KILLED By AN ELEPHANT
"Gypsy" Crushes the Life Out OF
Her Keeper.

Savannah. Ga, November 23-
Gypsy, big elephant belonging
to Harris Nickel Plate show, went
crazy six miles from Valdosta
yesterday afternoon and killed
her keeper, James O'Rourke. The
circus train had been in a wreck
at Triton earlier in the day, when
several of the animal cars were
wrecked and two or three trained
horses killed. The elephant Gyp-
sy was in a highly nervous state
when the train pulled out for
Valdosta, the next show point.
Six miles out from that town
Gypsy became so noisy and rest
less that O'Rourke entered her
car, as the train stopped at a
small station, to try to quiet her.
Immediately the mad brute at
tackled the man and crushed his
life out against the side of the
car. O Rourke for some reason
did not close the door of the car
after him, so, after killing her
keeper, Gypsy escaped to the
woods. Her absence was noted
before the train left the station
and a hunt was organized. The
big beast was shot a number of
times before she succumbed to
rifle bullets in the brain.
O'Rourke's body was taken to
Valdosta, where it was given q
spectacular burial this afternoon
being taken to the cemetery III a
circus wagon drawn by six white
horses. His home was IN New
! Orleans, where he has vile and
family. The skin and bones OF
the elephant have been saved.
Twelve men buried the mountain
of flesh this afternoon in the
woods where Gypsy was killed.

She said she had told her
parents and they would publish
II if he did not. Upon this Sar-
Wis shot her, the bullet entering
the centre Of the forehead, rang
ing up and passing through the
scalp. As she fell Sarvis turn
ed the pistol on himself and
sent bullet under his ear and

His death was instantaneous
Both Sarvis and the girl who

Kingston. jamaica. Sept. 1.-THE
German steamer Valencia from New
York. Aug. %. for Cape Haytien and
other ports. which has arrived here
from Santa Marta. capital Of The de-
partment OF Magdalena, Colombia.
brings news OF a victory at santa
Marta by the Colombian revolutionistz
over the government forces.
Captain Gronmeyer Of the Valencia
says that last Friday the revolution
lists made a desperate attack upon the
outskirts Of Santa Marta. Tne gov
ernment troops were overwhelmed and
forced to retreat. leaving behind them
100 dead. Immediately after the with
drawal of the government forces the
rebels started TO destroy the railroad
tracks. They deralled several trains
at various points. demolishing engines
and cars. the latter being chiefly fruit
vans. Several lives were lost In these
wrecks
Saturday the revolutionists occupied
' the banana district Of Senega, where
they continued TO wreck the railroad
at the same time. keeping up their ad-
vance toward Santa Marta. When the
Valencia sailed from Santa Marta the
revolutionists were 10 near the town
that Captain Gronmeyer could see the
flashes OF their guns. Some buildings
in Santa Marta we're then blazing. hav-
ing been lgnited by the few troops left
there 20 oppose the attack OF the rev.
I olutionlsts. The town Al that time
was expected momentarily TO surren-
der.
Owing 10 the total destruction OF the
railroad the Valencia did not get hes
cargo OF fruit az Santa Marta. and be-
cause Of the seriousness OF the situa
Ion the captain decided 70 put into
Kingston for instructions.
Officers OF the Valencia say that nor
rible atrociilcg we're committed durirs
the lighting BY the rebels, VINO useo
machetes. Almost all OF the govern
ment troops killed we're found along
the railroad track. their bodies beinz
terribly mutilated.
Santa Marta Is entirely cut on frorI
communication with outside points
and the residents OF the port have seat
an appeal by sea 10 Colon for protec'
ton. II Is feared that the revolutions
lists will sack Santa Marta when they
capture Il. The stores there are closed
and the greatest terror prevails.
The attack OF the revolutionists was
entirely unexpected and owing 10 theiI
superior numbers the resistance Of tbs
government forces was half hearted
! officers OF the Valencia do not think
the Colombian government can get re-
Inducements into Santa Marta In time
10 save the town.

THE FAILING BIRTH RATE.

n lew WEEKS dSO u SOMEWHAT SENSATIONAL
educator revived the dismal theory of
Malthus-that the percentage of the in
crease Of population is much greater
than the increase in the means of subsist-
ence that the time is not far distant
when the civilized world will be face to
face with limited food supply, which
would mean starvation to many. Years
ago 1t was discovered that France was
scarcely holding its own in population;
now the vital statistics Of Great Britain
to 1901 there has been a notable decrease
in the number of children born in proper
ton to the number of married women un-
der forty-five years Of age. Until 1881 the
ten-year periods showed an increase of
the birth rate which reached 3S per
last decade showed a birth rate of 31.57
per 1000. Here is an apparent decline of
6.43 per cent in twenty years. The decline
in the birth rate during the last decade
was 2.67. This is partly offset by decline
In the death rate OF II to the 1000 but
tween the birth rate and the death rate is
steadily narrowing. This fact will relieve
any apprehension which the revival of the
Malthusian theory may have caused that
eventually the civilized world will fall a
prey to starvation.
Doubtless the same tendency-a de-
creased birth rate and death rate-will
be found in the older and rural portions
OF the United States. Years ago a public
man in an Eastern State. looking over the
census tables Of age comparisons In the
rural portions OF his congressional district
was troubled not so much at the Sigh,
loss OF population as that the population
was older than In the preceding census
caused by q falling on In the number Of
