Of the wild beasts. He had been giving
a performance in the lions cage before a
considerable NUMBER Of spectators as
sembled in the Lisbon. circus, when, as
he was preparing to step out, lioness
called Nelly few at him and nearly tore
him to pieces. Maximin struggled for
nearly 10 minutes with the brute, twice
seizing its tongue, but he became faint
from the loss of blood The honess was
shot through the heart by one of the cir
Gus clowns, and Poison, another French
tanner, succeeded in keeping in check
the other animals in the cage. Maximin,
fearfully mangled and lacerated, was
carried in dying state to the hospital,

struck BY Artificial Lightning.

In one of the theaters here piece is
given in which. during the first act,
there is thunderstorm. In order to
produce the lightning two electric cables
are used, the ends of which terminate
in carbons like those used for electric
lamps. When a fash of lightning is to
be produced, a man behind the scenes
nnites the poles of the two cables, which
produces an electric spark, and the thing
Is done. For some time past q workman
occupied on the stage had always
wstched the Lightning producer with
the greatest attention. The other day
during rehearsal he thought he would
like to try his hand at it. He took hold
Df the cables and produced the fash. but
In consequence Of some awkward hand
ling on his part the electric spark struck
him, and he fell to the ground completely
paralyzed. He was at once taken to the
hospital. but all medical skill was in
vain. The unfortunate man. died.
