FEEDING THE LIONS.
How POmpey Devours His Lunch ot
 Twenty Pounds of Meat

How POmpey Devours His Lunch O. Twenty Pounds of Meat.
 Feeding the animals in the circ
 one of the most interesting sights
 seen anywhere. Most people,
 they go to the show, miss this pa
 the entertainment in their hurry '. all the other curious sights. Of
 we all know how utterly impossib
 to take in the whole of the show,
 is so much to be seen, but to see animals fed is one of the m est agr | of the many sights to be found
 menageries. It was only recen tly
 visitor to Barnum 6 Bailey's greatest
 show on earth stopped before the lion cage when the keeper was just about to feed them. There were five of these ferocious African beasts confined in one l compartment. The biggest and kind | Hest of these was named Pompey. The | rear part of his body was as sleek as | that of we'll groomed horse, while the forward part was covered with a great growth of shaggy hair, supplemented
 by an immense flowing mane. He sat
 upon his launches and looked at his visitors in dignified and kingly man.
 ner, and then began to sniff the air. | There was evidently something in the
 wind and his royal highness detected it.
 That something was the scent of fresh
 meat, and it had marked effect upon
 him. He began scraping the floor of his cage with his paws
 The meat was somewhere in the vicin- | lty, and it was evidently coming nearer,
 for the great 1,600-pound beast worked | himself into frenzy of desire. His ap- petite was proportionate to his size
 After ten minutes of suspense the keep
 CT appeared with an iron bar, four feet long, and placed on the ground, out | side the cage, before each lion, piece
 of fine meat weighing about twenty pounds. The lions were now in a terri | tlc state of expectation. There was the meat right under their noses and they | could not get it. Pompey lay down on
 his bell and reached out his great paw,
 but fled to grasp the food. Then he Fs. CIV himself against the bars of his cage with tremendous force, but with no preceptible effect. While making l the keeper picked it up with his pointed
 rod and thrust it against the cage. The lion seized it with both paws, but for several minutes was unable to get 1t
 through the bars. Finally he succeeded in.pulling it through and down upon | the floor of the compartment, when he placed both paws upon it and began l licking the meat with his tongue, which
 is as rough as rasp. This was appar- ently noG satlSfactcry, TOT he suddenly opened his jaws and bit off pound of
 the meat at one bite, cutting right
 through the bone. Within ten minutes
 the entire twenty pounds of meat had | disappeared down the red throat of
 Pompey, and he was complacently lick
 ing his chops and. paws in the same
 way as cat does when in the act of
 ''washing its face," as the term is popu- l larly used.
 By all means see the animals fed | when the show comes here on Saturday.

THE eLMlRA NATIONAL susPENDs
Trouble Due to the Failure of Col. D. c.
 RobinsOn


 ELMIRA, N. Y, May 24.-The Elmira National Bank closed it's doors at a. Ill. The banks failure is the result of the re cent financial troubles of Col D. c. Rob- inson.
 The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York agreed to advance $750, 900 to Col Robinson. The company, however, decided to render no further assistance to the colonel, and as he was large creditor of the bank, it was decided by the direc- tors to apply to the Comptroller of the Currency for the appointment of re- ceiver.
 The bank examiners last week reported the bank perfectly solvent in case Col. Robinson paid his obligations; if not the depositors then would be paid in full with a small loss to the stockholders.
 The Elmira Savings Bank, which is in the same building, is not affected by the Elmira National Bank failure Jackson Richardson, president of the bank, says that the depositors will positively be paid in full. The deposits in the bank amount to about $200,00

WORK OF THE WIND
The Cyclone at Cleveland-Great Dana
 at Louisville.


 CLEVELAND, O., May 24-This city has somewhat recovered from the cyclone oi yesterday, but many wires are still down, and telephone and telegraph communica tion is not fully restored.
 The storm struck the city shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and in hali hour immense damage was done.
 A scatfolding at the new Bradley build ing, corner of Erie and Superior streets, was blown down and four men were hurt William O'Neill, Miles Johnson, Michael Murphy and Michael Hughes. The injured were taken to the Lakeside Hospital.
 Telephone, telegraph, electric light and street railway wires were terribly mixed up. The trolley current was grounded in the public square by broken guy rope of the electric light masts, causing a pyro- technic display and blockade of trolley cars.
 The Big Four freight house on the docks was almost entirely unroofed.
 Two men were killed at the Cleveland Rolling Mill works in Newburg during the cyclone. The new steel cupola was blown down and four men who were on the scaffold fell 30 feet.
 Jake Ravish was killed instantly. An Italian named Mike was caught by a steel beam and crushed to death. It required jacks to lift the beams from his body, which was crushed horribly.
 Tommy Mcguire had both legs and back broken and will die Another unknown man was severely injured, but will recover.
 The steel cupola is total wreck.
 LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 24.-Again the wind has worked it's will upon Louisville. Dwellings are ruined, streets are filled with the wreckage of roofs, with broken and uprooted trees, with remnants of walls and twisted wires. No lives are known to be lost, and few of the injuries received are serious. The total loss is about $40, 900.
 The blow struck the south of the city yesterday morning sending it's destructive force first upon the Louisville &c Nashville @ roundhouse at Tenth and Broadway. From there on to the centre of the aitY there was little damage, save by chimn0Ss blown down and trees uprcoted. The full force of the wind struck the square bounded ny Campbell, Hancock, Broad way and Green streets, and there the principal damage was done.
 When the storm struck the city, eight workmen, under the charge of James Dad igan. night foreman at the big Louisville & Nashville road house at Tenth and Broadway, were busy about the engines. As the wind struck the circular building the roof was lifted free from all fastenings, and then as Hull came, dropped from it's own weight, squarely upon the structure. The walls stood the pressure, but the roof crashed down upon the interior.
 The heavy engines were overturned like tops, but the men escaped almost miracu- lously from death.

Brooklyn .BTGefS.

The Porter street school grounds are being generally improved under the direction of Chairman Tierney, of the district committee. The grounds were little better than a sand bed and the least wind carried the dust into the school rooms. A heavy coat of loam has been. put about the front of the building and nice green sods are being laid on it. In the rear of the building a coat of loam two inches thick has been put on and the whole ground has been graded. Cutters are also being put down on each side of the school lot to keep the waters, which flow down from Charles street, from cutting up the grounds.

Great Damage Done to Oil We'll Derricks.
 House Blows Down.
 BRADFORD, Pa., May 24.-A severe wind and rainstorm swept over this section yes terday doing great damage to oil well der ricks, telegraph and telephone wires. In the immediate vicinity of Bradford 70 oil derricks were prostrated by the wind. A new two story dwelling on High street was lifted from it's foundation and demol- ished.
 A falling derrick at the head of Congress street fell on a dwelling house crushing in the kitchen. Luckily none of the inmates were injured.
 Trains on all the narrow gauge railroads were hemmed in by fallen trees and were from four to eight hours late. On account of the wires being down the damage to out lying districts cannot be ascertained. The storm is reported to have been very severe in the vicinity of Oil City.

To th9 Public in General and
 CuStfm IS in PaFtiCulr:

It is new ne ,rly three years since we outgrew our pres2nt large quarters The great volume of business dor e is surprise to ourselves as we'll as to the public. That such business u'd be done in cit of this size is without precedent, so far as we can learn. AND IT IS NOT A MUSHROOM GROWTH. It has been built up step by step from the bottom. It is the logical result and the oatgrowth of sound bushes principles. It is the result of putting conscience into business, quality into goods and words into actions. In these days, when nine tenths of the men who go into business believe that the people must be humbugged in order to be success ful in dealing with tn; m, it is refreshing as we'll as encouraging to the youth ofours land to be able to demonstrate that such is not the truth. The old fashioned truths taught at our mothers knee are still the ones to follow.
 We have been compelled to seek larger quarters, but we will be in business at the old stand for some mo ths to come, South Main and Grand streets, Large bodies move slowly and it will be so in our case The weather of late has retarded our pro- gress in the way of delivering goods, but we have done our best to satisfy our cus- tomera, and they have been kind in over looking some delays that leased them a great deal, and for which we are very sorry. We have never had such variety of gccds before, and the low prices are surprising every body. But this is because we buy in such large quantities. Our Quaker Ranges continne to be the favor ite; they burn less coal and bake the best of any stove in the world, and we give a guarantee with every one of them. Our various lines, Carpets, Crockery, Stoves, Ranges, Woodenware, Pictures and Fur niture were never so complete, and prices were never so low. Our underta taking de- partment is mo3el of excellence, and evtrybody is attended with great care and consideration. Night calls are answered at 3S Grand street, where two night clerks are always in attendance.

The Best Fitting Clothing

May strike you as a strong impression, but nothing less would half tell the story of our Spring Suits. We fit everybody, and fit so perfectly in every instance that there'l be more we'll dressed men in Waterbury than ever before. These suits are made to fit and to wear, end what's more, are fit to wear and will stay fit un- til they're worn out. Of course, any gar ment will wear out, but these suits will certainly outwear any ordinary ready made suit you can buy. Light colors are cool and stylish for summer wear; we have lots of them-just the kind that are selling this summer, with plenty of fur nishing goods and hats to go with them.
