The Elephant Tragedy.

The Philadelphia Inquirer of the o1st
has the following details Of this shocking
occurrence /:
A portion of Forepaugh's menagerie,
including all the larger animals, among
which was the huge elephant Romeo, I"
has lately been placed In winter quarters in
the village of Marlborough, in Montgomery
county, sixteen miles north of this place.
This elephant had created quite sensation
in the past year by his performances, and,
being suddenly immured in great cage,
had become moody of iate On Wednes-
day morning last, his keeper, Mr.. w. S.
William, went in to see hun, and ordereds
Romeo to perform sundry tricks, which he
obstinately refused to do, aud was whipped.
Towards evening OF the same day, Mr. VIII
llams carried some water into the cage,
then barred the door, and tried to wash
Romeo facG and tusks. He had no soon
CT approached within the reach of the mas
slve trunk of the elephant, than the latter
threw it out out, and, winding it about the
unfortunate man, hurled him to the ground,
and again and again thrust his broken tusk
into the body of his victim.
The limbs and arms of Williams were
crushed by the blows of the enraged ami
NAL. The piercing shrieks for help from
Williams drew to the scene little boy,
who Immediately ran for aid Several men
broke into the barred cage, but were too
late to save the wounded man, who after
an hour of intense suffering expired. Mr..
Williams belonged to london, Canada West,
where he owned farm He was about 40
years of age, and was married, but had no
children. His wife was with him at Hat
borough. He was man of most excellent
character, and beloved by all who knew
him. He had taken much interest in a
religious revival going on in one of the
churches of the place. lie was Romeo S
keeper before for five or six years, but for
about ten years he had been otherwise en-
gagged, until just one year to day, before
his death, when he again took charge of
him, and lad been with him ever since.
Romeo Immediately after he had reveuged
himself for the indignity of his chastise-
ment, became docile. but the proprietors
put upon him heavy iron bracelets, which
will ctfectually prevent him from doing any
injury. Some time ago, while marching
through our own city, he created consider
able devastation among lot Of wagons that
impeded his progress.

A Tape Worm Six Hundred Feet in
Length

We have sometimes read accounts of
tape worms several feet and sometimes
yards In length, taking from individuals,
but If we had ever seen it averred that one
had sbeen taken complete and entire two
hundred yards in length unless we had re-
ceived very liberal pay for crediting it,
We should have declined. DR.. Gum re-
cords it as an extraordinary fact that he
had seen one hundred feet iu length, and
we believe it has not generally been con-
ceded by medical authorities that the crea-
ture ever reached greater length, or that
it is possible to remove suca one en-
tire and undecomposcd. Be that as it may,
we yesterday. saw one in the Office of Drs
Head u Dahlman, of the species technically
known as Tenia Lata, which is believed to
measure two hundred yards in length. DIR.
Dahman informed uitha. be had measured
so lengths of the table before him (about
three feet long, with fully one fourth of the
varmint still in the bottle. 1t looks very
much like piece of white tare from one
sixth to one-fourth of an inch in width,
narrowest at the extremities Itwas taken
from she son of MIR. Jacob Straub, some
sixteen years Of age, living two or three
miles from town. Drs. Head and Dahlman
were two hours in taking the worm from
him. The boy was very much emaciated,
having been wasting away for year or
more, but is now doing WE'LL The opera
ton was performed last Saturday. This
remarkable worm will be subjected to scien-
tllic analysis, and placed in some medical
museum. 1t will be an object of great in
terest and curiosity to the medical frater-
nifty ClartartUe (IN.) Democrat.

The Fenians.

London, Dec. 2S
Many improbable rumors ale ahoat,
iucluding one that Fenian cruiser had
been seen off the Irish coast, and was
chased away by the war vessels.
a man was arrested in this city last eve
ming on charge of having fired the fuse
which caused the recent terrible explosion
at Clerkenwell. 1t is believed to be true
that the culprit has at last been captured.
London, Dec 2S-Evening.
Another Fenian outrage was perpetrated
to-day in Dublin. An effort was made te
fire the General Pos, Office by means o.
Greek fire. The attempt, happily, was
frustrated. Beyond the destruction of 6
few letters, no great damage was done
A large powder mill at Faversham, about
fifty miles from this city. was blown up anC
and utterly destroyed this afternoon. Tel
persons were killed outright, and a large
number injured. The cause of the cxplo
sion is unknown.

FENIANIsM IN ENGLAND.-Matt are
not quite so lovely in England with regard
to the Fenians as the Cable agent repre-
sented the other day, when he told us that
the Government knew and had known from
the beginning all about those Fenians,- =
their strength, agencies, distribution, and
plans: and had been and was prepared for
them at all points. The dispatch of the
9th indicated, however, that the Govern
ment was not too old to learn and that.
in lieu of certain knowledge, it took coun-
sci OF its fears Of a rumored general attempt
to rescue the Fenians anywhere in durance
vile. Todays dispatch informs us that
the uprising did not occur all of which is
very bad for the infaIibility of the Govern.
ment and the prudence of the tclegramatist
who went off half cooked.

Murder of Chief justice Slough.
DENVER. Dec. "a

DENVER, Dec "a.
Last Friday our city was considerably
excited over the news of the killing of
Chief Justice John B. Slough, of New
York, at Santa Fe The particulars of the
terrible tragedy, received this morning,
are as follows: A short time ago Slough
had difficulty with Secretary Heath ald
Indian Agent Army, relative to the swear
ing-in of the members Of the Legislature.
! The Chief Justice had always performed
that duty previous to the assembling of the
last Legislature, few weeks ago, when,
for some reason, they called upon the Sec
retary to swear them in. This the Chief
Justice took as direct insult to himself
and meeting Mr.. Army, charged him with
being the lnstigator Of the movement, and
| assaulted him in tn, most violent manner
He was arrested and brought before j Jus-
tice of the Peace, but refused to be tried
before such an officer, and left the court
| room. For these and other acts unbccom-
ing Chief Justice, member of the Leg
islature, named VIM. l.. Rynerson, intro
duced joint resolution declaring that, in
the opinion Of the people of New Mexico,
John 7. Slough was unfit to hold the posi-
tion Of Chief Justice, and requesting his
removal For this Slough denounced Ry-
! ncrson as liar, coward and thief. They
| (Slough and Ryuerson), met In the bar
room of the Exchange Hotel at noon on
Sunday last, when Rynerson demanded a
retraction from Slough of the epithets he
had applied to him. Slough refused to re-
tract anything that he had said, whereupon
| Rynerson drew a revolver and fred at
Slough. The shot took effect just above
the thigh, causing his death in 2 few hours.
Rynerson gave himself up to the officers
and a strong guard was placed over him to
prevent the excited ropulace from lynch
ing him, which they threatened to do.
| The greatest excisement prevailed for a
few hours, aid the city was draped in
mourning. Rynerson was formerly Cap
| tain in the California Volunteers, and held
the position of Quartermaster at San
ia Fe and other places for a long time. His
friends claim that he was fully justified in
shooting Slough.
! Chief Justice Slough was a man of con-
siderable ability He formerly practiced
law Is this city, but oa the breaking out of
the war he was commissioned Colonel of the
First Regiment Colorado Cavalry, aud
commanded at the battle of Pigeons
Rancho, New Mexico, where he defeated
the Texas Rangers under command of Gen.
Sibley He was afterward commissioned
Brigadier General, and was Military Gov
ernor of Alexandria, va. After the close
OF the war he was appointed Chief Justice
of New Mexico, which position ho held up
| the time OF his death.

KICK HIM OUT! President JOHNSON
has determined beyond doubt to remove
Gen. POPE from the command Of the
Fourth Military District. The step was
resolved upon some weeks ago, and has
only been delayed by the difficulty In find
ing a reliable and competent person as his
successor. This person has not yet been
decided upon. The charges against Gen.
Pope are numerous and daily on the in
crease. The last is that he encourages the
arming and the public displays of large
bodies of negroes. He is blamed for the
exhibition made by the negroes on Christ
mas day.

DasH The London Times has an article on
the question of American naturalization OF
aliens, in which position is taken that Mr..
JOHNSON and our people are all wrong;
that by our act no native of Great Britain
loses his allegiance to the British crown,
and that the courts must decide each in.
dividual case in which dispute is raised.
If that's the doctrine Of the Cabinet at ST.
james war with England is all the while
imminent, because to the application Of
that doctrine the United States viii never
consent. To be citizen of this Republic
is to posses all the rights and immunities OF
citizenship, and chief among these is the
right to protection, though every gun and
every man must be invoked to secure it.
The musty maxims of Fcudal law will not
be accepted as compensation for interna.
tional wrong.

REDUCTION OF WAGES The Newbury-
port Massachusetts, Herald says the best
of ship carpenters in that city are working
for sI.25 a day. The employees in the iron
works at Fairyiew, near Harrisburg, Pa. y,
will have their wages reduced S per week
after January l. The Lawrence Manufac-
turing Company of Lowell, Mass, which
for the past two weeks has been running
on three-quarters time, has returned to It's
full time, and this is hailed as good omen
for plenty of work during the winter in
that city 1t is announced that all the iron
manufacturing establishments in the vicin-
ity Of Wheeling and Pittsburgh have de-
termined upon reduction Of the wages Of
the operatives, or total suspension of
work at the mills. The aggregate capital
employed in Wheeling in the iron manu-
factories is about s3,000 900, which, by a
stoppage of the mills, will lie idle, and
5000 men will be thrown out of employ
ment If the laborers consent to the re-
duction of 33 per cent. on their wages,
operations will continue. The Cleveland,
Columbus and Cincinnati railroad has
adopted the eight hour system iD its shops
in Cleveland, with corresponding reduc-
ton in wages. There is talk of the Lake
Shore road doing the same.
