one of the attorneys for the defence.
held a consultation with Judge Murphy.
after which Mr.. Barnes asked for an
adjournment of the case The attor-
neys for the defence concurred in the
request.
MI. Barnes said that certain circum-
stances ha d arisen which made itnecesr
sary to ask for the adjournment.
Judge Murphy said he was opposed
to any unnecessary. delay, but he
thought an adjournment was proper,
in view of what had been communi-
Gated to him. Sd
1t is understood an attempt had been
madet to tamper with someof the Jurors.
Various sensational reports are in cir
culatlon, but nothing definite can be
learned In connection with these
rumors it is significant that Walter
Brown, one of the jurors, arose during
the proceedings and asked to make a
statement. The Court, however. de-
clined to hear him until a more suitable
time, and adjournment was taken till
tomorrow.
1t is intimated that the withdrawal
OF Brown from the panel has been re-
guessed both by the prosecution and
the defence.

MISS FLAGLaR sURRgNDERs.
The Coroner's Verdict Was Technically
a Finding for M~anslaughter.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. miss
Elizabeth NJ, Flagler, the daughter of
General Flagler, chief of ordnance of
the United States Army, who acct
dentally killed Ernest Green, q colored
boy Of this city, last week, technically
surrendered herself to the warden of
the district jail this afternoon to await
the action OF the grand jury. At the
some time she appeared before Judge
Cole. of the Criminal Court, and was
admitted to bail in the sum of $40, 600.
When court had been formally opened
Assistant District Attorney Birney
stated that, in view Of the character of
the finding of the coroner's jury, it
would be necessary to submit the case
to the grand jury.
Miss FIagler's attorney, Mr.. Perry
remarked that while the verdict Of the
coroner's jury was complete exOnera,
tion of the crime, it was technically g
finding for manslaughter. He added
that his client was In court and ready
to furnish bail in any sum that might
be demanded. --
Judge Cole stated that he had read
the evidence taken at the inquest; that
in his opinion the a 8 was a bailable
one, and that SO, 600 would be snff-
Gent.
This was satisfactory to the assist
ant district attorney, whereupon John
Cassells and General Robert Merely
qualified as securieties.

SPECTATORS IN A PANIC.
A Terrific Rain and Wind Storm Struck
Buffalo Bills Show.

OswEGo, N. Y. Aug. 6.-While Buff
falO Bills Wild West show was giving
a performance before about IL, 900 per
sons here this afternoon, a terrific rain
and wind storm struck the town. The
immense dressing tent was blown to
tatteTs and many of the men we're in
jured. Toe horses with the show were
ais Btampeded.
Following this, the east half of the
canvass-covered grand stand was also
blown away, and the six thousand per
Sons sheltered in that part of the field
rushed down off the seats in a wild
panic. Many women and children
were trampled upon and badly hurt,
but were soon assisted away to their
homes. The Indians prevented a
stampede of the western half of the
audience across the arena by crowding
their horses against the ropes The
band did not stop playing during the
excitement, and at the very worst mo-
ment struck up the ''Star Spangied
Banner"
The show was also kept going, in
spite of the sheets of rain which swept
across the field Among the severely
injured is an employee of the show
named Brown, who is in the City Hos
pital, with a fractured skull. A little
girl was nearly drowned before assist
ance reached her, and Mrs P. Flana-
gan had her head badly cut by a flying
pole. That many were not killed in
the panic is regarded as a miracle.

ENGINEER GROWS LAST RUN.

PHoeNIxvILLE. Pa, Aug. Sin ed
dition to the killing of Engineer Joseph
Grow, in last nights accident, on the
Pickering Valley railroad, near Penn
bertOn, ten persons we're severely in
jured
Engineer Grow was fifty five years
of age, and leaves a widow and five
children. He had been in the service
of the company twenty five years, and
had held one run since October6 1877,
when his predecessor, with six others,
was killed in a similar wreck within a
mile of the point where the accident
occurred last night. In last nights
wreck, the engine and cars we're turned
completely upside down, and all lay
with their wheels pointing upward.
The train was running rapidly down a

GOLD TO BE N
Five Millions of Bullion Sent to the
Philadelphia Mint.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7-Superintend-
emit Kretz received at the PUi ladelphia
mint yesterday afternoon from the
United States Assay Office in New
York S., 0O1, 900 in gold bars. To NOR
row a like shipment will be received.
The gold was received in small wooden
boxes, irOn-bound, containing each
about 165 pounds of the precious metal.
In packing the bullion for shipment it
is divided into melts, one melt to each
box, making a total of over one hun
dred boxes received yesterday, and a
like number for the second shipment,
expected to arrive to morrow. No par
ticular significance attaches to the
present shipment, which is made about
once a year, usually when, sufficient
bullion has been stored in the New
York Office to warrant the transfer.
When received at the mint it was
stored away in the gold vault in the
basement until needed for coming
This will be done as occasion may re
quire.
During last month only eagles were
coined in gold, but with August the
coming of half eagles has also com
manced. Should q heavy draft be
made on the gold coin on hand the re-
s3rve bullion would be worked. This
ia liable to occur at any time" ex-
planned Maior Kretz, ''and it is neces-
sary to have at all times a large store
of the gold bullion"
A new departure on the part of Su.
perintendent Kretz is to always keep
on hand a. reserve fund of 800, 600 in
subsidiary coins-halves, quarters and
ten cent pieces.
This is for the convenience of the
public, !" he stated, in explaining his in
tention, so that, should a sudden call
be made at any time by any city for
small coins it could be promptly re-
soonded to. While we have not this
reserve just at present, it is the inten-
ton to coin the pieces as fast as possible,
and then store them away for that
purpose"
WASHINGTON, Aug Mr.. Preston,
the Director of the Mint, yesterday, in
explanation of the shipment of $40, OOO,-
900 in gold bullion from New York to
Philadelphia, said that it was the pres
ent purpose of the government to coin
with reasonable repIdity all of itsstock
of gold bullion. This amounts to nearly
$50, 00O, 600, about all of which is in
New York, Philadelphia and San Fran
cisco. There is said to be nc special
significance in this order for the coin
age of the gold bullion, as it is said to
be solely for the purpose Of making it
available for all purposes.

AMERICAN CANNED MEATS ARE
GOOD.
Secretary Morton Says German Crit
cisms Are Without Foundation.

Secretary Morton Says German Crltl-
cisms Are Without Foundation.
WASHINGTON, Aug 6 Sit is proba-
bic that since we have shipped 1,40O
tons Of pig iron and steel from Ycungs-
town, Ohio. into England, the Agra
rians Of England will soon demand
microscopic inspection of American
pig-irOn to sac that trichinae is not
contained therein"
This ocular suggestion, which was
advanced by Secretary Morton, was
apropos to the cabled statement from a
German paper, that. ''if the origin of
the timed and packed beef sent out
from Chicago could be traced, it would
be found that the packers buy the NEST
inferior quality, such as it is not right
to have sold in Germany"
Personally" continued Secretary
Morton, with a veterinary inspector,
I have several times passed through
the larger beef canning establishments
in Chicago. My visits to these places
were always ~unheralded, and, there
fore, there was no special preparation
made for a general viewing of their
premises, and their methods of slaugh
tering, cooking and canning beef.
From those thorough official investiga
lions, 1 am justified IN denying as
wholly untrue all that the German
paper, as above quoted, has said in re
gard to American canned meats.
The other statements, to the effect
that Americas pork, hams, and sausage
taken into Germany must h~enceforth
be stamped and microscopically exam
.ined, is nothing new. 1t is right in line
with all the recent efforts of the Ameri
can Government to pl8cate the Agra
rian element. 1t illustrates the effect
upon the United States of a protective
tariff, when Americans are the 'foreign-
ers ~

NEW ENGLAND'S BOTTOMLESS
PIT.

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug 6-Tne New
York and New England railroad is ex-
periencing a great deal of d mculty in
filling up an apparently bottomless pit
at Towantic, ten miles west of Water
bury, on the top of a hill, with an ele-
walton of 1000 feet. There is aswamp
at that point, which was bridged when
the road vas built. Recently the road
built a temporary track around the
place, and began to fill in the trestle
work, as it had given evidence of
weakness. Over 2 900 loads of gravel
have been dumped eff the trestle, but
with no ~perceptible effect. The gravel
dumped at night is swallowed up, and
disappears from sight before morning.
The officials of the road have nearly
tired of trying to fill the trestle-work,
out have orders to continue until the
new management takes control of the
road.
