The RaIkau War.

During the past week nothing of great impor-
tance has occurred in the attitude occupied by
Servia and Bulgaria. The former country will
not admit having been conquered, and is burn
ing to retrieve its military honor. On the 10th,
however, military operations were resumed by
King Milan, who attacked the Bulgarian out
posts at st. Nicholas, Izoor, and Krivofer, and
was repulsed at all points. On the heels of this
success for the Bulgarians comes the account of
an engagement between the belligerents at
Veliki- 1zoor, and the luck which has been with
the Bulgarians SO long appears in this instance
to have deserted them. The Bulgarians, who
were greatly outnumbered, made signs that
they wished to surrender The Servians. who
were mostly elderly men, belonging to the Sec
ond reserve, shouted in reply: "You have
already deluded our children (meaning the
youths of the first reserves) in that fashion, but
you will not deceive u.s." Thereupon they
charged the Bulgarians with the bayonet scat
tering them in every direction. The Servians
claim decisive victory, but in all probability
the affair amounts to very little.
Russia is now taking an active hand in the
affair-that is, SO far as vigorous intriguing and
plotting is concerned. She has made overtures

Lively Scene at 8 Kentucky Execution.

Joe Early was hanged last week at Williams
burg, KY, in the presence of 1000 people.
Many persons in the crowd were very drunk,
and laughed and joked, and many tried to
climb the scatfold. The guards pushed them
back and then threats to tear down the scaffold
were made. A row was started and two shots
were fired. The second shot struck Alice Sharp,
colored, in the head, making bad scalp wound.
The woman screamed, and for time there was
great excitement, but very soon order was re-
stored. Early was asked if he had anything to
say. He replied: "No; / am ready when you
are" The trap fell and Early was dead in 20
minutes from stranguation. The crime for
which Early was hanged was committed some
months ago, when he entered school taught
by Leander Lawson and created disturbance.
Early was drunk and was put out. He re-
turned and shot Lawson.

Elephant VS., Lion.

The Winter quarters of Forepaugh's show in
Philadelphia was the scene on the 9th inst of
most terrific combat between an elephant and
lion, in which the former came off victorious,
Staying his adversary. The trainer had entered
the cage Of the Nubian lion Prince, who was in
a surly mood and attacked him. and, in endeav-
oring to escape, the trainer loosed the bars of
the cage and fell out. The lion bounded out
after him, clearing his body as it lay On the
tan-covered ground. He did not turn back,
however, but pursued his way through the ring
barn and entered the open door of the elephant
house. Bolivar, the largest elephant now in
captivity, stood nodding where he was chained
to stake near the door, The lion attacked him
and an encounter ensued, which ended in the
lion being crushed to death.

Death from TrlchlnOsis.

The 10-year-old daughter of Jas. Dunn, of

VANDERBILT DEAD.
The Richest Man In the World Dies Without
Moments Warning.


The well-known financier, William 81. Van
derbilt, of New York, died suddenly on Tues
day afternoon of last week of paralysis of the
brain. Mr.. Robert Garrett, president of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, was alone with Mr..
Vanderbilt in conversation when the fatal
seizure came, and after placing pillow under
his head summoned Mrs. Vanderbilt and family,
but he was dead before they reached the apart
ment
HIS LIFE.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was born May 8, 1921 at the
Staten Island homestead of his father, and until
he reached the age Of 45 he followed the occu-
patton of farmer, working on the farm early
and late. At that age his father introduced
him into the financial world, in which, from
that time to the day of his death, he was one
of the most prominent figures.
THE CHILDREN.
The children Mr.. Vanderbilt leaves are in
their regular succession as to age from Corne-
Illus, who is about 40 years of age, down as fol-
lows: Cornelius, William T., Frederick w.,
The National tribune., 1885-12-17

and George W., and four daughters Mrs. Elliott
Shepard. Mrs. William d. Sloane Mrs. Hamil-
ton Nick. Twombly, and Mrs. DIR. Leonard
Seward. Copelius and William X. are both
actively engaged in the management Of the
family railroad interests, and will so continue.
Cornelius is the chairman of the board of direct
ors of the New York Central and the Michi-
gan Central systems. and William K holds the
same office in the Lake Shore and Nickel Plate
system. Fred. w. who is about 80 years old,
is director in all the railroads.
HIS VAST WEALTH.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was, it is thought, richer
than any single member of the Rothschild
family. The Duke of Westminster is said to
be worth $200,000000, but Mr.. Vanderbilt was
richer, because the Dukes money only pays
him about 2 per cent, being mainly in lands
an6 houses. Mr.. Vanderbilt bad larger in
come. Last year he held $54,000000 of per
cent bonds, and later he reduced this amount
to $50, 100000 Of Government 81 per cents. His
Government bonds were worth SO, 900, 900. and
at one time he owned 100000 shares of Michi-
gan Central, 100000 of Northwestern and 200,
000 shares of Larke Shore. He is said to have
sold considerable Lake Shore lately. In addi
tion he had 10000 shares of Chicago & Rock Is
land, 10000 shares of Delaware & Lackawanna,
and about 10000 shares in other railroads,
making in all about $4,000 shares of railway
stock; also S22, ,000, 900 worth of railway bonds,
$3,200,0O0 of State and city bonds. and $2,OOO,-
600 in various manufacturing stocks and mort
cages. He valued his house on Fifth avenue,
with its art treasures, at 100000
His ordinary household expenses were $780,
900 year. In 1884 he gave a ball that cost
