CRAZY WOMAN IN LION HOUSE.
When the Beasts Roar She Becomes Excited
Removed TO Hospital.

New York (SpcciaD Found raving
mad in the lion house of the Bronx 20
illogical gardens a young woman, we'll
dressed and of evident refinement, was
taken to the Harlem Hospital.
The woman was noticed in the lion
house shortly after noon, but her action
at first did not attract attention. Sud
denly, as feeding time grew nearer, the
animals began roaring, and the woman
became greatly excited.
At first she talked softly to herself
but soon she began screaming and talk
ing ncoherently The attendants ran 'tc
her and attempted to escort her from the
house. The instant they touched her she
struggled ficrccly and they were forced
to call for assistance The woman was
finally carried from the building and into
the office of the park.
An ambulance was summoned and one
from the Harlem Hospital finally re-
sponded In the meantime the woman
was struggling to free herself and it was
with great difficulty that the surgeon and
the Zoo attendants managed to get her
into the ambulance.
On the way to the hospital she be-
came calmer, but declined to give EeI

How War May De AYerted.

Paris (By Cable).-Official advices
from the Balkans show two distinct
signs that war will be averted at least
until spring.
First-The Bulgarian revolutionary
committee, through General Sarafotf,
has made overturcs to the Bulgarian
government, and unless hostilities are
actually undertaken within the next
fortnight all preparations will be sus
pended until spring The purpose OF
this, it is understood here, will be to
permit the decimating of the Turkish
forces through the winter and the COM
pleton of the preparations for a deci-
sive move early in the spring.
Second-M. Natchevics, Bulgaria /:
envoy at Constantinople, has agreed to
take up the negotiations. He at first
refused to act on the ground that Tur-
key gave no assurances Of desire fol
an adjustment. His present decision is
considered to indicate that Turkey has
given adequate assurances.
One of the chief features M. Match
evics will insist on during the negota,
tons is that Bulgaria shall have ma
iority OF the members and the presi-
dency OF the mixed commission having
charge of the pacific adjustment OF the
Macedonian questions.
The French government has asked
Turkey to indemnify NJ. Gaillac, a
French citizen OF Beirut, Syria, whose
shop was pilaged during the recent
disturbances at that place.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Naval Station In Cuba.

The purchase of lands at Guantana-
mo for the United States naval station
has been practically completed without
the necessity of resorting to condem-
nation proceedings.
The total cost of the land is $780,
900 Of which the United States has fur
nished $4,000. Of the 100000 appro-
priated, the other $4,000 will be used
for the payment of the preliminary ex-
oenses. The United States will pay
Cuba the balance, comprising the cost
involved in the purchase OF private
lands. later when an appropriation
makes funds available. The payments
made by the United States are all cred
tied as advance rent. 1t is expected
that the American Government will
shortly occupy the Guantanamo area,
raising the flag there.
The Bahia Hondu land purchases are
not being pushed at present. The cost
of these lands will be about $4,000.
The Cuba Eastern Railroad has pre-
pared a petition to the Navy Depart
ment asking that the company be per-
mitted to occupy about a mile OF the
station territory so as to enable the
railroad to carry out its intention re-
garding bay terminal. The Guanta-
namo Railroad will, it is expected, re-
quest a similar privilege if its rivals
petition be granted.

Navy Short OF Engineers.

The pressing need OF engineers in the
navy has compelled Secretary Moody
to utilize the services Of officers who
otherwise are ineligible for sea duty.
When the subject of the appointment
OF board of engineers to make voy-
age in the battleship Maine to Culebra
and report on the performance of her
boilers was under consideration it was
found that the service was without a
sufficient number of engineers doing
sea duty to perform the work: This
condition is due to the provisions OF
the Navy Personnel Bill, which ex-
empts from sea duty engineers trans
ferred to the line who were of or above
the rank OF commander. The new
board is composed OF Capt: J. A. B.
Smith, president; Commander w. B..
Bayley and Lieut.. Com. w. M. Parks.
Although the first two named officers
come within the scope OF the Personnel
law, the department finds no other alter
native but to order them to temporary
sea duty.

HOW WAR MAY BE AVERTED.
Insurgents Defeated in Long Fight and
Their Villages Burned.

Sofia, Bulgaria (By Cable).-Dis-
patches received here from revolution
airy headquarters assert that severe
fighting continues in the Struma val
ley.
The insurgents, who had surround
ed the Turkish post at the Predel Pass,
have been forced to retire.
Another long fight, which took place
between the villages of Obdlm and
Kremen, resulted in the defeat OF the III
surgents. The troops burned both vii
lagos.
The Turks were defeated at Belitza
September 20.
Much fighting is reported around
Melnik, but the results are not yet
known.
The war ministry has ordered out
the annual contingent Of recruits iGr
October ID, instead of at the beginning
of the year, as usual This step, though
quite constitutional, has occasioned
some surprise, considering the report
ed improvement in the general sltua-
ton.
While the conditions are undoubtedly
more hopeful, there is a strong belief
in many we'll informed quarters that
the Macedonian question is still very
threatening and can only be settled by
war. The Bulgarian government,
therefore, continues preparations Tor
eventualities.

DROWN IN LAKE SQUALL
Steamer Capsizcd After Being Wrecked
By the Wind.
TWELVE PERSONS ARE DROWNED.
The Vessel Was Struck by a Sudden Squal''
Which Blew Away the Upper Works Of the
Steamer-Soon Afterward the Vessel Iep'
sized aud Went to the Bottem-Soms man
aged to Seize Floating Wrecksge.

Marionette, Wis. (Special) during
a squal on Lake Michigan the steamer
J H. Hackley capsized and twelve per-
sons we're drowned.
The Goodrich Line steamer SheDoy-
gan rescued the other seven persons
who were on board the Hackley after
they had drifted all night in Green bay
clinging to bits of wreckage.
The Hackley was struck by the squall
when off Green Island, seven miles from
this port. The upper work of the YES
sci was blown away and the boat then
turned turtle and went down in deep
water.
AS the Hackley went to the bottom
those who could seized on floating pieces
of wreckage, while the women and three
or four of the men, failing to find an
object to which to cling, sank IN the
sea.
The waves were rolling high and sew
eral of those who saved themselves from
immediate death lost strength and sank
later.
1t was not until 7 o'clock A. M. that
the steamer Shcboygan sighted the help
less survivors and effected their rescue.
The officers of the Sheboygan feel
sure that they took aboard every per-
son aAoat, but some of the persons VINO
were rescued say that it is possible that
one or more of the eleven persons MISS
ing may have escaped death. This view
is rot given much credence by the sail
ors of the Sheboygan.
The Sheboygan ran into Fish Creek
when hope of rescuing other persons
seemed improbable. The rescued per-
sons were so exhausted from their strug-
giles that they were unable for some
time to tell anything about the wreck.
Those saved by the Sheboygan say
that with the crashing away of the up
per work all persons aboard the Hack
ley ran on deck. Hasty preparations Tor
a plunge into the water were begun, but
before any plans could be carried out
the boat listed, turned over and went
down like rock
Search is still being made for any per-
son who may have escaped death and
for the bodies of those who were lost.

PICKING GOING ON IN COTTON BELT
Effect of the Weather on Growing
HaryestS.

Washington Especially The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary OF crop con
ditions is as follows:
The temperature conditions OF the
week were generally favorable, although
cool nights were detrimental in the
South Atlantic, Eastern and Central Gull
States, while light to heavy frosts, tor
the most part causing no serious injury
occurred in the more northerly districts
eastward OF the Upper Missouri Val
ley. A marked feature of the week was
the absence of rain or the occurrence
of only very light showers over much
the greater part OF the country east o.
the Rocky Mountains, there being only
a few areas of comparatively Unite
extent in the Upper Mississippi valley,
Lake region and the coast districts OF
the Middle Atlantic States and South,
ern New England in which the rainfall
exceeded the average. Drouth contin-
ties in the Ohio Valley. and with in
creased severity in Tennessee and the
Central and West Gulf States. NO TN
favorable conditions are reported from
the Pacific Coast, although rain III
Southern California may posslbll y have
caused slight injury. Southern Arizona
and Southwestern New Mexico receiv'
cd unusually heavy rains for that re-
gion. more than two inches being re-
ported from several stations.
The principal corn States have ex'
perienced weather conditions eXcep'
tionally favorable for maturing late
corn, and, while frosts have been quite
general over the central and eastern
portions OF the corn belt, no material
damage is indicated. Probably less
than 20 per cent of the crop IN Iowa Is
unmatured, and, while the proportion
yet exposed to injury in South Dakota
Minnesota and Wisconsin is greater,
the immature will make good teed
Farther south only very small part OF
the crop is still soft. Cutting is gen.
eral in all sections, and some new corn
has been marketed in Southern Kansas
While the conditions have been tav'
orable for threshing spring wheat III the
spring wheat region, reports OF damp.
ness OF grain in shock, as a result OF
previous rains, continue. Harvest is
now completed on the North PACING
Coast and thrcshing far advanced.
Some tobacco remains to be cut in
Kentucky and Tennessee, where the late
planted has suffered much from droutl
but as a whole the crop is practically
housed.

HORRIBLE SCENE IS WITNESSED.
Train Strikes Merry Party Returning
From Family Reunion.

Philadelphia, Pa. (SpeciaD A merry
party, composed of about dozen per
sons, was run down by a passenger train
at Sharon Hill, killing five and injuring
three others.
The accident occurred in front of the
Sharon Hill station while the party was
waiting for a train There had been a
family reunion at the Farran home, and
several members of the Farran family
had accompanied the guests to the sta
ton. The Lamokin accommodation, for
which the party was waiting, usually
passes the station OH the fourth track.
This was known to some of the party,
and when the train was heard coming IN
the distance nearly everyone passed over
to the third or freight track. Before
anyone could give a warning the accom-
mediation train came rapidly on down
the third track and plowed into the
group.
The engineer tried to stop his train be-
fore it struck the party, but he was I'm.
able to do so until it had ran several
hundred feet past the station.
A horrible scene met the eyes OF the
passengers on the train and the train
crew. Under the wheels of the locomo..
tive and on the tracks on both sides OF
the train were scattered the dead and
injured They were quickly taken from
the tracks. The dead were terribly man
gled and those that had not been killed
we're removed to a nearby physicians
office.
Their injuries were of such a nature
that it was decided to bring them to this
city, and they were placed on the accom-
mediation train, which was still at the
station, and brought to hospital III
