Washington, Octolier 29 A rare combat took this afternoon in the building occupied by fish commission, between two little pets of that institution whose likes have probably never found themselves in such close' proximity iince the age featherless birds, winged reptiles and web-footed quadrupeds. The aggressor and victor as well, a newly arrived giia pronounced llelai a monster from t.ila river, in Arizona, the only epeews lizzard whose bite is known to be poisonous, the victim whs a two year old alligator from Florida. The monster is' fourteen inches long, twice the weight of his antagonist, llota reutiles were in a semi-torpid condition, having ceased to take food a week or two ago, and for purpose they had been removed from the cases and placed beside each other upon the floor. The attendant inadvertently touched the alliga tail, which caused him to move sluggishly onward a few inches, here he cams in coutact me niunt nose ot the monster, ihe snakv of the latter lighted np with a leam of Satanic malevolence, its black Hps openeu wide, and its closed with a snap upon the foru paw of the alligator. 1 he alligator developed unexpected activity.
Though taken at a sad disadvantage, it made for the time a gallant fight for its liberty and Its movement was marvellously quick, and jaws closed a dozen times in succession upon mailed head of its assailant. It soon, however, became exhausted, and, moaning like a suffering child, relapsed into quietude. The attendants sought by a variety of means to release the wretched alligator, but were cou-pelled, may be supposed, to be very careful in handling venomous monster. He was seized by tail, held up in the air, takvn by bloated neck, choked severely, plunged under water and maltreated in other ways, but to no purpose. Then sharp wires were thrust into his nose.
Finally a large trowel whs forced into bis mouth, so successful was the force of hia urio that the blade, though considerably bent in the effort, failed release the imprisoned paw. Thea the pair were replaced in the glass case which had been occupied by the monster, and again alligator renewed its struggles, thrashing its euemv with its tail, and its imprisoned limbs be came powerless. Its moaning was pitiful, and the attendants wore moved to renewed and at last successful efforts to effect a separation. The trowel re-introduced into the monster's mouth and no gentle thrusts, and probably effected a severe wound in some lender part. Bubbles of greyish slime were exuded from the month and nostriis, finally the jaws Blowlv opened.
Kven then it the work of several minutes to disengage the hooked fangs from the wounded paws. The com-btanta were finally laced in senarate receptacles. Monster lapping his black lips with satisfaction, while the alligator ciosea us eyes, prooauiy 10 urn the venom in its system. DIED IN THE FLAMES. ACCOUNT OF THE RECENT 1IOLO CAUST BY EYEWITNESSES.
