happened to glance upward and saw
a large snake, which fastened its eyes
upon him and attracted his attention
to such "a degree, that it was impossi-
bic for him to break away. AS he
continued to look at the reptile, a
large red ball seemed to appear on
the head Of the snake, and at this
point, the subsection of the boy was
complete. The snake descended
from his perch and proceeded to coil
himself about the legs Of his victim.
The pain resulting from the COM
pressed limb seems to have broken
the spell Ut the monster, and the boy
took out his knife and cut off its head.
Uncoiling his adversary he carried
the snake to his father and told his
strange story. nor could the closest
questioning cause him to contradict
it. The snake was nearly six feet
long, black, and of species hereto
fore unknown in this neighborhood.
The story ia strange one, and wor-
thy the investigation of persons Of
scientific inclinations. = Logansport

WEST TOWNSHIP.
j. M GRAFT.


G. Stricken has sold his farm to Leedy.
Miss Lizzie Gambrill has gone to Iowa
on visit.
Rev. Stein, of Missouri, will begin meet
ings at the German Baptist Church next
Monday evening.
The other Saturday evening, while Rev.
Bell, was preaching to an interested con-
gregation at the Thompson school house,
some scalawags stole his buggy cushion,
and also those belonging to St. c. Boiler
and ]. Wolf.
The German Baptist communion meet
ing past of pleasantly and quietly. About
five hundred members partook of the
Lords supper. There were fifteen Access
sions to the Church. Elder Calvert, of
Warsaw, and other ministers were present.
The "school marin" that is teaching the
Flat Lake school is not much in favor of
the Greenbackers. She locked the door
and nailed down the windows, but they
were determined to have a speech, and
broke the door open and went in.
We saw grand curiosity the other
day. 1t was a man out cunning, and his
face was drawn all out of shape. We
watched him while. and finely his face
came to its natural shape, when We discov-
led it to be John Bunnell who had
caused all the excitement, and all because
it was a ''wee boy"
Quite number of our citizens attended
the German Baptist Conference held at
Manchester, Ind, and your correspondent
was one of the company. The tabernacle
is situated two miles west of town, and is
$50 feet long by eighty feet wide. The
audience room would seat $500 persons,
while the dining hall was capable of seat
ing 1000. In the cook room everything
was conveniently arranged; two large
boilers, capable of holding and cooking
whole beef at once, were set over we'll
built furnace, while one of Perkins wind
pumps furnished continually good sup
ply of fresh water to every department of
the building. In the center Of the room
was water-tank, and above it letter-box
where mail could be deposited. There was
also place where all matter addressed to
the Conference is delivered. Just above
the letter-box hung a gong of American
manufacture, and when silence was desired
the foreman would step upon platform,
strike the gong and silence reigned
throughout the building. The building is
we'll constructed and reflects much credit
upon the committee in charge Of the work.
Extensive preparations had been made by
the entire church membership for the en-
tertainment of the brethren free of charge.
The amount of provisions consumed was
immense. We left the third day; at that
time they had used twenty-seven beeves,
besides large quantity Of bread, butter,
apple butter. pickles, coffee, tea, sugar. and
other things necessary to supply the phys
ical wants of the brethren. On Tuesday
about $1,000 people were on the grounds,
and $500 were furnished with dinner.
Ministers from all parts of the United
States were present, and they occupied all
the pulpits and school houses in Manches-
ter and the surrounding country every
night. The object Of the Conference was
to make laws and regulations to govern
the general brotherhood. They transacted
large amount of business. sf

Another miners outbreak occurr

Another miners outbreak occurred
at Coal Greek. Fountain county, last
Saturday, in which one colored man,
named Thomas Minis, was killed, and
two colored men and two white men
slightly wounded. There are many
conflicting statements in regard to
the origin Of the ARRAY. The negroes
say that Frank Kelley, the man who
gave the testimony that resulted In
the acquital Of the rioters who were
arraigned for the murder OF Philip
Cozzens, last April. commenced the
firing without any provocation. and
MORALLY wounded Minis, and slightly
wounded two others, after which they
ran to their houses, got their guns
and pursued him to Habberton's
house. where he took refuge, and they
continued the firing until he and. a
man named Grysdale were slightly
wounded. Kelley says that he had
been threatened with death II he
passed between two rows of houses,
where he has been In the habit OF
passing, that he was met by several
negroes, who ordered him back and
threatened to kill him, he. drew his
revolver. but before he could use it,
was shot in the left arm, that he then
fired, MORALLY wounding Minis.
Twenty-Five negroes and eight white
men are under arrest. The real
cause OF the trouble seems to be a
determination to drive out the ne
groes who are working atless wages
than the old miners were willing to
take.

A County SwindIed out $4,000 by a
s.Riug.3


For the past twenty years Warren
county, New Jersey, has given an av-
erage Democratic majority of about
1900. For ten years there had been
steady increase of expenditures
and nothing to show for it; yet every
thing went on as usual, and at every
election the usual majority was rolled
up for the "Dimicrat ticket" As
taxes increased and the bonded debt
OF the county increased, one Republi-
can editor was bold enough to sug-
gest an investigation. and he was
prosecuted for libel. But the exist
ence Of ring was SO manifest that
the late election was made to turn
on the question Of breaking it up,
and for two or three weeks past the
new board Of chosen free-holders
have been investigating the manner
in which the county funds have been
expended. When the Treasurer found
that an examination was to be made,
he destroyed his books and made
new set, in the meantime receiving
back from those who had filched
money from the treasury by false
vouchers about $4,000. Vouchers
for thousands OF dollars paid out
have been destroyed to prevent the
discovery Of their fraudulent charac-
ter; but enough is known to show
that the ring has ssiudled the county
out of at least $4,000. and Warren
county will not probably allow one
set Of men to again control the coun-
ty offices for twenty years, even
though they are good Democrats.

Only twenty-one Democrats voted

that they are only trying to make
capital for the Democratic party. and

THE MARsEILLEs BRIDGE.-Amoug other
bridges to which the supervisors made an appro-
pration at their late session for the purpose of
making them free was the toll bridge across the
Illinois river at Marsellcs. The towns have
raised all the money needed on their part 10 pur-
chase the bridge, and the county money is ready,
but the freeing of the bridge hangs fire on ac-
count of the refusal of the road commissioners of
the town of Fall River to sign the necessary pa
pers. Their excuse is said to be that they do
not wish to cast upon the town its proportion of
the expense of keeping the bridge in repair.
