DELIGHTS ALL!
The neutrality-suspicious.
ers Performances.

The stupendous menagerie, circus and
hippOdrome aggregation represented in
the united Great Adam FOrepaugh and
Sells Brothers Shows, which are to ex-
hibit here on Wednesday, October 10th,
scored the biggest arenic hit ever made
in Boston, during it's recent weeks sea-
son there The press was unanimous
among even the greater tent enter
tainments. In a notice subsequent to
a column criticism, the Globe says:
There was a large and highly pleas
ed audience at the consolidated circus
last evening.
1T is a far flight from the Arctic seal
to the hippOpotamus of the Nile, and
the desert to the white polar bear
There was ample room for choice and
selection in the variety of pOsturing and
eQuili briStiC featS in a range that went
all the way from tight rope and slack
wire walking to thrilling trapeze evo-
lutions and grand and lofty tumbling.
Whirlwind chariot races, skilful and
daring bareback riding and neck-and-
neck hurdle jumping filed the specta-
tors with the true spirit of the turf.
The dOcility of the performing ele
plants inspired the mind of the least
rejecting with a species of awful admit
ration. The graceful equestrianism of
the horse women was undiSputably
thing of beauty. The trick bicycle rid
ing in some of its features closely ap-
preached the marvellous.
1.-The grotesQue antics of the clowns
went far beyond the ordinary. The BIZ
cycle riding was fascinating, and final
Iy the hippodrOme races, which brought
the performance to a close, constituted
a fitting finale, to an admirably well
balanced evenings entertainment"

day as to the horse show, Ringing on the
question as to whether the aristocratic
Bit and Spur club, under whose auspices
the equine exhibition is to be held held,

partment will treat it as it would any
other offender" said the mayor. mo

CHINA NAVAL COMMANDER.
Visiting the United States and May
Order Wars hips.

New York, Oct. 16.-Commander H Y.
Chat of the imperial Chinese navy is Wis
iting this country and it is not impossi-
BILE that his visit will result in the build
ing in American shipyards of men-of-war
for the Chinese navy.
The commander, of course, does not ad-
nit this. He says that he is travelling
for pleasure, and that while the imperial
government may call upon him to report
about what he has seen here, yet he has
no special commission to examine into
American methods of building, equipping
and protecting fighting ships He has
been at the Waldorf for several days.
Chat has recently spent several months
in Germany, experimenting the building
of seven warships for the Chinese navy.
He also supervised the building of three
Chinese men-of-war in England
''Wiu any Chinese fighting ships be
built in this country?' he was asked.
Chat smiled, clasped his hands and look
ed at the other end of the room.
81 can't tell" he said automatically.
If he is not recalled unexpectedly, Com
mander Chat will remain in this country
for several weeks. He hopes to inspect
several shipyards and armor plate plants.

WRECKED A VINEYARD
Indignant Citizens Wreak Ven.
geance on a Wine Maker.

Little Rock. Ark, Oct. ia letter from
a prominent citizen of Warren says:
lone of the largest and most valuable
vineyards in Bradley county has just
been destroyed by a mob of enraged citi-
zens.
For several years a beautiful vineyard
has been growing about eight miles south
of Warren, the product of which has been
converted into native wines. 1t is al
legged that the sale of the beverage has
led to much drunkenness among young
men and boys. Neighborhood gather
ings have been disturbed and orgies be-
come of common occurrence. A meeting
OF citizens was held at Farmerville. at
which it was resolved that the vineyard
was the primary cause of the disorders
and the citizens proceeded in a body to
the vineyard and destroyed it."

on the rescue of Miss Cisneros.
It was one of the most remarkable
pieces Of newspaper enterprise and ad-

accomplished as all such things are ac-
complished, by the clever use of brains
and money. With money the New

JURY DECIDES BY CARDS
Game of Seven Up Played to Reach a
Verdict.

Ashland. Wis, Oct. lett is not often
that game of cards figures in a case
in court, but if the facts set forth in the
afddavits filed with Judge Parish today
are true, the jury's verdict in the case
of Ever VS.. Darwin. was decided in this
way. The suit was tried several days
ago and a decision was given in favor of
the plaintiff.
Today the defendant made motion for
a new trial and in support of the motion
filed the affidavit of Albert Warner, one
of the jurymen, alleging that after the
jury retired to consider the case the vote
stood eleven for the plaintiff and one
for the defendant, and that R. A. Kenne-
dy was the juror who held out for the
defendant. 1t was then agreed that a
game of seven-up be played by Juror
Kennedy and Juror Colliber and on the
result of the game the case be decided,
the defense to be given a verdict if Ken
nedy won and the plaintiff if Colliber
was the victor, C0lliber won and War
ner alleges that upon this agreement
verdict was returned for the plaintiff.

TOM WATSON AGAIN.
Big Fusion Arrangement to Run Him
for Governor of Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct ia combination
which threatens to give the Democra-
cy of the state a hard tussle in the gu
bernatorial election next year has
grown out of a conference between
State Senator Yancey Carter, the Pop
uIist standard bearer of the state, with
walter Johnson, United States marshal,
and Edward A Angler, district attor-
ney, after which the announcement was
made that the Georgia Republicans
would support Thomas e. Watson for
governor in the next campaign.
Watson will also pe on the ticket of
the Prohibition party and the Farmers
Alliance, and his popularity in recent
days renders it possible that some of
the Democratic vote will go to him.
The leaders of the machine Democracy
will exert themselves to counteract the
influence of this arrangement.

BOYS SUICIDE.
Was infatuated With a Little Cir
Who Loved Him Not

Parkersburg, W. Va. Oct. 16.-Geo. H.
Shrader. a boy II years old, committed
suicide yesterday near his home on Wolf
Pen creek. four miles from Ravenswood.
The boy had become infatuated with Ber-
tina Laughty. a young girl of Is years,
living near his home.
A day or two before the suicide the boy
told the girl that if she could not return
his love he would kill himself. Nothing
was thought of his threat until about
noon, when a gunshot was heard in the
woods near the house, and search was
made, resulting in the discovery of the
dead body of the boy. He had blown his
head to pieces.

TO BAR LOUISE MICHEL.
Her Conviction as a Partisan Mob
Leader Relied on by Powderly.

Washington, Oct. 16.-When Louise Mi
chel, the noted French anarchist, arrives
in the United States she will probably be
sent back to Europe at the expense of the
steamship line bringing her over.
Commissioner General of immigration
Powderly has received information that
she is to come to the United States some
time during the present month, and he
has issued instructions to the immigration
officials at New York to detain her until
a thorough investigation can be made to
ascertain whether she be excluded
under the immigration laws. Every effort
is to be made to keep her out, and the Of
ficials believe they will be able to do SO.
Among the classes of immigrants who
can be excluded under the law of 1891
are persons who have been convicted of
crime. According to the records of the
immigration bureau she was arrested in
Paris March 8, 1888, for melting a mob to
loot the shops of bakers, and was SEN
fenced to six years Imprisonment and ten
years police surveillance. This record is
relied upon to bring her under the head
of being convicted of a crime.

Shall We Bond for $40, 600?

The proceedings of both the regular and
special sessions of the council ara of unusual
interest this week. The council has decided
to call special election July 18th to vote
on the question of issuing $40,O 900 worth Of
bonds to raise funds to pave the business
portion of our main streets and to extend
the sewer system. The money expended
upon the sewers, excepting the proportion
paid by the city, would be collected from
the property owners this year or next and
the bonds paid. The pavement bonds run
five years, allowing property owners that
length of time to pay their assessments.
Considerable interest is being manifested in
the election and large vote will doubtless
be polled. To carry the proposition two
thirds of the vote cast must be in the affirm
atiye.
