Looks Like KeezcIl.


Senator George 3. Keezell, of Rock
ingham, will be put forward for eau
Gus chairman, and will also probably
head the Finance Committee. Captain
Z. S. Parks is mentioned as a strong
probability for president pro tenn. to
succeed Mr.. Wickham. and IL present
signs do not fail there will be gem
eral shaking up and new cut shut
file and deal In all the committees.
There will be but few of the import
ant committee chairmen returned.
Here are some of those who will be
replaced by new men: Nressrs. Shack
elford. Privileges and Elections; Stands.
General Laws; st. Clair. Roads; Wick
ham, FInhnce: Chapman, Counties,
Cities and Towns; Sears, Enrolled Bills.
The Committee on Rules Is completes
ly wiped out with the exception OF
the Northumberland who is chair
man. The other two members are
Messrs. Wickham and Shackelford.
The former has been defeated, and the
latter did not stand for re-election.
The New Nominee,
DR.. Charles q. Gravatt, who was to-
day nominated for the Senate in the
Thirty second District, is a citizen of
Port Royal. on the Rappahannock
River, and is a retired naval officer.
He is man a little past fifty years OF
age, and is practical farmer, who
has made a pronounced success of
this line of work. DIR. Gravatt is
physician by education, though he is
not in active lHactice, preferring to
devote himseT to agricultural pur-
suits When he entered the race last
spring the candidacy of DR.. Gravatt
was not seriously considered by the
big leaders of the district, most of
whom seemed to favor Mr.. Wickhams
return to the Senate. At first much
stress was laid upon the contention
that DIR. Gravatt is Ineligible on ac-
count of being retired naval off,

serious issues. and Mr.. Wickham, en-

COLUMBIA BECAME UGLY
First Elephant Born in the United
States Executed Because
of Her Temper.

Bridgeport, Conn, Nov. 9.-Columbia,
the first elephont born in this country,
was executed yesterday in the presence
of twenty-one other elephants, includ-
ing her mother, because she was con-
sidered neither safe nor sane. Column
bia was born in Philadelphia twenty
eight years ago, and was easily han
died until month or two ago.
Toward the end of the last circus
season Columbia began to have ugly
moods. Keeper Denmark was the only
person who could approach her by the
time the season closed, and the ele-
plants were housed in the winter quar-
tiers in this city.
Her ugliness at the end of this week
was such that the keeper decided there
was no cure for her. and that it was
dangerous for both man and beast to
be IN the same building with her, so
the animals execution was arranged
for.
The execution of Columbia was sim
pie. She was choked to death. Keeper
Denmark shackled her TO one corner of
the elephant barn. A rope was thrown
around her neck and, with the aid of
block and tackle. five men pulled the
rope around her neck so tight that the
elephant was choked before she had
time TO make an cutlery. Her bullying
eyes were the only sign of pain.
The body, weighing $3.50 pounds, was
dragged out of the barn by Alberta,
one of the largest elephants in the herd.
1t will be cut up into small pieces.
The hide. feet and teeth will be
saved. The teeth are to be used as
paper weights, and the feet followed
out for umbrella stands. The hide
makes fine leather covering.

TWO ACCIDENTS
ON RAILROADS
Passenger Trains Rushing
Along Collide With Freights
Waiting at the Stations.
ONE KILLED, MANY INJURED
BOTH DISASTERS COULD HAVE
BEEN AVOIDED.

West Brookfield. Mass. Nov. 9.-The
Boston & Albany express, from AL
bany for Boston, struck a freight train
which was backing out of a siding near
this station today, causing a bad wreck
and killing Charles Hurd, a brakeman
of the express. Several persons were
cut and bruised, but none were seri-
Ously injured.
The express was an hour late and the
engineer was taking advantage of the
ten miles of level track before reaching
the Charlton grade to make up some
of the lost time. A special freight
train, bound west, had been ordered to
take a switch in the yards, to permit
another freight train going west to pass
it. The special freight was standing on
the eastoound track when the express
came rushing toward it and, before the
speed of the latter could be checked, it
had plunged head-on into the engine
of the freight. The engineers and fire.
men jumped, escaping serious injury.
Directly behind the engine of the ex-
press was a buffet car, which was re-
duced to fragments. There were no
passengers in this car.
Many persons in the rear cars, how
ever, were severely shaken up by the
shock of the collision

madka, the wealthy Milwaukee wo-
man who Informally pleaded guilty to

the trial comes up next Wednesday or
Thursday he would permit the plea of
guilty made by the woman when first
arraigned to stand.
Attorney Healy at once asserted that
if this is done he would insist upon a
penitentiary sentence. He said:
IF she pleads guilty she will I'M
doubtedly be sentenced to a term of
from one to fourteen years. Informa-
ton about her crimes would be sent
to the pardon board. however, so that
if she endeavored to obtain a pardon
they would be taken into consideration.
there being several counts against her
on which she will not be sentenced.
This office would oppose any effort
TO have her sent to an asylum. and our
information is that she was sane when
the thefts were committed, and is sane
now"
Mayor Becker of Milwaukee was in
the court room today. He denied, how
ever. that his visit had any connection
with the case, and said he was not
even acquainted with the woman.

care what happens to me now"
