i
A Blood-Curdling Story Come3 From
. -South Africa.
l.toni, Leopards, Elephant I, Baboons,
Released from a Menagerie, Kill,
Malm nnd Devour Att endant.
Mail advices recieved in Lo.idon from ICim
berly, South Africa, tell of an awful occur
rence tberaat midnight on Juno 1 last. Some
vicious person or persons opened the doors of
the capes in Fillis's menagerie containing the
wild animals and set them all free. The most
terrible scenes followed. Four attendants
sleeping on the premi es were mangled be-
yond recognition, being actually lorn li
from limb, bitten and cashed in the m
run
most
sit'kenlne manner, tvhiln the entire nomiln.
lation witbin a tadiusof a mile was aroused
by the roar.ng of iho'lions, the trumpeting ot
the elephanU, the growls nnd shrieks of the
leopards, chctahs, jackals and frightened
horses.
Font enormous male lions, Pnsha, Abdul,
Caliph and Mustapha, Rpr.mg from their cages
and made for the stables, where Puxlm leaped
upon the back of Murnt, the great jumping
stallion, and buried his teeth in the animal's
neck. The screams of the horse aroused the
attention ot a Scotchman named Patterson and
three Kaflir boys, who, or. nod with stable
forks, rushed to the relief of Murat, From the
dying words of one Kaffir, who was the only
one able to speak when found, it was learned
that they rushed to unspeakable torture and
met a fearful denth. lie and his mates en
deavored to heat Pasha back, when they were
attacked iu the rear by three other lions and
one chetah. They were thrown tothegroMud,
their arms and legs bitten and torn oil, their
bodie mangled and torn open, their bones
smashed into bits, and, with the exception of
the single Kaffir, their heads crunched into a
pulp.
Having tasted blood, the lion, chetnhs,
wolves and leopards seemed to regain all their
natural ferocity and snrnngat everything tlmt
came in their way. Four performing horses
were killed almost instantly' and a number of
ponies were devoured. An enormous elephant
known as Blood burst through the heavy iron
gate in his fright and rushed intoCurrystreet,
followed by nearly every animal that was iu
the menagerie. A cabman named Nelson was
sitting on his carriage before the building ap
palled by the uproar within, but not suppos
ing the beasts could escape beyond the walls.
Suddenly, as he describes it, he saw the ani
mals come forth iu a perfect volume of feroci
ty, first the elephant loudly trumpeting, closely
followed by a writhing, snarling mass of lions,
hyenas, jackals, baboons and every other qual
ity of brute.
' Nelson sprang for a post thnt supports an
awning around Glover's Athletic Bar and
climbed into safely, while his horses dached
mad down the Dutoitspou road, snorting
with i fear, closely pursued by two lions and
four wolves. The remainder of the wild ani
mals distributed themselves in Very direc
tion. '
A little child of James Grindly, happening
to be in a rear room opening on a garden, wns
poured upon by a chetah and dragged into
the open air, where its agonized mother' saw
it torn to pieces and devoured without any
fower to help it. Others and equally horrow
ng incidentsare reported, among which is the
killing of five women, who were fearfully
mangled.

Most of the Dwellings Houses in the
City of Granada in Ruins.
The Town Nearly Deserted Fear of an
Eruption In the Kxtluct Volcano of
Mombacho Heavy Damage.
There have been ominous warnings of con
vulsions of nature going on under the surface
of a portion of Granada, Nicaragne, during the
past several days which has driven people of
Granada from their homes. The earthquakes
began their rumblings on Sunday in the lo
cality and have since resulted in the injury
of nearly every house in the city of 15,000
touls.
Granada is built at the base of the great vol
cano, Mombacho, which has been cousidcied
ns extinct for centuries, no eruption having
taken place in it since the discovery of the
country. But there is now a daily dread lest
the long-closed crater should open and bury
the town in lava and asher.
The first evidence of the earthquake dis
turbance which have been going on beneath
Granada was given on Sunday.when one of t he
fairest days of the year was broken in upon
by a trembling of the earth aud an ominous
rumbling noise as of distint thunder proceed
ing from the volcano. Several series of trem
bling were then felt, but not any of them sut
ficent to do harm to dwellings, although it
created a panic among the inhabitants. A.
heavy shock came next morning that caused
great injury to nearly every house of the city,
and was felt at Managua, Rivas, M assay a, and
other towns sixty and seventy miles distant
from the volcano Mombacho. Other shocks
equally heavy followed, though no damage
has been done outside of the eity, where there
is hardly a house with walJ uncracked or with
tile root uninjured and partly thrown into the
itreet.
A common night is to see whole families,
headed by father or brothers, carrying bun- i
dies of bedding and the most necessary of
household goods, every member bearing a part
of the burden. Those who have been unable
to get away have paued the nights sleeplesely
and fearfully on cots placed at doorways, in
the streets, or public places, where groups of
campers are huddled together, away troin the
danger of falling walls.
Up to the present time 10,0 0 persons have
left the city by the railroad trains alone, the
Government running the trains out of town
as rapidly as the facilities will permit. In ad
dition to that number, 2,000 have gone by
other means, seeking retuge in neighboring
haciendas, tho railroad facilities having been
insufficient for the task of effecting an exodus.
The depot is crowded with men, women and
children, the aged and infirm, the invalid from
a bed of sickness, with bundlesof beddingand
most necessary clothes, urged forth by the
wildest fears, many anxious to get even room
to hold on to the train to be taken from the
place.
On all hands the most pitiful sights are seen
of those whose houses have been partly de
stroyed, and as the quivering of the earth is
again felt and that ominous, distant rumbling
from the volcano is heard the weak and help
less east anxious glances toward the crater's
crest to detect any beginning of the greater
calamity they fear. The population of the
city has now been reduced, it is estimated, to
3,000, the remains of a city of 15,000 popula
tion lour days ago.
Although the calamity hasbeen great enough
and caused a great panic, there have been no
cases yet of falling walls or of any deaths con
sequent upon tbe earthquake shocks. The
Government has done all in its power to keep
order and prevent the plundering of deserted
houses. Two hundred soldiers have been sent
from Manaqua, and when any one is caught in
the act of stealing justice is promptly admin
istered in the form of a flogging.
NOVEL WAR IN COLORADO.
Moving a Conrt-lionie and the Hot
Fight Abont It.
A serious trouble between the to wns of Bos
ton and Springfield in Baca, is now going or.
Since Baca county was made from Las Ani
mas county by the last General Assembly
there has been strife between these two towns
as to which should have the seat. The act or
ganizing the county provided that Springfield
should be the county scat, and at the elect ion
held last full, it is alleged that by the manip
ulation of the ballots it was made the perma
nent county seat. The people of the town of
Boston claim that Springfield has not the
$5,000 worth of county property necessary to
prevent the county sent from being moved by
a minority vote this fall. The only available
building for a county court-house was n hotel
building in Boston. A few weeks ago this wns
sold at a sheriffs sale, and was bought by
Springfield parties. Saturday night a party
left Springheld for Boston with machinery
costing $I,W0, intending to move the building
to the former town and use as a court-house,
thus preventing the county seat issue being
raised this fall by reason of prominent im
provements being made. Rollers were put
under the buildine, which is the finest in the
county, and three stories high, and twenty
teams were hitched to it. Inside the bouse
were stationed twelve men with Winchester
rifles.
The building was moved about five miles
toward Springfield, which is about 25 miles
lrom Boston, when the people of the latter
place discovered the trick and immediately
organ'zed. All available horses and rities
were brought into requisition and pursuit was
made. Upon overtaking the party they com
manded a nalt,which was answerer! by a volley
of shots from the men in the building. The
Boston crowd then fired, and a fierce battle
raged, which ended in the Springfield party
being driven from the building. Conl oil wai
then procured, and the floors of the building
saturated, which was set on fire and entirely
consumed.
A RIFLE'S FATAL WORK.
The llnllrt Shot by Accident Kills a Little
liny and tVimiula a Ulrt,
During James LeverhamV absence from his
home in Merri vale, Texas, his little son was
found in the- yard, playing with his father's
Winchester. An older daughter attempted to
take the weapon from the boy and thcguuwaa
accidentally discharged with fatal effect.
The ball entered the boy's mouth and passed
through his brain killing him. The, scream
ing and distracted girl hurried into the house
foi assistance, and on entering the door fell
over the prostrate body of hers'n-ter. The ball,
after its work of death in the yard, had passed
through the weather-boarding of the houso
and killed the second member of the family.
The ball took effect in the rear part of the girl's
head and was found lotkred in her mouth.
