ACCIDENT TO RoPE WALKER-In
Shawneetown, Illinois, on Thursday
evening connected with Keanes Rip
Van Winkle combination, was a young
lady, billed as mile Celestine, the
world-renowned lady rope walker"
whose duty it was to give free exhibi-
tion Of her skill outside of the tent just
previous to each performance.


The company showed in Shawnee
town Thursday, and in the evening
Mile Celestine was giving her part OF
the performance on a rope stretched
from the ground to the top Of the tent
centre pole, which is about fifty feet
high. The young lady was on the rope
near the upper end, balancing on one
foot when the rope suddenly parted
and she fell to the ground with terrible
force. A subsequent investigation prov
ed the rope to have been cut near the
ground, aud SO recently as to leave no
doubt of its having been done while the
performer was going through her natu-
rally dangerous performance. Medical
aid was summoned, and an examination
developed the fact that Mile Celestine
had doubtless received mortal injuries;
one of her legs was broken in two or
three places, an arm and her jawbone
were also broken, and all her teeth
knocked out. In addition to this she
sustained internal injuries. The citi-
zens were terribly incensed, and it is
thought if the fend who cut the rope is
found he will be lynched without cere-
mony. There was rumor that the
deed was the result of jealous madness
in the heart of an admirer Of the lady,
but the rumor was not sufficiently cor
rotated to warrant our stating who the
man is. There is a reasonable hope,
however, Of bis being found and hung
with the remains of the tight rope

although there was no evidence to justify such q

young lady. ana at length there was q reaction in
the public feeling against him. The story that the
girl had eloped obtained general belief Sheriff
Drew, however, did not share In this opinion, but

beneath an old stump, some brush and just

most terrible tragedy, growing out or rum and
Jealousy was committed at the West End at an
early hour this morning. The murderer is young
man named Maurice L0mansly, and his victim was
married man named Timothy Deasy. 1t seems
that Deasy and his wife were going home at about
one O'Clock. when they encountered Lomansly,
with whom they were acquainted. Both the men
were drunk, and during their conversation, as they
went along Cambridge street, Lomansy made
some remark which Deasy thought was either

lowed, and when Grove street was reached the par
ties commenced to fight large crowd assembled
and viewed the scene with evident interest and
with no desire to interfere. Both men fought with
the spirit Of tigers and finally the two fell upon the
sidewalk, Lomansly having the advantage by being
uppermost Holding Deasy's throat with one hand,
he employed the other in


PLUNGING A KNIFE INTO HIS BODY
In the region OF the stomach, and the blood flowed
from the wound as II from water.spout The
crowd, beholding the awful scene, set up a cry OF
murder, and attempted to retain Lomansly. The
murderer was too quick for them, however, and
was quickly flying through the Streets followed by
some the spectators, and finally by police on
Ger. One man attempted TO overhaul him but
was driven away by the flourish OF the assassin,s
knife. The chase was kept up however, and the
man followed on to his house, 10 Spring street
where he was afterwards arrested when found


HE HAD GONE TO Bed


He denied all knowledge Of the deed, but the
blood of his victim was still on his hands. The po-
lice took Deasy from the sidewalk and carried him
to the station house, the unfortunate man dying
on the way. The wife, who was with her husband
at the time, followed the body, and when the ofl-
GERS had placed 1t in the room she lay down beside
