HONOR TO JUMBO.
He Died Trying to Save the Baby Ele-
phant.

Buffalo, y. y, papers print the true
particulars Of Jumbo's death, obtained
directly from Mr.. Barnum's representa-
tive, Mr.. Haight. 1t seems that Jumbo
really met his fate while trying to save
the baby elephant. After the evening
show in St Thomas, Ont, the driver
started down the tracks with Jumbo and
the baby elephant, Tom Thumb, to where
the Grand Trunk freight train was stand
ing. There are great many tracks at
that point used in the switching of cars
on the Grand Trunk air line, which there
joins the main stem of the road. On one
side of the track was the train and on the
other was steep embankment AS the
train came around the curve the keeper
tried to induce Jumbo to go down the emf
bankment, but he would not, for what
reason was not at first apparent. The
baby elephant was in the rear and as the
train approached Jumbo began to below
and swing his trunk. The little elephant
seemed dazed, but did not get out of the
way. As the engine was almost upon
them Jumbo raised on his hind legs as
though to protect the baby, and then
quick rs thought dropped down and
grabbed him in his trunk and hurled him
with great force over all the tracks and
against freight car twenty yards away,
where he dropped down whining like a
puppy with sore foot. Jumbo, in saw
tirely neglected his own chance to escape.
The locomotive struck him with full force
in the side, crowding him against some cars
on the siding nearest him and fairly
squeezing the life out of him. When
they came to the end of the switch the en-
glne left the track, and with it five freight
cars that stood on the siding. Then there
was "A scene never to be forgotten by those
that witnessed it. The mangled beast
roared with pain, and the little elephant
roared as loud as he could IN sympathy.
The crush was too heavy to leave any
chance of recovery, and the bystanders
could only wait for Jumbos death. 1t
was not long delayed. In three minutes
he turned over on his back dead. 1t was
found that the baby elephant had sus-
tanned broken leg, and as there was no
help for him orders We're given that he be
put out of his misery, which order was
carried into effect Wednesday afternoon.
The theory of the railroad people is that
the engineer was asleep or doing, for he
did not apparently make any attempt to
stop the train.

BRAINERD'S CASE.


Lawrence Brainerd's bondsmen and
heir attorney are very retcent in regard
10 him. They intimate, however, that
they take little stock in the report that he
/. is in Hamilton, Canada. As to his actual
whereabouts, they say they do not know
with certainty where he is. Every move
is being made to apprehend the fugitive
and bring him to justice. All cores
pondence in regard to it is conducted by
cipher, and the movements of those inter
ested are kept as secret as possible. Mr..
, f. G. Smith. the bondsmen's attorney,
said saturday morning, that they were
bound to get Branerd and would have
him sure at last. He disagreed decidedly
with Senator Edmunds's opinion in regard
TO the right of the bondsmen to take
Brainerd out of Canada. He said the
Senator's view was given as if the action
had been by the government. The right
OF bondsman to take his bail was clear.
This was the ground that the bOndsmen
would take if the question was brought
TO law 1t is evident that the bOndsmen
have some knowledge of Brainerd which
they are unwilling to divulge. boston

SEVEN LIVES WASTED.
A Physician Il uias Himself and
Family by the Use of Cocaine.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Dr. Charles A.
Bradley, "a physician of this city, was taken
to the Washington home yesterday men-
tai and physical wreck, wrought by the inn
moderate use of cocaine. Not only the pa
tient himself, but his entire family, consist
ing Of wife and five children. have been
practically ruined by his excuses. On
Friday, the patient, accompanied by some
friends, was taken before Judge Prender-
CAST. The insane case proper had been dis
posed of and the room was almost clear of
the usual crowd of curious spectators.
There was no jury. and the affair was con-
Quoted as quickly as possible. 1t
was shown that DR.. Bradley, quite
a prominent physician, had been addicted
to the use of cocaine to such an extent as
to render him practically insane. The story
was told that the doctor had under its influ-
ence performed experiments on his family
that have made them physical wrecks. His
claim was that he could inject HORTICULTURAL
without pain, and remove the flesh without
pain to the patient. He injected some of it
into his own arm, and with a red-hot iron
burnt it out without tlinching. Some more
of it he injected into his three-year-old
child, and then with knife cut out the
flesh, the little one apparently suffering no
pain. He used the drug promiscuously in
the family and became himself slave to it,
until in little time his practice fell away
and his family was
REDUCED TO WANT.
Under the influence of the stuff he
claimed he was its discoverer, that it would
revolutioniZe medicine, and the world
would recognize in him benefactor whose
tn tho Ha ho-
came a fanatic on the subject, a wild
dreamer. He mortgaged all he possessed,
even his horse and buggy, to pursue his IA
vorite study. His wife is an invalid. and
his children are ruined in health. Their
condition was heartrending in the extreme.
The scene in the court room was dramatic.
The poor victim seemed to realize his stua-
ton and, suddenly raising his voice to a
high pitch and becoming highly excited,
called on God to help convince the judge
and the physicians that his theory was right.
DR.. Wadsworth testified that he believed
the man insane from the use of cocaine
and morphine, and DIR. r. E. Brown, who
attended him, corroborated Dr.. Wadsworth
and thought DR.. Bradley should be confined
in an institution. They believed him hope
less case of insanity, but as an experiment
suggested that lie be sent to the Washing
tonan home, where his case can be closely
watched 1t was so ordered. He COM
menced the habit about the last of May and
it has grown on him gradually
until its elimination in the ruin
of seven people. Three of the
children were sent to st. Vincents hospital
and his wife and the remaining two chill
dren to St. Joseph's. 1t is considered
doubtful whether any of them will recover
their normal condition.

week, twenty-five the week before and
thirty-three the first week in this month.
The total deaths for this week were seventy,
as compared with 40 last week. In the
suburbs the mortality was forty, fourteen
less than the previous seven days. On the
21st inst. twenty-seven houses in the city
were sealed up and guarded by health

mainder were disinfected, the patients
being convalescent or removed to Civic hos

hospital is 219, which includes patients
from all outlying villages. To perfect iso-
lation and vaccination are attributed the re-
duction in the number of deaths and new

duction in the staff of the health depart
