The Coney Island Carnival has come
and gone and Seneca Is experiencing the
"calr after Storm While the writer
has no axe to grind, as she with her
as they went just as everybody else did,
but for the information of those who did
rot 20 and who criticised those who did
20, we will say that il there was tea
ture of tho show which would offend
the most careful, we did not see 1t The
various shows were good, the crowd good
natured and orderly. and the managers
courteous and attentive. A.remarksble
feature connected with the show was the
absolute freedom from rowdyism, or any
seeming results from whiskey drinking.
Our sister town. Westminster, !s esjiSyy-
ing the carnival this week and we can
almost hear the familiar cry of t'get
walkin' cane," "Do you love candy,
candy" and Have your fortune told by
Princess Flora, etc, etc."
The mayor had q case Of unusual char
acter yesterday when Claude Starks, ool-
Ored, was arraigned before him and tried
on three counts, viz: assault and battery,
larceny on the person and disOrderly con-
duct. On Saturday night Starks enticed
a young boy by the name Of Dudley Gill
strap from the carnival, telling him he
wanted him to go with him TO the resi-
dence of G.. w. Gignilliat for some grips,
Offering to pay the boy 25 cents. When
nearing Mr.. Gignilliat's residence, he
proposed going to the mineral spring for
water, and when near the spring searched
tened to kill himif he told. He found q
quarter In the boys pocket. The boy
broke from the negro and ran to town re.
porting the matter to the police, who ar.
rested Starks little later in one of the
tent shows. The Gilstrap boy lives near
town and is son of w. III. Gilstrap.
Starks was fined $50 or ninety days.
There are said to be three other oases of
the same nature against the darkey, the
same attempt at violence having been
made on other boys in town.
