BIG TIP is POISONED.
killing of IL Wicked Elephant in Central
Park, New York.

Park, New York.
The big elephant at Central Park,
New York, called Tip was killed last
week. He had been wicked elephant
all his life and the men of science
wanted to kill him in such a wav that
they could examine his organs and de-
termine, if possible, what it was that
made him so wicked. They gave him
deadly poison which, if properly
taken, would prepare the body for an
interesting autopsy. Tip, however,
did not take it properly. On the con-
trary, he took it in such a wav that he
became very sick. 1t would have been
an easy thing to shoot him and end his
agony, but that would have injured his
skin, and then it would not have been
SO nice to stuff. They waited until his
agony had subsided little and then
they tried again, and again to
make him take the poison properly.
For nine hours this lasted, and Tip
/ grew steadily weaker and weaker.
The action of the poison was not as
| powerful as the men of science said it
would be, but nevertheless they were
pleased to see it was slowly but surely
taking effect. The nine hours dragged
along and Tip, dazed with sensation
that no elephant ever experienced be-
fore, felt his life slowly slipping away.
They gave him carrots, apples and pea
nuts, and at last they gave him bran,
his favorite nourishment, and, being
hungry, he swallowed it, and for the
first time took the poison in the right
way.
In a few minutes commissions seized
his mighty frame. He staggered
toward the farther end of his cage to
get away from the men who had been
feeding him. The chain upon ms leg
tripped him and he fell upon his side
The poison, now supreme, convulsed
his very muscles. His great legs, which
at that moment no hundred men could
have controlled, were extended, stiff in
pain. Fer few minutes he lay motion
K IS. iHeI MS ifunk, lnll uellDlte
organ with is thousand muscles, slowly
two loud trumpet blasts re
sounded through the building, and with
a last couvulsion that snapped in two
the heavy chain which bound him, Tip
was dead.
The poison was given to Tip under
the directions of Dr. George Hunting
ton and Dir. Allen, the official execution
ers. o-her physicians were present,
Cyanide of p1ta assium was the poison
and it would have been
speedily effective save for the fact that
the elephant spat it out and only swal-
lowed little. The suf1erinss of the
poor animal were pitiable.

RAID A TEXAS BANK
Desperate Bandits Fired at Every
One in Sight.
MANY SHOT AND KILLED
One Robber Laid Low, a Citizen Is Dead
and Others WOunded-Hooty of
$4,000 Carried Away.

Lone VIEW, Tex May 24,-At 3 p. m
yesterday two rough looking men
| walked into the First National bank
one with Winchester concealed under
note to the president, Joe Clemmons:
"HoNE, May 24.-To the First Ma
tional bank, Longview: This will intro
duce to you Charles Specklemever, who
wants some money, and is going to
have it. B. & f."
The bank cashier thought it was an
importune subscription to some charity
entertainment and started to donate,
when the robber pointed his Winchester
at him and told him to hold up. The
other robber rushed into side door
and grabbed the cash. Tom Clemmons
and other bank officials were ordered
to hold up their hands. The robbers
hurriedly emptied the vaults, securing
So 900 in $40 bills and seven UNSIGNED
Longview bank notes, which may lead
to their detection.
While this was going on, two of the
robbers were in rear alley, near the
bank, shooting at every one who ap-
peared and were being fired upon by
City Marshal Muckley and Deputy Viii
Stevens. The firing made the robbers
in the bank very nervous, and they
hurried the bank officials out and told
them to run to the horses and to mount
This was done in order to keep the
posse from shooting, hut as the bullets
few thick ana fast, the men tore loose
and ran around the corner, with several |
shots after them. George Bncking- |
ham, who was shooting at the robbers,
was shot and killed. While he was |
down the robbers shot at him several |
times.
City Marshal Muckley, who was
shooting at another robber, received a |
Winchester ball in the bowels. The |
ball glanced from some silver dollars .
he had in his pocket, which may save
his life. j. w. MoQleen, saloon
keeper, ran ont in the alley and was
shot, and it is thought mortally /
wounded. Charles S. Leonard was
walking through the courthouse yard
and was snot in the left hand. Deputy
Will Stevens was not hurt, though he
stood at short range and killed one of
the robbers. The bankers all escaped
unhurt The robbers who stood guard
in the aller would yell at everyone who
came in sight and shot at them in
The body Of the dead robber was
identified as George Bennett, reck-
less fellow who had been here some
months ago and married the daughter
of a respectable farmer living near this
place, but left her and went to Indian
A posse was soon in pursuit and when
last heard Of was only Is miles behind
them The bank officers offer $500 for
their arrest, dead or alive, and the
added 5000.

SPOKANE, May 22.-Before the veal
1894 passes into history the cars of the
well-known Chicago, Burlington 8
Quincy railroad, or the &c, B. & @. ;
as everybody calls it, will be passing
through Spokane, and contracts will be
made for hauling freight and passen.
gers from Washington into the great
western territory covered by this road,
and from that big territory into Wash
ington.
1t will not be another transconti-
mental line for Spokane, exactly, and
yet 1t amounts to that, for though the
c., B. 4 G. will come in over the tracks
OF another railroad, and perhaps its
cars will be hauled by the locomotives
OF another road, the benefit from com
| petition will not be against the road it
enjoys traffic arrangements with, but
against rival OF that read, and into
whose field it enters.
In a recent letter written bv j. Fran
cis, the general passenger and ticket
agent of the Burlington & Missouri
River railroad, a branch of the 90"
line, with headquarters at Omaha, that
gentleman says:
The extension of the BURLINGTON &
Missouri River railroad to a connection
with the Northern Pacific at Billings,
Mont, will 1evolutionize the railroad
situation of the northwest A new
route to Chicago and the east is only
one-and perhaps the least important
Of the results it will bring about. Di-
Joseph, Kansas City, St. Louis and the
rich territory south and southeast of
those cities will be established An
enormous saving in time and distance
will be effected. AS an instance, be- |
tween Helena and Omaha the new line /
will be nearly 400 miles shorter and T
thirty-two hours quick than any other !
route"
The Burlington Il Missouri River rail /
road was headed for the northwest last I
year and before times got too close the |
line was completed to Sheridan, Wvo.,
which is about 100 miles southeast from
Billings, Mont. Work on this 100-mile |
gap was begun recently, and the con
struction Of the extension is being
pushed with the utmost vjgor, and there
is every reason to believe that it will |
be completed and in running order long
before snow fies this fall
1t is authoritatively given out that i T
close traffic arrangement with the
Northern Pacific has been agreed upon
and will be entered into by the 90"
and that through train service between
Portland and Chicago via Billings,
Mont; Lincoln, Neb; Omaha, and |
Burlington, Iowa, is among the posi- |
bilities, if not the certainties.

JUDGE CLACETT AT MOSCOW.

He Opens the Political Campaign for
the Idaho Populists.
Hovendon's hail at Moscow was packed
to the doors by the adherents of the
three political parties to hear the Hon
W. II. Clagett's address before the pop.
ulist club. The speaker was at his best
and for two hours ard a quarter held
the undivided interest of his audience.
His speech fell under two divisions
discussion of the records and princi-
pies of the republican and democratic
parties, and an exposition of the leading
principles of the peoples party as set
forth in the Omaha platform. The cam
paign of 1892, he said, was conspicuous
for the interest taken by the masses and
their eagerness for information The
present is the beginning of a new era,
turning back from the principles Of the
past. The peoples is the only party
having the true interests of the people
at heart. Those high in office are the
anarchists, not the popuiists. The pres
ent panic is the elimination Of causes
that have been at work for the pas;
twenty years. He scored tEe bankers
combine with Cleveland, eliminating in
the repeal Of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman act. The Mckinley i'll is
fatal to the farmers interests, for his
prosperity depends upon international
trade. The only parties protected by
the Mckinley bill are bankers and man
ufacturers. The contract labor law is
powerless to protect American labor.

enough to prevent undesirable immgra

DENVER, May 22.-Congressman Tom
Johnson Of Ohio has written to Labor
Commissioner Brentlinger;
sWhile | disagree entirely with Mr..
Coxey as regards his proposed remedies
for existing evils, we feel that this
movement and the present labor
troubles are symptoms Of widespread
dissatisfaction and that the indiffer-
ence, contempt or anything like repres'
sion of free speech will only intensity
the dissatisfaction. The real anarch-
lists of today are those who ignore the
evils and seek to stop free discussion
The conservatives are those who, see
ing the wrongs, are anxious to freely
discuss and abolish them"
The single tax, he says, would remedy
existing troubles.

ing that the house disapproves of the

that he exceeded his power in enloin-

garding compulsory lobor, which are as
follows
''Your committee recommends that

with this recon mendation;
''The power to punish for contempt

member of the judiciary committee,
thinks the report of the Boatner sub
