One of the young women employed
in silk mill at Wilkesbarre, Pa, the
other day WAS taken with epileptic fits.
She fell to the floor and the other girls
gathered around her and became most
alarmed and excited. Suddenly one
of them gave wild shrek and fell
over in Mysteries. The excitement in
creased, and in a minute or so another
young woman was seized with hyste-
ria. The girls were now almost wild
with nervous excitement, and one after
another were seized with hysteric con-
vuisions, until sixteen were prostrated.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Representative J..
J. O'Neill, of Missouri, who returned to
Washington this morning with his bride,
makes a statement to the effect that a
letter was received in st. Louis from
Mrs. Moore, who claimed to be mar
ried to him, protesting against the
marriage. The letter was received prior to
his marriage, and its contents were duly
considered, Mr.. O'Neill asserts, by the
priest who performed the ceremony. Mr..
ONeill wishes this statement, he says, to
stay the rumor that the mails were
tampered with.

of amusing audiences. His play Is
knock about farce, which depends
for its fun largely upon the capacity
of the actors for bringing it out. He
is aware of this, and as his desire
is to give the public good enter

with talent of the right kind. There

The New York Tribune says
Cleveland is not running in Eng
land quite SO we'll as he was. A
few weeks ago his reelection was
pronounced certain by the English
press, but new even "The London
Times" admits that the chances of
q Presidential election never hung
more indecisively in the balance.
That is significant admission, even
taking into account the change of
tone on the part of the British
journals when they received hint
that their praise of Mr.. Cleveland's
free trade policy would injure the
cause they wished to advance. If
the President is losing the strong
support that he has hitherto had in
England, his chances are indeed
gloomy.

F0REPAUGH.s CEECUs.
How It Came to se Downea.

A man connected with the circus
business gave the APPEAL reporter
TIE following account of how the
Forepaugh circus came to grief. He
said:
"Fcr some years the different cir
cuses were rolling ever the country
regardless of any fixed plan and
constantly coming into contact and
running opposition to each other.
"When a company got its posters
al up with the dates at the bottom
| in big blue letters, it was common
trick for a rival company to send a
man over the route and change the
dates.
"He had blue numbers of the
same size and where it read April
oath for instance he would paste
9 over the and the country peo-
pie who came in on that date would
be several days behind hand.
I sometimes one company would
take down the other company's
paper entirely and when two circuses
met there was generally free fight
| and several employees would be
killed.
"But this is a thing OF the past
now. Each Winter in New York
there is a meeting OF the "Circus
Congress" and representatives OF all
the circuses come together and
devide up the United States.
"The different territory covered
by each circus is plainly marked
on the map an agreement is drawn
up and signed in which each COM
pany binds itself to pay heavy
penalty for going over the line into
another territory not assigned to |
it.
"The penalty generally consists |
of one half the gross receipts and of |
course tie rule is seldom violated.
"Now the circus run by John
Forepaugh is not the big Adam
Forepaugh show but what is known
as q tramp circus, and net recagnlz-
ed by the Congress.
"When it started over the Pacific
Coast route it invaded the territory
assigned to Sells Brothers and they
called on tae Congress for protec-
ton.
"The Congress at once advanced
the necessary money to crush out
the tramp, and my idea is that the
Congress began to work on the
show in Yreka, and had its agents
with it all along the route. 1t is
the idea among the circus men that
Morse, of the band, was one OF
the secret agents Of the Congress,
and that par. of the job TO Kill the
circus was the fight which came SO
near taking place on the Humboldt
Desert
"Some of the boys think Sbarrard
the teamster, was the man relied |
on by the Congress to queer it on
the read.
at is certain that the secret +,
agencies were always at work Grip
ping the combination in every con-
way, and it would never
have gone to pieces without there
we're men right with it to wreck it.
"One reason the Congress is de-
termineG to freeze ont any small
circus that starts up is that the
business is SO profitable that when
a small combination once gets a
start it may in a few years grow to
vast proportions and become a dan
yerous rival to the big ones. Hence
he Circus Trust"
The man who gave the informa-
ion was member Of the company.

stock were sent to Reno, where

having no top to his tent. He said |;

WHO KILLED GRESHAM?
His Political Death Accomplished

+ His Political Death Accomplished
by the Wizard of Wall Street.
Chicago Special to New York Herald
A wise old Republican said to me last
night in the corridors that in the anti
Gresham movement you find strong
influence which can be readily traced to
the "WiZard" (Jay Could and his
myrmidons in Wall street.
"Do you suppose" said an observer
last evening, that that wall street
wizard has forgotten the action of
Gresham on the bench? Do you not
know that his one political purpose is to
punish Gresham for having interfered
with his financial rascalities? And
although you do not read about it in the
papers do you not see even here in these
crowds the agents of the Wizard
headed by gentleman very close to him
in business transactions, perhaps his
most trusted ally? These are here,
SedulOus. secret, and unpauSing in their
efforts to destroy Gresham. If these
facts could be brought out in
proper light it would have an
important bearing on the conven-
ton, but by some strange fatality
the Gresham organs in the Northwest
have, as it were, by consensus of
opinion, ignored what to my mind would
paign-namely: that his nomination
would be the most offensive act to the
Wizard that the Republican party
could commit. But mark my wOrds,''
continued my informant, mo Republi-
can convention will ever assemble and
disobey the orders of the 'Corsair of
Wall street,"
presume that my informant was re-
ferring in this severe criticism to the
presence of q. M. Dodge, who is, as you
know, close to the 'CorSar'' Gould, and
who leads the movement for Allison.
Gen. Dodge speaks of Gresham in
high terms, and says he would be glad
to see him nominated, but supported
Allison for state reasons. Gen. Dodge
is, of course, too prudent a man to allow
antipathies of his chief to be apparent
in his action, but the fact is that he is
close te the ''COrsair," and that he is
doing more than anybody in Chicago tc
prevent the nomination of Judge
Gracbam
