(hie of the l'ocpers, Clark nedell. at
tached to the circus which exhibited
h"ro yesterday, was attacked by a tiger
at V. lllces-lJairo Monday and his right
thl?h was serlousl:. lacerated. Wood
poisoning is fearid. lie is at tho I.iK'k
nwannn hospital.
The beast made the assault while the
parade after going through the city
was enteilng the show grounds, lledell
says ho raw It nctlng ugly, nnd ndopted
the- usual nvans to iul"t It. by bran
dishing a thick whip. The tiger kept
on snarling, and he decided It was time
to leave tho cage. And as he was slid
ing back the door to escape tho tiger
It aped at him. Ho cot outside safely,
and directed himself to closing the
door.
Willi? thus engaged he hail to ward
off tho thrust of Its paws. Tho door
did not work casllv and he had to throw
his right side against It to push It shut.
The tiger shoved one of Its paws
through the bars and tore tho llosh ot
his thigh with Its claws.
Bedell did not think so seriously of
his wound until yesterday, and when he
came to town with tho show, he had
to go to the hospital.

155KI) THAT Till': ASSOCIATION HAS
A Ilia CONTRACT ON 1IANU-1F
Mt'CH WORK IS TO UIJ IJONIJ AT
TIM FRONT, AN Al.MANCU MUST
w: formkij with Tin: two na
tional ORGANIZATIONS.
Nearly a Hcore of nppllcants for aid
have already been made to the olllcers
of the Soldiers' Relief association, Tho
work of Investigating them promises
to ho so laborious that tho employing
of an agent will be proposed nt tho
regular meeting tomorrow afternoon.
Hon. John R. Fair, T. II. Dale and
tho secretary at present constitute tho
relief committee. Mr. Fnrr has been
out ot tho city several days nnd the
business demands upon the time of tho
other two members have been such
that Ihe relief work has been nt a
standstill. Under the most fnvorablo
circumstances It Is not believed that
the committee' would be ablp to per
sonally attend to the Investigations.
For this reason, the permanent em
ployment of an agent has been pro
posed. It has been suggested that the agent
he a man of Christian character, emi
nently reliable anil thoroughly ac
quainted with charitable work. Whether
ho should work under the Immediate
direction of the relief committee or tho
officers or both has not been decided
upon.
"Wo arc Just beginning to appreci
ate the magnitude of our undertak
ing," said a member of the general
committee to a Tribune reporter yes
terday. "Applications for relief will
give us much to do and wo will havo
to see to tho welfare of many wives,
mothers and sisters whose pride will
prevent them from seeking us. It
would bo easier, too. If every appli
cant could receive n sum of money or
an order for provisions on demand, but
we alone can be tho Judges of what Is
needed and It will take time, trouble
nnd money to do It.
RFSINHSS PRINCIPLES.
"The committee feels that It must
conform strictly to business principles
In handling tho money of its patrons.
Our position is one of trust and wo
are obligated to the givers as well as
to the applicants In seeing thnt the
means at our disposal are well ap
plied. "One part of our work that may ho
attended with tho greatest of difficul
ties Is that with tho members of tho
regiment. It would be easy now to
send supplies provisions, delicacies for
tin' sick, underclothes, etc. to the front
but circumstances may be different
later.
"If the regiment finally goes to Cuba,
Porto Rico, Key West or other points
accessible only by water nnd a long
distance away, wo will havo our own
troubles In sending goods to the front.
The government would be put to great
stress to forward Its own supplies and
In anticipation of such a contlnjincy
our prospective alliance with the Na
tional Relief association nnd the Red
Cross society should bo npeedlly made.
I think I am correct In saying that this
view is shared by tho rest of the com
mittee. In the event of an epidemic
among the soldiers this alliance with
the national organizations, which are
already recognized by the government,
would be Imperative.
"It Is probable that some steps wll!
be taken at our meeting on Thursday
to encourage the preliminary organ
ization of a woman's auxiliary. Tho
work for It to do can he suggested ns
the needs of tho regiment are made
known. AVc have received severni
offers from ladles who arc willing to
organize such a body but It Is probable
that tho committee will solicit tho aid
of several prominent Scrnnton women
and leave in their hands the task of
perfecting an nuxlllary to bo composed
of representative women In all parts
of tho city."
Tho statement of the relief fund to
date was unnounced as follows lato
