MT. Buck!ey,s Accident.

Mir. Fred E. Buckley writes to correct the impression that his jumping out of a window at the Clock shop fire was unnecessary. He says: 'T was new employe at the factory and knew of but one way in and out of it. I started with young man employed in the same room, but thinking we had plenty of time returned for our clothes. By that time the smoke had become so thick and suffocat- ing that we were obliged to seek the win
 dows for aid. He fortunately reached win dow near @ leader from the roof and called to me to come there, but did not hear him. AS to being excited, waited until the flames burst through the floor within few feet of me and there was no other way for me to go except through the window. I was collected enough to realize that if I dropped straight from the window I would strike the fence and without doubt kill myself, so threw my
 self far enough from the walk to clear it

Forepaugh's Big Elephant ssBoIivar',
 Refuses to Enter His Car.
 When Forepaugh's men had nearly com pleted loading their show trains at Philadel phla few weeks since, when the word was given to. drive Bolivar" the giant elephant, into his special car two blocks further on, the smoke and steam of half dozen locomotives and the rumble of many trains startled the great beast. He expanded his big ears and trumpeted. Taylor jabbed him in the head and said, "Come on.' Young Forepaugh punctured his flank and said: sG'longl" The elephant suddenly turned right about, presenting his tail to the railroad, and humping himself like mus tang The men and women realized the sig nificanee of his behavior, and either fled or hid behind the big trees in the gardens on one side of the street. All the small boys in the city were there, but the little girls had disappeared. The driver put his steel hook into the animals trunk, and hung on it. Next he turned it's three-inch point around in the flesh. Later he hung on the hook, and forced it deeper into the yielding trunk. The animal turned again and again. and looked at the noisy railroad yard, and each time turned tail again and refused to be driven. It was an exciting juncture. Young Forepaugh clung to the head, looking the trainer jabbed the big brute recklessly in the flank and sides. The elephant was gath cred in half his natural size. His proboscis was upraised and his tail stood out like the bowsprit of yacht. The people fled in every direction. No boys or girls were to be seen anywhere in the neighborhocd. But in two minutes the cold steel in his front and rear had conquered the elephant, and he tramped across the tracks and up the gang way of stout beams laid on an inclined plane of cordwood into :he special car that had been built expressly for the great brute.
