HR KILLS MS KEEPER AT NASHUA, y. II.
Many OF our readers who attended Bar.
NUNS show at Danville, a few weeks ago,
will remember the large elephant that led
the performing herd in their drill. The
following despatch from Kecnc, N. H.,
shows that he has come to a sudden end:
KRRNR, N. H., July 20.-The huge cle-
phant Albert, belonging to the Barnum
show, killed his keeper, James Mccormick,
professionally known as james Sweeney,
at Nashua, N. H., on July 1S. Sweeney's
body, inclosed in an elegant casket, was
shipped to his relatives at Manchester.
The entire Barnum company, headed by
the principal band playing appropriate airs,
escorted the body to the depot and paid
the last respects to their dead comrade, at
six o'clock this morning. The ceremony
was an imposing one and was witnessed
by many residents.
During the afternoon performance Of the
circus Mr.. James S. Hutchinson, one OF
the circus managers, announced that as the
oiSPhout hhu ahCu lliC uS ouOulu
be shot Immediately after the performance
| and requested any members OF the KeeEe
Light Guards who might be in the audience
to report to their captain at the door of the
museum canvas. At 4:30 p. IN. the giant
Albert, loaded with chains and preceded
by the head trainers, Arstingstall and New.
man, marched forth from the menagerie,
followed by thirty. three riflemen and nearly
all the members Of the show. The process
sion crossed long field aud passed down
into long ravine near the river. Here
the elephant was securely chained to the
trunks of some large trees and tht riflemen
were drawn up in line fifteen PAGES from
his head and side. At this stage Of the
proceedings the great animal seemed to in.
stinctively feel that something unusual was
about to occur, for he began to trumpet in
a truly piteous manner.
George Arstingstall, the trainer, drew a
one around the brain as targets for the
sharp.shooters. The commands "ready,
aim," were given. Arstingstall cried "Al-
bert" the monster raised his head in obe-
dence to the last commnnd OF his keeper
and as the word 'fre," accompanied by
the report Of thirty-three military rifles
| rang out, the animal fell dead in his chains
without struggle or cry. The execu.
tion was witnessed by fully 1000 people,
who gave great shout as the man-slayer
fell. Albert was an Asiatlc elephant and
leader OF the performing herd. He was
next in size to Jumbo and has, until quite
recently, been considered one Of the safe
est of the herd. A telegram was sent to
the managers of the Smithsonian Institu.
ton Museum, Washington, by Messrs.
Barnum, Bailey and Hutchinson donating
| the remains to that institution. The au'
thorities answered Immediately that they
would send men to take charge, and
thanked the donors for the present. Albert
had been with the Barnum show since its
| consolidation with the London show, and
had made tour of the world with the lat
ter institution and was valued at $l0, 600

sufficiently frightened that he imagined
that he was stung and that he experienced
terrible pain when thinking of the circum-
stance for several days, but, in reality, had
no pain at all.

Of which there are nine.
OF course the old rotten system Of run

cal machine must be reformed The sys-
tenn of having top-heavy organization OF
foremen, and few mechanics who 'sol-

protection must be reformed. The Bu-
reaus in the Department which have con-
nived at the fungus growth OF abuses that
have made every navy yard leech on the
public treasury must be reformed. As
soon MS navy yard work is managed on
business principles the Navy Department
can build ships and engines and fabrcate

articles by contract. II has a plant of
great value on which interests and profits
need not be earned. 1t has large num-
Der OF highly educated officers who can
do work for which every private ship
builder must pay. When political inter

yards to get the best mechanics. To argue
that the Government cannot build ships or
guns Is to plead the baby act and TO admit
there will be no honest attempt to reform
the abuses which have destroyed the use
