AN EXCITING SCENE--ELEPHANTs-
DOSE.

TROY, n. Y, AUGUST 4.-Last night,
after 10 o'clock, the large elephant I'm
peror, of Barnum's circus, refused to fol
low the other animals across the railroad
bridge in the upper part of the city. He
turned and started down River street
followed by three smaller elephants,
The keepers and policemen gave chase,
but the elephants ran faster than horse
could, and going through the principal
business and residence part of the town,
continued together until they reached
Adams street At this point Emperor
was attracted by the light in the Rens-
selaer rail MILL and dashing through
the open passage entered the lower room.
He was followed by his companions. A
panic ensued among the workmen, who
hid in every possible place until the beasts
had taken their departure. When En-
peror got outside he stepped on some red
hot rails, which had just come from the
rolls, and giving an awful roar OF pain,
started up Madison street. The elephant
then entered the brilliantly-lighted steel
works, walking on several red-hot steel
"blooms.'' Maddened with pain, he ran
rapidly to the river jumpedi in, and swan
to Rurnen's blast furnace, half mile
away. His burns caused him frightful
pain, and landing at Burnen's, he knock
co a fence into splinters and rushed IN
to the mill, The men were startled, and
the enraged beast, bowling terrifcally,
chasdd them around. A panic ensued.
Emperor slashed around with his trunk,
throwing fragments of iron all over the
place, and then made his way up Main
Street Over fences and through fields
he tore, until he reached ST. Joseph's
Cemetery. By this time the people OF
that entire section Of the city knew that
an elephant was loose, and they proceed
ed en- masse to the cemetery. Showers
of missiles caused the elephant to retire.
He retired to neighboring oat field, and
remained there until this morning, when
he allowed his keeper to approach him,
aud permitted rope to be passed over
his neck. When Emperor ran away
from bis comrades at the Rensselaer, Iron
Works the others were captured with but
little trouble,

The ENGLISH HOUSE OF COMMONS
The House of Commons during night
sitting presents curious appearance. The
galleries and the Hobbies are nearly de,
serted. Inside the House there are per
haps about 100 members. Some are
asleep, others are talking to each other,
and periodically a smart volley of ''asideS
is interchanged across the floor below the

Two Ocean Steamship and Immigra-
ton bills have been passed by Congress,
and will no doubt become laws, One If
these compels steamship companies to
take reasonable care of their IMMIGRANT
passengers, having regard for their health,
comfort and morals. This bill is in
place OF the one recently vetoed by the
President. An effort has been made TO
avoid the objections raised in the veto.
The other bill compels steamship COM
panies to pay so cents head for every
Immigrant landed in this country, and to
return, at their own expense, criminals
paupers and others who would become
burden upon this country. This is the
bill which caused some ill-feeling in the
House of Representatives Both meas
ures are greatly needed. --1

est in the swindling line, and one of the
ikeliest to deceive, is being worked on
the farmers in this State. Sharp No. 1
goes to farmer and makes him an offer
for his farm at high figure, which is
usually accepted, and $50 or so deposited
to bind the bargain Then Mr.. Sharp's
friend comes along, and offers 81, 900 or
more in advance of the first price. Then
the farmer goes to No. /, and by paying
a good round sum, say $500, secures a

wanted the land SO badly at the highest

TAKES The JAhE,

Capt. J. W. Anderson, of the Brit
ish bark Emanuel Swedenburg, which
arrived at Philadelphia, last Sunday
with a cargo of iron from Spain, is
plainly entitled to whatever glory there
may be in spinning the most audacious
yarn about the Jersey mosquito. Off
Cape May the Captain swears, his bark
sailed into a vast army of mosquitoes,
rayenous from their long fight, which
took complete possession ofthe vessel and
all on board. In five minutes they had
drawn as much blood as ever an old-time
doctor drew from a fever patient, and
within half an hour they had succeeded
in boring through the Captains thickest
winter overcoat, 81 was driven almost
desperate" he declares, "and I climbed
up to the maintop, thinking to escape the
torocious animals. You may know how
glad was when found that they hal
not got upso far. The first mate called
to me to know how it was up there. I
told him to come up and to bring as many
of the men aloft as could be spared This
he did, and there we stayed all night.
When supper time came our Chinese
cook went below and filled basket with
v'ctuals, which we hoisted up to our perch.
es in the shrouds. The men took hour
turns in going down on deck and manag.

feared to venture on the deck. About
o'clock stiff breeze sprung up, and the
mosquitoes began leaving US. Many Of
them stayed on the boat, however, until

THE STRAWBERRY CoNDEMNED.-Th
strawberry has been condemned as
hurtful article of food, and the Judge
who announced the decision is in danger
of being universally adjudged fool. Ex-
Gov. Frank Fuller of Utah, is the de-
luded moral, and he says that "from the
annual strawberry period the most seri-
Gus forms of intestinal lesion date, owing
to the sharp, insinuating, burrowing seed
of the Kerry" Doubtless, he charges
to the strawberry the evil which results
from something else. for tits absurd to
assert that one of the most delicious of
fruits, which every human palate re-
ceives with a sense of pleasure which pro-
nounces it wholesome, can be the
cause of disease. Ex-Gov. Fuller told
the sanita1ian congregation at Green
wood Lake that he believes the time will
come when nothing but the juice of the
strawberry will be swallowed, the pulp
and seed being expelled from the mouth.
1t may be as he predicts, but not until
after the time when men refuse to swallow
the pulp and seed of grapes. Elk Gov
Fuller said some excellent things in his
paper yesterday, but such utterances as
his condemnation of the strawberry bring
contempt on dietarian instruction gener-
ally. There was no good reason why he
should have qualified ais acceptance of
the famous saying, Doubtless the Lord
might have made a better fruit than the
strawberry, but doubtless he never did,"
