FIGHTS A LtONESS

Tanner from Europe Has a Desperate
Battle at Winsted, Conn.,
Mozart, a lion tanner just from Eu-
rope, was nearly killed the other nigh;
at the Nickel Plate circus at Winsted,
Conn, by Mad Lizzie, the ioness that
has killed eight men.
He had entered the cage Just as a
furious storm broke, and the deafening
thunder frightened and enraged the
animal. Three thousand people gasped
for breath, and half an acre of women
shrieked: "Oh!" as a thunderbolt
famed out of the storm like meteor.
The terrified people saw the man
cater leap ait the trainers throat. She
missed it, but sank her white teeth deep
into Mozart's arm. Screams and
shrieks, louder than the storm, rang
through the arena then applause
greeted the man of iron.
He sank an eightinch dagger, which
he carried, into the beast, which leaped
back to its corner as if shot from gun.
Then the attendants rushed In and the
man escaped.
Scores of women tainted, but the big
tanner came to time, pale and smiling.
Experts in lion bites said Mozart would
recover.

UPS AND DOWNS OF GOLD MINE.

AHO IT RrOuUht 30 Ceuta.

Sold for 1880, 600, But Fifteen Years
Ago 1t Brought 90 Cents.
The Diamond mine, near Helena,
Mont, probably holds the record of
such property for extremes Of low and
high prices at which it has been held.
1t was sold last year to a Scotch syndi-
cate for S., 100000 Fifteen years ago
Richard Jockey, Of Helena, bought the
mine for 90 cents. Mr.. Jockey did not
make the difference between these two
sums. The property which he bought
for 80 cents he sold for $4,000 and
thought he was making good bargain.
The Diamond mine has peculiar his
tory. 1t was discovered and located
about 80 years ago by David E. Folsom,
of White Sulphur Springs, and Charles
w. Cooke. Shortly after locating it
they sold it to Capt. Lewis and James
Reece, of Pittsburgh, who set up
small stamp mill, but did not make
a success Of it. The capitalists left and
the mine was neglected and abandoned,
taxes became delinquent, the assessors
valuation of the property was small
and the delinquent tax due was only
80 cents. Richard Jockey happened to
be in Ra6ersburg when he observed the
Diamond mine listed for sale He had
never seen the property, hut he paid the
so cents and secured possession of it.
Nothing was done on the mine for
number of years. ....
Then Tom Cooney took bond on It,
paid $1,000 to Mr.. Jockey and took
the property. Several partners were
associated with Mr.. Cooney, but there
was no success. Finally John S. Miller
bought out all other interests and
afterward sold out to the Scotch syndi-
cate. There is now on the property
the largest and most improved gold
mill in Montana.

TRAMPs At FREIGHT RATES

Iowa Attorney Evolves q Plan for
Getting Rid of Hobos. .....
c. D. Shull, Of Sioux City, La, thinks
the railroads should carry tramps at
the same rates and under the same con-
ditions as live stock. Every year vast
numbers of the hobos pass through that
section during July and August, os-
tensibly on their way from the south to
the harvest fields of North and South
Dakota, northern Iowa, and Nebraska,
Minnesota and Wisconsin. Later in the
season they drift back by the hundreds.
Their usual method is to steal passage
on freight trains or on the brake beams
Of passenger coaches. Gangs of from
20 or 80 to several hundred frequently
gather at q single point, seize a train
and force the crew to carry them over
the road. The police at the small towns
en- route are powerless to cope with
them, and bloody fights often take
place between them and the railroad
men. The situation has grown worse
year by year until the transportation
and support of the buns has become a
serious question. Mr.. Shull is we'll
known local lawyer, railroad attor-
ney, and is frequently compelled to
visit on business the smaller towns in
this and neighboring states. He has
had ample opportunity for studying
the problem, and after considerable de-
liberation says:
"In my opinion the roads would do
well to run tramp car on their regu-
lar freight trains during the harvest
season and charge the passengers about
the same rates as they would live stock.
All those who are really looking for
work will pay this nominal charge, and
I believe the number of others would
be so reduced that the train crews could
protect themselves against them"

Elephant Rescues a Child.

A striking example of the intelli-
gence Of elephants was seen in Middle
town, Conn.,, the other day during a
circus parade. A small child on Broad
street got away from its mother and
toddled out into the street. Before
anyone could realize what the child
was up to it was directly in front Of
the herd of elephants. Everyone ex-
pected to see the little one crushed
to death, but the leader of the herd
carefully picked the babe up with its
trunk and swung it out of danger.

GIRDLES THE EARTH.
Nicola Tesla Talks or His Latest
Wonderful Discovery.
Simultaneous Transmission OF Mes
sAGes by Means Of Earth's EleO-
trioal Currents to Any Point
ON Globe.

.N1COlU 4eSl6 mas JUST announced the
completion of his latest discovery-the
Simultaneous tranmission of mes
sages by means of the earth's electrical
currents TO as many scattered points
on the surface Of the globe as may be
desired. This he regards as by far his
greatest achievement. He will follow
his usual custom and lay his informa-
ton before the world Of science in his
own words and accompanied by his own
computations and conclusions. To q
few inttmates he gave thrilling dem
onstration of the operation of his device
for arresting and subjecting to control
under natural laws the electrical sub
stances in and about the earth. His lat
est invention, device or discovery is to
produce such disturbance of the cleo
tricity of the earth as can be felt
and noted simultaneously at all parts Of
the globe.
Tesla had his rooms in the laboratory
on Houston street darkened. From a
room adjoining the one in which he and
his visitors stood current was turned
on invisibly. A huge black disk hung
on frame about eight feet in diameter,
from the center of which protruded q
brass electrode seven inches in diam
eter. AS the group gazed at this the
apartment was filled with cracking
sound, which increased till it sounded
like the rattle of mushetry. Bright
flames shot from the electrode, not
from pole to pole, as in ordinary dem
onstrations- Like fiery serpents tho
cells of flame darted in graceful lines
around the disk. The longest sparks
were fully eight feet from the point
where they burst into dazzling bril-
liancy to the vanishing point There
electrical sparks were undoubtedly the
longest flashes of light ever produced
by similar means. .......
It seemed like terrific lightning dis
play, with the swapping, cracking
sound, displacing the reverberation Of
heavens artillery, and all remarked the
weird and ewing effect Of the exhibi-
ton. ..-e'..
"What are you doing?" was asked
Tesla.
II am producing" said be, IAN cleo
trcal disturbance of intense magni-
tude, which is continuing throughout
the entire earth. In other words, am
producing disturbance of the earth's
charge Of electricity which can be felt
to the uttermost parts Of the earth"
~And the result will be?~
~Ah," said Tesla, shat Is almost in
comprehensive. This electrical dis
turbance by means OF certain simple
instruments can be felt end appreci-
ated at any point Of tho globe. In this
way messages can be sent the entire
earth Ground and be taken UP at any
part of tho earth without the aid or in
terpention Of wires in any way at all. {"

the line to take up the thread OF con-
:! struction where it was dropped Ave
years ago and rush the project to COM
pletion. s. 49, IS s,sEs.,
The first and most Important step
will be taken ina few days by the law
firm of Lord, Day & Lord, who repre-
sent the English bondholders in this
country. at+4
The firm will file papers in foreclo-
sure against the tunnel property. It
will be sold and bid in by the stock
holders, and the decks will be legally
cleared for reorganization with a new
issue of bonds.
About 100000 has already been
spent in building the tunnel, and it is
| thought that 81 100000 more will COM
plete it.
The condition of the great tunnel
can be briefly given from the records.
When the work was suspended in the
spring of 1892 there were 3,O16 feet of
completed tunnel going east from the
shaft in Jersey City, 1000 feet of this
distance extending east of the middle
of the Hudson river, which divides the
states, and lying within the city and
state of New York. In addition there
were 40 feetscompleted westward from
the New York shaft at the foot of Nor
ton street, adjoining the Hoboken
ferry.
Around the open shafts at both ends
of the line wooden structures have
been erected, and watchmen have been
employed night and day. During these
five years of desertion water has ripped
into the tunnel and it is totally
swamped, but the engineers say it will
be matter of only about two weeks
to pump this out and have the ground
ready for the resumption of work.

BIG LENS IN DANGER.
Proposition to Build q Trolley Line
Near Yerkes' Telescope
Director Hale ana PROT. harvard
Alarmed Lest II Render Observa-
tory Of University d Chica-
go Useless.

Astronomy and electric railroads
threaten to clash near the shores OF
Lake Geneva, Wis. More sparks are
expected to flash when railroad mag
mates and the faculty at the Yerkes OBJ
servatory meet than will be seen on the
trolley that will run between Harvard
and the lake. The faculty has been on
the defensive for long time in the
matter OF railroads, in fact, ever since
the location of the big telescope was
proposed, but it is said that it has been
outwitted.
For some years there has been talk
of granting franchise for an electric
railroad between Harvard and Geneva
Lake, passing through the villages OF
Bigfoot, Walworth and Fontana to the
lake. Promoters have been interested
in the scheme, but concessions demand
ed have frustrated the plans.
When the Yerkes observatory was To-
Gated at Geneva Lake the scheme bios
somed out again and now the town
board of Harvard has granted a fran
chise extending over so years to cap
italist at home and others in Chicago.
The plans call for an electric railway
from Harvard to Geneva Lake, II miles.
It is at the Geneva Lake end of the
line that the astronomers have become
interested. The scheme has become
nightmare to Director Hale, and Prof.
Barnard sees visions of great labor and
the expenditure of 100000 come to
naught. He predicts disaster for the
expected accomplishments of the big
lens, and sees nothing but ruin facing
the score of delicate instruments scat
tered throughout the observatory as
soon as the trolley wire is strung along,
the highways to the lake. The arc
lights, which will be scattered all along
the line, will set the vistas of the far
off regions in the sky into too pale re-
lief for accurate observations, and as
for the effect of the vibrations caused
by the cars, they will play havoc with
the seismometers and kindred instru-
ments. a -.>-
Director Hale was appraised of some
plans last year and prepared to act. He
said that he did not believe there could
be people SO unmindful of the interests
of science as to attempt to run an cleo
trio railroad near the observatory. He
brought the matter before the trustees,
and a committee was appointed to in
vestigate. The railroad enterprise was
dropped and the faculty rested easier.
Then drastic measures were proposed!
to the effect that if a railroad was built
and was run near the observatory the
place would be shut tighter than a
drum to all outsiders. At present it is
open to visitors on certain days.
The faculty at the observatory and
the authorities at the University OF Chi
cago will not let any grass grow under
their feet, and will promptly set to-
work to see what can be done in the
matter.
