pany now exhibiting at Martnsburg,
W. Va, died in q hospital yesterday
evening rs the result Of wounds inflicted
by Sultan, one OF his lions, while he
was putting his animals TIL ough their
performance Wednesday night. The
lion attacked Clark near the end OF the
performance, in the presence of large
audience, aud dragged him around the
cage fifteen minutes before he could be
rescued by attaches Of the show. The
big audience was Mortified, and rushed
from the tent in panic. The hon was
finally driven from Clark with iron
rods, after it had bitten him on the
shoulder and legs and had otherwise
mauicd him. The lion that killed
Clark is said TO be from the Hagenbeck
mcnagrrie, and has killed three other
men during the last few years, besides
wounding a dozen. Clark carried big
revolver with him into the cage and
tried to kill the lion when attacked, but

STRIKE VIRTUALLY ENDED.
Terms Of settlement Tentatively Accept
ed In Greater New York this Morning.

New York, Nov. 11.-New York g
strike OF express drivers and helpers is
practically atsan end. Terms of settle
ment were tentatively accepted early
today by the men who are out in
Greater New York. II the New Jersey
men accept the same peace proposition
at meeting called for this. afternoon,
all will return to work Monday morn
ing. The vote of the New York men
TO end the strike was brought about
largely through the efforts OF Mayor
Gaynor and President Towne, Of the
Merchants Association. Through them
an offer was secured from the ex-
press companies, agreeing TO take back
all old employees regardless OF whether
or not they have joined the union, and
to consult with committees OF the en-
ployes as to wages and hours, what
ever terms decided upon to become
effective December /. The express
companies reserved only the right to
refuse to reinstate an employees who
have engaged in violence during the
strike.
This proposition was submitted at q
secret mass meeting OF the strikers and
shortly after midnight was accepted by
two-thirds vote. William II. Ash,
ton, general organizer Of the Fedora.
ton OF Labor and leader OF the strike,
declared that the offer amounted tc
virtually recognition of the union
which was the only point that the
strikers had refused to submit to arbi-
tration. It was largely on his recon-
mendation that the terms we're &C,
cepted.
1t Is believed that the New Jersey
strikers also will accept the PROPOSE
ton.
This action ON the part OF the ex'
press strikers, however, in no way al
fects the strike of the taxicab chauft-
eurs. The employees OF two of the
larger taxicab companies are still out,
and declare they will continue on strike
for recognition OF their union and for
the acceptance OF their new wage scale.

THOSE ANESDM ESTS.

With returns from forty-fYe OF the
100 counties and from fourteen OF the
twenty cities in Virginia, some OF them
complete and some reported only as to
maiorities the fate OF the amendments
to the constitution allowing treasurers
and commissioners OF the revenue to
succeed themselves still hangs in the
balance.
Unquestionably, the extension OF the
sessions OF the legislature and the
amendment regarding the reading Of
bills have been derisively defeated.
The official returns rs to the amend
ments began coming to the Office
Of the secretary OF the commonwealth
yesterday, but probably two weeks will
eIapse before all counties and cities
have reported.
Following are the figures so far re-
ported;
Amendment extending Legislative
