An unlooked-for tragedy was enacted in
Philadelphia Monday in the midst Of the
work OF transferring the animals Of Fore
paugh's show preparatory TO n southern tour.
IN the same den were kept two lions and two
tigers, separated by strong wooden partition.
10 such pitch OF ferocity was one OF the IT,
gers stirred by the arrangements for removal
that he threw himself IN Il very frenzy OF rage
against the partition, pounced upon one Of
the lions, and before the keepers could lift an
arm fixed his fangs deep IN the throat OF his
victim torrent of blood gushed forth, and
the King of beasts desperately attempted 10
throw on his assailant, but II was no use; tho
tigers grip was death. and almost on the IN
slant the PROSTATE lion, with spasmodic Of
fort OF head and limbs, fell back cola and stlff.
BY this time a dozen hands were raining
blows upon the head OF the ferocious brute,
who stood over the slain lion with glaring eyes
and blood-dyed Jaw, and stunned by the sud
den attack he was secured with ropes and
dragged into close cage.

KDD'S TREASURE.

A bill was offered in the House Monday
by .Mr. Beach, of New York, permitting
parties to dig for treasure on the Govern
ment ground at West Point. He does
this at the request of three of his con-
stituents, cid residents in that vicinity
who believe that Captain Kidd's buried
treasures rest within the Government
grounds at West Point. The Commando
ant at West Point is willing to permit
the men to dig if they desire, but oeere
tary Lincoln says that if they should
find anything, it would revert to tie
Government. 1t is hardly probable the
bill will ever see daylight, as it is now
buried under about 5000 others.
