Fearful Scene wiz, :, Eecparea.

We learn from the Baltimore Patriot, that
few days since the members OF all Equestrian
Company, were passing through several Of the
streets uf Baltimore. accompanying them
was Herr Drleshach, ina carriage, having with
him ore of bis Leopards. When Ill front of
Dix q Foggs' Fountain Inn. Light street, il
was agreed upon 10 take some refreshments, for
which purpose they aIighed and went into the
Hotel, Herr Driesbach taking with him his
Leopard. After remaining awhile, the party
proceeded to retire TO their horses and carria-
ges. Herr Dries5ach had the Leopard under
his right arm When nearing the door, he WAS
encountered by a crowd of boys, whose un-
governablc curiosity led them To see the animal.
In The crowd, just as the Iion-lamer had step
ped upon the pavement, boy abou, II years
of age, named Jno. Quinn, son Of Chas. Quinn,
residing in Saratoga street, was thrown against
the Leopard by some OF his companions. 1t
caush; him with lis paw, and in an instant
grasped the litis fellow firmly in his jaws
Drlesbach, with great nerve and 6rmaess, I'M
mediately thrust his hand into the Leopard's
mouth, ihrustngii down his throat, and by means
Of disiending irs tongue. caused the animal to
release lis hold. The boy received wound
on the cheek, about three inches il length. and
depth nearly 10 the bone, besides one or two
other wounds on the hand. He was taken 10
the Office of Dr. Mclaughlin, who dressed The
wounds, which are not considered dangerous,
although very painful.
The Leopard appeared perfectly furious and
determined on making sure Of his prey. Dries
bach called for knife, when endsaYoring TO
subdue his pet, and intended 10 take its life but
it had let go lis hold before an instrument could
be handed HIM .
"a warrant was issued soon after the occur

and he was arrested, charged with an assault
upon the boy above mentioned, by means of the

Correspondence of the American Republican

WASHINGTON, DeC' 20, 1914
The lecture delivered last night at the Wash
incton Assembly Room, by Mr.. Keevil, on the
intricate yet interesting subject of tine Polari-
cation of Light, was attended by very respec-
table and enlightened audience, amongst whom
noticed several Senators and members Of Con-
gress, with their ladies. So far as am able to
ascertain, the lecture and the experiments Illus
tratve thereof, were well received by the au-
dence. The Dioramic exhibitions we've con-
sidercd by every one present exceedingly beau
tiful, and ELECTED immense applause.
This morning an important arrest was made
by officer Burr, under warrant issued by JUS
tice Thompson. The person arrested, Owen
Niece, had been previously arrested in Balti-
more on the 25th ult., by your indefatigable
officers, Hays, Zell, Ridgely & Cook MCGEE
was charged by his uncle, Patrick MCGEE, of
this city, of robbing him on the previous day Of
upwards of $3.50 in gold and silver money
Having received more than 500 of the mo-
ney, from Owen Niece, he was allowed TO go
away as | understand, under the promise that
he would leave the country. But he toolishly
returned to the city yesterday; and an affidavit
being made this morning by Patrick McGee,
the nephew was again arrested, and after pro-
per examination fully committed for trial at
the next Criminal Court.
The case of Mary Brannan alias Barry will
be brought before the Hon Judge Cranch to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock, her counsel
having oLt lined writ of habeas corpus.
