A BLOODY SCENE.
Escape of an A rican Lion from His Cage
in Chicago.

Chicago special: A bloody scene was
witnessed yesterday morning in barn on
the West Side, in which the participants
were a ferocious hon and a diminutive
Shetland pony. Charlie, the lion tanner,
when the winter set in, stored his animals
in this barn until the opening of the cir
Gus season in the spring. His menagerie
consisted of fine horse, Shetland pony
valued at $1,000 and two African lions of
huge proportions. Yesterday morning he
entered the barn accompanied by several
little children, a lady and Mr.. Harris, and
prepared to enter the cage.
Before doing so however, for some rea-
son he made the children go out of the
barn. When all was ready he opened the
cage and quickly stepped in, having ar
ranged 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. Sink
ing his teeth in the neck of the pony, he
tore it into pieces.
The cries of the inoffensive animal were
frightful, but very brief, while the lady,
Harris and the tanner were frightened al
most beyond power to take steps to pre-
serve their own lives. As quickly as pos
sible Harris and Charlie got out of the
barn, and, procuring some large spongas,
saturated them with chloroform, tied them
to long sticks and applied them to the
nostrils OF the lion, while he was busily
engaged in devouring the pony. He was
soon stupeiied, after which they sum-
moued assistance and succeeded in re-
placing him in the cage, where he soon
revived. The escape OF the lady and Mr..
Harris was almost miraculous, and is at
tributable, possibly, to the presence OF the
pony, which the lion must have regarded
rs legitimate prey.

tion," says the Rev. j. A. Edie, of Beaver,
Pa, was cured by Samaritan Nerviiae.'

THE CANE.GROWERS,
Filth Annual Convention OF the Missis
sipki valley Assoeiatfon.

Sr. Lotus, January l6.-The fifth annual
convention of the Mississippi Valley Cane
Growers Association met this morning
with about fifty delegates present as rep
reseHtatiyes from the several States. The
annual address was delivered by President
Norman J. Coleman, of st. Louis, who
reviewed the work OF the year. The
speaker believed that the time had come
to organize national cane-growers asso-
citation, with the object of developing the
sugar industry throughout the country.
The planting of cane was yearly extend
ing. The value of syrup produced from
Northern cane is estimated at Sl0,000,000.
The meeting-room was flled with samples
of sugar made froin Nof.hefu cane, which
were inspected with much interest. The
address of the president was referred to a
committee of four for consideration. A
delegation of five from the Louisiana
Sugar-Growers' Association are present at
the convention.
On rcassembling, several new members
were enrolled. The president announced
the committee to confer with the Louisiana
delegation; he also read letter from
Gov. Bate, of Tennessee, accrediting 4.
w. Clifford as representative of the Bu-
reau of Agriculture of Tennessee.
Mr.. Belcher, from the committee to take
into consideration the business of the last
convention, reported that the committee
recommend that the association be here
after knowSas the National Cane Growers
Association, and that the officers of cane
growers associations OF the different
States be constituted honorary members
of the ational Association,
The president received the report and
instructed the committee to draw up a
constitution and bylaws.
Mr.. Ciarkson, of Nebraska, then gave a
verbal report on the cane and sugar pros
poets in that State.

THE MEXICAN TREATY,


The Chances far sts Ratification De-
opiniOns Of Southern seua-
tOrB.
WAsIINGTsN, January l6.-No apparent
progress was made on the Mexican treaty
today, although the Senate devoted near
" four hours to its consideration. Its
friends are much less confident of its rati-
tication tonight than earlier in the week.
The division of opinion is found to be
upon neither sectional, political nor econ
omic lines. Free-traders and protection
lists, Southern, Northern and Eastern Sem
ators, Democrats and Republicans, are
fourd on both sides. The South.
with the exception Of the LOUIS
lana Senators, EaS expected to BE
nearly unanimous in favor OF ratification; ;
but if the present estimates of the oppo-
nents of the treaty are trustworthy, the
expectation is not well founded. 1t is
said that nearly one-half the Southern
Senators expressed either open opposition
20 the treaty or strong doubts OF
it's utility. They say it opens no market
for Southern staples, rs neither meats,
1Cur nor cotton products can be exported
20 Mexico under its provisions. petro-
leum, said one Southern Senator, will be
the chief export to Mexico, and the Stan
dard Oil Company the chief beneficiary.
No disposition Ia kill the treaty bv indi-
rect means has developed since the motion
TO recon init, and its friends believe them
selves able to secure an early vote at all
events

France Racks Down Completely.
New YORK, January 16.-A private let
ter from gentleman residing at Canton,
dated December 5th, says: 'China is de-
termined to fight, and war can only be
avoided by France backing clear down to
the ground. France made an awful mud
die of the whole affair. Had she acted
with force at first, Tonquin would now be
hers, and everything be quiet. The idea
of occupying the country with only 1000
or 1000 troops is too absurd for serious
contemplation, but that's just what France
attempted. France, in her delay and
want of resolution, led China to believe
that fear kept her back, and this idea has
taken such hold on the Chinese mind that
SHE would not be satisfied with anything
short of a complete surrender OF the posi-
ton which France has assumed. The
TonQuin troops are potirinS in from the
north, and are being raised here. Tie
writer says Chinaman told him the other
day: sit is no use trying to get along
peaceably with country like France,
which is the most troublesome nation that
ever existed. China must rise up as one
man and crush the pride of the French.
Germany tried it, but, although she sue
ceeding in winning the day, stopped short
of the mark, 30 now it rests with China
to complete the humiliation OF proud and
arrogant France" Such is the sentiment
of all the Chinese from the highest TO the
lowest

4 HORRIBLE SIGHT.
A woman an. Her Husband Burned to
Death.

FALL RIVER, January 16.-About 10
O'Clock tonight gentleman passing the
residence Of Chas. L. Stickney discovered
a blaze in the upper chambers. Entering
the house he was met by a horrible
sight. Just inside the door on the
stairs was Stickney, his clothing in flames
and his hands shockingly burned. At
the head of the stairs lay Mrs. Stickney
dead, her clothing burned off. 1t was
learned that Stickney's clothing took fire
in his endeavor to save his wife. A ser
want girl was the only other inmate, and
could give no particulars regarding the
cause of the fire. Stickney's condition is
precarious.. Stickney is one of the three
Fall River defaulterS sentenced at Con-
cord.
The flesh on Mrs. Stickney's limbs, body
and face was horribly burned The face
showed that death was preceded by terri
bic agony. Prompt work by neighbors
and firemen soon checked the flames,
which did slight damage. Stickney was
removed to a neighbor's house and medi-
cal aid summoned. One hand was burned
almost completely of, and he lay
in terrible agony. As near as can
be ascertained, Mrs. Stickney had
been engaged in saturating the carpet in
naphtha to kill moths, and in some man.
ner the naphtha igni ed, and in an instant
the whole room was ablaze. The flames
communicated to Mrs. Stickney's clothing,
and she ran out to the head of the stairs,
where she fell exhausted, and Stickney,
hearing her screams, hurried to her as
sistance, with the result mentioned.
