Clerk of the Cony High School Assembly.

The huge monster with two tails and but
little hair, commonly known as an ele-
plant, created considerable fun, Friday
night, when being brought from the circus
grounds to the train. II was passing the
watering tank at the corner of State and
Grove streets and heard the water bubbling.
The stomach Of the great beast spoke for
drink, and Its keeper readily saw the appe-
tite must be satisfied. The animal wabbled
over to the tank and placed its foremost
tail in the water, took three large drinks,
and the fluid in that dish became scarce.
An interested spectator was standing near
by, viewing the wonder from the Eastern
world and imagining what great sight it
would be to see a herd Of such beasts,
when to his surprise q great water spout
seemed to be showering around him. He
was puzzled whether or not the fire depart
ment had turned out or if a cloud burst.
The situation became plain in short time
and he removed to safe distance. The
elephant packed its trunk and hied away on
its journey, while those who witnessed the
sight enjoy laugh about it today.

ELD0Rus STEVENS DEAD.
Passed Away, Sunday, from Effects Of Acct.
dent. Iuly Fourth.

Eldorus Stevens, who was injured on the
morning of the Fourth, by falling about
four feet from the run of the ice house, in
which he was an owner, died, Sunday, at 5
P. NJ, from the effects of the injury.
BY his death the Maine Central Railway
loses trusty and capable yard master, who
had for five years past held that position in
this city to the satisfaction of the
company and its patrons. He had been
very unfortunate in the way of accidents,
and was at one time so seriously injured,
while working as brakeman on freight
train, that it was uncertain whether or not
he would survive the shock to reach the
Maine General Hospital at Portland, but
he did and recovered. A serious injury
befell him at the yards here, by being
jamned between stone wall and car.
From this be recovered. s."
During his employment at the Maine
Central freight yards in this city he had
won the respect and esteem of all the rail
road men. The effects of the fall last
Wednesday morning had continued to wear
on his system. 1t seemed several times
that he would recover, but the injury being
to the spine proved fatal and he died in
great pain.
He was single man and is survived by
his mother. He was Mason and an Odd
Fellow.

WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
National Guard Of Maine Does Not Expect
to Have Hand in Strike.

The report that the National Guards
of this State have received orders
to be in readiness at any moment
to answer to summons, is without
foundation. No such orders have beer
issued by the National Guard officials, o,
from the Governor.
A JOURNAL reporter called upon one OF
Names leading military officers, last even.
ing, and made inquiries regarding the report
published in the Boston Globe, from Bidde-
ford, Saturday. 1t stated that Lieut.. An
thoine had received letter from Augusta,
notifying him to have the Biddeford
light infantry in readiness at moments
notice, and stated that it was understood
that the company would be located at Port
land, that being the terminus Of the Grand
Trunk Railway. -:
The official seen by the reporter said il
was not correct. Lieutenant Anthoine is
an inspector of rifle practice in the Second
Regiment, and would not be the one to re-
ceive such orders. -

frisky, Saturday afternoon, while waiting

The Populists of Clark county met in
mass convention at Kahoka last Satur-
day for the purpose of nominating a
ticket. A good turnout was the result
and each Populist was surprised to
know there was as many free men in
the county. J. Weller Long, of Kinks
vile, and Joseph Miller, of this county,
addressed the convention. Their
speeches were enthusiastically receiv-
ed. After nature deliberation it was
decided to make only one nomination,
that OF representative. as it was late in
campaign and the strength Of the party
could be shown that way as we'll as by
q complete ticket. Charles. Dyer,
one of the most popular farmers of that
county was nominated for representa-

ton in Clark county.
