Duel in a Bedroom COmbatants
Killed.
" But a Lowry heart III
Is happy anywhere

The body of Joseph Goldman, the Po-
lish jew, who was shot by his ex-partner
on election day, still lay yesterday where
it had fallen, in the top room at JOG De
lancey street. The rooms underneath
are occupied by family named Wide
man. One of the girls was alone in her
room at about o'clock on Tuesday after
noon, and heard violent struggle over
head, and Immediately thereafter a num-
Der of pistol shots fired in such rapid
succession that she could not count
them. A heavy fall followed, and, sup
posing that the stove had been over
thrown in the scuffie, she ran from her
room shrieking fire. The occupants of
the adjoining rooms quickly congregat-
ed on the landing. They, too, had heard
the pistol shots. A hand to-hand strug-
gle was evidently still. i'll progress above
when David Parison, the tenant of the
room, entered the house. He went up
stairs and found his door bolted, and the
sounds within were those of death
struggle. He ran down stairs and went
out, as he said, to summon policemen.
Just as he went out the last shot was
fired and another fall was heard. Then
all was still, and n minute afterward John
Beckel, the owner of the house, entered.
When Officer Henkin arrived he heard
many conflicting stories, and n score OF
terrified men and women followed him
up stairs. He forced the door, but was
prevented from opening it entirely by
what proved to be the body of Davis
Jeroslaw lying behind it. He was still
breathing slightly, and he had a small
bullet hole on the side of his right tenn
pie. Goldman's body lay face upward
at the other side of the room, but the
apartment was so small that the bodies
were not four feet apart One bullet
had entered close to the right ear, and
another had penetrated the right tenn
pie. He was almost dead. A small
seven-barrel revolver was clutched in his
stiffening fingers, and weapon pre-
cisely similar was lying by Jeroslaw's
side. Four of the chambers were empty
and Goldman's pistol seemed to have
been FREQ twice. The plaster had been
knocked from the ceiling in two places
by the bullets, and broken pane
showed where third ball, and perhaps
others, had passed through the window.

All how terrible il seemed now The
lifeless form and sealed lips, perhaps
they would never pronounce forgiveness
for all of her daughters unkindness and
selfishness. She burst into tears but
the doctor led her away, telling her to
keep the children quiet, and remember
her father, whose distress was greater
than her own. He also told her that the
falntness was owing to over-fatigue

saying he thought that there was no
danger to be apprehended.
She led little Harry away from the
door, where he was begging for his
mother, and gathering the other chill

that all danger was over, and that her

Delia's heart was full when she prayed
that night before going to bed. She
saw her own selfish and thankless spirit
III its true light. She had been migrate
full and ungracious, but the experience
of that day taught her a lesson which
would prove very useful, as she learned
to think more of the blessings which
were bestowed upon others that were for
some good reason withheld from her;
and never forgot these two lines of the
verse Miss Hall repeated to her:
But lowly heart that leans on Thee

BARNUM's HAPPY FAMILY.
FELINE UNPLRAsANTNEss-A LEoPARI
KILLS THE BLACK PANTHER

n
The New York Sun of the Ilth inst. tells
of the latest fatal misunderstanding among
the animals of Barnum's menagerie: Two
lions, two leopards, and a tame black pam
ther have for some months been kept In one
cage in Barnum's Hippodrome. The lions are
separated from their companions through
the night by iron bars. but in the day
time the bars are withdrawn, and the ami
mails form "hsppy family" No sooner
were the bars taken out yesterday morning
than the leopard made spring for the PAN
theirs throat. The panther was young, but
his muscles were like iron and his skin as
thick as sole leather, and he struck the leop-
ard blow with one of his fore paws that
laid him sprawling on the floor
leopard was on his feet again, and the ami
mails stood face to face. For fully minute
they glared and growled, and then, with q
shock that nearly turned the cage on its
side, they met again, each trying to grasp
the other by the throat. The employees OF
the hippodrome, attracted by the noise OF
the conflict, tried, with bars and spears, to
separate the c0mbatants, but without avail.
Seasoned spears were snapped In two like
straws, and even the keeper of the animals
dared not approach the cage. The leop-
ard, with an unexpected spring. fixed
himself on the psnther's back, and, taking
the loose skin on the back of the latter 8
neck between his teeth, gave the panther.a
toss against the side of the cage that bent the
thick iron nearly double. For a minute
there was great danger that all the beasts in
the cage would escape. The top of the cage
was broken and the floor was split. But the
battle was over: for the panther, without q
sound, struck the floor of the cage, lifeless.
But the leopard was not satisfied with the
death of his antagonist. No sooner was he
convinced that he could approach with
safety than, seizing the panther's head be-
tween his fore paws, he gave him a tearing
with the sharp claws of his hind feet that
nearly stripped the skin from his body.
Then he began with bis teeth, and before the
employees could interfere nearly half OF the
dead panther had been eaten by the leopard.
When at length a sufficient force had been
collected around the cage, the keeper who had
tanned the panther entered the den. There
upon the floor lay his pets silky black skin,
almost entire. His body, not yet cold,
quivered, and his eyes glareu. The leopard
crouched In q corner of the cage, satisfied
with his meal. The iron bars were soon
replaced, and the leopard was prevented
from doing further mischief. At the after
noon performance the leopard was so unruly
that IL was deemed unsafe for the trainer to
enter the cage, but the bars were kept in
their places and no more damsge was done.
