a party of Yale students assembled on

custom in years past, to view the Bar

crackers, torpedos and sky rockets.
The parade Of the Barnum circus was
booked for 10 o'clock and at that hour
the Yale boys set off the fire works and
booted and yelled like wild Indians.
The result was that eight horses attach
ed to one of the large chariots became
unmanageable, the driver lost control of
them and they rushed on to the side
walk, the pedestrians scattering in every
direction. Several of the employees of
the circus rushed to the assistance of
the driver and the animals were finally
got under control. Fortunately no
damage was done, and no one was in
jured. +.

A GREAT DIVA DYING.
Emma Abbott Is Now Lying at tho Point
 of Death.

Emma Abbott Is Now Lying at tho Point
 of Death.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.-Before this dis patch reaches the eyes of the public the death of Emma Abbott may have occurred For the past twenty-four hours the great singer has been lying between life and death at her hotel at Salt Lake. She ar- rived there with members of her opera company four days ago to fill four nights engagement at the Salt Lake theatre. Despite the advice of her physician she was unmindful of slight cold and sore ness of throat and went on the stage on the opening night.
 The following day she took to her bed alarmingly ill with pneumonia, and has been failing rapidly since. Saturday night at consultation the physicians said she could not possibly live. Sunday she was totally unconscious, and the end is thought to be not far off The dread dis ease is the same which sent her husband. Eugene Wetherell, to his grave two years ago at Denver.
 Miss Abbott was in San Francisco two weeks ago, and played most successful engagement at Baldwin's theatre. When she left this city for her journey east she was apparently in good health. How she contracted the illness is not known, but 1t may have been caused by the sudden change from the milder climate of the coast to the extremely cold weather pre- va,ling in Utah and neighboring states.
 During Miss Abbott's engagement here she drove out in 8 pouring rain to the house of Philip J. Boost, who is dying of consumption, to sing "The Last Rose of Summer" for him. He was passonately fond of the song, and had heard Miss Ab- bolt many times at his former home in Detroit. This exposure may have planted the seed of pneumonia in the system of the great singer.

TROUBLE AT BARNEGAT PARK.
Gov. Abbott Ordered the Militia Under
 Arma. hut There WaA No Riot.

Gov. Abbott Ordered the Militia Under
 Arms, but There Was No Riot.
 TRENTON, N. J., Jan. LA bad riot, which occurred at Barnegat Park Satur- day night, caused the governor to order the Camden battalion of the New Jer- sey militia under arms. The trouble was SO serious at midnight Saturday night that Lieut.. Farrow, U. S. A., fear ing the place would be burned, made the requisition for troops. Barnegat Park is the enterprise of 8 number of army officers to build an all-the-year-around resort iD the New Jersey pines, the residents to be army and navy officers. There are a num- Der of valuable buildings in the place, such as a commissary house. bank, carousal, a hotel, a number of high priced cottages, stores, and church. A grand boulevard and an electric road is being constructed, and this work has kept large force of Italians busy for some time, from 75 to 100 men being employed. They have had little or no money for two months, and were getting troublesome. Ten days ago they struck, and a sheriff:.an posse have been on hand watching them.
 Their pay was to be forthcoming on Jan. 1, but it did not materialize and the 1tal- ians proceeded to work themselves into a frenzy and threatened to kill Lieut. Far row and others who were protecting the place. The sheriff and his posse were help less, being largely outnumbered. The women were removed to the pines for safety, and all the energy and persuasion of the men were used to prevent the in- furiated mob from burning the buildings. The last resort was to call for troops. Gov. ernor Abbett placed himself in communi- cation with the authorities and they kept him posted. The sheriff succeeded by noou Sunday in getting a large posse who were able to cope with the situation and the governor ordered the troops, which wers being held in readiness, mustered out of service. The Barnagat Park com pany have been making extravagant inn provements and the assessments on the stockholders were made as rapidly as the payroll demanded. Lieut.. Farrow will call meeting of the stockholders at once and expects to pay the men before the end of the week.
 Last Tuesday the Italians told the man agers through Joe Marone, who was the only one who understood English, that they would burn the hotel Friday evening unless the $3 800 due was not paid by z o'clock in the evening. But the officers of the company promised to accede to the de- mands of the Italians if only little time were given then. So Joe Marone quieted his countrymen and prevented any disaster on Friday night.

Condensed Report of Proceedings in Sem
 ate and House.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-In the senate MT. Hoar continued his speech in favor of the elections bill. MT. Wolcott (Rep) ad- dressed the senate in opposition to it. The financial bill was taken up informally, and Messrs. Stewart and Reagan spoke against it. The discussion of tue elections bill was resumed, and MT. Teller (Rep) spoke against it and against the proposed change in the rules. MT. Hale and others urged the necessity of disposing of the bill inn mediately. MT. Hoar reminded southern senators that they had pledged their off, cial oaths and honor as men that they would give their devotion to the constitu- tional amendments if they were only let back in the Union, free from the conse- quences of rebellion. And now they were denouncing these constitutional amend ments as "a stupendous crime and blum der"
 MT. Hoar recalled the Copiah massacre in Mississippi, the murder of Fred Mat thews and the burning of his widows house, and said that within the present Christmas season that widows son, the Republican postmaster, a young man of 21, had been shot down in the streets of Carrollton, the home of Senator George. "How lonyp' Mr. Hoar exclaimed, "how long. God, shall the blood of these martyrs cry for vengeance from the ground. How long shall the murder of men be- cause they are Republicans be the only crime to which Republicans are indiffer- entf'
 MT. Wolcott, the young Republican senator from Colorado, followed Mir. Hoar in an animated speech against the bill.
 MT. Teller, Colorado's other R p.',lican seuatQr, then attacked the elections bill. In his state, he said, there had become a fixed notion that this bill was kept before the senate for the purpose of staving off much needed and much demanded finan- cial legislation. Whether he would vote for this bill or not depended upon the con- dition of the bill when it came to 8 vote, and he wanted an opportunity to vote for amendments. He was not out of sym pathy with the purport of the bill. He called attention to the fact that the pro- posed new rule would prevent amendments being offered to the bill. and on this ground he opposed it. He thought the senators could pass the bill by staying in session night and day, and called atten- tion to the necessity for immediate tinan- cial legislation.
