What He Did Decide Endorsed by CIeve-
Land Lawyers-The Cases All to Go to
the Supreme Court Whatever the Final
fend the Brotherhoods - Depew and
Wager Swayne Discuss the Matter eau
tiously.
=, CLEVELAND, March 2l.-It is stated here
shat the remarks made by Judge Kicks at
Toledo upon the injunction granted have
been misconstrued. 1t was not his pur-
pose to make them any part of the court
proceedings beyond advice to the men as
to what they should do in the face of the
courts orders. They We're not intended in
the nature of decision, as the case had
not at that time come up for trial Today
at the hearing at Toledo it is expected that
a decision will be rendered. The members
of the Cleveland bar in general are of the
opinion that the course of Judge Kicks
was clearly right under the law by which
he was guided.
Attachment of Chief Arthur.
Chief Arthur is to be attached at Toledo
today for the purpose of detailing the secret
work and methods of the Brotherhood
of Engineers, and how he has authority to
order locomotive engineers to refuse to

shall Harmons is said to have the order for
his attachment.

manded by Judge Kicks They had James

Uance of the hearing until O'Clock today.
No matter what Judge Kicks decides in
the contempt cases an appeal will be taken
to the supreme court.
Frank II ard to Defend.
Frank Hurd will defend the seven en-
gineers and fireman. In an interview yes
terday Judge Kicks is quoted as saying
that he did not believe that Chauncey
Depew would have criticised the action of
the court had he understood the exact nat
ure of the action taken. Traffic on the Ann
Arbor road is somewhat congesred despite
the herculean efforts of the company to
raise the blockade.

Where Are Her Crew?

NEW YORK, March 21.-The finding of
two boats of the steamer Naronic, one of
which had evidently been occupied, has
settled the fate of the vessel, but not that
of her crew She had sixty-nine souls on
board, and it is hoped that they escaped in
boats and We're afterward picked up by
some vessel, as one of the boats was right
side up. 1t is supposed that the Naronic
ran into an iceberg.

MOBILE. Oct. 4.-The details of the storm which broke over the gulf coast Monday morning and ragged with increasing fury for five or six hours are just beginning to come in, and. aS was feared, indications are that the loss of life in the low lands east of the city has been very great.
 The inundated portion of the city pre- sOnted an animated appearance, and the work of cleaning out the muddy sediment from the stores deposited by the receding water and the debris from the streets was pushed with energy.
 Among the casualties to shipping the following are all that are known up to ths present time: Eastern shore steamer Cres- sent City, beached two miles below the rity: river steamers Lee and Lotus, driven On the marshes high and dry, about two miles above the city. and will probably both be total losses; tug Colonel Woodruff, driven in the marshes and may be floatcd; the steam yacht Annie l., almost bottom mp near the mouth of Chickasabogue rreek. In addition to these vessels quite a number of harges were blown in the marshes that line both banks of the river.
 Tangled Network of Foliage.
 The beautiful shell road which wound along the western shore of the Mobile bay for a distance of nine miles is almost 8 to- ldl ACEoSS Nllc EOstlbStl IlAssSS of logs and driftwoOd piled in a most inex- tricable confusion, while across that DOT ton of the road which the storm has left intact trees have been blown in a tangled network of foliage. ..

Armed With Iron Spikes
 DELHI, N. Y, Oct 4.-whilc feeding a tiger in its cage at Walton, Delaware coun- ty Lion Tanner Harry Reed was attacked by the animal and narrowly escaped being torn to pieces. The tiger belonged to Wal ter l.. Mains circus, which exhibited at Walton.
 At the evening performance Reed went into the Bengal tigers cage and began to feed the beast raw meat from his own mouth. There was lion in the same cage which had been fed in this way few min utes before When the trainer put the meat into h;s mouth and held it out for the tiger, the giant cat sprang at him, knock ing him over.
 The animal swallowed the meat and made n second spring, this time for human blood. With one of its paws the animal struck Reed on the right arm and breast, tearing his tights and terribly lacerating his flesh. The claws on the tigers other foot sank deep into the keepers thigh, and at the same time its jaws closed over his arm just below the shoulder.
 The Spectators Were Panic Stricken.
 The spectators became terribly fright ened and women tainted at the sight, while men rushed for the exit of the tent in great disorder.
 Reed kept his nerve throughout the ter terrlble Orucal, ana II was thlS alone that saved his life The tiger dashed its sides with its tail. its eyes flashed fire and, mad, dcned by the taste of blood, it made the tent resound with its rOars, All this time. which seemed hours to the oulookcrS, Rcrd looked the tiger straight in the eye. He called to two assistants, who, Rs soon as they recovered from their fright. seized -'u bikes and attacked the enra E|cd tiger.
 The pain of the wounds caused the tiger to drop the keeper for an instant. Quick as a flash the man made his escape from the cage. He was so weak from loss of blood and the terrible strain to which hc had been subjected that he tainted the moment he was out of danger.
 The excitement of the ~pCctaturS now bs'- came uncoutrollahlr and men chccrrd and yelled as thuugh mad. The mans wounds. though exceedingly painful, arc not dan EcrOuS

the route IT churches were wrecked, five of them being located at Grand Bay.
 In Scranton land at East Pascagoula, for miles distant on the south, houses were blown down, stores flooded and stocks dam aged, while at East Pascagoula, which is the port of entry, the entire beach is said to have been wrecked. The losses at the two points are said to reach $IOO,O ,O0O The damage to the Louisville and Nashville railway is beyond computation at this time. Reports from Montgomery are to the effect that the bridge across the Three Mile creek Is damaged, and portion of the Tensas bridge is washed away. There are 400 trees across the track between Bay Minette and Dyas creek, a distance of 10 miles.
 Tale of Dcsolation and Death.
 A rowboat trip along the marshes by n reporter reveals taleJof desolation and death that will almost equal those sent out n month ago from Savannah and the sen islands. At every point touched houses were completely gone, while the upper eastern shore was swept as if by a cyclone. From Blakely, as far southeast as reports could be had, the natives report only death and destruction. For miles inland the trees are laid low, and much loss of life is re- ported all along the shore. Rumors place the loss of life at 90, but possibly not more than D have perished.
 Five children, the oldest not over years of age, were found tied together in the marsh opposite the mouth of Spanish river, They said their father and mother had gone in a boat after the house.
 The spots inhabited by the marsh gar dencrs are only n few feet above mean low water, and the houses are generally built on billings as a precaution against high tides, Their continued absence from their accustomed places in the market house will probably be the only way in which the gardeners fate will ever be ascertained.
 The upper delta of the rivers debouching into Mobile bay are reported to be full of floating bedding, furniture and household goods, showing that the reports of suffer ing and death from this quarter arc not OVerStatcd.
