F.ciausiy Attacks and Kills Her Keeper
A Bloody Record.
Chicago. March 26.-W. H. Harris big
elephant Gypsy became unmanageable
at its winter quarters on the West side
Wednesday afternoon and before she
could be gotten under control killed her
keeper, tore down a frame building
and created general excitement, which
drew thousands of people to the scene.
Harris circus is quartered at the
corner of Roby and jackson streets in
six-story brick building, and Gypsy
occupies the greater part of the first
floor. Her regular keeper is Bernard
Shea, but Shea is at present engaged at
the Ak-Sar-Benm music hall in Omaha, and
the animal was temporarily in charge of
Frank Scott, a lion tanner. Wednesday
afternoon early Scott, against orders.
took Gypsy out for q ride in the alley.
Gypsy did not seem inclined to stop at
the boundary of the alley and Scott gave
her jab with an iron hook. The beast
became enraged, and, throwing her
keeper from her head, where he had
been riding, proceeded to pound him
with her trunk and succeeded in killing
him, knocking him through board
fence.
Mrs. Harris came to the rescue with
a pitchfork. She was knocked down.
but pluckily jumped up and commenced
battle. She soon had blood streaming
from wounds in the elephants side and
the beast ran away towards the end of
the alley. Here was standing a large
crowd, and many were the bruises re-
ceived N the scattering which took
place when the elephant started out of
the alley. Gypsy did not go far, but
went back for Scott, who in the mean
time had been moved into wooden
building just opposite the elephants
quarters. The animal knocked in the
whole side of the building in her efforts
to get at the man again.
The elephant had her own way for
about four hours, when she went back
into her stall and allowed orion to
chain her. Harris has owned the animal
for five years and has had no trouble
with her before.

and says he has never had any trouble
with her. In an interview he stated
that Gypsy is only another name for
Empress. the original old Empress. the
first elephant imported into this coun-
try, and that the killing of her late
keeper, Scott, makes the seventh vic
tim of her vicious character.
The first was Harry Cooley, in 1870.
at Forepaugh's winter quarters in Phil
adelphia; then George West had the life
crushed out of him in 1874, travelling on
the road with Robinson's show. Jim

New Iberia, La, in 1852. followed by Will
liam Devoe, with O'Brien's show at
Poughkeepsie, n. Y in 1856. Patsy
Hulligan was the sixth victim, and he
had his arm torn out at Cincinnati in
1894. and died two days afterwards.

Grafton. decided Wednesday evening not
to precipitate great strike in order
to bring about the eight-hour work
day. 1t was deemed expedient to con-
tinue the agitation for the day and To
wait awhile until business throughout
the country shows more signs of i'm
provement. The council set forth its
position in a lengthy address to the
wageworkers of the country, in which
it urges the necessity of more thorough
organization and calls upon the toilers
to Join the trades union movement with
a view of securing all possible advan-
tages resulting from organization, and
especially to put into operation the
eight-hour working day as soon as bust
ness win justify such action without in

officers of the federation in asking
unions to declare for the free coinage
of silver at the ratio OF sixteen to one.
Every union affiliating with the fedora
ton within the next two weeks will re-
ceiye instructions TO indorse the move

Appeals to Russia and France to Inter
fere in Egyptian Affairs.


Constantinople, March 26.-The coun-
Gil of ministers which was held at the
palace on March 81 exclusively dis
cussed the situation in Egypt Both
the palace authorities and the porte
were greatly annoyed at the fact that
Turkey had not been consulted in re-
gard to the Dongola expedition and
were also irritated because of the
khedive's having ignored the porte in
the matter. and messages were adj
dressed to Mouhktar Pasha, high COM
missioner of the porte in Egypt, re-
preaching him for not having put stop
to the expedition.
The ministers also addressed an APP
peal to France and Russia requesting
them to intervene to the end of regulat-
ing the position of Egypt, and Germany
was also asked to use her good offices
in the same direction. 1t is believed in
well-informed circles that the action Of
the porte IN this matter was taken al
the instance of Russia.
Costaki Pasha, Turkish ambassador
to Great Britain, has been instructed to
make representations to Lord Salisbury
expressing the porte's idea in regard TO
the Egyptian situation.

Trainer Shea arrived in town late
Thursday night and made haste to reach
Gypsy's quarters. The instant the big
beast heard his voice she trumpeted
joyously and tried to break her steel
shackies. The meeting between the
two astonished those who beheld it.
Shea patted the elephant as he asked:
How are you, old girl?" Almost in
stantly Gypsy wrapped her big trunk
around the waist of her friend and held
him firmly, yet ter,derly, for many
minutes. Then, receiving a reassuring
kiss from Shea, the monster slowly
lowered him to the floor. While her
trainer remained in her quarters Gyp-
sy trumpeteG merrily, and it was not
until the keeper left the place that the
beast ceased these manifestations of her
