A FIGHT OVER A MODERATOR
Liberals in the General Assembly
Beaten by a Narrow Margin.
The Assembly Composed Largely of
New Men and Much Interest Felt in
How They Stood on the Issues Be
fore the Church—All Calculations
Upset by the Kesult of the Day’s
Balloting.
Saratoga, N. Y., May 17.—The one
hundred and sixth general assembly of
the Presbyterian church was convened
to-day by Moderator W. G. Craige in the
auditorium of the First Presbyterian
church. The assembly is composed
largely of new men, few of whom have
taken any part in the struggle that has
brought the Presbyterian church into
prominence the past few years. Esti
mates have been made as to how these
new men stood cn the issues before the
assembly, but to-day's contest for the
moderator upset all these estimates.
Delegates all over the house kept tab on
the vote as it was in progress. Before
tfie tellers had summed up the. result it
was learned that of the four candidates
the liberal man was far in the lead.
THE ASSEMBI.T IN UPROAR.
The New Yorkers made efforts to get
their votes changed by the moderator,
and in a moment the assembly was in an
uproar. Loud calls of “order” were
beard all over the church. Dozens of
preachers were on their feet at once, cry
iug out to the moderator. On a second
%ote the liberal was defeated by but
eleven votes. This announcement was
loudly questioned by the liberals, but the
moderator ignored the clamorings and
declared Dr. Samuel A. Mutchmore, of
Philadelphia, the moderator.
The other three candidates were Rev.
Arthur J. Brown, of Portland, Ore.; Rev.
William B. Noble, of California; and Dr.
James Gardner, of Gloverviile, N. Y.
The roll is arranged by synods in alpha
betical order,beginning with the southern
cities, where the churches are chiefly
mission stations.
BRIGGS MEN BACK BROWN.
On the first ballot it was seen that not
only the Briggs men, but all the young
preachers and elders from these sections
were voting for Dr. Brown. Committees
from the New York Presbyteries, nearly
100 in number, were counted upon to vote
almost solid for Dr. Gardner, but Dr.
Brown received 23 of these votes. The
New York city delegation was also
divided. Dr. Birch and Elder Worrall
voting for Dr. Mutchmore. The vote, as
summarized, showed Dr. Brown about 30
votes in the lead, with Dr. Gardner cred
ited with about 100 votes.
A RUSH TO CHANGE VOTES.
Col. McCook, from the New York dele
gation, arose in his seat and requested
the tellers to change his vote from Dr.
Gardner to Dr. Mutehmore. Other New
Yorkers followed with the same request,
and immediately there was an uprising of
Gardner men to get themselves counted
on the Mutehmore side. The home mis
sionaries arose against this,and attempted
to check the tide. They made motions
and raised points of order.
A motion was finally made to hear the
report of the tellers. This was carried
with a whirl. Here is the vote as an
nounced; Brown 223, Mutehmore 207,
Gardner 96, Dinsmore 24.
MUTCHMORE WINS.
Dr. Duffield then withdrew Dr. Gard
ner’s name. Dr. Dinsmore was also with
drawn and the roll was called. again for
rotes on Dr. Mutchmore’s and Dr.
Brown’s names. It was after 6 o’clock
when the call was over, and
the result announced. Dr. Mutehmore
received 281 votes and Dr. Brown 269. A
committee was dispatched to inform the
successful candidate, and in a pleasant
exchange of courtesies retiring Moder
ator Craig welcomed his successor to the
platform and passed over the gavel into
his hand, The assembly then adjourned
after the most surprising contest for mod
erator in its history.
The evening session was' given up to
the regular service of the holy commun
ion in which all of the commissioners
joined.

CONFERENCE OF THE MINERS.
The Two Interests Unable to Agree
and Adjourn.
Cleveland, Ohio, May 17.—The great
conference between the representatives of
300,000 striking miners and operators, rep
resenting every coal mining district in the
Lnited States, has ended in failure.
The two interests came together.presented
their demands, discussed the condition of
the mining trade in all its bearings
louna their differences irreconcilable,
ana will depart for their homes leaving
the situation at the mines in apparently
the same condition of suspense that they
were before the conference was called.
But that condition is in fact, more
apparent than real. One of the most
prominent operators in the Pittsburg
district said to-night that within a week
the miners would be at work, and that
they would receive practically the scale
of wages for which they have been con
tending in the conference that has iust
adjourned.
REPORTED TO THE CONVENTION.
The conference committee of miners
and operators reported to the joint con
vention this morning their inability to
agree and the time until noon was spent
in speech-making without any apparent
effect. The offer of the operators was 65
cents in Pennsylvania and 56 in Ohio
while the miners held out for 70 and 75
cents.
Finally Col. Rend, of Chicago, urged
both sides to make concessions, proposing
a compromise of 60 and 60 cents. His re”
marks were applauded by both miners
and operators. An adjournment was
taken till 2:30 p. m.
. When the conference re-assembled in
the afternoon, the speech making was
continued. Mr. Chapman, of Pittsburg,
speaking for the operators, and Patrick
Mcßride and John Cairns for the miners.
THE MINERS CONFER.
Then President Mcßride of the miners’
union asked the operators and spectators
to retire from the halt in order that the
miners might hold a conference. This
was done, and a conference lasting an
hour was held. At its < onclusion Presi
dent Mcßride offered a resolution reciting
that.whereas, a large number of operators
who had refused to attend the conference
and refused the hand of reconciliation
and peace which had been extended to
them, the miners believed that any set
tlement arrived at in the absence of those
operators would only add to and
accentuate the miserable condition
of the miners, and that it was
impossible to make any settlement
with the operators who had met
them there. While appreciating the
efforts of the operators who had attended
the conference to reach a settlement, the
miners asked their co-operation in bring
ing peaceable and persuasive pressure to
beer upon the absent operators to induce
them to agree to terms with the miners.
These resolutions were offered to the
conference as expressing the views of the
miners, and as there seemed to be nothing
more to do the conference adjourned sine
die.

Ruling Prices of the Big Things Which
Fill Up Circus Cages.
From the London Court Journal.
Few people have any idea of the mar
ket value of the various animals shown
in zoological gardens. It seems that the
top price at the present moment would
be that for the purchase ofa giraffe. The
price is steady at 111.200, and at that fig
ure the demand exceeds the supply. A
hippopotamus is worth £'800; a two
horned rhinoceros is of the same value,
the second horn making a difference of
£2OO. Elephants range from £3OO to £BOO,
temper and size being considered.
Lions range from £l6O to £240, and a
license costs £200; tigers are quoted at
the same figure. A really fine specimen
of the grizzly bear is worth S2OO. Polar
bears cost £l6O. Camels go by the hump;
one having one hump is worth £7O, and
and two humps bring the market value
up to £BO. Ostriches are valued at £l6O
apiece. The American buffalo is worth
£IOO. The Rocky Mountain goat is
quoted rather high, £IOO, while panthers
and leopards are plentiful at £SO each,
and hyenas and pumas go for £35.

TIP DIED LIKE A HERO.
Central Part’s Rogue Elephant
Proved Game to the Last.
The Animal Refused All Tempting
Morsels After Swallowing a Carrot
Containing Cyanide of Potassium
and Permission to Allow Him to be
Shot Was Refused—lmpressive
Scenes About the Cage.
From the Philadelphia Times.
New York, May 11.—Despite all the
scientific discussion that preceded the
carrying out of the death sentence pro
nounced on Tip, the Central park ele
phant, by the park commissioners, the
attempt made to execute him to-day was
a bungling one. The late experiments
upon Guinea pigs and othe previous tests
with animals smaller than pachyderms
seemed to fail as an experience upon
which to base expectation of similar ef
fects on so mammoth an organism as
that of an elephant.
It was decided late yesterday thart Tip
would be put to death about dawn to-day.
The elephant's demeauor yesterday was
still threatening, and he refused food and
acted as if he were ill. At 6 o’clock this
morning, by prearrangement and invita
tion, about twenty-five persous gathered
to see him executed.
Tip’s executioner, it was all pre
arranged, was to have been his keeper,
young Sn.yder, for whom Tip, it has been
said, had conceived a mortal hatred.
There is no doubt that this was cordially
reciprocated by Snyder, and he was wall
ing enough to remove Tip, but it was
eventually sagely concluded that Tip
might sagaciously suspect him of being a
Borgia, and at the eleventh hour one Otto
Mottis, a former keeper of the park and a
sort of an all around elephant mau, was
chosen to do <the deed.
, CURIOUS TO SEE THE SCENE.
At 6:58 o’clock all was declared in read
iness. The scene was impressive. With
out the elephant house, grouped on the
walks of the park, even at that early
hour, was a considerable crowd, who
waited and listened with much the same
intensity that people listen outside a
prison wall for a sound, or look for a
sign that a murderer's soul has left his
body. Inside the scene was positively un
catmy. It was a gray light, and the little
gathering stared solemnly at the fated
Tip, whose ponderous bulk swaved from
side to side.
Tip was shackled merely with one chain
around his fore leg. fie was caged, but
the bars were not to all appearances ele
phant-proof, and as for the building, there
is small doubt that a mad adult bull
elephant could carry out a side of it in a
rush. An added menace was in the pres
ence of the other eleohants in the same
bouse.
The deadly dose was given to Tip just
before 7 o'clock. It was two ounces of
cyanide of potassium, placed in a carrot.
Mottis took the carrot and amid a silence
that was absolute tossed it to the poor
brute. Tip readily picked it up and swal
lowed it. The effect was not immediately
apparent, and other doses were given
him. At 7:30 he retched and seemed in
agony, still did not die, and about 9:30
it was deemed best to have him shot.
PERMISSION TO SHOOT REFUSED.
Four men with Winchesters came iD
and a pole with a piece of chalk on the
end was to be used to mark the spot.
Just then President Haines, of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, interfered and forbade the
shooting. He went down to tho society’s
office, he said, to get advice, and poor Tip
was left with the curious watching his
sufferings. Another consideration bear
ing on the proposed shooting was the
declaration by Inspector Leavey, of the
park department, that when Emperor
was shot some years ago the other ele
phants were thrown into a panic, and
that a dangerous stampede was narrowly
averted.
Tip’s systems were an interesting
study. He began to quiet down, and the
doctors said that the drug was having a
sedative effect. Then Tip backed up into
the angle made by the iron bars and the
side wall of his cage, ana stood there with
his haunches resting against the wall.
This, according to Dr. Allen, was an ef
fect of the cyanide of potassium, which,
acting on the spinal cord, produces, first,
a partial paralysis of the hind quarters.
Three more attempts were made to in
duce Tip to take the poison. Two more
apples and a half loaf of bread, all
charged with the drug, were taken from
Mottis by the elephant, squeezed with his
trunk and tossed aside.
William Wallace, of the Museum of
Natural History, tried to induce Tip to
eat a potato and an apple, neither of
which contained poison, after the loaded
carrot had been administered. Tip re
fused, however, to eat the perfectly
sound fruit. Then the park board left
the park, and went down town, where
they held a meeting to decide what was
the next thing to be done, and Park Com
missioner Xappen informed Mayor Gilroy
of the failure to kill Tip.
The noon hour arrived and passed and
Tip was not only alive, but seemed to be
himself again. Notwithstanding his rejec
tion of some of the various poisoned mor
sels given him, it was estimated that he
must have retaiued in his system about
an ounce and a half of the cyanide of po
tassium.
At noon about 2,000 people crowded
about the elephant house. Tom and Juno,
Tip’s smaller companions, were chained
outside and behind the house, and Tip
was feeding freely on grass, which tho
medicos thought might be acting as an
antidote. A Dr. Wright, of West Eighty
first street, who had come as an expert,
brought a gun. He acted so peculiarly
that he was made to go away
GIVEN A MIXTURE OF BRAN.
Asa last resource bran was decided
upon, and balls of wet bran were made up
in each one of which was placed a cap
sule containing about five or six grains of
the cyanide. They were placed in the
ordinary pail in which food had been
given him before. At seven and a half
minutes before 4 o’clock he put his trunk
in the pail, and taking up a ball of bran,
blew it down his throat. Several others
followed and then he stopped. Some
thing seemed to affect him. He moved to
the front of the cage and rubbed his side
against the bars, then he trumpeted once
or twice, and at tho end of four minutes
seemed to go into convulsions, his body
swelled, and in his efforts to strain ana
stretch he burst the chain that went
around his body—the chain to which his
martingale was attached and extending
up his breast and to the tusks.
He next seemed frantic, reared up, and
pawed with his fore feet against the out
wall of his cage. Getting down on the
floor again he walked toward the door
until reaching the limit of the heavy
chain which secured his foreleg to two of
the front bars he stumbled anil fell. He
did not go down with a crash, however,
but went over on his side, front first,
stiffened out and died in just twelve min
utes from the time he took the first ball
of wet bran.
Dr. W. Wallace will have ten men at
work for two days in dissecting and pre
paring Tip's skeleton. It will stand near
J umbo’s in the Museum of Natural His
tory,
Keeper Mottis gave this brief biography
of the condemned elephant: “Tip was
captured wild in the jungles, near Ceylon,
India, in 1876, and was purchased by Vic
tor Emanuel. The animal was afterward
kept in the Zoological Gardens in Toulon.
France, for three years, and during his
stay there he killed a keeper.
‘•He was afterward sold to Carl Hagen
beek. the German animal trainer and
was brought to Hamburg from Toulon in
an iron box, accompanied by Motlis. who
then first made his acquaintance old
Adam Forepaugh imported Tip to this
country in 1881. and he arrived here on
March 18 of that year. The brute was
always vicious, and during his time in
this country he has added seven other
victims to bis death roll."
UNDER A SAILOR'S BAN.
A Spell Put Upon the Whaler ly n
Indian Who Had Been Abandoned
On an Island.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Twenty-five years ago one of the
stanchest whailingirafts that sailed from
New London, Conn., was the schooner
Franklin. She was new and able. She
made several successful voyages to the
Antarctic and then a siilor pout a hoouoo
on her that resulted in her being tied up
at a wharf, and there she remained until
a few nights ago. when she wasdestroved
by fire.
The story of The Franklin is one of the
most interesting yarns that the out whale
men relate. In 1871 the Franklin was in
charge of a mau named Holmes. Whi'e
cruising around the Antarctic ocean for
seals he one day lauded a boat's crew on
an island for the purpose of killing what
seals they could while the schooner kept
on prospecting for rcokcries. The captain
told the men that he would r- .urn in
about ten days, and provisions sufficient
to last the men that length of time were
given them. The vessel didn't come back
and the men concluded that she was lost
Two hundred and fifty miles distant was
a locality known as Potter's Cove, where
the whailing bark Nile had headquarters.
With the idea of reaching that point in
time to take passage on the Nile, the men
took the cart asses of several seals and in
a small boat started. They arrived at
Potter’s Cove the day after the Nile left
From an old try works that had been
left there they made a shelter for them
selves, living on the oil of seals and sea ele
phants until the nexttspring, when they'
concluded to go to Cape Sheriff and kill
all the seals they couid find before the
vessels began to arrive. They got jammed
in the ice and were obliged to return.
Three of the crew refused to make an
other attempt to cross the strait and
were left behind. The three remaining
passed through terrible hardships. Fi
nally two of them died, and, according to
the stor.y of the survivor, a Montauk In
dian named Garby. he ate the fiesh of his
companions. He was found nearly dead.
He was finally brought back to New Eon
don on the schooner /. p. Simmons.
Garby learned that the Franklin had re
turned all right, The iaptain told him
that he didn't return for the men on ac
count of head winds that made it impossi
ble. The Indian sued the owners of the
vessel, with the idea of recovering dam
ages, but the case yvent agatnst him.
This infuriated the man, and he ran
down to the wharf where the Franklin
was moored, and, standing in the midst
of the deck, called down a curse on tho
craft The man was arrested and locked
up. He yvas called crazy. This charge
yvas not sustained, and Garby was set
free. He suddenly disappeared, and has
not been seen since. It takes but little to
arouse a sailor’s superstition, and when
the story of Garby’s strange action ran
along the water front there yvas an
ominous shaking of sailor heads. Con
siderable trouble was experienced in get
ting a crew for the Franklin, but one yvas
finally secured through the medium of a
shipping office, and the craft started for
the sealing grounds. Everything ran
along smoothly until the vessel
was in the vicinity of Cooper Island,
in the South Atlantic ocean. One night
a sailor on watch ran into the forecasts
and aroused his mates. The man was
laboring under great excitement, and told
the men that while pacing the deck he
had seeu six skeletons grinning at him
from the bow of the vessel. The men
ridiculed tho sailor’s fears, bnt ho re
fused to return to the deck. The mate
was told the story and ho ordered the
sailor back to his watch. The man under
a threat of punishment if he refused to
do duty, went on deck again. He had
been alone but a short lime yvhen he rushed
into the forecastle again with the same
story. This time the man yvas hysteri
cal, and within an hour yvas a raving
maniac. He was secured, but beforemorn
ing managed to get free, and, running on
deck, jumped overboard and was drowned.
Tyvo days later the men in the fore
castle went tc, the mate with the story
that they had seen the night before six
skulls in the forecastle hatch. They
wanted him to land them on Cooper
Island. They had already bad enough of
the Franklin. The captain refused to do
as the men requested. The following
morning the second mate told the captain
that about midnight he had seen six skel
etons in the rigging and that they shiftod
about from one part of the ship to an
other. The captain reprimanded the man
warmly. A few hours later the second
mate, at the head of the men in the
forecastle, demanded to be set ashore
on Cooper island. The captain re
fused, and the men, by force, took
possession of the vessel. They landed
on the island, and, telling the captain to
ship another crew if he could, lott. The
first mate was loyal to the captain, and
they managed to pick up twelve men on
the island who were willing to face the
spooks of the Franklin. No trouble was
experienced with the new crew for tyvo
weeks, and the captain congratulated him
self upon having got rid of the drunken
crowd that he had shipped at New Lon
don so easily. Oneovening a sudden storm
came up and two men were sent aloft to
furl the main topsail. They had hardly
begun their work when they both came
sliding down the throat halyards and fled
to the cook's galley.
The mate, surprised at the course of
the men. asked ihe reason of their strange
action. They told him that while they
stood on the crosstrees at work a skele
ton slid down the topmast and stood be
tween them. That was as far as they
had investigated. They got to the deck
by the quickest route, and they intimated
that if the topsail was furled some other
members of tho crew must do it. Two
other men were sent up, but they had
not gone more than half way up the
shrouds when they came back,
saying that they had seen three skel
etons on the rrosstrees. Once more the

AT THE WORLD’S FAIR O
men of the Franklin were demor
alized and at Gape Sheriff she yvas aban
doned by the crew The captain and tho
mate had seen nothing of the flcshless
shapes reported by the sailors, and they
stuck to tho vessel. The captain decided
to return home just as soon as he could
ship a sailing force, as it would be impos
sible to find there a reliable yvorking
crew. He managed to find half a dozen
men who wanted to get home that were
willing to leave the other vessels, and
with this crew he turned the nose of the
vessel north. Good weather and fair
winds tiro ugh t the vessel rapidly along
until she reached the vicinity of the Falk
land Islands.
One night, about midnight, a sudden
wind arose and all hands were called on
deck. to shorten sail. The wind rose to a
hurricane and kicked up a heavy sea.
The captain stood at the wheel and the
men were scattered about the decks
doing their best to keep themselves from
being bloyvn overboard, suddenly one of
the men cried out in a terrified
voice for tho others to look over tho
windward quarter. All eyi s wore turned
in that direction and a phantom boat
containing six fiesh less bodies was seen
hovering on the crest of a wave, headed
for the vessel. The captain watched
the strange craft until it passed out of
sight across the bow of the Franklin.
Tho occurrence yvas too much lor the
nerves of the sailors, and when the storm
abated they insisted upon embarking in a
small boat and starting for the Falkland
Islands. The captain trua to persuade
them to remain aboard, and agreed to
take the schooner into port, but the men
were terror-stricken, and, with the ex
ception of one man, who refused to go,
took one of tho boats and left the vessel.
With but tyvo men at. his command tho
captain kept the F’ranklin on her course.
He had never been able to explain ihe
phantom boat. Its appearance had proved
to him that the fear which had scattered
his crews was not altogether unfounded.
He was a man of good nerve, but lie yvas
considerably shaken one night yvliilo he
stood at the wheel to see a skeleton sud
denly appear on the opposite side of it and
grasp the spokes with ils bony fingers.
The captain stood his ground until he got
the Franklin safely back into New Imn
don harbor. Then he left her. Many at
tempts yverc made to get a crew lor the
vessel, but without success. Finally she
yvas tied up and gradually fell into decay.
The fire tnat consumed her was of un
known origin, but the sailors say it yvas
the result of the curse of Garby.
WORKS FIFTEEN MINUTES DAILY
A Curious Indus:ry Pursued in ' a
Sixth Avenue Night iiostaurant.
Fiom the New York Sun.
A short young man with small twink
ling eyes and a generally restless manner,
walked into a well-known Sixth avenue
restaurant at about 2 o’clock the other
morning, and approaching a table at
which two pale-faced young women sat,
sank down into a chair beside them and
started into conversation. The young
women evidently knew him. asdid almost
everyone elso in the restaurant, for he was
saluted from all sides as “Mockey.”
“Just watch that young man,’’ sai l the
cashier to a Sun reporter. “He’s tho
brother of a police captain of this city
He never works save for about fifteen
minutes each night, and in that short
space of time be makes enough to last
hirn for the next day.”
“But how does he do it?” inquired the
reporter.
“Oh, you just watch him,” returned
tho cashier, “and you’ll see something
you probably never saw before.”
The reporter watched, and presently
saw the young man take off his hat, re
move the lining, which was of stiff card
board, and take two small packages
wrapped in tinfoil underneath. These he
nanded to the two girls with whom he
had been talking and one of them handed
him back a bill and some silver. Rocket
ing the money and placing the lining
buck in his hat, he made a few jolly re
marks to the girls, then got upand walked
away.
From table to table he went, and at
each one he sat down and went through
the same performace. The little tinloil
packages were evidently in great demand.
Most of them were about a cubic inch in
size, although some were larger. These
latter were evidently special orders, for
the young man gut nd of them ail in
about five minutes. After making a tour
of the room, he walked up to the cashier s
desk, purchased a box of cigarettes, lit
one, giving a sigh of relief as he inhaled
the smoke, and then walked out.
“Now,” said the cashier, as the young
man disappeared, “I’ll bet a thousand to
one that you cannot guess what was in
those packages.”
'ihe reporter allowed that it was too
much for him, and the cashier continued;
“Why, it was opium. That rnau is
making a handsome living selling ‘dope’
to the unfortunate women who are so
numerous around this precinct. He
doesn’t dare accost them on the street,
as almost every policemen knows him and
his business. Ho is an opium fiend him
self, and has a regulur trade. I don’t
know where he gets the’dope.’but he
gets it somehow and sells it to the girls
who come in hero to get a bite before go
ing home. Ho carries it in the lining of
his hat, as you probably noticed,
and sells twenty or thirty boxes a night.
It comes high, but these unfortunates
would die without it, and. as it is not
easy to procure nowadays, since all of the
joints ha .c been closed, they have to get
it from him. They don’t all smokeb.v any
means. Some of them eat it in the shape
of pills, but most of them have their
private layouts in their homes, and enjoy
it the same way a laboring man enjoys his
pipe. 1 his man ’Mockey’ will gut caught
selling the stuff some day and that’ll finish
him. It’s anew industry, and so far as I
know ’Mockey’ has all of the trade at
present. The girls wait for him here
every night ur.d replenish tbi ir stock of
•dope.’ He’s a great card, that fellow,
and it s a wonder to me that some fly de
tective has not collared him before this.”
