HE SAVED LINCOLN'S LIFE.
Colonel Sillowaye is Penniless, Ill and Des
 titute-A Brave Man.

Colonel StllOwaye IS Penn1less, III and Des-
 titute-A Brave Man.
 Boston, July 31.-Colonel William AL len Huntley Sillowaye. who once saved President Lincoln, and who possesses an enviable war record, is with his wife living in single room in a lodging house,217 Harrison avenue, ,penniless,i i'll and destitute. Colonel Sillowaye is in his seventy-sixth year. He is an appli- cant for a pension on account of his wounds, but his application is hung up in Washington. He was wounded four times and was in Libby prison.
 The feat which brought him national reputation was the saving of President Lincoln's life in 1863. This happened af- ter Colonel sillowaye was wounded at South Mountain, and had resigned to 20 into the navy. The affair happened in May, and in the old mans words the story of it is as follows:
 '.The president had been down to City Point and was coming back with us on the Brooks We were running by To- bacco Point when Confederate bat tery opened fire on us, and shot came through our port paddle. The steamer stopped and began to drift. We could see them on the Virginia shore prepar- ing to get boat off to us. Cap.ain Brooks, our commander, did not know what to do, when came on deck and said to him we must get the presi- dent off at all hazards. said I would go if he would get crew. It was dusk, and the crew with it's charge was soon lost in the shadows. We landed the president in safety on the Mary land shore, where he remained in se- curity until he could be transported to Washington. The Confederates boarded our vessel and demanded the president, and, failing to find him, wreaked their spleen on the sick and disabled aboard"
 Colonel Sillowaye received letters from the president and Secretary stSh- ton in recognition, and Stanton said in his letter: "The president believes that you, under the guidance of proyi- dence, saved him from capture, if not from instant death."
 He was then commissioned a full fedged colonel as . reward for his ser vicesA

Nothing Was Sensational, Though, at Buff
 falo's Opening Race Day.
 Buffalo. July 31.-Nothing of sensa- tional character marked the opening day of the local grand circuit meeting. Ehe three events on the card were all won by favorites. but in one race it looked as though the best horse did not win. This was in the opening event, the p;03 trot. Newcastle took the first heat very handily in 2:t5A, but lost the next to Sixty-Six in much slower time. In the fourth heat Splan's drive was not an exhibition of winning reinsmanship, and though he forced out the village farm colt in time that equaled the first mile, the effort came too late to do any good. "Knapsack" Mccarthy had a mare in the same race who seemed put only to get warmed up.
 Rubenstein captured the 2:25 pace off the reel, by going three good miles in PIP. He was not forced in any one of them, and predictions are now numer- ous that he will be the side-wheeler that will finally lower. the colors of Robert J. This pacing phenomenon of '94 is certainly world beater, and is now going in the best of style. Even af- ter his race to-day he was sent to a workout mile in company with Axel. md beat out the trotter by half a length In 2:15.
 The two-year7old event was easy for Marie D., and she went the two miles necessary well within herself. Miss Kate kept near her in the second heat and Malebone did the act in the first heat, but neither could go the clip set by Marie D. To-morrow's card includes the special race between Robert J. C2:05X) and NaScot (2:0D.

TANGLED BsS LION. One of Hagenbeck's Traf g Beats Escaped and Attacked IN P Keeper.


 New York. July SLEt Manhattan Beach last night one do he largest of Hagenbecks trained liScc managed in some way to get out oss, cage after the performance was oes'rs snd the fel- inc artists had been re a for the night. sy
 A keeper who was sleeping near the cages was awakened by the noise as the lion slid out of his iron-bared cell and the uneasiness and snarls of the other animals, which seemed to be conscious that there was something unusual taking place. The man called for help and attempted to drive the animal back, but the beast sprung upon him and would have killed but for the timely arrival of the other keep CTS and the watchman around the build ing.
 After considerable difficulty the lion was captured and put back in his cage, although pandemonium reigned with the howls of the other animals while the struggle between the liberated beast and the keepers was going on. The injured man, whose name is Arm strong. was removed and placed under the care of a physician. His wounds were serious but not fatal.
 It is the first time in several months that any of the trained animals have given the Hagenbeck keepers any trou- ble. When one of them does get out for little amusement of his own. the operation of recapturing him has noth ing in it resembling the episode in which the moth-eaten old Wallace fig ured in the East Eighteenth street stable.

WILL AGREE ON ALL ITEMS.
COSFEREES MILL REPORT TIE
 TARIFF BILL ON TH URSDAY.

It Has Been Said That There Is . Weak ness on the Part of the Houso-Mr. Springer Believes the Time of Pass- Ing the Tariff Bill Is Not Far Distant Washington, July 3l.-The democrat
 ic conferees on the part of both houses
 met this morning and devoted upwards
 of two hours to very careful discus
 sion of the whole situation. When they
 had finished their work 1t was evident
 that hope was renewed in the demo-
 cratic breast and the senate members
 of the committee appeared more hope
 full than at any time during the past
 two weeks. It was stated by one mem-
 Der of the committee that the sugar
 schedule now stood alone in the way
 and there was every indication of a
 speedy agreement on that, the house
 conferees this morning giving, 1t was
 said, unmistakable symptoms of a
 weakening on their part. One prominent
 member of the conference made the
 unqualified statement that report will
 be ready to submit to the whole confer
 ence by Thursday and that it would be
 agreeable on every item, on the lines of
 the senate bill in all the essentials upon
 which there have been vital disagree ments.,
 It is known that the conferees have agreed on practically every item of dis agreement in the bill save three that
 have blocked their pathway to success. These agreements are in line with the concessions heretofore mentioned in these dispatches. It is further said that they have about settled the matter of iron ore and coal. Iron ore will remain as fixed by the senate Coal will also
 be kept on the dutiable list without any
 change in the rate of duty. but 1t may
 be the senate will permit an amend ment which will be in the line of reel
 procity. admitting Canadian coal free
 if the Dominion admits the coal of this country. It is within the range of pos sibility that the senate may yield 5 per cent. on the duty of these two articles. Sugar still continues the bone of con- tention, the house conferees maintain ing that they must have some conces- sions there. This the senate refuses to yield. Several propositions have come
 from the house side, but as all of them look to the elimination of the differen- tial on refined sugar, they have been ignored by the senate members of the conference.
 This afternoon Mr.Springer went over to the senate to see what the chances were for the success of the house tariff bill or compromise. He returned to, the house feeling very confident that there was no sign of weakening on the part of the senate. MT. Springer said: T have looked carefully over the situa- ton. and while I believe the senate conferees will be glad to recede the fate of the bill does not appear to rest with
 them The more important question is
 how do Senators Gorman5 Smith, Mur- phy, Brice, Camden. Faulkner, Pugh and Morgan feel about the matter. The result of my investigation convinces me that these senators are as jealous as they have ever been in behalf of the senate bill. believe that this congress will pass tariff bill and do not think
 the day of its passage is far distant"
