THE spEAKEasHrp SETTLED

The Democratic members of the House
Of Representatives sat in caucus, last
Saturday, and nominated Hon. Michael
G. Kerr, of Indiana, for Speaker. The
nomination is equivalent to an election,
and Kerr will undoubtedly be elected to-
day. He is an experienced parliam n
tartan and has the reputation of being a
faithful and honest repre1entativs-no
faint of Credit Moobilier or salary grab is
attached to tho new Speaker. He voted
against the salary grab and never pock-
eted cent of back pay. He is known
as hard money Democrat opposed to
imitation aud reputation. and in point
of ability is second to none. His nom-
nation in caucus over Randall, of Pa.
whose views on the currency question
correspond with those of Butler. Kelley,
Phillips and Allen. foreshadow the pol
icy of the Democratic party on the
financial question, and indicate that
Initiation is not. and will not. be one OF
its principles. Kerr has the reputation
of being incorruptible, and. as be has
the appointing of the many committees
which will be necessary for invsstiga
ton. reasonable hope may now be

Horrible Death from the Bite Of
Il Tarantula.

Mrs. Jervis, the wife of farmer
living near Sacramento, died a few
DAYS ago in this city, from the bite Of
a tarantula. The case is singular,
and is another instance of the deadly
attributes of this insect, not uncom-
mon in many portions Of California
Some six months ago, Mrs Jervis,
then living on her husbands farm,
had occasion TO strike light, and
going TO a closet felt about for a
match. While SO doing she found
something in piece of writing paper
which she thought might be bunch
of matches, and took hold of it, As
she did she felt a sharp pain like the
prick of a needle or pin, and found
something attached to her fore-fnger.
She screamed with terror, her
husband rose lit candle, and to his
horror found that she was bitten by a
tarantula-whose poison is deadly
unless the wound be Immediately y eau
terizeG He told his wife that she
bad only one chance of her life, to
have the injured part cut out. She
consented, and getting his razor, be
cut a piece one inch square out Of
her finger. The unfortunate woman
stood the operation heroicaIly, but its
effects were not such As were desired.
She fingered for siN months iu CON
tinual agony, her blood literally dry
ing up, till she was reduced to an
absolute skeleton Three months be-
fore her death Ter entire right side
became paralyzed yet, strange to
say, the hand had a tendency to crawl
and the fingers necessarily moved like
the legs of spider. This feeling
