JOCICO , "IJIE2 MISSING LINK. "

BALTIMORE , December 31. The fa-
mons ouraug oubin Jocko , supposed bj
many to bo Dwariii'a missing link , wns
found lying dead in her cage by Frank
Edwards , hnr keeper , this morning , in
Horzog'a dimp museum , -whore she has
been onjoxhibition for seine weeks past.
Her death was a great shock to the man
agement , who were paying § 200 a week
to _ her ownora for the privilege of exhib
iting her , and will bo a much greater
shock to her ownoia , to whom she was a
perfect bonanza. She lias been suffering
from a severe cold contracted during her
late trip from Chicago , but did not scorn
in any danger. Dr. Alexander Hill , the
enterprising surgeon who sometime since
entered into negotiations with the
husband of the fat woman for his wife's
body took Jocko's remains and dissected
and embalmed them. Death was found
to have resulted from pneumonia , super
induced by congestion of the lungs ,
caused by the cold. As soon as it became
known that the famous animal was dead
an immense crowd flocked to the muse
um , and for a time riot Boomed imminent.
The crowd refused to leave the museum
until they saw the dead animal , and
fierce shouts of "hang out your dead
monkey , " caused Mr. Iloraog to hurry
around to Dr. Hill's olllco , and as soon as
the embalming was completed he put the
body in a wagon and rushed it around to
machine , whore itwas at once elevated
in a sitting posture upon its old cage ,
amid the plaudidts of the spectators.
Ever since crowds have continued to
ilock to BOO the deceased , The only
mourner sdoms to be its little dog com
panion , who has been with It since it was
blind , and wails piteously because its old
playmate will not notice it. Jocko 'will
remain on exhibition until Wednesday ,
when the body will bo taken to Now
York , where the skeleton goes to ono of
its medical colleges. Thia ourang ou-
tang was ono of the most intelligent of
its species. So much did she resemble
a human being that she got her name of
"tho missing link."kSho came from Bor
neo in 1881 , and was purchased at pub-
lie auction by Richie Brothers , animal
dealers of New York , for § 2,500. P T ,
Barnum bid § 12000. Charles Bradoiiburfj
secured her for her lifetime for § 200
monthly payment. It is said that she
was afterwards purchased by tlio Phila
delphia Dime Museum people f rom Kiohio
subject to Bradenburg's lease. If this
is so she belongs to Barnum , who haa a
controlling interest in the Philadelphia
Dime Museum. Her brain was not touch
ed here , but was left to be examined by
the Now York exports , and something
interesting will doubtless discovered
in the examination.

The Plaza del Huizachal , . wo said , was
packed with people. Tlio bulla were
bravo , and killed some horses aa ono wouldi

jublio bo send up a howl of delightwhich
ioundod in the distant solitude of the
fields liks the yelping of an immense pack
of wolves , or as if a thousand hounds
wore scouring the mountains and making
ho rocka resound with supernatural bark-
tig. Suddenly in the midst of the hub-
jub was hoard a atrango noiao , as if the
ground had sunk or the mountain toppled
over among yelping savages hoarse out
cries andan explosion of music with a
strength of 200 horao-powcr. Ono aide
of the vast cirttus had fallen down. Moro
than three hundred spectators were preci
pitated to the ground. Pieced boards
ind wojm-oaban beams were- showered
upon them. They formed a > i compact
nass of bodies-thai squirmed desperately ,
spmo on. their faces in the duat , others
