TAMMANY HALL A GONER.
A Politician Thinks Dick Croker's Resig-
nation the Beginning Of the End.

do you know that in my opinion
the withdrawal of Dick Croker from
Tammany means great DEAL" said a
we'll known politician yesterday to a
STATESMAN reporter. I'm my opinion
Croker as boss has come to the realiza-
ton that Tammany has once again
passed the limit of public liberation as
it did under Tweed, and that it is now
rapidly fastening to its setting. 1t
became very evident several months
ago that Tammany Hall was on its
last peg. Did it not send rep
resentatiyes to all sections Of
the country in a vain
ranks. Now there was Dick Croker,
who came South and into Texas for
no other purpose than to make some
dicFer looking to an annexation with
Southern Democracy. His ouly hope
lay in that direction and his with
drawal goes to prove that his hope
was a vain one. | haven't the slight
est doubt but what he came down
here on the quiet las he intended it
should be- to make some dicker with
the leaders of the Southern Democ'
racy. The press got onto him
too quick, however, and he
had to back down and
out. That was the last straw that
broke the camel's back. He realized
that the rotten system en- which Tam
many has been running for number
of years was tottering to its fall and
he got down and out. He has made
money and big money at that out Of
the ring and now that he realizes that
it is sinking he leaves the ship to
founder alone and goes on his way re-
ioicing with never thought of her
again. Mark my word, Tammany
| Hall is a goner.

KILLING AN ELEPHANT.
VICIOUS TIP, THE TERROR OF CEN.
TRIAL PARK, KILLED.
He Was Dosed With Cyanide of Potas
stun, Which Killed Him in Twelve
Minutes-A Victim of His
Own Temper.

NEW YORK, May l1.-Tip, the man
eating elephant of Central park, was
killed today by the park commission
ers. He died from the effects of poison
90 at 4:S0 p m. today. After he had
given up the ghost the authorities
waited to be positive that Tip was not
shamming before they permitted the
members of the press to see the de-
ceased. George P. Burns, assistant
superintendent of the menagerie, told
the story briefly:
CAL through the day we tried
to administer cyanide of potassium
by one means or another but did
not succeed. At last we decided
on bran and using small capsules.
Snyder made up balls of wet bran, in
each of which was placed capsule
containing about 5 or 6 grains OF
cyanide, They were placed in the
ordinary pail in which food had been
given him before. AT minutes past
o'clock he put his trunk in the pail
and taking up a ball OF bran blew 1t
down his throat. Several others fol-
lowed and then he stopped, something
seemed to affect him. He moved TO
the front of the cage and rubbed his
side against the bar. Then he trum-
peted once or twice and after four
minutes seemed to go into tonvul.

mendous. Fin ally the chain that
went around his body burst. Getting
down on the floor he dragged himself
towards the door of the cage until
reaching the limit of the heavy chain
which secured his forelegs to two OF
the front bars, he stumbled and fell
He did not go down with crash,
however, but went over on his side
front first, stiffened out and died i'll
Just II minutes from the time he took
the first ball of wet bran,
ave had at first decided to use
hydrocyanic acid, but finally decided
on the cyanide of potassium, not only
because it was tasteless and inOdorous,
but chiefly for the reason that it was
not dangerous to the operators max
ing the dissection, The use of the
hydrocyanic acid would make the
whole carcass a deadly poison. Be.
sides we have now demonstrated that
this is an easy and hnmane way OF
killing elephants.n
Before the information was impart-
ed, the directors, eight in number, I'M
der the direction of John Rowley,
chief taxidermist Of the museum, had
commenced their work, so that before
the sun rises tomorrow Tip will be

BRECKINRIDGE'S ENEMIES.

Desperate Efforts to Defeat Him,

The Lexington Women Are Making
Desperate Efforts to Defeat Him.
LEXINGTON, KY, May 11.-Hon.
William @. Owens, Colonel Breckin-
ridges chief opponent, is to speak in
Lexington some day next week not
yet decided upon. The women of this
city have conceived the idea of EN-
phasizing their protest against Breck-
inridges candidacy by joining in max
ing this meeting a big ovation
for Owens. The eight boxes at the
opera house are to be filed with repre-
sentative women of tie Blue Grass re-
gion who have heretofore taken little
interest in petitions, and the body OF
the house will have large delegations
of women. An informal meeting was
held today to arrange plans and a
paper is being circulated for sigma
lures of those who will attend the
meeting. Already a score OF
the best known in Central
Kentucky have signified their
intention to join the movement. 1t is
possible the action of the woman may
result in turning the meeting into a
popular protest against Breckenridge
candidacy rather than a straight out
Owens meeting and that Mr.. Owens
may be only one of a number OF
speakers. The women are so thor
oughly aroused that they are with
drawing patronage from merchants
favorable to Colonel Breckidridge and
in several instances old family physi.
clans have been dismissed because OF
their sympathy for the congressman
The bitterness is growing every day.
