| After the Wind Had Lifted the IlN
CIoudburst Fell Upon II aud Flattthe.
II to the Ground Lions. Tigers ant
Elephants Loose Add to the Fright
MIDDIETowN, N. Y, July s-One mar
was killed and scores Of women and children
injured at Warwick, Orange county, Thu
afternoon by the wrecking of the tents OF
Sautcle and Walsh Brothers circus by &
cloudburst and tornado which swept through
the lower part of the village.
The afternoon performance Of the circus
was in progress, and 30 suddenly did the
storm arise that the large crowd in the
tents did not have time to get out and were
buried under the falling seats and tents.
There were about four thousand people
in the tent when at $3.50 o'clock, while the
athletes were doing the high trapeze act
the band suddenly ceased playing and
crawled from under the tent. There was
a tremendous peal of thunder and the aero
bats came tumblng from the top of the
tent. The manager entered the ring and
asked all present to keep their seats, as
there was no danger. He then called all
the employees of the circus and assigning
them to positions in the crowd, told them
to get the people in line and march them
out.
At this point the large tent was raised
some feet from the ground and was then
struck by heavy body of water which
seemed to fall from the clouds. Tents,
poles, seats and people were flattened to
the ground in an instant. The circus en-
ployees were the first to get from under the
tent and proceeded to haul it apart and re-
lease the thousands who were struggling
underneath.
The menagerie tent was blown down first
and the animal cages were blown over and
broken open, and the roars and screams
of the lions and tigers and the trumpeting
OF the elephants, which were running around
the tents, added to the fright of the crowd,
which dashed wildly in all directions.
The guests at the Red Swan Inn saw the
tornado strike the tents and they hurried
to the scene and assisted in the work of
rescue, many Of the injured being taken
to the inn. The body of Solomon Cohen,
rs years of age, was found pinned under
wagon. He had been insta ntly ldIl,d. He
lived in Elmira and had joined the assu,s
in this city on Friday.
Another circus employee, a tent man
was badly injured by pole falling on him.
The injuries Of hundreds of others consisted
mainly Of bruises and fright. Hundreds of
women and children had their clothing torn
from them in the mad crush under the
tent, and almost every one who was under
the tent received bruises more OF less
severe.
The circus had a run Of misfortune for
several days. Thursday the employees
were in battle with citizens at Port Jervis
and several were injured. Friday at Mid
dletown the parade frightened horse
driven by Miss Ida Denneline, who was
se verely injured She is a daughter Of
former Police Capt. George Denneline OF
New York, and has brought action for
heavy dana ges. Nearly all Of the animals
wore recaptured, but lion, panther and
a number Of monkeys are still at large
and are believed to be in the mountains
near Warwick.

BALTIMORE, July s.-To-day the Christian
Endeavor delegates passed in sightseeing
and tonight there was big gathering
at the armory. The talk OF the hour is
the speech made last night b. the Rev
Washington GLADDEN. of Columbus, Ohio.
He declared that there was tremendous
uneducated or miseduoated conscience in
this country. He said that people who
are active in church work, who are models
in communities, are doing things horribly
wrong, because their consciences have been
so duled that they do not protest.
A general slump OF conscience in financial
circles and in political circles, in society and
in the Church itelf," was the way he de-
scribed the condition.
"The one thing this country needs to-
day" he declared, lis a clearing and tonlng
up of the consciences of its citizens. The
phenomenon known as graft is wide
spread and deadly disregard OF the primary
rights of property, and the essence of it is
the appropriation for personal uses OF
public property or OF private property held
In trust"
He referred to such instances as the APP
preparation of stationery by Congressman
and legislatures, the pass habit among publ
Hcisls, the tax dodger and the public OH
cha who booms dub ic improvements that
will enhance the value Of his own property.
