At 3 o'clock this afternoon Vn. Hunt- B
InKtun and Allen, the otllclal cxcu- ,i'B
tlonera of Tip, the vicious elephant In .-jfl
Central Park, announced that the huge H
jiachjdcrm was evidently succumbing VK
to the poison administered to biro early ,3w
In the day. it
Tip hud refused to eat a carrot loaded
with poison thin morning, but -, he Xi
crunched the vegetable bolus vrlth fels
huge Jans and then spat It out. It was
suld at the time that some of tbe poison
had gone down Into his stomach, but tor
a time he showed no effects.
Then suddenly he began to weaken In ,!
his hind quarters and Dr. Allen an- '
nounced that parnlysls was one of ibe -vr
sjmptoms of the poison.
Supt. Smith, of the Menagerie, caused
a line to be druun about the elephant-' ip
house, and not even the reporter wbo 45
were present nere admitted to the build- "
lng. A
It 'a as said by the doctors that (he j
paralysis appeared to be extending, and "
that the huge trunk was affected. Tip
could not move It except very little,
when it seemed as If he had been trying: y.
to do so J
Dr. Allen said the dose given to the '
elephant in the morning would ultimately J
end Ida life, and that the end was not i
far off. "He will die In about an hour," &
was the doctor's prediction, made about y
3 o'clock. .'
A report gained currency that some 4
apples vere prepared with poison and V
given to the elephant secretly at about U,
2 o'clock, the Inferred Intention being f
that thoe In charge did not want Mr. 1,
HankliiKon, of the Cruelty to Animals :p
Society to know about It. VT
Although those who made this state- j"
ment lnilnted on Its accuracy. It wo i3
denied emphatically by Supt. Burns and
the others In charge. $
At 6 o'clock this nornlng Drs. Hunt-
It gton and Allen, carrying leather bags,
cntired ihe elephant-house. Their jjt
knowledge of toxlcolog caused them to
be singled out by the Park Commls- V-.
5loner to superintend th admlnlstra- Jt
tljn of the dtadly drug which was to
nuke of Tip a good elephant. They i
had a little package off cyanide o
ponsslum, six ounces In all, sufficient t '?
kill a regiment of men.
A crowd of fully one hundred people i
had gathered around the building. Half ,S
of them were newspaper men, who had
been detailed to witness the execution. 'S
Park Commissioners Clausen, Straus f
nnd Hell arrived shortly after, and the
quintet weit Into the elephant-house and
shut the door t'glit. At C30 o'clock tho ,V
e'eors were openeel, nnd those who had 1
pntses were allowed to enter. J
Commissioners Bell nnd Straus took
charge of things, and soon had a rope j
stretched acro.ss the wide asphalt pave- a
ment In front of Tip's cage. I
lUt TI11 Su.iilclons? 7
All this time Tip stood behind his Iron- 'W
barred barrier and swung his trunk t,
luck nnd forth His little eyes twin- f
kled and hud a knowing look. T
Keeper Snvder looked In nnd grinned. t jj
"Why. he's dead onto this scheme." was j.
his only comment. ... . .. i
Snder refuseel point-blank to be the ft
one to give Tip the poison, so Otto f-
Mopls, an old animal trainer, who had e,
charge of Tip way back In 1831. waa ap- h
pointed executioner. i
It was CW o'clock when Assistant 1
Supt Hums handed Dr. Horace Allen, !
eurutor of the Museum of Natural Ills- 4
tory, u big carrot which he had scooped ,'
out ond titled with a plug made from
mint her carrot .H
Dr Allen took from his bag a package
of the poison and poured two ounces of '
the white poweler Into the hollowed-out
carrot. The (Jug was neatly Inserted '
nnd the deadly bolus was handed to
Mopls,
lie Takes the Cnrrot,
Mopls stepped up to the bars and
heed the nrrot out to Tip with a word 5
of romnmnd. Tho great flexible trunk, 1
w ,h Its prehensile linger, stretched out
and grasped the carrot gingerly.
Hvery one held his breath The men ,
ct science had still that the stuff would
hnrdly reach Tip's stomnch before he ;
would roll over dead, .... f
Slowly and deliberately Tip curled his
trunk under and lifted the carrot to Ida
capacious maw. An Instant Inter It had '
disappeared and the spectators waited
to see the live tons of flesh fall with a '
thud and stiffen In the agonies of death. d
But Tip didn't fall north a cent, lie ",
gave tbe carrot a crunch between his . m
