VICIOUS ELEPHANT KILLED.


NEW YORK, April 22.-"Dick" q vicious
elephant belonging to the Sells & Fore
paugh circus. was strangled to death in
Madison-square Garden to-day in futile
attempt to subdue his belligerent disposi-
ton. According to a member of the circus
it was not intended to destroy him. Dick
was one of the eight original Forepaugh
dancing elephants. and was trained by
Adam Forepaugh. jr. nearly twenty years
ago.
Until last winter he was one of the most
consistent performers in the circus, but a
few weeks ago, in Columbus, O., while
preparations were being made to bring the
show to this city, he began showing a re-
bellious disposition. When the circus
reached Madison-square Garden Dick be-
came dangerous and heavy chains were
fastened to his four legs and also to his
tusks. He was taken out of the 'quadrille"
dance, as he was unmanageable. While
preparations were being made this morn
ing to move the circus from the garden,
Dick started to trumpet. Fearing a STAN
pede Of the fourteen elephants. Lewis Sells.
one of the proprietors, decided upon stern
measures to subdue him.
Huge ropes were passed around the
giants body and about his neck; dozen
men seized the ends and began to pull, the
idea being TO choke him into submission.
Finding that the men made no impression
upon him, Mr.. Sells had elephants at
tached TO the ropes. They pulled with such
vigor that the ropes frightened about Dicks
neck and choked him to death. The car
cass was cut up and carted away. 1t took
fourteen men nearly sixteen hours to per-
form the task. The elephant was about
thirty-fve years of age and weighed 5000
pounds. The skin may be stuffed and
placed In Andrew Carnegie's new museum
in Pittsburg.

pLA1N-spoKEN CRITICISM.
Unfversalfst Preacher Pays His Re-
spects to EcumenicaI Conference.

NEW YORK, April 22.-The Rev. d. w.
s. Grove preached to-day at the Church OF
the Eternal Hope UniversalisD on THE
Presbyterian Dilemma" incidentally he Sc
verely criticised the ecumenical mission
airy conference. He said In part:
1.-THE delegates are gathering In our city
for what is called the ecumenical mission
airy conference. 1t is heralded throughout
the land that all Protestant Christians are
welcome to the conference; that all Prot
estant Christian churches were invited to
send delegates. Any Protestant denomina-
ton not invited is not considered
Christian. The Unitarian and Univer-
salist churches were not invited.
They are both in the mission field:
both have foreign missions which are
doing excellent work. Why were they not
invited? Because they do not believe in the
of what Christ taught of Gods fatherhood,
abandon the moral culture of this age and
go back to the spirit of naked savages who
burned their victims at the stake? 1t Is
very strange, especially when you consider
that the chances are that the majority of
the delegates TO this conference do not
themselves believe in endless torment. They
simply profess to believe 1t. subscribe to the
creeds which proclaim IL, and they are
going to send their creed teaching by the
millions of dollars worth to the heather.
They are going to make plain the loving
kindness of Christianity by telling about a
God a million times more cruel than any
earthly tyrant or ghostly demon the poor
heather ever heard of before"

THREE CANDIDATES,
Each of Whom Thinks He VIII BE
Nominated for Court Reporter.

The race between the three candidates
for reporter Of the Supreme Court has be-
come a most unique contest. These candi-
dates are Charles Remy. of Columbus. who
is asking for n denomination: Jesse weik.
of Greencastle. and L. b. Nash, of Tip
ton. Each candidate asserts that he will
undoubtedly receive the nomination and
each attempts to show why the others will
be unable to win the race. 81 am bound to
be nominated said Mr.. Remy yesterday.
because il is the custom of the office TO
give each man two terms, and also be-
cause man who has filled the office salts
factorily and is a competent reporter and
q good Republican deserves to be renOmi-
mated"
l.. b. Nash, the Ninth district candidate.
says he is sure of winning and asserts that
Mr.. Remy will not receive the nominal
ton. because he has had it for four years.
Mr.. Nash Is an attorney of Upton. The
Ninth district will be solid for him. he
thinks. He says that one reason Jesse
Weik cannot win is because he is from
the Fifth distrist, which has two other
candidates-Judge Jordan and +. G. Ho-
gate.
Mr.. weik is just as confident he will be
the nominee as the other two candidates
are that they will be selected. He is some
thing of a literary man and speaks Ger
man and a little French in addition to his
English. He says he is the only man on
the ticket who represents the German ele-
ment, and this fact, he believes, will give
him strength. He also bases his chances
for winning on the fact that he is COM
petent to fill the office, and Is the only cam
didate who can make a campaign in the
German and English languages, which he
did in 1896 in the interest of the Repub-
lican party. In 1883 Mr.. Weik In connec-
ton with William III. Herndon, law part
ner of the late President Lincoln, published
a two-volume history of the life of Lin
coin He is now at work on another his
tory of Mr.. Lincoln. He says that in order
to equip himself for this work he has
studied carefully every lawsuit Lincoln
ever had.
