LOADED IN SILYER
WAS BANK BUGGY
Ten Thousand Dollars Deposited
By Circus Man.
HENRY L. BADHAM’S BURDEN
Silver Dollars and Half Dollars Which a
Banker Gathered in Which Fatigued
Webb Crawford to Count
Wealth of Circus
The Adam Forepaugh-Sells Brothers' cir
cus has gone Its way rejoicing, but ten
thousand dollars In sliver Is left behind to
assure the courts that representatives will
duly appear and answer to the complaint
Of one Thomas McCabe, who wants $10,000
for alleged rough treatment received some
years ago.
This great amount of mony Is held In the
vaults of the Berney National Bank to se
cure that bank In signing the $20,000 bond
required of the circus management. . It
Will remain In the bank until the law suit
Is decided. The amount of money Is made
up of silver dollars and half dollars, and
would fill an ordinary coffee sack. It would
probably measure two huehels. The money
was brought from the circus treasury
wagon by Mr. Bells and Mr. Henry Bad
ham In a buggy, and It required considi
srable physical effort to lift it from the
vehicle Into the bank building. Cashier
Webb Crawford undertook to count the
coins, and he 1s tired yet.
Speaking of the matter yesterday, Mr.
Badham said It would surprise the general
public to know how much money the big
Circuses usually kept on hand. When the
Show people were notified that their horses
to the number of 11& had been attached
they immediately went to the bank and re
quested Mr. Badham to make the neces
sary $20,000 bond. They readily offered to
deposit the entire amount, but only half
of It was required. The circus treasury
wagon contains two burglar-proof safes,
and Mr. Badham said there was more than
$20,000 In currency and silver coin In them
when he called for the $10,000. This was
early In the morning before the sale of
tickets hadi begun, but the circus had plenty
of cash on hand to meet almost any emer
gency.
Mr. Badham stated that another thing
at which he was surprised was the enorm
ity of the show. Before leaving the city
for the circus grounds he offered to sign
the bond so that the horses which were
held by the sheriff could be released. He
made this suggestion, as he feared the
absence of the animals would Interfere
with the performance. Mr. Sells quickly
Informed him that It was not necessary at
all, as the absence of 118 horses would in
no way interfere with the afternoon per
formance.
When the news got abroad yesterday that
the Adam Forepaugh-Sells Brothers’ show
had been attached several telegrams were
received at the various banks from New
lork and Cincinnati requesting them to
make the bond. This had already been
dene, however, and the requests were un
necessary.
Peter Sells remained In the city to con
fer with his attorney, Walker Percy, in
regard to the suit brought by Mr. Mc
Cabe. It is stated that no compromise will
be made by the circus management and
that the case will be fought to the end.
SNAKE BITE~CAUSES
A MAN TO GO BLIND
Lee Turner, Bitten By a Battler, Lives to
Tell the Tale-other Items
of Interest
Florence, September 29.—(Special.)—Lee
Turner, engaged In hauling cross ties in
Colbert County, was bitten by a large rat
tle snake several days ago and lives to
tell the tale. He was bitten twice on the
finger, and the effect of the poison was
counteracted by the use of the usual rem
edy. Turner turned stone blind from the
effects of the bite, but is recovering from
the poison.
There are 60,000 railroad ties awaiting
shipment at Georgetown landing in Colbert
County, opposite the old Governor Hous
ton place in Lauderdale County. Both sides
of the Tennessee river lor miles is lined
with cross ties waiting for boating water
for shipment.
The city schools have a total attendance
of over 700 at this time, and Superintend
ent Gilbert predicts that the enrollment
will reach 900 before the end of the year.
The attendance in the lower grades is so
large that they have been divided into
morning and afternoon sessions in order !
to take care of the little ones. With the
State Normal College and other local pri
vate schools it is estimated that the stu
dent population of the city will run over
1200.
Rev. Father O’Grady, diocesan mission- j
ary from Huntsville, will begin a week’s
mission at St. Joseph’s church in this city
on Sunday, October 7. It will be the first |
Catholic mission ever held in Florence and
will be for the purpose of arousing the
dormant religious zeal of the Christian
people, and to expand Catholic teachings
so that they may be better understood.
He will preach on the Holy Eucharist, Con
fession, Image Worship, Purgatory and
other subjects.
Mattie Collier, the 16-months-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Simpson, died

Moulin Rouge, a Persian resort; Esau,
the snake eater, and so on.

Conterno will give a magnificent fireworks
display every night, including the battles.
A large force of men was at work the
past week olearlng off the grounds and
constructing the buildings. The ground In
side the race track has been sown in bar
ley and oats, which will give the grounds
an attractive appearance during the fair.
Work on the new buildings Is progressing
in a satisfactory manner, and will be ready
in a short time for the placing of exhibits.
The railway is completed into the i
grounds and is ready to handle the ex
hibits, some of which will begin to arrive
tomorrow. The mineral exhibits will be
the first to arrive, and Superintendent
Evans and his assistants will be on hand
to receive them.
The contract with the Consolidated Elec
tricc Light Company was signed yester
day. There will be fifty arc lights and
3000 incandescent lights, so placed that
they will light up the entire grounds and
all the buildings.
Col. J. M. Falkner, president of the Fair
Association, was in the city yesterday and
expressed satisfaction at the progress be
ing made on the buildings and the large
number of exhibitors that had applied for
space.
