Who is Major Anderson?

The nan who had the sagacity and holiness
TO get himself out of the Trap in which an I'M
beetle president had placed him, to take the
only course left to save himselfa and his men, and
remnant of the country's honor at the same
Gme likely to have name in history The
following paragraph tells Us something about
him:
Major Anderson is now about ify six years
old, and was born in Kentucky, entering the
Military Academy from that state and gradual.
ing with distinction on June 80. 1925 The
record Of bis military service shows that he was
promoted to first outcnancy in 1888, and
made captain by his bravery in 1893, for gal
mutr, an successful strategy in the war against
the Florida 10 ans. In the same year he was
appoiuted assistant general with the
rank Of captain-lhe captaincy itself not com
ing until the October, Of lHtl, and his present
rank OF Major only reaching him last year
Major Anderson has also performed large
amount Of the staff duty incident to the service
of few years since, and before it was made
distinct from duty in the line He acted as
assistant inspector OF the Illinois volunteers

Hawk war OF 1892 He was assistant inslruc-
tor and instructor Of artillery at the Military
Academy in The years 1885 = and 7, and was

Daring tho Mexican war, the Major endured
all the labors and dangers Of the campaign being
seyerly wounded in the assault on the enemy s
works at Moline del Reg, and receiving breyet
majority for gallant and meritorious conduct
the action Major Anderson has also received
from the government many evidences OF lis trust
and confidence other than those bestowed by
the war department. His last service, previous
to nis taking Command OF Fort Moulfie
was member OF the commission, ordered
last summer by Congress, TO inquire into the
manner Of instruction at west Point Military

Beginning where He Left Off

\ British captain while giving orders on the
quarterback Of his ship, at the battle Of the
Nile, was struck on the head by a shot, and
immediately became senseless He was taken
home and removed to Greenwich Hospital, where
for fifteen months he eyinced no sign Of ntell-
igenec. lie was then trepbaned and mmed.
lately upon the operation being performed, con
scousuess returned. and he Immediately began
busying himself to see the orders carried out
that he had given during the battle fifteen
months previously. The clock-work Of the
brain, unaware that it had stopped upon be.

A Man Killed by a Lion.


Yesterday morning terrible encounter took
place at Ashley's Amphitheatre. An under
groom, named Smith, was literally throtted to
death by one OF the lions which play so promin
ent part in the holiday entertainments at that
ayorle place of amusement The lions, three
in number, are confined in cage at the back
Of the stage. When The night Waterman lett
the theatre yesterday morning, few minutes
before !, he reported " all right" Shortly af
terward Smith, the deceased, entered the place
and found the lions prowling about They had
torn of a heavy iron bar which crossed the front
Of their cage, aud then burst open the door.
Smith was alone, and not being familiar with
the animals, he attempted to escape into an ad
joining stable yard His situation was fright
lul one, and most men would have acted pre-
ciSey as be did under similar circumstances .
but the probability is il he had stood his ground
boldly his life would have been saved Uutor-
tunately one Of the ions--that which is known
by the name Of Havelock- caught sight Of his
rctreaing figure and instantly sprang upon him.
1t seized him by the launches, pulled him to
the ground, and then fixed his teeth IN his throat
Death must ha,e hee, elsnoss instantaneous,
but. as Smith was found a good deal cut and
bruised at the back OF the head, u is supposed
that the lion, after buryiug its iargs in his
throat, dragged him about and dashed his head
against the ground.
1t seems. in TACT to have worried him, tho
the wounds inflicted BY the brute are neither so
numerous nor so severe as might have been cx.
pecied There were 10 cries for help, bat
sort Of shutting noise was heard BY man in
the stable yard liesusrocted what had occur
red and did notyerture to orenthe door through
which Smith bad endea,orcd to escape, bat be
gave the alarm, aud 10 a fcw minutes was joined
Ivy several grooms and others connected with
the theatre They were all however, too much
afraid to enter the place, and nothing was done
to ascertain the fate Of Smith until the arrival
OF Crockett, the Lion Conquerer, to whom tie
animals belong As soon as he reached the
spot he passed through tie door alone, none of
the others daring to follow The body Of Smith
was lying face upwards few feet from the door
and Hayelock was crouching over it as hungry
dog hangs over piece Of meat.
Crockett Immediately threw the animal of
and dragged the body into the yard, 1t was
still warm, but life had been extinct for some
time A surgeon was sent for, but of course be
could render no assistance. Crockett lost no
time in securing the lions. They allowed him
TO capture them easy enough. Even Hayelock
did not offer any resistance, and The other two,
which had taken no part in the terrible scene
with Smith seemed ratherafraid than otherwise.
In a few minutes all three were back in their
cage again, and last night they went through
their usual performances before crowded au.
dience. Smith was unmarried. There will of
course be an inquiry into the circumstances
which attended the unhappy mans Death
