What the Coming Circus Is.

From the Slatington News, July 8. 1895.
The Sands Il Ashley circus trains came
in over the Lehigh Valley yesterday
morning from Reading and despite the
inclemency of the weather gave first
class parade and two exhibitions which
were well attended. If one is to Judge
from the applause and good words spok
en- of them after they had left, they gave
the very best of salts faction and sur
prised everyone with the magnitude and
especially the quality and number of
their animals and their exhibitions.
The show is given in two rings with
aerial acts and ground stage in centre,
between the rings. 1t is impossible to
describe the show in detail. Suffice to
say, that Il tirst-class entertainment
with plenty of novelties and fully up to
date was given. The racing and wild
west features were especially good.
The menagerie has four elephants, seve-
raj camels, zebras, sacred OK, alpaca and
great number of cages of fine foreign
animals which are really well worth
the admission price alone to see. The
horses with the show are as fine speci-
mems as were ever here with any show
and there are lots of them. Taken in its
entirety the Sands Il Ashley show was
the best value for the money we have
had for years and If they come again
they can rest assured of having a big
business.

half of several property-owners who re-
side near the site of the proposed school,
and protested against building there, as
the location is unsuited for the purpose,
There are number of saloons in the Vi

ON THE DIAMOND.

In two games at IIazlcton on the
Fourth McFadden played first for the
club of that town in very good style
He had two hits, seventeen put outs,
two assists and one error. Bonner play
ed short in the afternoon game, and had
but two chances, both of which he ac-
cepted.
Hall alone was responsible for the de-
feat of the local club yesterday. The
Tigers were ready to give him gilt-cdged
support again, but they could not pre-
vent runs in cannonading such as
took place in the first inning.
The Travellers went down to Weather.
ly on Thursday and found the club there
an easy victim. Both sides played
loosely and the score ran up to 81 to Is
in the Frecland lads favor.
Allentown, with Jack Milligan and
his troupe of sluggcrs, will try next Sun
day to redeem their recent defeat
Tighe, recently with Pottsville, has
been blacklisted for jumping to Re-
chester
The Tigers have eight games won and
four lost, Percentage, 667.
Hazlcton failed to win game Thurs
day, but it was no fault of the players
borrowed from the Tigers.
Pfrom, who is now playing at Mill
vile, N. j., held the opposing team
down to three hits on the Fourth, but
the Cuban Giants touched him up for
eighteen on Friday.
The Stars played stubborn game
against the Pioneers, of Hazlcton. at
the park yesterday morning, and won
by the score of to s. Thirteen innings
Were required to decide the game.

From the Wilkcsbarre Leader.
Joseph Baker, a Polander who works
at the Hazard rope works, was before
the mayor on the charge of assault and
battery, preferred by Polish woman
living as his neighbor. Joseph had
been drunk and the prosecutrix pre-
sented enough evidence to warrant the
mayor imposing fine of 81 and costs
Joseph's wife was present and told the
mayor she had but 50, which she gave
up; and her husband was allowed to de-
part. As the couple went out of the
courtroom the wife soundly berated her
with an umbrella belabored him liercely
for his bad conduct.

Three Newspaper Men Arrested.

The attacks made upon ID. j. McCar-
thy, of town, by the Hazleton Sentinel
and the Freeland Press have resulted in
suits for criminal libel against the man
ayers of both papers. Mr.. Mccarthy on
Saturday swore out warrants before AL
derman Laubach, OF Hazleton, for John
Mccarthy, of the Sentinel, and II. L.
Edmunds and Ely Crawford, of the
Press The three were arrested, and
bail was furnished by all for their ap-
pearance at court. The particular ar
ticle published in the Hazleton paper
read as follows;
FREELAND's FIREBRAND.
The threat of ID. j. Mccarthy, the
flannel mouthed iirebrand of Freeland,
to arrest the Sentinel for libel is the ri
diculous thing in the Quay county fight.
Nobody could libel Mccarthy. His
character is such that nothing could
hurt it. His conduct in the new county
campaign shows that he is rascal who
who would not stop at any lie no matter
how mean or contemptible, and his eff
forts to make religious war at Free
land shows that he is dangt rous man
w any community. lie Is JuSt ds Dau as
he looks and his looks are Justification
for all the bad things one could say
about him.
The above was republished by the
Freeland paper, which, in addition.
printed other items that reelected upon
the defendant as president of the school
board. Editor Mccarthy states that "a
number of II1uiR ton attorneys have pro-
nounceds the a9ticle libelous. There is
no do but that the cases will be push
ed to file limit of the law.

fenced to three years in the state prlS-
on by Judge Bum.

cause why writ of haheas corpus

one of fact as to whether Biackbird
was a citizen or belonged to an INDIAN
tribe: that this was a question W1thln
the Jurisdiction of the trial court, and
that a decision of that court could not
be reversed by habeas corpus proceed
ings.
Judge Jenkins held this opinion
also and further held that the only
remedy the prisoner had If any, was
by writ of error. reviewing the de-
cision of Judge Bum by the supreme
court of the United States.
At the request Of District Attorney
Briggs of the western district who
set forth the Importance of the matter
Judge Jenkins win hand down a de-
cision on the main question. which Is
whether the United States district
court at Madison had Jurisdiction TO
try and Indian provided 1t was shown
that he was citizen Of the United
States under the allotment act Judge
Jenkins win decide this question in
few days

1t is said the break between yander-
bilt and his wife came ut THE Close Of
yachuing "trip ON board the ValiAnt
last summer, during which it is al
legged unat Mrs. Vanderbilt was sub
jected to indignities in the presence
of their friends that made 1T rmpos-
sible to longer defer the action. 1t is
alleged that Vanderbilt's relations with
Mile Nerlstreuter Were openly para
ded by him with the purpose of fore
ing his Wife TO take cognizlnce of
them. VandeIbilt's friends report that
prior to this yachting "trip his behavior
toward Mrs. Vanderbilt had always
been considerable, and he had before
THAT time conducted himself in an ex-
empaary manner. Though the fact has
been known for some months that
Vanderbilt had agreed upon a general
proposition of divorce. it was not
known by the public UNTIL the decree
was filed THAT proceedings had been
begun Vanderbilt met Miss Smith,
who afterwards became his Wife in
1878. when he was % years of age.
1t is understood THAT the settlement
upon Mrs. Vanderbilt includes the
marble palace ut Newport, the resi-
de'llte ut the corner OF sd street and
9TH avenue and money and securities
that will make her income 100000 Il
year. The woman in the case is
Nellie Neulstretter one of the most
beautiful of the queens OF the Psn'isian
n all tn
have given her all of his large winl-
nings at the last grand prix de Panis.
At present Vanderbilt is cruising on
board the yacht Valiant in the Med
ftplruneln.
The action for a divorce was brought
by Mrs. Vanderbilt on grounds of
adultery. Judge Barrett in his decree
after granting the divorce says: And
it is further adjudged and decrted by
this court that it shall be lawful for
the said plaintiff, Alva r. Vanderbilt,
to marry again during the life of the
defendant, but it shall not be lawful
for the said defendant, VIM. Is. Van
derbilt. to marry again until the death
of the said yAlva r. Vanderbilt, and it
this court that the care and custody of
the children of said marriage. namely
Consuela Vanderbilt. VIM. X. Wander
blt, .Ir., and Harold Vanderbilt, dur
ing their minoritieS be awarded to
Alva e. Vanderbilt, the plaintiff, and
that the said VIM. X Vanderbilt, the
defendant, shall be allowed to visit
the children at all proper times.
The utmost secrecy is maintained in
the action and as all the papers were
handed in sealed, it is impossible
to secure any of the details of the case.
Mrs. Vanderbilt will, it is reported,
leave the present residence and here
after live at her Newport house or in
her handsome residence, which is said
to have recently been purchased by her
in this city. She will leave with the
children for Europe about the middle
of March.
