Wind Wrecks n Circus.

Elizabeth, n. j., May Sin a wind
storm that passed over this section this
afternoon performance of Huntlng's cir
Gus was in progress, and the tents were
crowded with spectators, principally wo-
menand children. The wind caught up
the roof canvases and ripped them from
their anchorings. Then the tattered por-
tions fell down into the middle of the
amphitheatre, causing a panic. Wo-
men and children ran in all directions,
shouting frantically. The poles came
tumbling down and crashed upon the
seats, and the racket that followed stam
peded the horses that had been perform
ing. Fortunately no one was injured, al
though there were hundreds of narrow
escapes. Police Sergeant James Walsh
saved several lives at the risk of his own
by diverting the course of the largest
tentpole, which was falling toward
group of women and children who were
too badly scared to move. Only one
small tent escaped destruction and the
circus will have to play without a cover
for week or ten days. The loss will
be $4,000.

The Sultan in a Panic.

Constantinople, May IL The Sultan
has not yet recovered from the fright in
to which he was thrown by the news of
the assassination of the Shah of Persia
The arrests which began almost immedi-
ately upon the receipt of the intelli-
gence have continued during the past
two weeks, until now more than / 800
Armenians have been taken into custo-
dy. OF this number 80 have been ex-
lied TO Anatolia. Notwithstanding the
fact that so many Armenians have been
arrested, the agitation against the Sui
tan is rather among the Young Turks
than the Armenians. A number of
Young Turks have also been arrested,
and 16 of them have been sent with the
exiled Armenians to lAnatolia. Seven
ty-three Turkish students at the militia
ry college at Kuleliah have been rrrest.

Two Dead, Others May Die.

Mcdonald, Pa, May "a fire en-

baby fatal burning of five children oc-
CURED at Mcdonald to-day. A large
two-story dwelling was totally destroyed,
and Mrs. James Cadamire and her in
fant child were burned to death. Five
other small children who were in the
house at the time ran to aid their mother,
and were ali so badly burned that but
little hope is entertained for their recov-
cry. The cause of the sad tragedy was
the fatal oil can, the contents of which
the mother was using TO hasten the fire
in the kitchen stove. She was just in
the act of pouring the oil in the stove
when a terrific explosion followed, and
in flash the entire room was like 8
roaring furnace.
Before the people living in the near
est houses could rush to the aid of the
unfortunate family all that remained in
the building was the charred corpse OF
the mother and tnat of the baby in hel
arms. The children were dragged from
the room with their clothing ablaze anC
were in the most pitiable condition.

On Monday George Donaldson,
banker and politician of Columbus, Ohio,
in an interview said: ''The Mckinley
men are going to see some real trouble
soon. If Mckinney is nominated on
gold platform the delegates from nine
western states are going to get up and
walk out of the convention. At the
head of the boilers will be Senator Teller
and his own state, Colorado, back of
him. But Mckinley is not going to be
nominated. You may think he is, but
you will find out your mistake by this
time next month. The temporary or
ganization of the convention is bound
to be against him, because thirty one of
the forty-five members of the Republi-
can national committee are opposed to
Mckinley.

whereby the opponents of the Canton

Kinley cannot count on those southern

than Dorman, aged about SO years, met
a fearful death in Watts township. this
county, Friday afternoon last. In COM
pany with gentleman named HANNA
ker, he was driving along the road, re-
turning from a fishing excursion. The
horse became frightened and ran off.
Hammaker jumped from the carriage
AND escaped serious injury. Dorman
attempted to do the same, but was less
fortunate. His ankle caught between
the spokes of the rapidly revolving wheel
and he was dragged a distance of a mile
and half. The animal ran ut its ut
most speed and when liberated Dorn,au
was beyond medical aid. He survived
hours and was conscious till death re-
lieved his untold suffering. He nara
ted clearly the details of the accident.
Dorman was an employe of the Phoe
nixviile Bridge company and was widely
known In many sections of the county
while employed constructing bridges.
His funeral took place yesterday.

THE Louisville Courier Journal prints
letter from Secretary of the treasury
Carlisle to Hon. John H. Jones, of Pres
tonburg, Ky, in which Mr.. Carlisle de-
fines his position on the monetary ques-
ton as follows:
"My position upon this subject is
briefly this l am opposed to the free
coinage of either gold or silver but IN Ia
vor of unlimited coinage of both upon
terms of exact equality No discrlmin-
alton should be made in favor of one
metal and against the other, nor should
any discrimination be made in favor of
the holders of either gold or silver bull
lion and against the great body OF the
people who own other kinds of property.
at is scarcely necessary to say that
a gross discrimination would be made
between the two metals if the owners OF
silver bullion were permitted to have
fifty one or fiftytwo cents worth OF Sill
YER coined and stamped as dollar, when
the owners of gold bullion were required
to present 100 cents worth of gold IN or
der to have their metal coined and
slammed as a dollar. The two metals are
coined upon terms of exact equality on
Iy when dollars worth of silver is con-
tanned in the silver dollar and dollar s
worth of gold is contained in the gold
dollar and when no more is charged for
the coinage of one than for the coinage
of the other"

EX-SENATOR PLALT' of New York, has
given out another statement in which he
says: "The Mckinley managers have
undertaken to break the force of my
charge that his financial record shows
that he is an unsafe leader for the Re
publican party at this time, by print
ing extracts from his recent speeches.
These extracts consist of a lot of general
phrases about the necessity of having
currency as good as the best, of our
keeping all our dollars equal in value,
and allthat sort of thing. But the McKin-
ley managers are away from the point.
The point is not that Mckinley has made
no remarks and cast no votes that tend
to the maintenance of good money, but
that he has made all sorts of remarks
and cast all sorts of votes.
1.-The Republican delegates, therefore,
should find a candidate who will take
Office with the confidence of the coun-
try and not with its apprehension and
distrust; who is known to be free
agent and not mortgaged up to his eyes
with pledges that he can never perform
and expectations that can never be sat
isfied; who is safe and not erratic, con-
servative and not impulsive, firm and
not impressionable. If these general
principles are agreed to, they render the
selection of Major Mckinley impossi-
ble."

THE claim of Mr.. Henry A. Dupont
for the vacant seat in the senate from the
state of Delaware was decided adversely
to him on Friday by majority of one
The result of all the legal and constitu-
tional arguments for and against was
that the Republican senators to man
voted in favor of the claim; that the
Democrats voted just as unanimously
against it; and that the Populists allied
themselves solidly on the Democratic
side, making the vote on the amend
ment, which declared that Mr.. Dupont
was not ENTITLED to the seat, 81 to 80,
A second vote on the resolution thus re-
suited in exactly the same figures.
There was no attempt on the part of the
Republicans to postpone the decisive
issue.

LAST week we tripped up the GosIing's
figures when it attempted to explain the
causes of the hard times and this week,
in reply, it quotes long article of Hen
~ Hall, in the Pittsburg Times which
abounds in figures but not in facts, tue
gist of which is in the declaration that
IF the Wilson bill were doing what the
Mckinley bill did-producing revenue
to meet expenses" and this in face of
the fact that at the end of Harrison's g
administration the treasury was empty,
the 800, 10000 surplus left by Cleve-
lands former administration gone, and
the plates prepared for printing bonds to
meet the necessities of the government.
Mr.. Hall, like the GoSiing. evidently
bases his statements on the assumption
that the people have short memories.

settlers in the neighborheod is not i'm

and asked for a detail of two troops of
cavalry to be sent to the reservation to
preserve order. This recommendation
has been forwarded to the secretary of
war for action.
The troops are asked to cooperate
with the agency authorities In main

urging this request, Acting Secretary of
the Interior Sims asks that this military
assistance be given for so long time
as may be deemed necessary.

the White House on Friday morning
and after very short consideration the
president decided to fill the vacancy by
the appointment of Judge Lochren with

Nelson's resignation WIS not unexpect-

SAMUEL FETTERs, of Chester county,
has refused to receive his pension mon
ey from the government. The depart
ment officials say his case is only the
second of the kind that has come under
their observation since the war.
Fetters during the war contracted a
disease which his physicians pronounced
chronic, and he applied for and received
a good sized pension. This he drew
regularly until short time ago, when
his health began to improve. and finally
he was completely restored to his form
er vigor. Then he wrote to the depart.
ment to cease sending the pension.
This was not done, and when the next
pension day came he promptly sent the
monev back to Washington. Thinking
Fetters was insane the department sent
an inspector to investigate the case, and
the result is that his name has been ia
ken off the rolls.

OUR currency, based as it is on gold
redemption, was never before so uni
formly good in every part of the Union.
The wages labor, paid in this currency,
are higher than in any other civilized
country. Under these circumstances:
what possible inducement can there be
for workmen, professional men, persons
with fixed salaries, or any other part of
our population unless it be those who
have silver bullion to sell, to change the
standard of value, thereby cutting down
wages and salaries one-half bringing the
whole business of the country into con-
dition of confusion and panic?

THE executive committee of the New
York Democracy has resolved to send
committee to the Chicago convention
whose mission shall be "to urge the
adoption of sound financial plank and
the nomination of candidate whose
record and utterances fit him to stand
on such a platform. In this resolu-
ton are summed up the whole duty and
policy of the Democratic party in this
campaign; and both the duty and the
policy have been made imperative by
the Republican canvass of expediency,
which has found its chief inspiration IN
the fact that its formost candidate has
been on all four sides of the currency
question. Already the Republican cam
paign gives signs of weakening. A
Democratic campaign upon the lines in
dicated by New York would offer the
highest possible guarantee of party sue
cess and in any event would contribute
confidence and strength to all business
interests.
