STEAM BARGE BURNED.
Marrow Escape of the Crew of the
j. p. Farnam.

( iSouTH HAVEN, Mich, July 21.-The
steam barge j. P. Farnam, Capt. l.. q.
cVosburg, owned by l.. P. and j. A.
Smith. of Cleveland, from st. Joseph to
Escanaba Light, caught fire aft at about
3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The
flames spread so rapidly that all efforts
to get out the boats were unavailing.
The mate was seriously burned about
the hands and arms in the effort. Rats
were hurriedly improvlsed from the
matches and few plankS that FORUM
atelylwere on board, upon which the
crew of eleven men and the captains
wife placed themselves as best they
could. Fortunately the lake was un-
usually calm at that hour, to which fast
the crew largely owe their lives.
The beach patrofman of the life-saving
station discovered the smoke about 4
O'Clock. He thought at first it was only
"a steamer firing up, as it was nearly
twenty miles away, but soon he became
satisfied that the vessel was on fire.
Then he hurried to the station to give
the alarm. The steamer Glenn, of the
Williams Transportation line. hap
pened to be in port and she got up
steam as quickly as possible, and. TAX
ing the life-saving crew and life-b0at
and few volunteers, made all possible
haste to the work of rescue. The Glenn
arrived alongside the burning wreck
about 7 O'Clock. Quite sea was run
ming at this time, although there was
10 wind, which swept completely over
the frail craft, thoroughly drenching its
occupants. All, however, were safely
got Oh board the Glenn and arrived in
Il. e., - n
sound, expressing the highest praise of
Capt Boyne, of the Glenn, and the crew
of the life-saving station for their
timely work.

RED-HOT PUR|TANS.
Sunday at Mahtomedi Is as

One has Dut to spend Sunday at
Mahtomedi to be strongly impressed
with the fact that the place was opened
and conducted in the interest of G hrist-
ian work. During the week Mahtomedi
is counted as one of the many beautiful
spots upon the shores of White Bear.
which are open for inspection, comfort
and admiration. but upon the day of
rest, its doors are closed to the outside
world. Not st, Paul train arrives be-

stopping to accommodate a stray pas

Boats on Sunday" hangs out, which
cOmpels the nice young people who
wish row on Sunday to secure the
oars late on Saturday night. But very
few services are held on Sunday at an
encampment like this. 1t seems a day
of rest from the routine programmes of
the week, and the meetings are as few
as possible and as simple.
THE SERVICES.
Yesterday morning opened clear and
hot at Mahtomedi, but the shady woods
protected the camp from the suns hot
rays until shower blew up in the after
noon, and cooled the heavy atmosphere.
The II o'clock services were conducted
by Rev. j. H. Sammis, who spoke to a
couple Of hundred people on the
subject of the atonement. Sunday
school followed, and the only afternoon
service was conducted at 4 O'clock
This was a meeting entirely for young
men. In the evening a large assembly
of young men assembled in the amphi-
theater and had testimonial meeting
on the benefits which they had derived
from the Y. M. G. A.

Last evenings great reception at the
Y. M. G. A. club house seems. to have
fully established harmony between the
offending Y. M. G. A. boys and the out

the question and give as little in

This has lesSened the talk aud all are

of affairs, except possibly it might be

would, you know, like to wear their
dresses a little open at the throat.
There is some consolation, however, in
the fact that the boys will remain but a
couple of days longer, and they will
then be free from their observation.

THE PROHIBS,

Prof. Fletcher Williams--I have re-
ceived a State Gazette of Iowa, and on
examining it was struck with one singu-
lar fact. In the department devoted to
classified trades and occupations no
ticed lengthy list of saloonkeepers.
There were in all 5S4 of them, giving
their name and place or business. In
Dubuque alone there were 1873 so adver-
tised. [ had got the idea, from what /
had read, that the operations of the pro-
hibitory law in Iowa had closed up the
saloons pretty generally, but this does
doing business without disguise. 1t
seems difficult to get at the real facts of
the case as to whether the law prohibits
or not, as l have seen it positively as
serted both ways.

GROWTH OF THE CIRCUS.

"There never was a more explicit
Illustration of what pluck, energy and
enterprise, backed by immense wealth,
can do than is furnished this year by
Adam ForepGugh and his combined
shows" remarked Press Representative
Boyle, chatting with GLOBE scribe
last evening. "Why." continued Mr..
Boyle, "the circus business has been
entirely revolutioniZed by Adam Fore
paugh and his son, Adam Jr. Fourteen
years ago such thing as a railroad
show was entirely unknown. Circuses
were then caravans, travelling from
place to place in wagons; performers
and all employees were compelled to put
up with all kinds of disc0mfOrts and
deprivations, and helargest tent known
would not seat more than one-tenth of
the people who can now be comfortably
seated under Forepaughs acres of can

of the circus idea. Mr.. Forepaugh first

had no idea of embarking in the show
business at that time, but when SubSe-
Quently the Snowman failed to meet his
obligations, Mr.. Forepaugh went, to
PittSburg, where the show was
stranded. and bought the entire outfit
to save the debt due him. He managed
it for while, but finding it too small to
make much money, he bought out the
then well known Mabie menagerie,
with two elephants, for $4,000,
and consolidated the two shows.
He then secured the services OF
the famous clown. Dan Rice, at the
enormous salary of $1,000 a week, and
started on a wagon tour over the cOun-
try. Success was instantaneous more
and larger tents were soon required,
new cages of animals and more famous
riders and acrObatS were secured, and .
the FOrepaugh show soon began to be
recognized from Philadelphia west as
the leading amusement enterprise under
canvas. In 1876, the centennial year,
the ForepaUgh show had increased to
such proportions that it was found inn
practicable to continue travelling by
wagon, and forty cars, each sixty feet
in length, were contracted for and eX-
pressly built for the transportation Of
the show. This marked new and i'm
portant era in the circus business; and
in order to prevent total humiliation
the largest of the rival shows were
shortly afterwards compelled to follow
suit, and travel by rail.
Since 1876 the number of cars re-
quired for the transportation of the
Forepaugh exhibition has increased
year by year until to-day Mr.. Forepaugh
owns and operates more railroad cars
than any other show in the country.
The growth of the show has not been
confined to any particular feature, but
has been general. Each season new
novelties have been introduced. The

1t was o'clock. Seventh street was
crowded with the light-dressed frivolity
of the city. The cable cars whirled up
and down, and the merry crack of the
hackman's whip was to be heard at
each corner. Brightly shone the sun,
and sweating humanity logged along
with an air of indifference and i'll the
best of possible good humor.

The clock IN the market tower de-
noted five minutes had passed since the
hour of four was chimed. There is not
a solitary individual to be seen on
Seventh street. Pedestrians are crowded
into doorways, saloons-anywhere for
shelter. The sun has disappeared rain
is descending in torrents, and the low
rumbling of thunder is heard, preceded
by the flash of lightning.
j
1t is only 4:1O. The air is cool and
refreshing, and the main thoroughfare
of the city is again crowded with young
and old, rich, poor and nondeScrlpt,
and the sound of laughter, mingled
with the Oftentime loud, coarse jest,
may be heard on every side. The storm
has come and gone, and beyond the
well-Washed and almost flooded streets
has left no trace of its unWelcome but
nevertheless purifying pleasure.

Indians Killing Deer for Their
Hides.

A. G. Cramer, of Finlayson, Pine
county, says that the Indians located at
the Pine lakes are violating the game
laws of the state, and he wakes very
wrath there anent. The "Injuns" are
killing the deer for the sake of their
hides, and Mr.. Cramer soliloqnizes in
this strain: LAS the state law does not
allow white men to kill deer even for
meat, if there is any law against such
depredations, | ask the enforcement of
it." The attorney general of the state
may probably be able to enlighten the
indignant citizen of Pine county.

Rainstorms show up the negligence of
city officers by washing out all deficient
sidewalks. There was a terrible III
stance of this yesterday on East Sew
enth street, corner Of Hoffman avenue.
The whole sidewalk was precipitated
down precipice into Phalen creek.
The mind shrinkS with horror at the
thought of what might have occurred
had the sidewalk given away when a
number of people were gathered upon
it. 1t is sort of evening rendezvous
for the neighborhood. The sidewalks
in the vicinity require immediate atten-

Rain storms clear the atmosphere.
There was scarcely breath of air be-
fore the rain yesterday afternoon, but
afterwards there was sufficient for
man with the appetite of a camel.
There was oxygen to the right, oxygen

of her oxygen, and the Rev. Nathaniel

was leiSurely seated III a chair placed
on the sidewalk, cooling his shiny bald

of one cool place in his general make

one. The rain came, first one drop.
then another, but the senator did not
bulge. Then a whole avalanche of
water came with flop on that highly
cultured bald pate, down the mmacu-
late broad eXpanse of white covering
the statesman's bosom. He sought the
friendly aid of the hotel aud the air was
not alone lurid with electricity.
