stead OF placing the explosives In several large
masses, II Is to be scattered over the rock In

rock columns that support the roof, the number
varying according to the height Of the column.
These are TO be charged with the explosives. and
then II Is to be exploded by means Of electricity.

KING SNdkE's FIGHT.

Prom ne san LIie tribune


George Meears. of Walker Brothers &
Co., has snake that Is attracting many spec
tators. The gentleman who captured II and
Prof. Warner Of Sandy pronounce II the King
snake" Its captOr says that while he was In
the mountains on Monday last, his attention
was attracted by peculiar singing noise, and In
casting his eyes about he beheld not many feet
from him, an enormous rattlesnske coiled up
in readiness to jump, and. In moment, 10
sprang down the hillside several feet, and com
menced series OF such rapid movements that
the spectators eye could scarcely keep track OF
IL. The movements were incessant for several
minutes. during which time the snake had
seemed to dance" over several rods OF ground
but II finally crawled on to a rock.
The gentleman now first saw the king snake
make spring Of nearly ten feet and light upon
the rattesnake. Then another series Of quick
and vigorous movements ensusd. lasting several
more minutes. Round after round followed,
each more desperate than the last, until an
hour had passed. Thea both belligerents were
exhausted, and the rattles make was inclined to
crawl out. he little one, however, kept up the
fight, and finally getting its fangs fastened into
its foes throat, 1t held on until the rattlesnake
died. Then the cunqueror set to work dragging
lis dead enemy of the field. The witness now
interfered. and, throwing his coat over the King
snake, captured IT. lie then exam ned the dead
tattlesnake, and found q small hole in its thto t.,
that being the only visit le wound on II. After

from ne Chicago Tribune
The receipts OF gram at New York have
increased at marvellous rate since Mir. Wander
bit withdrew tho New York Central from the
pool, and began carrying freight from Chicago
TO New York Just as cheaply as any other sea-
port. Iuis shows that New York can take re
OF Itself, but 1t Ia only on the equitable basis Of
carrying the grain 70 the seaboard at that point
at other points without regard to mileage. This
the New York Central can do, because Of its
superior facilities and level grade. The cost Of
carving the grain TO New York over the Central
ID larger than OF carrying IL to Philadelphia or
Baltimore over the mountainous districts lrav-
ersed by the Pennsylvania Central and Dilti-
more and OHIO Railroads. Vanderbilt says he
VIII never agree upon uniform rates again, OK
10 the number Of miles. and II he adheres to
this both he ami New York will benefit thereby.
