There was more drunkenness, fighting and other devilment hereon Saturday than the city ever before witnessed in any one day. The police had their hands full, and acquitted themselves ad mirably, considering the small force. There were half a dozen big tights and how many small ones we cannot tell. The day closed with a general knock down about 12 o'clock at the old de pot, Clinton ivenue, when the circus wagons were being loaded on the cars. Some Mill Hall ami Flemington lads, and a few LOCK Haven roughs cut the train times, which so exasperated the showmen that they made a break for the home gang. Half a d< zsn pistol shots were fired, and we believe one ri Lock Haven's penitentiary birds re ceived a shot in his thumb.

Demiis McMahou, aged nine years, of Hoboken, drank a pint of whisky and died almost immediately afterward. A Curious Fact. Bands of ma.-dc are forbidden to play on most of the large bridges of the world. A constant succession of sound waves, especially as come from the playing of a band, will excite the wires to vibration. At least the vibrations are very slight, but they will increase as the sound waves continue to come. The piincipal reason why bands are not allowed to play when crossiug cer tain bridges, the suspension bridge at Niagara Falls, for instance, is that if followed by a procession of any kind, they will keep step with the music and and this regular step would cause the wires to vibrate. At suspension bridges miiitary companies are not allowed to march across in regular step, but break ranks. The regular trotting gate of a large dog across a Suspension bridge is more dangerous to the bridge thau a heayily loaded wagon drawn by a team of large hoises.

George Markoy Hangs Him self to a Rack Fiye Foot from the Ground. George Markoy, a well known fann er residing in York township, York conniy, on Shearer's road, about three miles from York, was i'oumi hanging in the barn by his daughter about 8 o'clock Tuesday morning, life being en tirely extinct. Mr. Markoy had taken a driving line, and after placing a loop around his neck, had fastened the oth er end to a rack in his barn, about live feet above the thur, and bending his body, with his feet touching the lloor, deliberately ended bis life. Mr. Markoy was in good circumstances and owned the farm upon which he resided. Nothing is advanced as to what caused the mental trouble which led to the rash taking of his life. He was about forty-live years of age, and leaves a wife and six children. Mrs. Markey is in very bad health, having been con fined to her bed for about a year. There is a consolation in the fact that hereafter for some years we shall have cooler weather and more rain. The cause of this change is thus accounted for: The sun undergoes changes, and the period of this change is from 11 to 18 years. During this period the number of spots on the sun undergo a gradual change from their minimum to their maximum number, the heat be ing greatest when the spots are the most numerous; and as this year the spots have arrived at I heir maximum number and will hence diminish, we may look for cooler siinim ;rs and more moisture hereafter. Such at least are the observations of astronomers. — Sdtns'jrove limes. A NEW INSTRUMENT OF DEATH. Killed by Artificial Lightning in an Eloctrio Company's Genera ting Room. BUFFALO, August 15.—A strange and terrible accident occurred list eve ning at the generating rooms of the Brush Electric Eight Company, on Ganson street, across the creek.

Smith wanted to take hold of two of the. brushes, but Mr. Cliaffe grabbed Ids arm, telling him it was sure death to touch them. The party shortly afterwards left, Mr. Cliaffe telling them to get out. About a quarter past 10 o'clock Smith sud denly came into the building, seeming ly ui der the influence of liquor. lie leaned over the railing which Keeps outsiders at a distance from the ma chinery and before a warning word could be said he had grabbed the first and third brushes. Mr. Chaffe saw what he was about to do and made a jump for him. His hand stuck laSt to the brushes, and giving the en gineer the word to stop the engine lie took hold of Smith and endeavored to pull him from his hold. This he was unable to do, but as soon as the engine stopped Smith raised himself to his feet and throwing up his arms, gave a loud gasp and expired instantly. The thing was done so quickly that those who witnessed it could scarcely believe tbeir eyes. Smith's face had a pale bluish tint and was drawn out of shape. His hands were badly burned and on several of the fingers the flesh was burned to the bone. Hj Universal Accord. AYER'3 CATHARTIC PILLS are the best of all purgatives for family use.
