CIRCUS HERE Immence Crowds Witness the Great Show SPLENDID PARaDE The Racing a Special Feature of the Great Show Animal Exibit Fine Public Pleased will the Performance. The Great Wallace Shows arrived ear ly Sunday morning over the Seaboard Air Line from Suffolk, where they showed Saturday. The shows came on their own special train and the great crowd which saw them unload was not confined to the small boy. The raising of tents in Cameron's field was soon un der way. Six large tents constitute the canvass. The sise of the circus may be judged from the statement that there are 316 head of horses and other ani mals. The company has Its own wagon and imint shops, blacksmith shop, etc., Hie supply departments are stocked by wholesale. Hundreds visited the grounds yester day and to' all these visitors was ac corded the most courteous treatment. Mr. Wallace has the most gentlemanly crowd ever seen in a circus here. He makes it a fine for any employee to use ii n oath and the first time a man get drunk he is shipped no matter who he is. The collection of animalB embrace many fine specimens. One of the ele phants is a veritable jumbo. He has a remarkable history. A large male tiger is a beauty. He is the fellow who bit a man's leg off In Washington city. The man had gone to sleep on top of the cage with his leg hanging over. It did not take the circus bills to tell that a show was here to-day. Crowds were streaming in from every direction. The trains over Mr. John Mills and Mr. Anglers railroads were crowded. A circus procession is always an im portant part of the day, and this one was n pageant, with all the gorgeousness and glittering display that marks the pomp and splendor of the usual circus parade. The Wallace -Shows have beautiful stock and the perfectly matched, well groomed hones were the source of much admira tion. The stately elephants, the awk ward camels, the sebra and other strange looking animals came in for a big share of attention, and of couse the Shetland ponies pleased the children. It is by far the best lot of circus property possessed by any company here for years. There were four splendid brass bands in the procession. The steam piano brought up the rear of the gorgeous parade, which was about a mile in length, and com prised several eight horse vans, beauti fully curved and almost dazzling with ifold and French mirrors; countless num bers of youthful, butt expert, riders on Arabian horses; many cages of wild animals exposed to view to the admiring throngs, which, with nuinerou-s other novelties, were cheered all along the line and commented upon as the finest and cleanest display ever seen iu 1 ' The doors to the big show were opened a 1 o'clock, and in less than thirty minutes a tremendous crowd was under the canvass in the tent. There were 100 acts in the three rings and on the elevat ed platform, many of them thrilling beyond description and all interesting. The riders are all clever and the trapeze work as daring as one would care to witness, while the world's most wonderful acro batic family, the nine Nelsons, are so de cidedly clever that the extreme difficul ty .of their performance is almost lost sight of in the fineness and ease of its presentation. The Stirks perform some marvelous feats on the bicycle and their entire act is the most perfect of it kind seen in the circus. All in all, the big show was everything it was promised it should be, and Mr. Wallace has cer tainly fulfilled his promises and present ed one of the biggest, brightest end best circus yet seen in Raleigh. The attendants In and outside the tents were ever marked by the gentlemanly and courteous treatment of visitors, and of these It can be truthfully said that there was no room for unfavorable criticism.

Rhyne killed Mr. Thomas O. Falls, was con victed, sentenced to le hanged, then given a new trial by the Supreme Court. Sentiment was strong in Gaston comity so a squad of twenty from the Queen City Guards of Charlotte was sent to Dallas to guard the prisoner. The people did not expect the trial nntil to-day but ,to avoid trouble he was rushed to trial Saturday. The second trial of Ryhne only con sumed two hours. The case was given to the jury at 1 o'clock and after be ing out a short while, a verdict of mur der in the second degree was brought in. Judge McNeill sentenced the prisoner to 30 years in the State penitentiary at hard labor. This is the extreme penalty for murder in the second degree. Owing to the fact that it was under stood in Dallam that the trial of Rhyne would not take place until Monday, a very small crowd was present. The prisoner arrived in Dallas about 10 10 oIock under "special guard and was taken directly to the court house. Rhyne's lawyers, Capt. Goo. F. Ba son, of Charlotte, and Mr. Robinson, of Lincolnton, held a short consultation with him and announced that they were ready for the trial to proceed. As was stated above, the case only con sumed about two hours, after which the jury returned a verdict of murder in the second degree. There was no demonstration when the verdict of the jury was announced, and it Is thought the people of Gaston will accept the same without attempting to molest the prisoner. Some of the people from the section of the Clinic were present jrniJ- mysteri ously disappeared. This aroused suspi cion and the prisoner under an escort of six soldiers was hastened to Lincoln ton and on to Raleigh. He was landed in the penitentiary yesterday to begin his thirty years' sentence. TRANSVAAL SITUATION. London, Sept. 25. No news yet from Pretoria. At the delivery of the last British despatch the decision of the Rand of Orange Free State, whose se cret deliberation is expected to close to morrow, was awaited with interest. It is expected that there will be a joint action with Transvaal. A telegram from Calcutta announces the departure of a transport for South Africa. The last transjwrt for the Cape leaves India to-morrow. TO BE TRIED FOR CANNIBALISM. Starving Sailors Who Ate a Companion May Have to Hang. Charleston, S. C, Sept. 23 Warrants were worn out to-day by Vice-Consul White, acting for the Government of Norway, against Andersen and Thomas, the Norwegian sailors from the bark Drot, who, according to their own story, killed and at a companion while drifting in mid ocean on a raft. The men are still very sick and the warrants were not served, but a guard was placed over them. They will be sent to Norway as soon as they are able to travel. A case imilar to this occurred several years ago. Three English sailors were castaways on a raft. They had been with out food or drink for days. They drew I lots as to which should lie killed to I furnish food for the survivors. The oue I upon whom the lot fell was Main and i eaten. A few days later the men were j rescued and taken to England. They confessed their crime and were tried, convicted of murder and condemned to die. The case went to the House of Lords. Lord Chief Justice Colebridge delived the opinion. It .was one of the ablest he ever banded down. He seemed I to plead the case of the men throughout, . but conclrded by saying they were guilty ' of murder and put on the black cap and I muiI.iimmI thnm t.t .1 ' TtnorAVM IhAV were pardoned by the Queen.
