Picnic,

Picnic.
WEST POINT, Neb., Nov. 30.-Yester-
day morning an elephant came in on
freight train, consigned to Sonnehim &
Valentine, who intended to use it for adj
vertising purposes. When $500 freight
bill was presented they refused to ac-
cept the goods. The railroad agent
thereupon telegraphed to Omaha for
instructions, and while he was waiting
for an answer the elephant broke loose
and started up the principal street. The
elephant first gutted livery stable and
then crossed the street, knocking in
the entire glass front of Brown Bros.

to brakes drug store, crushing in the
side of the building and doing a large
amount of damage. After holding pos
session of the town for four hours, the
police secured coil of rope, with which
they captured the pachyderm and with
the aid of the entire population the
brute was dragged back to the depot. A
large force of men is now employed

JEFF Davis Slowly Sinking.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 2.-Mr. Davis
continues to grow weaker day by day,
and his physicians and friends realize
the fact that this condition of affairs can
not last much longer. His failure to
take the necessary amount of nourish-

physicians fear his stomach is giving
way. Both his physicians and friends
realize and express the opinion that his
condition under these circumstances is
becoming alarming.

A WAVE OF FLAME
Sweeps Over the City Of Lynn,
Massachusetts.
A Square Mile of the business Portion
Burned Over, with an Estimated
Loss of ten Million.

LYNN, Mass, Nov. 2T.-Lynn, the city
Of shoes, was visited yesterday afternoon
by the greatest fire in its history, and,
with two exceptions, the conflagrat1on
is the most disastrous that has ever
visited New England. The exceptions
are the great Boston fire Of 1879, which
destroyed 500, 900, 900 worth of property,
and the Portland fire of 1866, which
caused loss of between $40, 600, 900 and
S12, 200, 900. Yesterdays fire started at
1855 a. M, ragged over eight hours,
devastated square mile of the bus
mess section of the city, and caused
loss estimated at about 0,000, 600.
In fact, the greater part of Ward Four
Is wiped out, as regards the important
shoe manufacturing blocks and prom
inent places of business. The fire
started in Mowers wooden building on
Almont street, over the boiler, and
spread with such rapidity that the fire
department of the city was powerless to
cope with it. This large wooden build
ing was soon doomed and the
flames leaped across narrow pas
sage way, and communicated with
the six-story brick block, known
as Movers Block. When the
fire in these two buildings got we'll un-
der way it was evident terrible confla-
grafton would result. Almost stimuli
taneously the four-story wooden shoe
factory of Bennett g. Barnard, on Cen
trail avenue, and the four-story wooden
building on Almont street caught fire,
and after time hurricane of flame
was in progress, which blanched the
cheeks of all the spectators. For eight
hours the flames had full sway,
the efforts of 6remen and citizens
seemingly being of no avail,
although of course they did valuable
work. The burned territory includes
and is bounded by the following streets:
Almont, Central avenue at its junction
with Willow; Union, from its junction
with Broad to the B9den Block, on
both sides; Mt. Vernon street, entire;
Beach, on both sides as far down as Lees
lumber yard; Washington, from Monroe
through to Union; Railroad avenue; all
of Exchange street; Broad, from
the engine house on both sides
as far up as the corner of Exchange;
Spring street entire, besides dwell
ing houses too numerous to mention on
Suffolk, Amity, Sycamore and Reach
streets. Aid arrived from Boston, Salem,
Marblehead and surrounding towns. but
their united efforts seemed to have little
effect on the hurricane of flame. Scenes
of the great Boston and Chicago fires
were re-enacted in all their horrors.
Mothers fleeing with babes in their
arms, express wagons loading at bus
iness and dwelling houses and transfer
ring goods to place of safety, in many
cases second removal being necessary.

The New Senators.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The first busi-
ness of consequence before the Senate
will be the distribution of the six Sena-
tors who will be present from the new
States into four six-year classes. Where
single new State comes in this is
easily settled by lot. But if six cases
were submitted to lot the result might
disturb the constitutional relations of
the two classes. 1t is likely that the
matter will be referred to the Commit
tee ON Privileges and Elections.

Suicide of a Judges Son.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Frank MacAr-

the son of Judge Arthur Macarthur, Of

by jumping from the limited express on

All That Have Bccn Recovered at tho
Minneapolis Fire, but Others are Known
to bo In the Ruins.
MINNEApoLIs, MINI Dec. 2.-Twelve
human lives and 100000 worth OF
property were sacrificed by a fire Satur-
day night, that originated in the Union
League, on the third floor of the Minne-
apolis Tribune Building. The fire was
discovered shortly after 10 o'clock by .
District messenger, and almost before
an alarm could be turned in every door
and window of the immense seven-story
building was belching fire and smoke.
There were upwards Of eighty
men, including the editorial staff
and force of compositors at
work on the seventh floor,
and these were penned in like sheep by
the sheets of flame that separated them
from the elevator and stairway. Then
began frenzied stampede for the win
dows and roof. Meanwhile the Fire De-
partment had got ladder up to the
sixth floor, and from there thirty or
forty men were taken out of the build
ing and landed on terra firma. Those
who were on the roof dared not descend,
and several jumped to the roofs of ad-
joining buildings and escaped with a
few bruises. DR.. Olson, president of
the University of Dakota, at Vermil-
lion, was among those on the roof,
and, seeing all cans of escape cut off,
he essayed to jump to an adjoining
building. He slipped and fell to the
ledge of the window on the sixth story
and from there to the ground. He fell
head foremost and was instantly killed,
every bone in his body being broken. j.
f. Igoe, night operator for the Associ-
ated Press, stuck to his post until it was
too late to escape. He was frightfully
burned about the head, and in his agony
he, too, jumped from the burning build
ing and was killed. Agent Miles, of the
Associated Press, whose home is in De-
troit, Mich, attempted to follow Igoe,
but fell back into the crater of flame
and was burned to crisp. Milton A.
Pickett, reporter, was caught with
companion named Pierce, on the stair
way, and there they were roasted to
death and subsequently crushed to a
pulp by falling timbers. While the fire
was at his height j. McCutcheon ap-
peared in one of the windows of the
composing room and jumped into a net
held by the firemen below, the weight
of his body carried the net to the stone
pavement, and he died in few minutes
after being picked up. A few mo-
ments after he had jumped an
other of the printers appeared at
window on the opposite side of the
rooms. He was told to wait moment
and ladder would be sent up to him.
He appeared to be crazed by fright,
however, and instead of waiting pulled
a revolver and, placing the muzzle to
his head, fired. The report was heard
in the street and the man was seen to
drop to the floor. His name could not
be learned. 1t was rumored that an
other man had also shot himself, but
this report could not be verified. There
are are doubtless several people in the
ruins, but just how many will not be
known until the debris is removed.
