SCENES IN NEW YORK.
La Gascogne, The AII-Absorbing
Theme,

La Gascogne. the AII-AbsOrbing
Theme,
New York, Feb. 11-Not since the
Umbria was reported, two years after
perilous voyage across the Atlantic
with broken shaft has there been
such excitement in this city as this
evening, when the news was flashed
across the wires that a steamer re-
sembling the long missing La Gascogne
had been sighted off Fire island, but
the inference that the French line
steamer was safe did not, for some
time, reassure the generally incredu-
lous public. 1t was too Sood to be
true, and it was only when the bull
letin was announced that La Gas
cogne was slowly making her way to
the port Of destination that the long
pent-up feeling of those who had anxi-
ously waited day by day for the It'd
ingS Of the missing craft broke out.
Sole Topic of Conversation.
In every hotel, in every club, in al
most every home i'll the city the sole
topic of conversation was the arrival
Of the ship, the hope of whose rescue
from the terrific storms which have
caused such terrible disasters in the
maritime world had almost deserted
the hearts of the most sanguine.
In the Offices Of the French line the
scene when the telegram was received
announcing the safety of the big liner
was "a striking one. The news spread
quickly through the city Hundreds of
persons besieged the pier of the COM
pany as though they expected that La
Gascogne would in an hour or two be
moored at her dock. This crowd was
reinforced every moment. Friends Of
French passengers made query after
query Of Mr.. West. the superintendent
of the line. The only information
vouchsafed by him was that the ship
was safe. They shook hands with each
other and laughed and wept with joy.
Over a thousand people decided on
staying on the dock until La Gascogne
arrived and it was only when a con
spicuous announcement was posted
On the outside of the company's pie
that she would not leave quarantine
until tomorrow morning that the anxi
Gus watchers slowly went to their
homes.
Feelings of Great JOY.
The rejoicing was naturally great

said this was another instance of the
manner in which the railroads fought
every measure they conceived to be
against them. The government should
own postal cars just as it owned post
offices. The railroads seemed deter
mined to control all the traffic over
their roads. He had found. in the
course of an investigation of the live
stock traffic, that the roads would
move no cars except those operated by
the Armours, Swifts and others of
Chicago. With their capital and their
power they coerced the roads to
handle their cars to the exclusion of
private shippers. Mr.. Pullman, with
his great capital, was also able to CO.
cree these roads into running his cars.

Mr.. Vest, and imposes double prices

Sistersville, w. Va, August 27.-To-
day Reynolds Circus was in the city,
and it was one of the rankest affairs
that was ever seen that was dignified
by the name of show. Not only was
the show no good, but the hangers-on
and followers are a gang of cut-throats
and thieves of the lowest kind. This
so-called circus has been showing
through the State for several weeks,
and from each place they have stopped
complaints of robbery have come. The
performers in the circus as seen in the
parade are the toughest looking lot ever
seen outside of a penitentiary. These
people gave a supposed entertainment
at Warrington one day last week, and
among other things fleeced several par
ties out of nice little sums of money.
One of the natives who got the worst OF
the deal followed the show to New
Martinsville, where they arrived Sun
day evening At that place he went to
the management and demanded his
money back, but they would give him
no satisfaction. That evening part OF
the gang of thugs lay for the fellow and
as he was coming. out of the hotel they
jumped on him and would, perhaps,
have killed him had not some bystanders
interfered. The man assaulted refused
to divulge his name at that time, and
his assailants could not be recognized.
The circus men did not give up, how
ever just because they were driven
away once, but last night after the show,
some time about midnight, they ran
across him again and this time they
beat him all up. The fellows lower
Jaw was broken, his face was all beat
up. The police went to the fellows
assistance and but for that there is
not the least doubt but he would have
been killed. The manager OF the show
was arrested after the police had hard
struggle and had they not pulled their
revolvers they would have been roughly
handled. Since the show has been here
two of the tOughs were arrested for
running a shell game and were locked
up. Later their fine was paid and they
were liberated.
