AN ELEPHANT ON HIS TRAvELs.-The ele-
phsut belonging to the show which exhibited
here on Monday gave scare to the inmates of
the Changers Hotel, Sunday night. He was
fastened in the stable yard by chain, while his
keeper was inside the hotel, writing letter.
The elephant, hearing his masters voice, broke
his chain and marched up to the house. He
was about to ascend the steps when the keeper
discovered and secured him. The incident
alarmed the inmates of the hotel and drove
sleep from their eyelids. 1t is said this elephant
formerly belonged to Forepaugh's menagerie
and was sold because of his viciousness, having
already killed four men. Wien the show peo-
pie left, about O'Clock, Tuesday morning, the
keeper of the elephant, mounted on pony,
went to the corner of Main street and the Balti-
more turnpike, with his charge, to wait for the
rest OF the company. While waiting he fell
asleep and the wagons went in an opposite
direction. The elephant, hearing the wagons,
returned, the pony following, with the man
still asleep on his back. They were discovered,
some time afterwards, near the pavement in
front of Mr.. Rouse's store, the keeper resting
quietly asleep on his horse and leaning against
the side of his elephant He was aroused and
started briskly in the direction the wagons had
taken.

three 81 900 Treasury relief bonds from Mr..
Archer and gave them to Col. Webster. re-
ceiving 1000 in cash and depositing $4,000

and declares that Mr.. Amoss did not give him
the bonds, but brought to the bank Mr.. Geo.
R. Cairnes' check for $4,000, on the face of
which it was stated that it was for three

Senator Paddock, of Nebraska, has intro
duced bill in Congress to make the Commits
sioner of Fish and Fisheries an officer of
the Department of Agriculture, and further
providing that the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture shall have thepower of appointment and
removal of all employees of the commission.
The Fish Commission is one of the few
branches of government work which is not
controlled by politics. As a consequence it
is well managed and the results of its opera
tions are of great value TO the country. 1t
requires scientific knowledge and peculiar
experience to fit man for the duties of
Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, and it
would be great pity to convert this useful
department into political machine, as 1t
would be if Senator Paddock's bill is passed.
A knowledge of the best method of manag-
ing "floaters in blocks Of five" does not con-
stitute the fittest recommendation for work of
a scientific character.

Town ELECTION IN DEL AlR.-Ine annual
election for five commissioners of the town of
Bel Air took place at the Court House on Mon
day. The Judges of Election were Messrs.
Joseph E. Bateman, Isaac Amos and Isaac 8.
Warren. One hundred and forty-ive votes
were cast, the number being greater than ever
before cast at town election. The vote was
as follows:
F. W. Baker 1872, VIM. s. Forwood, Jr., 1872,
George w. Carver 1S3, David Hanway 1872, John
F. Lingan 1873, Allen Hoffman 20, John 8.
Young 10, A. P. Gilbert 9, Jos. E. Bateman 10.
The five first named, being the old board,
were therefore reelected
The WATER ORDINANCE PAssED.-The Town
Commissioners on Saturday morning formally
passed and signed the ordinance contracting
with the Bel Air Water and Light Company to
furnish a supply of water to the town for fifteen
years. The ordinance specifies where mains are
to be laid and fire plugs erected. The Commits
sioners, under authority ola town meeting,
agree to pay the Water Company $500 the first
year, $500 the second year, and 5000 annually
| thereafter, until the expiration OF the fifteen
years. The town further agrees to pay so cents
per foot for any additional mains it may order
to be laid and rental of IS per year for each
additional fire plug. The fire plugs are to be
of the latest improved patterns, and will cost
from $40 to $50 each.
The Water Company have secured nearly all the
remaining rights of way from their spring, near
Rock Spring Church, to Bel Air, and have
awarded the contract for constructing the water
works to Messrs. Harlowe u Co., OF Pittsburg,
Pa. The plant, the company state, will cost
nearly $4,000.
Work will be commenced in very short time.
FINED 5000 AND CosTs.-The Bel Air Social
Literary, Musical, and Dramatic Club was con-
victed at last November term ofcourt of selling
liquor to Edward Jennings, private detective.
Jennings went before the grand jury and gave
information. He testified before court that
having become member of the club he bought
liquor from the bar-keeper or caterer of the club
The case was taken to the7 Court of..Appeals.
The appeal was dismissed and on Monday
Judge Waters imposed fine OF 5000 and costs
on the club, being the full extent Of the law,
and ordered an execution to be issued at once
on the property belonging to the club.
The Sheriff will probably have some difficulty
in finding property belonging to the club suffi-
Gent to pay the fine and costs. In default of
payment of fine the law prescribes imprison-
ment, but whom will the Sheriff imprison? I'm
prieonment of the club would mean imprison-
ment of its members, and it is said there are
nearly 1900 members. The only remedy re-
manning would be to forfeit the charter of the
club. The States Attorney will probably take
action of this kind.

Americas Theatrical Army.

The estimate Of the total number of
people earning their daily bread from
theatrical performances must be some
what changed this year. 1t was said
few years back that these numbered 49,
600, but last year nearly 1900 foreign
actors came to America, and this season
will bring even q greater number, not
counting perfect flock of variety peo-
pie from England and the continent who
will next season make the United States
their happy hunting ground. In the
past two years bevies of young women
have been sent on the stage through the
dramatic schools, one of these alone, it
is said, furnishing 200 new made act
resses that actually found employment.
During this time, although newcomers
are plenty from all sources, but few
have, comparatively speaking, Joined
''the great majority" or been retired; SO,
taking zone consideration with anoth-
er," the professional family at work in
the 1000 theatres and halls throughout
the country when the next season is at
its height will number not less than co.
600. 1t is said that England has dra-
matte family of nearly 10000, the num-
ber being larger than ours from the
reason of the greater number of stock
companies and few number of travelling
companies sent kiting through the prov
inces. They know nothing of the $4,000
miles or more of railroading or its ex-
pense of an American company en- route
from ocean to ocean and from lake to
gulf perhaps in one season.-Stage News.

Dug His Own Grave,

There was strange funeral at the
Trappist abbey, Gethsemane, near New
Hope, KY, recently. Father Benedict,
the abbot and one of the founders, was
buried in grave dug by himself as his
last resting place. He was buried with
out coffin or shroud, wrapped simply in
his monastic robes, with the capote
drawn over his face to protect it from
the clods. The ante-interment ceremon-
les were unique and solemn. Two brother
Trappists, relieved by two others at reg
ular intervals, chanted the psalms of
David over his remains continually from
the moment Of his death until the inter-
ment twenty-four hours later. Father
Benedict. with other French pilgrims,
founded Gethsemane in 1849, and was
the second abbot. In the world he was

Cheating BucoIic Citizens,

A man with a new plan of campaign
has been swindling farmers in Kennebec
county. He came round few weeks
ago representing himself as the agent of
a farmers supply company that pro-
posed to sell to farmers at wholesale
rates. AS the goods were not to be paid
for until received many agreed to take
them. On the appointed day a carload
of -four, molasses, coffee and other goods
ordered arrived. One barrel of -four
stood open for inspection, and a better
quality of that article it would be use
less to desire. The buyers deemed no
further explanation necessary, but loaded
up, paid their money and drove home
But alas! when they inspected their pur-
chases they were not like the decoy bar
rel, but hardly fit to offer to the pigs.
One man is said to be out $40 by the
transaction.-Wat (Me.) Sentinel

Some Unique Dressing Studs.

A man who has just returned from
Europe brought with him two sets of
dressing studs that show forth a new
idea. One set, for himself, was of tur-
quoises, each stud consisting of single
stone set in just the narrowest rim Of
gold. There are two pairs of sleeve but
tons-one large and one small-small
studs for the bosom, two collar buttons,
and, lastly, ring set with one magnif-
cent stone.
The other set consisted of the same
number of buttons and of ring, but in
stead of the turquois moonstones were
used, there being in both sets as little
gold visible as possible-just enough
to carry the stones successfully.-New
