Big Brutes Are Used to Lift Streetcar
Wreck.
A New York dispatch says: When
two trolley cars crashed together on
Sixth avenue at FOrty-second street,
near the Hippodrome. they blocked
the street and tangled up traffic. A
press agent saw his golden opportun-
ity and ordered his Hippodrome ele.
plants to the rescue.
Many persons were slightly bruised
and cut by the flying glass, but all
were extricated without much trouble
from the wreckage except Hugh Kier.
nan, who was held prisoner under
the trucks of two cars.
At word of command from the
trainer the four big brutes bent down
their heads, got their trunks under
the wreckage and brought the trucks
up about six inches and the man un.
derneath was dragged out and hurried
off to the hospital. His right leg was
crushed. The elephants also moved
the wrecked cars around out of the
way SO that street traffic could be re
sumed, and then walked in a single
file back to the show house.

Their Automobile Run Over a Child in
Italy.

italy.
A Florence, Italy, dispatch says:
The incident at Pontedera recently,
which involved the detention there
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. K Vanderbilt, Jr.,
and their chauffeur, turns out to have
been much more serious that at first
reported.
The Vanderbilt automobile, it ap.
pears, was not going at excessive
speed, but when turning a sharp cor
ner in Pontedera it ran down a child,
a boy about years old, and injured
him about the head. Though the boy
was not seriously hurt, his face was
covered with blood.
Matters reached very critical stage
and Mr.. Vanderbilt, believing that the
lives of the party were in danger,
drew a revolver.
Before he could use the weapon,
however, several men jumped into the
automobile, disarmed Mr.. Vanderbilt
and kicked and cuffed him.
BY this time the police had become
aware that something unusual was
happening and a party of gendarmes
hurried to the scene to protect the AL.
tomobilists. Owing to the fury of the
people, the officers took the Vanderbilt
party into a neighboring shop for
safety.

British and German Vessels Get
ChiIe's Trade.

Consul Mansfield, at Valparaiso IN
report to the state department says
that out of total of $4,000 900 annual
tonnage of vessels entering Chilean
ports, those flying the American nag
represented only $4,000 tons. GreaI
Britain's flag covered 100000 tons
and German ships aggregated 3,OOO,W
tons. The trade of the United States
fell back from $11,OOO,0OO in 1903 %
$10,C0O,00O in 1904, notwithstanding
Chile greatly increased her purchases.
The Chilean government, the consul
says. is planning many new railroaus
and extensions The transandine RAJ
way, when completed, will shorten inc
time between Chile and Europe ~
II days. Consul Leroy, at Durans1
writes that Mexico will soon have

Famous Cathedral Of Notre Dame Cen.
ter Of Excitement-Gr Crowds
Assembled to Watch French Off
Gals Take inventories Of Catholic
Characteristics Blown Open.

A Paris dispatch says: The famous
cathedral of Notre Dame was the cen.
ter of much excitement Saturday,
which later took the form of disor-
derby manifestation against former
President Loubet. Crowds assembled
in the Place Notre Dame, expecting
the authorities to come and take an
inventory of the chapter house, and a
force of $50 policemen patrolled the
surrounding streets expecting trouble
within the ediice, but as the authori-
ties did not attempt an inventory, this
did not take place. The crowds out
side gradually increased in numbers,
however, and finally several hundred
persons marched to the Rue Dante,
where M. Loubet has taken up his
residence The manifestants passed
before the house of the former presi-
dent, uttering insulting cries against
him. The police then drove off the
crowd, which, however, reassembled
and turned, only to be dispersed again
A slight ARRAY took place between the
police and the manifestants as the
latter sought to return once more,
and a dozen arrests were made.
The explanation of the movement
against M. Loubet is that the bill for
separation of church and state became
a law during his administration.
Inventories were made at several
Paris churches, though. At the aristo.
cratic church of st. Thomas Aquinas,
the project Of police, with strong
body of men, had to force his way
through long passage into the
sacristy, owing to the resistance made
by a number or the parishioners. The
priests then refused to hand over the
keys and the project caused the safes
to be broken open. An inventory OF
the property was then made.
Ten arrests were made, General
Recamier being among those taken
into custody.
