How He Got Circus Posters Into Cana
da without Paying the Duty.
zone of p T. Barnum's most sue
cessful feats of bamboozlement, said a
New Yorker the other day, was played
upon the Canadian customs authori-
ties. The veteran showman's tours
were always planned far in advance,
and one winter he made up his mind
to take his great circus and menagerie
through Canada during the summer
after the next. This gave him about
two years in which TO mature his plans.
zone important item of a showman's
expenses consists of his advertising
placards, and Mr. Barnum was always
lavish with these gaudy prints. He
was aware that the Canadian govern
ment imposed high duty on this class
of imports, and yet he wanted to paint
Canada red yellow, blue and green
with a lavishness that no Snowman had
ever displayed there before.
Now there was no printing house
anywhere in Canada that could begin
W luil Oub bLS hlnu VI WOTh budb 01I.
Barnum required, either in size, color or
finish. Nevertheless, his immense post
ers came under the same classification
as much smaller Autographs and printed
colored matter did, and he knew that
the Dominion custom authorities would
not abate one jot of the full toll, but
would rather rejoice at the opportunity
to mulct the foreigner who would con-
vey so much money out of country.
$50 Barnum studied the question
while, and finally sent on at once
great lot of circus posters of the most
gorgeous designs whereon yellow lions
clawed striped tigers, and brown bears
fought with blue hippopotami till the
gore flowed into beautiful crimson
backgrounds. No agent appeared,
when the posters were detained by the
Canadian customs officers to pay the
duty. They were accordingly held for
twelve months, then duly advertised
for sale for three months more, and
finally put up at auction with a lot of
other unclaimed parcels, and were des-
ignated in the catalogue merely as col
ored prints.
Nobody took any interest in them
when the auctioneer called for a bid,
and finally the whole batch was knocked
down for a song to a secret agent of the
circus, who had been sent up by Mr.
Barnum for that express purpose. -

MCMAHON SHOOTS.
Mr. Jap. Mimic of Salem Victim of a
Dangerous Attack by the Wood
burn Editor.

Near 10 o'clock Friday night two
Marion county public men met near
the Salem Postoflice and shooting
affair was the result. For some
time the manager Of a Woodburn
paper by name of Leonard Mcmahon
mas been attacking Mr.. Jap. Miuto,
the Salem livcryman and promi-
nent politician alleging that he was
the head of a corrupt ring in county
politics. No one had paid any at
teniion to the matter, but Mr. Mimic
was considerable annoyed at the
personal character of the attack and
thought it was instigated by some
of his political enemies.
HE MET MCMAHON
And tried to ascertain from him
who was proprietor of the paper.
"Do you own the paper? asked
Mimic.
mo but l am responsible for the
articles" said Mcmahon whipping
out revolver. AT this Minto who
was unarmed sprang upon his as
sailant as his only safety, grasped
his weapon by the muzzle, received
ball through the hand, and turned
the weapon against his assailant,
when the hammer came down up
on his fore finger and did not go
off. II it had Mcmahon would
have perished on the spot, as Mimic
who is the stronger man had forced
the muzzle up against his antago-
nists throat. McMahon escaped
and ran for life, leaving his pistol
in the hands of Mimic. There was
no witness but a boy, and Mcmahon
was arrested. He was put in Jail,
and released to appear this morning
for hearing.
THE TRIAL.
Editor McMahan is out on a $3.50
bail, and will have a hearing at p.
M. before Recorder Goodell
THE ONLY WITNESS
TO the shooting was Albert Macy, a
boy about seventeen years old. He
was returning from the Presbyterian
sociable, when the trouble occurred.
M'MAHoN's DEFENSE
will be that he was not well; that
Mimic followed him for the purpose
of picking quarrel, end that he
drew his weapon and fired entirely
in self-defense.
An immense crowd had gathered
when
THE TRIAL
was called at 2:30. Holmes, Kaiser
and Conn appeared for McMabon,
Prosecuting Attorney Bingham for
the state.
Mr.. Mimic testified briefly. Au
who works at Ellis &
Whitley's livery stable then told o!
what he had seen.
Policeman Gibson then testified
ss to the arrest of Mcmahon, and
his admission Of having a revolver.
SELF DEFENCE
was the plea then made by Atty,
Kaiser, who moved to dismiss the
case, arguing that do crime had
been committed.
BOUND OVER.
Mr.. Holmes also spoke.
The court then bound Mcmahon
,ver to the grand jury, bail, $3.50.

WALES TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.
Manufacturers Waiting for the Pret

Manufacturers Waiting for the Pres.
ent Big Stock to be Consumed.
LONDON, July 2s.-The resumption of the
Welsh tin plate works is only partial, and
by firms fortunate enough to secure orders.
Work will only continue while the orders
last by week to week contracts with the
men. No appreciable reduction of stocks
In America is noticed. Prices are still unre-
munerative. During July the shipments
from Swansea have been under
1000 tons weekly as against 10000
TO $4,000 tons in the same
month in 1890, while the stocks now on
hand amount to 400 ,240 boxes, against
l,59O,OO0 boxes in the corresponding week
In 1890. 1t is estimated that three months
must elapse before the trade becomes brisk
again, but general confidence is felt among
the manufacturers that the trade will regu-
late itself within six months. The threat
ened American competition causes no seri-
GUS alarm to most manufacturers, though
some OF the less sanguine think that the
Americans will eventually succeed in estab-
hshlng trade, especially as they will be
able to adopt labor-saving appliances, at
tempts to introduce which here have already
incurred the resentment Of the men, and
will inevitably lead to a severe struggle.

a SPLIT AT CHARLESTON.
The Two Wings of the Democracy at
DaGgers' Points.


CHARLESTON, S. c., July 2s.-The unter-
rified democracy OF Charleston went to
pieces to-day without bloodshed, but with
more bitterness than was ever known, even
in the days Of active republicanism. dual
convention was held, and two executive
committees are now in the field. The re-
formers with large number Of bogus dele
gate met In another part Of the city
and marched down to Hlbernian hall in a
body, headed by ex-Mayor W. A. Courte-
nay. They rushed into the hall, capturing
most of the chairs and started in to elect
Mr.. Courtenay chairman before the chair
man OF the democratic executive commit
tee had called the convention to order. The
chairman, however, called the body 20 or
der and then left the chair With nobody to
preside over the convention.
THE REGULARS JUMP IN.
The regulars jumped in then and elected
b. +. McCabe chairman and captured the
books, records and gavel. The reformers
then elected Mr.. Courtenay chairman, and
the two conventions proceeded with busi-
ness. Futile efforts were made by the
conservatives to bring about a COM
promise. The regulars offered to elect q
reformer chairman if both Mr.. MoCabe and
Mr.. Courtenay would vacate. Mr. Courte-
nay declined aud the two conventions went
on, both In the same hall, and elected each
an executive committee. W. A. Boyle
was elected chairman of the regulars
and T. d. Jervey by the reformers. The
split in the party is now regarded as hopeless
and the feeling between the two wings is
intensely bitter. 1t is regarded as almost
certain that two tickets will be in the field
for the mayoralty, Mr.. Courtenay probably
heading the reformers wing and Mr.. Bryan
the regulars. Both wings will endeavor to
get the recognition of the state executive
committee
