The quiet little railroad town of Nc
Mechen had its monotony rudely dis
turbed at noon yesterday by a riot
among the employees Of Mccormick
Bros. Silver Plate Circus, which ar
rived in the town yesterday, and as
result of the fracas one man is very
seriously, and possibly fatally hurt.
Charles Sturgiss is the wounded man,
and his assailant was Bert Mage,
young man about % years of age. Both
are white.
Sturgiss was employed as side show
talker and manager Of the canvas
stands. Mage was fireman on the
boat which is carrying the show prop
ertv along the river. Mage 10 from
GallipOlis, Ohio. and has been with the
show since it started out THIS season
The show is owned by the four McCor-
mick brothers. of Gallipolis, and has
been showing in towns along the river,
being transferred by the tOwboat Eliza,
of Bellaire. of which Con Mcdonald, OF
this CITY. is captain. The show started
out from Pittsburg. 1t showed at Mar
tins Ferry Tuesday night, and arrived
in McMechen yesterday morning. They
pitched their tent in vacant lot IN
the centre of the town, right ADJOINING
the new Christian Church. About half
past twelve yesterday the showmen
were busy getting ready for the parade
of the show wagons and performers
through the town. 1t was then that
the difficulty occurred. The accounts
of the affair are somewhat vague and
the managers of the show were retl-
cent about giving any information.
They. however. take the part Of the
injured man and declare, without Civ
ing any details. that the assault upon
him was unprovoked. Others who say
they saw il. state that Mage was not
entirely to blame. and that Sturgiss was
the aggressor. From best accounts the
affair was caused by Strgiss giving or
ders to a number of circus men to get
ready for the parade and Mage took
exception TO his remarks. An exchange
of words and epithets followed. By
ISLANDERS state that Mage got out of a
buggy and started towards Sturgiss.
Sturgiss broke a cane over Mage and
the latter drew a large Barlow knife
he had in his pocket and stabbed Sur
giss viciously in the abdomen. Stur-
giss fell to the ground MORALLY wound
ed. and Mage started off on run. Sew

THE DRUMMER's LATEST.
In the Theater He Had More Fun Than
Was Intended.

In the Theater He Had More Fun Than
Was Intended.
The drummer always brings the latest
trick. Here il is:
Take spool of white basting cotton.
Drop it into your inside coat pocket,
and, threading q needle with it, pass it
up through the shoulder of your coat.
Leave the end an inch or so long on the
outside Of your coat and take of the
needle. Four men ont of five will try to
pick that whole thread of your shoul-
der and will pull on the spool until it
actually does seem as though your clothes
are all hastings and that they were un-
raveling not only your clothes, but your
self.
II was to see Wilson Barrett in
'Olaudian' in Boston last week, "said the
travelling man. 1T was during the most
interesting and pathetic portion of the
play. Everybody was rapt. was sit
ting bolt upright and didn't know or
care to know q soul around me, when
suddenly felt some one tugging at the
basting cotton that / myself had clean
forgotten. didn't say n word and did
not move. Foot by foot it unrolled.
Half glancing around, saw a mana
total stranger-yanking at the thread.
His face was scarlet. He had pulled out
about ten yards and was now hauling
in hand over hand. He didn't care to
stop, because he had decorated my back
and the whole aisle with basting cotton.
He hardly dared to go ahead, for he
didn't know what portion of my do
mestic interior economy he was trifiing
with. Rip, rip, went the thread Hand
over hand he yanked it in. The aisle
was full Of ii. For heavens sake, will
it never end?' said he above his breath.
II sat perfectly still and ran the
spool while he pulled. How wanted to
yell! never saw anything half so fun.
ny. The whole section Of the house got
on to it. They didn't know whether to
laugh at me or him, but sat and looked
on, amazed at the spectacle. At last the
stranger gave one frantic rip and ank-
ed out about l ] yards in one bunch. and
as the cotton got twisted around his
watch chain, over his eyeglasses, in his
hair and filed his lap. turned around
and producing the spool from my pock-
ct said: i am sorry misled you. You
see have about 124 yardsleft, but
presume that you don't care for any
more tonight. am honestly sorry, but
can't help smiling
"The man was modest sort of gen.
tleman in appearance. His face was as
red as fire even to his ears. He looked
at me and then at the spool. He changed
color once or twice, and when the crowd
caught on big laugh went up. -

The United States has!nearly finished
a wonderful Submarine torpedo boat.
Its mechanism is not of SO much i'm

bilities that it opens for future naval
warfare. With it it will be possible to

The real criminal in this csse was OF
course the wretch who. instigated the
imprisonment of a sane man, but the
laws of the State of New York and the
administration thereof come in for a
good share Of censure. 1t should never
be possible for q man or woman OF
sound mind to be dungeoned in an
asylum for lunatics. The law should
provide such medical examination that
no man could be pronounced insane
who enjoyed the full possession OF his
senses. Such examinations are always
certain where both able and honest
practitioners are employed. To allow
any other to pass upon the mental con-
dition of patient is crime beyond
