Mr.. Wilson read the constitutional pro-
vision which did not pro ibit a member

ing at such a time.
Mr.. Mccarthy asked il the charter
would not have commercial value.
Mr. Wilson said he did not know of
any commercial value that it had.
Mr.. Baker said the question was not
whether the prot est was proper one or
not, but whether it should remain as a
parC Of the records.
The amendment was adopted % to 9,

from the records. Tue records were then
approved,

pose OF killing the bill and he hoped IL

tised as mucn as any other act that had

While Trying to Escape from aToo Close
Quarters.
NEW YORK, April 20.-In an effort TO
get out OF box stall In which she had
been fastened, at No. $50 Front street, a
valuable young elephant hanged herself
Yesterday morning and was slrangled.
1t was one Of the most curious deaths
that has ever befallen an elephant in cap
tivity--or out OF IL, probably.
Cleats were nailed across the open end
of the stall to a height o. six ieet and
wire netting was fastened above that.
The animal succeeded in wren ching
loose an end OF one Of these cleats early
yes erday morning. It was six ,eet above
the floor. She thrust her trunk through
the opening, aud in some manner
climbed up nigh enough to get all four
feet from the floor and her head through
the opening. Then the cleat isll on her
neck, behind her ears.
She had evidently lost her purchase
with der toes on the cleats below and
had fallen. Her weight prevented her
from disengauing her head, which was
securely held by the Iailen ceat. When
found the brute hung suspended in the
AIR, her hind legs three inches above the
floor. She had died of strangulation.
