with faithful portraiture of splendid
men and women. and their exhilarate
pastimes and enjoyments. The
great stage is larger than hundred
theater stages combined. and the
massive settings and historical prop
critics require special train for
transportation. Never in the history
of the circus has spectacle been
produced Of the magnitude and re-
gal splendor Of this Ringing Broth
ers performance. All the pastimes
of the middle ages are exemplfed |
in thrilling action by dueling experts

Fight in North Carolina.

Particulars reached Elizabeth City
yesterday of a fight which occurred at
Davis, store in Providence township,
Saturday night, in which six men were
seriously stabbed. The origin of the
trouble, which was between the McPher-
son and Jennings families, was caused,
it is alleged, by the rival attentions OF
young member of the Mcpherson clan
and enc of the Jennings boys to young
woman of the neighborhood. Some time
ago, it is reported, John Pritchard, who
isamember ofthe!McPhtr'on group, gave
the young lady watch. She in turn
either loaned or gave it to young Grover
Jennings. Pritchard Jennings with the
watch, and it was decided that the two
families should meet one night last
week aud settle the matter The
meeting was postponed until Satur-
day night, vixen all gathered at Davis's
Just how the melee started none seems
to be able to tell, as it all happened in
an instant. but when the fight was over
il was found that three of the McPher-
son boys were badly cut, two of them
seriously the throat of one was cut, and
the others ear was entirely severed.
Daniel jennings, father of the Jennings
boys, aged about sixty years, was badly
cut in the shoulder, and two Of the Jen-
nings boys were cut, one in the arm aud
the other in the face. During the fight,
which lasted for some time, Mrs. Davis,
iu front of whose house it occurred, act
ed as surgeon. and would bind up the
wounds of each as they fell. DIR. Nc
Mullen was sent for by the Jennings
men and DR.. Sawyer by the McPher-
sons. The number of men engaged in |
the fight ia varously estimated at from
eight to ten, but the three McPhersons,
John Pritchard and two men from Cam
den, whose names were not obtainable,
on the one side, and Daniel Jennings,
his four sons, Hiram, Eason, Claude and
Relf, seem to have made up the combat
ants OF the other. Those who witnessed
the fight say it was ferocious. Knives,
brass knuckles and hickory sticks we're
used with telling effect. 1t is reported
that the two parties in the feud will re-
and have it out again. No ar
rests have as yet been made.

The PIatt-Eiias Case.

New Yo4, January 1.-THE story
of the wiles of siren-like negiess,
over senile old man, so that she
was able to obtain from him al
most a million dollars, was told 10 JUS
tice Bischoff's court taday, when the
suit Of John R. Plat, a millionaire
octogenarian, to recover $685., 900 from
Hannah Elias, negress, which PIatt
alleges the woman obtained from him on
threats of exposure, was begun. Hannah
Elias was represented in court by former
Governor Black and Abe Gruber, while
Platt's interests were represented by
Lyman Z. Warren John R. Plat was
in court and sat beside his counsel, with
bowed head and listened intently TO
the proceedings. Hannah Elias was
not in court when the case opened.
Former Governor Black moved to dismiss
the complaint on the ground that it
allied to sufficiently state the cause OF
action. Governor Black also asked for
a Jury trial. Both motions were denied.
Platt was finally called TO the stand.
The old man feebly took the stand and
told the story of his relations with the
Elias woman. Hannah Elias subse-
quently came into court Platt said
that he always paid Mrs. Elias in cash.
The old man was handed ledger andaskec
to point out the dates and sums of money
he had paid over $50, 900 to the Elias
woman. All through the book were
records of many large sums amounting
into the thousands paid over TO Hannah
Elias. Mr.. Plat went carefully through
his books at the direction of counsel and
pointed out the various deliveries OF
money made to Mrs. Elias. The sums
aggregated several hundred thousand
dollars

Court CIerlxs Nav he Fined

Clerks of courts 10 this State are liza
bic to fine of $50 for failure to send to
the auditor of the State on or before
March copy of all the marriage H.
censes issued by them. The law is
plain, and it is said that many of the
clerks have failed to make the reports,
causing considerable confusion and
much delay. In some instances the
clerks are prompt, but there are many
delinquents, and the delinquents are
being stirred up by letters from the
officers here. The law requires that
the clerks shall make the reports up to
and including Dec. 81 of each year and
forward it to the auditor. - Richmond

IT BECAME known at Washington last
week that the President had intrusted to
Representatives Esch, of Wisconsin. and
Townsend, of Michigan, neither of
whom is recognized leader, the
preparation of bill to carry out the
Administration idea of government
supervision of railroad rates. Accord
ing to agreement the two bills intended
to make effective the Presidents policy
regarding discrimination in railroad rates
were introduced in the House yesterday
by The two members of the House com
mittee on interstate. commerce named
above. They have the hearty approval
Of the President, and were prepared by
the two members after full conference
with the President and with the assist
ance OF Attorney General Moody. The
bills are looked upon in the House as
the result Of such inspiration as their
authors have been able to get from the
President and the Attorney General.
This is thought to Indicate that the men
who have heretofore been the leaders 10
interstate legislation are not sufficiently
in sympathy with the proposed legisla-
ton to suit the President.

Denounced His Accusers.

Washington. d. c., Jan. 17.-With
dramatic fever Senator John II. Mitchell,
of Oregon, on the floor of the Senate
this afternoon, denounced his accusers
and publicly branded them as malicious
and atrocious liars" In a heart to
heart talk with his fellow members he
proclaimed his innocence Of the charge
upon which he, together with Represen-
tative BiDger Herman, of Oregon, was
recently 9ndicted at Portland, and ex-
presses confidence in bis ultimate vindi-
cation. 81 assert" he declared Sin the
most positive and unqualified manner,
that each aud every one of these charges,
in so far as they relate to or involve me
are absolutely, unqualifiedly, and afro
ciously false, and | here and now indig-
nantly and defiantly denouDce their
authors, each and every one of them, and
brand them publicly rs malicious and
alrocious liars. Senator Mitchell then
explained in detail this connec-
ton with S. A. ID. -Puter in having
certain land claims passed favorably
by Representative Herman, then COM
missioner of the General Land Office,
as merely a duty Senator owed con-
stituent. He. declares that he had no
suspicion of there being anything wrong
with the homestead entries in question;
that Commissioner Hermann changed
his ruling in favor of Puter's client
Mrs. Emma l.. Watson, upon an affidavit
filed 10y her, and that his personal deaf
ings in the case were identical with
that in hundreds of others where coRstl-
tuents had written him concerning their
claims before the departments. "And, "
he continued, 81 have done this invari-
iably without making any charge or ac-
cepting any compensation OF any kind
or character, and SO long as remain
one Of Oregon's Senators | shall continue
to do these things for my constituents so
help me God, even at the risk of one hun
bred indictments. In unmistakable Ian
guage the Senator then charged that the
alleged confession of Puter was
secured through promises of leniency
or clemency made by the governments
representative. After emphatically'
specifically denying that Puter had paid
him 80, for his services, he said
81 denounce the said ). A. d. Putner,
this self confessed and duly convicted land
thief and perjurer, who, with his as
sociates, facing the peuitentiary. as hav.
ing under promise of leniency or Glenn
ency, made by Francis J. Heney, prose-
cutting officer, representing the govern
ment, made this infamous and atroci-
ously false charge against me for the
purpose and with the expectation Of
saving himself and his convicted partners
in crime from deserved punishment"

Fire at Rockaway Beach.

Rockaway Beach, il. l., Jan. H.
Three hotels, five cottages and row
of bath houses in the West Avenue
section were destroyed by fire early
today which threatened to wipe
out the entire cottage colony. The
hotels and cottages were empty, conse-
quently there was no loss of life. The
damage is estimated al 1880, 600. The
flames started in the Waldorf Hotel
and spread to the Germania and to the
Colonial, all three of which were Quilted.
Two cottages near by caught fire, aud
they, too, were burned. The fire
spread so rapidly and burned so 6ercely,
that the local volunteer fire department
was unable to cope with the blaze and
assistance was sent from Far ROckaway
aud from Jamaica. The weather was
bitter cold and the iremen suffered con-
siderably.
While the flames were at the fercest
an effort was made to make in an en-
trance into the Far Rockaway bank. A
large hole was cut into the plate glass
window of the building, but before the
would-be bank robbers could carry out
their purpose, they were frightened of.

10 one of the most delightful entertain
meuts of the winter
Mrs. Ast6r's dance was given there
last week, and last night her daughter
in-law, Mrs. John Jacob Astor, was the
hostess. The entertainment was "small"

splendor that somewhat misleading term
has come to imply. 1t was in most re-
spects counterpart OF that given by
Mrs. Astor, only fever invitations were
issued.
The houses Of Colonel Aston and his
mother were thrown into one. There
was no attempt at floral decorations save
a proiusion of cut flowers placed about
in vases. There we're more of the young
er married set present and also theta
vored debutants of the winter. Mrs. AS
tor received her guests alone in her
drawing room, wearing handsome gown

The French Cabinet.

Paris, Jan. l7.-The French Cabinet,
Premier Combes. today resigned The
trouble which has resulted in this step
oi the Combes ministry dates back near
~ year. Dissatisfaction with the gov
eminent has been shown on numerous
occasions ssince that time. The first
trouble was with regard TO the govern
ments act in expelling the clerical
schools from France. This opposition
blew over, and for time it looked as
though thegovernment was secure. Then
came numerous small matters, all OF them
proving the straws which showed that
adverse feelings to the government had
been and were daily becoming more pro
nounced. In the latter part Of 1904,
came the interpretations in the chamber
during the course of which Deputy
Syveton slapped the face of Minister
Andre, the Secretary OF War, in the
presence of the assembled deputies.
Andre resigned, but the dignity of the
Cabinet had teen assailed, and lessened
by the incident. Finally, last week,
the chamber was the scene Of greater
disturbances than had occurred since the
Dreylus trial. The policy of the govern
ment was assailed, aud in no uncertain
tones. Premier Combes, at that time
asserted that unless the chamber gave
his ministry hearty vote OF confidence,
he would withdraw.
