CLEVELAND, O... June 7.— Three train ers attachedto an animal. show had thrill' ing experiences here to-day with their savage pets, and as- a. -result, one. man, the lion trainer, .Joseph -McPhee,- is. fa ta'.ly injured, with great holes in his ab domen, made by the teeth of a lion. The others injured are Herman AVedder, . whose right leg was badly crushed by. a bear, and Madame Morelli. whose right arm and side were lacerated by. a leopard.. The animals had travelled from Boston to this city,- and were surly and ugly. AMPUTATION MADE NECESSARY. AVedder entered the cage of a big bear, which received him with. a swipe of his immense paw, knocking. him to the floor, where the bear, pounced upon him and fastened his teeth in his right-leg, tearing off so large a chunk as to make neces sary, surgeons say, the amputation of the injured limb. ' ' A leopard leaped upon Mme. Morelh s shoulder and lacerated her right arm se verely. Madamo Morplli, was lying on- the lloor'when the attendants came to' her assistance, and with pikes drove the beast M'PIIEE PINNED TO FLOOR. The lion tamer, McPhee. was watching the transfer of^ the, lions from the car to their cage, and because they refused to move promptly, he entered the cage. He had hardly entered before a great beast leaped upon him, pinning;him;to thefloor. The iion placed his'great paws upon the fallen man's breast, and tore his riglit leg in a fearful manner, the tendons being pulled from tho bone. The efforts of the attendants to drive the lion off with pikes had no effect, and seemed only to infu riate him the more, for he quickly. pushed his big jaws and sharp teeth into Mc- Phee's abdomen, and when he released his hold the trainer's abdomen was torn wide onenr The .lion, was finally; driven off and McPhee removed from the cage.

'-".- '■'..', ;-■'■■ .The statements which; have been' pub lished during the p;ist week 'concerning _the Carnegie Library and Music ; Hall scheriie have been widely read and. much commented upon. There Is;. widespread satisfaction among all classes of people at tiie assurance that tho great, institu tion is now almost, a thing in.slglit. The statement; that the scheme; would be entirely, free from politics, and finan cial veriturings comes as a doubly wel come piece of news to many- who have contended so long that such would be the death of the whole proposition. And the • fact that tho representative citizens of this 'city, headed, by Mr. .John L..Wil liams, are pushing the; idea info a visible form, ,1b curing the most skeptical of any doubts.as to tho comparative certainty of the successof the enterprise. ■It is thought by Mr. B. F. Johnson,, who has all ; along been one. of the intensest workers; for the movement, that Mr. Car negie will be only too glad to allow the citizens to add to his generous offer; and, other things being equal,, that he will 6e glad, to; increase his gift to $150,000."' : 1 THE LETTER : TO , MR. . CARNEGIE. ; ..Mr. Johnson stated lastrnight that the letter to Mr. Carnegie, making: the. propo sition to him of combining the great libra ry and music hall, had about; been coiri pleted and definitely/ phrased, and that it would probably go on jits trip .across the Atlantic on Monday. An answer is ex pected, either by letter or by .cablegram, within the next two or. three weeks. There is hardly a -doubt; according to Mr. John son and others interested, that the reply .will be '.'-a one. . . r ;■■--:",•; NEDD OF THEHALL. - - The discussion of the:matter ; has re sulted in. the discovery on the part of th*» ;people~ cf how much a building on tfie plan projected is needed in. this city.; There isnow no hall inside the city limits that is capable of seating, comfortably, more than 2,000 people. In cases when a great convention gathers, or when great musi cal entertainments are -held— like that giv en ..yearly ; by -the Wednesday '_ Club— there is^no, auditorium that approaches the size requisite for handling the crowd."'. . . :* In .the case of Lyceum lectures, only a comparatively few of -the many of Richmond's citizens, .who would like to take advantage of tho course can attend. If; a hall three times as large could be procured, a crowd three times . as largo would attend, and the prices would be accordingly: lessened. The same: can be said , of the Wednesday Club's annual fes tival. , ' ; - ■ ; •; ■ V,The building of such a vast iissembly hall woiild attract conventions from all parts of the country, many of which, now pass Richmond over because of lack of a proper hall here. .'The hotel accommorLi tlonshere are now ample to accommodate any reasonable gathering that might come here. '■ . .-'■■' ' . " . THE LIBRARY FEATURE. The greater part of Richmond was in favor : . of -the • Carnegie : ] .ibrarj' from - the start, and, those; few who.were r opposed; opposed -it only on account of the neces sary .- mix-tip which they saw the scheme would have In politics/ And the fears of these people proved to lie well -srounrled. It is commonly reported by representative citizens ■ bf>. this - city that .politics alone prevented the buildinff ofthejibra ry here according, to the original propo sition of Mr. Carnegie. Up to the time of this new move, the; necessary, ordi nance lay dormant without even a re quest-from the Library Board of an, ap propriation from .the' Finance Committee. ■ Notice ; has .also been taken by citizens here how Atlanta, Which received- an of fer from Mr. . Carnegie about the: time that Richmond, got hers, has actually completed her building in every^letail; and has had it in running order,, In. full operation, for some months. -And this in spite of all the; objections .which: were raised. :. . : '■■:' . - ' - '- - '" : -- : .■'-' . ■- THE BUILDING ITSELF. - ■ ■ As . to -. the prQposeci; building, nothing definite has been decided. it is safetosay that it will be well worthy of the Oijmity rf the. city. It wi!l be cen trally located, strongly built, and either fire-proof or easy of exit in case- of fire. It will -contain a library section;- full and -complete. ■an immense assembly liall, a smaller hall,, capable of seating 400 . or 500 people, studios, cloak-rooms, commit tee-rooms, parlors arid private offices for every necessity of the; institution. The idea now is to erect such a building at a cost"of.?3oo,oCo. .; .; IfMr. : Carnegie writes or cables his as sent to" "' the Richmond citizens'.: proposi tion, . it is probable : that the scheme will be pushed through to .a completion at once, ani! without ; delay. The men .now at tho-helm are men vwhpido : nothing in a slov'cnly or half-way manner. ■":' And whether or. not Mr. Carnegie joins In* the building has been -promised,? and those who have promised it are -able to fulfill^ the pro;riise;to its fullest and hand somest" extent; Only, tho. library feature Willie left out if Mr. Carnegie withholds assent to the plans of the citizens. .
