Mr.. Hubbard, in a few words,
called up his joint resolution
offered the day before. Judge Ferguson
made a warm plea for the recOnsiders-
t;on of the vote by which Mr.. kepner's
nenitentiary bill was killed on its third
reading. He said that he predicted that
the people Of West Virginia would nave
cause 10 regret the fact that prisoners
were being hired ont at sum insuft-
cient to keep them. Mr.. Quarrler spoke
AGAINST what he called the crudeness OF
the hill: some parts of IT, he was per-
hans in favor OF, others he was not. Mr..
S,,abrivht said that il il were in order
bs would move a reconsideration OF the
vote, by which
Mr.. Kepner's Bill Was Killed.
The previous question was here called
and Mr.. Quarter asked for division OF
the resolution. This was done after
some complimentary notice OF Wheel
;ng and her industries. The first clause
VAS adopted; il is as follows:
First. That in the opinion of the Leg.
;slo,urs the labor of convicts in the pen
;tentisrv should not be employed in
tba msnufactnre OF tobacco and cigars;
and the directors of the penitentiary are
-eones,ed ,. TO act in accordance with this
oninion, as soon as existing contracts
az letting conuict labor for such manu-
facture shall cease. -,
The second clause was like unto the
srst with the exception that wagons"
Was named in place OF cigars. This
wss ~ rejected by rousing vote.

The remains Of the Gear will lie in state at

prayers being said nightly. The Minister Of
the Interior states that one Of the chief
organizers of the attack ON the Czar, arrested
on March IL, has confessed completely and do
nounced Rousakoff in person. Rousakoff, be-
ing shown the corpse of the individual who
evidently threw the second-bomb was himself
mortally wounded, and recognized his accom-
plice. The house from which Rousakoff OBJ
tanned the bombs has been discovered. As soon
as the police appeared, the male occupant shot
himself, but q woman living with him was ar
rested. The police found number of grenades
and O proclamation stating that the assassina-
ton has been accomplished by two persons. A
young man entered the house and was imme-
diately arrested, but not until he had fired re-
volver six times, wounding three policemen.
The authorities made some important arrests
previous TO the assassination. Rousakoff was
to have been tried at once, but he having begun
10 make important revelations, the trial has
been postponed. The young man arrested at
the house where Rousakon obtained the bombs
killed one policeman before secured. A Nihil-
ist proclamation was found posted at the Uni
versity, avowing the assassination was by order
Of the executive committee, and the work
would go on. Students tore 1t down, but an
other was posted in an hour. Many fresh ar
rests have been made, especially among stu
dents of the School Of Mines. Triumphar
Nihilist proclamations are being strewn about
the streets Of st. Petersburg. An Imperial
proclamation is about TO be issued announcing
that the historical development Of the Empire
viii not be interrupted by the change to a new
regime, and that none who deserve 1t will es-
cape punishment

y.n<..uc. After Fifteen Years.

information is received from Dallas, Texas,
Of most sensational tragedy on the north fork
Of Red River, which brought vengeance for
crime committed fifteen years ago. 1t appears
a man named Peter Cook, formerly from Mis-
sissippi, with three drunken associates, visited
the house Of Tony Pine, disguised as United
States cavalry, in 1866 robbed him Of $1,000,
ravished lady relative and fled. Pinos saw
neither of the party again until last week, when
he and two herders came upon Cook among
some freighters. Calling him by name, and
with terrible oaths, Pine fired four balls into
Cooks body, killing him before he could draw
his pistol. The parties present arrested Pine,
but as he satisfied them that his statement re-
garding Cooks conduct fifteen years ago were
true, and he being able to produce newspaper
account to verify it, they released him.

Attacked by q FerOciOus Lion.

An underkeeper in a menagerie was
attacked by lion in Birmingham, Eng
land. He entered the cage in order to
clean it. To separate the animals from
that part of the cage that was to be
cleaned wooden panel was used. It
reached from the top to the floor of the
cage, and was about two inches In thick
ness. The underkeeper, Harris by
name, does not appear to have absolutely
closed the panel as he entered. The
largest lion-a powerful animal named
"Wallace" "-sprang toward Harris, the
sliding panel gave way from the pressure,
and the man stood unprotected in front
of the lion, who with its mouth seized
the poor fellow by the shoulder. Harris,
who had broom in his hand, pluckily
defended himself for few moments by
striking the lion with the handle of the
broom. But the lion, clutching him with
one of its paws, dashed him to the
ground and began gnawing at his body,
from which the blood was freely flowing.
The lion tanner, Alicamonsa, who was at
the opposite side of the hall, hearing the
commotion, ran to the cage. With the
utmost courage and GOODNESS he entered
the den, and twice fired his pistol, which
was loaded with blank cartridges. All
the time Harris was still beneath the
lion, who was tearing his flesh. The
pistol firing had no effect whatever on
the animal; and seeing this, the lion
tanner, who had with him loaded whip,
began striking the animal with the butt
end of it on the head. He dealt the lion
four or five blows, and the last, hitting
the animal with terrific force between
the eyes, appeared to stun it. The lion
loosed Harris, who was instantly dragged
out of the cage. He was bleeding pro-
fusely, but was not quite unconscious.
