FUTILE ATTEMPTS :AP EXECUTION Medical Experts ‘Guyed” by the Waiting Throng. HISTORY OF THE BRUTE NEW YORK, May 11.—When “Tip,” the man-killing elephant in the Zoological Gar- den. of Central Park, was condemned to death two'days ago the park commissioners decided that the easiest way to kill him would be by administering a very potent drug. Since early yesterday morning crowds of people have gone to see the condemned ele- phant,. The great number of the visitors sympathized with the big brute, and de- clared that the commissioners had no right to pass the sentence of death upon him. Meanwhile, the big fellow stamped around in his narrow quarters, with one of his fore- feet chained, and it seemed as if he had some fcreboding of the fate which was in store for him, as he refused to eat the fresh grass given to him ail day yesterday, and simply nibbled at a few crusts of bread which Keeper Prince threw to him. Prince, by the way, has been attending to “Tip” for the last few days, because Keeper Sny- der, who has had two narrow escapes from death in dealing with the brute, was afraid to go into his cage. Word was qujetly given out late yesterday that an attempt would be made to poison the big fellow shortly after daylight this morning. About 5 a.m. there was a crowd of some 800 persons in the Zoological Gar- dens, anxiously awaiting to hear whether the death sentence would be carried out or not. At 6 o'clock Park Commissioners Clausen, Strauss and Bell, accompanied by Superintendents Smith and Burns, arrived at the arsenal. A few minutes later Drs. Huntington, Alien. and Spitzka joined them, and all these gentlemen held a long conversation presumably as to the best means of dis- patching the “man killer.” During this time “Tip” was roving r lessly around tn his cage, swinging his evormous.. trunk viciously. Kee Tom Donohue looked after him carefully, but the big fellow, who generally looked on Donohue. with favor, seemed sullen and |morose. In the next compartment “Tom,” the trick elephant, who made things lively when he felt his muscle on the night of Barnum's parade in this city, was quietly munching grass in company with the female elephant Juno. ns A few minutes after 6 o'clock these two were driven out of their cage to the open ‘Space behind the elephant house and chain- ed there, so that they would not be disturb- ed or frightened by the expected trumpet- ing of “Tip” when he would get his pill. All Spectators Excluded. The commissioners ordered a force of thirty park policemen to surround the building to keep the anxious crowds away from the doors, and none but newspaper nen and visitors armed with permits were allowed to enter the building. At 6:30 o'clock everything wes in readiness, but Dr. that it would be much better to put the spectators outside, us the animal was likely to throw poisonous saliva over them. The newspaper men were very reluctant to leave the building, as many of them had been waiting for the past two days to wit- ness the execution. ir protests were of no avail, however, and they had to leave, as the commissioners were obdurate. Exactly at 6:58:30 o'clock Otto Mopis, who has been for years an animal trainer both in Germany and this country, walked up to the cage and handed “Tip” a rosy colored apple, which had a big dose of eyanide of potassium hidden within its surface. The big fellow nibbled it fora moment with his trunk, and finally put it in his capacious mouth, but when he crunched it between his teeth he evidently felt that there was something wrong with the taste and spat it out on the floor of his cage. Mopis then ‘tried him with a carrot, which was similarly drugged, but “Tip” refused to taste it, as he did another apple and carrot, which were passed to him after- ward. Keeper Mopis then gave “Tip” a piece of bread containing about two ounces of..the deadly drug, but the big fellow, after munching it slowly @ couple of times, threw it Also on the floor. “Tip” undoubt- edly had his misgivings about the dainty morsels which were fed to him, but the doctors said that he had certainly got enough poison into his system to kill a dozen horses. Affected by the Potson. ‘The drug did net seem to have very much effect on him until nearly an hour after- ward, when the. violent motions of his head, body and trunk became less rapid, and his legs seemed to be getting weaker. This did not satisfy the doctors, however, and they retired to the arsenal to consult as to the best method of dispatching him. About a quarter of an hour later Dr. Huntington and Commissioner Strauss re- turned to the elephant house, but they ade no effort to give any more poison to “Tip.” The latter was evidently regaining his lost vitality, and. when Commissioners Clausen and Bell arrived they were sorely puzzled as to what was the best thing to lo. Two repeating rifles, fully loaded, lay conspicuously in a corner of the cage, but at the direction of the commissionezs these were taken back to the arsenal. Guying the Poisoners. The crowd outside, which had by this time increased to about two thousand, be- gan “guying” the commissioners and doc- tors, and many jokes were passed on the Mability of the latter to poison the: “man kille: p This guying evidently. annoyed these per- sonages, and the policemen were directed to drive the crowd back and to stretch ropes across the avenue, thereby preventing any outsider from coming within fifty yards of the building. Even the newspaper men were refused admittance within this charm- ed circle, and the only information to be derived ‘as to the condition of the elephant came through the keepers who were attend- ing him. ‘The Jatest reports were to the effect that “Tip” looked a little “groggy,” but other- wise vivacious as ever. The keep- ers, un he direction of the physicians, hoped to be able to induce the brute to swallow some more of the drug this after- noon, and thus end his life. Before the doctors began operations this morning it was generdily conceded that “Tip” would be an easy mark to their science of drugs, but when all their efforts seemed to prove futile the medical experts looked to be sore- ly puzzled and disgusted. Killer of Eight Persons. Keeper Mopis told an Associated Press reporter that “Tip” was captured wild in | the jungles near Ceylon, India, in 1878, and was purchased by Victor Emanuel. The animal was kept in the Zoological Gardens |in Toulon for three years, and during his stay there he killed his keener. He was | afterward sold to Hagenbeck, the German animal trainer, and was brought to Ham- | burg from Toulon in an tron box, sccom- paniéd by Mopts, who then made his ac- Adam | quaintance, Forepaugh — tmported | him to this country im 1881, and he arrived here on the 18th of Merch of that year. | The brute was always vicious, and during his carecr in this country he has sdded seven other victims to his death roll. CREATED A SENSATION. One of the Charges Against the N. P. r Receivers Proven, NEW YORK, May 11.--The investigation into Northern Pacific affairs was continued this morning in the Mills building. The minutes of the meeting of the Oregon and Transcontinental directors for January 18, 1890, were read in full. They created some- thing of a sensation, as they showed that the plan of leasing the Chicago and Novth- ern Pacific to the Northern Pacifie was fully understood before the formation of the former company, and that it was formed for the purpose of so leasing it. ‘This has always been denied by the Chi- cago and Northern Pacific people.

No roy- alist candidates were in the field, and con- sequently no such interest was taken in the election. The American Union party had five candidates and six other ran independ- artly. Of the regular ticket three were elected, one of whom is a descendant of the old reigning family, the Kamehamehas, and the last of his race. The cumulative ballot system was used, and votes were cast. As each power allowed six votes the toal votes were 1,201 out of a possible 1,700. Tbe Portuguese voted solidly for their two candidates and elected both. . Returns from the other islands are not yet In, but as there was very little opposi- tion to the American Union party ticket, no ecntest is expected. G. R, Wilson, the ex-queen’s marshal, Las been arrested on a charge of being an ac- cessory before the fact in a mayhem case. Wilson, who was present at a bar room fight, in which a “tough” royalist and an annexationist were the principals, is said to have encouraged his royalist. friend, advis- ing him to “kill the annexationist.’ During the fracas, the royalist, it is charged, bit a piece out of his opponent's ear. Wilson is suspected of having invited the fight. He was released on $1,000 bail, and his case comes up today. Admiral Walker and his staff have been spending considerable time at Pearl Harbor recently, making soundings and inspecting the surrounding country. No definite jocal- ity has as yet beer decided upon for the naval station, in spite of reports to the con- trary. A number of prominent royalists have set Jure 1 as Restoration day. It is stated they expect to be fully atmed by that time, and if no help is recetved from the United States, they intend to make an attack on the provisional government. The govern- ment officials take no stock in the rumor, however. The sandbags which have su rounded the executive building ever since last December, have been removed, and the military force is being gradually reduced. ———>_—_—— DISEASE FROM “SWEAT SHOPS.” Rigid Inspection to Be Made in Chi- engo by Health Officers. CHICAGO, May 11.—By the concerted ac- tion of the health officers of llinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana, small- pox 's to be stamped out of Chicago and the west. Within a few days, not later than’ Monday, extra physicians ahd extra inspec- tors will attack the plague in the sweat shop districts. This was decided upon at a conference of the health officers, Dr. Rey- rolds and a committee of wholesale clothing manufactur: The immense wholesale clothing interests, recognizing the need of prompt action, will pay the bill. ‘They de- clare emphatically that no infected clothing has been sent from the city, and under the rew conditions such a thing will be im- possible. Those present were Health Commissioner Reynolds of Chicago, Secretary J. W. Scott of the Illinois board of health, Secretary H. B. Barker of the Michigan board, C. N. Metcalf and Dr. D. C. Ramsey of the In- diana board, Secretary J. T. Reif of Wis- consin, Secretary Probst of the Ohio board, Surgeon John B. Hamilton of the marine hospital and Mrs. Florence Kelly, state fac- tory inspector. The conference was called by the commis- sioners of the several states, who threat- ened to forbid the entrance into their states of manufactured textile garments. After reconnoitering among the sweat shops and ent houses, they were convinced ‘that not policy to permit clothing to be shipped out of the city much longer. Thus far there is no evidence that any infected garments have been placed on the market, since the clothing manufacturers them- selves have taken every precaution to pro- tect their business, and yesterday they readily agreed to adopt any measure that would drive the contagion out of the city, and they cheerfully agreed to pay the ex- pense of a daily inspection of the tenerhent houses and sweat shops. sd TO CLOSE THE BREACH. Trying to Bring Harmony Into the Irish Party, LIVERPOOL, May 11.—The Irish League of Great Britain will hold a convention here tomorrow. There will be a demonstra- tion on Sunday and a banquet on Monday. A member, outlining the objects of the gathering, explained that the Irish Nation- al League of Great Britain was, in his opinion, similar to the Irish National Fed- eration of America, arti consists “of Irish exiles who have played an important role in Irish politics during the past fifteen years." He added that, in his view,’ “the members of the Irish National League of Great Britain are better trained in the in- tricacies of English politics and perhaps more ardently nationalist than the Irishmen at home. By electing Chas. Stewart Par- nell president in 1876, instead of Mr. Jsaac Butt, the members gave the former the first great advantage of his political career and paved the way’ to the modern Irish policy. When the split came their unani- mous vote against Mr. Parnell did much to break his power.” In conclusion, the Associated Press’ | in- formant said that the members now meet at the time of a great crisis and amidst the striggle going on between the Healyites and the majority of the party. Mr. Justin Mc- Carthy, M.P., Mr. Michael Davitt, Mr. John Dilion, M.P., and other leaders will attend the convention and will endeavor to heal the breach existing between them and the Healyites. The result will have an im- portant effect upon the future Irish policy. It is expected that T. P. O'Connor, M.P., who has been president of the ‘league since 1882, but who, latterly, has been at- tacked: in the Healyite organ, the Irish Catholic, will be re-elected and that the policy of the majority will be reaffirmed by an overwhelming majority. i Nevertheless there is much anxiety as to the result. —e A HORSE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE. It Went Mad After Being Bitten by a Rabid Dog. WESTMINSTER, Md., May 11.—About five weeks ago two hcifers and a valuable horse, belonging to Mr. Philip Plater of Sandyville, were bitten by a rabid dog. The helfers went mad on the twenty-second day after they were bitten. The horse showed no symptoms of the diseage, but was sent to the livery stables of Mr. Jacob Thompson in this city for treatment, Yes- terday morning the arimal became frantic and fugious ‘with hydrophobia. He was barred against injuring any person or ‘other animal, and so, in the paroxysm of the dis- ease, bit furiously into the timbers of his Stall, and tore the flesh from his own limbs and body by mouthfuls. He was killed to end his sufferings. eae A Popular Move in Mlinois. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 11.—At the in- stigation of the populists of this state, it is anounced that Judge W. S. Blair of Je?- ferson county has decided to attack the constitutionality of the senatorial appor- tionment acts of 1898 and 1802, _ Dead With the Gas Turned on. PHILADELPHIA, May 11.—Lillie Turner, aged sixteen years, was found dead in her room this morning, at the residence of her grandfather, Adam Warthman, in this city, ss North Front street. The gas was turned on full head and death was due to asphyxiation. It is believed that she com- mitted suicide. >. - Murdered by a Fellow Prisoner, CHICAGO, May 11.—James Maher, a prisoner in the Bridewell, was murdered last night by his cell mate, George Dunlap, who became suddenly insane. Maher's head was beaten to a pulp on the stone floor before assistance could reach him. A terrific struggle took place between the guards and the madman before he was overpowered. PiscieR Rites May Sue the Pennsylvania. NEW YORK, May 11.—Some dissatisfied stockholders of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company have appointed a com- mittee to confer with other stockholders of the road, and if deemed advisable, to commence suit against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the lessee of the road, whigh, it is claimed, has not fulfilled the terms of the lease. Se ee Pension Attorney Moore Acquitted. ROCHESTER, N. Y., May 11.—In the United States district court today the jury in the case of W. B. Moore, charged with taking illegal pension fees, after being out all night, returned a verdict of not guilty. THE PUBLIC PARKS. The Pop B ss on Them. The proposal to locate the government printing office in some public reservation has called out expressions -of disapproval very generally from citizens. Mr. B. F. Atherton, writing to The Star, says: “The citizens of Washington certainly owe to your paper an immeasurable gratitude for its strong editorial a few days since against any further occupancy of our beautiful parks by public buildings. If Congress were to consider the equities of the case it is improbable that it would consent to be the medium of perpetrating such a base discourtesy, not to say injustice, upon the residents of our national capital by restrict- ing in any degree the benefits accruing from reservations which have been set apart spe- cifically for its embe}lishment. “‘Short-sighted economy’ does not convey anything like an adequate censure. It is downright disrespect for our rights and a most shameful disregard of the ex- pectations of the residents as to the city’s future dignity and attractiveness. “Why not, then, resort to united protest? Will not that influential and representative body, the Washington Board of Trade, take the matter under consideration and forward to Congress appropriate resolutions, protest- ing against the selection of any of our pub- Ue reservations as “cs site for the govern- ment printing office’ “It inay be that in the multitude of duties in the interest of their own districts Con- gress does not fully apprehend the senti- ment which exists against the course they have ulready inaugurated.” Some Economical Suggestions. Another correspondent writes the follow- ing: ‘The House of Representatives has de- cided that the government cannot afford to purchase a site for a new government print- ing office, and has ordered a committee to select a site for the proposed new rt I beg to suggest Lafayette Square for the purpose. It is a convenient location, near the residences of many of the Congressmen. The square will give ample room for the building, and also furnish space enough for stables for the use of the office. The ground upon which the present office building stands could be sold, and the old material in the present building could be used in the new one. To still further economize, and for the purpose of raising revenue for the support of the goverrment, the agricultur.l, monument and other suitable grounds might be rented for truck gardens. The botanical gardens to some enterprising florist, the Zoological Park to experienced ‘menag- erlal man’ (limiting the adrhission fee to 25 cents in the contract); the flats leased to railroad corporations or the sugar trust for a refinery; the woodland in the National Park cut and sold for cordwood, and the celebrated stone quarries and gold mines therein worked by hiring convict labor from some of the states which are in that bus- ness, ‘for economy and reform.’ By thus ullizing every source of revenue several hundred dollars could be raised for the support of the government. Garfield Park as a Site. Mr. M. I. Weller has written a letter to Mr. Bankhead, chairman of the House com- mittee on public buildings and grounds, to refute the objection to locating the govern- ment printing office there because of ma- laria. Mr, Weller says: “While I am per- sonally opposed to the use of our public parks for building purposes, it is neverthe- less true that Garfield Park, or reservation 17, was originally intended to be utilized as the site for our city hall, it having been designated on all the old maps as the “Town Hall Square,” which building was to be erected on that portion of the reservation fronting on 3d street east and bounded by South Carolina avenue and Virginia avenue. This location was selected for that purpose by Maj. L’Enfant and approved by Presi- dent George Washington. Another fact I wish to emphasize, and that is in respect to its elevation, which ranges from fifty-two to sixty-two feet above high tide, whereas the site of the P mwerege: government printing office ts only twenty-five to twenty- seven fect, so its transfer to would be an ideal one, judging it from a sanitary standpoint.

Richard Croker’s official connection with Tammany Hall of New York ceased yester- day, when he handed in his resignation as chairman of the finance committee. The resignation was accepted. Mr. Croker was in the wigwam until 6 o'clock. He shook hands with his followers before he left. No one has yet been appointed leader in his place, nor will there be until after the next campaign. John McQuade will succeed Mr. | Croker as chairman of the finance commit- tee. The position will be merely honorary, and not nearly the power attached to it in the past. Mr. Croker thanked the members of the committee for the kind manner in which they had treated him when working to- gether. His determination to resign was the result of inability to attend to the mani- fold duties of the organization. Isaac Wyman moved that the chair a point a committee of three to draft suitable resolutions to be presented to Mr. Croker on bis retirement. James W. Boyle got in a substitute referring the matter to the exec- utive committee, which was done. 200 a test of armor plate, with some remarkable results, at Indian Head yesterday. A 6-Inch Harveyized Carnegie plate which had been rejected by the in- spectors because of surface cracks was given to the government for experimental purposes. This plate was attacked by a 6-inch gun, the official test shot having a pvelocity of 1,619 teet. Although the plate had no backing, the shell failed to penetrate it, and even when the velocity of the pro- Jectiles was run up to 1,000 and then to 2,000 feet per second penetration coul jt be attained. ee ————+-e+—___-_ mts a Divorce, Anna Louisa Sutton, whose maiden name was Guigon, has filed a petition for a divorce from George W. Sutton. Through an unintentional mistake her name was given as Lizzie at the marriage, which took place in this city December 27, 1875, the Rev. Chas. D. Andrews officiating. Mrs. Sutton alleges that there are five children now living, under her care and in her cus- tody, and that they are supported by her father, Peter Guigon, sr. She states.in her petition that her husband has been contin- uously unmindful of his marriage vows: that he is a drunkard; that he has often abused her and their children, and that during the past ten years he has con- tributed nothing to their support. She there- fore prays that she be granted a divorce, with the right to resume her maiden name; that she be given the custody of the chil- dren, and that the defendant be restrained from interfering with or molesting the pe- Utioner and her children, —_——_—_ Washington Water.
