What Came of Playing a Practical joke

BoloSsy kiralfy, who is making excava-

Royal to assist in doing the heavy work, F"

others in building the 400 feet of stage,
wanting to have some fun, placed q large
firecrackeT under the hind legs of the
monster and awaited results.

there was a wild elephant and a stampede
by some fifty or sixty men. Royal gave
vent to a roar of terror, surprise and rage.
and, with trunk elevated in air, plunged in
the direction Of the main building.
Fortunately the keeper of the animal did
not lose his presence of mind, and with
hook in hand made after him. Before he
could spear him, however, Royal had
trunk be ripped off about fifty feet of fancy
railing, which lie flung over the edge Of the
Palisades.
Then, with the keeper hanging on to the
hook that was fastened to his ear, he
trampled over the beautifully laid out
flower beds. causing about $500 worth of
damage, and was only brought to SubmiS-

Wild Scenes Of Disorder in the
Italian Deputies,
Several Members Injured in a General
SCufl8 in The Chamber.
Parliament Finally PrOrOgued for the Sum-
me, Months = Renewal Of the
DTeibu1d Asserted
Specialize THE MORNING CALI.

ROME, June 2S.-There was another scene
Of wild disorder in the Chamber of Deputies
when the foreign policy of the Government
came up for consideration. After a few
preliminary skirmishes Admiral Brin. eX-
Minister Of Marine, who was speaking yes
terday when the sitting had to be sus-
pended on account of the tumult in the
Chamber, rose TO proceed with his foreign
INTERPOLATION, but be was met with such a
storm of Radical protests that he was only
able to repeat the text of the Interpolation.
Premier Rudinl then arose. and declared in
emphatic terms that the Government would
adhere firmly and stolidly to the Dreibund,
adding that Italy and Europe might rest as
suTed that these alliances would be main
tained and European peace would long be
preserved. With this the whole House,
with the exception Of the Extreme Lett,
rose and cheered long ana heartily.
After further pickering some deprecatory
illusions made by Martino excited the an
ger of the Radicals who sprang from their
seats, gestiCulatjng wildly, and drowning
the voice of the speaker With their voices
Caya.ettI made a rush al Martino, and
would have struck him but for the interfer-
ence Of friends, who parted the two men.
Every member stood shouting, disputing
and menaCing III the widest manner.
In the midst Of the confusion Sign0r SON.
niHo threw a bundle Of papers in Sign0r
Cavaletti's face, and the latter rushed to
attack Sonnino, when friends interfered. A
general scutfle then took place. Oaly the
Ministers remained 10 their seats the whole
House seeming to be transformed into an
arena crowded with combatants, In the
scuffie several Deputies were more or less
badly hurt To-day's scene is unprecedent-
ed in the history Of the Chamber of Depu-
ties.
Finally the President, finding himself IN
able to pacify tie members. abruptly sus-
pended the sitting. When the sitting was
resumed Cayalctti, Signor Boyio and the
President Of the Chamber appealed for
concord, and all three were enthusiastically
applauded BY the House. Finally Parla-
ment was pUUTogued for the summer.
LOliniOne says that Rudini's statement
in the Deputies is interpreted to mean that
the renewal Of the Dreibund is an accom-
plished fact.

A TERRIBLE RIDE.
Trainmen Besieged by Mob of Infuriated
Drunken Negroes.

Drunken Negroes.
A dead man, with the blood rushing from
a bullet-hole in his Dody, frenzied mob Of
colored men raging like wild beasts for the
life of his slayer. while Il little crowd Of
trainmen stood with drawn pistols between
the furious horde and their comrade who
had done the shooting
This was the scene on a Louisville and
Nashville train moving at the rate of fifty
miles an hour says a Louisville special to
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The train carried a colOred excursion
from Frankfort to this city, and consisted
of six coaches packed with both sexes and
few white passengers, who took advantage
of the opportunity TO reach to this city. w.
Wilder was the conductor and E. B. Grant
the brakeman In charge. Many of the col
OTed people were drunk, and the diSQrderly
element, under the lead Of Carl Taylor a
gigantic black under indictment for at
tempted murder at Frankfort soon became
very bOisterous. Nothing serious occurred,
however, until ST. Matthews Station, about
ten miles from Louisville, was reached. At
this point Taylor tried to enter the closet
and, finding the door locked, began to kick
ii in, and had SplinteTed several panels when
the conductor and brakeman entered. They
demonstrated with him, when the furious
negro turned aud struck Wilder heavy
blow in the face.
As the conductor fell the brakeman cried,
Look out, he's going. t0shootP and look
ing up he saw Taylor reach for his pocket.
Quick as a flash the conductor drew his
pistol and fired pOint-blank into the fellows
body. In an instant the ear was in an up
roar Maddened by the sight of the blood,
the drunken crowd made a rush for the con-
duetor, and bullets flew like hail from their
rev0lvers. The cracks OF the pistols, the
screams of the women and the yells of the
c0mbatantS made a perfect pandemOnium.
Under cover of the smoke the two white
men escaped to the baggage-car.' The
trains whole crew was summoned, and,
placing the conductor inside, stUod with
drawn pistols and their backs to the door aud
held the mob at bay.
The engineer was notified, aud putting on
full steam the train fairly flew OH its way
to the city and police protection. Every
moment lost might cost the lives of dozen
men, as the mob pressed upon the little
group on the platform and swore they
would have the conductors blood at any
cost
In few minutes the train swept into the
city, and as it whirled down to the depot
the mob saw their Danger and began to leap
from the cars and escape. The depot police
men at once entered the cars, but the ring
leaders had fed. The dead man lay upon
the floor, aud an examination showed that
the conductors bullet had entered the ab-
dOmen, seVering an artery and causing in-
stant death His pistol, which his hand
still clutched, had caught in his pocket.

A BIG DYNAMITE BLAST.


One Witnessed Recently In the Gala
han Quarry at South Bethlehem.
On high cliff at South Bethlehem, n. Y,
recently there assembled a crowd of people
numbering over 5000 persons. They ex-
pected to witness the greatest dynamite
blast on record. 1t was pro- osed to rend in
fragments the big limestone quarry of Peter
Callahan of Albany by the use of giant pow
der. Governor Hill, Mayor Manning of AL
bany and the members of the Common
Council of that city with other wel-known
persons were present. But the gigantic
blast promised did not take place. The
1877 big dynamite cartridges which had
been placed thirty feet deep in the
limestone quarry, twenty feet apart,
were connected by four insulated wires
with a switchboard. When the signal was
given Miss Helen Callahan, the daughter of
the owner of the quarry pressed the button,
but no explosion followed. 1t was said the
wire had been cut, probably by discharged
employe, but an investigation failed to es-
tablish this, and it was thought the wires
were defective. Mr.. Callahan and an cleo
trician soon, with other employees, went to
the quarry and attached fuses to the cart
ridges. BY this means they were ignited
and series of explosions followed, each of
which was heard for miles. The effect was,
of course, by no means as startling or as
impressive as it would have been were the
blasts all fired at once. The work was
done, however, and the big ledge was
rent into splinters. 1t was estimated
that $4,000 tons of rock was dis
placed. Immense boulders were hurled into
the air, only to fall back and be broken into
fragments on the rocks below. A reporter
visited the scene after the last explosion.
Immense assures has been made in the
quarry, while scattered all over the grounds

Beer as a Fire Extinguisher.

A Ballston IN. Y) paper gives curious
account of fire that was extinguished by
lager beer. The story runs in this manner !:
"Among some freight put into a car at
Schenectady for this place was case Of
common matches and barrel of bottled
lager. At some place or other the jar OF the
car gnited the matches by friction and they
began burning and but for curious cir
cumstance would doubtless have destroyed
the entire car and its contents. The barrel
of beer was located near the matches and
caught fire at once, and as soon as the ma
terial in which 1t was packed began to burn
it made hot fire, which heated the beer
and caused 1t to explode, and flying beer
extinguished the flames aud saved the car
and contents"
