the cage the plucky wrestler does not
hesitate to walk boldly up to the beast
and launch the tug Of war. The lion
usually shows its long, white teeth and
gives other exhibitions of an ugly tenn
per, yet it always is ready for the en-
counter. Rising on its hind legs, it
leaps toward the woman, landing its
fore paws on her shoulder with force
that staggers her and sometimes bears
her down upon her knees. Then the
struggle is ON in earnest. Back and
forth across the cage beast and woman
surge, with honors going shade either
way or, remaining about even. The
match sometimes lasts fifteen or twen-
ty minutes, at the end of which time
the then infuriated beast is dipped
over by a dextrous movement and
lands squarely on it's back in the center
of the cage. painting and with glaring
eyes.
The beast seems more than an even
match for the woman, but she shows
marvellous skill in handling it, and in
this way is able after firing bit to ex-
ecute little coup and outpointsher fe-
yocious opponent at

TEE GUN CLUBS WORK.
The Decoration day shoot of the Ak
ron Gun club was the largest and most
successful that has ever been held in
this city, and 100 shooters faced the
traps during the day. The shooters
represented the best in this city, Bar
berton, Canton, Massillon, Sharon,
Kent, Hudson and Cleveland.
Probably the most interesting event
of the day was the match in which
the prize was high grade gun. This
event was finally won by Barber, of
Hudson, who, with Egley, of Canton,
first shot 10 straight. The tie was shot
off at ten targets, and Barber again
broke ten straight, winnings the gun.
*The match for the cup donated by
the Akron club was won by n Cleve-
land team, with score of All. Akron
teams had won the cup twice before
with scores of 416 and 4O1, and men,
bers Of the Akron team are disappoint-

Owing to the threatening weather
only about 400 came out to see the
South End -Kirkwood game at Buch-
tel grounds Saturday The Kirkwoods
won through superior work ut the bat
and in tile field. and the South End
boys showed a disposition to make
errors Just when they would be most
costly. The Kirkwoods are now play
ing good ball and their supporters
claim they have good chance for
first place in the race. They play the
game all the time, pay strict attention
to the work in hand, and cut out the
kidding" and guying INDUCED in by
some of the other players. There were
no exceptional features and the gamo
was rather an ordinary affair. Both
teams showed the effect of playing
three games in two days and were
somewhat lacking in ginger.
Kirkwood got off in front and scored
two in the first Oh two hits, an error
and an out. They took a great liking
to Nickedemus' pitching, and found
his delivery for three runs in the fifth
and three in the sixth.
With lead of six runs
Douglass who pitched Fridays
game, went to second and Herroun
finished the game for Kirkwood. AL
though the South End boys found his
delivery for six hits and six runs he
kept them scattered and they were
ut no time dangerous. They failed
to score until the sixth, but hammered
the ball for two singles and a double,
which with two. outs netted two runs.
Errors by Herroun and Fitzgerald and
Singles by Brownell, Moon and Shenk
gave them three in the eighth, and
their last came in the NINTH on IL base
on balls, an out and an error by
Douglass.
The teams are just now shaping
themselves and beginning to play to-
gether, and better base ball should re.
suit although most Of the games play
ed SO far compare favorably with
the work of many paid teams.
Shenk for South Ends and Quarrie
or kirkwoods carried off the batting
honors, each getting three hits, while

Bfownell's bat in the eighth was per-
haps the best piece of fielding.

BAD WRECK ON b, DC o.
Two Killed, Forty-fve Iutured-All
Italian Immigrants.

Connellville, Pa, May 4.-TWo were
killed and forty-five injured, two prob
ably fatally, in bad head-on collision
between and emigrant train and fast
freight near lockwood on the Connells-
vile division Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad to-day. The two trains dash
ed towards each other on straight
stretch of track and this fact alone
averted what would have been the
worst wreck in the history of the road
The dead are two italian immigrants.
A neWsboy on the immigrant train and
an Italian immigrant are fatally injur-
ed. Forty-flve italian immigrants,
the majority of them men, were injured
but none of their injuries are serious
enough to warrant their removal to the
hospital.
Fire started several times, but was
extinguished before any damage was
done Both engines four coaches of the
passenger and three of the freight were
demolished by the wreck. The cause or
the wreck, as rumored among railroad
ers here, is that the freight was run
ming a lap on the passenger trains
time when the collision occurred, but
this has not been proven.

M,L4URIN OUT OF RACE.


Washington, May 4.-Under date of
May Senator MeLaurin of South Car
olina, has issued an address to the peo-
pie of South Carolina stating his posi-
ton on national questions. He asserts
his independence of thought and action,
and characterizes Senator Tillman as
the Acknowledged dictator of the dem
acratic machine of South Carolina
He says: "The suppression of free
speech and independence of action in
voting renders it impossible for any
self-respecting citizen no ding my views
to become a candidate in the democ attic
primary in South Carolina. The pri-
mary system in South Carolina has
been sacrificed upon the altar of parti-
sanship and personal malignity, and
has therefore become unpatriotie ana
useless and should be ignored and final
ly repudiated by our people with pur-
pose similar to my own-to look hope
fully to the results of fair and just
general election"

PRINCESS ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Daughter of Spanish Pretender Throyvs
HerseIf into the Tibcr.

Rome May 4-Don Carlos, the Span
ish pretender, has been summoned here
on account of the attempt of his daugh-
ter, Princess Beatrice de Berrone, to
commit suicide by throwing herself
into the River Tiber.
Princess Beatrice arrived at the Sis
tine Bridge richly attired in evening
dress and wearing her jewels. Before
throwing herself into the water she
made the sign of the cross. The flooded
river was flowing quickly and the prin-
cess was rescued with difficulty. She
was half dead when taken from the
water The princess refused to disclose
her identity and struggled again to-
throw herself into the river. She was
taken to a hospital, where she admitted
her name. She declared her motive to
have been jealousy of her husband, with
whom she had had a violent scene.
Princess Beatrice is now suffering
from fever. Princess Elvira, sister of
Princess Beatrice, ran away with a
painter named Folchi two years ago.
