TWO TWIRLS OF TERROR
IS FEATURE OF-CIRCUS
The “Two Twirl* of Terror” la the
rather startling title of a new bicycle
sensation that has been Introduced to
the American public by the Barnum &
Halley circus this season. The “Two
Twirls of Terror” is an imported act,
and had Its premiere at th<$ Folles
Hergere, In Paris, last winter. Al
though a development of the famous
Voln Meycle .act, which was first made

known to the American public by the
Barnum & Bailey management, It has
several original features quite peculiar
to Itself, and the statement that It Is
the most dangerous performance ever
attempted by cyclists can readily be
credited.
The Boiler Brothers, who present the
new sensation, arc expert wheelmen,
and before presenting the dual climax
of their remarkable act, they Introduce
a number of novel and unusual exploits
on their machines. John, one of the
brothers, then ascends to the top of an
incline, and, mounting his wheel, waits,
amid almost breathless silence, for the
signal to start upon his perilous Jour
ney down the Incline and Into space.
Presently the signal is given, the wheel
descends the runway with frightful
velocity, darts Into the air, turns a
somersault, and, landing on a second
runway, runs swiftly to the ground. Be
fore the applause that greets this start
ling exploit has subsided, the daring
rider has ascended q high pedestal,
placed over one end of a teeter-board,
nnd again mounted his wheel. Louis,
his brother, also mounted, takes a posi
tion at the other end of the see-saw,
thus depressing it. Suddenly, wheel
and rider drop from the lofty perch
and strike the up-tilted teeter-board
with terrific force. The tremendous
Impact throws the second bicyclist Into
the air. He also accomplishes a dis
tinct somersault, nnd, dropping to a
cushion on the track, still mounted,
wheels away unharmed. These per
formances, It is said, are so sensational
and, at the same time, are performed
with such lightning rapidity, that the
audience Is almost bewildered. One
New York newspaper writer, in de
scribing the effect of the act upon the
crowd, said: “It is simply paralysing!”
And this seems to be the consensus of
press opinion.
The “Two Twirls of Terror” Is not
tho only sensational novelty that the
Barnum A Bailey circus announces for
presentation when the big show exhib
its here Friday and Saturday, October
19 and 20.
VISITS SCENE
OF TOE FLOOD
Second Storm From
Gulf Failed to Reach
the Coast.-
Special to The Georg Ian
Mobile, Ala,, Oct. 3.—Governor Jelks
arrived here last night to visit the
stricken coast. Three companies of
troops have arrived to do guard duty
on the coast.
Sheriff Powers, who has returned
from the west coast of Mobile bay,
says conditions are much improved.
Negroes are refusing to work, though
railroads and others are begging them.
The sheriff insists that the women
and children be taken from the devas
tated points and brought to Mobile,
where they can receive proper care,
else many deaths will result from pri
vations.
Conditions down the bay and along
the coast are rapidly improving, and
many sections are reporting now that
their first estimates of damage were
too large. In this city, for example,
two days after the storm, prominent
Insurance men were positive In their
assertions that the loss would amount
’to between 34,000,000 and 15,000,000;
the same men now place the figure at
$1,000,000. Proportional reductions are
made In reports from other places vis
ited by the gale. The total loss of
lives has not been more than 100, but
it is not possible even yet to give a
correct aggregate.
PITCHED BATTLE FOUGHT
WITH ITALIAN LABORERS
Special to Tho Oeorglmi
Ashevlllo, N. C., Oct. 3.—News has
been received In the city of a serious
light which took place at a lumber
camp near Canton, this state, between
eight Italian laborers and as many
residents of Canton. Although no one
received fatal wounds, all participants
are badly bruised and all have been
arrested, charged with assaulting In
numbers, meaning a free-for-all tight.
The real trouble, It seems, started
between an Italian named Castellane
and a man named Murphy. Walter
Cregg, a friend 6f Murphy, struck the
Italian while he was engaged In the
fight with Murphy, and later friends of
Castellane joined In. One by one the
Hat of lighters was added to until near
ly 20 men were engaged in what seem
ed would result disastrously. The of-
fleers were notified and they Anally
placed all the men tinder arrest and
quelled the disturbance.
The men were taken before a magis
trate at Canton, where Castellane and
Murphy were fined, and the others re
leased.

REAR ADMIRAL 8APP
INSPECT8 NAVY YARD.
Special to The Georgian
Pensacola, Fla,, Oct. 3.—Rear Ad
miral Sapp, who has been at the navy
yard for the last two days inspecting
the wreck of the place, left there last
night and came to the city. He found
the yard in a very bad condition, the
loss being about $1,000,000. The mag
nificent oaks which line the walks In
the yard have been destroyed, being
torn up by the roots.
With the exception of the report of
the loss of two entire families there
are no new developments in the situa
tion here.
Charles Mann, who had his fish busi
ness at Caswell, Ala., swept away,
reached the citj' and reported that
Shell Banks, Ala., a town on Perdido
bay, In Baldwin county, had been
swept .from the earth and that he
learned before leaving that two fami
lies had been lost. He also reported
that many of the small fishing hamlets
along the shores of Perdido bay had
been swept away, but he had heard
nothing of any casualties further than
those reported.
United States Senator Mallory today
Inspected Santa Rosa Island, across
the bay from the city, and found re
ports true that two channels had been
cut through the Island from the gulf
to the bay. Both are about three feet
In depth and nearly a quarter of a mile
wide. They are separated by a stretch
of two miles, and both arc between the
sites of the life saving station and
quarantine station. The government
will have to build Jetties there to pro
vent further washing.
Berlin, Oct. 3.—The dominant note
of the International Law Association
conference today was the Idea that
the association should restrain as much
as possible the right of belligerents
while extending and protecting the
rights of neutrals.
The conference was unanimous
against the use of floating or automat
ic mines, save within the waters of
belligerents. Even there. It was held
they should not be placed in narrow
waters, for example in the English
channel, which of necessity was used
as a thoroughfare by all nations.
It was also decided that letters be
ing conveyed by regular mall steam
ships should be free from molestation.
Steamships commissioned for war
like purposes should not be allowed
to hoist a mercantile sign or change
their character at sea.
Vessels carrying contraband of war
should not bo destroyed, but conveyed
to port for legal Investigation.
The conference will not pass any
resolutions, but will /tubmlt its pro
ceedings to The Hague conference.

WALTER BALLARD OP

Less than one year ago placed on the
market the new Ballard Bifocal, giving
reading and walking vision In one

"Forty-Five Minutes From Brosdwsy.
When George Cohan Injected a vll
lain, a real adventuress, a safe robbery
and other essential elements of melo
drama Into a musical play his advis
ers told him, in the language of Kid
Burns, that he was "checked through
for the nut house," and Ids play
wouldn’t last as long as the first part
of the name. Perhaps nobody else
could have done It—certainly nobody
else has done it—but George Cohan
wrote all these In his play and added a
real moving train for lagnlappe. And
"Forty-five Minutes From Broadway”
is running yet, and the audience at the
Grand Tuesday night gave no indica
tion that a musical melodrama Is a
loser.
Mr. Cohan Is wise. Say what you
will, Jeer at the villain and vlllalness
of the ten-twenty-thirty men and wo
men with red blood like-that touch of
heart interest, that glimpse Into the
workings of evil against good that
makes melodrama. They may not want
their melodrama pounded into them
with muttered curses In every line and
a paper snowstorm every time the he
roine handled is as acceptable to the
boxholders uptown ns to the gallery
gods of the little house around tho
corner. And that Is why the love story
of Mary Jenkins and Kid Burns and
the life story, merely touched upon In
tho dialogue, of Mrs. Dean and Daniel
Cronin made an audience of today sit
through three acts with no evidence of
ennui—with Interest In every face.
And the company Is fully up to the
mark. Kid Burns, ex-tout, ex-all
round-sport, Is portrayed by Scott
Welch In a way that vividly recalls
a day In the betting ring. He Is not
the swaggering, checksulted tout of the
usual comedy, but a Helf respecting,
good nntured fellow who Is trying to
do the right thing all the time. His
language—well one of his own expres
sions Is: “Dls t’lng has more reverse
English In It dan a billiard game.”
His voice Is big and round and when
he sings “Forty-five Minutes From
Broadway" It fills the house from pit
to gallery and he seems to enjoy Jt.
He was given so many recalls on that
song that he Just couldn’t add another
verse.
And Corlnne. One wouldn’t recog-
ilze the old Corlnne of the superb
igure set off by spangled tights, the
Corlnne of the burlesque. As Mary
Jane Jenkins she wears a neat black
dress and a funny little black hat
and looks the model of propriety'—as
everybody In New Rochelle seemed to
think she was. She has some of Coh
an’s best lines and her laugh ripples
through her audience. Her songs.
“Mary Is a Grand Old Name” nnd "So
Long, Mary,” were sung sweetly and
with a way that would render criticism
from a musical standpoint out of place.
Corlnne has found herself In roles like
this—she seemed far more at home ns
Mary Ann than she over did
J
they cannot be enumerated. But
Charles Arthur as Tom Bennett and
Edwin Walter as James Blake, are
thoroughly artistic in their works, while
Claire Grenville, as the mother-in-law
elect, gave a splendid interpretation of
a modern and remodeled Katherine.
It is easy to see that the play was
written primarily for a New York au
dience. But the way In which they
poke fun at New Rochelle, a little town
near the metropolis, and the tributes
to the glowing splendors of Broadway
by electric light brought cheers from
several listeners who had never been
further than Marietta since Atlanta
was Marthasvllle, for It Is the correct
thing, you know, to speak reverently
of New York and Martin's and the
“Great White Way,” whether you have
ever been there or not. Then people
will think you’ve been about some.
“Forty-five Minutes From Broadway'
is handsomely stared, the eight girls
of the chorus are good to look at, and,
more than that, they can sing. The
musical numbers are ns bright and
sparkling as all George Cohan’s music
Is—the production leaves little room for
complaint. The engagement Is for
Wednesday afternoon and night.

"Playing the Game."
The Jeffersons have been famed for
the excellence of the supporting cast
in all of the productions, but It Is
claimed that tho company In support of
Joseph and William W. Jefferson this
season will excel by far even the ele
gant cast of last year. The new mod
ern comedy, “Playing the Game," Is
the combined effort of Cleveland Mof
fett and Hartley Davis, two names
known for literary merit In- the past.
Two scenes new to the stage, Inasmuch
as they are exact reproductions of
rooms extant now, one of which IS tho
very handsome reading and writing
room of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, and
the famous artist’s studio when seen,
It Is said, will be easily recognized.
This production In Its entirety will he

INFANT IS DESERTED
ON SOUTHERN TRAIN
Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 3.—On South
ern railway train No. 35 last night a
well-dressed man, accompanied by two
women, nnd carrying an Infant, ap
proached a passenger and asked him
to hold the child while he went to the
rear of tho car. The train pulled Into
High Point a few moments afterwards
and tho man and women alighted.
When the owner of the child did not
return it was realized that the object
of the three was to get rid of the In
fant. A purse was raised and the child
was asked for by a couple on the way
to Alabama.
