BIG BEAST STRANGLED.
UnrnIy and Dangerous Etepha {
Killed on ShipbOard in Very
Novel Manner.

New York, Nov. Mandarin. an
elephant of the Barnum q Bailey cir
Gus, was executed by strangulation
Saturday night in his cage on the main
deck of the steamship Minneapolis, of
the Atlantic Transport line. two
inch hawser was placed in loop
around Mandarin's neck and each end
of the hawser was fastened to the
drum of a ''wench" engine The en-
gines were started at the same time
and ran slowly at first, until the
hawser was taut about the animals
neck, when the speed was increased
and the hawser quickly frightened In
a minute and half the hind legs sank
to the floor of the cage and the ele-
plant was unconscious. Just eight
minutes after the engines had been
started Mandarin was pronounced
dead.
The cage containing the body was
then hoisted from the ship by crane
and loaded on a barge, in which it was
towed about 20 miles out to sea and
sunk, the cage being weighted with
about 5000 pounds of old railroad iron.
Mandarin was the largest elephant in
captivity at the time of his death, and
had been with the Barnum d Bailey
circus for "a years. He weighed five
tons and stood nine feet ten inches
high. The elephant had recently be-
come unmanageable, rendering his de-
struction necessary.

ACCUSED BY A NEGRO.
Alan Mason Again Connected with
the Boston "SIugger"
Cases.

Boston, Nov. 10.-George o. L.
Perry, negro, aged is years, of
Craig street, Cambridgeport, was ar
rested late Saturday night in con-
nection with the ''Jack the SluggeT"
cases, and his assertions since his ar
rest are of the most startling nature.
The arrest of Perry was made on
the charge of pawning the watches
taken from Miss Agnes McPhee and
Miss Clara A. Morton, the two vic
Tins of the "slugger" whose injuries
proved fatal. At first Perry declared
he knew nothing of the watches, but
later admitted he pawned both and
then told a rambling story of how
he obtained them. The negro said
that Alan G. Mason, who is now
under arrest on the charge of muir
dering Miss Morton, gave him both
watches to pawn, that he received 81
for the McPhee watch, of which he
gave Mason rs cents, and for the
Morton watch, pawned last Monday,
he received 81, of which he was to
pay Mason his share. Mason was ar
rested Tuesday morning, and has not
yet been paid any part of the S4,
according to Perry. Perry further
declares he has known Mason more
than year, but insists that he has
no knowledge of where Mason got
The watches. He says when he asked
Mason this question the latter re-
piled: Never mind about that"
Perry's statement is a long one,
and was taken down by a stenog-
rapher as he made it. He has been
in the police ''sweat box" since his
arrest, but all efforts to get any
thing from him connecting Mason
more closely with the cases than the
alleged possession of the watches
have failed
On Sunday Chief Ryan and Officer
Argy, of Belmont. talked with Perry,
and later State Officers New, Durham,
Dexter and others took Perry to the
Jail. The callers were shown into
the room where Mason and six others
were in line. Perry walked straight
up to Mason, who was second in posi-
ton, and, pointing his finger at him,
said: This is the man who gave me
the watches to pawn"
