The Cases Against Wakefield, Martin and Carroll. Another Phase of the Exciting Opera-House Muddle. Wakefield Weakens, and Offers Concessions to His Opponent. Probebility that ‘‘Billy’’ Carroll and ‘*Cap- tain’’ Martin will Take a Trip to Leadville. The suits urising ont of the capture of the Opera-house by Wakeficid and its clever re- capture by Mr. J. A. Robertson, the attorney of Mr. John W. Norton, came up to-day in the Court of Criminal Coerrection. will be remembered that Mr. Robertson bad all the parties concerned in tak- ing possession of Dw Bar's arrested. They were A, B. Wakefield, George W. Anderson, William, otherwise ‘ii ly’’ Carroll, Geo. D., otherwise ‘*Captain’’ Martin, and Trefaggad Theodore Martin, his sons. It uppears that Wakefield was not oniy com- pletely outwitted on afl points, but that he has gotten into an awkward dilemma through his ill-advised assault upon the Opera-house. He and his assistants were all charged with ‘*foreible entry and possession,’’ a by no means light offense. The topmost dog always barks loudest, and Wake- field and his efficient aide-de-camp, the rotund ‘*Billy,’’ were on a pinnecle of glory after the brilliant coup de theutre which placed De bar's ip their bands. Lut every dog has his day, andthe wheel of fortune turned round. Mr. Robertson kept his own counsel, laid his plans, and, whep the }. » time came, curried them out. There 1s nota hitch in the whole performanee. As prearranged, Mr. Robertson and his co- horts otf deputy marshals swooped down upon the tell cupturers, and in afew moments the citadel was captured and the defenders arresé- ea by the strong arm ot the law. Wakefield and his motley regimernt were terribly crest-fallen. At first they affected to believe that the charge against them would not be pressed. But it appears that Mr. Robertson is 4 man who doesn’t understand fooling. He was ‘erribly in earnest. Always suave and couriceo.as, he concealed the iron hand beneath the velvet glove. He had his enemy by the hip, and be meant to retain his grip. Wakefield saw that the game was up, and that he was in a bad fix. He cau- tiowsly opened negotiations with Mr. Robertson, He threw out ‘‘teelers.’’ First of all Wakcdield wanted time. His wife was terribly sick. Could not the case be continued? Robertson, however, was in no yielding mood. **Have the c.se against me in the Courtof Criminal Correction dismissed andI will promice nos to attempt to gain possession of the Opeva-hou_e by force but let the law scv..le a'l disputes,’’ atlast said Wakefield. Robertson hesitated. He knew his willy op- ponent. He couidn't hold him tegally tosucha promise. He retused to consent. Bat be agreed to a continuance of the case until the 14tu of October, holding this suit in terrorem over Wakefield as a check against any furtner dexterous manipulations on his part. Accord- ingly, when the cuse was called in the Court of the Three (’s, this morning, it was continued until the above date. A proposition was also madeto Mr. Roberia son in regard to the chief aiders Jand abcttors, ‘‘Captuin’’ Martin and ‘‘Billy’’ Carroll. Is j that would nolle the against them p’n’’ would shike Louis from their teet. They would seek the pneumonia-giving clime of Leadville. Mr. Robertson considered tbe matter. but refused to give a definite an- swer. Meanwhite Mrs. Martin, like Mra, Wukefield, was taken sick. Now, it is well known that if there is a wenk spot in Mr. Rovertson’'s nature itis bis sympathy forthe softer sex. Theideathat he was adding anguish to the pangs of sickness was too much fer him. Gent- ly he yielded, aud to-day also agreed toa continuance of the cases against George D. Martin and the Rt. Rev. Wiililam Carroll until October 14. Thus ‘‘Billy’’ and the ‘*‘Cap’n’’ will dally a little longerin the Future Great and postpone their contemplated trip to the salubrious city of Leadville. The remuining offenders against the low were George W. Anderson, Truman and Theo- dore Martin. These were evyident'y regarded as ‘‘smwaill fry"" an! their cases were dismisced this morning with Mr. Robertson's consent. The othertbree cases thus go over until Oc- tober. It therefore seems assrvred that Mr. Norton will have no further trouble in boldtng the fort. If the claimants to the property want to get nossession they will have todoso by dae pro- cess ot law, and thus the exciting phase of the eontest ceases. the dust of : Prof. John Wise’s Proposed Trans.

It is learned trom an authentic source that Prof. John Wise, the veteran avronaut, is now constructing an immense palloon for the pur- pose of making meteorolog'val 0/1 servations this summer by a night sail through the c'ouds.

Mr. Kelley’s point, however, is that he would prefer to keep commercial relations with countries im- up that have no commerce, and that the portance of a market does not depend on the amount of goods sold there, but ‘en the Nearly nine-tenths of in Asia number of people. the inhabitants of the world and Africa, but, instead of their commer- cial value to us being measured by their numbers, the law seems to be that it is in Atany rate, we do more business with England, sell more of our wares to England and make more money out of our trade relations with England than out of all the thousand mil- lions of inert, useless, depraved and impov- erished races of Asia and Africa. The man who says that the trade with the naked savages of Africa or the semi-civilized sav- ages of South America is better worth con- sidering than the trade with England is simply an ass, and Mr. Keliey has willfully written himself down in that category. live inverse ratio. UNWELCOME VISITORS. It seems to be very hard work for the philanthropy of St. Louis to work off the small consignment of pauper darkies re- turned to us from Kansas as not wanted there. This first lot of fifty or sixty has been in St. Louis for nearly two weeks, with every prospect of forming a perma- nent though undesirable addition to our population. Hunger would not drive them away. They endured thirty hours of total privation from food with the heroic forti- tude of martyrs who were willing to die rather than work; and, now that sympathy has been excited in their behalf, it is not likely that they are going to bestir them- selves. Their ideal of human felicity is to have enough to eat, without working for it, and no change could better their coniition. It would involve the degrading alternative of working, from which they fied to join the exodus. We cannot severely blame the people of Kansas for their unwillingness to burden themselves with these very objectionable paupers. We presume the negroes who are now hanging on to the grudging charity of St. Louis are pretty fair samples of the race who were considered good enough to man- age the affairs of the South, and whose welfare is the paramount question of the country. Yetout of the whole fifty or sixty D the country or mention any vce, pea one with sufficient energy or hat justifies the outlay of money, he "will preat deal to relieve the (;cVernment ation of supperting a worthless aud. —— BISMARCK as a statesman is much in- ferior to Logan.

ONE of the unpleasant consequences of the unusually hot weather has been the development of symptoms of an outbreak of personal journalism in the columns of our esteemed morning contemporaries.

They have unani- mously accepted pauperism as a natural and rather agreeable mode of life, and if proper encouragement is held out to them, they will continue and keep themselves in a condition to excite the philanthropy which now feeds them. It would not be a bad idea for the authorities to make arrangements for ship- ping these helpless paupers back to their original homes, and taking strict precau- tions to prevent a recurrence of the perience. The city has paupers enough to support without being made an asylum for the destitution and helplessness of the South- ern negroes, and itis about time that the ordinance against the importation of pau- pers sheuld be enforced. At any rate it is very certain that the people of St. Louis, without respect to previous condition, have had enough of this exodus business.

One View of tne Grand Jury and Mr. Francis. (From the Philadelphia Times. } When a grand jury really gets on the ram- page there is no telling’ where it will break out. St. Louis has grand juries and grand juries, but it was not until last Friday that one of these bodies ever conceived the _ revolu- tionary idea of visiting the city quaran- tine hospital and investigating its man- ogement. Health ‘Commissioner Francis was naturally startled at the appearance of such a party, and quite as much displeased ne startied. Hemade no attempt to conceal his disapprobation of such conduct and remon- strated ugainst their making a landing. When he found gentle protest of no avail he attempt- ed to frighten the intruders off and prociaimea in the nearing of hundreds of people that he hed five well-defined cases of veliow fever there. But, the St. Louis grand juroris not to be intimidated, anda with one accord they resoived to brave tie pes- tilence, Commissioner Francis giving them a finul warning that they did it at thetrown peril. They nad hardly entered the bospi- tal before they found that Commissioner Frencis had beeniyingtothem. So far from their being weil defined cases of vellow fever, notevena symptom of yellow fever had veeu developed. The grand jury naturally felt that they had been trifled with, and without delay they proceeded to bring a pre- sentement against the lying Comnnissioner. They were kind enough to admit their belief that he wouldn't bave acted as he didif lhe hadn’t been drunk, but they failed to perceive the advantage of drunkenness in a quarantine superintendent, and recommended that he be removed. It is certainiy hard luck for Com- missioner Francis, but it is nota badidea to let the average office-holder know that the public which supports him has not lost all au- thority over its servant.

Striking Changes Made in the Con- struction of Dwellings. = | —_— An Increased Taste for the True and the Beautiful. Some Examples of the Latest Improve- ments in Domestic Architecture. Thirty years ago there was not in St. Louis who was entitled tothe d?stif€tion of be- ing called a professional architect. Those who constructed houses then were nothing~ but builders and contractors. They drew their own plans or sent to New York for them. The first architect who ever came to St. Louis was a gentleman from the East, who’ built the Church of the Messiah, now being converced into a theater by Mr. Charles Pope. There was but little taste or art disviayed in building here until a short time previous to the war, and no very great progress was made until the war was over. Since 1866 many splendid business houses have been erected according to plans. as good as those employed in Boston or New York. The architects of 8t. Louis have made confessedly much greater progress in commer- cial or business architecture than they bave in domestic or home architecture. It is entirely natural that this should bethecase. Utility in a young and rapidly growing community always takes precedence of artistic elegance. The latter comes only from the culture that wealth and prosperity bring. There has been A WONDERFUL ADVANCE inthe construction of residences in this city during the lastten years. Previous tothat time there had been a number of palatial resi- dences put up, but they were generally huge, barn-like arrangements that had many more attractions on the outside than conveni- ences onthe inside. But the dwellings of the very rich constitute a very small portion ofa city, and it is in the homes of the middle classes where there areto be found the best examples of the growth of a general taste for the beautiful and the artistic. There will be found the greatest ad- vances iu the construction and ornamentation of homes. Fifty thousand dol- lars will build a magnificent residence any- where andat any time, but it has been only recently that even a neatly appearing one could be built for $4,000. It may be surprising to state that a majority of what are denomin- ated fine residences in St. Louis are built Jat ranging irom $8,000 to $16,000. Since 1875 there have probably not been put up in St. Louis half a dozen residences that cost $30,000. Two ot these, Mrs. Maffit’s and Ger- ard B. Allen’s, have been built in the last twelve months. The best examples of home architecture, ac- cording to the latest and most tmproved ideas, to be scenin St. Louis, are some of the dwell- ings recently put up on Pine street, Olive street and Washington avenuc, near Grand avenue. Perhaps 34 cost THE FINEST EXAMPLE in the the city ofimproved domestic architec- ture isthe residence lately presented to Mr. Oliver Garrison by his brother, Commodore C. kK.Garrison- It stands on Pine street near Thirty fifth, and was built. by Mr. M. A. Rosen- blatt for himself from plans made out by Mr. A. Grable. Commodore Garvrison saw it when here on a visit last winter, and was so much pleased that he immediately made Mr. Rosen- blatt an offer he could not resist. It is not a large bouse, but is nade of the very best ma- terial throughout and shows in every detail the hand of the genuine artist. It is three stories high, Italianin style, and is constructed of Warrensburg sandstone. There is nothing very remarkable about the general appearance cf the exterior. It simply looks as though nothing could be added to make it complete. MORNING NEWS CONDENSED. FOREIGN. Five persons killed in France by a railway ac- cident near Nancy.

The Council met yesterday afternoon with all the members present and Mayor Joyce in the chair. An ordinance dividing the city intotwo dis- tricts was introduced. A numberof claims against the city were al- lowed, and some of the old policemen dis- cbaryed a few weeks ago reinstated. No other business of any importance was transacted. The meeting then adjonrnedj to meet next Thurscay evening. Jerome and Kate Mattice live on Sixth street and Illinois avenue. About 1 o'clock this morning they began quarreling, dumping the furniture on the street, howling and making night hideous in a bundred different ways. Officer Stack happened by at the time and es- corted the pair to the station-house. This morning they were each fined $3 and costs tor last night’s fun.

There are sowe dweliings just vrected by Mr. D. B. Gould on Chestnut near Beaumont, which have of SOME STRIKING NOVELTIES. They are intended to meet the requirements of people who do not wanta large house, but wbo want an elegant one. The fronts are made of Bedford limestone, whieh, after atime, be- comes almost as white marble. They are two stories high, with an attic, and are fin- ished with a “strong feeling ot the Eastlake style, which has become so popular in furni- ture frescoing and ail «inds of house ornamen- tation of late. The windews are double and the shutters made of black walnut with vellow pine panels polished and without paint. The gate stands in_ front of the parlor window, and not in front of the door, as usual. The walks are laid with square tiling, and the door sills made of white marble. The door jams are something entirely new, and are made of black walnut and yellow pine ingeniously put together. Allthe wood- work, such as base-boards, doorand window facings, is to be unpainted, butjpolished to the highest degree. The kinds of wood employed are yellow pine, black walnut and gum. The latter 1s here used for the first time for tinish- ing purposes, andis found to be very beauti- ful when well seasoned and polished. The gvain is exceedingly tine and the coloring quite attractive. Tove kitchen. pantry, bath-room and servants’ rooms are aliffinished with tne most scrupulous regard for taste and elegance. There are nine rooms in e€éach building, and all of convenient size, The dining-room is octagonal, andagemof its kind. The sewerage is ar- ranged so thatthere will be no danger from noxious gases. A most ingenious Plan of ven- tilation is employed, which carmes all disa- greeable odors off through an escape pipe that runs totheroof. It is expected that these resi- dences will rent for not over $60 a month, thus affording people “ol moderate incomes to have a home and residence constructed with the same artistic taste that is generally employed on houses that cost five times as much. They were built expressly to meet the demands ot an impreved taste for home archi- tecture. : 5 The residence of Mr. Wm. E. Bradford. No. 3501 Pine street, has been MUCH ADMIRED. It is built of Warrensburg sandstone and com- pressed brick, two stories high, with front and side entrance. The stories are ouite highaud the building presents quite an imposing ap- pearance. It 1s in the Italian style, with wide hall from tront door to the stairway which ascends from a side entrance hall. On the right side of tne main hall are the sitting-room and dining-room, and on the left side is a iong parlor, with two fire-places with mantels of white marble and Mexican onyx. The wood.- work is said to be the finestin St. Louis, it be- ing solid walnut, finished in bass-wood. Next to Mr. Bradford’s residence is that of Dr. Smith, also recently built. Itisin pure Egyp- tian-—-the only oe ot the kind in the city, It presents an exceedingly plain appearance from the street, but is rich and tasteful. It is a double house, with but one window on either side of the main entrance. The tront presents very much the appexrance of acolumn of the Temple of Luxor. The interior arrangements are severely plain, and are in full harmony with the exterior. One is pleased immediately by the evidences ot artistic warmth that ap- pear inevery bit of woodwork, every piece of turniture, all the painting and in every decora- tion. There is an agreenbieness about the com- bination of all these thatis dificult to describe, but that is easily felt. Both these pretty enough for any ordinary family, having about thirteen rooms each. But one would be surprised to know that they cost less than $20,- 000 each. Mr. Isaac Meyer has lately completed some residences on Washington avenue, nearGrand, that are models of architectural taste. . They are three stories high, built of sandstone, and are rented at $900 per annumeach.

A Synopsis of What is Being Done by the Missouri Agency. The Character of the Disbursements and their Total Amounts. A reporter for the Post-DISPATCH called on Maj. Rufus Campion, Pension Agent, this morning,in order to obtain information in which the public are _ interested but which they seldom have an op- portunity of obtaining unless they Jlook after it themyelves. The district over which Maj. Campion has jurisdiction is known as the Missouri District, and comprises the States of Missouri, Kansas and Colorado, and the Territory of New Mexico. It can be readily seen the district is a large one and it requires a little more than ordinary execntive ability to conduct the affairs of the office in a manner satisfactory tothe authorities at Washington and to the quarterly creditors who demand the punctual payment of their pensions when due. There are over twelve thousand persons from the States and Territory named who four times ayear sign and sweartothe truthfulness ofa voucher made in duplicate form in the above office before they receive their checks. To ac- complish this work a clerical force of experts isemployed whose day’s werk never consists of less than ten hours, and each hour they must be in possession of their wits, for the least erroroccurring would be the means of delaying payments and creating much disorcer in the department. A large portion of pensioners who receive benefits through this office are scattered throughout the Union from Maine to Florida, and the agent is dependent upon the regulari- ty ofthe mailsto prove that he is doing his duty. There is one invalid soldicr, Charles Rice, who resides at Westhoffen, Alsace, Germany, and is saliowed $96 per annum. He was formerly trom this city, where be en- listed in the regular army and served under Custer, but was discharged on account of being consumptive shortly before the massacre of tbat command. The highest military pension paid by the Government was that awarded to Gen. Shields, being $100 per month. By aspecial actor the recent extra session of Congress this pension was continued and will be paid in future to the widow of the deceased. The next highest paid is that of $72 per month, the number given this amount being about sev- en hundred. About ninety percent of the pensions paid in this district is on account of the !ate rebel- lion,the balance going to survivors of the Mex- ican war, the warof 1812, andthree widows whose husbands were engaged in the war of the Revolution. There are no pensions paid to invalid soldiers for services during that strug- zie, the last survivor, Duniel F. Bakeman, Raving died at Freedom, N. Y., April 5, 1859, at the age of 109. The total amount paid pensioners by this agency during the fiscul year ending June 30, 1878, was $1,506,728 83. The amount puid from that time to the corresponding period in 1879 was $1,635,091 98, an increase of $128,- 363 15. This does not include the payments of arrears, which are kept separate and ina different manner from the regular pension items. The amount of arrears disbursed is $356,168 24, which added to the regular pen- sions paid during the past year swells the to- tal to $1,991,260 22. At present the United States is second only to Great Britxinin amount of pensions paid, the latter ranking first on account of the nany gratuities awarded men in civil life for distin- guishbing themselves in science or art. The appropriations tor this department, however, are increasing yearly, and the worthy onject tu which they are applied satisfies the nation and reconciles it to its growing extravagance. - — —_ THE GREAT ELECTRIC LIGHT. The First Successful Illustration of Its Prac. tical Use in St. Louis. Many people who have read of the marvel- ous electric light still entertain doubts con- cerning its practical success. There are others again who have seen this light in successful operation, and all such are most enthusiastic in theirexpressions about it. The people ot St. Louis and vicinity will soon enjoy an op- portunity of seeing for themselves. The mons- ter tents of the monster London combined ex- hibitions are all lighted with the Brush dynamo- electric light. Last winter the proprietor of this mammoth show bought the exclusive right to use the electric light for traveling exhibi- tions, and since the spring nothing else has been used for illuminating purposes by them. The effect under the mammoth canvas is de- scribea as beautiful and brilliant in the ex- treme. The smallest print can be distinctly readin any part of the canvas. It is said to literally transform nightinto day. Placed un- der water it burns as brightly as above. In Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati and other large cities thousands of people who never attended a circus entertainment before visited the Great London Shows expressly to witness the effect of this marvel- ous scientifie discovery. The apparatus belonging to it cst Messrs. Cooper, Bailey & Co. $15,000, and was made to order forthe Great London Show. The cost of running the light aoes not exceed $10 per diem. Asan at- traction it far transcends anything tbat could be obtained, and in ail the large cities thus far visited by the Great London Show thousands ot — were turned away nightly, and the argest business ever done by a circus and me- nagerie was done by this unrivaled combina- tion. Much of the success was due to the elec- tric light, which delighted and amazed young and old alike. The Great London Circus will commence a five-day session on Lucas Lot, corner Twelith and Locust streets, commencing Tuesday after- noon, August 12. The electric light will illu minate the canves during the afternoons, as well as in the evenings, tor the benefit of ladies and children. The grand mardi-gras torch- light parade takes place Monday night, Au- gust lj. ae —_ Jim and Gus. Jimanda Gus Howard, both colored, became involved in a dispute on the boat John A.Scud- der, xbout eight o’clock this morning, which resulted in a tussle. Gus seized a stick of wood and dealt Jim a blow on the head which knock- ed the latter senseless. Officers Cutler and Landers arrested Gus and sent Jim tothe Dis- pensary,where Dr.Carson examined the wound and sent him to the City Hospital. a At 9:30 o’clock this marning a young man with his clothes badly torn dashed down the Levee near the foot of Chestnut street with a crowd of about one hundred persons at his heels. ‘‘Coast Guard’’ Landers headed him off and brought him into the Chestnut street station. It was afterwards ascertained that the young man’s name was Thowas Carroll. He went to Stone’s clothing erst Hr 504 North His Hor- _ see ble Pets. The Old Man Encircled By Reptiles—The Old Woman Master of the Situation. Men and Women Attacked by Serpents and Other Untamed Yarmints. {From the Whitehall (N. Y.) Times. ] Last summer an article appeared in the Times describing the burning of the log cabin of the rattlesnake man, Rube Davis, opposite Hu- lett’s Landing. Our readers will remember the graphic picture that we then penned of the exodus of the reptiles from the cabin when the seetning fangs of the consuming element came inhandto hand contest with the venomous tangs of scores of serpents. We gave a picture of the departure of ‘‘Old Rube’’ and his wife to Harbor Island. The old man was SURROUNDED BY HIS VENOMOUS PETS, who coddlea about bim and the old woman, as the weird-looking couple pulled on two old short clay pipes and paddled away to a new destination. Another visit to Lake George has brought us fuce to face with ‘*Old Rube.’’ We were in- troduced to the rattlesnuke man, and as we took bis horny hand we felt as if each finger was indeed a serpent’s head. Butthe old fel- low is a curiosity in himself. He is short and thick, five teet four inches high and weighs, we should judge, about 160 pounds. He has a pale blue eye, a dark swar- thy skin, and is JUST SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL AS ONE CAN IMAGINE A TAMER OF HORRIBLE REPTILES. He was told thatthe writer was the one who wrote him up last year. He said. **Gol darn yer, but them ‘ere snakes fit like an old tar heel, didn’tthey? Then some crit- ter sent ma a pictur of me and the old ’oman shovin’ offin a boat. Haw! haw! haw! But you did it sanakey, didn’t yer? Have a chaw?’’ hending us a piece of plug tobacco. We declined, but told him we had a great de- sire to see him and his queer pects. 6 called his wife, and such A QUEER SPECIMEN OF HUMANITY we never beheld. Sheisa women about 60 years old; goes barefooted; is short and fat, with tangled hair and greeneyes. She is not a prepossessing creature by any means, and, as she turned and squirted a dark saliva from her thick, dirty lips, we quickly ascertained that she ‘‘chaw- ed’’ tobacco. She wore a dirty calico dress, and the array ot linen (?) upon the clothes-line near by showed that she did not particularly care whether her wash had been well done so long as it hud been done at all. Wetold Old Rubetbat we desired to see his pets, and he invited us to walk around behind the shantv. As we foilowed bim, Rube showed us several boxes with glass covers over them. We looked into one and gave asudden start, tor we BEUELD AT LEAST A SCORE OF HEADS with long tongues looking at us. We could hear the whirr and rattle of the horrid reptiles’ castanets, and could seethat rage shot forth from their glistening eyes, at the way whicn strangers gazed attbem. Old Rube laughed a sort of a grunt at our fright. and then piacea his mouth near a hole in the glass and begana sort of a queer whistling or alto singing. The noise was pe- culiar, and the snakes quickly dropped their beads, pulled in their long, venomous tongues, while the rattle of their tails ceased entirely. Quick as thought ‘*Old Rube’’ pushed back the wlass cover. Asne did so we and our com- panion jumped back borror-stricken, when ‘*Old Rube’’ said: ‘*Don’t be so gol durned ’fraid, nothin’ won’t hurt yer.’’ He then put his hand into the box and drew forth a green and white-looking rattlesnake about five teet long, who was shaking eleven raities. He beldthe horrid looking creature by the head, allowing the ‘‘varmint’’ to wrap his length about his leg. He then reachedinto the box and brought forth another reptile. This creature he took in his left hand, all the time keeping up the queer noise. The reptile coiled itself about ‘‘Old Rube’s’’ waist. HE CONTINUED TO PULL OUT SNAKES, allowing the horrid creatures to wrap thelr green and white folds about his body. He piaced them about his waist, about his shoul- ders, about his legs, and finally the horrible creatures wound themselves about his arms. He then called the old woman, and the weird- looking bag opened another box and drew forth wore reptiles, which she pluced about Rube’s neck. It wasa borrible and disgusting sight, and we felt like fleeing from the scene, buta mordid curiosity took possession of us and we feltasif we were spell-bound. There stood that old man.chanting his wild, discordant notes, while his form was enveloped in a living coil of deadly reptiles. His whole form was covered with serpents from his neck to his feet. His head and face were the only portions ot his form visible, as the old woman wound the last serpent round his neck. W beh the task was finished the old woman said: ‘*Now Iook out, fellers, and the will give a concert.’’ She then clapped her hands three times, WHEN A HUNDRED RATTIESNAKES shot forth their repulsive heads and tails about ‘*Old Rube.’’ The weird incantation of the old man was nearly drowned by the awfully realistic and unearthly rattle of a hundred snakes. We moved back with horror,and would have struck forthe lake had not the old woman said: ‘*Don’t be a fool; the snakes ’haint got no fangs, and they can’t bite.’’ But we had seen enough. We dropped some change and started for the boat, followed by the old woman, who remarked to us: ‘*‘I’m goin’ to let ‘Rube’ sweat a minute or two. He can’t get away until I take off the snakes, and as he bas gota bottle of whisky hid from me in the woods, not a dard hogtes does he stir, until he promises to go snooks with me.’’ As we shoved off we heard ‘‘Old Rube’s’’ voice calling: ‘*‘Mother, hain’t you goin’ to take off the snakes?’’ and the old woman answered back; ‘*Yes, Rube, when yer tells me whar the whisky is.’’ ‘anamiles’ Serpents and Other Untamed Animals. [From the Quitman Free Press] J.D. Wade, of Quitman county, Ga,, a few davs ago found in the hammock between his place and Bill Bryan’s, a snake skin that measured nine feet in length, the heal being ug large +s a man’s hand. Mr. Wade does not tiiuk it was the skin of a rattesnake, as there wos no sign of any rattles. He says that the monster must have been six inches through in the center. Soon after finding the skin he met his wagon. which was hauling rails, and tound his little boy dragging six immense moccasin snakes which the boy and the driver had kill- ed. They said that a pond in the hammock was alive with the reptiles. The whole party beat a basty retreat, nor havethey visited Bryan’s hammock since. [From the Vineennes (Ind.) Sun.] About three weeks ago Jere Gaultney, a farmer, living in the vicinity of Sandborn, Md., was Walking along the road when he espied a large, rusty-looking water moccasin lying in his path. He attacked the reptile with a club, when two or three other snakes of the same species joined inthe fight. They did not suc- ceed in biting Gauitney, but covered him with their poisonous saliva. He went home. Short- ly atterward he tell sick, He lay in misery till a day or two ago, when death came to his re- lief. So bad an effect had the poisonous slime of the reptiles that the flesh of Gaultney sloughed from his bones. [From the San Augustine (Tex.) Saxon.) Recently ola man Windham and his son were fisbingin the Patroo, San Augustine county, Texas. The old man,in order to keep cool, bad bis feet and legs under the water, when a large beaver attacked him, The vicious ani- mal seized him by the leg, and inflicted a se- vere wound. The fight continued, and very soon map and beaver were both in the creek, The old man, seeing that the beaver was likely to win the fight, called to his son, who ran to his father’s resene and killed the beaver. It is thought that the beaver would have killed Mr. Winacham had assistance not been rendered. {From the Newnan (Ga,) Herald. } A little child of Mr. Ed. Daniels, of Newnan, Ga., while playing with a rattlesnake of the large kind, which bad crawled into the yard, took it up in its hands, when the snake gave the child a severe bite on the hand. Mr. D. lost no time in administering plenty of peach brandy, which doubtless saved the child’s life. On the 7th inst. a little daughter of H. Q. Wilkinson was bitten by a rattlesnake on the ankle. The child became deiirious, and would cry and scream that snakes were crawling over her body. Its lite was saved. [From the Claiborne (La. ) Guardian. ] Mr. Thomas Greer, of Claiborne, La., re- cently killed a snake, the prevailing color of whicb was brown, but on the skin were num- erous white spots. The end of the tail, tor about eight inches, was of & bony orborny sud- stance that could not be cut with an ordinary knite, and was sharply pointed. The fan were six inches long, and it had an orifice in the throat ander the lower jaw. The snake was about ten feet long, the skin, without bead or horn on the end of the tail, measuring exactly eight feet and three inches.

A MOUNTAIN OF FAT. Charles Johnson, Weighing Four Hundred Pounds, Stricken With Apoplexy—An En- ormous Body Measuring Six Feet Around the Waist— Building a Coffin for the Corpse —The Giant’s Habits. [From the Washineton Post.) There is one greatness of the mind and another greatness ot the body. Charlies John- son, a colored mano, who died yesterday at his house, No. 906 Third street, was noticeable 1or the jatter’‘to a phenomenal degree. Not tnat be was different in the mental qualifica- tions, but his physical part was the more prom- inent by a large majority,and form, the motive ofthis sketch. Born aslave on the estate of Charles Carroll, of Carroll county, Md., in 1869, Johnson was in early life of large, but not « phemonenal, proportions. He was hberated some year or two beforethe war,and moved into the Dis- trict befoie that event. By that time he had zrewnvery stont,and weighed in the neirgh- borhood of 3U0 pounds. unfitting him asit did for farm work, was the principal reason for his emancipation. Witn- out a trade and with a large family of children and grandchildren depending on bim, Johnson hada bard battle to keep the wolf from the door. He settied on a vacant lot on the corner of Third and K streets, now oceupied by a brick grocery, and built himself a small frame shan- ty, where he set up a cobbling bench, and by bis almost courtly politeness, added to the fame of his bulk, soon began to earn a liveli- hood, and has raised his large family in com- arative comfort. His immense bulk bas made iim an object of curiosity to manyin the city, while his eatire uprightness of conduct has caused him to be as widely respected. In point of size he has had two rivals, but neither of them are now liviug here. ‘*Doc’’ Gudgeon, a white man, who was bornin the same neigh- borhood with Johnson, weighed at the time ot bis death, five years since, about four bundred pounds. Onone occasion a foot race was ar- ranged between the two. Gudgeon,although the most active in moving about, was being badly beaten, when his opponent tripped and fell, giving aneasy victory to the other. Uncle Charley’s other rival was Capt. Gordon, who formeriy kept a feed storein the city, but now in the Black Hills. In family history there was notbing remarkable about Johnson, except that he had two sisters and one daughter, who nearly approached his own bulk. One ot the former stiil }i ves in Carroll county, and is the mcther of a large family of children, all of av- erage size. The tat daughter lives, butis un- married at forty-six. ‘‘Aunt Eliza,’’ the -helpmate of Uncle Charley,is a little wonan weighing about seventy-five pounds, and ap- peared to teel deep grief at the death of her decidedly better-half. Both have been regular attendants at St. Aloysius Catho- lic Church, and the dead giant confessed and was absolved by Father Jenkins as late as Saturday-week. The church people have been in the habit of presenting their bulky brother with anew suit of clothes at each Christmas, made of such substantial material that they sufficed forthe whole year. Thecloth used in these clothes was sufficient for three ordinary men. The tailor had to repeat the stale joke of asking his customer to bold the tape while he went around, for the girth of Uncle Char- ley was a serious mattertorthe man to at- tempt to encirele, he being over six feet around the waist. His shoulders measured three feet two inches across, and his hips the same. When a young man he was said to have stood over six feet, but at death was but five feetsix inches. Inthe manner of his taking off there was a simpleness and gentleness well compoiting with his characterin life. He had been fora walk inthe park, afew blocks dis- taunt, and returned about seven o’clock in the morning. Sitting down, he, reached for his work, but at the same moment was noticed to full buck in his chair, murmuring as he did so, ‘‘I think I'll rest.’’ His death caused a painful excitement in the neighborhood andthe house was crowded with people anxious to take a lust glance at bis tace. His weight at death was slightly under tour hundred pounds, and therefore the arrangements for the funeral, which are inthe hands of Nelson & Dabney,are matters of considerable difficulty. No ordinary casket will contain the huge bulk, and a coffin is now being built of such proportions and strength as will insurea safe interment. It be over three feet across and two six inches in height. The cylinder to be tuken out of an ordinary large ice casket, and even then there is not suflicient room for ice enough to serve without constant renewal. The funeral will tuke place at 11 o’clock on Sunday morning, and the interment at Mount Olivet Cemetery, where a aerave of extra size will have to ve made. Itis probable that the side of the frame house in which the body lies will have to be torn out to allow ofits removal. John-on wus very fond of gin, of which he would @rink all he could obtain; but claimed to be a tewper- ance an and despised beer or whisky. — => — WHERE TWO LOST CHILDREN WERE. They Are Discovered, Uninjared, in a Hole Fifty Feet Deep. {from the Pottsville (Penn.) Miners’ Journal. } On Thursday morning John Henry, aged 13, and his sister Alice, aged 9, left their mother’s house, near Turkey Run, for the purpose of picking berries. The children were familiar with the mountain paths tor milesaround their bome, and consequently, when they did not return for dinner, their mother was not at all frightened. Whenthe afternoon passed, how- out the appearance of the youngsters, Mrs. Henry became worried, and started out to look for them. After wandering around until dark without finding the children, Mrs. Ilenry became greatly frightened, and when her husband, whois a miner, returned from work, she insisted on his calling on the neigh- bors to assistin searching for the lostones, A number of neighbors were notified, and, as the news spread rapidiv, a party of eleven persons soon started out in search of the children, Messengers were at once dispatched to Gilber- ton, Shenandoah and Mahanoy City, to see if the children had strayed to either of those places. In the meantime the search was car- ried on industriously in the hills that surround the home of the little ones, but up to midnight noclue to their whereabouts was dis- covered. About this time the messengers re- turned from the surrounding villages and re- ported that they could find no traces of the children. The search was carried on diligent- ly, bowever, and between 1 and 2 o’clock one of the hunters named Peter H. Mullen heard a faint cry for help issue from a tincketon a hill just above the village ot Gilberton, and on running inthat direction came uponan old sink hole, at the vottom of which he heaad the children, who, in answer to his inquiries, said they were unhurt, but could not getout. Pe- ter’s shouts soon brought reintorcements to the spot, and among them came Mrs. Henry, the distracted mother, who had spent the en- tire night in the hills looking for her little ones. Her joy on learning that they had been found and were uninjured proved more than her mind could bear and she fainted. As the pit in which the ehildren were is about fifty teet deep and has perpendicular sides,the children could not be got out witbout a rope;so oneof the party was dispatched to Gilberton, and in about haif an hour be returned with the desired article. The rope was fastened around Mr. Henry’s waist, and withalanternin his hand he was lowered into the black depths of the pit. The boy was first § hoisted up and then Mr. Henry and the littie girl. The children state thatthey were picking berrics when the bank on which they were standing crumbled beneath their feet, and they were carried tothe bottom. Stranye to gay, beyond a few bruises and scratches, the little ones were unhurt. The boy says the accident occurred about 9 or 10 o’clock, anu consequently they were confined in the pit nearlv sixteen hours. Fortunately,tne sink-hote the children fell into did not, like the majority of such places, con- tain water, or they would in all probability have been drowned. -— -_ Jerseyville Jottings.

Tumbling Headlong from the Top of the Lofty Palisades. Falling 250 Feet and Breaking but One Bone— Tragic Ending of a Tea Party. [From the New York Sun. ] David M. Anderson, a young man employ- ed in a hardware store at 35 Cliff street in this city, lay in the residence of Mr. George S. Coe, in Englewood, N.J.. yesterday after- noon, suffering fram numerous wounds re- ceived in a tumble over the Palisades,and it is considered almost miraculous that he escaped with his life. Last Friday evening several of the young people of Englewood weré invited to attend an open sir tea party at ti resi- dence of Mr. Coe, the President of the American Exchange National Bank of this city, who has a beautiful home at Englewood. His grounds ex.end back to the Palisades. and included in them is a narrow defile lined by perpendicular wails of rock and known as **ihe®gorge.’’ The gentlemen. in the party were Mr. Coe’s son and his nephews, George 8S. and James H. Coe, William Stan- ley, Mr. Shaw and Mr. Anderson. Several of the young gentlemen drove up from the vil- lage and tied their horses to trees on the brink of the Palisades. The heads of the horses were turned from the river. All the horses were very close to the edge of the gorge, and that of Mr. Stanlev was so close that the rear wheels of his carriage were only a few feet from the brink. When the party sat down to refreshments at about 10 o’clock, one of the young ladies ob- served that there were thirteen present, and that because of the superstition of ill-luck at- tached to that number they must be careful. This remark led toa repetition of the super- stitious legends and traditions that are hinged upon the number thirteen. The conversation had followedin that direction for some time when it was observed that Mr. Stanley’s horse Was very restless. Several ofthe young men started to attend to the horse, but }@st as they reached the point where he was picketed the animal broke loose and becked over the preci- pice. The young men s.epped UPON THE VERGE and looked over to see how far the horse had fallen. What occurred is best told by one of the party who was a little behind the others. **He had just been singing a song,’’ he said, *‘*the words of which were about the mystic number thirteen, when some one cried out. ‘There goes one of the horses over the gorge.’ I jumped up and saw the horse just as he broke from his fastening and disappear- ed. Fora minute I was paralyzed. When I did creep near the gorge I saw flashes of light fly from the rocks far down. These sparks shone through the trees as horse and wagon quickly passed to the roadbed at the river’s bank.

At 11:30 o’clock this moraing a jury, con- Sisting of Walter C. Bailey, Charles Blair, Mi- chae) Brooks, J.C. Cunningham, D. McAteer and Edward Saxv, was impaneled, and atter viewing the bouy at the Morgue, ‘the in- uest wus begun. The _—ifirst witness examined was OFFICER J. J. SLATTERY, who testified: ‘‘I recognize the body of the man at the Morgue as that of Jackson Gardner, colored, I have known him for about one year. Something like that period ago I arrested him at the instigation of John Gazzolo, a saloon keeper on the corner of Thirteenth and St. Charles streets, on a charge of stealing liquor from his estab- lishment. He was arraigned in the Court of Criminal Correction and sentenced to six months’ imprisonment inthe Work-house. At the expiration ot his term deceased was sent back on a charge of petit larceny, in stcaltng some bedclothes, for a term of another month. What he has done since tnat timel know not. I know nothing of last night’s shooting.’’ SERGEANT SAM BROWN next testified: ‘‘Last evening I was on duty at the Central Dniustrict Police Station at about 11:30 o’clock, when I heard that anegro had been shot to death. Presently Of- ficer Wm. D. Hogan came in and informed me that ne had been detailed in citizen’s dress for a special purpose and that while cn the corner of Sixth and Pine streets he was approached by an un- known negro. * * * He arrested him un- der a charge of the city nances, after ai slight struggle, and started to take him to the Chest- nut street police station. The prisoner was so restiess, according to his story, that he was compelled to draw his revolver on him. When going to the corner of Fifth and Chestnut streets the negro turned, struck him a blow in the stomach and ran north to Pine street. He cried halt several times and then, being without a club, fired one cham ber ot nis revolver into the air to attract the attention of his brother officers. The negro turned down Pine street, and he then heard another shot and on rounding the corner of Pine steet founda that his former prisoner was dead. I question- ed Officers Carr, Fenlon and Burke about the matter, and all denied any knowledge of who fired the fatal shot. Officer Carr, who was further away than the remaining officers, only heard one _ shot fired. Neither Officer Burke nor Fenlon knew Hogan in his cit'zea’s clothes, and Officer Burke stated to me that he was afraid of getting too close to the negro for fear of getting in range of the pursuer’s pistol. Atthe time of the first shot he is positive that it was fired into er ~ aa He huried his club at the fugitive he ran around the corner of W ell’ s dry goods store. Both Fenlon and Burke stated to me that neither of them drew their revolvers. Heard the second shot fired, but knew not from whence it came. I exam- ined the revolvers of the three officers very minutely. The weapon of Officer Hogan bore evidence ot one chamber having been dischargec; that of Officer Burke had not been discharged at all, while that of Officer Fenlon had three empty chambers, which he stated had been discharged on the 4th of Jast month. LIexamined his weapon closely, and found that at least several days had elapsed since ithud been discharged. It was about balf past eleven o'clock when the officers came up from the ‘Chestnut Street Station and delivered up their revolvers. Officer Ho- gan was, to the best ot my knowledge, detailed on special duty in citizen’s clothes last night. I iden- tify the deceased as having been arrested sev- eral times during life on various charges. His character was nvotorious.’’ The next witness called was OFFICER WILLIAM D. HOGAN, wbo made the following statement: I am a police officer and have been connected with the Mctropolitan Department for the past three years. Last night by order of mg precinct Sergeant, Boyd, rT was assigned to special duty dressed in citizen’s clothes. My territory was between Pine and St. Charlies streets and on Fifth and Sixth streets. I made one arrest during the evening, and went downto the Chestnut Street Police Station, where I met Acting-Chief Lee. He authorized me to go over in the nr eigbbo: nuood of Eleventh and Chestnut Ri.ee's, which ldid. On my return! wentto the cor- ner of Sixth and Pinestreets, whcreI found a colored man standing in a doorw ay. Ue ac- costed me ° I then in- formed him that nai ie ne a himselt under arrest. After a short struggie, during which I, having noclub, was oblived to draw violating ordi- ; my revolver, he surrendered and we started to go to the _ station-house. I saw trom his actions thatI would baveaficht before I ever gut himlocked up. When we got to the northwest corner of Fifth and Chestnut streets, Garaner (1 did not know his name then) turned and struck me a blow in the abdomen that rendered me powerlers fora moment; it cawwne with such foree. He then turned and ran up North Fifth street.
