumped from the top, distance of from
two hundred to three hundred feet, and
over one hundred Of them were seri-
ously wounded. Eighteen lives were
lost. The sides of the plaza being
lined with mating as dry as finder,
and there being slight wind blowing, the
amphitheater was in blaze in q few Sec
onds. Nine dead bodies, in some cases so
charred as to be unacceptable, have so far
been taken from the smoking ruins. Nine
persons we're SO badly burned that they
died next day, making eighteen deaths
in all. Sixty eight persons we're very
badly burned, and, though they still
live, at least ten Of them will die
this week. Fifty persons in escaping were
knocked down ana trampled upon Dy the
panic stricken throng, and are very seri-
ously, but not fatally, injured. The bulls,
maddened by the roaring of the flames,
broke loose from their stalls and rushed
wildly through the sursing mass of human
ity, tossing aloft and knocking over all who
stood in their way.
Among the eighteen dead were two
women who were first gored to death by
the bulls and their bodies afterward burned.
The scenes in the neighborhood Of the
bull-ring we're sickening beyond descrip-
ton. Women and children, Invested Of
their clothing, and suffering from their
burns, ran aimlessly through the streets
and could scarcely be overtaken or collected
by their friends. Several persons lost
their reason from the severe mental shocks
TO which they we're subjected.
Celaya is mourning now. On every
side is heard the sound Of the wailing fol
the loved ones, mourning for those doomed
10 die Of suffering, by those whose wounds
will not prove fatal. IL is the saddesi
tragedy that has ever occurred in the three
centuries of the city's history.

Let the Battle Proceed.

The Republican party understand per-
fectly that it has difficult task before it
to win in the approaching political cam
paign; but Democrats who are counting on
weakness and timidity on the part of
Republicans will find themselves grandly
mistaken. The record shows that the Re-
publican party fights best when IL is APP
parently in minority. II is then most ag-
gressiye, united and triumphant.-Albany

A WOMAN FOR MAYOR.
The Entire City Government Of 0ska-
loosa, Kan. in the Hands of
the Fair Sex.
[oskaloosa CKansas) spscial.l


The result of the election in this city, in
which the Mayor and five members Of the
City Council, all consisting Of women,
were elected, seems to have attracted at
tention all over the country, as kilograms
are coming in from all quarters asking for
particulars. The reasons for the some
what remarkable action can be stated in q
few words. There has been vigorous kick
from the law and order element in the city
on account of the lax manner in which
former administrations have managed mu-
nicipal affairs, especially in regard to the
enforcement of the prohibitory law, and
so advantage was taken OF the State law
permitting women to vote and hold Office
IN cities of the first, second, and third class,
and ticket put in the field and triumph
aritly elected composed of representatives
of the gentler sex. Mrs. Mary ID. Lowman
was chosen as Mayor, and the following
ladies were elected as members OF the City
Council:
Hannah A. Morse, Sarah f. Balsiey,
Emma Hamilton, Carrie l.. johnson.
Mile Golden.
As stated, these are representative
women, the wives OF well-knvwn citizens
who ale prominent in business and pro-
fessional circles. The experiment is not
looked upon in the nature of q joke
though there was a hilarious serenade
given to all the candidates the night of the
election, but as the new Mayor had her
bangs put up in papers she was unable to
appear longer than to bow her thanks,
and, therefore, her speech of thanks for
the honor will not so laundering down the
ages.
Another newly elected Councilwoman
sent her apologies for not appearing. be-
cause she was putting the baby to bed and
did not feel like intrusting such duties to
her husband until she had drilled him q
little more. In fact, the new honors SEEM
ed to rest rather heavily upon all the
ladies, so that none of them were able to
made speeches OF any length in reply to
the serenade.
1t is predicted that there will be many
reforms instituted, and it is intimated that
City Marshal viii be selected from among
the ranks of the women. Seriously, how
ever, ii can be said that the ladies manifest
perfect willingness to assume their novel
duties, and they will not only have abund-
ant encouragement, but it is believed the
experiment tried for the first time in this
county will be entirely satisfactory.

Feminine ouarrels at the Polls.

Wichita tKansas) special.
At Valley Center every woman but one
>oted, and took far more interest in the
election than the men. They had their
teams, and electioneered with great energy.
The men, in fact, stood back and watched
them out of curiosity. Several feminine
quar- els occurred, and two cases of hair
pulling and womanly wrangling at the polls
are reported. There were two candidates,
one Prohibitionist and the other Anti Pro.
hibitionist Two-thirds of the women's
votes went for the former, the remainder
for the latter.
Wellington (Kansas) special
Only about 20 per cent Of the women OF
Wellington voted. but these were solidly
for one candidate or the other, and con.
trolled the result in several instances.

Twenty-one years ago less than one-six-
teenth of our imports were free of duty.
Last year the free imports amounted to
more than half of the entire imports. The
increase in the imports of dutiable goods
in the twenty years was 20 per cent, while
900 per cent. These are figures to confront
the free trader with when he clamors that
the "war taxes" are being kept up.-Globe-

Ingalls, VIII Defend tho Soldiers.

Senator ingalls, was given a hearty re-
ception by Kit Carson Post, No. 2, of the
Grand Army of the Republic, at their an
nual camp fire in this city. In his speech
Senator Ingalls, said among other things:
IF the comrades of the Grand Army of the
Republic are in any place whatsoever ma
ligned, shall defend them. III they are
denounced as political organization,
banded together to plumber, shall deny
1t, and no calumny, no misrepresentation,
no vituperative cartoon shall deter me
from denying that the Grand Army Of the
Republic is the debtor of the nation. 1t is
shame and disgrace and humiliation that
any man who has barred his breast in bat
tie, and has risked his life and shed his
blood that our flag might not be dragged
down and dehled by traitors, should ever
become an inmate of an almshouse, or de-
pendent on public charity for support"

SENATOR INGALLS, EXPLANATION.
He Attacked Mcclellan and Hancock as
Politicians, Not rs Soldiers.
4 IL

Politicians, Not rs Soldiers.
Topeka (Kan.) special.
The following letter, received by Rail-
road Commissioner Greene from Senator
Ingalls,, puts the Senator'S recent arraign-
ment of General Hancock and General
Mcclellan in so strong light that his
Democratic assailants can hardly dodge
its rays.
"The Democracy and their allies have
grossly misrepresented me, and endeav-
ored to break the force of my arraignment
by personal assaults and by distortion OF
my language. Every man Of intelligence
knows that my illusions to Hancock and
Nc Clellan were not as soldiers, but as
Democratic candidates for the Presidency.
As such they were allies OF the Confed-
.eracy, as Grover Cleveland is, and as
every Democrat must be who aspires to
that Office, because he must be elected by
the 1853 votes of the solid South, which is
as much an aggressive and potential force
in our politics as it was in 1880.
unless the Republican party has the
courage and intelligence to wage the en-
suing campaign upon the platform of
equal and exact justice to all under the
law they will fail, as they deserve TO fail.
