The Siamese nation has recently
been plunged into mourning 10y the
death of the court and body elephant
Of the King. One morning, after a
hearty breakfast, he Went mal quite
unexpectedly, and tramoled tive OF his
attendants to death. 70 shoot him
would have been sacrilege. An at
tempt to tranquilize his pe.tnrbed spir.
1t 10y encircling him with huge ring
of hnl, bamboo, specially blessed by
the High Priest of his own particular
temple, proved worse than intellectual,
tor he broke through the ring and all
but terminated the High Priests ca
rec. upon the spot. he was then with
great difficulty driven into Il close
court of the palace, where, after sev
eral furious cndeavor to batter down
the walls with his tusks he suddenly
toppled over on his side, uttered last
cry of rage. and gave up the ghost.
Naturally enough, this heavy Calamity
was attributed to criminal cavelessntss
on the part of one or other ot the at.
tendan,s intrusted with the sacred el-
ephant's feeding. The Kulg, therefore
interrogated the members of the ele-
ephant's household in pcrs"n, and
failing to elicit any individual confes-
sion of delinquency, decieea ;hat they
should all be punished

Why Not Let Him Build 1t !


What is all this fuss about the Panama
eanall And why should the United
States have control of it Do we need
ANYTHING more than that the ships OF all
nations should use it upon equal terms,
aud that in time Of w1r its neutrality
should be scrupnlOusly preserved
When we made a treaty with Great
Britain respecting the interoceanic canal
which il was then proposed to open
across Nicaragua, We agreed that 1t
should be a neutral work, and that
neither of the two contracting powers,
neither the United States nor Great
Britain, should exercise any exclusive
right over it. II this was a good princi-
pie then, why is it not good principle
now?
1t is a rather curious fact that the
present attempt to excite opposition to
Dir. Lesseps seems to proceed, Tor the
most part, from Mr. JAY Gould and the
Pacific Railroad concerns. Even Gen.
Grant, who argues against Panama and
10 favor Of a canal through Nicaragua,
is Just now very much mixed up with
Mr.. Gould in a Mexican railroad scheme.
Perhaps those who are against the pro-
iect of Mr.. Lesseps, are, in fact, against
anv interoceanic canal st all. Perhaps
they are merely a sort of railroad run
ners. looking out for the interest OF their
emDlOyers. Who knows

BRITISH AFFAIRS.
Proceedings ef ParlEament-The
Irish Trials.

LONDON, January 22-1n the House of
Commons lsst night Mr. Ryland, Liberal,
moved that the annexation of the Trans
vaal was impolitic and unjusti6able.
Mr.. Gladstone said 1t was the resolute in
tention of the government to re-estsblish
British authority in the Transvaal in the
first instance.
Right Hon. Megduf, Under Colonial
Secretary, said that the government desired
to give the people Of the Transyaal to the
greatest possible extent the management
Of their own affairs as soon as they ac-
knowledge the Queens government.
Mr.. Ryland's motion was rejected by a
vote of 129 to 81.
The Standard says: SIT Is probable that
the government will be compelled to set
aside the coercion bills temporarily In order
to deal with obstruction In the House of
Commons. The Irish members intend to
offer prolonged resistance to the coercion
bill"
DUBLIN, January 22-1n the Court of
Queens bench yesterday Sergeant Heron,
for the Grown, proceeded to reply. He de-
clared that counsel for the traversers had
shirked from graphing with the evidence
regarding the damaging speeches of their
clients. He accused the traversers of hav-
iug willfullY departed from Daniel O'Con-
nell's peaceful tradition, and said the agita-
tion must be put down; that Mr.. Par
nell's political rocket had reached its
zenith. In powerful peroration he asked
whether Irisbmen we're to cease to have a
share in the splendid British empire they
had helped to build up. he was greeted
with cheers at the conclusion of his speech.
The court then adjourned until Monday,
when Judge Fitzgerald will deliver his
charge to the jury.

MRS. WIGGINS' TWO HUSBANDS
AGREE.
An Amlcable Adjustment Of Brook
Iyn's "EnOch Ardens, Case.

An amicable arrangement as to the
estate left by BIrs. Elizabeth Virgins,
OF Brooklyn, n. T., who died intestate
about year ago. has been arrived al.
Henry Phillips and Henry Virgins, her
first and second husbands, made an aP
piication to Surrogate Livingston
for the appointment of Joseph
Thomson to be administrator of the
estate, and it Is probable that the Rp.
pointment will be made, as it is under,
stood that the applicants desire to stand
aside and allow their children 10
inherit the estate jointly. Mrs. Wig
gins, who inherited large amount
of real estate in East New York from
her father, Whitehead Howard. was
married about forty years ago to Henry
Phillips, who few years afterwards dis
appeared, leaving his wife and children
in ignorance of his whereabouts About
twenty-five years ago she married Henry
Wigg:ns, by whom she had several
children. On Mrs. Virgins death a
man claiming TO be Henry Phillips ap-
peared in BROOKLYN and claimed the
right to administer on her estate as her
lawful husband. He was at first supposed
to be an impostor, but soon proved his
identity and was recognized by DR..
Howard Phillips, his son. AIr. Phillips
said that he had been lured to Califor,
mia during the gold fever; that he had
written frequently to his wife, but the
letters had been intercepted by her
mother; that on his return, twenty years
ago, finding his wife married a second
time, he had resolved to keep his ex,
istence secret during her lifetime. Mr..
Phillips during his absence amassed a
considerable fortune and now lives with
his son, DR.. Howard Phillips, in Brook.

LONDON, January 23,-It is said the bill
for the protection OF person and property in
Ireland will much resemble the West Meath
act Of 1871. 1t will empower the ViceroY,
with the advice Of the Irish privy council, to
declare the districts in which the act is to be
enforced, and the subsequent clause will
suspend the habeas corpus by empowering
the Vlceroy, upon reasonable suspicion, to
arrest any person deemed an offender within
the terms OF the act. 1t will sleo provide
that persons SO arrested cannot be released,
tried or bailed without an order of the
Privy Council or the Viceroy Another
clause will, in certain cases, substitute a
trial before two Judges for trial by Jury.
Possible suspension OF the habe&s corpus
will continue until the first of August.
Mr. Psrnell starts for Dublin to night and
returns on Tuesday, when he will move In
the House of Commons against Gladstone's
proposal to give precedence to the coercion
bills, on the ground that 1t would involve
interference with the rights of private
members.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT
Caused By the Breaking of Drying
Wheel-Seyeral Cars Take Fire and
are Burned, and Several Lives
Lost.

BINGHAaToN, N. Y, January 25-The
Atlantic express train, bound east, was
thrown from the track just vest Of Tioga,
n. Y, at 12:45 this morning, by the break
ing of driving axle on the engine. The
tender, postal car and two baggage cars,
with their contents, were burned. Postal
Clerks Redinger. seybolt, Ingram and Fox,
and Messenger Brewer of The United States
Express Company, were burned to death in
the cars, and their remains when recovered
we're nearly unacceptable. Two day
coaches were also destroyed by the fire,
but the passengers all escaped, only few
receiving slight injuries. Baggagemaster
Perry escaped from his car with his left
arm dislCcated.
WASHINGTON January 23-The following
is another account Of the accident on the
Erie Railroad:
ELMIRA, N. Y, January % The Allan
tic express left Elmira last night at IL
O'Clock for New York. The train consisted
Of one postal car, one express, two baggage
cars and nine passenger coaches, most of
the latter being Pullman sleepeTs. When
twenty five miles east of Elmirs, near
the village in the vicinity of Tioga
Centre, one OF the driving wheel
sxles of the locomotive broke close up to
the wheel, and the entire train was thrown
off the track. The train was going at the
rate of thirty I've miles an hour. The scci-
dent occurred on q level where there was
no embankment. The engine kept its up
right position, and engineer Dewitt ap-
piled the air brakes as soon as he felt the
shock. The cars were stopped very
quickly, and the forward ones turned
over and over two or three times,
some going on one side of the track aud
some on the other. The engineer and fire.
man escaped unhurt. The postal car, con-
tanning four clerks, almost instantly took
fire and burned with great rapidity. The oil
lamps used probably exploded aud added
fue, to the fire from the stoves. Every
man in this car was roasted to a crisp.
Henry G.. Brewer, the messenger,
was in the express car. Efforts were at
once made to relieve him by breaking hole
in the side of the door. He managed to get
his head through this hole, but the doomed
mans legs were fastened inside by piled up
express matter. The train men made every
effort to pull him out, but the flames drove
them away and he perished.
CHICAGO, January 22.-Three passenger
cars of the express train on the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pse fic Railway, which
left Council Bluffs Thursday morning, for
Chicago, were throw from the track by a
broken rail near Poud Creek, Illinois, yes

Awarded by the Berlin Treaty.

ATHENS, January % The powers have
informed Greece that they are negotiating in
regard to the Porte's circular, proposing a
conference at Conetantinople. The Greek
Cabinet is decidedly averse to the project,
and indeed regard it as less acceptable than
arbitration.

is ready to eoncede in Thessaly more than
was awarded Greece at the Berlin confer
ence, provided that In Epirus the line pro-
posed by the Porte's October circular is
accepted. In the meantime, In conse-
quence of the warlike attitude of Greece,
the Porte continues to prepare for war.
PARIS, January pa Berlin dispatch
semi-oficially published here, states that
nearly all the powers have accepted in
principle the Porte's proposal for a con-
ference.
The statement of the Vienna Pesss that
Greek representatives at the capitals of the

INCENDIARISG AND MURDER.
The Suspected Parties shot Dead
AFTER Being EmprisOned.

LOUISVILLE, January pa special from
Chattanooga ssys: "a few nights ago In
an adjoining county soma one fred hay
rack belonging to Henry Yarnell. After
Yarnel had extinguIsned the flames, and
while he was searching for the i1eendiary,
assisted by a man named Howe, Yarnell
dropped dead shot through the brain. Howe
was also shot in the mouth and perhaps
fatally wounded. Next day two men named
Brooks and Griffey were arrested on sus-
picion. Being some distance from the jail
they were confined In a blacksmith shop,
where they were guarded by two men
Duri5g the night a noise was heard at the
windows, aud almost simultaneously
two rifles were fred, the bull
lets entering the brains Of the
two prisoners, causing instant death. The
greatest excitement prevails In the county.
Several parties have been arrested and re-
moved TO another part of the county for
fear of lynching. There are no positive
proofs Of the cause of the murder OF Var
nell, but 1t is believed it is the result of an
old feud, and that the two prisoners were
killed by friends of Yarnell.
