ELEPHANTS ON THE MARCH
In the Streets of New York-Eighteen Nam
moths Create a Sensation.


Special to New York Herald.
Jumbo and eighteen other elephants, big
and little, were taken at about s o'clock this
evening from their special cars in the yard at
Morrisiana whittier they had been brought
from Bridgeport in the afternoon. The
moonlight falling upon their backs as they
stood herded together, made them look like
bank of dark clouds Illuminated above by
moonbeams. They switched their trunks
impatiently, and occasionally emitted snorts
that sounded like the blowing up of steam
pipes in lower Broadway, until Arstin-
gale, who had charge of the herd, gave
the word to begin the march to Madison
Square Garden. They they fell into
line with Chief for their leader Jumbo
brought up the rear and Queen and her year
ling offspring, Bridgeport chained together,
were just in front of him. Men ran about
to warn drivers of teams that the elephants
would claim the right of way The elephants
shuffied across Harlem bridge apparently
without suspecting that they were not on
solid ground. They wheeled out of Third
avenue by the first turn to the right and into
Fifth avenue. Few teams were met on the
way until Seventieth street was reached
There it was decided to turn through Sixty-sec-
ond street into Madison avenue. In that ave-
nue. the street-cars were running at frequent
intervals, and the horses seemed terrified by
the mammoth animals. Near Fifty-third street
the elephants, apparently annoyed by the
antics of a street-car team, began trumpeting
and half dozen of the foremost made a
stampede. Their trumpeting and the shouts
of the keepers as they ran after them made
such din as is not often heard by night in
that quiet neighbour ood. Hundreds of win
dows were raised, the stoops of houses were
crowded, and persons tiocked to the corners
from the side streets. The elephants that
had not joined in the stampede were turned
into a side street. Jumbo behaved we'll His
only breach of decorum was to emit a
stupendous squeal, that chilled the blood of
the servant girls, who had focked to the
sidewalks from basement doors. The main
body of the elephants was wheeled into
Madison avenue again and marched to Fifty
fourth street, where they turned UP to Fifth
avenue again. Those that had stampeded
were brought under control few streets
further down and were turned into Fifth
avenue to join the others.
ut would have taken but little to start
the entire herd on the rampage" said
Arstingale, "and then it would have been a
lively night for New York"
1t was just about two hours from the time
of starting when the herd turned into the
Fourth avenue entrance to the garden. The
distance is not far from five and quarter
miles.

involved in litigation; that McKane's
claim had been sold out, and that he sim
ply wanted to perfect his title to the
property. Alexander is somewhat eccentric
and rather superstitous He was, it seems,
little suspicious, and employed Spence Il
Hiner as his lawyers. They wanted to look
up the mines to ascertain their real value,
but McKane was unmanageable by lawyers
and obstinate. Murphy offered him $1,000,
and, despite the advice of his counsel he took
it, giving a quit-clam deed of his interest in
his brothers mining claim. Spence Il Hiner,
however had their suspicious aroused, and
made inquiries by telegraph, learning
enough to warrant beginning suit against
Murphy, before he left the city, to set aside
his conveyance on the ground that it was OBJ
tanned by false representations. McKane re-
pented of his rashness in giving the deed.
Mr.. Hiner afterward spent some time in
hunting up James McKane taking Alexan-
firm to fight his case also. Mr.. Spencer has
Just returned from two weeks trip to New
Mexico, looking up the legal points in the
case. He found that McKane died possessed
of a clear title to one-half interest in no
less than five mines-viz., the Viola the
Penelope, the Windward the Silver Bell and
the Webster. Murphy had been interested
in securing titles to the first three only and
all of them are located in Grant county, New
Mexico. The first three are worth over
81, 600, 900. and have been improved to some
extent. Murphy transferred his title by a
trust-deed to B. Gratz Brown, of st. Louis,
and John E. Price, of Grant county, New
Mexico Suits were, therefore, begun there
TO set aside their title, and the whole matter
is now in the courts.
The two mines not decided to Murphy are
very rich, but of considerably less value than
the others As Frank McKane owned one
half the property, the sum of 100000 or
whereabouts, is what the brothers expect to
obtain out of it. Besides this, there are the
two mines to which their title is free from
litigation, and each one of the brothers will
get good slice Alexander is a firm believer
in pack of cards, and thinks that by game
of solitaire he can figure out just how much
he will realize on his claim. 1t is related of
him that while down in Indiana looking up
his brother he played euchre continually for
the drinks and never lost game.

MADELINE STILES.
How She Looks, Acts, Dresses, Works, and
Hopes.

Joliet (Ill.) Letter.
A heavy iron door bars the escape of any,
one. In a room on the right, as | entered
were sixteen of the female prisoners, with
their faces toward the barred windows, busily
at work in making stockings Their coun-
tenances could not be seen, but the tidy,
trim appearance of girl at the other end of
the room attracted my attention. Like the
Others she was attifed in blue ard white
Bingham dress, but a lace collar was worn at
her throat, and it was evident that the
woman was not an ordinary prisoner 1t
was Theresa Sturla. whose shooting of
Charles Stiles, caller of the Chicago
Board of Trade last July, created great
sensation all over the country She was
tried on the charge of manslaughter, con-
victed and sentenced to Joliet prison for one
year. Miss Sturla is a very good prisoner,
and Mrs. Ayres, the superintendent of the
female department, says that Theresa is the
most refined and intelligent of any under
her charge. The young woman at the time
of her conviction announced a determine
ton to reform and lead virtuous life, but
old associations are still very strong, and she
has visits from members of the Chicago
demi-monde. Miss Sturla cannot be called
handsome, although rather striking. She
has 1.-THE, welcomed figure, jet black hair
and eyes, with her nose somewhat retrousse.
Her term of punishment will not expire for
eight months but she seems to be we'll con-
tented and does the work assigned to her
promptly ard neatly. The young woman
prefers to be known by the name of Madeline
Stiles, which she possessed when kept by the
lover whom she murdered in the Palmer
House

A MINING ROMANCE.
The History of acknowledgement
Heirs to Immense Fortune.

Fond Du Lac Special.
Suits have been recently instituted by
Spence Il Hiner, of this CITY, concerning
some New Mexico mining property that de.
velops long and interesting story and con-
siderable family history. Spence & Hner
are the attorneys for the saloonkeeper Alex
ander McKane. who is one of the heirs to
mines in New Mexico valued at over 81, 0O0,-
GOO. The circumstances are as follows:
About the year 1871 Frank McKane went
from Indiana to New Mexico, and like near
ly all men who go into mining country, he
located number of claims. He was bach
elor and lived the life of thriftless vaga-
bond for several years, when he opened
saloon. He maintained himself in the bust

consisting of three brothers, did not learn of
his death until short time ago, gentleman
appeared who was DESTROYS of purchasing
their rights in the mines alluded to above
McKane's family consists of Alexander
McKane, of this city; James McKane of CLAW
county, Indiana where he is a collier, and
Samuel McKane, now confined in the In

last was incarcerated for burglary. but pro-

There was also another member of the
family, who, it was reported, died of yellow
fever in the South. He was a fugitive from
justice, and there was $4,000 reward on his
head for murder committed in Texas some
years since.
Shortly after McKane's death II transpired
that some of the mines which he located
were exceedingly valuable, and Brown &
Young, of st. Louis, set about getting possess
sion of them. The Brown of the firm is B.
Gratz Brown, who was a candidate for the
vice-presidency with Greeley. They sent out
Daniel Murphy to hunt up the McKane
heirs and buy them Off Murphy obtained
quit claim deed from James McKane in In
diana for 81 900. He made the same kind of
trade also with Samuel in the penitentiary
at Michigan City. He was some time accom-
plishing his object with Alexander McKane
of this city, on account OF the peculiarities of
the person with whom he had TO deal. MUIR

IN MALE ATTIRE.
Mary Gillick Wears 1t Eight Years Before
She Is Discovered.


st. Louis Special.
When the train on the Iron Mountain
road arrived from Little Rock late last night
some of the passengers told the sergeant of
police at the Union depot that there was
young man who had fallen from the train
and had been hurt. The sergeant entered
the car and found a red-haired youth, dressed
in a much-worn suit of jeans who said that
he was the boy hurt, and he was conveyed to
the city hospital. To the sergeant he stated
that his name was John Paxton. At the city
hospital this morning an examination
revealed that John Paxton was a
woman. In reply to inquiries of the
physician, the patient said her name was
Mary Gillick and that her home is in st.
Louis. For several months past she has been
employed at mans labor disguised IN mans
attire among the gang of workmen at Mill
Spring, near Poplar Bluff, No. Mary says
she has been wearing male attire ever since
she was eight years DID, that once, about a
year ago. she put on girls clothes, and was
arrested and fined for masquerading as a
girl. She is now sixteen years old, and a
fairly good-looking girl. She labors under
the idea that her sex is neutral. but DIR. Dear,
of the hospital, says that there is nothing in
her physical constitution different from that
of other members of her sex. She told the
reporter that she had left her home in st.
Louis because she could not agree with her
stepfather. Her injuries are not serious.

A Picturesque Water Fall.

Newport (Nt.) Express
On the Mouleney river, between the town
of West Haven and the State of New York
may be seen one of the most picturesque
waterfalls in New England. In high water
the river pours over the limestone hedges
more than eighty feet to the basin below,
about sixty feet of which is one unbroken
sheet of water. The roaring of the falls is
heard great distance; when the water is low
the entire current of the river passes through
a subterranean channel and the direct river
