NIAGARA FAIls, Orr, Dot. 15.--The
four Cinnamon, who were stopped here
on their way to the United States CON
tinue to be the wards of tho
Grand Trunk railway, sleeping on the
floor In the general waiting room OF the
station. They have written and received
several letters since their arrival here o
week ago. The Grand Trunk authorities
have done everything in their power to
get them across the frontier and to their
destination, even communicating with
the authorities at Washington. Each
time a reply has come that they cannot
be allowed to enter the country.
All Ling, the seemingly representative
and educated one Of the party, received q
Chinese letter from friend in Chicago
on Friday last, advising him to commit
nicate with the Chinese Ambassador OF
Washington, stating fully the cause OF
their detention, which he has done. No
doubt the matter will become an inter-
national question between China and the
United stntes. The feeling hore is that
tho Canadian government should object
to Canada being made dumping ground
for the Chinese pauper population OF the
United States, made paupers by the United
States authorities not allowing them to
return TO their places of business and
work

Some of the Now Street Car Gcn
MObbed by the strikers
CHICAGO, Oct. misunderstanding
the settlement of the street car strike a
rather serious conflict occurred this morn
ing about three blocks from the Garfield
avenue barns, between mob Of strikers
and the new men who were running out
cars. The first car was run ont, and pro-
ceeded on It's wsy without event. The
next six cars were then run ont and had
proceeded to Centre street, when mob
rushed from an alley near by and made o
savage assault upon the new drivers and
conductors.
Stones and missiles were hurled through
the air, and several of the mob pounded
the men and endeayored to drag them of
the cars. A hand-to-hand struggle then
ersued, Captain Setback was notified of
the trouble and with Is men at once
started for the scene. The mob, which
had evidently vented its spite, ran away
when the police appeared. Several of
the conductors and drivers were hurt
pretty severely. The new men say they
recognized men in the mob as strikers,
The trouble arose through the fact that
the new men retained were concentrated
at tho Garfield avenue barns and were the
only men running cars from that point.

The Wilmington Fairs first exhibition
Is now q thing Of the past and the de-
serted grounds now contrast forcibly
with the life and movement Of the past
week. The fair has been o success In
every particular and the projectors arc
pleased with their venture. About
so, 900 people visited the exhibition and
the receipts from all sources will be up
wards of 10000, of which $4,000 is
consumed in premiums. Much of the re.
mainder will be eaten up by the current
expenses, which will be considerable.
The one item Of hay and straw, which
was all furnished by the association, cost
$500. The managers, however, will come
out on the right side of the ledger.
The receipts OF the four gates amounted
to between $4,000 and 50, 600, while the
receipts from the sales Of tickets by the
railroads will amount TO as much moro.
| The sales of season tickets, entrance
money from races and exhibitors, sales of
privileges, &C., will swell the aggregate
receipts to good proportions. All this
was accomplished under conditions ur-
favorable enough TO scare of less bold

accomplished on working capital OF
$ll, 200. What the association now wants
Ia to raise an additional $14 600, making
the total capital stock S25, 900, and then,
as President George @. Lobdell, says:
1--WE will make fair that will eclipse
anything in this section of the country"
1t is not thought that there will be
any difficulty in raising this additional,
every cent OF which will be invested in
improvements. A dwelling house will be
erected at once for the residence of
permanent groundsman or Waterman.
Next year sufficient buildings will have
been erected to accommodate all intend
ing exhibitors. The main building will
be doubled in size and capacity either in
adding to the present structure or putting
up new building, Then there
will be buildings for the exhibition
of carriages, for poultry, q dog
kennel, one for farm products
and agricultural machinery and it is also
proposed to have big machinery hall
for the display of machinery in motion.
The race track will be picketed on the
outside and spectators kept from the
green on the inside. The grand stand
will be enlarged by the addition of two
sections on each side of the present
structure. This and many other improve
ments are contemplated and will be
carried out if any encouragement Is
shown. The managers desire to make
the Wilmington fair to outshine and out
rival any similar exhibition in the cast.
