the proposed eleven miles extension and

New YORK, Jan. 3.-Mme. Macart,
wife of the animal trainer, had o narrow
escape from death lsat night at the Gar.
den theater. Her peril appeared just
after the curtain had been rung up in
the first act OF Little Christopher, and
for time it looked as though the panic
behind the scenes would communicate
itself to the audience. The cause of the
trouble was the baboon Baba. The ami
NAL is very fond of Mr.. Macart, but
hates Mrs. Macart with equal fervor.
His trainer CHANGED TO leave the door OF
Babs's cage open just before going ON
the stage. AZ soon as MacaTt mad lett
the room the animal sprang at the
woman, and grasping her about the
neck with his powerful arms. attempted
to etrangle her. With it's long, sharp
teeth the animal tried to tear her throat,
scratching like demon with its claws.
The woman's screams brought her hus-
band to the rescue. He seized the
baboon and tore it away from his wife'e
throat. The screams had been heard on
the etage, also by some Of the audience
in the front rows, but the house was
soon reassured and the performance

Sentiment runs high. and much in
dignation is aroused towards the
parent. 1t is a rare occurrence for one
at this age to take his own life, and the
conclusion was that the boy was OF an
extremely sensitive temperament. The
affair has caused decided sensation
in the town OF Windsor and some Of
their neighbors are loud in their de-
mands for an investigation. Mr.. Hall
bears good reputation and his friends
scout the idea that cruelty drove his son
to suicide. The lad is said to have been
very bright for his years.

$500 he discovered that Wyckof was in
his debt ON account OF real eetate trsns-
actions in California.
The testimony before Civil Justice
Bolte brought out the fact that General
La Grange had been paying enormous
interest for tina use OF the money he had
borrowed of Wyckof. He declares
that between 1887 and 1898 he
borrowed about $500 from Wyck-
off, in Gums which at no time
amounted to more than $500. He
says he had to pay Wyckof 60 per cent
on scme of the loans and 240 per cent on
others. For all of these loans he gave Sc
curity on property in Oregon and Califor-,
MIA. Wyckoff at the trial protested that
the money he mad taken from La Grange
over the amount of the original loans
had not been in the form of interest but
bonus and commission he earned by
obtaining the money from his brother
in Montclair.
Justice Bolse'e decision holds that
Wyckof owed General La Grande $3.50
on real estate transactions In the west.
Wyckof has appealed the case. Great
surprise was manifested among lawyers
in the court room that General La
Grange. who il a LAWYER, should have
allowed himself to be bled by Wyckoff in
such an ontrsgeous manner. General La
Grange has long and intsrestlng war
record, and in 1866 came within four
votes OF being elected lieutenant-gover-
nor OF Wisconsin. He 10 an active Re-

LIVELY LEGISLATION.
EXCITING SCENE IN THE ASSEM-.
BLY, AT SOFIA.
The Lie Passed in Debate and Pistols
Drawn, but as Usual Nobody
Was Hurt.

VIENNA. Jan. 3.-There Ia consider
able comment here regarding the almost
unprecedented scene in the eobranje, or
national assembly, at Sofia, Friday last,
December 28th. and early Saturday
morning. During the debate on the
credit of 50,000.000 francs asked for by
the government for the purpose of sup
pressing brigandage, M. Dosseff. eppo.
sition leader. declared brigandage no
longer existed in Bulgaria and Premier
M. Stiloff asked for this money for the
purpose OF establishing a system of
political espionage. An uprosr followed,
the supporters of the government de-
nouncing the assertion of the opposition
leader, and M. Dossef replying with
strong expressions rejecting upon the
ministers. This caused Stiloff to ex-
claim:
you are liar and slanderer." This
served to bring matters to the most In.
tense pitch OF excitement. All the
deputies sprang to their feet and hurled
insults at each other, while M. Dosseff
continued his attack upon the govern
msnt. Finally the president of the
eobranje, DR.. Theodorof, announced
M. Dosseff's expulsion from the
chamber for the remainder of
the session and directed the ushers to
remove him from the precincts OF the
house. The liberals replied to this or.
der with Kisses and with the members
Of the opposition grouped about mir, !;
M. Dossef struck at the ushers and beat
them off. but not until some OF the dep.
uties had drawn reyolvers. During this
exciting acene members Withdrew and
left the liberals in possession OF the
house.
After an hours interval sitting was
resumed at midnight. The opposition
protested against the action of the gov.
eminent. declaring that the scene was
caused by M. Stiloff calling M. Dossoff q
liar and slanderer, and the latter opposi-
tion left the house in body in order, as
they claimed, to avoid witnessing fur.
ther aots OF injustice to the country and
its representatives. During the absence
of the opposition deputies the govern
mont discussed and adopted the political
amnesty bill, including the propositions
OF the grant amnesty TO Zankoff and
Karsveloff. After the measure had been
adopted the opposition returned to the
sobranie.
