traction at a Show.
Bpceial by News Telegiam Association.
Reading, Pa., August 14.—A unique
anti unexpected feature was introduced
at the evening performance of T. R.
Bulk's <dK*us in the shape of a wedding
ceremony in the ring. The bride was
Miss Lizzie Jones, of this city, and the
groom was I). O. Bauman, formerly a
resident of Kphrata. Lancaster county,
but recently employed as driver by the
Reading Transfer Company. The cir
cus was exhibiting at the lot, Sixth and
Greenwich streets, and the regular per
formance . had just been completed,
wheu, with the consent of the manage
ment, the bridal party entered the ring,
stepping to the music ol Mendelssohn’s
“Wedding March,” played to order by
the circtis band. The groom was ac
companied by Alderman Kramer, T. K.
Burke and J. W. Lovelauce, and the
bride was attended by Miss Jennie Al-
wood. A platform had been erected in
the ring, and this the party mounted.
Alderman Kramer tied the nuptial knot.
After the ceremony the groom kissed
the bride in traditional fashion, and the
couple received the congratulations of
their friends. The audience meanwhile
had been looking on with breathless in
terest, and when it was all over they set
up a mighty cheer. At the conclusion
of the wedding the management of the
circus presented $100 in cash to thecou-
ple, who left the circus grounds in a
coupe, followed by the lusty cheers of
the multitude.
Prison Rioters at Work.
Boston, Aug. 10.—After ten days
close confinement in the cells of the
Charleston State prison, in consequence
of the recent riot, two-thirds of the
prisoners went to work this morning.
The majority of them were pleased with
the idea of resuming work, for confine
ment in individual cells is as great a
punishment to the well-disposed prison
er as can be inflicted. No disturbance
occurred. The shoe and brush shops,
where the rioters smashed and damaged
the machinery, are not quite ready for
use. The ringleaders in the disturbance
were in prison parlance, ’‘planted” in
cells in the prison proper, which means
that they will remain where placed for
some time to come, a mild form of pun
ishment as compared with incarcera
tion in Fort Russell.
Kemmler’s Executioners Criticised.
London, Aug. 16.—The Lancet, the
leading medical organ, discussing the
Kemmler execution, says: “The oper
ators in the Kemuiler case used their
mimic lightning with all the clumsiness
of mortal inability. They burned the
skull and a portion of the back, and ex
ploded the sinuses of the brain. No
doubt they were fortuuate enough lo
render the man senseless at the first
blow, just as they would have done if
they had struck him on the head and
back with a red-hot hammer, but there
was found no mark of the electrical cur
rent in or through the viscera of the
body. The man was killed by concus
sion of the brain and explosion within
the closed cavity of the skull, just as a
man may be killed by apoplexy or sun
stroke.”
He Stole a House.

Cairo, 111., August 15.—H. M. Britt,
an employee of the Catche levee in this
county, hailing from St. Louis, is un
der arrest in this city charged with
stealing a house from Tom Easley. The
latter had built the house on a piece of
land and rented it, but the renter gave
it up seveial months ago. Some days
ago Easley went to repair it for the
tenant, but it was gone. After a long
search he found it, several miles from
the farm, near the Cetche levee, and oc
cupied by Britt, who had deliberately
taken it down and set it up again in its
new location.

Wrote His Feelings Too Forcibly.
Lancaster, Aug., 14.—United States
Commissioner Kennedy today held
Charles McClellan Gabriel, of Colum
bia, in $u00 hail to answer the charge
of sending an obscene letter through the
niails. Jn October, 1889, Gabriel was
in Denver, Col., attending the meeting
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers. He bought a watch in an auc
tion room and it turned out to be com
paratively worthless. Gabriel wrote a

language far more forcible than elegant.
The recipient sent the letter to the
Postofllco department, .and Inspector
Moore, of eastern Pennsylvania, was or
dered to prosecute Gabriel.

Bali. Ground, Ga., A ugust 15 1890.
Col. Thomas E Winn. Lawrknce-
vii.le, Ga. : Dear Sir:—I am acantl -
date for the fifty-second congress, sub
ject to the free ballot of every qualified
voter of the 9th congressional district,
to be cast next November, at a time
provided for by law, at which election
we have the guarantee of our grand old
State that our ballots shall be duly pro
tected and fairly counted, and the can
didate receiving the majority of votes
shall declared elected.
This is all I shall ask for, and but for
corrupt men,whose ambition is to serve
their personal greed by crying the par
tisan spirit; to sever the strength of the
toiling masses; to make of them hewers
of wood and draw ers of water, while
they themselves desire a seat of luxury.
I say but for such corrupt demagogues
we can safely trust, not to bayonet, but
to honest ballot, the pride of American
liberty and the price of American
blood.
We have now come to the place in
our political reform, that it will require
the moral courage of every honest man
to fift his hands, and pull down, and
raise his feet, and stamp underneath,
every corrupt method used to obtain
public olfice, which is a public trust
imposed for the protection of every
citizen.
If we would have good government
we must have good men to make the
laws to govern.
If it was not for iny claim and right
to run this race, made so by the voice
of ten thousand liberty loving citizens
who cast their ballots for me two years
a f?°» you would now be congressman,
made so the act of less than one-fifth of.
the qualified voters of the district. Your
claims to this were:
First. As au Allianceman, which, it
the Principle shall speak for itself, de
clares in a strictly non-partisan spirit.
Second. In a strictly partisan spirit
to re-enter, and start again, pledging
yourself to support partisan politics.
Although you have gone to Gaines
ville twice to start to congress, the
route is by Ball Ground.
You are now as dependent on the
whole people* as I am independent ol
the few who try to rule the tuauy.
Wc are both afoot again.
I npw invite you to enter with me in
to a joint discussion of the issues in
volved in this campaign.
The financial pidiey of our govern
ment is now questioned.
The scarcity of money as a circulating
medium and how to increase it, the bur
den of taxation borne by the laboring
masses, and how to lesseu it; the in
debtedness of the farmers, and how to
relieve them; these, together with other
public questions, the people have a
right to demand and hear discussed by
their candidates.
I assure you, sir, as a brother Alli-
anceman, so far as 1 am concered, the
discussion >h dl be carried out on a high
plane of dignified courtesy. I now
name Captain P. H. Lyon, chaimau,
Dr. C, Pickett and Capiaiu John B.
Richards, who will act as a committee
for me to meet a like committee of your
choice, who will name the times and
places of our meetings.
As this challenge comes from a moun
taineer, its motive is as high as the lofti
est peak of the mountains from whence
it is borne, and its purpose as pure as
the waters which go from its bast*, and
by their course find their way to, and
act as clarifiers of other streams.
Awaiting an early reply, I am
Yours truly,

A CRUEL COINCIDENCE.
It Occurs to a Boy Said to Have
“Spiked” a Train.
Special by News Telegram Association.
Cincinnati, Ohio, August 16.—Willie
Davis, a young lad eleven years of a^e,
and son of Mr. Jerry Davis, of 205
Tenth street, met with a terrible acci
dent on the Louisville and Nashville
railroad at the head of Patterson street,
Newport, yesterday morning. Ho, with
several companions, was stealing a ride
on a freight train on its w*ay to Wil
der’s station. Upon reaching the above
uoiut the boys all jumped off, and when
Willie made the attempt, he fell under
the wheels which possed over his right
* e K> cutting it entirely in two between
the knee and ankle. His left foot was
also horribly mangled. He was pieked
up and carried to his home, where Drs.
Davis and Phythian made an examina
tion. The patrol wagon was summoned
at once, and the little fellow was re
moval to the Good Samaritan Hospital,
of this city, where the above physicians
amputated both legs, oue at the thigh
and the other above the ankle. About
a year ago a passenger locomotive
jumped the track at the same place
caused by a spiked rail, and rolled down
the embankment, a distance of about
fifteen feet, alighting bottom side up.
A baggage coach was also thrown from
the track at the same time, and several
people were badly injured.
Thecompa mn of young Davis ta
that he is the boy who laid the spike ou
the rail which caused the accident. Of
course the hoy was innocent of the great
harm he was doing, but it is a peculiar
incident that he should lose both legs
at the same spot. Boys’ memories are
treacherous, however, and they are as a
rule fond of the marvelous. The benefit
of the doiibt should be given poor Wil
lie.

HE HAS HIS PICTURE TAKEN IN A
BATHING SUIT AND A SMILE.
Sir George Pullman's Thinks on the
Bright aud Shiny Past—Coney Island
and Other Fashionable Watery Places.
Who Knows of Van Poller?
[Copyright by Edgar W. Nye.]
Coney Island this season seems to he a
good deal improved as to the character
of its patrons. I was told that many of
the tougher class had gone to Tuxedo
and thus greatly increased tho haut ton
of the West End. I had quite a little
talk with Mr. Silas Drooler, the artist
and tintype impressionist of 'the West
End, early in the week regarding this
change for the better. He also says
TKfSKZS?
BY THE SAD SEA WAVES.
that many of the canaille of Coney
Island have gone to Ocean Grove for
the summer. Mr. Drooler took a tin
type of mo in bathing costume while I
waited; I give it hero with the aid of
Mr. McDougall, who has so kindly
volunteered before this at times to set
me right before the public. Very few
people look real well in a bathing cos
tume, it seems to me, and this picture
would indicate that I am no exception.
Bathing in a hired chemiloon with red
braid on it does not give me that gentle
sense of thorough ablution that I felt
when in childhood I defied the police
and, clothed in nothing but conscious roc-
titudo and a little bag of nssafeetida
which I wore around my neck to keep
off the prairie mange and other plagues
incident to a thorough education, I
plunged like a long, buff streak into the
bosom of the mill pond.
“Oh, them was glorious days,” as Sir
George Pullman says in his Night
Thoughts. “How lean and meager is the
salary we get today compared with the
joy that came with froedom and health
and fried mush and gentle sleep.” I was
speaking to Sir George about it tho other
day, and as he charged up a colored
porter with tho loss of a towel on his last
trip he heaved a sigh, and looked out
at window as who should say; “Ah,
what recompense have wealth and posi
tion for the unalloyed joys of childhood,
and how gladly today as I sit iu the
midst of my Oriental splendor and costly
magnificence a titled foreigner with a
glittering order ou my breast, but chaos
in my soul, aud thoughtfully run my
fingers through my choice hut changing
chin whiskers, would I give it all, wealth,
fame, title and position,, for one brief,
balmy, breezy day gathered from the
mellow haze of the long ago, when I
stood full knee deep in tho lukewarm
pool near my suburban home in tho quiet
dell and allowed tho yielding, soothing
mud to squirt up between my dimpled
toes.”
Tho West End is not overrun by wealth
and style or russet harnesses or clanging
carriage chains, but it has an atmos
phere of light melody and freedom from
restraint which is real nice, I think. 1
won a cane there daring the week by
throwing rings at it. It was not an in
tellectual cane, but cheap, aud with a
very small development about the head.
The more I go to Coney Island and watch
the ways of West Enders and cane ven
ders the more I notiee that the gold
headed canes are so wide across the top
that the rings will not bestride them.
The cane I got 1ms a nice red typewriter
head on it, made of celluloid, and the
stick itself is of pure hide bound Woe-
hawken mnlugga. It only cost mo eight
cents, but the cones I bought and did not
get cost me $2.85.
Pop com this year is flavored with
everything as neatly as soda water and
is less gummy, as a young lady from
Vassar said to me on the boat as I was
holding her hand for her a moment while
she was listening to some boat music.
Speaking of boat music in New York
bay this season, I think I notice n slight
improvement in that regard, several of
the bauds having been shot by maddened
passengers and their places not yet sup
plied by others. One entire boat band
was bitten by a mad dog in June; also
in the calf of the leg, and no one has
been raised up to take its place us I write.
Much good may be done at times, 1
think, by well directed hydrophobia. A
colored quartet who thought they sang
on board the excursion boat which last
year encircled Staten Island daily now
imagine that they are singing at South
Beach. For the privilege of wauling on
that trip last year these men had to
pay the boat a small sum. Toward
autumn their wives raised it by laundry
efforts. Nothing was paid in by passen
gers except ouoe. An ill guided man
from Poughkeepsie who was deaf and also
absent minded gave them five cents on
the 18th of July, but he was observed by
another passenger and the next day the
body of the Poughkeepsie man was found
far out to sea with an airtight stove tied
around his neck.
These colored gentlemen are dependent
solely on their voices and their wives for
support. If they were not permitted to
obtain their livelihoods by singing they
would have to work. I do not dislike
these musicians, but their songs, devoid ,
of anaesthetics, will kill burdocks by the
roadside. I like good coon music and I
will walk quite a long distance to hear * 1
it. but when it Is so rank that the rest- j
less oyBterB turn over in their little oys
ter beds and moan as the boqt goes over j
them I think it is time to coll a halt.
Many able prophets said that this year
would see a great falling oil in the at
tendance at Coney Island, but I do not
notice it. It was said that other new
resorts would cut into Coney Island
even as the enraged and outraged surf
had cut into Brighton Beach; but it is
not apparent. New York needs all the
breathing holes there are, and though
you go to one and think that the multi
tude cannot be duplicated you find that
it can over and over again at hundrSB
of other places, seaward and inland.
Good food can be had at Coney Island
at a moderate price, many articles com
paring favorably as to quality and tariff
with thoso in the city. Devilish crabs
and lionized potatoes especially are to
be had iu great , profusion and at reason
able rates to all.
Mr. Anton Seidl is holding his recitals
at Brighton Beach, and amidst the roar
of tlie surf the sweet .music of the
orpheelide and germicide may be heard.
On the day I attended Mr. Seidl was in
real good form. He does not play him
self, but merely does the ornamental
beckoning, and gives the playing his
general approval as it goes along.
The programme opened with an over
ture. which is frequently the case at
such limes, and was followed by a suite
of dances by Brail. It was from the
Ballet La Champagne, and one could
almost imagine that he saw before him
tlw graceful, lithe limbed and giddy
skippers of the leg-itimato drama. Then
came some soft, easy going waltzes by
Gounod, Saint-Saens and other able
composers. After that Mr. Seidl intro
duced a Hungarian rhapsody by the
eminent but slightly lecherous Liszt.
It was No. 12 of liis rhupsodies, and
Mr. Seidl kept good time to it with his
little parasol handle. When the music
was completed tho applause of the audi
ence mingled with that of tho roaring
billows outside, and then some more
pieces were [flayed with great success,
closing with a selection by Nessler,
called the “Trumpeter of Skowhegan,”
if I am not grossly mistaken. The opera
from which it was taken from, os the
tautologists have it, was laid on the
Rhine, wlioro it was afterward secured
and utilized by Mr. Nessler. Mr. 5eif-
fert played the trumpet solo in this
piece, and was recalled at its close by
red message, he being somewhere up to
ward the iron pier in order to give his
ttrasic the right distance.
Mr. Seidl uses only the Cbickering
piano at his performances. He uses it-
by standing it in the pit with a large
monogram tarpaulin over it, bearing the
name in tall, gilt letters. Then at the
closo of the season Mr. Cbickering throws
off this horso blanket or sweater together
with half the price aud lots Mr. Seidl
have tho piano.
He also uses the Mason & Hamlin or
gan in a similar way.
1 lectured once in a large city for tho
lxmefit of the watermelon sufferers of
Georgia, and on tho programmes I found
that I “only used the Cbickering, erect,
overstrung piano” at all my entertain
ments. Somebody did well out of that,
but I was not in it, to uso a truism from
Socrates.
The time will* come when a prinia
donna may pause between her selections
while tlie orchestra proece<ls with the
interlude and, slowly but deftly remov
ing her artificial teeth, polish them
neatly on her elbow aud call attention
to their general good qualities aud biting
powers, at tho same time giving the
namo cf the maker and thus getting an
extra 6et at the end of the season.
Mr. Informal Williams, of Ninth av
enue, who has practically controlled the
jgjetzel market at Pier One for tho past
season, has opened a branch at the West
End and lust week shipped a whole fish
pale full of these toothsome victuals.
A hot Frankfurter works at South

Long Branch looks bright and smiling

many now faces are seen. I frequently
savo up enough during tho winter to
stop over at Long Branch between boats
by being economical.
I liko to visit the Branch each suin-
mor, and every one is glad to see mo

> the habit of hanging themselves, but
he was not there. His business had been
profitable, so they did not see why he
should suicide, unless he was leading
what is called a double lifo, and the two
families had got acquainted with each
other.
However, they dragged the Atlantic
ocean carefully and got a good many

the crying uoed of more- cleanliness.
One lady at Coney Island this summer,
whose homo is on the east side of New

plumbing and unsanitary charges for

Elfrida, came home after utilizing ono

People can’t ho too careful in that
way. A correspondent writes me from
Ocean Grove to know what he shall do
about collecting a slight bill of $500
against the landlord of a boarding house
there who rented ahouse of the writer
last summer for that sum. Toward the

A Foregone Conclusion.
It has caused no little surprise here
that there should be some doubt exist-
; ing outside of the state with regard to
the exact date when the present charter
. of The Louisiana State Lottery Conipa-
i ny expires. This is plainly expressed
| in the charter of the company, which
' being a public document is on file and
readily accessible. Even the present
charter does not terminate until 1895.
j Moreover, an amendment has been or-
' dered by the legislature of the state to
'1 e people, by which the charter or the
company will be extended to the year
li*19. Charters are necessarily granted
for a limited time, and their renewal is
a mere matter of form. This has been
fully provided for,. as anyone familiar
with the facts of the case must know.
Great satisfaction is expressed at the
management of Generals Beauregard
and Early, who, as superintendents of
the drawings, have maintained the high
standard to which The Lou: siana State
Lottery Company has always lived up.—
