An Elephantine Sensation.
[ From The St. Louis Republican, Dec. O.

a sensation OF the first water swept East st.
Louis yesterday morning, Of so unique and
exciting q character that it will not be forgotten
for many long day. At about halt past three
o'clock yesterday morning MIR. Edward S.
Bradley, citizen OF East St. Louis, was
awakened by his wife with the intelligence that
burglars were attempting to effect an entrance
to the house, which, it may be stated, is two
story frame, situated on Third street. The
upper portion OF the dwelling is occupied by
the family for sleeping apartments, while one
OF the lower rooms serves as room for an old
lady named Flynn, member of the household
On learning that some cause for alarm really
existed, MIR. Bradley arose, and erasping a
huge cavalry sword, stationed himself at the
window, expecting every moment to see the
ingrcss or attempted ingress of some daring
thief, and determined to defend his fresiGe at
all hazards. While thus waiting sudden
crash was heard from below, as if the whole
side of the house had been jammed in, and at
the same time the old lady was heard to scream
piercingly as if wild with fear. According to
the story, the window and the bureau near it
were suddenly dashed into the middle of the
room. Her husband is night watchman, and
being soon expected home, she thought he
must have been out drunk and was attempting
to get in through the window.
one Sprang from her DeQ anu SelZeQ what
she suppose 10 be the retreating leg of man.
1t had queer feel, however, and was drawn
outward with violence, and the old lady, hav-
ing advanced close to the shattered window,
saw to her horror the towering bulk of an enor.
nous elephant. Unable to overcome the shock
she ieil almost insens!bc to the floor. At this
stage of affairs Slr Bradley, with his drawn
sabre, started to the rescue. The stairs lead
ing below are on the outside of the house, and
as he descended he encountered the elephant,
who appeared determined to ascend the steps.
A few bows OF the steel blade on the trunk
cowed the huge brute, and nc commenced a
retreat. He backed out Of the yard and took
a northwardly course until he arrived at the
saloon owned by Mr.. Charles Schaffner, at
which place he stopped, took general obser-
vation of the surroundings, then making des
perato charge he shiyered large door to
atoms This last affair was the close Of his
damage. He wandered off through the silent
streets and at daylight was found near the
Southeastern depot dead, having, 1t Is SAID,
died from the effects of the cold. The explain
alton of the business was soon asceraned.
The elephant belonged to menagere, which
was going east on the Fandaa Railroad. The
elephant was left at dark by the keeper in q
railroad car being, as he supposed, securely
locked u. During the night, however, be
broke the chain which fastened his leg, tore
down the door and started on bis voyage OF
death. He was an immense brute and bis car
cass was viewed with intense curiosity by the
citz,ns during the day. 1t is said that the
original cost of the animal Was nearly $4,000.
