In st. Louis to-day is remarkably large,
the immense number of people having

the fifth of the series of twelve grand
Examinations which are making the

for perfect illumination, tonight is
really the first night in which i, has
been possible to light up each one of
the $4,000, and successful as the earlier
Examinations were, the cffc ! tonight
far exceeds them.
The carnival is now at its height
and the Exposition is proving a Won
derfnl success, the attendance during
the first week showing an increase of
over % per cent. Gilmore with his
strengthened band of 100 pieces is do
ing magnificent work, and so popular
are his concerts that many who obtain
good seats to hear them remain seated
during the hours of intermission in
order to retain their seats for the next
concert. The Exposition generally is
very fine, and the scenes in the aisles
and galleries call forth expressions of
admira ton from visitors from all parts

Strange Accidents Happen In Columbus,
o., During a Celebration.
Columns, Ohio, Sept. 17.--Over 5o,-
900 people attended the fair yesterday
and last night the city was overrun
and the streets crowded in every direc-
ton for squares about the capitol to
witness the display of fireworks which
had been provided by the citizens
Several people were more or less seri-
ously injured by falling piecen
of rockets and taken to their homes
before their names or extent of their
injuries could be learned. Immediate.
ly after the close of the fireworks a
great crowd was congregated on High
street near the capitol. In front of
the Neil house n miniature freak
named James Leach of Fairfield
county was giving vocal limitations of
various animals and crowd wedged
about him. A section Of pavement gave
way and over fifty persons were pre-
cipitated in the excavation below, a
distance of about ten feet. 1t created
a panic, SO that the work of removing
the injured was slowly accomplished.
They were sent to their homes and to
the hospitals as fast as rescued. 1t had
not been discovered at 10 o'clock that
any one had received fatal injuries.
Leach, the freak, who attracted the
crowds, is probably the worst injured
of any who were precipitatcd into the
cellar way. His limbs are broken and
it is thought he cannot recover

WASHINGTON IN GOOD CONDITION.
No Fear of Cholera During the Grand
Army Encampment.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE fact
that Washington will have within it's
borders next week more than 100, 900
strangers from all parts of the country
has caused some fear that if the cholera
gets into Washington from New York
they might carry it away with them.
The Treasury department is seriously
considering the question of imposing
restrictions upon railroad traffic
into Washington by way oof New
York city should there be any
further cases of cholera reported in
Gotham. The authorities appreciate
the danger that if by any lack of
caution on their part case of cholera
should be introduced here during the
encampment it might perhaps be
widely distributed from this city to
other parts of the United States. There
were several rumors flying about the
city to the effect that two cases of
cholera had been discovered in the
city. At the health Office DR.. Ham
inond said he had received no reports
of such cases and he hardly believed
they were correct.

four new cases and twenty-scven
