4 I.IoN' DEATH-An unlooked-for tragedy
was enacted in Philadelphia Monday in the
midst of the work OF transferring the animals
of Forcpaugh's show preparatory u South
ern tour. In the same den we're kept two
lions and two tigers, separated ly strong
wooden partitpn. To such pitch of ferocity
was one 'qf the tigers stirred hy the arrnpge-
ments for removal that he threw himself in
very frenzy Of rage against the partition,
paqneed upon one af tha lians, and before
the Keepers could lift an arm fixed his fangs
deep in the threat of his victim. A tarrent
of blood gushed forth, and the king of beasts
desperately attempted to throw off his assail'
ant, but it was no use the tigers grip was
death, and almost on the instant the PROSTATE
lion, with spasmodie effort of head and
limbs, fell back cold and stiff, BY this time
dozen hands were raining blows upon the
head of the feroeious brute, who stood over
the slain lion with glaring eyes and blood
dyed Jaws, and stunned by the sudden attack
he was secured with ropes and dragged into a
close cage.
