FRIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE WITH WILD BEftSTS
Trainer ; McPhee
Wedder's Leg Crushed by a Bear—Ma
dame Morelli Torn by a Leopard.
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.

PROPOSITiON FROM | THE ?. CITIZENS

TO-MORROW.
A- CABLE REPLY BEFORE JULY;
Hardly a Doubt That It Will Be a
Satisfactory One.
HE 'SVII/L BE OXLY .TOO GtiAJD.
Such the Belief of the .Prominent
Men Who Are Starting the Corres
pondence With Mr. Carnegie— >"e« id
of the Hall Brought Ont in Diacns
slon. of the Proposition—^Library
-.Feat-ares,-: ".-..' '-".- '■'..', „;-■'■■
.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. .; .;

while the admirers of Senator Scott' want
ed. Hon. R; E. Smith, of McDowell. The

Caldwell .'followers ;- urged Colonel Fuller
forward and landed; h:m • alongside "of Mr.
Smith, and. both chairmen -asked, the

sure, ana no time was lost in getting Into
action.. Revolvers, .; knives, and- clubs
were freely iiserl.
