was entering her berth in the Alfred
dock, at Birlfenhcad. at II o'clock We'd
nesday evening, when q frlghtful
accident occurred. There Is n space
between the vessels and the quay al
lowed for lighters, and by n long
gangway across access is o~btainable
from the quay to the steamer. The
steamer having been berthed, seven
officers of the customs service started
across the gangway toward the vessel.
at the same time about thirty OF the
crew started by the same gangway
for the shore. Tho two parties
met in the center, apparently with
put having noticed each others
approach, and collided with crush

The gangway. The whole OF h two
parties, customs officers and crew,
fell into the water, and tho shouts,

made n scene of terrible confusion and
horror. The spectators hastcned with
belts, buoys and boats to the rescue OF
tho men struggling fol life in the
water, and succeeded in saving all OF
the customs officers and a number OF
the crew. Some of those saved had
been severely crushed and otherwise
injured, and one has since died.
Whether more lives have been lost Will
be known at the pay muster to be held
probably tomorrow. At present nine
are believed to be missing, and n diver

CHICAGO. Oct. ell Windle did not
come out from the east with the other
crack wheelmen who are here ID COM
pete in the fair dedication tournament
at Washington park on the last two
days of this week. However, his ab.
scnce is amply atoned for In tho pres
ence OF other fast men. some of whom
have not been here in two years and
some of whom have never been hero
at all.
1t has cropped out that none OF the
really fast men would venture to put
their heads in the moose set for them
by the promoters of the cash prize
scheme for next season. Zim-
norman was emphatic in declaring
that if they looked TO him for a line of
behavior none of the cracks would race
for money, because he considered that
the success OF the international races
next year would be seriously imper.
lied. even destroyed, il Englishmen,
and other European amateurs who
tako their cue from the Bt.tons, camc
over here and found every good man
racing for cash. 1t is n cardinal prin.
ciplo with them In n far greater de-
gree than anywhere else that money Is
tho root of all evil. International
racing with England u OF it would
dwindle down to a very insignificant
md tame affair. The only people who
would be willing to enter the lists
would be the professional Frenchmen.

ELEPHANT LOOSE IN CHICAGO

Broke n Few Saloon Windows and
Enjoyed Herself In Various Ways.
CHICAGO. Oct. 21.-"Duchess, the 49,
year-old female elephant at Lincoln
park, broke away from her Keepers
and spent several hours roaming about
the streets near the park. carrying
consterna alton wherever she appeared
and breaking windows, doors. gates,
fences and sidewalks. She was mt last
secured by the united exertions of her
keepers and a squad of police, the
patrol wagon and IA part of the north
side fire department.
Duchess is kept during fine weather
in an Enclosure close by the animal
building in Lincoln park. While being
led from this to her quarters in the
building by Keeper Iiedden she becams
unruly, and breaking away started
straight west across the park gardens
and Lake to the street. Arriving at
Clark street she hesitatcd an instant;
then brandishing her trunk she
charged down Garfield avenue. At
Scdgwick rect and Garfield avenue,
Bartholomae e. Leicht's Brewing com.
papy's saloon attracted her attention
anu Duchess demolished the door.
She vas continuing the good work in
the direction OF the SECOND story win
dows when the pursuing keepers nr.
rived and succeeded in distrnctiug her
attention. Griesbach's saloon. corner
Of Garfield and Lincoln avenues, was
tho next objective point. The Gle
plant put her trunk through the
panels of the door and dashed in one
Of tho windows. Right across tho
street is a vacant lot, surrounded by n
high picket fence. Duchess lifted n
t~wenty-foot sectlon Of this fence with
her trunk and entered, and not finding
an exit on the farther side OF the en-
clo5ure walked through the high
board fence. Down Cleveland avenue
She now wended her way. plung-
ing through the board sidewalks Mt
every step. All the time keepers, citi-
zens and policemen were following in
a vain effort to shackle the gu idruped.
Several accidents due 10 frightened
horses were Narrowly averted. Twice
ropes were placed over the elephants
legs and passed around a telegraph,
pole, but broke under the strain. At
last an alarm was turned in and tho
fire department called out to as sist in
the capture.
Keeper lIcddcn succeeded In getting
n rope around the elephants legs and
secured this TO two trees. 1t was
nearly noon when the animal was
safely fastened in her stall 1T the park
quarters She remained in an excited
state the rest of the day.

POISON IN FOOD.
In Old Times n Sharp Watch Was Ker
on the Cooks Dishes

The fear of poison which haunted the
mind OF every person of quality l!ur.
lig the middle ages gave rise TO Ger.
tain curious customs and even to Ger.
tain superstitions, says Golden UIys.
When dishes are now served covered
ii is understood that i. is merely TO.
the purpose of Keeping them warm.
This was not, however, the principal
reason why they were served covered
during the dark ages. 1t was the fear
that poison might be introduced into
them surreptitiously between the
kitchen and the table where they were
TO be served to the kings or The lords
or even TO persons of inferior rank.
The covers were not removed till
the master of the house had taken his
place. All dishes aftcrward served
were brought on the table in the same
manner.
1t was the custom originally when
tho dishes were uncovered for some Of
the servants TO first partake of them.
but this custom was afterwar,l in part
replaced by the servants touching the
food with one or several objects which
were regarded rs infallible preserva-
tives against poison.
These objects were the horn of the
unicorn, a serpent's tongue. he fabu.
lous stone found in the head of thcItoad,
serpentinc, agate. and other stones.
The first was considered tho nest. but
as the unicorn never existed its horn
was replaced by that of the narwhal or
by a sharks tooth, which were sold by
all the druggists instead Of it and un-
der its name.
Many persons kept q small piece OF
1t at the bottom of their drinking
glasses. Unicorn's horn was so. rare
and precious that it was worth more
than ten times its weight in gold.
1t was never proved that the stone
alleged TO come from the head of the
toad had that origin, and the druggists
who sold 1t knew that what they vend.
ed was a mineral drug out of tho
earth, but this did not prevent tho
fraud or put an end TO tho supersti-
tion.
In the time Of Louis XIV. and Louis
XIV. the faith in these talismen had
considerably weakened. but all the
dishes placed OF the royal table were
touched. as well as the plate. the nap
kin, the knife, the fork. and tho tooth
pick OF the monarch, with a piece OF
bread, which the chief of the goblet at
once swallowed.
