which a well known lion tanner will lose
his life, was witnessed at the Hippo
drome in this city to-day.
Tho spectacle OF Nero" is being pre-
pared at the Hippodrome, and one OF
the features of the show, as proposed, j.
an attack by a number of lions upon
wooden tgures 80 arranged in the arena
as TO represent human beings.
Seets, the lion trainer, had just con
cluded the days drilling or training OF
six lions for his performance, and was
driving them into their cages when one
of them suddenly refused TO re-enter
his cage. Seets managed to cage the
remaining five lions, and then turned
his attention to the rebellious animal,
which had taken refuge in neighbor-
ing passage.
Seets armed himself with lance and
tried TO dislodge the refractory lion, but
in so doing he tripped and lost hold Of
his lance, the weapon rolling several
yards away from him. Before the
tanner could regain possession OF the
lance the angry lion Sprdng upon the
man, hurled him to the floor
AMI bit and rent him in most horrible
SeetS' cries for help soon
brought another trainer to the scene.
The latter caught up the lance and gal
lantly attacked the lion, inflictng Sc
we're wound In the animals forehead.
COwed by the wound received, the lion
released Seets and skunk into its cage.
Medical assistance was promptly sent
for, and everything possible was done
to save the lion tamer'S life, but the
latest reports are that he is in dying
condition.

NASHVILLE FLOODED.
A Sudden Rise Causes Much Damage
Two Lives Lost.

NASHVILLE, March 9.-The phenOme-
nal rise in the river continues, and at /
O'Clock this morning the guage read
1915 feet-a rise since Friday morning
OF 2j.6.
More damage has been done by reason
Of the rapidity of the rise than would
otherwise have occurred. Probably be-
tween l,50O and 1000 people have been
driven from their homes, and goods in
warehouses and cellars have suffered.
As viewed from the bridge the river
is vast, angry torrent spreading out
over the lowlands. Nearly all the lum-
ber yards are overtlowed, and In some a
considerable loss will result. The river
has brought out a vast amount Of drift
wood. and ii is passing the city in great
quantities. Luring the day 1t was gain
ing slowly aud steadily. Merchants
were busy all day removing goods from
cellars and warehouses near the wharf
TO higher ground.
1t is estimated that there are between
800 and 800 families in the city that
have been driven from their homes by
the high waters. At the police head
ludI ltIS many iuluIllcS lbl SHtll'I dIf
being made. The reports from all
points on the river show that 1t is rising
everywhere, aud the fullness of the Ohio
and Mississippi will prevent the Cum
berland from running down Us rapidly
as IL otherwise would.
A Knoxville, Tenn, dispatch says:
Very heavy rains prevailed throughout
this section yesterday and last night,
and all streams are out Of their banks.
A Seven-year-old colored girl was

Hunter was drowned yesterday after

A Chattanooga dispatch says: The
Tennessee river at this point has reached
the danger line. and is rising three
inches per hour. Experienced river
men predict that it will reach at least

city in low-lying places, cut off several
railroads, and for time suspend the

WHY HUSTON RESIGNED.
HE Went to the President with the Re
siguation in His Pocket.

LOUISVILLE, March 9.-Yhe Courier
Journal to-day publishes the following
special from Washington:
1t now appears that Treasurer Hus-
ton, although not exactly kicked out OF
office, got out unwillingly and uneX-
pectedly. He had gone to see the Pres
ldent TO have a growl, and to talk reSig-
nation, expecting fully that he would
be Smoothed down and be begged TO re-
main and help hold up the financial
credit Of the United States.
The President, however, was little
more dySpeptic than usual himself.
The Maryland biscuit he had consumed
at breakfast did not set well on him,
and when Huston began with his usual
talk Of wanting to resign, the Prcsi-
dent said: "Well, Mr.. Huston, will
accept your resignation; please present
it," Thereupon Mr. Huston drew the
document out of his pocket, and the
President accepted it at once
Mr.. Huston is now breathing dire
threats Of what he will do in Indiana,
and if he can accomplish half what he
says he can, the President will have a
hard time to control his own delegation
in the lSg2 convention.

lent authority that Mr.. Lemcke, OF In-
diana, will take the place, Mr.. Depauw,

THE NEW JUDGES.
President Harrison Will Not Appoint
Them Until December.
Cns.5aI TsIs0r1yn IN fbs psO,sfer

Special Telegram 10 The Rsgtster.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 9.--The
President has caused great deal of
disappointment by practically deciding
not to appoint the new Circuit Judges
provided for by the law which lately
passed Congress, until December next.
A number of Members and Senators
have been lingering here TO look after
these appointments, bringing all their
influence 10 bear in favor OF this man or
that man, but now they will have to
shut OIL steam until Congress re-aSSem,
bles, as the President does not think it ai-
yisable, if, indeed, it is legal. TO appoint
the new Judges until the Senate is in
session to act on their nominations.
One OF the candidates for one of these
iudgeShipS is understood TO be Mr.. VIM.
p. Hubbard, Of Wheeling, but
il was stated to the REGISTER
correspondent at the Department
of Justice to-day that no papers had
yet been filed in Mr.. Hubbard'S behalf.
Notwithstanding the delay in appoint
ing the new Judges the Supreme Court,
together with the Circuit Judges now
in Office, constituting majority OF the
new Court, will probably organize with
ont waiting for the appointment Of
the additional Judges. Al least
this is the expectation at pres
ent. One trouble about making the
appointments at this time is that
the sort of lawyers whom Mr.. Harrison
would be apt TO choose for these posi-
tlous would probably take positions in
which they might not be retained more
than few months.
BY reason OF some decisions any one
Of them might within the next few
months make himself unpopular enough
TO defeat his confirmation.

LONDON, March "a singular con
test has just been terminated before the
Judicial Committee OF the Royal Privy
Council. Certain MOhammedanS. wOr-
Shipping in 4 mosque at Tafpore, India,
claimed that the leader and crier in
prayers were hereticS because they
uttered "Amen" aloud and raised their
hands to their ears at certain points in
the prayers. The aggrieved worShiperS
sued to have the alleged hereticS elected
from their Offices. The case was ear
ried from court To court in India, at
great expense; and finally to the friyy
Council ia England. The Privy Coun-
ell decides, after exhaustive inquiry,
that the acts alleged are not heresy. 1t
is considered u singular spectacle that
the Christian Council OF Christian
Queen should decide nice points Of
Mohammedan doctrine.
