In the Tolls.

Old Billy Blue, of Shepherdstown, vino
IS attracted here by every circus and who
never leaves until he is arrested and
spends several nights in the Lookup, is
again in that uninviting place. Old Billy
has been in town ever since the day be-
fore the circus and by his hilarious acts
and amusing contorhons has attracted
much attention and also many children
who always greet his coming to town with
much delight and about half dozen of
whom are always hanging onto his coat
tail
Billy got little too hilarious Monday
afternoon and officer Dutrow, after Civ
ing him frequent warnings to get out OF
town, arrested him.
The old darkey took his arrest with
grace and was put TO work at his old Job
of working on the streets. a ball and
chain was fastened to his leg, not to keep
him from escaping, but SO that the grav-
ity Of the situation would be impressed
upon his mind more greatly and he was
put to work on John sire t. Old Billy
works with a will and only stops once
in a while to play with the children.
He will be kept working for acouple OF
days and will then be released upon his
promise to return TO work in about an
hour, which promise he never fuiils. That
is the only way the officers have OF get
ting him out of town.

Tent Blown Down.

During a terrific wind storm, which
passed over Winchester Monday after
noon. the main tent of John Robinson's
circus, which was exhibiting there, was
blown down while the performance was
going on. The accident occurred when
the performance was about half over,
al about 3.45 o'clock
Over 5000 people were in the tent at
tie time. About 40 persons were IN
iured by being struck by poles and in the
collapse Of the seats. An almost inde-
scribable scene followed the collapse of the
tent. A panic ensued, and many people
were injured by being irampled on.
Even while the 5000 persons were
struggling beneath the fal3en canvas
thieves commenced to get in their work
Hundreds of hats, umbrellas and several
watches, rings and pockbooks were st0l-
en-. Many women tainted, and nearly
everyone in the general stampede was
paralyzed with fright.
Rescues We're made by cutting the can
vas with knives and lifting the imprison-
ed spectators to places of safety. All the
physicians in the city were summoned,
but many of those slightly injured were
sent TO their homes.
Fred OBrien, an acrobat and clown,
was the most seriously injured. His right
ihigh was broken and he received other
injuries. He was struck by a falling CEN
ter pole.
The performance was given at night
inside of the wall of the tent without any
covering,

Friday and is said to be an unlucky
day. The sun rose in splendor and all
nature seemed too quiet for the coca
siou. No guns opened their mouths
that morning except Porter's mortar
feet which lay up the river and had
become so common to US that no one
appeared in to give it.any attention.
1t was nine o'clock q. M. of Friday,
July the third, 1863. Gen. J. @. Penn

federate army of Mississippi, and staff
rode out under flag of truce-a big

headquarters of our regiment lay, and

FALL OF VICKSBURG
A Stirring Chapter Concludes the
Great Story OF the Siege And
CdpituldtiOn.

The veteran who has been writing
so entertsiningly of the siege of Vicks-
burg contributes the last chapter of
the stirring story today.
THE CAPITULATION.
After having depicted most of the
important scenes roundabout Vicks-
burg that came within my individual
observation, let me state that we 1.-THE
confederates) owned some excellent
guns which had fallen into the enemy's
hands and been turned upon US, play
ing considerable havoc. l will relate
one instance of the havoc they played
to show with what accuracy those guns
were handled by the enemy. Our forces
selected an elevation and At once plant
ed thereon large mortar gun with
the view OF driving the yankees away
from the big siege guns they were con-
tinually pelting US with. Now a cal
culstion is made before firing q shell
as to the distance it will travel, in Or
der to cut the fuse the proper length
to reach the desired spot before ex-
ploding. In this case the distance was
one mile. The point where our regi-
ment was static ned was almost on the
line the bomb would pass and about
half a mile from the mortar. We had
an idea as to the time the trial would
be made, so We watched for it to, pass.
Shells are easily seen passing through
the air, particularly one of that size.
We were using one about the size of
forty pound candy bucket. 1t was
beautiful sight to US to see and hear
the she'll pass.
The yankees, who were always on
the alert, watched all our movements
and before that particular shell ex-
ploded they dismounted our piece, thus
the power of those great
guns and with what accuracy they
were handled. The men who were
behind the guns were not down east
ern "Blue Stomucks, but true western
men. I learned afterward that they
were Missourians, organized right
where ''old Pap" Sterling Prices
regiment was-the boys he brought
down to Dixie.
Right there our last effort at STRAIT
