John RObinson's Shows.

As has been stated. John Robinson s
great shows will be in Alexandria on the
Sd of August. The Allentown penn
Item says of the exhibitions
The fact that fully Is, 900 people were
present al John Robinson's circus, shows
that the ancient love for the circus still
exists. 1t is born in our very flesh and
blood. In youth it thrilled us and in our
middle age it is our comfort and solace.
The smell of the sawdust is as fragrant
today as it was in the early morn of our
lives, when the circus was heaven and
the smiling, beskirted, bespangled,
adorable creature in blue tights, was Its
particular angel who filled our thong hts
by dav and our dreams by night. Wher
a man no longer loves the circus be ha
arrived at the lean and slippered age
where he fam must crouch before the mr.
70 warm his thin blood and muse over tn
DAYS that are gone. The first sign OF
old age is when We lose our love for th'
circus

for the present. The packers claim they
will not attempt to move a team. They
have arranged to have their ! 200 horses
on pasture and say they will handle
their products by rail. The packers are
notifying their customers that the re-
tailers must send to the storage ware
houses for their supplies. There was
more or less disorder in the evening IN
the stock yards district, and more is ex-
peated. The most serious affair last
night was the shooting of John Stokes,
non-union driver. Police Judge Sui
livan fined heavily the negro strike
breakers who ran amuck with huge re-
yolyers Yesterday morning. "The young
women stenographers who volunteered
to take the places of the striking wait
resses during the lunch hour will not be
forgotten by the company" said Judge
Evans. "Without them we would have
had to close the dining ROOM"
Chicago, July 27.-One thousand
teamsters employed by the Chicago pack
ing houses received permission shortly
before midnight from the teamsters' JOINT
council to join in a sympathic strike
with the butcher workmen. The STRIKE

morning. At the same hour ,OO'

ment. Earlier in the night the packing
house engineers voted not to strike ant

Chicago, July 27.-Six hundred strik'
breakers including train load of negroe
from Kentucky arrived at the yards thu
morning. They we're distributed amont
the packing houses, without meeting re
sistance. The police have dispersed al

The Injunction Proceedings.

There is no new phase in the injunc-
ton proceedings instituted yesterday by
Mr.. F. G. Spinks to restrain the city
from dispOsing Of its electric light plant
and electric franchise to private indi-
vidual or corporation. The City Coun-
Gil took no action in the matter last
night. Each member of the two boards
was aware of the fact that the city had
been enioined, and nothing could have
been accomplished in the way of legis
lation. A favorable report Of the finance
and light committees on the ordinance
granting the franchise would probably
have been adopted by a majority of the
members Of the Common Council, but
it would have failed of a constitutional
vote in the Aldermen. Mayor Simpson
has retained Mr.. Douglass Stuart to APP
near in the interests of the city when
the case comes up before Judge Barley
on Monday next. Mr.. Stuart will at
that time move that the bond OF the
petitioner be increased. 1t is averred
by those in authority that the city has
conducted all the preliminaries in the
matter in accordance with the new con-
stitution of the State, and that unless
there can be shown that the General
Assembly has passed additional laws
for the government of cities in cases
where public property is to be disposed
of or franchises granted, they fail to see
how the injunction can be perpetuated'

Case Dismissed.

A saloonkeeper in the southern Sec
ton of the city was before Justice Cation
in the Police Court early last night
charged with selling liquor to minors.
The charge was not sustained from the
fact that the young man of homage in
appearance would pass as one who had
reached his majority. The accused was
therefore dismissed with an adponition.
There has recently been considerable
complaint of the fact that boys obtain
liquor and are often seen under the in
fuence of it, and the police in endeavor-
ing to ascertain who entertains the
youths have the hearty approval of many
anxious parents. The penalty in such
cases is severe.
