This is said to be the first born in captivity in America, Managers of the Zoolog- ical garden say that none have been born in captivity elsewhere except in London, andnone there aince 1877. The youngster at the Zoo is nearly 534 feet high and his estimated weight is 150 pounds. Daisy, the mother, stands 17 feet high She cares nothing for her young and if not guarded would trample it to death. It takes nourishment freely from a bottle. The youngster will be kept ina fenced-off corner of the mother’s stable. Much curiosity was felt F.

Horrible Ending of the Life of a Prom!- nent Lawyer of St. Louis. Frank J. Bowman, one of the most widely known lawyers in St. Louis, was brutally killed yesterday by B. M. Chambers, a well-known citizens. Bowman resided in St. Louis for many years, achieved notoriety in Chicago in connection with the suit filed by Ida Morsman to establish a common law marriage, and re- cently removed to New York, where he had an office in the Union bank building on Broadway. The killing grew out of the trouble between the parties over the Times newspaper. Cham- bers was a large stockholder and principal owner of the paper up to the time of his de- mise. Bowman was also financially interested in it, He bought among other things the Associated Press franchise of the paper, and has been in litigation over the matter with Chambers ever since. He went to St. Louisa few days ago to collect an old claim. He was hard up and in want of money. He obtained a writ from the sheriff's office, went to Cham- bers’ residence in Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis, in company with a deputy, and an- nounced to Chambers that he proposed to levy on all the property in sight. Chambers en- tered the house, returned with a double-bar- relled shotgun and ordered the deputy to leave the premises, After the officer had retired Chambers gave Bowman three minutes in which to leave. The attorney didn’t move and Chambers pulled the trigger, emptying the contents of one barrel in Bowman's heart, killing him instantly, A sheriff's posse arrested the murderer and re- moved him to Clayton, county seat of St. Louis county The city is wild with excitement, as Bowman was widely known, having engaged in some of the most disreputable legal schemes ever known in the city. He was extremely audacious in his methods and belonged to the class of de- tective lawyers. He was a power in local po- litical circles, and owing to his abuse of the deposition business the entire notary law of the state was changed. He was debarred five years ago for taking fees in both sides of a great gas litigation, His first wife, whom he abused shamefully and whom he accused of all sorts of vile practices in his divorce petition, was pros- trated tonight by the news of his death. His second wife, who was a Miss Estelle Platt of New York, ismow on her way home from Eu- rope. The Ida Bowman divorce suit referred to grew outage breakfast table promise by Bow- man to make Ida Morsman his wife, the Chicago courts sustaining the common law marriage. Bowman was worth $500,000, but all of it was tied up in litigation, +e —____ WHAT THE CZAR MIGHT DO. He Should Inform Himself of the Com- plaints of His People. George Kennan lectured on Siberia in Lewistown, Me., the other night. On his arrival he was interviewed by a reporter and among other things he said: “Ihave every reason to believe that my articles in the Century are read by the czar. The czar’s power is not absolute to correct the evils Ihave described, but he could do much toimprove matters. WhatI blame him for chiefly is his entire lack of any effort or inclina- tion to find out for himself the condition of things in his empire. He receives all his in- formation second hand from his ministers and has but an indefinite idea of the condition of things. It would be the first impulse of any American that I ever met, if he went on a train from 8t. Petersburg to Moscow and saw all along the line soldiers standing thick as telegraph poles to guard him from possible attempts at assassination, to ask him- self what made such a guard necessary and what there was about his government that would make men desperate enough to attempt such deeds, This never seems to occur to the czar, however.

Refusal by the House of Deputies to Change the Matrimonial Service. In the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church in New York yesterday the report in favor of ceding a portion of the dio- cese of Michigan and making it a missionary diocese was approved. Dr. Hart moved that the house of deputies concur with the bishops in the addition to the service for the solemni- zation of matrimony, moving that between the word “which” and the words ‘is commended” in the exhortation an additional clause be in- Fi serted enlarging the designation. The motion was lost, the house refusing to concur with the bishops by a small majority. A prayer for patience under suffering was next adopted. ‘The second section in the communion of the sick, providing that “in the times of con- tagious sickness or disease, or when extreme weakness renders it srpedient, ashort prayer suffice,” was adopted. With proposal to substitute the word —— for “mii ” in the communion of sick in the present rubrics, the house of deputies refused to con- cur. The first section in the order for the burial of the dead was adopted, the second voted down. The subsection omitting the selec- tion of — for holy dave was Sage The bishops notified the house of deputies that they could not concur with ag ad- journing on Thursday, October 24, and asked = : omnes of conference. It was ap- poin' _The last amendment adopted by the house of bishops, providing for changes in the consecra- tion of bishops was adopted. The house then adjourned, EPISCOPAL BOARD OF MISSIONS. The board of missions of the Protestant Epis- copal church held its final meeting and ad- journed sine die last night. Bishop Burgess of Quincy | ier A resolution was offered by Paulus Moort of Liberia asking that the sala- ries of missionaries in that jurisdiction be fixed at $850 and deacons at $500, payable quarterly. The resolution was favorably recei' but ac- tion was deferred. The report of the treasurer of the board showed that the children contrib- uting to the Lent missionary tund numbered 190,000. The aggregate received in money from this fund was $46,705, no less than 1,629 Sunday schools being represented by the donors, The triennial report of the church building fund was read by its treasurer, Judge Prince of New Mexico. It displayed a most lasers condi- tion of the fund. After referring the final dis- position of the moribund million dollar enroll- ment fund to the board of managers the board adjourned. THE BALTIMORE’S TRIAL. A Second Test Will be Had, With Competent Indicators. From the Philadelphia Times, Although active preparations are being made to have the Baltimore ready for her second trial trip, the Cramps have not as yet received any official communication from the Secretary of the Navy as to when the trial board will be reconvened, Nothing is yet known as to who will comprise the board, but it will probably be the same as at the first trial, with the single exception of Engineer Ayers, who after the first trial was ordered to other duty. Since then the Baltimore has been dry-docked and her hull given a new coat of paint, as was recommended by the trial board in their report to Secretary Tracy. Upon this trip she will be weighted down to her lines with coal, which will be put aboard in a day orso. The indica- tors which will be used on the trip will be thoroughly tested, so that there can be no room for doubt on that score, One of the Cramps. in aking of the Balti- more yesterday, said: “We were thoroughly satisfied with the performance of the Baltimore during her other trip and the result of the computation of the indicator cards was a sur- prise to us. On the coming trip we shall use the auxiliary boilers, woich was not done before. and force the engines for all they are worth. I believe the result of this trial give an even higher rate of horse power than was attained on her prior tri Hazing the Naval Academy. Annapolis Special to the Baltimore Sun, A court-martial at the United States naval academy is engaged in investigating charges of “hazing” against certain members of the third class, So far two have been implicated. The penalty is dismissal. The accused are Ed- gar E. Arison of Pennsylvania, whose counsel are J. M. Munroe and Ensign Wilkinson of the navy, and Herbert E. McReavy of Washington territory, who is represented by Lieut. J. B. Briggs of the navy. Standing a cadet on his head is one of the pranks said to have been in- duiged in ed the hazers. A young man named Johnson, who recently came here from North Carolina, after having walked a considerable distance to enter the examination, is said to have been one of the victims of this forbidden sport. The court is composed of Commander jenry Glass, penenpe jieut, E. H.C. Lentze, Commander Walker, with Lieuts Richard Wainwright as judge advocate. Objection hav- ing been raised to Commander Glass, because of his having investigated the case before a court of inguiry his place on the court-martial will probably be supplied by another.
