FRENZIED BY FRIGHT.
A CIRCUS ELEPHANTS STRANGE
ACTIONS.
She Escapes From Her Keepers and
Roams Through ths Streets of San
Francisco-A Rat in the
Animals Trunk.

SAN FRANcIsoo, Oct. 5.-The reason
for the strange actions OF Jess, the cir
Gus elephant, which went on q rampage
early this morning. and, after breaking
her fastenings and nearly wrecking the
circus, rosmed through the streets of
San Francisco, has been discovered.
Jess has always been perfectly docile,
and could be handled by any of the
circus people. While she was being
pursued through the streets this morning
by her keepers, they noticed that the big
animal acted as if frenzied by fright.
Finally when she allowed them to come
near, one OF the keepers noticed some
thing protruding from her trunk. He
pulled it out and found that it was a
live ret. The elephant had been lying
on the ground asleep, with her trunk
stretched in front of her, and it is sup-
posed that the rat ran up her trunk.
The animal contracted the muscles OF
the trunk and held the rodent fast
When the rat had been removed the
elephant showed signs of great satisfac-
ton and made no further resistance to
being led back to the circus.

FoULLY MURDERED.
The Body of n Portland Man Found In
the River.

The Body of Portland Man Found In
the River.
PORTLAND. Ore., Oct. 5.-Tne body OF
George w. Sayres. who has been miss
ing since the night OF September Goth,
was found floating in the Willamette
riuer this morning. On the head were
found elk wounds inflicted by sharp
instrument. The face also bore MARKS
OF severe punishment, particularly the
right eye, which was almost driven from
the aocket. The right hand, also. was
badly cut. The body also bore other
evidences going to prove that Sayres
had been murdered and thrown into the
river. On the night of Sayres' disaps
pearance. an unknown man called at
Sayres' house at Fulton park, about 9
p. m. Sayres stepped out OF the house
and briefly conversed with his caller.
Re-entering the honse and taking his
hat he again stepped outside, telling his
wife that he would return in few
minutes. That was the last ceen OF him
by his friends.
This afternoon the police arrested Bob
Garthorn, one OF the informers in the
recent opium smuggling cases Joseph
(Bunco) Kelly, George Powers. a sailors'
boarding house runner; Paddy Lynch,
an ex-convict, now under indictment for
receiving stolen goods; John Carroll, a
North End rounder, and John Burns, a
iaboring man, on suspicion that one or
more of them could throw some light on
the crime. They were examined by the
chief of police and the district attorney.
Burns confessed to having been hired
to do the deed, but after going upon the
errand several times his courage at last
forsook him and he refused to carry the
act into execution. The other evidence
that came out justified the district attor-
ney in filing informstions against Bunoo
Kelly and Bob Garthorn, charging them
with murder, and they were committed
without bail.
The murdered man was deeply in
volved in litigation and few days ago
Mrs. Sayres told friend that man
named John Burns had called at the
house three times to see her husband
but he was not at home. Her husband
subsequently told her that Burns repre-
sented man named Kelly who prom
ised to advance him $500 to tide him
over in one of his heavy lawsuits. but he
never got the money. She believes the
Kelly referred to was "Bunco" Kelly,
one of the men under arrest.
Sayres was about go years OF age and
had been q resident here for nearly 80
years, being for many years engaged in
the liquor business.

DETROIT. Oct, 5.-Five men are dead,
10 are more or less injured. and $50, ,0OO
worth of property was destroyed by the
burning OF Keenan, & Jams fvestory
furniture store on Woodward avenue to-
day. The dead are: Michael Donoghue,
lieutenant of the chemical engine COM
pany; J. r. Dely, John w. Pagsl. Julius
Cummins, pipsmen; Frederick Bussey,
an electrical worker.
The fire originated at the bottom OF
the elevator shaft, and swept upward
with tremendous swiftness. About 60
persons were at work in the upper
stories. but all escaped unhurt.
The water supply seemed at first
inadequate and the building was soon
ruined. After the interior had partially
burned out, it became apparent the
front and rear walls were in danger of
falling, but Fire Chief Elliott allowed
his men to advance toward 1t, both from
the front and rear.
Suddenly the front wall ssgged for
ward and the great mass OF hot bricks,
timber and iron crashed northward.
Almost st the same instant the rear
wall crumbled and fell to the slley in
the rear. Amid the tumult of the
panic stricken crowd rose the shrieks
of the wounded and impris-
oned firemen. Sixteen in all
were in the path of the crumbling walls,
but 10 escaped alive after few seconds
of thrilling experience. Their comrades
worked to rescue the dying and the re-
mains of the dead, and all were recov-
cred. Their limp and crushed remains
were in some cases almost unrecogniz-
able.

Continued Progress in the Direction of
Improvement in Trade.
New York, Oct. 5.-Brsdetreet's to-
morrow will say: While no radical
change has appeared this week, there
are features OF the situation pointing to
a continued progress in the direction OF
improvement. This is true of the
country at large. Providence, r. l.,
announces that all industrial lines,
notably manufacturing jewellers, have
received liberal orders, with the excep.
tion OF manufacturers OF machinery.
Baltimore, too, reports larger sales in
a few directions in the west. Core
spending reports come from Omaha,
where better feeling is reported
throughout the tributary region, and
there is more buying of dry goods, gro-
ceries, clothing and shoes. Duluth also
finds business improved and jobbera
st. Louis and Kansas City report
circulation in wholesale as we'll az retail
lines, due in part to an influx of Wis
itors to the carnivals. From the south
the most favorable reports come from
Jacksonville, where wholesale trade is
good and retail trade improving. Mer-
Savannah and Charleston and Chatta-
nooga. The previously reported large
volume of business of Chicago jobbers is
maintained. At q number OF points east
and west the demand has increased,
and large changes in the character of
mercantile collections, ae q rule, are in
the direction OF improvement.
The price movement has improved
little. Wheat, corn and oats have ad-
vanced from the previous lowest levels.
Some varieties OF lumber, naval stores,
tin plate and few other staples have
remained steady in price, and refined
sugar is lower, for reasons which may or
may not be similar to those governing
prices in other lines. Concessions in
prices have also been made for pig iron,
steel billets, lum Der, lard, coffee, cotton
print cloths and live hogs.

FOREST RESERVES.
The Interior Department at "a Loss What
to Do with Them.

The Interior Department at "a Loss What
to Do with Them.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 5.-Whet to do
with the forest reserves has become
serious question in the department of
the interior. Congress passed law
providing for the setting apart OF tracts
of land as forest reserves, and when go
set apart, they could not be entered
upon for any other purpose whatever.
Acting under this law. the president has
from time to time set apart tracts which
are known as forest reservations, and
which are now on the government
lands. In all there are over II, 900, 600
acres thus reserved in the states OF
California, Washington. Colorado.
Wyoming, Montana and Utah and
for taking care of these reservations.
Under the law they are reserved to the
government, and no person can make
use of them, yet there is nothing to pre-.
vent persons from going upon them or
in any way defeating the object of legis-
lation and the reservation proclamation.
Persons might be prosecuted afterwards,
but there is no means of preventing
depredations. Neither is there any way
to prevent forest fires or other methods
of destruction. The persons interested
i a forest preservation were instrumental
in having the reservation law passed,
and the reservation made. They have
also tried to secure laws for the proteo-
ton of forests. but 30 far without suc-
cess.
One Of the most enthusiastic forestry
men OF the present administration is
Assistant Commissioner Bowers OF the
general land Office. He has been doing
q good deal toward having reservations
made and has been urging legislation
for their preservation and protection.
Commissioner Lamoreaux is q practical
lumber man, and referring to the value
of the timber in these reservations, says
that no timber ia valuable unlesa it is
within marketable distance of streams
or railroads, and at present mono of the
lumber OF these reservations could
be sold. lie does not believe
that their timber would be
demanded TO. half century. A part OF
the scheme for the preservation OF the
forests includes the sale of timber from
time to time to pay for protection. Ii
there is no demand for the timber, this
plan will fail, and it will be necessary
for the government to appropriate
money for this purpose.
Already there have been plans pre-
sented for making national parks oil
these reservations. and If the first plans
fail. then an effort will be made to turn
them over to the several states for state
| parks.
