CIRCUS RECEIVER.
LAWYER HARVEY WILSON APporsTED
10 THAT POSITION.
All the Property Held for Debt and th'
Employees in Desti-
tuition.

Judge Wexford being absent from the
city yesterday several persons who had
attachments against Shelby's circus pro-
perty applied to Judge Ingram, of Man
chester, to appoint receiver. The
Judge accordingly entered such an order
and named Mr.. Harvey Wilson, who has
taken charge OF the elephant, horses,
tents, and all Of the other property.
FAREWELL.
Mr.. Shelby will bid farewell to the
show this morning and leave for his
home in Chicago.
EMPLOYERS.
There are about seventy-fve employees
with the circus, and about forty of that
number are dependent upon the charity
OF the city for support.
POOR, INDEED.
A number of these unfortunate men
made application TO Mayor Ellyson yes
terday and were sent by him to the SUI
perintendent of the Almshouse with in
structions to supply them with food tenn
porariiy.
These stranded showmen are for the
most part badly clad, and have to seek
shelter at night in box-cars or remain
upon the streets.
IT'S HISTORY.
Shelby's show first went on the road
during last April and started from Chi
cago in wagons. It went through several
western States and reached Virginia
about four weeks ago.
They met with fair crowds whenever
the weather was favorable, but since
reaching Virginia the continuous rains
have made the receipts very small, while
the expenses were from $500 to 81, 600
per day.
IN ACTUAL WANT.
Mr.. Wilson, the receiver, said last
night: "1he laboring people belonging
to Shelbys circus are actually suffering
with hunger and ask for assistance from
our people. They have no way OF get
ting ont OF Richmond until they can re-
cover what is due them from Shelby.
Some of them had nothing TO eat from
yesterday morning until tonight The
city fed some of them, but was unable
to supply all. They have been remarka-
bly, well behaved since they have been
here and something ought to be done to
assist them"
This is a bad state of affairs, and it
calls for immediate response from our
people.
Any sums of money left at the news
paper Offices will be turned over to MIR.
Wilson TO be expended IN this direction,
and no doubt az all the city authorities,
too, will be prompt to act.
The men want food, and that they
should get at once.
1t has been suggested that if the circus
men could get up benefit entertainment
at the tent it would be literally patron
lied. Whether it is possible depends
upon how many Of the performers are
left in the city.
Meanwhile the cry is for food.

The Manchester School Board con-
vened in the Council chamber last night
mt 8 o'clock in monthly session. The
following members (barely quorum)
were present: Messrs. +. G. ID. Farmer
(chairman), ID. j. Weisiger (secretary),
G. A. Peple, w. L. Robinson, John
O'Brien, q. A. Carr, and J. Il. Perdue.
Mr.. Peple, chairman of the Committee
on Grades, presented IN elaborate report
recommending the rearrangement OF the
studies in the various schools, and the
report was adopted.
No material changes are made.
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Mr.. Peple also, on behalf of his COM
mittee, drew the attention of the board
to the importance OF changing the course
of the High School from one Of two to
one Of three years, SO rs to raise It's
standard to that of the Richmond
High School and other collegiate
schools. lie submitted q revised
course of study, which, he said. the
committee would ask the board to
adopt as soon rs the school finances are
in such condition as to admit of the en-
ployment Of an assistant teacher, lady,
Tor the High school. This, he ex-
planned, would afford the principal,
who is also teacher of the High School,
an hour each day TO look after the other
schools and to attend to his clerical du-
ties.
This suggestion of the committee met
with the unanimous approval OF the
board, but the proposition had to he
tabled for the present as other schools OF
lower grade VIII have to be established,
and these will consume all OF the surplus
funds that the board will have at their
disposal.
OPENING THE SCHOOLS.
The question of opening the schools
was broached, but the time could not be
definitely settled, as the desks and other
furniture shipped from the North August
9Th have not yet arrived and the build
ings are not quite complete. Mr..
Weisiger will endeavOr to-day to ascer-
tain where the desks are and when they
will arrive and the Building Commit
tee will probably learn in day or two
how soon the buildings can be entered.
These matters settled a meeting OF the
board will he called to decide when to
open the schools.
