Was n First Glass Show.

Walter l.. Mains circus and menagerie
has come and gone, having delighted the
small boy and interested and instructed
the older people who went "simply to
take the children" Those who imagin-
ed that Walter L. Mains monster rail-
road shows were cheap aggregation of
back number circus jokers were agree
ably disappointed. The performance in
the three ring circus was as good as ever
seen under tent in Aurora.
The trapeze work, acrobatic and tum-
bling feats are not surpassed in any
show that is now travelling.
The Fisher brothers in their wonerful
aerial feats excited the wonder and ad-
miration of the audience. No more dar-
ing gymnastic artists were ever seen in
Aurora.
The six performing horses under Mr..
Joseph Berries have no equal, and the
acrobats, High, Dave, Reno and Jack
Walton are simply unrivaled.
The equestrian feats, grand hurricane
hurdle acts, and hippodrome races are
all first-class and just as good as can be
seen under Barnum's or Forepaugh' s
tents.-Beacon, aurora, III.

Quarreling Over Craps.

1t seems that the late quarrel at Eber-
vale, between Lucius Robinson and
Thomas Brown, over a game of craps,
resulting in the death of Robinson and
the conviction of Brown for murder, has
had no effect upon the colored men of
that place, and they still continue their
favorite game of craps.
On Tuesday evening two of these men
named Thos. Marshall and John Mont
gomery sat down to have a friendly
game, says the Standard. Things went
along smoothly until nearly the close of
the game, when the deadly fire water
began to get in its work. 1t seems that
Marshall detected Montgomery cheating
and told him so.
This angered Montgomery SO that
soon a quarrel ensued, and the game
was closed by Montgomery ripping out a
razor and catching Marshall in the neck,
inficting an ugly wound.
Upon realizing what he had DONE,
Montgomery at once made his escape
and has not been heard of since. DR..
Cole was called upon yesterday to attend
the injuries of the wounded man, and
said last evening that, while the wound
is a dangerous one he would nevertheless
recover

Both Feet Cut OF.

Willie Romig, of East Mauch Chunk,
aged years, a son of Jesse Romig, a
well-known engineer on the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad, had both feet cut off on
Tuesday. 1t is another case of attempt
ing to ride on coal train, says the
Mauch Chunk Times. The train was
stationary on the siding in front of East
Mauch Chunk, waiting for passenger
train to pass.
Willie was on his way to the river for
a swim, but evidently first concluded to
have ride on this train. 1t seems he
was sitting on the car with his feet dang
ling down between the bumpers. When
the train started the bumpers came to-
gether and both feet were terribly
mashed. He was pinched fast and held
in that position until removed by per-
sons in the vicinity who heard his cries.
The accident occurred short distance
above the bridge. The little fellow was
carried to his home, where ampntation
was performed, taking off both feet at
the ankles. Otherwise the boy is not
injured and, being constitutionally
strong, he will no doubt recover.
The father was at his work on the
road. The last thing he said before
leaving home was to caution the boy not
to go near the railroad.
