Jumbo Killed.

ST. THOMAS. Ont. Sept. 16.-About
9 o'clock last night, as Barnum's el-
ephant Jumbo and the little trick ell
ephant Tom Thumb were being TAX
en- along the track on the way from
the show grounds to be loaded IN
the car, freight train came up un-
expectedly and caught and killed
Jumbo aud broke one OF the trick
elephants legs. There was side
track on the north side of the main
track which contained all of Bar
NUNS empty cars and on either side
there was an embankment about s
or 10 feet high. When the keeper
saw the train coming he tried to get
Jumbo down the embankment at the
south side. but Jumbo refused to go.
He then attempted to get him be-
tween the side track and main line,
but only partially succeeded. The
locomotive dashed into Jumbo just
as his fore-leg had left the track,
striking him in the right side and
crowding him against the cars on
the siding. He was carried with the
engine about 100 yards. He was so
tightly wedgetl that he crowded the
locomotive to the south side, throw.
ing it off the track. He lived abou,
three minutes.
Jumbo was purchased by Mr.. Bar.
mum of the London Geological Soci.
ETY. in the spring of 1882. He stood
eleven feet high at the shoulder, and
could take down biscuit from q
height of twenty five feet. Jumbo
was about "a years old, and was val.
ued at 100000.

A Suaken Forest.


KENosHA, Sept. 20.-It is said by
fishermen who ply their avocation
off this port that a forest of consid-
erable dimensions exists in the bot.
tom of Lake Michigan, about FIVE
miles distant from this city. Some
years ago it was the custom of
the fishermen of this place to cast
their nets nearer shore, but as the
fish gradually became less plentiful
the fishermen moved further out,
until they encountered the forest of
trees mentioned. and it effectually
stopped them from casting their
nets there. Repeated experiments
fixed the further boundary line OF
the timber something near twenty
miles from shore, to which distance
they now go to cast their nets. 1t
is stated that trees have been known
to wash ashore that have evidence
of having remained under water for
centuries. They were in . perfect
state of preservation at first, but
verv soon decayed after exposure to
the atmosphere. The wood, too,
was of a kind entirely unknown in
this country or anywhere on the
lake.

INDIANA, Sept. 17.-At the June
court Judge Harry White refused all
applications for license to sell strong
drink, and from then until Monday
last Illicit liquor sellers were numer.
Gus in town. On Monday, after
having received assurances of sup
port from the State Liquor League,
the Derr Brothers, proprietors of the
House, began selling whisky and
beer over the bar to all corners.
Their bold action and their claim
that Judge White erred in refusing
license seems to have paralyzed the
active temperance people, and no
action has been taken to stop the
traffic.
The house is thronged at all hours,
but there is no disorder. Judge
White has made no effort to stop
the illicit traffic. The constables
who enter the house are afforded no
opportunity to see the selling. aud
consequently can make no return,
This is the most open and notorious
illegal selling of liquor known in
the State. The Derrs are young
men. They profess to have intluen-
tial backing, and are prepared to
meet any charges preferred against
them.

Let statesman like John Sher-
man allude to the results of the war,
or the condition of the freedmen, or
speak of the discrepancy between

George Hoadly and other renegade
Abolitionists and all the old copper
heads and the little bunch of tabby

shout in unision, "Blo-o-dy shir-r-t." I"
Then all sit down, fan themselves
and nod approvingly to ore another.
I'VE squelched old Sherman that

Then when Judge Foraker in an
exhaustive discussion, covering all
aspects of the political situation,
dwells briefly upon the matter of

precious crowd again, and again
they shout together: Bloody shirt, u

SAN Francisco, CAL. Sept. 15.-
A horrible discovery was made in
Chinatown to o.dav. Information hav-
ing reached the City Coroner that a
frightful stencil was being emitted
from a cellar on Pacific street, he
went to the place. forced his way
into the cellar and found the floor
covered with human skulls and
bones partially covered with flesh
in The advanced stage of decom-
position.
In an inner room the Coroner
found number of Chinese engaged
in boiling down the remains Of
other bodies, while several other
Chinamao were at work scraping
the boiled bones and packing them
in boxes for shipment for China. 1t
is estimated that the cellar contain
ed over three hundred dead bodies
which have been taken secretly
from various cemeteries throughout
the State. giasa
As an instance of Chinese ingenui.
ty it is stated that those in charge OF
these operations, fearing that the
stencil from the boiling pots would
be 80 great as to attract attention
outside, had procured two living
skunks so that the odor of the latter
might overcome that of the human
bodies. The Coroner has taken
charge of all the remains.

Wrecking a Bank,

ERIE, Pa, Sept. 15.-The trial of
President Adam Brabender to-day
for wrecking the Erie County Saw
ings Bank reveals the most gigantic
frauds in connection with the bank s
history. The institution did busl-
ness for several years with quarter
of a million dollars deficit. The
president and the cashier, r. Petit,
now a fugitive and a flourishing
merchant in Canada, had a tele-
phone in closet and there commu-
nicated with broker and gambled
over 100000 of the banks money
away in oil and grain margins. They
finally wound up by checking out
all the money deposited during the
banks last days in favor of their
relatives and then both fled the
country. The wronged depositors
are holding a public indignation
meeting tonight.

Well done, Good and Faithful Servant
Meadville Daily Tribune.

Meadvilie Daily TRIBUNE.
The figures prove that the losses
under the last Republican admins
tration averaged but one and eight
tenths mills to a thousand dollars.
At the turning over of its twenty
four year trust to Democrat officials
the money was counted and the
books balanced and every penny
was found on hand precisely as re-
ported. Was there ever more sub
stantial evidence of the answering
integrity and faithfulness of public
officials than the facts we have men
toned? 1t is a noticeable fact that
since the counting up and handing
over of the funds by the Republi-
cans the cry of turn the rascals out"
has changed, and now there comes
gurgling up, "put the rascals in"
One thing is very evident, the coun-
try is satisfied with the honor and
fidelity of the party that bat
tied for the Union, and if the cleo
ton was to come off again in this
year of grace, 1885, we feel that we
hazard nothing in saying that Re-
publican President would be unan-
imously chosen. The Democrats by
their charges of dishonesty upon the
Republicans. have placed themselves
in a position where their acts
will be narrowly watched by the
people and they will be held to a
rigid responsibility of their steward
ship; anything short of the Repub-
lican record will not be satisfactory,
and it remains to be seen what a f.
ma, accounting by Mr.. Cleveland's
administration will reveal.

NEWARK, N. Y, Sept. 19--Ed-
ward Cahill, a tramp, was shot and
almost instantly killed this morning
by John Mcguire, a watchman in
the employ of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, near the. Waver-
ly Hotel, Clinton township. Cahill
and other tramps had been making
fires near the railroad and in the
vicinity of the cars last night. and
Mcguire had driven them off several
times. At 6 o'clock this morning
Mcguire started for home and Cahill
followed him, using threatening
language, and finally drew knife.
Mcguire pulled his pistol and fired.
As he did so Cahili turned to run
and the ball struck him in the back,
just below the left shoulder, infiict-
ing a wound from which he died in
a few minutes.

Nor content with its efforts to pre-
vent the building of the South
Pennsylvania railroad, it is now
said that an effort is being made by
the p. X. r. to establish harmonious
relations with the Reading railroad,
so as to prevent any competition
between them for the anthracite coal
trade 1t is to be hoped that the
rumor is true, for a homeopathic
dose of this same medicine to the
eastern part of the State will only
serve to arouse the people of that
section to the necessity of standing
by their outraged brethren of the
south and central parts of the State,
in their efforts TO prevent greedy
corporation from setting at defiance
the organic Law Of the State. The
best way to get rid of a bad law is
to enforce it strictly, and the best
way to get rid of grasping monopoly
in Pennsylvania is to attempt a few
more consultations,
