Dom Pedro Put In Chains at the Geological
Garden.
The keepers of the Geological Garden in
Philadelphia had a long struggle with the
elephant Dom Pedro Saturday, in attempt.
ing to remove chain from around one OF
his tusks and replace it with stronger
one. Dom was purchased in 1876 along
with Empress. He has since grown to be
about six feet tall, and has temper that
grew ugly as be drew strong. A few days
ago tho animal attacked Keeper Pender-
CAST, and would have killed him if En-
press had not interfered. 1t was then
decided to take severe measures with
HIM, and the animal was literally put
in irons. Chains were attached to his
fore legs and run about tho neck. They
were also secured to his tusks, and the
FREQ motion of the head was checked. In
this condition Dom. was chained to the
front of the cage. It was found that one
of the clamps at the tusk was insecure,
and it was decided to replace it. To do
this the animal had to be thrown, and a
rope was first attached to his hind legs.
The rope was passed through a block,
and the chains at his fore feet being held
firmly, the men hauled away slowly but
surely, drawing the elephants feet
from beneath him. He struggled fierce.
" in resistance, but the block and
tackle were too much for him. The
other elephants grew excited as the work
went on, and Jrumpeted wildly at fire.
quent intervals, Empress threw herself
against the bars again and again, as
though determined to 90 to Dom Pedro's
assistance. The animal was finally drawn
down upon his launches, after which the
chain holding the right fore foot was
crossed to the left side of the cage and
drawn t&ut. The difficulty was then to
roll the animal over on his side. Several
men entered the cage and pushed and
tugged at him, but their efforts wore
without avail until rope passed under
his right foot and over his back
efforts. He rolled over on his left
side, giving at the same moment
terrific roar Of rage and chagrin. Keeper
Pendergast then jumped on the elephants 8
head, other men pinned his trunk to the
floor, and in this helpless condition the
iron clamp on the tusk was removed and a
stronger one put in its place. but not
without many vigorous efforts on the part
of the elephant to regain his feet.
When the work was done the chain on the
right fore foot was taken off, and
Dom was permitted to regain an upright
position again, the men jumping off at a
signal from Superintendent Brown. The
foot ropes were then eased, the elephant
stood up once more and was drawn close
to tho front, where his shackles we're taken
from his feet. As he now stands Dom
Pedro is tied by one foot, and his head is
held in check by tho chains t. his feet.
He will be kent in that position until his
temper improves, Or for an indefinite

our care, of building buggies, carriages,

work constantly on hand In building
to order, we will use nothing but first
class material and our work will be done
by good, practical mechanics only, as we
expect to build business not merely
upon what we say but upon the merits Of
what we do. In style and finish our work
will compete with any in the county. Re-

that interests Mr.. Rohrbaugh alone !;
our people are interested regardless

cannot now turn it aside by stale

it this doctrine, silently applied, that

We are making objections to this
detestable doctrine of G. Il. L., and
not assuming a fight for Mr.. Rohr-
baugh he is able to fight his own
battles. This doctrine advocated by
g. e. l.. applies to all who come here
TO reside, and if put in practice
would stop immigration and de-
stroy the prosperity of our country.
We oppose this ostraeizing doctrine
because it is illiberal and mean, and
must do injury wherever practioed.
We have no party or personal feel

promote the best interests CT the
