THE CIRCUS BADLY DELAYED.
An Accident In the Ynid Here causes
Annoyance.

An Accident In the Yard Here causes
Annoyance.
The last Of the three big trains bearing
Barnum's circus did not get away from
here till 5 o'clock yesterday morning,
and railroad men say the show did not
reach Z%anesville until noon. The fact
is, the shoT is too big to handle. The
main cause Of delay here was an acct.
dent in the B. & 0. yard. Three OF the
si1ty.foot freight cars OF one of the trains
jumped the track near the Belmont mill,
and it was nearly two hours before ali
were got back o. the rails.
4 faint idea OF the way the people
poured into Wheeling to see the show
may be obtained from the figures below:
At Moundsville over $50 tickets for
Wheeling were sold on Wednesday; at
West Alexander over 10; at GAINESVILLE
1855 tickets were sold; over $50 people
came from St. C!airsville; even Cadiz,
which is much nearer Steubenyille,
where the show was last Saturday, sent
so people; several hundred Fairmont
people were here, and others from ss far
as Parkersburgand Grafton and Uhrichs.
Vile.
The town has not been 60 full of people
for 10, these many days. In the early
hours of yesterday morning scores OF
people were still walking the streets, un-
able to obtain beds or cots. Large door.
ways, store boxes, chairs in front of
hotels, railroad waiting rooms and every
accessible spot were seized upon as rest
ing places by people who were too late
to secure accommodations at the hotels.

"Reminiscences OF the Johnstown Flood,
Soon after the great food in the Con.
emaugh Valley, Pa, last summer, the
press dispatches heralded the news OF
an epidemic Of diarrhma at Johnstown.
The following letter from Rev. II. L.
Chapman, pastor Of the Methodist Epis.
copal Church, Johnstown, gives the par.
ticulara aud most successful remedy
used:
The box Of six dozen Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diatrhna Remedy
which you sent ut the suggestion OF
Hon. Wesley Redhead, reached US coon
after the great food and at q time when
diarrhea was quite prevalent. As soon
aB it BECAME known tina: I had the medi-
cine for distribution, there began a great
run on it, which continued until it was
about all gone. Every one, 60 far as l
heard from them, testified to it's virtues,
declaring it the best medicine for the
purpose they had ever used. Those who
got it shared it around with their neigh
hors, 80 that | am confident your gener-
ealty in sending it was productive of
great good. We used some OF it our.
selves and found it not only an excel
lent medicine for diarrhGl, but for all
kinds Of pain aud ~uncasiness In the
stomach and bowels. 1t has been re-
garded as the best medicine known here
for the diseases it is recommended for,
In view Of your sending such a large
quantity for free distribution among
poor people, l think you are entitled to
this testimonial in its iavor.-H. L.

EXCITEMENT DOWN THE RIVER,

Ing Parties out.
The neighborhood in and around
Crabbs landing, on the Ohio river,
twenty-five miles below Wheeling, are
greatly excited over what may be a sui.
eide or perhaps murder. On Friday,
July %, Miss Mary Nicklaus, who resid.
ed with her parents on what is known
as Big Run, three miles from the Ohio
hver, was seemingly greatly distressed,
and informed her parents that while
milking at the barn in the morning she
had been assaulted and bascly used. A
doctor and min!gtc. were Rent for to con
sole her, and elected the information
that Charles Shrader, a widowes who
resides on the adjoining farm, was the
guilty party. The news spread rapidly
and threats OF lynching were freely
made. The farmer stoutly denied the
charge, however, and the excitement
was somewhat abated, but on Saturday
morning it was discovered the girl had
m%ysteriously disappeared during the
night. Opinion il divided. Some are
under the impression that she has COM.
mitted suicide and ere eearchiug Big
Run and the Ohio river on the Ohio
side for her body, while others claim
she has been spirited away by the party
whom she claimed committed the
otleuse. Grea! excitement now prevails.
Mics Nicklaus was eighteen years OF age,
and prepossessing in appearance and we'll
thought OF in the community. Shrader
is about forty and a widower. Several
OF the searchers stopped at the Mark
Twain fishing camp and from them the
above information was gained by the

he cares to work hard on a farm at $40 a

whites make it unpleasant for him.
Many farm hands do not get sic per

for a colored man to open his mouth and
express hisopinions. When Evans frst
arrived be talked freely about the Force
bill and other matters, hut after he
Learned the rulesa he kept quiet,
and did not dare open bis

he remained there another week. The
coiored people, as a rule, are ignorant
and very few Of them ian read, or ever
see any. Northern newspapers and hear
very little about what is going on in the
North. The whites are very angry be-
cause 50 many colored men are being
taken to Massachusetts, and other States.
Mr.. Evans says those people dowa there
would fight the North again tomorrow
if they thought they could win, 80 bitter
is the feeling against it. They watch all
the visiting colored men from the North,

Yesterday morning a young man who
works at Denwooi and lives in the south
end Of the city, was going to work about
half past 8 o'clock when he found the
badly mangled body OF a man lying on
the i. 4 o. railroad track between For.
ty.Grst and Forty.Becond streets. He
called several people who were passing
near, aud Coroner Schultze was notified.
He went down and viewed the body
and Issued a certificate that the man
had come 10 his death by being run ovsr
by q train. There was nothing about
him BY which he could b. identified.
He was about five feet nine inches tall,
and apparently in the neighborhood Of
thirty.dye years old. He wore no coat
nor hat. Ills shirt was OF coarse gray
flannel, and his shoes rough. His
hands b~etokened a working man, aud
his whole appearance indicated that
he was an attache OF the Barnum 4
Bailey circus. On his right arm was
tattooed the figure OF bale!
girl and tho American flag, and
on his left n several words. The
body was badly cut and bruised, there
being q terrible cash on the head, and
the right leg being severed. It was con
iectured that he had fallen of one Of the
| circus trains and received the cut on bis
head, which probably either stunned 0,
killed him. A .north.bound freight
train which passed about 5:l5 probably
inflicted the other injuries to the body,
Blood and fragments OF flesh were scat.
tered for twenty feet. The body wal
sent to Friend 4 Sons undertaking

AN OLD MAN CUT IN TWO


Robert Davis, n Veteran Of Two Wars.
Killed at Mound.yilio.
About a quarter before nine o'clock
yesterday forenoon Robert Davis, a we'll
known old citizen Of Moundsyille, was
walking on the Ohio River railroad
track from his shop to his house. when
he was struck bya freight train, knocked
down and run over. He was cut in
two across the abdomen, the cut being
as clean as il made by a huge knife.
Death was, OF course, instantaneous. He
was badly bruised and cut besides the
fatal injury.
The body was carried at once into the
Ohio River railroad passenger station,
aud Justice Of the Peace L. M. Criswell
%impanelled a jury and held an inquest.
1t was developed that the engineer OF
the train was making a running switch,
and the noise made by the engine on the
parallel track prevented Mr.. Davis hear.
ing the approaching train on the same
track he was walking on.
Mr. Davis was a pensioner. He served
both in the Mexican war and in the
Union army In the rebellion. His wife
died six weeks or two months ago. Mrs.
Price, OF Moundsville, ia his daughter,
and James II. Fountain is a stepson.
