The magicians are fighting. Wash
mgton Irving Bishop, the mind
reader, has gone to the City of Mex
leo to join KelIar, and Hermann, who
is in San Francisco, but soon to APP
pear before the MeXicans, says that
KelIar is "dismal failure" and
Bishop "a fraud" Hermann says he
is willing to write a check for 81, 900
and some odd cents for keeps" if
Bishop can tell him the number Of his
odd cents. Hermann also calls Hertz
a "bungling copyist" and would give
$4,000, elf he could borrow it," to
travel with him one season. In return
comes a voice from the City of Mexico
that Kellar has al assistant that
could do Hermann up" while
Hertz responds that neither Kellar or
Hermann have any tricks less than a
century old. In the City of Mexico
each billboard is protected by Mexi-
can with a stilletto, and all the magi-
clans managers carry razors.

THE desolation and destruction to

the fearful blow struck at our southern
manufacturing industries by the Mills

THE democratic campaign liar hav-
ing asserted again and again that Mr..
Harrison was paid 81, 900 for his
services as attorney for the Ohio and
Mississippi railway during the strike
of 1877, Gen. Tracy, one of the direct
ors who was interested in the settle
ment of the business of the road, testi-
fies that the report is false; that it is
a poor weakly boomerang and might
as well be put in its little coffin and
laid in it's grave at once The facts
are that Harrison, Hynes and Miller,
attorneys for the receiver of the road,
received that amount, 81, 900 for their
services during period of nine years,
less than $500 each per annum for the
time that they were the legal advisers
of the receiver of the road, during
which time they had numerous cases
for the road to attend to in the Chica
90, Louisville. indianapolis and Gin
cinnati courts. This lie is now nailed;

A CYcLORAMA IN INDIANAPOLIS.
A New Attraction That Will Be Established
Here if Properly Encouraged.

Mr.. William Wehner. general manager Of tina
famous battle scene exhibited. in Chicago. De-
troit, st. Paul, Kansas City, Washington. and
other critics. was here yesterday for the purpose
of making arrangements, if proper encourage
mont should be given. to establish cyclorama
in Indianapolis. Tho exhibitions only be
given in buildings erected specially for. the
purpose, and. in consequence, the enterprise
is one that requires the investment Of 3
larg6 amount of capital. It is essential
that che attraction should be located in the CEN
trail part OF the city where it will be convenient
to visiting strangers. and MIR. Wehners mission
yesterday was to ascertain If suitable ground
could be obtained At reasonable sum. The
most desirable lot for sale that could be found
is the one on Circle street. on which stands the
residence OF William II. English. but the price
asked for it was far beyond what Mr.. Wehner
believed il to be worth that he was disposed,
last evening, to make no attempt to purchase
other locations. one Of which may be purchased,
if it can be obtained on satisfactory terms. A
stock company will be formed for the purpose Of
establishing the enterprise, and citizens of Indi-
annapolis will be asked to subscribe for some of
the stock. The capital will be fixed at $125, 900.
and thrae-fifths of the amount will be taken by
Mr.. Wehner himself. The cycoramos in other
cities were established in this way.
Mr.. Wehner says if he receives sufficient en-
couragement the company will be formed at
once and the erection of building will be be-
gun without delay. Il is his desire to have ev-
erything ready to open the exhibition In next
june. The battle of Atlanta will be exhibited
first, but after about two years it will be
changed and other famous battle scenes will be
put on exhibition. The cycloramas in other
cities have been immensely profitable to the
owners, and 1t is believed that Indianapolis is
quite az good point for such enterprise as
there is in the country. Mr.. Wehner expressed
himself as favcrably impressed with his OBJ
servations, and he will return IN about ten days
to take further steps toward getting the matter
in shape. In the meantime. Mr.. A. +. Potts
will represent him.
