A Fai.sk Rc-hor. Siuec Saturday Third street has
teen considerably excited over a rumor that the
Pennsylvania Kallroad Company had obtained the
ontrol In the management of the Heading Kallroad
Company. Humor had it that the former company
bad forwarded an agent to Kurope with the express
fmrposo of buying up the stock, which Isthecontrol
ing interest owned by foreigners in the latter com
pany, and that he had telegraphed that he had been
nccessful in his mission. We called upon the
fflcers of the Heading this morning, and they em
phatically deny the report. They themselves had
been Informed of the rumor, and had, In response to
ft telegram received from their agent in London,
knade a positive denial of the truth of the state
went. .
Singular Railway Accident. Last erening, as
ft Seventeenth and Nlnet enth Streets Passenger
jkailway car was crossing the switch at Nineteenth
aad Arch streets, the passengers were considerably
alarmed by seeing the floor on the passage way
ripped np by a piece of rail. Fortunately no one
was Injured, though the piece of Irou passed In very
lose proximity to the feet of a lady. The rail which
reated so much excitement was a short piece, and
die spikes in it had been rendered useless by con
stant wear. As the front wneels crossed the upper
fart of It, the weight of the cur caused the other end
to fly op, and before the vehicle could be stopped
onsiderable damage was Inflicted to the flooring.

Horrible Cnne of Hydrophobia.
Rvt-htxU'r (Minn.) Oor. Milwaxikee Sentinel.
On lust Thursday a man known here by the
miRio of John Callahan, but whose right name is
believed to be John McKUigatt, showed signs of
that terrible disease Known to the medical
faculty as hydrophobia. For several days pre
vious ho had shown symptoms of the disease,
and had been watched closely. He has hud seve
ral terrible raving tits or spasms, the first of
wkli h lasted some four hours, and, though a
small-sized man, It required four men to hold
him while they lasted, so violent were they. He
has several times begged hisjnttendunts to put an
cud to his siiiicrhigs by taking his life. He has
such a horror of the occurrence of the raving
lits (hat lie tries to bite nil who approach him
Doctors Mayo, Croe, Galloway, and Allen hare
visited the unfortunate man," nnd all njjrce in
pronouncing it hydrophobia, and, of course, in
curable. The disease Is traced to a bite the vic
tim received at Owatonna, a town forty miles
west of Rochester, on the Winona and Bt. l'etcr
Railroad, about a year ago, from a dog that was
owned by the proprietor of a fast nag known as
the Hello of Owntoiina. The ni..n was bitten on
the heel, but the wound was slight and soon
healed over, and the nfluir was thoug&t no more
of till a few days auo, when signs of hydro
phobia appeared. There are eonllicting stories
afloat concerning the condition of the dog in
qustion nt the time the man was bitten. One
story is that the animal was rabid and was soon
after killed, and another that the canine that
caused the mischief Is still alive at Owatonna.
Dr. Mayo informs me that the matter is being
investigated by the physicians of this city; so the
truth of tho whole" affair will bo developed.
Callahan is a young man of Irish extraction,
a painter by trade, is unmarried, and has resided
In this city a pear or nioro. He is said to have a
bister living in Bt. Paul. Ho is about twenty
five years of age. At last accounts the patient
was yet alive, but In a weak and exhausted con
dition, and likely die In the next spasm. The
young man Is stopping with a family named
Lesucur, who reside lu tho southern, part of the
city.

THE FILIBUSTERS
frslorloua Fodlnc cf the Rxprdltlan t Aid
Cubn-The "Kaw Kremlin" Ilaffaed
Untdlnrr'a Inlnxl Their (Surrender.
From the If. Y. Sun of to-day.
Marshal Parlow despatched Depnty-Marshals
Oreig, Christy, and Wlnslow in the revenue
cutter Mahoning to Gardiner's Island, to capture
the remnant of the Cuban fillbuRtrln expedi
tion existing there. Captain Webster, com
manding the Mahoning, the deputy-marshals,
and a dozen marines, were received o landing
by several of tho leading Cubans. Colonel
Ryan nnd Lieutenant Crevler woro not to bo
found. Captain Webster proposed a surrendor,
and offered to guarantee an exemption from
Imprisonment. Ten accepted his terms. The
rest refused. News of this was sent to Marshal
Harlow, and he forwardod twenty-four more
marines, who arrived at the island on Friday
morning, under command of Lieutenant Brceeo.
. The unarmed Cubans, on seeing this acces
sion of strength, concluded to surrender, but
not as captives, nnd, to the number of one b-an.
drcd and twenty-four, were taken on Saturday
evening to Fort Lafayette, Hera Vney were
temporarily confined In fi?o different casemates,
but on complaining of tho hcftt were admitted
Into the open courtyard. The men aro well edu
cated and well bred. They assert that they might
easily have overpowered tho few marines had
they so desired, and certainly would not have sur
rendered had they suspected n imprisonment.
Captain Harrison, formerly of Company D, 1st
New York Volunteers, is regarded by "the pri
soners as their present leader. It is asserted
tlint lu sending the men to Kort Lafayette, Bar
low neglected to provide them with rations, and
mat me sparse supply ot the small garrison nt
Fort Hamilton opposite has barclv buillecd to
sustain life among them.
1 bo Mahoning reached Geltson s Landing,
' ort Hamilton, shortly after 5 o'clock Saturday
uficrnoon. Without any unnecessary delay, the
captives were embarked on board small boats,
and taken into the Rastile. They did not forget,
nciorc nicy were taken lrom the Mahoning, to
thank in the most cordial terms the gallant
Captain Webster and his subordinates for their
uuilorm kindness and courteous deportment.
IN THE BA8TII.E.
As the frnil boats, with their canro of human
freight, sped over tho waters of the Lower bay,
the unfortunate captives stared with apprehen
sion at the dismal, dingy pile which was to be
their prison, nnd perhaps their tomb. As each
stroke of the oar brought them nearer to their
priEon-house, they saw more and more distinctly
tue lorms ot tne armed soldiery, tho Iron
barrcd loop-holes of the filthy dungeons, nnd,
above all, the wiry figure of the generalissimo
in command. One by one they climbed the rot
ten, dilapidated steps, and at length found them
selves face to face with the outer walls of the
dungeon.
"my god! what a tlace!"
exclalmed-onc of the number as he caught a
glimpse of fallen walls, the ruins, the bricks,
nnd mortar which were strewn in every dircc
tion, the burned timber nnd the dirty cells
within. Despair was pictured upon every man's
countenance as he looked upon the dismal den.
They had surrendered on condition that tlicv
should be liberated as soon as they reached New
York. An ollicer of the United States had
pledged them a safe conduct. How had that
promise been kept ? "Forward! march!" was
given, and the prisoners, single flic, began their
tramp to tue grave.
DKIVEN IN AT THE POTNT OF THE BAYONET.
The nncotith soldiery of the United States
drove the prisoners nt the point of tho bayonet
into dungeons which even rats had long ago for
saken. Without r'-gard t rank, they were
packed like sardines into the five small cells to
the left of the entrunce, an average of thirty
men to a ecu. And sucn cells :
ANDERSON VIIXK IN THE HADE.
The noisome cells of Fort Lafayette defy all
description. Ana now those poor souls who tor
hours were packed in such a hell can be ex
pectcd to come out alive, is more than your re
porter can imagine. The General in command
Is a young stripling, about twenty years of age,
a year from West Point, and the first time that
he has had duty of any importance to perform.
That the commanding ollicer should have as
signed so delicate and responsible a task to one
so young could very well be accounted for in
the fact that no other older ollicer would take
the place. An older officer would never have
drenmed of holding human beings in such a
Ehice for a second. But Generalissimo Second
icutenant Allyn Capron thought he would
spread himself just once, and accordingly had
these poor fellows locked up until
THE ARRIVAL OP OENERAL VO0DE9,
who made his appearance towards dusk, and
ordered their immediate liberation from the
dungeons. When they stepped out from these
swine pens they rushed into the open air like so
many madmen, and, as the weather was intol
erable, they made a rush for the cistern for water
to quench their thirst, and such water! Lieutenant-colonel
Discroll's dog Dixie, who can do
almost anything that his master tells him to do,
refused point blank to approach within a foot of
it. And yet the prisoners drank two and three
mugfuls before their thirst could be satisfied.
Towards nightfall, supper, cousisting of coffee
and bread, was sent over from Fort Hamilton.
Three hours afterwards, the only noise that was
heard was the measured step of the solitary sen
tinel ns he paced his post. The captives slept
upon the hard flags of the court-yard, with, no
other shelter than the starry heavens above
them.
BUNDAT MORNING.
At sunrise yesterday morning their breakfast,
which again consisted of bread and coffee, wa i
served. After they had concluded that beggarly
meal, they were ordered to fall Into liue and
answer roll calL That terrible man, the Gene
ralissimo, after the call had been concluded,
announced that one man was misslug, and, in
order to ascertain who that lucky dog was, he
would forthwith lock every man of them up.
Tho guard was formed, and the culprits were
marched to their dungeons, 04 being thrust into
one dungeon, 38 into another dungeon, and tho
rest into a little cell. The Generalissimo then,
with a drawn eabre in oue hand, a cocked Colt's
six-shooter in the other, and a spy-glns6 visible
from the southeast comer of his southwestern
coat tail pocket, ran to the parapets, and began
to level his instrument in every direction. At
length the Generalissimo descended, and began
to trump around tho ruins of tho Fort. Thou,
hearing tl.e prisoners clamoring for water, he
ran to tl e door of their dungeons (standing at a
respectable distancc,hoevcr), aud told the sen
tinel to thoot tho first man that dared raise a
mutiny. Utterly exhausted, the great man now
gently squatted beneath tho shade of a huge
beam on the pier, nnd awaited the coming out
of the prisoner. Then tho missing man watt
found necr to have been missing. The Gene
ralissimo shortly after this began to overilow
with the n ilk of human kindness, und ailmiuls
tercd a will-directed kick to one of tho French
eompnny. His threats to shoot were without
number. The terrible man frightened every
botlv. The rctt of the day wus spent iu trying
to sleep.
THE I'KISONEltS YESTERDAY AFTF.HNOON.
Our reporter, In company with Colonels Dris
coll and Mavnadier, visited the fort yesterday
afternoon, lie found tho men poorly clad, some
of them half naked, grouped iu tho yard roast
ing in the hot sun. The ollicers were not much
better off. Eight lay packed iu a dungeon. The
captives are of course indignant at tho breach of
good faith on the part of the Government of
ficials, nnd threuteu vengeance on somo of them
personally. The Generalissimo especially Is sure
not to be spared. Every one that has visited
the pen exclaimed on entering, "What! does
tho United States Government keep a human
being in this place ?" The prisoners are loud in
their praises of Colonels Drlscoll and Mayuadier,
who have been unremitting in their attentions
to them. Mr. William C. Church, of Church's
Hotel, has also contributed much towards
making them comfortable.
CONCLUSION.
Tho ofllcers fit Fort Hamilton, excepting,
perhaps, tho Generalissimo, agreo in condemn
ing this action of the United States Government
In rending the prisoners to such a dungeon as
Fort Lafayette. They say that It U not place
fit to keep swine in. They are of opinion that
If thepe nif n are to be restrained of their liberty
they ctuld JuU as well be confined In Fort
Wadsworth, opposite Fort Hamilton, whero the
ncccmmnrlatioiis are all that could be desired.
Colonel Drlscoll was a prl oner in Libby Prl-in,
and Colonel Maynndlcr shared the same fate, nt
Charleston. They unhesitatingly assert that,
so far as the quarters are concerned, thoso at
Fort Lafayette are more disgraceful, If anything,
than those of the prisons above mentioned. It
Is the meanest, vilest, filthiest place we ever
saw, not even excepting that loathsome holo,
Ludlow etrcct Jail.
AN ELEniANT TRAINER.
A Journallnt him R Talk with Ulrj-Polltlej
Kucliewed How nn Illuiitrlou Pachyderm
Carries On.
A Detroit paper has the followlngt
" 'Baby Annie,' exhibited on Friday and Sa
turday in this city, is an popular and well known
ns the majority of human actors who tread the
boards Instead ot the sawdust ring. Like them,
she endeavors to please, and in her way feels
chagrin as deeply when she fails to receive tho
approbation believed to be merited. She is now
live years old, and though far from her 'teens,'
Is nevertheless a pretty good lumo of a body,
weighing eighteen hundred pounds. Her history
hns been carefully kept, and McLaughlin, her
trainer, can tell you everything about her.
"At the tune ot her capture she was only two
yenrs old; but Smith, the captor, assisted by a
party ot Africans and dogs, found her as hard
to control in her infancy as most women aro at
mature age. After a few weeks training she
was started for the coast, eight hundred miles
away, nnd Kenyon has yet in his cages two
large hyenas that rode in baskets slung over
Miss Annie s back, llcr cost In IMew York was
eight thousand dollars, aud at the time of her
purchase she was the smallest elephant In this
country, nnd is etui tho omy genuine African
elephant. Though she has never been hard
pushed to test her endurance on the road, she
once took a stretch ot forty-two miles over the
rocky roads of Pennsylvania in eleven hours,
and showed not the least sign of exhaustion.
"Miss Annie is a model female one of tho old
school, and would as soon twist her head off
with her trunk as to harm a hnman being who
treated her courteously. Last winter, Tu her
quarters at Philadelphia, she exhibited love and
hate in a very singular manner. McLaughlin
had imbibed rather freely, and, returning to tho
barn, got into a difficulty with a policeman, who
was bent on arresting him. The cop had been
around the barn a good deal, and was
somewhat acquainted with the elephant.
The trainer lied to the barn, and getting behind
'Baby,' refused to submit to arrest. The M. P.
boldly advanced to bring him out, when the
elephant thrust him aside with her trunk. This
was repeated several times, the trainer encou
raging her, when the policeman gave her an angry
blow vt ith his baton, and sought to push by.
Blowirg ier shrill trumpet, 'Baby' caught him
around the wa'st.nnd giving hl;n a strong whirl,
deposited the frightened blue coat in a barrel of
oats thirty feet away. As he had no instruc
tions to arrest elephant, and could not arrest
the man without her, he eencluded not to pross
matters further.
"At another time last summer, during a hot
night, McLi ug'alin 8 it down beside 'Baby' on a
bale of hay, and soon fell asleep. Near him
was the cage of the Bengal tiger, a fierce and
ungovernable animal, and treacherous to the
last degree. By lying down tho beast could get
his paws at full length under the bars, and on
the morning of that very day he had thus
given his unsuspecting keeper a stroke with
his claws and tore open the man's check in
a horrible manner. Restless, McLaughlin
rolled about, and the eves of the Royal
glistened as ho saw the body coming
nearer to his cruel claws. At length, just as one
of the keepers entered the door, the trainer
rolled down so near that the tiger reached out
and eaught his clothes. With a savage snarl, he
was straightening back for a pull, to get the
flesh under his nuils, when the elephant, who
had also been sleeping, rose up at the growl;
and seeing the situation at a glance, rushed for
ward before the man at the end had scarcely
advanced a step, and with a blow of her trunk
made the tiger let go his hold and scream with
pain and firry.
"Since her capture she has increased seven
hundred pounds in weight, and six inches in
height. Thrco years ago' she had not a sign of a
tusk; now, she has ivories six inches long, and
growing finely. In the summer, when the wea
ther is dry, she gets a bath at every creek, and
her trainer gives her a dozen pails of water over
the lack if standing long in the tent. About
twice a year she gets six gallons of linseed oil
rubbed over her skin; without it, the hide would
get so dry as to feel and sound like a board. Her
usual feed per day is a bushel of oats and one hun
dred and fifty peunds of hay, and she drinks, if
moderately thirsty, twenty pails of water at a
time. As stated, she is very docile, minding
readily if she understands what Is wanted. Doing
wrong, through ignorance, let her trainer 'bless
her eyes' a little, and 'Baby' shows as much
sorrow as a repentant infant. As this is her
third season, the person must be sharp who can
impose upon her a worthless gift. About four
weeks ago a man gave her a stick of candy
which had been soaked for somo time in tobacco
juice. Becming not to mind the joke, 'Baby'
waited a little, and when the joker had almost
forgotten the incident, she took up a huge piece
of liver lying near the cage of lions, and sent
the mass full against the fellow's breast, knock
ing him down, and altogether spoiling the bosom
of his white shirt, and his ideas of superior
smartness."
