DEATH OF AN ELEPHANT.
-erl,uu,. Betsy Drops in tho stree

About 81 O'Clock last night the performing
elephant Betsy, belonging 10 McFlinn's ten
cent circus, en- route from the tent on Church
Hill 10 the Chesapeake and Ohio depot, lay
down near the intersection Of Broad and
TWenty-fourth streets and soon thereafter
died. Betsy, who was Of Asiatlc birth. was
one OF the best-known elephantsin America
and, indeed, IS said to have been the first ei
her species ever brought here; but this may
well be doubted, inasmuch as Mr.. Charles
Reade, acting as the editor OF Snowman
"reminiscences, relates the story OF the vicious
Empress, who was brought TO the United
States and into VirgInia-City Point, Rich
mond, and PetersbuTg-about 1898.
However, 1t may well be granted that this
deceased had been long a naturalized Ameri'
eau and had appeared before Thousands
yea, millions OF our people. she was Inn
ported by Bsrnum, whe sold her To John H.
Doris for $4,000, and in March she became
the property OF Mr.. McFlnn, who, IT Is un-
derstood, paid for her 800.
Last winter Betsey was unfortunately
much exposed 10 the severe weather, and, II
is said, had her ears frost-biten aud was
otherwise injured, so that her health was
never as good az formerly. An the same,
she did her work In the ring quite satisfacto-
rily until last Tuesday, when she was SO un-
well that she was excused from duty tempo
rarity.
Tradition has II that in her giddy youth
Betsy hadn't the best Of temper; but heI
more recent history attributes TO her amla-
bilitY. She Is said to have been an excellent
performer and was very large.
OF her age there is no positive informa-
tion; but II is guessed TO have been about
piaety.three. II was, however, NOT weight
of years that killed ber. Elephants have a
ha0it Of living Tor centuries, 1t IL said In

Raciur at the Reservoir.

"Two bugcies colllded on the Boulevard
yesterday evening, and one was completely
wrecked Each driver accuses the other OF
rapid driving. A lady was in one OF them,
but was uniniured."
The particulars Of this case are nota hand,
but fast driving Is one OF the curses OF Rich
mond. In nothing do we show our pro-
vincialism so much as in the liberty given
every driver TO imperil the lives OF pedes-
trians and others. such a thing as slowing
down at a crossing IS not the rule; it is the
exception.
At the reservoir a track Is provided for
fast driving, vet racing frequently goes on
on the avenues, and the keeper is powerlcss
10 nreyent Il.
The Common Council passed an ordinance
on the subject, but the Board OF Aldermen
rejected it.
Surely 1t cannot be the design Of the
Aldermen 10 license racing on the avenues
In the grounds!
Here in the city is distinct ordinance
against fast driving.

WASHINGTON, u. c., May iS.--The Repub-

members wish to offer amendments, aud
several who favor the general features OF the
bill declare that they viii vote against it I'M
less permitted to submit certain amendments.

what the BOARD Of Health Has TO
say-rOIiticaI-Per &c.

The citizens Of Manchester would do well 10
heed the suggestions contained in the fol.
loving circular which has just been issued
by the Board oi Health, Of which DR.. 5. l..
Ingram Is president:
"TO prevent sickness and malignant dis
eases, which are liable 10 appear with the
hot season, the Board Of Health again i'm
presses upon the citizens Of Manchester the
importance Of keeping their premises 10
condition OF perfect cleanliness.
"AIl ofal and n0XiOus mater should be
carefully removed every day, no stagnant
water should be allowed on tie premises,
and the daily use Of disinIecianis, such a.
lime and cOp9eras in solution, is absolutely
necessary to keep cellars, out-hOuses, yards,
and gutter, in proper condition.
"Any nuisance beyond the control OF the
owner OF the premises should be at once re-
ported TO the police or TO any member OF the
Board OF Health"
Politics are quite warm In this city. There
ha, not been a municipal election here in
years in which 50 much interest was felt.
The contest l. not an ordinary one against a
Republican ticket, but against a ticket
placed in the field by the Reform
club. most Of whose members are Re-
publicans, and most Of the men on II have
heretofore affiliated with the Democrats.
The Democratic clubs are all well organized
and working hard, with the determination
10 elect the ticket nominated by the Demo-
cratic primary. Both sides are working
hard and present indications are that the pri.
mary ticket will be elected, but TO do so re-
qurcs hard work.
The funeral Of Mrs. Ann +. Baugh took
place from the Broad-StTcet Methodist
church, Richmond, yesterday afternoon, and
was attended by many friends and relatives
from this city. Her remains were Inferred
in Maury cemetery.
