Between Animal ana Keepers.

Between Animal ana Keepers.
An exciting story of a balloons es.
cape from Its cage on the Unlon-C Castle
liner Comrle Castle was told when the
vessel reached Plymouth OH the way
to London, with large collection Of
wild animals OH board. including five
wolves and eight gebras, the property
Of Herr Wlndhorn.
Herr Windhorn, who for thirty years
has collected wild animals. which he
sells to dealers and geological gardens,
said the baboon stood feet u inches
In height and was very wild. About
week after leaving Cape Town 1t
broke out of Its cage, but fortunately
the escape was discovered before the
animal reached the deck. For two
days, however, 1t was at liberty In the
hold, showing fight whenever 1t was
approached.
An effort to snare the bnboon by
the cargo nets was found impracticable
on account Of the 15.foot leaps which
the animal made whenever 1t was ap.
preached. At length Herr windhorn
ventured into the hold with his keeper
and endeavored to secure the baboon,
the keeper Offering 1t food while the
owner tried to come to close quar-.
tiers.
Herr windhorn's foot caught in net
and he slipped, whereuron the baboon
at once made furious onslaught on
him. fastening his teeth In the collec.
tors leg. 1t was impossible to shake
Off the powerful beast. In his effort
to release himself Herr windhorn tried
to force open the Jaws of the baboon
with his hands. lie was in measure
successful, but the baboon quickly fas-
tened his fangs In Herr Windhorn's
right hand, which was injured even
more extensively than the leg. The
keeper. who hurried to his masters
aid, quickly became the subject Of at
tack, the baboon inflicting several bites
on him, while the boatswain of the
liner was also bitten.
The beast nfterward refused to be
overcome by half bottle Of whisky
and a dose Of opium powerful enough
to poison ten men was also given him
in bottle Of lemonade without effect
Eventually u large grating was fixed
outside the companion way and then
by means of display Of fruit the
brute was coaxcd near II and rs he
stretched an arm through the grating
to grasp an orange he was secured
Legs and arms were ut length tightly
dashed. after which the baboon attach.
cd TO the grating was returned to his
cage and then released. lie died four
days later and Herr Wlndhorn says he
thinks death was due to broken heart

Special to The Washington Herald.
Baltimore. Md. Dec. 26.-Five new
lines. to be ready for operation in the
summer Of 1907. are being planned by
the United Railways and Electric Com
pany.
During the last year the United re
constructed much Of its track. but early
in the spring it was realized that the

cient to finance the improvements plan
ned. Accordingly. interests friendly TO

panv. had It amended by the legislature.
broadening the powers. and then, after
a consolidation with the Baltimore and
Annapolis Short Line Railroad. under
the name Of the Maryland Electric
Railways Company, a plan was an
nounced for providing the United with
all the improvements it might need. An
issue of $4,000. 900 of first mortgage >
per cent bonds was authorized by the
stockholders Of the company. and
81. O0O. 600 Of the bonds were issued and
underwritten by a local syndicate OF
bankers. The United also made public
al the same time plan for funding the
interest on its income bonds from June,
1904. up 10 and including 1910.
The new lines planned by the United
will be constructed by the Maryland
Company and leased to the parent
company, as viii be All other improve
ments provided, at an annual rental
equal 20 per cent OF the actual cost
Of the property. The Maryland COM

Of per cent per annum. and the rental

Prick MAY HEAD PENNSY.
Election Of Directory Only a Step
ping stone, Is Belief.

Pittsburg, Pa. Dec. 2s.-The news that
Henry c. Prick was to-day elected a diree-
tor in the Pennsylvania Railroad at the
Philadelphia meeting. succeeding Almost
r. Little, caused quite little stir In
Pittsburg. and it is freely predicted that
there will be much Of interest develop on
this line within the coming year. The old
talk Of Prick succeeding Cassatt as presi-
dent is even revived.
Stronger than rumOr, however, stands
the fact that Frick has agreed TO get into
the working Of the big railroad system
himself. With his sixty thousand shares
Of stock there has never been time
when Mr.. Frick could not have been made
a director OF this line had he so wiiled,
and the fact that he has now slipped into
the board seems 10 show IN Pittsburg that
there viii be something done with Frick
at the helm.
