FUN IN A CIRCUS.
How an Elephant Twisted the Tail of a
Iona stubborn Battle.

How an Elephant Twisted the Tail of a
Iona Stubborn Battle.
New YORK, Oct. 31.--Among the ami
mails on exhibition at the new Grand
street museum in Brooklyn are a large
elephant, which formerly belonged to
COup's circus, and a magnificent lion,
which, for some time, has occupied a cage
adjoining that of the elephant. The fact
that the lion had already killed two keep
ers within as many years had caused the
prOprietOrs to construct a cage which
they considered much stronger than any
OF the others. The elephant never seemed
to like his black-maned companion and
often evinced his dislike by putting his
trunk through the iron bars of the cage in
which the lion was confined and literally
fulfilling Representative Richelieu Robin
sons advice by twisting the latteT's tail.
Early on Wednesday evening the ele-
plant repeated this performance several
times, and the managers feared that he
meant mischief When the exhibition
was closed the elephant was removed to
another part of the building, where the
lion could not be seen. Keeper George
| Goodwin remained in the building after
the gas had been shut off, quietly smoking
a cigar. Suddenly he was startled by the
| Is Us
| hurrying down stairs and glancing in the
direction of the elephant, he found that he
had snapped the chain which held him
and was carrying on just as he pleased.
He was trying to batter down the bars
OF the lions cage. In the dim light
Keeper Goodwin could see the crouching
form and glazing eyes of the lion as he
sprang forward against the bars. He had
seized the elephants trunk, and a fierce
fight ensued. The lion suddenly released
his hold and the elephant quickly grasped
| his opponents leg with his trunk in a vain
attempt to pull him out of the cage. In
the meantime all the animals were
aroused by the fight, and their roars
were plainly heard block away.
SeizIng his sharp steel hook, Goodwin
sprang at the elephant, and, striking him
again and again, succeeded in forcing him
back from the cage. Another keeper
rushed at the cage to beat back the lion.
The great beast on the outside was not,
however, to be quickly subdued. With a
powerful lunge he again dashed his mas
slve weight against the bars. Keeper
Goodwin was thrown down and badly
bruised, but, seizing his prong again, he
forced the hook into the elephants jaw,
which so enraged the animal that it at
once turned upon the keeper, who with
difficulty escaped beyond the reach Of the
huge tusks, which were forced into the
wall behind him.
The elephant was finally secured by
ropes and chains, but not before both his
tusks had been broken and his trunk and
head severely lacerated. The lions leg is
thought TO be broken, and he lay to-day
bleeding and unable to stir. Goodwin is
confined at home from the bruises which
cover every part of his body.

A STRANGE DIsApPEARANoE.
A Singular Scene At "A wedding Party in
Chicago

a Singular Scene At "A Wedding Party in
Chicago
CHICAGO, Oct. 2T.-At wedding party
which occurred this week in one OF the
avenue homes, scene occurred which
the guests neither witnessed nor were
expected to know anything about. The
father OF the bride is inclined TO be weak
in his cups. A small quantity of distill-
ed waters is enough to make him as giddy
as newly-beheaded hen. Then his ordi-
nary reticence gives place TO garrulity,
and the innermOst workings of the wom-
ems minds composing the household are
effectively 'aired.H There had been some
slight grievance in the family due TO a
harmless Irritation between the wife and
her husbands business friend, and pain

made scandalous by the irrational yet
ironIcal consideration which she telt GER
tam her better-halt would give IL, she re-

was time TO toast his new son-in-law- A

However, he did come home Just four
hours before the marriage was TO take
place. In his hunting garb he entered

OF a huge refrigerator While in the vault,
which had not been used TOR some time,
the door was slammed to aud both the
head of the house and the caterers best

As the vault was in the sub-cellar the
pounding and prOtestations of the men,
one real and the other teigned were una
Valling. The lady who was cute enough
10 plan the trap had an eve to business,
and none of the servants found 1t neces-
sary to be in the vicinity of the cell dur
Ing the evening. The marriage bells rang
out with the usual merriment. the bride
was prOverbially lovely and her fathers
absence was an ill-cOnceaed disappoiut-
ment. Finally the festivities came to an
end. The bridal party had gone off on the
honeymoon, the guests had vanished, the
hired servants had gathered up the dirty
dishes, and when all was ready TO shut up
some one raised hue and cry for the man
who packed the wagon.
AS ruse, everybody about the prem

sub-cellar was reached, and finally the
Jail opened on two of the maddest and
most protane inmates that ever was lock-

who received $50 tor his ingenuity, was so
elated that he could not keep his tongue
still. The husband saw through il all
soon, and emphaticaily refuses to pay the
caterer a cent ON account of "the dOd gas
ted trick his measly servants PLAYED on

penses of her daughters wedding recep-
ton the case will be taken into court.

MINING MACnINEs IN USE.

AN INNOVATION ut Pittsburg that is Not
FavOrably Regarded by the Work
men.
PIrTsBURG, Oct. 3l.-This afternoon
several able-bodied miners employed at
Watson's shaft, in Allegheny, applied at
the miners general Office for assistance in
securing work. The officials were some
what surprised, until an explanation was
made that majority OF the miners had
been discharged on account 0fminIng ma
chimes being introduced. They do the
work of several men. Three men with
one machine can mine from six 10 seven
hundred bushels per day. "These ma
chimes will b. introduced into more
mines" said river operator, ''if there is
not a radical change IN the action OF the
miners. / do not believe that coal can be

wanted his mine 10 run steady, aud he

The situation is far from an interesting

lcally passed over the occupation OF

maps might find 1t difficult to make it

German proteetorate over Mexico. To

idea which Jefferson Davis had at the

American countries after the COnfederacy

TAKE WARNING.-At this season of the
year, when so many people become subject
to attacks of biliousness, kidney troubles,
constipation and all the list of troubles that
arise from being housed up, or that are
brought on by colds and exposure, it is the
part of prudence to take warning from the
experience of others and provide ourselves
with the means of escape from similar
troubles. So wide is the fame of Kidney
Wort, that great remedy for all kidney and
liver trouble, that every one knows of its
great virtue for such cases. 1t should be
kept in every household, ready for an
emergency.
GEORGE w. HUTCHINSON, New Haven,
Conn. says: Kidney-Wort completely
cured me of arrangement of the stomach,
liver and bowels"

There is nothing better for biliousness and
kidney diseases than Kidney-Wort."

provinces as attended by the most cruel
and heart-rending Incidents Many OF the
Poles, who are now being driven out, have
been settlers in German territory for many
years, and had thoroughly identified them
selves with local interests. Most of them
went to Posen and Silesia to escape from in
tolerable despotism at home. The DEGREES
of expulsion issued by Herr Won Puttkamer,
German minister of the interior, affects
about thirty thousand Poles resident in
Germany. Eight thousand of these have
already been arrested, without warning. and
conducted to the German frontier by Prus-
sian troops. The remainder of the thirty
thousand ordered out of the empire consist
of those who had obtained permits of set
Element. The decree of expulsion gives
these short respite in order to allow them
time to settle up their affairs dispose of
their property and otherwise prepare for
extradition. Whole villages have already
been depopuated and their refugee inhabit-
ants turned over to the Russian authorities
at the German frontier. Numbers of the
poor Poles are fleeing into Austria to escape
enforced return to the land of their birth.
The news of all this cruelty has cast the
chill of despair throughout Russian Poland.
1t is all interpreted by the Viennese as a
fresh evidence OF the binding nature of the
present connection between Germany and
Russia, and of their united policy to entirely
suppress the Polish nationality.
