GoRILLA'S DUEL WITH KEEPER

MARSEILLES, March s.-(New YORK
World Cablegram-Special Telegram. IA
strange duel was fought lately in the Mar
seilles Zoo between the only adult gorilla
in Europe and his keeper. The gorilla was
killed after a fight lasting twenty minutes,
in which the keeper was so horribly
mangled that he died Ave hours after.
The famous gorilla was named Francois.
He was one Of the largest species and al
ways had been perfectly tractable, showing
especial affection for his keeper, man
named Journoux, until the latter married
a few weeks ago.
The bride visited the Zoo often and the
gorilla was sensitive about the attention
she showed him. When he perceived that
she undoubtedly preferred his keeper Fran
co.'s became more and more jealous and
finally Journoux found 1t impossible to ap-
proach the gorilla, and especially when Mrs.
Journoux was in sight.
Two days ago Francois was 30 surly ana
quiet that the keeper thought he was sick
and entered the cage to comfort him. The
gorilla Immediately sprang upon the keeper.
Journoux held a short tanners fork, which
alone accounts for the fight lasting so long.
1t being dinner time, all the other keepers
had withdrawn to a distant shanty. Only
three children witnessed the terrible night
and they we're SO frightened they failed to
fetch help until Journoux had succeeded in
escaping from the cage.
The gorilla followed before the door
could be shut and the duel was continued
outside, from one end OF the building to
the other, as is shown by the bloodstains.
Finally the children ran away yelling. BY
the time help arrived the gorilla had been
killed. The keeper was found with one eye
torn out, rapidly losing blood from many
wounds and laboriously trying to crawl
away on all fours. One hand had been
completely chewed of and the lower lip
and part OF the chin had been bitten on.

CONFRONTED WITH RECORDS.
Identification Bureau Proves to Be Use


full to Local Police.
The alleged boarding house worker for
whom the police were looking earlier In
the week, as stated in yesterdays Star.
was captured late yesterday afternoon by
Detectives Muller and Baur.
r I'm DR.. James X. Hayes" he said. when
questioned by the officers concerning his
identity. He said he was dentist by pro-
fession, and that he had lived in New York.
The prisoner would say nothing further
about himself. When being searched at
headquarters he remarked:
You need not search for pawn tickets.
When 1 get them 1 light cigarettes with
them"
The prisoner protested his innocence after
ne mad been measured and photographed
for the gallery. Mr. Evans, superintend-
ent OF the bureau of Identification. mean
while found In the records in his office that
the prisoner had served one year In prison
in Baltimore of a charge of false pretenses.
He served time there, according to the
records. under the name of Edwin II.
Smith, alias Doc" Smith, alias George
w. King. His occupation was given at
that time as an oil salesman. When re-
ports Of the operations of an alleged board
ing mouse crook were received Capt. Board
man detailed several detectives to make a
thorough search for him. Detectives Null
ler and Baur found him in house near
was looking at room He was completely
surprised when the officers entered the
room and placed him under arrest.
When taken into custody the young man
was wearing an overcoat which it was al
legged had been taken from the house Of
Max Pracht, No. 400 street, and hat
belonging to Mr. W. S. Cain Of 1107 9Th
street northwest. from where a coat was
also stolen. An overcoat that had been
taken from Mr.. Frank B. Lord at local

Mann, No. 1107 18th street northwest.
The man claims he is native of a Mary
land town. and that he went to Baltimore
to live when he was a boy. His scheme
here. as alleged by the detectives. was to
rent room and remain in the house only
long enough to get an overcoat or some
articles of jewelry or what cash he could
pick up. The overcoats, it is alleged, were
taken in order that his appearance might
be frequently changed, and avoid arousing
suspicion by the description given of him
by the police. Tomorrow he will be taken
to the Police Court to answer the six
charges of theft already preferred against
him.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, February 14.-The trading
during the first half of today's stock mar
ket was inclined to be reactionary under
moderate realizing by commission houses
and further selling by the room. There
was no significant increase in legitimate
business and the dullness of the morning
mace concessions necessary to almost every
trade. Towards the end Of the first hour
1t became evident that pool buying was in
progress in the specialties.
colorado Southern issues were again ad-
Vanced under big buying by inside inter-
ests and the usual rumors Of increased
earnings and possible absorption by either
Union Pacific or Missouri Pacifice helped
TO force the advance. The common stock
was bought in round amounts and re-
sponded easily to the demand
Rumors Of closer relations between ST. Jo
and Grand Island and Chicago and Great
Western found reflection in Increased ac-
tivity in the latter. For several days past
the first named issues have been active
under steady accumulation by interests
familiar with the property.
The pool In Southern Pacific allowed those
desiring to realize an opportunity to do so
around &c. and later. when the desire to
seA was less urgent, the price was advanced
1h per cent.
The invitations to join this pool have been
somewhat numerous and have not always
been accepted. hence the constant realizing
by the outside interests The property Is
deserving In many ways. and Is the FASH
tonable trading feature of the present
market. Earnings are large ard the largest
interests In the street have appar-
emily been attracted to this stock
as a splendid leader Of a campaign de-
signed largely with the idea of attracting
public participation In the general market
and thereby making a market upon which
to realize on accumulated holdings in the
general list. The plan is well conceived
ably managed and has only the one draw
operators. Union Pacific was steady under
the familiar trading of the last fortnight. in
which preventing wide fluctuations Is appar-
emily the main object.
Baltimore and Ohio Is as we'll bought by
the pool and seemed to attract less stock
than usual at such an early stage of an
advance. Southern railway issues were
marked up under buying by commission
houses and further rumors of the deciara-
tion Of the full per cent on the preferred
stock.
The steel shares were given good support
and there was some evidence Of a revival of
interest In the outside steel concerns. Cop
Sugar was steady under renewed confidence
In reduced sugar bounties.
The known movements of money would
indicate that the banks have gained ST.
10000 from the interior. and the indica-
tions are the loans have been increased
again: Bankers insist that this latter item
should give no concern to the public since
there Is ample money In sight for all pur-
poses including further loans at profitable
rates.

DANGER OF ELEcTRoLYsIs.
Naval Experts at Brooklyn Navy Yard
Agitated on Subject.

Naval experts of the Brooklyn navy yard
are much agitated over the dangers Of cleo
trolysis, and it Is feared that 1t will be nee
essary to have the cruiser Columbia, now
serving as a receiving ship, taken elsewhere
in order to save her steel hull. In reference
to the condition Of the ship the New York
Herald says:
mo complete report, as far as could be
learned yesterday, has been filed at the
Navy Department regarding the danger
threatening the ship, but it was admit ed
by several Of the experts at the yard that
the matter was being thoroughly investi-
gated.
THAT the yard Is the receptacle for large
amount of loose electricity has been known
for some time. 1t was first discovered in
1886 when the city made an exhaustive sur
vey Of conditions under ground.
A"Then It was found that the large amount
Of electricity which centers at the Brook
lyn end of the bridge, in order that it may
return to the power house in Kent avenue
of least reSiStance-namely, along Sands
street and through the navy yard
SIT was found that the low moist land
which composes large part Of the ground
lent conductor, and that the current. in
stead of using the rails Gas is the theory
of the trolley sJstern) as a conductor back
to the power house, left the rails and went
through this moist ground.
Recently 1t became necessary for work
men In the yard to tear up some water
pipes on the cob dock itself It was found
that they were cerroded by the action Of
the electricity until they were Of no fur
ther use. The vessel has been exposed for
more than six months.
Much Of the damage done to the big dry
dock No in the navy yard was caused by
faulty underground pipes.
Though the idea of the Columbia being
permanently damaged by electroiysis was
laughed at by some Of the officers in the
yard, 1t was admitted by others who have
looked into the matter that there was con-
siderable ground for worriment.''
