LION Aor AT WHITE CITY.
Weedon's Performance the Eclipse of
 the Most Sensational

Weedon's Performance the Eclipse of the Most Sensational. People who saw the wonderful per- formance of Professor Herman Wee don's ferocious troupe of lions at the White City yesterday dd so with bated breath. From the time he enters the cage with the beasts there is not a mo- ment that is not startlingly sensational, and some are even extremely so. One turns his head invoIuntarily at times, as if to catch his breath, so intense is the act.
 The leaping of the tiger-lion hybrid Prince" through an eighteen-inch-d di- ameter hoop is certainly a remarkable act With the great lion "Sowton" Weedon seems to be able to do almost anything. He puts his head between the jaws, folds the forelegs of the beast about his neck and with his fingers un- sheaths the terrible claws that at any moment might tear him to pieces.
 What Professor Weedon has said of the ferociousness of the lioness Mad anne was well proven yesterday. He had several tough battles with her, but conquered her each time The climax of the performance, in which the beasts are driven leaping about the stage at the rapid fire of a revolver and Profess sor Weedon's sudden escape through a narrow gate, is the eclipse of the sensa- tional
 One hundred dollars is offered to any lady who will enter the cage during the performance, One has already volun- teered, and, if she does not back out, her appearance will be announced later,
 Ask for Specks special ticket bar gains at the gate. They are a bargain, indeed.
 At the Savin Rock theater this week the show is considered the best thus far of the season. It is a high-class vaudeville and headed by J. Francis DoQlsYs

Bailey had purchased a derby hat at Noonan's and suit of dark clothing at Alexanders He had left his old clothing at Alexander's, saying that he would shortly return for it. Chief Inglis found no bloodstains on the clothing, but will subject them to a microscopical examination.

 WOOIf Levy--Fined for Pool Selling Cove Hotel Man HeId--Judge UlIman Will Preside Over City Court Cases
 To-day.
 Springfield, July 2s-Mrs. Mary F. Strong, of 33 Prospect street, against whom a suit has been brought in the Connecticut courts to recover $5,000 for relics which she is alleged to have talk en from haunted house" In Wood mont, Conn, has returned to Springfield indignant at the charges against her and declaring that the suit is scheme planned by "a cheap lawyer"
 She declared that on the day in July, 1901, when she visited the house with a party of seventeen or eighteen children she did not stay in the house five min utes, and that it had nothing in it but heaps of rubbish and refuse, which made the house a disgusting place to go through. Although believing that she could successfully bring a lawsuit for libel against the plaintiffs in the case, Mrs. Strong declares that, on the advice of her friends and of her own in- clination, she would avoid further noto- riety by refraining to do so.
 "One child found something in a heap of rubbish" Mrs Strong said, land suppose the other children wanted other small objects to take away as souvenirs. There was literally nothing in the house of any value. It is an old ramshackle affair. There was no skeleton and no relics I never was at Woodmont but two weeks iH my life"
 Mrs. Strong is the widow of Judson Strong who at the time of his death was a prominent Springfield real estate dealer, She said that MT. Strong laugh ed frequently about the suit against her, and thought it of so little conse- quence that she was highly amused by it. She called the statements of the plaintiffc downright lies, and declared that there were not half a dozen arti- cles taken from the house by the chill dren under her care.

CASES BEFORE THE CITY COURT

CASES BEFORE THE CITY COURT. In the city court yesterday morning
 the charge of idleness against Harry Bernstein was nolled by Judge Mathew son. This is the young man who the To- cal police thought was wanted in New
 York city.
 Joseph Sullivan, charged with drunk
 enness and breach of the peace, had his case continued until July 30. John Rafter was before the court on
 a charge of not supporting his family. Rafter is a strapping big fellow, and
 his honor said that he ought to be
 ashamed of himself for not caring for
 his family.
 Why don't you work you're a big, healthy fellow?" said Judge Mathew-n son. T dol but don't keep the jobs,' re- piled the prisoner.
 Why don't you?" asked his honor.
 Because I cannot get up in the morn ing-I oversleep," said Rafter, and the court attendants smiled. Sixty days in jail and execution sus- pended until December 12, under the care of the probation officer" said the judge.
 Morris Snilovitz and Joseph Husinsky charged with mutual breach of the peace. Both cases were nolled on pay ment of costs.

A QUESTION or TRANSFERRING

A QUESTION OF TRANsFERENCE
 The question whether liquor license can be transferred from one man to an- other without the consent of the licen- see seems to be question that is likely to reach the courts soon
 D. Lombardi, of 194 Wallace street, who runs a saloon there, has consulted Attorney J. L. Gilson with reference to transfer of his license to one G. Germi by the Weibel Brewing com pany
 It appears that for some years Lom- bardi has had arrangements with the Weibel Brewing company whereby the license stood in hls name, but the Wei bel company put in men to run the place and also gave bond for the license to protect Lombardi.
 This agreement was kept, it is said. up to a few weeks ago, when the Weibel company, it is alleged, walked into the county commissioners olive and had the license transferred without notify ing Lombardi, in whose name it was Indue out.
 Since the limit to the number of sa- looms wat put on throughout the city the place of Lombardis has become a faVorite one, and it is asserted the right to do business is worth $500 alone. The cost of the license is but s40O, but the fact that the place can be rented for a saloon is said to be worth $500 more and that several breweries had stated they would be willing to pay that much for the privilege of having their beer dis pensed in the place.
 The county commissioners claim that any one can get license transferred without consent of the licensee, provld- ed, of course, there is no attachment against it. The statutes appear to bear them out in this assertion, for no decis- ion on any case of similar ciroum- stance shas ever been decided by the courts.
