8 l)t Stmts -"Nod Bloomftdii; !)a. A Battle tot ween an Elephant an4 ft Ehlno ceros. A Terrible Flfrht. The Indianapolis Herald relates the fol lowing : "Last week, m the mammoth fleet of steamers employed to transport old John Robinson's great world exposition ap proached the landing at Wyandotte, sit uated on the banks of the Ohio river, in Western Virginia, an unusual commotion was observed on board the flagship Erie, No. 0. Men, women and children were wildly running to and fro frantically shout ing to the other steamers, while at the same time there arose a series of shrieks, screeches, yells and howls, as if all the in mates of pandemonium were being let v loose. " The good people on shore were unable to make out the meaning and strange be havior of those on the steamers, but sur mising that everything was not right among the animals in the menagerie they very quickly concluded that the open levee was no place for them', should any of the ferocious monsters make their way to land and quickly fled to their homes. In the meantime Commodore John F. Robin son hoisted signals of distress, which were quickly responded to by the steamer Cham pion, Captain G. N. Robinson, and also the steamer Argrosy, Captain James Robinson, who ranged alongside the ,rie, and wore informed that an awful battle was raging between the huge double horned rhinoceros and the monster war elephant, Old Empe ror. The ladies and children were quickly transferred to the steamers Champion and Argosy, and then the entire crews of the ,tbree steameis armed themselves and went below to endeavor to separate the combat ants. " As they reached that portiou of the main deck just off the boilers, a horribly sickening sight met their view. Wounded, bleeding and horribly lacerated men were lying where they had been stricken down by the terrible brutes ; dead, wounded and dying horses and ponies strewed the deck in every direction ; cages, destroyed and literally mashed into fragments were scat tered among the dead, wounded, dying, and the terrible din, shrieks,' grunts and ' groans plainly told them that the battle ' was still fiercely raging. A. total destruc ' tion of almost every cage on the boat seemed imminent. All efforts proved una vailing to separate the savago denizens of the forest. At this juncture a loud crash was beard and the two cages containing the monster sea lions and the Labrador seals were driven overboard. "The veteran showman was as cool and collected as it was possible for a man to be under these circumstances, when bis prop ertyVas going to destruction every mo ment by thousands of dollars. Not so, how ever, with Manager John F. Robinson, Jr., for when he saw his favorites, sea lions and seals, being dashed overboard without mercy be said : ' Boys I can't stand this any longer, and we might as well try to kill one of these brutes before they ruin every cage on tho boat.' Ho then gave orders to firo upon them, and a heavy volley was discharged, which had no more effect on the now thoroughly aroused and fright ened monsters than to cause them to fight with more fury than before. The situa tion was getting each moment more dan gerous for all on board, and the proprietors were in despair of all hope, wlfen it oc curred to Manager John P. Robinson to open the steam pipeB and deluge them with steam. ' "The engineer quickly turned on the steam, and as it suddenly escaped from the boilers with a terriilo roar, a shrill trumpeting screech was board from the elephant, such as tlicy always utter in ory ing for mercy whon conquered in their native wilds. Whether the animal had received its death Wow from tho rhinocer os or was frightened into submission by the steam, could not be ascertained until it cleaned away, which it did in a few mo ments, disclosing to the astonished gaze of the showmen a curious and at the same time gratifying siht. There lay tho huge elephant upon the deck, cowering trembling down, uttering moans of pain and fright, while a little beyond was the rhinoceros nugly ensconced in his cage, quaking and shivering with fear, where be had retreated tire instant the steam was upon him. The atteudants sprang quickly forward and closed the door of his cage, thus securing themselves from further molestation from him. " Five horses were found killed, as also were three ponies, and four more were so badly maimed and wounded, that they were killed in mercy, to end their suffer ing." . . i Fool Cot off by a Mowing Machine From a private source we learn that an old man named McGougb, a farmer resid ing near Oerry station, had bis right foot cut off at a point near the ankle, whilst en gaged in driving two horsea attached to a mowing machine. Getting up off his seat he stepped forward to strike the horses with a whip, and as be attempted to step hack once again his foot came in contact with the mowing kiiife and was completely out off. The unfortunate old man was immediately conveyed to bis borne, which wae close at hand, and medical aid sum jnoned Altoona Tribune. New Advertlnementa.
