EQUINE BATTLE IN A CIRCUS.
Causes Fanic IN Which Two Young
Women Are Fatally Hurt and Many
0fbers BnoL IriUred

CLARKsBURG, W. Va, May %
During a performance at the Sparks
circus last evening. two trained horses
began to fight. The animals were very
vicious, and as they bit and struck at one
another with their hoofs the great crowd
IN the tent rather enjoyed the exhibition.
Finally one of the horses broke. away
from the other and rushed upon the seats
where the women and children were as
sembled.
Instantly there was the greatest kind
of panic People began to fight their way
out of danger, and the helpless ones were
trodden under foot without any mercy.
The circ people did ali they could 10
avert the disaster, but their efforts were
in vain. For fully fifteen minutes the
greatest confusion reigned. Many people
rushed frantically hither and thither and
absolutely refused TO listen 10 any direc-
tions as to keeping quiet.
After the tent had been emp.ied it was
found that Helen Berry and Minnie
Altman were lying on the ground. Doctors
who were called to the scene at once
made O careful examination of The two
girls and said that they were in dying
condition. They were bahly bruised by
the people tramping on them.
A mum Der OF other people who managed
to reach their homes are badly injured.
Altogether the people of the town are
greatly depressed over the sad accident.

are taking place here now. Hugh Tudor
Richa ards, formerly general manager OF
the Sonora Railway and the present holder
of a splendid concession for orange lands

kIlomerer, payable in per cent inte-
ricr redeemabie debt bonds, which the
company is TO take at par, against $4,000 q

plete the road to Durango and also make
its port terminus in the magnificent har-
Dor recently discovered by Colonel Wrot-
nosky, twenty miles south of Altata, at
the new mouth of the Culiacan River.
The principal stockholders of the Occi-
dental Railway Company are Sebastian

they agree to part with the constructed
line and concession is S720.000 in gold,
payable as to the first $50 600 on taking
over the property, 1000 In July next
and the balance in installments. of which
the last is'payable in January, 1899.

in railway ownership is the sale of the
Sonora Railway (NogaIes to Guaymas) 20

summated fact, the transfer having been
approved by the Government through the
instrumentality of Hon. Sebastian

Maria and Frances Butler
of Lowell Killed by
the Gas.
Heavy Financial Losses Caused
by Bank Failures Preceded
the Deaths.
It Is Believed the Women Despaired
After Losing a Fortune Left
by an Uncle.

LOWELL, MASS, May 29.-The bodies
of Maria and Frances Butler, two un.
married women who were about so years
old, who have resided at IS Washington
street. this city, for about sixteen years.
were found on the kitchen floor of their
home this morning. Both apparently
had been dead for several hours, from
asphyxiation by gas, and 1t IS believed
they committed suicide because OF heavy
financial losses due to the failure of sew
eral banks in Nashua.
The women were sisters and were nieces
OF the late ex-United States Senator
Crime of Ohio. When the ex-senator died
he left them considerable money and
they invested it largely through the banks
in Nashua. When the financial difficdl-
ties overlook the banks there it is said the
women lost heavily.
When the deaths were reported the in
spectors burst in rear window and found
it i'm possible for time to enter. owing to
the odor of gas. They found the gas jet,
which would have allowed connection by
tube or pipe to a gas stove, turned on.
On the floor, near the kitchen stove, were
the bodies of the two women, A hassock
had been placed on the floor and both
heads were lying upon it. The face of
one of the women had the appearance of
a person who had died suddenly of apo
plexy. The face of the other was that Of
one in dreamless sleep. Across the oven
door and up on the stovepipe were the
nightdresses, as if the women were pre-
par ng to retire.
Beyond the fact that their funds are
tied up in some of the savings banks of
Nassaua which were recently obliged to
go into the hands of receiver there does
not appear to be any cause for the suicide.
The women are reported to have been OF
a cheerful, sanguine disposition.

WtthdratUs His Gift of "The Bacchante''
From Boston's Public Library.
BOSTON, MASS, May 29.-Architect
McKim has Withdrawn his gift OF the
bronze statue of "The Bacchante" from
the Boston public library, and is very in
dignant at the way in which his gift was
received. Architect McKim is man of
great wealth and is able to crafty his ar
tistic tastes. When he presented the now
famous statue to the Boston library he
felt that the gift was one that would
greatly add to the attractiveness Of the in
stitution, and was grea tly surprised when
he learned that the officers of the library
were hesitating about accepting the work
on the ground that it was OF an immoral
character.
Many months have passed since the of
fer was made to the library, and as it was
not formally accepted McKim at last grew
tired and has now Withdrawn il. He is
very outspuken in his opinion OF people
whose prudery Is so great that it pre-
vents their apprecia ton OF art, and calls
attention to the fact that copies of the IA
nous statue are now exhibited in the prln-
cipal art galleries of Europe.

caught during the intervals when from
sheer exhaustion the convicts were forced
to remain quiet.
The tanks on the top story of the stone
building are entirely constructed OF iron
and In each one eight men are confined.
The men grab whatever is within reach
and all together they pound upon the big
stretch of iron. The result is deatenlng
noise. This pleases them, and TO add TO
the confusion they raise their voices In
chorus and shout until hoarse.
The bread -and-water diet has been cut
down. Twice day the men We're given
their allotted portion OF bread and water,
but now they receive it but once day.
Less than half loaf OF bread and tin of
water is their daily fare. They received
this at IL O. clock to-day. 1t is not a diet
upon which they can grow fat.
The strikers are among the mostdes-
perate criminals in the prison. Oliver G.
Winthrop was already in the dungeon
when the mob was brought in to keep
him company. Last night six of the bull
lets from the sentries' rifles were found in
his pockets.
Tonight a further punishment was
meted out to the rebels. All beds, cloth
ing, stools, candlesticks, ia bles and furni-
ture of any kind was removed from the
cells
The convicts watched the progress of
the work without comment. The con-
victs have nothing but concrete floors to
sleep on and their uniform as covering.
As they are packed to the limit of the Gu
bic air ordinance. they will probably not
suffer much discomfort from the cold.
Warden Hale finds this strike a problem
much larger than any lie has heretofore
been called upon 10 solve. He is worried
and anxious. The origin of the trouble is
a m after of con njecture TO him, but on the
outside of the prison it is sa that it ha
been brewing for months.
The Board of Prison Directors will
probably convene in special session early
next week, 10 consider the situation. One
of the plans advocated ty Director Will
klns Is the transfer of at east twenty of
the leaders OF the strike to Folsom.
The prison authorities have decided TO
close the prison and grounds 10 visitors
during the present trouble. The strike is
becoming contagious, and even the
women convicts in their sympathy now
hoot and leer their attendants.

faculty.
Reno Hutchinson, one of Berkeley's
football eleven, was chairman of the ath-
Ietic committee ard managed the events

ond. Smith (Stanford) also won the po-

mensely absurd. Swan berkeley got

time. The elephant and obstacle races
were the most enjo joyed by the large crowd
of spectators because of the fun they
Afforded. Dietz and Brown did the best
work as an elephant, and Smith beat all

Shot to Death at

Falls in His Tracks With Five Bull
let's In His Body-Story OF
Witness.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 29.-On
the borders of the Chickamauga National
Park, dedicated to the memory of one OF
the bloodiest campaigns of the Civil War,
a feud Of long standing ended to-day in
terrible tragedy. Judge Frank Osbourne,
a prominent North Georgia farmer and
magistrate, and l.. J. Barber were the
principals. The former, who was the
aggressor, fell dead in his tracks with five
pistol balls in his body fred by Barber.
The meeting wcs an accidental one In
store at Crawfish Springs, the eastern en-
trance TO the park. Osbourne, spying his
old enemy advanced with drawn knife
in one hand ard plow-point in the other.
Barber stood few moments undecided,
until Osbourne fourished the weapons
almost in his face. Then drawing his pis.
tol he emptiec the five chambers in rapid
succession into his antagonist, who in
stanily fell dead.
Barber coolly contemplated his work,
then turning he walked to the telegraph
station, where he sent two messages, one
to the Sheriff at the county seat, telling
him what he had done. and The other to
Chattanooga retaining a lawyer. The
Sheriff arrested Barber.
AS the dead man had frequently threat
ened Barber's life the latter went con-
stantly armed. Osbourne's friends are
incensed and further bloodshed is prob
able. Barber Is car inspector for the Chat
tanooga, Rome and Colum bus Railroad, a
man of quiet demeanor and excellent rep
utation. His victim was a farmer of con-
siderable means and wide influence in
North Georgia.
Storekeeper Bond was the only eye-wit-
ness. Bond is quoted as saying that Bar
Der began the alteration by demanding
of Osbourne if it was true that he had been
talking a bout his Bari rber's)wife. Osbourne
replied affirmalively and Immediately put
himself on the defensive.
