New York reports a wealthy capitalist Thomas F. Ryan offered $100000 to endow the First Presbyterian church at Fifth Avenue and Eleventh Street, a proposal declined by the church board.

A circus elephant in New Albany killed a horse after rough handling by handlers, briefly shocking showmen as horses and elephants were readied for travel.
