Thu circus performance is the best by a long ways that ever visited Chicago, and is ol such a pleasing mid varied char acter, as to make it ditlicult to single out any act of particular merit, for they are all of the vorv best. For two hours and three quarters lliero U a succession of acts of daring horsemanship, tumbling, perfor mance of trained animals, wire walking, acrobatic feats, bicycle riding and a host of other novelties. The laughable antics and triclss of tlio Twin Haby I'lephaiits never fail to create th greatest fun and amuse ment. The marvelous troupe of gymnastic bicyclers, the startling flight of the human cannon ball through the air, the wonderful and thrilling life-lean of the winged lady of tin cloud, the terrific flight of a human being from the great Koiiian Catapult, driv oil through xpiice lit the leribcl momentum of three mile In ono minute, make up a constellation of Martllng and astoiiUlihig wonders anil aiua?lng novelties never before soen on earth. --Chicago Dully Tribune.

The jail con tained six persons, by name, Louis Miller, Ceo. Plumb, Sum. Hro.vn, Win, Land, John Cooley and Fred Winkle man. It is not known exactly how tin lire originated. Jt seems that at tin time the fire started, under sherill's. Brown and Sally wore sleeping in the oilico of the jail, and jailor Boynton was up in town in qqest of mcdicint for Cooley, who was not will. When urouse(, the under sherill's hurried in to the corridor of the jail an 1 discov ered Haines coining fj-om the cell of Winkleinuii, but its neither had the keys to tlo cells they could not liber ate the prisoners. About this time, jailor Boynton nuidto Ins appearance, and unlocked the nearest cell to him, that of W'inklcman, but before he could reach the others, the inside of the jail wa; a htuss of Haines, and he had to rftrcut. From the outside hi tried to cut through with n n.v, but the Humes drove him back. WJien it became known to the crowd that the prisoners were on the inside, and rous ting to death, tlie excitement was in tense. The cries of the prisoners wort heart rendering, but nothing could bo done for thoin. Among tho crowd were many of their frjoipls aipl rela tives, who were almost paralyzed with dread and grief, After tlio fire the live bodies wore lotpi'd burned Pearly to ashes. Winkleinuii was conveyed to the city jail. He is burned to badly that ho may not recover. It is gener ally thought tiat he set tlo jail on tire in order to make Ins escape, and tlie coroner's jury gave that as their opin ion, althPUgP lyinkK'iiiuu denies it The remains pf the prisoners were ta ken in charge by friends and relatives. No blame seems to be placed on tin pllicials, for this terrible catastrophe. 1 lie. lather of John Cooley arrived in this city froip Baker on Thursday with tjie ashes of his spn.
