Speaking about the muscular strength
of elephants, Charles Ringing, one of the
brothers whose big show comes to Biz
mingham Friday, october 80, related to
party of travelling men at the Morris
house last night the details of an incident
that amply shows what tremendous pow
er these huge and ungainly beasts pos
sess. "One night last summer" said he,
while we We're exhibiting in st. Louis,
fire occurred in that city, which brought
out more than the usual number of fire
companies. The conflagration was sew
eral miles from our show grounds. In
fighting the flames several of the heaviest
engines and ladder wagons were located
on a vacant lot near the burning build
ing. This vacant lot had been filled in
from excavations made in the neighbour
hood, and the heavy fire wagons cut
deeply into the yielding clay. During the
progress of the fire it started to rain, and
this, augmented by water from the fire
hose, soaked the ground to such an eX-
tent that when the fire companies We're
ready to leave the horses were unable to
pull the fire wagons out of the mud. In
fact, the combined strength of the horses
and fremen with hook ropes, were just
about sufficient to pull the heavy engines
and ladder wagons deeper into the mud,
until they became so thoroughly imbeded
that the hubs sank out of sight. More
horses and men were secured, and, with
twenty of the former pulling with every
muscle ana IOfly OF HIly men luBSlHS
on ropes and shouting themselves hoarse,
no progress could be made.
"a bystander made remark (bystand-
ers always at a fire.. He delivered him
self of the opinion that perhaps one of
the circus elephants could help them out
of the difficulty. The captain of the pre-
cinct heard the remark. He had always
before scorned the remarks of bystand-
ers as the quintessence of lunacy, but he
was in dilemma and SO he dispatched
messenger to the circus ground to know
If the management would loan him an
elephant to help him out of his predica-
ment. In less than an hour Pearl Sou
der, our head elephant man, was on the
scene with Badly the biggest elephant
in the world today. Badly placed his
huge head against the back end of
heavy engine, and bringing his tremend-
GUS weight forward, sent 1t scudding
through the mud as though it was no
more than child's express wagon A
shout went up from the firemen, and
they subsequently voted Badly to be
the hero of the st. Louis fire department.
In less than half an hour all the big We
hicles were out of the mud. 1t was big
advertisement for the show. The papers
devoted a great deal of space to the in
cdent, and everybody wanted to see the
elephant that saved the reputation of the
fire department"

times inadequate to the wants of the
country. The worlds supply of that COM
modify cannot be increased by any act of
legislature, though the legislation of any
country may increase the demand for it.
Mark you, do not pretend to say that
the cause of the panics was the demoneti
cation of silver; nor that its threatened
decentralization today is the cause of our
present industrial stagna ton. The causes
lie far deeper than the demonetiza ton or
the reconciliation of silver. The finan-
cial agitations of today and for years
gone by were, in my judgment contribu-
tory to the intensity of the stagpation
and added to the burdens of the people.
In some time in the future | should
be pleased to talk this matter over with
you fully, and we could then discuss
what We really believe the causes are
which produce this economic and social
phenomena called panics, and which oc-
cur with peculiar periodical regularity
and precision even when the question of
silver is not remotely related to it.
With assurances of my regard for you
personally and for the opinions you may
hold, and again expressing my regret that
we disagree upon this subject, am, Very
respectfully yours,

The Stock Farm, that reliable and pro-
gressve horse journal published at Lex
ington, KY, comes to the front again
this year with another liberal purse for
trotters and PAGERS. The horsemen seem
to appreciate this effort in their behalf,
since the publishers inform us that they
received over 500 entries to similar
purse given last year. The Stock Farm
certainly deserves to be successful in
their undertaking, as they are offer
ing to the horsemen of the country

dy low sum of one-twentieth of l per cent

THE ST. PAUL ASHORE.
The Steamer Goes Aground While
Racing Into New York.

New York. Jan. 25.-The American line
steamer St Paul. from Southampton to
New York, stranded this morning about
40 O'Clock opposite East End-that is. be-
tween Long Branch and New Long
Branch. She rolled heavily Immediately
AFTER going ashore. but IS resting easily
now There was a heavy sea and thick
log when the steamer went aground.
II is said the St. Paul was just finishing
a 80 mile tussel with that other ocean
greyhound, the Campania, Of the Cunard
line Both boats. it appears from the sto-
RES OF passengers, had been travelling at
top speed Tor II hours within sight Of
each other and though il is declared Meth
er was racing, each seemed anxious to get
to Sandy Hook first. This fact is acknOWl-
edged by Capt Walker Of the Campania.
Both vessels ran into fog bank uneXpec-
tedly and then slowed down. After that
the vessels came within sight of each other
two or three times. At a few minutes af-
ter i o'clock this morning the St. Paul
drove her bow into the sand less than half
a mile from the iron pier used by excur-
sion steamers during the summer season
She is still aground tonight, hard and
fast and may remain on the beach for
several days. An effort was made to re-
lease her at high water this afternoon, but
II was not a success. The vessel had 10 sa-
loon. % second cabin and 10 steerage pas
Sengers.
The Campania, reports that she used the
ieao soon aIter running into the fog and
found she was in ten fathoms of water
She anchored until the fog lifted and then
came safely into port. 1t is asserted that
she was anchored only two miles UP the
coast from the St. Paul.
Sandy Hook, N. j., Jan. 25-All of the
first ana second class passengers OF the
St Paul were transferred safely to the
steamboat George Starr by O'Clock this
afternoon, and then the vessel steamed
away for New York
The third class passengers were trans
ferred to the l.. Pulver and at 4:30 D. m.
that vessel stood away for the city The
steamboat George w. Starr, with 200 of
the passengers taken OFF the stranded
steamer st. Paul left quarantine for this
city at 6:10 O'clock
The tug r. J. Barrett called at quaran-
tine at $50 p. m. with fifty passengers
from the steamer. The health officer
cleared them and the tug proceeded to
New York. The tug c. +. Evarts also
stopped at quarantine at 7:05 p. m. with
the balance of the st. PauPs passengers,
about a dozen in number.
Capt. Phil Dick of the Evarts says the
stranded steamer lies broadside to the
beach, with very little water around. She
is heading S. S. w.
There is only seven feet of water on
her starboard side. She lists slightly TO
port with five cables out and four wreck
ing boats in attendance. An attempt will
be made TO pull her off during the night
at high tide, but it is feared that the eff
fort will be fruitless

LYNCHING NARROWLY ESCAPED.
The Sheriff Gave Up, But the Prison
er Whipped Up His Horse.

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 25.-An almost sue
cessful attempt was made last night to
lynch Sam Foster, cOlored, and Pete
Smith, white, who murdered B. e. At
water of Chicago Tuesday night at Web
ster Grove. a suburb. After the inquest
yesterday the situation became so threat
ening that it was decided to bring the
prisoners to this city for safety They
were handcuffed together and started for
the city in a wagonette driven by Con-
stable Fielson. When within six miles of
the city limits the conveyance was sud
denly surrounded by a mob of sixty armed
men, who demanded the prisoners. Con-
stable FieIson surrendered but the pris-
oners began whipping the horse and start
ed off on a run. A volley was fired after
them, and one shot struck the negro in
the right hip. They were not pursued
and the horse fell lame. 1t being impossi-
BILE for them to escape, they were finally
overtalSen by Ffelson and brought to the
Four Courts in this city early this morn
ing. Foster fired the three shots that killed
Atwater and admits his guilt.

NEGROES READY FOR Al RIOT.
Charleston Police Have an Exciting
Experience.


Charleston, S. c., Jan. 25.-The shooting
of one negro by another. in an uptown dis
trict this afternoon came near causing
trouble between other negroes, and the
police officers. Isaac Sparkman shot James
Criss in the back. The grudge between
the two men has been of long standing.
Sparkman ran down to the Cooper river
water front and hid, but he was captured
by an officer and brought back to the
scene of the shooting.
Three policemen were on the scene, and
while they We're trying to send in an alarm
to the station they were badly crowded
by the negroes. One of these men drew
a pistol and threatened to shoot Lieut.
MCManus and when the officer drew his
gun and tried to arrest his man the ne
grOes gathered around the negro and pro-
tected him. Some of them fondly urged
him to kill the officer. The officers grad
ually drove the crowd back, but they could
not get at the chief offender. When the
patrol wagon came up with a squad of po-
lice, the negroes dispersed. Later Wright
the negro who started the trouble was
captured at his home. Criss, the negro
who was shot by Sparkman, is in very
critical condition. Sparkman claims that
Criss had beaten him on more than one
occasion, and had threatened his life.
