PERILS OF CIRCUS MEN.
Fuller Particular* of the Fight of
Robinson's Men with Texas How.
dies—Scattering a Mob with Deadly
Effect.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer, December S.]
The report which we published yester
day of a fight between John Robinson’s
circus and a gang of Texan roughs
proves to have been correct. The follow
ing extract from a letter from Willis
Cobb sustains the other published ac
counts. The second extract given below
is from a letter da*ed Crockett, Texas,
November 23, and published in the Kan
sas City Times:
Hunt vlli*, Texas, Ndv. 25,1873.
We had the most terrible fight I ever
saw. There were over five hundred shots
fired on both sides. The Gillies com
menced it in the big show in the after
noon by one of them drawing a knife on
Lowlow. He made thatall right, though
we did not show atMflHkana just as we
wore putting the in the cage
they commenced stR^Hginto our men.
Qne of. the canvas mem was stabbed in
the bock, one was ' shot through the leg,
one in the side, another through the toe,
and-etiU another in the heel. There is
no telling how many were killed on the
other side. They fired into our train with
buckshot, which went through and
through the beasts’ cages, and four of the
shot struck the elephant. God knows if
they will toy and arrest the show or not.
The men say they will die before they
willbetaken.
Wo all came very near. losing our lives
yesterday, the 22d, at Jacksonville, 35
miles from here. During the afternoon
performance the canvas was crowded with
ptople, when fifteen rough Texans came
in during the third act—bare-back riding
— and one of them sat down on the bank
of the ring. Mr. Lowlow, our clown, po
litely told "him to Occupy one of the seats,

size, about sixteen months old, and the
other two, whichare+ut a little smaller,
are a male and female of eight months.
The old dog was imported from England
some time ago, and the other three
were bom in this country. They all be-

rather longer and lighter than is usually
seen on dogs of this kind. They were a
little lazy and climbed rather heavily
over the lower boards of the stalls when
the keepers removed the upper planks
and loosened their chains. Once outside,
however, they were active enough, and
the men who held their chains with the
intention of leading them to the auc
tioneer’s stand were compelled to submit
to being led themselves.
The first two exposed for sale were the
sixteen-months’ old dog and the so-called
pnp of eight months* . The latter little i
creature was restive, and with the. proba
ble view of finding his mother * he drew
hia keeper swiftly around the ring, at the
end of his chain. The older dog quietly
trotted up to the auctioneer’s stand, and
seating himself on his haunches, looked
with a severely repsoachful r air at the
man who was about to dispose of him;.
Capt. Barker explained that the chains
•lid not go with tiie (logs, and told pros

almost in despair. He has not attempted
to annoy her any other way than by the

bqt looks for a deteruilnation of the suit
in hii favor, ini which case he declares his

Another evidence of his claim is that
he will single out men who look upon

of circumstances that leaves but little

The actual appropriations for 1873-4
were $306,060,250. The total expendi
ture ol Great Britain is in a round sum
j£69,000,000, or $345,000,000, about $39,-
000,000 more than was appropriated in
1873- 4 and only about $26,000,000 more
than is asked for by our effiuals for the
expenditure for 1874-5. It may be inter
esting to compare the expenditures of
the two nations.
If wj deduct from the English expend*
iture the interest on the debt, amounting
in a round siuri to $135,000,000, there re*
main $210,000,000 for other expenses. And
if we deduct the interest on the American
debt, and’ allow fully $104,000,009* there
remained in 1873-4 $202,000,000, and in
1874- 5, if the estimates are appropriated,
$215,000,000, to be applied for all other
expenditures. It would not be fair to take
especial notice of the $30,000,000 pensions
in the United States and ignore the Eng
lish ' pensions, which, if the cost of the
royal family is charged to this account,
would more than make the $30,000,000.
Hence the two nations, after deducting
the interest on their debts, stand fair.
It remains to he’ shown what EtJgland

State vs. William Linlliaw.—• In lietuient
for misdemeanor, tried Jxrfore -Russell,
Judge at-Robeaon Superior Court, spring-
term, 1873. . v - j. t
Defendant was indicted for disturbing
a religious congregation. The evidence,
as detailed bv'several witnesses, was sub
stantially thisd Defendant is a tnemlier
of the Metoodist GUureh. He sings in
suoh a wav as to disturb the congrega
tion. At toe end of each verse his voice

■At One of toe-witiiesries being 'requested
to describe defendant’s singing imitated
it by mngiag-te verse*'iri . the voioo and
manner of defendant, which “produced a
burst of prolonged and irresistible laugh
ter, convulsing alike the spectators, the
bar, the jury and toe court."
It was an evidence that the disturb*
ance occasioned * by ’defendariffs singing
was decided and serious -. the effect of it
was to make one part of the congrega
tion laugh and to* other mad; that the
irreligious and fnvjlou* snjoyed it as fua
while toe serious and devout were io»
It whs also in evidence (without objec-
tion) that the congregation had been Ml
much disturbed by, it.that the preaehee
had declined to aiag toe hymn, and ghuk
up the bixik without singing it; that tha
presiding elder Urid' refused to preach in
to* church on accoant of the disturbance
oooosioned bj it; and that on one occa
sion a leading member of the church,
appreciating teat there waa a feeling of
soleomtty pervading the congregation itt
consequence of too sermon fustdeHvarock
and-fearing .thpfc it would be turned inti*
ridicule, went to top defendant and
asked him not to sing, and on that ooca*
skm he did not sing. 3 * e 11 " ,l ** M
It toeo appeared that on - many ooeo-

about his ‘ singing apd the disturbance

plied: “That h* would worship his God;
