A. J. Eimermann, a well-known attor-

letter from Rube a Cox, a law firm at

is the sole heir to an estate of 017,000 or
more, left by F. A. Wolter, who recently
died in Houston. Mr. Eimermann at

he helped in the summer of 1870 by a
loan of $10, with which to buy n ticket

The Winter quarters of the Barnum
and Bailey circus was the scene, at
Bridgeport, Conn., one day last week, of
much bloodshed, five animals owned by
the show being killed in their cages.
The vietiu:e of the keeper's revolvers
were a lion, an ibex and three once vale -
able greyhounds. The lion was the first
to be riddled with bullets and the °there
q°iekly followed him. All of the animals
have been sick with a peculiar disease
for some time. When the show started
out on the road a abort time ago nit of
them were sick and were left behind in
the hope that they would recover and
join the circus later. Rheumatism was
mainly responsible foe the condition of
the lion, and the ravages of aieeaes re.
dosed the ouoe kingly beast to a mere
skeleton, with hardly strength enough to
walk. All his latent strength and fury
were aroused, however, when the doctor,
Chief of Police Rylands and the keepers
appeared before his cage with revolvers
and prepared to despatch him. Two
bullets sent into hie head had. 110 more
effect than as many shots from a putty
blower. A third was equally ineffective,
but the fourth imbedded itself in his
brain and he rolled over dead. The doge
were easily disposed of. They had been
suffering greatly from mange. The ibex,
however, fought hard and proved a
tough customer. Bullets had no effect
on bins, whatever ; he didn't even wince.
He was then tied to a cage and prussic
acid administered, but this proved fruit-
less also. An axe was finally used as the
instrument of death, and half a dozen
blows were delivered before he succumb•
ed. He had to be trilled, however, or he
would have spoiled the profits of the
show in a few months. The disease
with which the ibex suffered ie not
known. He had been ill all Winter and
when the show was ready to start he re-
fused to fatten up and look sleek. Hie
appetite, however, was rather increased.
He ate more than the late lamented
Jumbo, with no visible resnlh, and it cost
more to feed him than any dozen animals
in the circus. All of the animals were
valued highly when in good health.
