The circus train was wrecked by colliding with a yard engine at Tlfton Saturday morn ing.

Several of the animal cars were smashed. Among the animal cars wrecked was that of Gypsy," who was intensely nervous after the accident. Her keeper, James O'Rourke, trledt to quiet her. Elephant Kills Her Keeper. The great beast was thoroughly frightened and nervous.

Six -miles out from Valdosta she became so restless and. noisy that O'Rourke entered her car for the purpose of attempting to quiet her. The elephant attacked him and before he could escape she had gathered him in her trunk and lashed him against the floor of the car. The first toss killed the man, but the infuriated beaut trampled the body until it was a mass of broken bones and bruised flesh. O'Rourke had not time to close the door of the car after he entered, and when the train slowed up at a crossing near Valdosta the way was open for Gypsy to make her way to liberty.

She took advantage of it-Animal Flees to Woods. A hasty hunt was organized. Gypsy had taken ct the wnniHn a rniru.

replied to his critics in the ranks of union labor in an address at a private meeting of the Colonial club of this city. President Bitot does not attack the union. He cays It has come to stay, and It has done much to improve the let of tile workingman. But he cites some of the evils of labor uriions. He objects to the limitations to the number of apprentices, restriction of output, the uniform wage, the justification of violence during strikes, and the use of the boycott.

He incidentally combats the theory that the laborer has any right to his situation after he has left It on strike, and blames both the miners and the coal operators for the delay in adopting arbitration, notwithstanding the fact that the miners urged arbitration from the first, even before they went on strike. Praise for Labor Unions. President Eliot said that the work of the iabor unions must be counted among the efforts to make the lot of mankind! more satisfying and happier, and that their strength lay in their belief in this work as their mission. He then enumerated the conditions, which he designated as humane conditions of employment those to which laboring men may rightly aspire. First A rising wage, based on increased experience, attainments, and age.

Second Steady employment after adequate probation. Third The opportunity for the working man to establish a permanent home. Fourth conditions which enable him to give his employer generous service and to take pride in it. Fifth The right to a pension on disability which gives throughout life relief from one great anxiety, and that public consideration which goes with a steady job and a self-respecting though humble and unobserved career. i Not Kealized in America.

These five conditions of humane employment. President Eliot said, were realized today in Harvard university. Plainly, they were not realized in the great American industries employing unskilled labor, where the terms of service were often those of instant, dismissal." Another curious difficulty with American employment was that it was spasmodic Complaints from em In making bread," said Miss Johnson, I use flour and yeast, and let it raise over night.

Friends of Herr ferupp declare that the attack was prompted by socialists, who have long hated Herr JCrupp because his generous treatment of the men, women, and children he employed prevented the socialist agitation getting a foothold in Essen, the workers being satisfied with their lot. Not Expelled from Italy, Slg.

The prosecution of the paper will proceed not-withstanding: Her Krupp's death.

They summoned several the physicians, and it is regarded as being peyotvd belief that all of them should have connived at a concealment of the cause of death; which they ascribe to a stroke of apopleiy. induced, they add unofficially, by mental excitement from which Herr Krupp was suffering.

He was asthmatic, had a weeds: heart, and was subject to fainting spells. iHe fell to the ground unconscious while inj Genoa several years ago and again while atj dinner at a hotel here eighteen months ago.

From the outside could le heard the noise of the trunks thrashing ployes were often made the ground for dismissal. The present antagonism of employers and the unions was the fault of both parties, but, on the whole, the former were more to blame, because their situation was more comfortable and their education superior. The industrial community was under many obligations to unions for the evils they, haev mitigated, such as poor sanitary conditions in factories, an unreasonable number of hours of work, child labor, and the company store.

The oligarchy of capital had combined effectively, and the corresponding combination of laboring men was a wholesome check upon that oligarchy. There was no question that the labor union had come to stay. Some Evils in Union Labor. On the other hand, its cause was. injured by certain evils which were subversive of fundamental American, doctrines of liberty.

One of these evils was the limit placed on, the number of apprentices whereas, in the learned professions, every encouragement was given, to the training of novices. Other evils were the limitation, of output, which destroys the self-respect of the efficient workman, a-nd the uniform wage. about.

The struggle between the Upited Garment Workers" "union and the'organization of the Special Order Clothing Makers, instead of being settled by the action of the American Federation of Labor in revoking the charter of the latter union and ordering an amalgamation of the two bodies, apparently has made the condition worse than ever. The manufacturers have realized the danger for themselves in the situation, and, following the report of the action of the Federation of Labor at New Orleans, a meeting of the National Wholesale Tailors association was called at the Great Northern hotel yesterday morning. Employers "Adopt Resolutions. The matter was gone over- carefully, and in an effort to prevent trouble in the shops this morning the following- were was on spread rapidly, and soon a big crowd gathered about the station.

Herr Krupp leaves two daughters, who are at school, one, named; Barbara, aged 17, and the second, named Bertha, 15 years old. His Views on Labor.

Herr Krupp's favorite study was to think out schemes for improving the well being; of the lower classes, which he applied prae- tically to what are called labor colonies." He assented seemingly to most socialistic -principles, except that he held tight to the wage system, averring that the wag earners were not yet sufficiently developed or self-controlled to regulate for themselves a Just system of division of profits. It is mentioned as an odd chance that man who applied social reform ideas in so extensive a way should have been crushed by a social democratic newspaper, which, however, regarded his measures to amelio-" rate the condition of the laborers km not touching the question of -economic; injustice.

Denounces tbe Boycott. A fourth evil was the violence which was an inevitable feature of every strike in industries employing unskilled labor. The unskilled laborer on strike had no other weapon unless it were the boycott, which was a cruel, cowardly Interference with the rights of all the people. President Eliot declared that he saw grounds for hoping that the relations of capital and labor would be improved, in spite of their present unintelligent antagonism, partly by frank public discussion of abuses, partly by prearranged agreements for conciliation or arbitration, and partly by the service which labor unions would render to capital through their constant command of the labor re-ouries of which capital comes In need. The elephant charged up and down the alley and drove everybody to cover.

Fifty loaves of bread were thrown to the elephant, and after they had been consumed the animal's rage was appeased. It returned to the barn, and was chained. Beaten almost to unconsciousness by a burglar Mrs. August Schaefer had a narrow escape from burning to death in her flat at 228 Garfield avenue. The apartment was set on fire by the burglar, who in his attempt to Jump out of a window threw a lighted lamp on the floor.

Mrs. Schaefer was carried from the burning building by William Schuetz, who lives on the second Jioor. Schuetz, on entering the Schaefer flat, saw Mrs. Schaefer on the floor near the front door, and, according to the story, the whole room was in flar s. After being carried to the street me woman revived and told of the attack on her by the burglar.

Her story was listened to by a number of men, who at once started to search for the assail-ant, who was thought to be still hiding in the neighborhood. Several policemen of the North Halsted street station assisted in the search, but all trace- of the fugitive was lost after he had dropped from a telegraph pole which stands against" the house and by which he made his descent. The damage done to the fiat by the flames amounted to over $700, fully covered by insurance. It was shortly after 1 o'clock In the morning when Mrs. Schaefer, who was visiting the Schuetz family, heard a noise in her flat.

At first she thought her husband, who is a traveling salesman, had returned home, but, knowing the neighborhood had been visited by burglars, she concluded to an Investigation. Tiptoeing up the stairs, she saw the door of the kitchen open. She entered and in another room she saw a masked man, apparently 50 years old, examining bureau drawers which he had placed on the floor. Tries to Seize the Burglar.

The shots and chase caused much excitement in the neighborhood of the Jefferson Park Presbyterian church. The thieves escaped, but one, it is thought, was wounded. A message was sent to the different police stations to watch for a man suffering from a gunshot wound. The attempt to rob the house was discovered by Mr. Donoghue when be rose from the supper table and went into the front room of his house.

England, on Saturday, and probably will be brought back to Chicago for trial. Stone admitted to the Scotland Yards men that be had killed Nelson, but said he acted in self-defense.

Both men were employes of the hotel, and Stone obtained his position through Nelson, who was a cook. One evening the men quarreled in the kitchen and Nelson ran from the room. Stone following and shooting as- he ran. Three bullets took effect and Nelson dropped dead on the floor of the office. The frenzied Stone then fired another bullet Into the body, after which he ran back into the kitchen and disappeared.

The shooting caused much excitement in hotel and there was a scare among the guest. Police Begin Long Search. Inspector Shea, who then was at the head of the detective bureau, made vigorous- efforts to capture Stone, but Detective Frank McDonald worked for months on the case before any tangible clew developed. Stone came to Chicago from St. Louis and McDonald epont several weeks there on a quiet hunt for the slayer.

Chicago, too, was searched, but there were so many World's Fair visitors that if Stone remained here tie was able to keep In hiding. McDonald carried a photograph of the slayer in his pocket, and copies of tbe picture, together with descriptions of Stone, were sent broadcast throughout the country. Finally, in 1897, through an acquaintance In Galveston. McDonald heard that Stone had been in that city. McDonald at once went to Galveston, but just too late to arrest Stone, who fled the day before the detective arrived.

He was supposed to have gone to New Orleans and later to have sailed for Liverpool, but he was not found on any of the ships that reached the British port. Faur months ago McDonald received a letter eaying that a man resembling Stone was In a small suburb of London. A photograph of the slayer was sent to Scotland Yard, but again Stone disappeared and it was not till Saturday that he was found in a coffee shop In BlackwalL Another Crime Suggested.

I do not maintain that there is no injustice toward wage workers today. I believe that a great change must be made that wage earners may have better pay and more comforts and luxuries than they enjoy at present.

Necessity for Work a Blessing. Labor is not a curse, and few greater blessings than the necessity for steady work have been conferred on humanity1 by an all wise creator. I have been all my life a wage-worker, and I would prefer any day to associate with an honest day laborer than with an Idle parasite, eating, drinking, wearing, and spending that which he haa not earned."

A meeting of local unions 2 and 6 will be held in Phoenix hall, Division and Sedgwick streets, this evening, when plans for a strike will be considered and the leaders believe that a walkout will be ordered. Ellen Lind-strom, business agent for the two locals, which are entirely composed of women, made a canvass of the members and reported that the sentiment was strongly against going into the Garment Workers' union. We feel as if we had been unjustly treated and we do not propose to yield," said Miss Lindstrom.
