SCARED BY A LIONS ROAR.
The King of Beasts Frightcns Small
Army of Pittsburgcrs.

PITTSBURG, Jan. "a full-grown lion
on his way to this city in the baggage
of the Pacific Express Company, broke out
of his cage at Johnstown, ninety miles
from Pittsburg, while the train was run
ming forty miles an hour The beast, known
as .'Wallick," is very savage, and is said
to have killed two keepers. At all events,
he soon put his keeper to flight out of one
end of the car, while the baggagemaster
went out the other end and climbed into
the engine, frightened almost to death.
Both doors were locked and stop was
made at way station and dispatches sent
to the Pittsburg police to gather UP an
army of men to help capture the lion when
they should arrive. The greater part of
the police force and about twenty-five oiti-
Zens, all armed with guns, axes, pitchforks,
ETC., went to the Union Station to helL nab
the man-eater. AS the train rolled into the
Union Station the lion gave one roar, which
caused the whole army of lion-hunters to
take to their heei5. After an hours work
from the outside of the through the
broken windows they managed to drive
the lion into his cage,'where he lay down
and allowed the door to be closed on him.
The amusing feature of the whole affair
was that while the crowd was waiting on
the train the police got an idea that the
whole affair was a big advertising fake, and
they pounced on Harry Davis, manager of
the Harris Museum, and took him to the
tied at sDavis's place. When the train ar
rived and the lion found to be at
large, the police were profnse in apologies

EUGENE SANDOW ROBBED.
His DiamOnd-Studded Watch, Worth
$4,000, and 500 in Cash stolen.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 6.-James Finn, Will
liam O'Brien and Edward Beck Eastern
crooks who succeeded in getting away with
valuables to the amount of $1,000 belonging
to the guests of the Paxton and Millard
hotels, were arrested to-day. The robbery
occurred on Friday night, but the valuables
were not missed until yesterday. The
goods stolen from the Paxton amounted to
$400 or $500, the loss being divided between
a half dozen different guests. At the Mil
lard, Eugene Sandow was the only victim
reported to have lost anything, his loss be-
ing heavier than the others combined. His
heaviest loss was a gold watch set with
diamonds, which was a present to him be-
fore he came to this country and which
he valued at $500. He also lost 500 in
cash. The only clew obtained of the rob-
bers was at the Millard. where two
strangers had come in late and registered,
paying for their room in advance. These
men disappeared early in the morning. Mr..
Sandow, who left for st. Paul last evening,
claimed he had fockEd his door before go
ing to bed, but he had found it unlocked
when he got up yesterday morning. At 3
o'clock this morning the police rounded up
the crooks. They were armed, but the Off
GERS got the drop on them. They submitted
quietly, but at the station made a desper-
ate effort to escape and the entire office
force was involved in a fight with them be-
fore they could be locked up.

SENATE PROGRAMME.
Nicaraguan Canal Bill and ApprOpH1r
ntions to BE COnsidered.


WASHINGTON, Jan 6.-The Senate Will
undoubtedly adjourn tomorrow soon after
the hour of meeting as a mark of respect
to Representative Post on Tuesday the
Nicaraguan canal bill will again be before
the Senate and the regular proceedings of
the work will begin with speech in sup
port of the measure by Senator Mitchell,
of Oregon. The friends of the canal bill are
hopeful that a vote may be reached some
time during the week, but whether it will
attain that important stage wiIL depend on
the persistence of the opposition and the
interference of the business of the ap-
preparations committee. The pension is the
only appropriation bill now before the Sem
ate, and 1t is not believed that its consider
alton will consume much time, but there is
probability that the urgent deficiency bill
will be reported during the week, and in
case it should be and an effort is made to
call it up, it is to be the basis for numerous
speeches on the appropriation for carrying
the income tax into effect. While the
opponents of the income tax generally dis
avow any intention to defeat the appropria-
ton. they openly confess their purpose of
using ii as a text for speeches the gen
eral policy of imposing such tax. The prob
abilities are, however, against any effort to
week.
1t is likely that two or three speeches will
be made against the Nicaraguan bill during
the week. and there are still others, so
far unannounced, to be made in its sup
port The advocates of the canal bill are
beginning to grow somewhat anxious to
secure a vote, they suspect an effort to
hold this off until it may be possible to
displace the bill entirely with some other
measure, or, If this be avoided and the bill
passed that it will reach the House too
late to secure consideration during the pres

KILLED HER HUSBAND
AND SERIOUSLY WOUNDED HER
NOTHER-IN-LAW WITH PISTOL.
Deed of Woman Who Was Crazed
by Interference in Her Family Af-
fairs-A West Virginia Outrage.

UTICA, n. Y, Jan. 6.-About three weeks
ago William Flint and his wife came to
this city from Bingnamton to reside with
Flints mother. Flint is about twenty-three
years of age, and his wife is ten years his
senior and the mother of two children by a
former husband. Flint married her at Bing-
hamton some six weeks ago This morning
Mrs. Flint arose at 1850 o'clock, and, proceed
ing downstairs, leveled q revolver at her
husband and fired four shots at him with
out previous warning. Three of the shots
took effect, and the man fell to the floor,
mortally wounded. Then the woman fired
two shots at Flint's mother one striking
her in the breast and the other in the arm.
Though seriously wounded the woman may
recover. Mrs. Flint says she was forced
to the deed because of the constant inter-
ference of her mother-in-law in the affairs
of the family. She was placed under ar
rest, but her mental condition is such that
it was deemed advisable by the authorities
to send her to the hospital.

CARLISLE BILL TO BE KILLED
SCHEME THAT MAY BE CARRIED
INTO EFFECT EARLY THIS WEEK.
Senator Hill Reported to Have Cur
rency Measure That May be Ac-
cepted and Finally Adopted.
pecial to the Indianapolis Journal.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.--Colonel Breckin-
ridge proposes to ''get even with all his
Kentucky enemies. He has already taken
the war path His first blow is aimed at
Senator Blackburn. OF all his enemies, and
they are numerous, Breckenridge hates
Blackburn most. During the trial of the
Breckinridge-P case Senator Black
burn wrote to Breckenridge, warning him
against saying anything in his testimony
that might be the least offensive to Mrs.
Luke Blackburn, the Senator's sister-in-
law. This letters was written with
Kentucky vein that left Breckenridge in no
doubt to the consequences if he disre-
garded the warning. He chose the safer
plan and did not disregard it. Breckenridge
is a venomous hater and staying fighter.
He threatens to 'get even with every man
who was active in his recent defeat, even
should it be necessary to make the Lexing-
ton congressional district as strongly Repub-
lican as it has hitherto been Democratic.
Breckenridge is "a poor man. His plan is
to obtain the financial sinews of his pro-
posed warfare by lecturing. His efforts in
that direction so far have been anything
but encouraging. However, Breckinridge
intends to stick to the lecture platform, hop
ing for better audiences in future.
He has already begun his work against
Blackburn. The Senator's home is in the
Lexington district and he has for years
had the united support of the Democrats
there. In fact, Breckenridge could never
get to Congress until Blackburn was made
Senator. The Blackburn influence in the
district has been dominant for years.
Breckinridge realizes that he cannot make
any headway against Blackburn within
the Democratic party of the district. His
scheme is to send as many Republicans
as possible to the next Legislature from
the Lexington congressional district. Black
burn, in his contest for reelection, natur-
ally depends largely the support of
his home district. There half dozen
candidates, some of them very popular
Democrats With a solid delegation at
his back from his home district Black
burn, together with his friends in other
districts, would have a decided advantage.
Breckenridge hopes to undermine Black
burns strength by electing a number of
Republicans from the district. Strange as
it may appear, Breckenridge still has
stanch friends and supporters in that
district. Men hitherto prominent in the
Democratic party are said to be willing
to follow Breckenridge in his campaign
against his enemies even to the extent
of their party fealty. Breckinridge says
he is a candidate for the Senate and he
will get in his work against Blackburn
under this guise The friends of Black
burn here say he will be able to foil
Breckenridge and carry his usual number
of friends into the Legislature. But Breck-
inridge's race of last fall shows that he
/ is still potent factor in that district.
