St. Lons April fair grounds wns yesterday tho scene nf an unusually distressing and peculiar accident. John J. Jennings, n reporter on the Post-Dispatch, wus sent by his city editor to write a lengthy notice about the winter quarters of W. W. Cole's ciicus, which arc at the grounds, and in the course of an interview with George Conkling, the lion tamer, Jennings ventured tho assertion that thcro was no danger nttaehing to Mr. Conkling's apparently thrilling appearance in the midst of tho caged lions. In substantiating his assertion he declared his willingness to go into tho den, providing Mr. t'uiii.liug made iho first entrance. At first tho lion tamer laughed at Jennings' proposition, but tho rcjKiiter bantered him so much about it tiiat hu at last agreed to let him go into the cage. Jennings is tho same rash little geiitlomnn who allowed llerrinnn, the magician, to file him out of a (Million across the auditorium of the Grand Opera-house into u net three joins ago. Tho cannon tiick was done during a perturnrince, ami tho primalist had a very narrow from breaking hi- iiovit. Yestenlay, ('oakling, ul.o hail boon handling lions since 18iH, and who has two new lions in the den, made hi first ciiirau'ec, whipped the animals up, ami altor putting them through their paces, came out. He "told Jennings that tlieie was danger with tho two new lions, and tried to dissuade him from going in, but the reporter was rashly ntulihiiru about I he thing, and armed with Conkling' s sniiul ran hide, wont (Mildly into the don. Coi kliug stood at the i ae doors and lied the animals closely, ready, at a moment, to run in to the newspaper nniu iiiisisuiiioe. The linns lay close to the iWlrs of the rime hs Jennings gfttod it th- center, mid divided their attention lietwo u t ho reporter it ml Conkling. They .Towlod fiereclv, nml gl.ti od at tho but Jennings shook ihc law hide .oa.uiI tliem, and at last touched Sandy, uo of the old lions, on t he rump, whetoat ho ran across the stasc, followed by two of the other., and the three animals weio jumping about obeying tho reporter's o -1 of "ititid, leaping over he whip ami h nig down as cleverly as shey could do lor Conkling himself. The iioii tamer said nothing, but hud his hand in the cage door, watching Jennings and the animals as they fhifted positions. The .opotler had been in the cage probably two minutes, when he started to put "George," (he second of tho old lions, through the i riek of jumping over his back whilo lie leaned forward. He touched tho animal's I'm epaws with the whip just as Conkling dues, and over tho reporter's back went old "George." Ono of tho now lions just put into the cago this winter, in attempting to follow George, knocked Jennings down, lie fell toward a corner of the stage, in which tho second new lion Unit had refused to tako part in the amateur lion tamer's performance had remained lying throughout tho wliolo time. " Lo k out!" shouted Conkling, dashing into the cage and making a divo for tho prostrate newspaper man. Ho was too late, however. Tho lion's claws fell on the top of Jennings' head, and toro nway almost tho entiro scalp, A second stroke toro the reporter's shoulder open, and, as Conkling dragged him away, the lion's claws woro fastened in the shoo of his left foot, and toro tho covering off. Conkling had tho palm of his right hand opened by ono of the animal's olaws. Thero was tho greatest uproar in the cago for a few minutes, the lions roaring and rushing about while Conkling thrust Jennings through the cage door to two assistants, and remained behiud to belabor tho animals into quiet with a short bur of iron. Jennings was tsikon from tho ground and tho physicians fear that ho is Bt'utrtlly injured. Great indignation prevails among tho journalist's friends who heard of tho accident, and thero is talk of having Conkling arrested, first, for having allowed Jennings to expose himsolf to such danger, and in the second placo for not telling Jennings that the lion that' injured him was bad, and is always kept chained in a corner of tho cage. This latter is a faot. Conkling himsolf nover ventures within reach of this lion. Ho is, thorcforo, to blame for allowing Jennings to risk his life iu tho rash manner in which ho did.
