 A Lion at Large-The Beast ChiOrOforna-
 ed and Returned to His Cage-Several
 Lives i'm Deadly Peril
 CHICAGO, Jan. 14-A bloody scene was witnessed yesterday morning in barn on the west side in which the participants were a ferocious lion and diminutive Shetland pony. Charlie, the lion tanner, when the winter set in, stored his animals in this barn until the opening of the circus season in the spring. His menagerie consisted of fine horse, a Shetland pony valued at $1,000, and two African lions of huge proportions Yesterday he entered the barn accompanied by several children, lady and MT. Harris, and prepared to enter the cage. Before it, however, for some reason he made the children go out of the barn. When all was ready he opened the cage and quietly stepped in, hay ing arranged with Harris to close the door, but this important part of the programme was forgotten by Harris, and when the tanner raised his whip and commanded one of the lions to leap over it the beast dashed under the legs of Charlie, leaped to the floor of the barn, and with single bound was astride of the pony, which was crushed beneath the lions weight. Sinking his teeth into the neck of the pony he tore the animal in pieces. The cries of the inoffensive pony were fright fuI but brief. The lady, Harris and the tanner were frightened almost beyond power to take steps to preserve their own lives. As quickly as possible Harris and Charlie got out of the barn and procur- ing some large sponges saturated them with chloroform, tied them to long sticks and ap piled them to the nostrils of the lion, while he was busily engaged in devouring his vic tim. He was soon stupe6ed, after which they summoned assistance and succeeded in re- placing him in the cage where he soon re- vived The escape of the lady and Harris was almost marvellous and is attributable, possibly, to the presence of the pony, which the lion must have regarded as it's legitimate prey.

Governor HoadIy's Inaugural Message.
 COLUMBUS, Jan. 14.-Governor Hoadly in his inaugural message discourages the pres ent laxity of divorce laws; the insanity dodge to evade criminal punishment; recommends the formation of an advisory board of par dons; advises that the Russell tax be removed from mediums; the Hamilton county fee bill of 1870 good measure and advises that it be applied to other large counties. The Gov ernor does not advise the repeal of the Scott law, but ''the graduation of it's taxation and the withdrawal of the power of municipal prohibition" He congratulates Ohio that the war is over and that this generation will see the debt paid. He also considers it ex- pedient by ''apt legislation" to provide for prompt and severe punishment against inva- sion of the rights of others, not discrimina- ting, however, between white and black, but furnishing the same relief against the same wrong to both.

 The Mystery Cleared up-CharIes Dell
 men1co's Body Found in New Jersey. NEW YORK, Jan. 14 Mir. Charles Del monico's body was found by two boys this morning near General McClelIan's summer residence on Orange mountain, N. J. The ody exhibited no marks of violence MT. Delmonico probably died of cold and expos ure on Sunday, January G. On Saturday, January 5, he left an elevated train at F noon at Courtlandt street. He was seen on the train by William l., Whittemore. He evidently went across the Courtlandt street ferry and went on @ train to Newark. He then walked along the railroad and in the rear of the base ball park, about mile from the principal depot, dropped his Western Union telegraph frank book. He also tore up number of letters. About two o'clock Sunday morning, John Diefenthal, who works for 8 farmer on Grange moqnta4n, while driving from MoRtclair to Orange, met I a man leaning wearily against fence. It was at the junction of the mountain road leading from Orange to Montclair. It IS certain now that the man was MT. Delmon1co. He hailed Diefenthal and begged for shelter. | The farmer said that the speech of the way 1 farer was so thick that he could scarcely l understand him. MT. Delmonico's speech 1 has been thick ever since his trouble has 1 come on him. The night was bitterly cold, 1 but the farmer, who of course did not re 1 coenize the WandereF. vas afraid of tramps, l and instead of taking the man into the wagon, | drove on after directing him to Orange, 1 mile distant. The wanderipgs of the unfor' l tunats man from this point can only be con 1 jectured. He probably went aimlessiy along tha road until. overcome with cold, he laid ! down and was frozen to death.

Tha NaiIers' Strike at gVareham.
 WAREHAnl, Jan. 14.-Many of the striking nsilers were seen this morning and they all appeared to bs ia happy state of mind and look at the step they have taken only on a pure business basis. They do not intend they say to enter into any contract with the company whereby they will receive for com pensation only promises as in the past, affirming that they have ssen the folly of entering into such contracts. All the nail CTS connected with the several works in Wareham are with but few exceptions natives of the place and are an honest hard working set of men. but they appear to honestly be lieve they have been imposed on by the manufacturers in the late reduction. They do not propose to make any disturbance whatever If they can find employment elsewhere they intend to strike out in a couple of weeks. Many of the boss nailers are well to do, having anaassed quite little sum and they can with ease hold out for some time. The Franconia Iron and Steel companys men all went to work this morn under the ten Ter cent. reduction. They will not enter the strike, at present at Iaozk

The B eIated Celtic in Port.

LONDON, Jan. 14-Captain Gleadell, the commander of the belated Celtic, which ar rived in Queenstown to day in tow of the Britannia, said this evening to United Press correspondent that he had never felt any un- easiness about the capability of his vessel to make home port iu safety. The purser and the passengers after the situation was ex- plained by the captain agreed with him that it was desirable to continue on an eastward course. Captain Gleadell therefore decided to choose delay rather than danger. To pro ceed under sail would only involve delay, while to put about for America would cer- tainly be hazardous and probably impossible. He was so sure of the safety of his ship and passengers that he allowed several steamers to pass without signalling them.
