New York SUM-


BRIDGEPORT, CONN, Nov. 20.-Last
night Betsy, the big elephant now win
terlng here, became dissatisfied with her
narrow quarters in the barn where the
animals are confined, and made up her
mind to sally forth into wider arena.
She accordingly snapped the ropes and
chains that bound her, walked out
Of her stall, and after promenad-
ing up and down for a few min
-utes, marched to the cage of a young
Bengal tiger, upset it, and turned the
occupant loose. The tiger was taken
by surprise, and SO much disgusted at
the practical joke played upon him, that
he retreated 10 a'quiet corner and nursed
his wrath. Betsy seemed to be spelling
for fight. She started again for the
tiger, but before she could strike him ne
had jumped clear over her and taken
refuge on one Of the crossbeams. Betsy
made another attempt to reach the tiger
but tailed. She then burst open the
barn door and marched for the railroad
depot, where she encountered an engine
on the track. Sne made close study of
the kissing and sn0rting iron horse, and
having satisfied herself that sho coul |
easily overcome 1t in a fair fight, she
proceeded to tackle it. She tried 1t on
all sides, but could not bulge it, and at
ter having scorched her proboscis by
bringing it in close contact with the fur
mace door, she became desp0ndent, and
moved away.
Meanwhile Nero and Tuck, the two
dogs that are kept with the elephant,
had trotted around and aroused the
Keepers, who started out to capture the
eccentric runaway. Wilson +. Green
and Charles Cotton came up with her
as she was entering the town. They
both tried by moral suasion to induce
Betsy to return to camp, but she indfg-
nantly refused. Further persuasion ir-
ritated her, and at lensta, failing by quiet
obstinacy to rid herselfof her torment-
ors, she lifted her trunk and brought it
down with sidelong sweep chat sent
Mr.. Green more than ten yards through
space. She then upset Mr.. Cotton. and
would perhaps have crushed 'hfn with
her feet had not her attention been di-
verted in time by Tommy Murphy, one
OF the circus boys, who ran up in front
VI her. Seizing Tommy around the mid
die she held him aloft, aud, carrying him
gently for q lew rods, dropped him ten
derly on the ground and continued on
her journey.
BY this time the whole circus force
was out. Dozens Of men surrounded the
huge beast, and after beating her badly
with clubs and prodding her with pitch
forks, they succeeded in getting Betsy
in harness.. AS soon as ghe was tethered
she turned quietly about and returned to
the barn without a protest. Had the
escape been made in the day time, seri.
Gus damage might have resulted from
Betsy's freak.

The, Ottawa (Canada) Free Press, Of

statement on the, authority OF an eye

morning, novel and brilliant spectacle

good fortune to be in the Vicinity of the

brightly at the time. Followed by an
immense train of ire, of a vividRess that
can not be easily described, terminating
in an immense column Of blood-red
flame and dense smoke, it fell in an
oblique direction to the west, and then
plunged with fearful kissing noise into

EXPRESS ROBBERS.
Nine Jurors SeIected-CurIOus In.
cident.

In the Criminal Court to-day, up TO
one o'clock pm, nine jurors were
selected in the case of the State vs.. Ed
Johnson, Mac Morris, Woods and the
negro Johnson, the notorious Express
robbers. The nine jurors selected are:
C. Curtis, Charles A. Griswold, Andrew
Stein, j.. R. Flemming, John Blanton,
L. r. Morris, c. W. Sturdiyant, W. S.
King and W. B. Wright. The panel
being exhausted at twelve o'clock m
Judge Flippin ordered the Sheriff to
summon another panel of jurors to
gil up the jury-5ox, and in the mean
time the court took a recess until one
o'clock, Ed Johnson, who has been
ieigping insanity, presented q changed
and neat appearance in court to-day, the
jailer having made him wash himself,
get shaved, have his hair cut, pnt Oil a
clean shirt, etc. he now appears as be
did some time since, presenting The ap-
pearance of a sharp, but murderous-
looking, specimen of humanity. No
longer do you see him with his d,ublet
all unlaced, distraction in bis aspect"
etc. Johnson is himself again, and as
sane as any Of his attorneys. When be
appeared in so changed a state one Of
his learned counsel made a statement
that he had been drenched and badly
treated by the %jailer, and asked for a
writ charging that county official with
contempt Of court, but the motion was
not allowed, as the jailer had a right to
make the prisoners obey the ordinary
laws pertaining to health, especially
cleanliness Of person. The remaining
three Jurors will PROBABLY be selected
this afternoon.

Attempt to stcare n supereedeas.
p From the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court Judges were at
Jackson yesterday for the purpose Of
signing the minutes o. the Arbitration
Court of Shelby county, which was q
branch Of the Supreme Court. On sign
ing the minutes the court adjourned over
to court in course in September next,
and the judges will leave jackson today
for Knoxville to hold the regular term Of
court. Judge Tom Brown, counsel for
Foley in the Fire Commissioners iuiunc-
ton case, was at Jackson yesterday
presenting & petition to the SUPREME
Court and e%ndeavoring to get a super
cedeas in the case, but Alderman Met
cali, who is a lawyer, happened to be at
Jackson, and hearing Of the application,
used the necessary efforts to prevent the
issuance of the extraordinary writ and
with every hope Of success. Yet, should
the supereedeas be issued upon the sworn
petition it will have bat little effect, as
everything has been accomplished. The
Commissioners went on and made re-
movals after the injunction had been dis,
solved and the bill dismissed by Chancel-
Tor Walker and the supercedeas would
have no legal bearing or effect on the.
case

Thursday next, at their private Gene
terry, where the dead of the different
societies are buried. At the National
Cemetery celebration the dsrkey had to
take a back seat, and this did not suit
the glowing mind of the average Afri-
can, beneath whose dome of thought
religion and politics are strangely
blended snd intermixed in sad confus-
ion.
When Court Square is adorned with
that fountain it will be the prettiest little
park on this continent. As it is, it al
tracts the admiration of all strangers.
Cannot something be done to prevent
the beautiful shade trees on the side
walks around it from being destroyed BY
the hack horses2 On the Main street
side thirty splendid shade trees have
already beeu killed by the vandals, and
no effort has been made to replace such
trees.
Now that the Mississippi and Tennes-
zee Railroad Company has moved its
fence out to the line on Main street and
the plank pavement over the bayou on
the other side of the street has fallen in,
pedestrians, as well as drivers of vehi-
Giles, have a difficult time Of it in max
ing progress with safety in that portion
Of town. The plank sidewalk should be
repaired as SOC as possible, as it is now
in a very dangerous condition, forming
a death trap after dark.
Anew invention has been introduced
here by al enterprising citizen for the
benefit Of those who have h~en-roosts. II
is the chicken torpedo" which is placed
in the hen-house and is arranged so that
when the thief comes and makes the at
tempt to carry off ROSTERS and pullets
he ignites the torpedo and an explosion
occurs. If the thief is in the right
place at the time the subsequent pro-
ceedings will be of little interest to him,
although the Coroner may have some
thing to do.
The Police Board acts sensibly when,
after having removed a member Of the
force, puts in his place one of the patrol
men who we're dropped on the %re-organi-
cation aud for the only reason that the
city charter limited the number of police,
exclusive Of the Chief, to one to every
one thousand inhabitants. Aliberal and
sensible construction ef the charter
would give one policeman on actual duty,
day and night, to every one thousand in
habitants. This would enable the Com
missioners to protect the citizens from
the raids Of thieves and the depredations
Of house-burners.
This afternoon the General Council
will assemble at the City Hall and wind
up unfinished monthly business, settle
the budget, salary bill, scrip issuing
question, and other things most neces.
sary but toe numerous to mention. The
Council is making haste slowly, and
often INDUCES in too much cheap ora
tory for buncombe and for the purpose
of amusing each other and the small but
not select audience which is always
present at a free show. In some other
issue of this Journal our reporter will de.

Additional Particulars 81 the Ter.
Ffbie Accident.

Additional Particulars ~ the Ter.
Ffbie Accident.
In yesterdays LEDGER appeared an
account Of the running over aud killing
Of a white woman on the Charleston rail-
road, near Germantown. From a gen
tleman who was on the train at the time
and who resides at Germantown, we
CLEAN the following particulars:
The unfortunate woman was Mrs.
Roberts, who recently lost her husband
and some property, which preyed upon
her mind. She had been heard to say
that she was completely discouraged and
was weary Of life. On Monday evening
she purchased a bottle of whisky, stating
that she desired to make some " bitters."
This was just before the II o'clock night
train was due at Germantown. She was
killed in the manner stated in yester.
days LEDGER, the body having been torn
into pieces by the rushing train. She
was said to have been a we'll informed
woman, and was good.looking and we'll
dressed, The accident could not have
been avoided by the engineer Of the train,
even if the suspicion of suicide on the
part of the m is incorrect. When
the train struck her she was on the track
at the foot of a heavy grade and at the
commencement Of a curve where she
could not be seen by the engineer until
too late. Mrs. Roberts resided with the
family of Mr.. Isaac Stout and she was
highly regarded by all who knew her.

celebrating the Feast Of Weeks" The
ceremonies incident to confirmation
were held in the different synagogues TO-
day. The Feast is something like the
Feast of Ceres celebrated by tAe
ancieats, it being a feast celebrated by
the Jews 10 olden times at the close Of
the harvest season, and in honor of that
event.
The Police and Fire Commissioners
at a meeting held yesterday, adopted q
resolution to confer With the General
Council for the purpose of devising ways
and means to pay off the members of the
police and FIRE forces Immediately. This
is a good move in the right direction, as
the men are all in debt to their grocery
merchants and others who supply them
and their families with the necessaries
of life.
A very valuable and rare collection Of
miscellaneous and literary works, the
oonteat5 Of a private library, was sold
at a%uctien by Mr.. FARMLAND yesterday.
Many citizens attended and made pur-
chases Of such works as suited their
tastes or %fancies. Our literary man ex-
amined the books aud left the premises
with a sigh over his impecunious condi
ton, which deprived him of the pleas
ure Of investing a few hundred dollars
