HORSE BREAKS INTO pARLoR,
Room in 4 Warrington
Hotel.

The proverbial> ''bull in the china
shop" was emulated about 4:30 o'clock
the other morning when a runaway
horse dashed into the ladies' parlor
Of the Ebbitt house, Washington, de-
stroying plate glass, chandeliers. fur
niture and bric-a-brac to the estimated
value of $40o. That more serious
damage did not result was due to the
fact that the horse was promptly got
under control.
The horse was one OF pair at
tached to the 'churry-up," or repair,
wagon Of q local street railway COM
pany, which had been called out to
repair the line. The team was fright
ened by frecrackers and ran away.
The one which did the damage be-
came separated from it, mate and
dashed into the ladies' entrance and
parlor Of the hotel, where it became
maddened by it's confinement.
The frightened hotel employees and
guests en- dishabille subdued the an
imal and led him into the street. The
railway company promptly agreed to
pay for the damages. Fortunately the
hour was extremely early and nobody
was hurt. - =, T. T.. ~

BATTLES WITH LION IN CAGE
Trainer at Philadelphia Shoots IN
Enraged Beast Before .
Large Crowd.

epringing suddenly upon Ricardo, his
trainer, Wallace, the lion of the
"Anglo-American School OF Zoology"
at Woodside park, Philadelphia, caught
the man by the left arm and would
have killed him but for the prompt ac-
ton on the part of Ricardo and the at
tendants.
No exhibition had been given with
the lion since the show had come from
Chester several days ago. The heat
had irritated the big animal and had
made his ugly temper even worse than
it is ordinarily. he was restive and
hard to control. No one except Ricardo
would 60 near the brute.
Every afternoon the trainer en-
tered the cage to give Wallace his daily
exercise. Ricardo went into the cage
about four o'clock in the afternoon for
q drill with the lion. He had scarcely
entered when Wallace sprang at him
and caught him by the left arm below
the elbow. The lion bit him second
time in the lower part of the arm.
AS he did so Ricardo sh hot at him with
the revolver which he was carrying in
his right hand. He missed but the sh OF
scared the lion and he released the
trainer. Attendants of the show, rum
ming up, kept the big brute in one cor
ner of the cage while others dragged
Ricardo out through the door.
His left arm was lacerated and the
flesh torn from the bones. The arm
began to swell at once, and Ricardo
was taken in a hurry to. the Presby-
terian hospital. After having the
wounds treated and dressed the trainer
returned to the show. Hundreds of ex-
cited people witnessed the attacks.

GUN CARRIAGE CONTROVERSY,
nnEton and Wilson Referred to
Board Of Ordnance. G-5,

The controversy on disappearing
gun carriages which was waged so
6ercely between Gen. Miles and Gen.
Burlington, chief of ordnance and
Gen. Wilson. army chief of engineers,
has been carried to the board or ord
nance and Notifications. Gen. Miles
In a communication to the secretary
of war last October called attention
to what he believed was fatal and
costly error of this government in
building SO many expensive disappear
ing gun carriages as mounts for the
big guns of our coast defense. he
called attention to the practice Of
foreign governments who maintain
similar Notifications. The disappear
ing gun carriage system was prac-
tically abandoned abroad, and he be-
ieved that this government is build
ing too many such types of mounts.
His position in the matter was COM
bated by Gen. Burlington and Gen.
Wilson, and good deal of volumin-
Gus and somewhat spicy official cor
respondence was exchanged. The
fight came out in Z hearing before .
senate subcommittee on appropria-
tiohs, which had charge OF the an
nual Notifications bill and there was
a threatened open rupture between
headquarters of the army and the
army ordnance office of the chief of
engineers. The conflict was averted
by Secretary Root, who sent for the
officers and insisted that the contro-
versy should be conducted on strictly
technical lines.
The question raised by Gen. Miles
has now been referred to the board of
ordnance and Notifications, of which
Gen. Miles is president and Gems. Will
son and Burlington are members. The
impression prevails that the two lat
ter will agree with the main points
named by Gen. Miles and that the
board will sustain his original po-
sition.

morbid crowd which is drawn to such q
place by uncanny curiosity, you will
find that each corpse is anxiously
scanned by numbers of people, each of
whom is seeking q missing friend or
relative. At the most each body can
furnish the key to only zone mystery.
Then what of the scores, ay, the hun
dreds of others?'
After a short pause, he continued:
mo; murder will not out-at least
not when the criminal is what might
call professional, man of genius in
his vocation, educated, intelligent, dis
passionate, scientific. Fortunately for
the reputation of the detective, anna
teur and professional, the genius in the
criminal line is necessarily of modest
and retiring disposition. He cannot
call the public attention to his ingenu-
ity and skill; he cannot puff his achieve
ments in the daily press. Not only are
his masterpieces unsigned, but they re-
main forever unheard of. The detec-
tive is known only by his successes;
the criminals reputation is based sole
ly upon his failures.''
DR.. Murdock delivered this parting
shot with the cool deliberateness which
was characteristic of the man. The in
solent irony of his words was empha-
sized by the calmness of his bearing.
II say, doctor,'' laughed Sprague,
"you have missed your vocation. You
should have adopted the profession of
scientific criminal yourself. You seem
to possess the theory of the science as
it is, and little experience would no
doubt have made you an adept in the
practice as WELL"
A look of mild amusement passed
over Murdock's countenance.
"Perhaps you are right, Mr.. Sprague.
At any rate, think may affirm, with
out oyerweening conceit, that if I had
followed the course you suggest, I
could have prepared for your friend
Mr.. Sturgis some pretty little problems
on which to sharpen his wits. I feel
that I could have been an artist as we'll
as scientist in that line"
"You might console yourself by writ
ing an interesting and valuable book,
under some such title as Hints to the
Young CRIMINAL or Crime as Fine
Art At all events, your criminals Of
genius have stanch advocate in you.
But what on earth have the detectives
done to you to call forth this whole
sale yitueration?"
Nothing. But, as disinterested OBJ
server, like to see fair play. If am
mistaken in my estima tion of the mod
ern detective, am open to conviction.
I have $4,000 to wager against 500 that
I can pick up any daily paper and from
it's columns select an unsolved riddle,
to which no detective on the face of the
earth can give the answer. Have I any
taker, gentlemen"
AS he spoke, his eyes met Sturgis' and
suddenly seemed to fash with an earn
est defiance, which instantly melted in
to the calm, cynical smile of the man
of the world.
"Done," said Sturgis, quietly.
"Very we'll, Mr.. Sturgis,'' observed
DR.. Murdock, indifferently. II shall
con6ne myself to the columns of your
own newspaper for the selection of the
problem upon which you are to work.
"And," he added, with a supercilious
smile, "you are at liberty to fix the
