A Newark Matinee Audience Horror
 Stricken by Accident.
 NEWARK, N. J., March GA thrilling in cident occurred yesterday afternoon during a matinee performance at the Grand Opera house heee. The Austin sisters, Rose aild Aimee, had concluded their act upon the trapeze, and Aimee prepared to finish her performance by walking, head down, across u twenty-four foot board, elevated thirty feet above the auditorium. To accomplish this feat thick layer of rubber, saturated with water to give it all adhesive quality, was firmly fastened to the heel of each boot, after which the performer was hoisted to a small trapeze bar, pendant from the board above
 The distance to the end of the long board had been accomplished. Then for a moment the girl hesitated, and before the first back ward step could be taken the right heel sev- cred its hold on the board, terrified scream followed, and Aimee fell into the net with the body half hanging over the side.
 The audience rose to its feet in horror, and {, rush was made for the stage. But while the tumult was at its height Aimee crawled painfully to the point of the net nearest the stage and was assisted to alight A dozen hands helped her to chair in the wings, and the curtain was lowered.
 After half an hour she recovered sufficiently to be removed to her hotel

coeBLER, JANIToR AND MAYOR.
Unexpected Outcome of an Indiana Num-
 cipal Election.

Unexpected Outcome of an Indiana Muni-
 cipal Election.
 WATERLOO, Ind, March 6-The streets last night were crowded with enthusiastic paraders, brass bands and banners. President Harrison was not in the consideration, and even the occasion of his inauguration failed to affect this place, at which was fought one of the most heated and unique battles in the political history of the state.
 The fight closed with the polls, and the re- suit of the municipal fight is that cobbler has been elected mayor. His name Is $. J. Hoot, and he combines his calling with the janitorship of the First National bank. Mir. Hoot is a well informed man of good, hard, honlely sense, which goes good way. E. T. Cowin, an attorney, was nominated foI mayor by non-partisan convention. He was not satisfactory to some of the citizens, and or election morning S J. Hoot was brou sat out as candidate.
 There was 6 good natured laugh, but Hoo, smiled pleasantly and said nothing. Before he opened the bank, bright and early, hs went to the polls and vo,ed, and then, like conscientious man, did not stop to discuss tho situation, but immediately returned to hi work. Many people voted f him ill prefer ence to Cowen, little thinking that the janito cobbler would be successful, but preferrins to let their votes go that way.
 There is a sharp rivalry between the eas and west sides of the town, and later in tn day the question of the candidates becam secondary to this social feeling. Then tn Knights of Labor and the railroad men began voting strongly for Hoot. When the vote were counted ne was found to have nor than 100 majority The business men are al most beside themselves with chagrin, whil, the supporters of Hoot are wild with delight

THE JESUITS' OATH.
A Toronto Paper Sued for S5O,Ooo f,

A Toronto Paper Sued for S5O,OO for
 Publishing an Alleged False Version.
 MONTREAL, March GA profound sensa- ton was caused in Canadian religious and legal circles when it became known that Trudel, Charbonneau and Lamothe had en- tered on behalf of the Jesuit Fathers an ac- tion for $50, 900 damages for libel against The Toronto Mail
 The libel complained of was an article pub hshed in that paper last month, giving an oath which it was alleged that every Jesuit takes when he enters the order. The alleged oath begins by calling God, the Virgin Mary and all the saints to witness the candidates declaration, without mental reservation, that the pope is the true and only head of the church universal, having power to depose heretical rulers and states. The candidate then swears that he will defend this doctrine and the pope's rights against all heretical usurpers formally renounces and disowns allegiance to any heretical king, prince, state named Protestant; declares the doctrine of the various Protestant churches to be damnable pledges himself to aid the pope's agents in every possible way; and promises to assume his religion heretical if necessary for the pro pagation of the mother church's interest
 The Jesuits say they do not take paths, but vows-three in number, of poverty, chastity and obedience. The Rev. Father Hudon rector of St. Mary's college, a prominen, Jesuit, said yesterday: ''Well, suppose it is politics. Some political party hopes to get some advantage by libeling the Jesuits, ant 1 can tell you that in all attacks upon oul body everywhere politics have been at tn, bottom of them"

It appears that Mir. Cleveland had left a lot of wine in the cellar which the departing steward had neglected 10 lock up, and some of the servants made themselves merry with it to such extent that when Mrs. Harrison came to look after dinner she found them not only unfit to do anything, but rough and insulting. Col Wilson was sent for and he soon created number of vacancies in the White House. New servants were found i'll the morning, but at dinner Monday night and at breakfast yesterday the family had to help themselves.
