An Elephant Escapes From a Circus and
Terrorizes Indiana Farmers.

An Elephant Escapes From Circus and
Terrorizes Indiana Farmers.
INDIANApoLIs. Ind, Dec. 23.--The farm
ers of Montgomery county have been OK
ceedingly uneasy for several days over the
fact that an elephant was at large in that
locality. A few nights ago he was discov.
cred in the barnyard of William Fordyce,
near Charlottesville. The next morning
the place was found to have been wrecked,
fences broken, corn cribs Rutted aud every
thing was in devastated condition. Dur
ing the night the elephant left the place,
taking several panels OF wire fence with
him. He was traced to awamp near BY,
but no one cared to disturb him. That
night night he returned to Fordycs's place
and slept in strawatack. The presence OF
the elephant alarmed the neighhorhood.
and watchers were detailed to keep track Of
the animal III order to alarm the farmers
should he attack any farmhouse.
Saturday night Manager Gray. of the
Great American circus. with two men, ar-
rived here from JefferHonville, and, with
many town people. went out to Fordyce'g,
where Keeper Newman recognized the sle-
phant as ''-ultan.' ono OF the largest and
tiercsst of his herd. Tho gang of showmen
attacked him with pitchforks and pfods,
and finally forced him into the barn. The
building was nearly wrecked, and the
brute's howls could be heard distance OF
four miles. He was finally captured. "Sul-
tan" escaped from the circus last Tuesday
at Waynestown.

GIBSON'S SUCCESSOR
Gov. Foster, of Loaisians. May Appoint
Relative.

Gov. Foster, of Loaisians. May Appoint a
Relative.
WAsnIauroN. Dec. 23.--The unexpired
torn Of Senator Gibson will be filed by ap-
pointmsnt by Gov. Foster. who will prob
ably name the SUCCESSOR shortly after the
holidays. The Louisiana delegation in con-
Rress believe that the governor will honor
Mr.. Dan Caffery with the appointment.
MIR. Caffery is relative of Gov. Foster and
most intimate friend. IL is understood
tina. in the last senatorship fight In that
state, which was q most memorable con-
test. lasting sixty days and then accom-
plishing nothing, owing to the statutory
limitation of the Legislature. Mr.. Caffery
had the support of Gov. Foster. IL is
thought the latter will do every ythng he can
to advance the interests Of his intimate
friend and relative. The objection is raised
that the appointment OF Dan Cutlery would
be bad politics owing to his resi-
dence in the southern part of the
state, as this would leave the north
ern portion unrepr esented. In regard
to the final SUCCESSOR Representative
Blanchard is looked upon as having the best
chances. The election will take place in
May, 1894, and the term of Senator Gibson
would have expired March, 1895. Mr..
Blanchard comes from the northern por-
tion of the state. and it is almost a Ger
tainty that a man to represent that section
will be chosen. He was strong anti lot
terry man and has been successful in obtain
ing legislation especially beneficial to his
state.

brother Mike. He finally demanded some
money of his brother, who Rave him dol
lar. This he spent at the bar and then de-
manded more. which WAS refused. He
abused his brother again and thought some
one in tho saloon had called him by q vile
ephithet Quick as n flash he pulled

in the direction of four or five men who
were playing cards. who called me son
of b--?" he demanded. fourishing his
revolver. He repeated the question and
everyone at the table got up and ran.
Among them was Tim Quinn who walked
over to the bar. Holland pointed the re-
volver at Quinn and ordered him back to
his seat. He did this three times, when
Quinn lowered his head and started toward
Holland, as though to butt him. Holland
commenced shooting. Five shots were
fired the fourth taking effect. Quinn stag

land coolly replaced tho revolver in his
pocket and walked unmolested from the
saloon. Quinn died in few minutes

Red German Sets Too Hot n Pace for Him
in tho Fifth
A good six round 90 took place at the
Coliseum last night. between Jim Lovett,
of Canada, and Reddy German, of Min
neapols. Both men weighed about 1s0.
Jim Burns and Charles Eyton were in Cor
mans corner, and Chick Rogers and Micky
Slavin seconded the Canadian. Frank
Freeman was the referee, and Sid Hunting
ton held the watch. Go,man was tho ag-
gressor from the start, and repeatedly
upper cut Lovett on the mouth and nose
with his left. In this round German
landed hot one on the neck. There
was clinch in which German was forced to
the ropes near the end of the round. The
next round German savaqely worked his left
like piston rod on Iovett's face and
wound up with rush landing heavy
right on the ribs. THIS seemed to wake
the Canadian up. He put in a hard right
on Gorman's wind. Even exchanges of the
lefts and rights marked the opening of the
third followed by clinches. The round
ended with right swing on Lovett's neck.
Heavy s!ugging opened the fourth with
clinch. After the breakaway German
landed heavy right on Loyetts ribs. He
looked groggy. G~man upper cut him
with the left as the round closed.
In the fifth Loyett looked dazed. Again
the left uppercut Lovett tried tho
pivot blow and missed. He swung
wildly with both hands and re.
ceived heavy right on the body.
Lovett was shaky on his feet az he went to
his corner at the call OF time. More upper
cuts from German greeted Lovett in the
sixth. 1 he red d-headsd man from Minne-
npolis landed on his neck With right and
left. Lovett eountered, but there WAS no
steam in his blows. and he was almost out
at the call Of time. In the next round he
refused to 90 on and WAS counted out. Ref
cree Freeman said they had agreed to fight
another round if neither was knocked out
in six rounds. He gave the fight to Cor
man, decision which gave satisfaction to
q big crowd of sports.

Contested Elections in Kans.,.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 23.-Suits against five
republican members-elect of tho lower
house of the legislature wers brought by
the populists to-day in the supreme court
in the shape of mandamus proceedings.
The court to-day passed upon only one
case, that f,om Haskell county, where
Stubbs, republican, was given q certificate
OF election by mistake, the figures showing
the election of Rosenthal, populist. The
court ordered the canvassing board to re-
convene and reetify the error or to show
cause, Jan. 3. why it does not obey the
courts mandate. The other four cases will
be passed upon probably tomorrow. The
populists have determined to bring the
other other suits agsinst five republican
postmasters who were elected to the lower
house. The basis of the suit is that pro-
vision in tho sthte constitution forbids the
election to moro than one public office of
one man. lhe republicans hope to meet
these suits by inducing the five members
elect to resign their federal positions

Panama Affairs Exciting Interest at WASH
ington-A Protest.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The federal gov
ernment has at last taken step in the Pam
anna affair. From source very near the
head of the administration it is learned that
as result of the last cabinet meeting. when
the unprecedented action of refusing a
through bill of lading to American ships
across the isthmus was considered a cable
has been sent to the government of Colom-
bia. 1t requested that no steps be taken
looking to the extension of time within
which the Panama canal must be completed
until our government has an opportunity to
be heard upon the subject. The informant
states that the cable had something to say
as to the evident antagonism Of the presen.
management of the Panama railroad to
American interests. It is said that the
President and the cabinet are a unit as to
the proper line of acticn to be pursued in
this matter. The state department. will i'm
mediately take steps for the preservation of
American interests in Panama. and within
few days vigorous protest will be sent to
Colombia against any intercession on the
part of that republic in favor of the PAN
anna company.

Precautlon Against Cholera.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Surgeon General
Wyman, of the marine hospital service. in
answer to questions as to the danger of the
temperance of cholera the coming sum-
mer. snid: 1.-Two factors render the situa-
tions serious. One is the appearance of
fresh cases in Hamburg and the other
the continued prevalence of the dis
case in Russia. Great care has been exer-
cised to prevent its gaining foothold on
this side OF the Atlantic. The speedy pas
sage of the bill giving clearly defined pow
ers to make precautionary regulations,
with sufficient ap ropriations to make
them effective, is extremely desirable. De-
spite efforts to stop immigration from in
fected countries, emigrants from those
countries are persistent in their efforts to
reach the United States. There ID also
danger OF cholera reaching the United
States from the island of Cuba, because of
the close commercial intercourse between
Cuba and Spain and other European ports
The regulations of the circular of Aug
10 regarding the importation of rags"
Wyman snid. had been enforced, all re-
ports TO the contrary notwithstanding.

Father McGlynn Restored to His Priestly
Functions.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-The famous case
of Father MoGlynn has finally been decided
by restoring to him authority to perform
his priestly functions. The settlement of
the case came within the scope of general
power vested in Mgr. Satolli. papal legate,
and the decision was promulgated by him
o-niRht at the Catholic university, whore
he is stopping. Father Burtsell has been
pleading MeGlynn's case for some days and
Mgr. Satolli presented a statement to Nc
Glynn of concessions required to be made
by him in order that his plea might receive
favorable consideration. Mgr. Satolli ls-
sued the following tonight:
ITO the end that that many contradic-
tory kilograms may not be sent out il ia
thought expedient to state that at nine
o. o'clock p. M. DIR. Glynn was declared free
from ecclesiastical censures and restored to
the exercise of his priestly functions, after
having. satisfied the pops's legate on all
points in his case"
Whether or not MoGlynn will return to
his old fold, st. Stephen, is not yet known.

FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.

VIII Be Taken Up Soon After the Holi-
day Recess.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-There is to be an
organized effort in the house after the hol-
days to bring abodt some sort of financial
legislation. 1t will probably take the shape
of an attempt to repeal the Sher man law.
The opponents of free coinage believe that
this is daily menacing the securities of the
government and is inevitably leading to
gigantic losses. On the other hand the
friends of silver are not less active and ex-
pect to see free coinage bill forging to tho
front before many days of the new year are
passed. Stewards amendment to the bill of
Hill, which provides for the repeal of the
Sherman act, makes that measure practic-
ticaly free coinage bill. Stewart thinks
when it comes to vote it will pass.
