TERNITIIC SCENE AN TUE fiIEANEINE.
—Columbus, the eat:wakens elephant. belonging to'
the menagerie of iilessrs._ Haymow:l te. Waring;, was
the actor In an exciting scene yesterday, about 1
o:clock, which uhfortunately `resulted labia keeper
'Willian Kelly, being dreadfully injured.
The affair occurred while the keeper was clean
ing and preparing the animal for the afternoon ex
hibition, in the recess, in which he is kept, when
the chain, with which he Is usually fasteneeto a
stake in the gtound, beingloose, he walked towards
the ring. , Tlie keeper called him as hesslidentstop
when spoken to, used -his goad, and so irritated
the-animal that he'ttimed andmade two passes at
the unfortunate man, tossing him some distance.—
lie tell in front of a cage, containing a hyena and
wolf, and this, as well as a stove in front of it were
overturned by the enraged animal, while making a
third pass. The cage fell upon Kelly, fracturing
both of his, legs, the right one being so severely
crushed that amputation was subsequently found to
be necessary.
After the elephant retained towards the ring, but
was driven back to his recesshy the powerful dogs
belonging to the' establishment;'but this increased
the rage of the animal, and 67 vented it in breaking
up the cage before mentioned as having been over
turned, and the animals it contained wens set at lib
, ear. • lie then re-entered the ring, where he'caus
ed some damage to the railing. 8y dropping a
noose rope into the ring from the domed-the build
tin.% his forefeet became entangled in it, and thus
crippled, tllto keeper succeeded in driving him into
the small gangway, near the western door on Wal
nut street, where his power-lbr mischief was pre
vented, by fastening his tusks by a chain to his fore,
feet and the effectual use of his harpoon accomplish
ed his submission.
The celebrated Herr toriesbach , then took the
matterinhand, and at his command, the animal
proceeded to the ring and gave proof .of his good
humor being restored by the most implicit obedi
ence to all his aeuirements. Having thus proved
t hat he possessed the same power over the elephant
that he it's known to haveNin taming the other beasts
of the forest, Herr Driesbach mounted on the le
cumbent animal and delivered the following address
, to the gentlemen that had been gathered by this
strange scene -
Gentlelinen—Unaccustomed as I am to the pub
lic speaking I feel impelled. to say this is the proud
est day of my life. NagOon and other great men
have their, monuments irtfrone—l have a ine in a
conquered elephant Gehtlemen the animal is en
tirely subdued, and the performances at the mena
gerie will be continued as usual." + 3•
Of course this was followed by enthusiastic cheer.
ing,ani so ended this most *vetting scene ; among
the - Vegas of the menagerie.
The feer that the enraged animal would demol
ish the cage of the lions or tiers, Ind .previously
induced the proprietors to have the means at hand
for his destruction, in case t i their efforts to over.
power him should not succeM. A cannon was
therefore procured, charged with canister, and sta..
tinned in front of the building, on Walnut st., to be
ready for an emergency, but fortunately his kin**.
sioti rendeind such a resource unneceseary,'and
thilvaluable animal took his customarYpart in the
per ormances last evening.
aflair fortunately occured at a time 'when a
very few persons were in the building, Had it
been o ldelayed but a short time, it would have occa
sioned a dreadful scene of alarm, as a large num-.

were about entering the building at the moment

He is a right - down clever fellow, but he is always
short in the finances, otherwise he would take the

give hint one; we are always happy to do so; we
have the heart to think of his paying anything
