that the road is to be a standard gauge
road, 4 feet 81 inches wide. The ORR
ginal contract gave the construction
company $4,000 per mile of stocks
and bonds. Afterwards without reason
shown this was increased to $4,000.
The confessed judgment for S715,OO0
is another evidence of identity. The
railroad company never paid dollar
or performed an act except to make
contracts with construction company,
execute mortgages, issue stocks and
bonds, &c.
1t never had any assets except the
bonds and stocks it issued to the con-
struction company out of the subsidies
given it by cities and towns which
were transferred bodily to the construc-
tion company. The conclusion is
irresistible that the two companies
are one and the same, and therefore
the contractors have liens on the roads
their labor and material has called into
being.
1t is conceded that the judgment in
favor Of Mcdonald, Shea & Co. should
be credited with $4,000, leaving the
judgment $441 ,094.43.
In that branch of the case where w.
P. Harris, files his petition, court held
that he was entitled to no lien as to
the $3,794.40 and the 81, ,026.62 claims.
AS to the item OF $2,601. so in his favor
and as to the item of HI. III. Carr of
$4,000, the court is ofiopinion that
the Chancellor erred. These two sums
are for money advanced by Harris and
Carr in paying for rights Of way and
for legal services rendered by Carr as
general counsel for the road in Ten
nessee /; these advances for rights of
way were made upon agreement with
the construction company that they
should tetainthe deeds for rights Of
way till. the, money was refunded
These deeds were surrendered by order
of court without prejudice to rights of
Harris and Carr. They would have
had no right to sell or dispose of these
deeds, but they had a. right to retain
them till the advancements were
refunded. The decree is 80 modified
as to make these claims a lien on the
fund second only to the rights OF way
claims. The surrender of these deeds
Injured to the benefit of all the credi-
tors by putting the road in more
salable condition.
John Hasson & Co. filed the petition
being sub-contrsctors under Mcdonald
Shea & Go. Chancellor's decree
modified 30 as to give them an addi-
tional allowance for extra work Of $3,-
245,00
In other respects the decree OF the
Chancelloris affirmed.
The result OF this decision is that a
railroad company can not hide behind
a construction company. When they
are bona fide distinct companies with
distinct and different interests the Law
must regard them as separate, but
when they do not deal at arms length
and on the contrary are SO intimate
Ms in this case, the court will consider
the one as the agent OF the other or
even as the same person.

Another element necessary for the sue
cessful trainer of wild animals is alb
sence Of fear, an equable temperament
and instructive liking for him on the
part Of the animal. For these beasts
have their likes and dislikes, their
loves and their hatreds M well. Mr..
Hagenbeck attributes his success with
all sorts of savage beasts and deadly
reptiles largely to the fact that he loves
all creatures and in many cases feels n
genuine affection for his wards and
pupils. Some attendants can never
win the confidence and good will of
certain wild beasts, and whenever that
fact has become apparent IL is in
furious TO the business TO retain
their services. One particular lion

to a circus in Germany when Mr.. Hag-
enbeck himself took her in hand. Then
she readily and instantly yielded to
the sympathetic influence her master
exercised over her. A young lion that
had proved quite unmanageable, and
that for four weeks had not learned n
thing, was recently in the sole charge
of Philadelphia, one of Mr.. Hagen
beck's best trainers. Philadelphia
went into the lions cage, and when the
lion disobeyed him, he went for him
single handed with a pitchfork, reduc-
ing him into complete subjection in
| side of five minutes. The lion since
fears, respects and loves his trainer
/ who, on his part, has not been forced
to resort to punishment once since
that time.

brought under subjection, the most
reliable and harmless pets? Yet such
is the case, if forty years experience
enables Mr.. Hagenback to be a
good judge. OF course, he says,
no wild beasts are ever thoroughly
trained if brought under human inhu-
ence at too late period in their lives.
Such beasts, even if taught all that can
be taught them, are liable at any time
to have their innate savage instincts
break ont and overcome in n moment
all the fruits of tedious and painful
training. But when caught young
in the days of babyhood-the lion and
the tiger are easiest to deal with. They
both learn their lessons we'll, and their
memory is tenacious and retentive.
They both appreciate kindness and feel
a steady affection for those whom they
have come to look upon as their friends.
While in course of training they must
be handled with great care, and pun
ishment must be meted out to them
only when absolutely required for the
safety OF the trainer or of the other
animals. But even then this punish
ment must be made up for by redoubled
kindness soon after, so as to impress
strongly on the minds of these animals
that it was punishment for the offense
committed, not cruelty, that caused
them to suffer, and that they have not
forfeited the good will of their friend
because of it. The elephant is much
more intelligent and cunning than both
lion and tiger, and he easily learns all

Like that superior animal, man. these
beasts are also subject 10 all sorts of
disease. In fact, the mortality among
them is much higher than il is among
the human race. For this fact, OF
course, the inclemencies of climate are
largely responsible. The influenza

bipeds. Pneumonia, consumption,
dysentery, fevers, stomach complaint,
ETC., are a frequent scourge among
them, and Mr.. Hagenbeck feels still
very sore over the fact that he has lost

animals-and among them some of HE

burg. All told, some 100 of his
trained beasts have succumbed to
various diseases since he began training
for the Worlds Fair. Monkeysi in this
climate are especially liable to lung
diseases, and consumption is carrying
off number of them at present, but
some of them, too, were killed by his
own panthers and leopards.
Such mishaps, besides, are Of frequent
occurrence in the life of large dealer
in and trainer of wild beasts like Mr..
Hagenbeck. At may be interesting to
know that this man has, up to n year
ago, alone carried out of Africa $50
elephants, 375 giraffes, 200 antelopes,
$50 panthers, 78 lions and "a Gstriches,
besides 1856 snakes and crocodiles.
That of this large number, now and
then, there were some fugitives may
easily be believed. Thus, twelve
elephants that he brought with him
from Africa as part of large consign-
ment escaped, while in transit, in
Vienna. Mr.. Hagenbeck. however,
got them all back and by using the
following simple but original strata.
gem: He recaptured the youngest and
smallest elephant of the herd, and
then he pinched the ears of his baby
elephant 40 persistently and vigorously
as to make the animal yell and roar
and trumpet with pain, thus inducing
all the other fugitives to return to the
spot, driven back by curiosity and
sympathy.
Another time, just on the point OF
loading his wild animals on board a
steamer In Suez, Mr.. Hagenbeck was
leading a giraffe, having rope slung
tightly around his right wrist. Sud-
denly the animal took fright and ran
off with that haste and speed for which
giraffes are 30 famous. More from

beck, unable to disengsge himself from
the rope, was obliged to share the
flight Of his giraffe. More dead than
alive he was finally rescued some dis.
tance from town, after having been
dragged along for several miles by the
panicky animal at -mile-per- hour
gait. Another time an enraged and
entirely untamed elephant made a
thrust at him with his two immense
tusks. As luck would have it they
were SO far apart rs to just take his
body in between them, his sides being
but slightly grazed.
