sporting proclivites made n trip in the
Wisconsin piueries. where he captured an
eagle OF the bald-head species. Tho bird
was an unusually large one and had
temper that was beyond all controlling.
He was placed in "A stout wire cage and
gwen quarters in the apartments oil his
captors, but his shrieking and screaming
made it SO unpleasant for the neighbors
that it was finally decided that he must
go elsewhere.

the bird was christened. ever since it was
brought to the city. Yesterday Harris
was told to send for the bird and an ex-
pressman was hastily dispatched to bring
in the cage. "Van," meantime, had been
placed in n wooden box, and in this he
was removed to his future home.
Harris was taking dinner in his fiat up
stairs when the bird arrived. and he
ordered his porter, Henry Paul, to bring
the box up. While Harris was finishing
his meal Paul became curious and tore
away a part OF the covering of tho prison.
Instantly there was pandemonium. Van"
pushed his powerful body through the
opening and selling the porter's hand in
his talons, cssaycd to rise with his
prey toward the ceiling. Paul was terri

being whirled about the room. Har-
ris took in the situation at one glance,
and jumping up ne aimed a terrific blow
| at the circling bird. Vans head shot
out and Harris fingers were caught in his
vicc-lko beak. The screaming brought
| Mrs. Harris from the kitchen. All she
| could mako out was some dark form
swirling about in mid-air, whiie two hui
man bodies were beng dragged around
tho room. Chairs had been overturned
and the dining table was a wreck. Mrs.
| Harris grasped broom and with single
blow laid the eagle on the floor. Before
it could recover she had pIuckily stuffed
it back in the box and clapped the cover
down, after which it was removed TO the
| saloon.

SAD INDEED.
A Brave Nurse Lost Her Life Trying to
Save "a Cripple.

CLEVELAND, Feb. AT the coroner's
investigation to-day of the Deaconess
home holocaust in which four persons
lost their lives yesterday, Miss Anna Som
mers, acting matron. testified that an eX-
plosion took place, preceding the fire. The
entire house was wrapped in flames and
smoke instantly. Three men had been
lettering around the house several days.
When the fire broke out she rushed to the
front door and found the same men in
the yard. They paid no attention to her
frantic appeals for assistance in getting
out the patients.
The police are working on the theory
that the fire had an incendiary origin.
The burned building was without lire es-
capes, in direct violation of the state law.
William Allmeyer was strapped to his
bed, being under treatment for broken
hip. Minnie Banner. the brave nurse,
was endeavoring to loosen the straps
which bound Allmeyer when she was
overcome by the smoke and lost her life.

Great Crowd Bright Sunshine-M and
 Enjoyment-Great Success.
 Beautiful Lakeview, Birmingham pie turesque summer resort. was opened to the public yesterday afternoon with great eclat. There was a perfect out pouring of the people. Well-dressed men and women and happy children thronged the park, the hillside and the pavilion. Good humor was everywhere apparent and all were bent on few hours of in- nocent recreation. The sunshine glanced on the waters of the lake and turned the white of the maple leaves up to the sun. The bracing air was as invigorating as wine cooled with ice.
 The United States flag noated from the pavilion, and Commodore Connolly had his house decorated with United States flag and also the green flag of Erin. The trains handled the large crowd with ease. Each train had three or four coaches, and was run every fifteen minutes. The new "Y" at the lake expedited the hand- ling of trains A sacred concert was given in the pavilion by the Ideal Opera company. MT. Moody. formerly of the Age Herald, was in the box office. Great improvements have been made at Lake view, and it is now the ideal summer recort

Hon. Samuel Gompers of Now York arrived in this city last night at 1920 o'clock over the Southern from Atlanta and was met at the union depot by d com mittee from the several trades organiza- tions and escorted 10 the Florence ho- tel, where rooms had been secured for him in advance.
 The following gcntler en comprised the committee: J. IT. r. Moscley, Typo- graphical union: T. r.. Tibhs painters and decorators, J. s. Acton. machinisls; A. H. Motherwcl, blacksmiths, and ]. Sorsby, iron mouldcrs.
 MT. Gompers. after a brief rest, was seen by an Age Herald reporter and rec ognized cordially, the two having met at the convention of the American Fed eration of Labor held in this city in De- cember. 1892, when MT. Gompers had the honor of occupying the office of prcsi- dent of that body.

of this country should not favor the free coinage of silver unless it can be done by an international agreement, which I think is very doubtful now. The worlds production of silver has in- creased enormously since 1851. The average production per annum from 1851 to 1855 was 13,S0000O ounces. The pro duction last year is estimated by the Financial Chronicle at Al, 100000 ounces. From 1851 to 1855 the average annual production of gold was 5,595,0 ounces, and for last year it is estimated by the Chronicle at S,S20, ,000 ounces. This shows that the increase in the production of silver has already outstripped that of gold; consequently the price of silver, like the prices of iron, copper, etc., was bound to decline.
 ''I think it would be a credit to the in- telligence of the south to have the sound money convention to be held in Memphis on the 23d instant a great success. Sec retary Carlisles attendance ought to in- sure large gathering.
