Snake i'm a Woman's Stomach.
 MT. VERNON, May Mrs. J. B. Elliott, of this city, has been i'll six months with a mysterious ailment which the local physicians are unable to diagnose. The lady believes a snake which she alleges she swallowed while drinking from a spring last fall has remained in her stomach and grown to great size; she says she can feel it moving about and bite her. A physician advised her to fast ten days and when the snake should get real hun gry get it up by holding pan of fresh and fragrant milk before her open mouth. Ab- stinence was begun, and yesterday being the fifth day and Mrs. Elliott feeling ravenous and supposing her lodger equally hungry had pan of the best milk obtainable brought and fixed herself in an inclined position, her heels higher than her head, her open mouth close over the milk-but the snake refused to be beguiled and the aroma of the milk over powered the hungry woman, and threw her into convulsions and induced such dangerous sinking spells that the physicians brought the fast to conclusion and compelled the pa tient to eat. The failure of the experiment made Mrs. Elliott sicker than before and she despairs of being ever able to outfast the snake. Her inability to starve out the snake produced state of mental anguish which the doctors say will lead to insanity.

A Sultan's Death-His Veins Opened and
 He Bleeds to Death.
 CoNsTANTINoPLE, May "Details of the murder of Sultan Abdul Asiz show that a fearful crime was committed. It seems that committee of influential persons was appointed and Fahri Bey, second chamber lain, selected for the crime. He introduced into the Sultan's private apartment two eunuchs and professional wrestler. Fahri Bey then attacked the victim and threw him on the sofa and choked his voice while one of the e1nuc7ss opened his veins with a dagger. Two of them held his feet and a vein in his right arm was opened. At first there was a terrible struggle. The Sultan succeeded in freeing himself from Fahri Bey, but the latter struck him several severe blows in the face, shattering the Sultans teeth. The wrestler then opened a vein in the Sultan's left arm and finally the latter fell to the floor unconscious from loss of hIood

A Brutal Eviction-Dublin Put Under
 the Coercion Act-DiIIon Threatened
 With Arrest.
 DUBLIN, May 1.-Dennis Leary, his wife, six children and aged mother were evicted a few days ago under circumstances of unusual brutality. Leary held a farm on the estate belonging to MT. Thomas Gillenan, of Clona- kitty. The rent was e50 and the valuation exactly half that sum. It seems that deter mined resistance was offered by the two women to the action of the bailifs who had to be assisted by the police. The head con- stable aimed his rifle at Leary's wife to intim- when the whole affair was over she was lying on the roadside in such an exhausted condi- ton that the police deemed it advisable to send priest and doctor to attend her after the eviction was effected. Leary, who was evicted for the non-payment of one years rent, entered on his farm several years ago with capital of e5O0 which he amassed in America. He now leaves the rack-rented holding penniless man. Whatever opinion is entertained of the main provisions of the Land bill, there can be no doubt about the universal condemnation which has been hurled against those minor clauses which pro- pose to foster emigration. The tide of emi- grafton has already reached alarming figures.
 Information has been received from Cliff den, county Galway, that a bailif named King was roasted for some time over a fire by a party of disgusted men. Ills skin was blist- tered and his hair all singed off. Before he was released he was obliged to swear that he would resign his office. He now lies in very dangerous condition.
 This city has been declared as prescribed district under the coercion act and there is much excitement thereat. MT. Dillon's ar rest is imminently expected. It is rumored that the government proposes to attack the whole organization of the Land League.
 Two youths named Farrell and Reilly were shot to-day by very gentlemanly looking man, who ran away after the deed. The cause of the outrage is supposed to be politi- cal motives.

Death on the Rail.


 DOVER, May LA horrible accident oc- cured yesterday at the three span railroad bridge, about a mile and half from this place, resulting in the instant death of a young woman and fatally injuring her sister, girl of ten years. Their names are, re- spectively, Mary and Lillie Wilcox They had been out after the cows, and having driven them across the river they went on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western rail road, and started for the bridge. A coal train, was passing westward, and it is sup posed that they got out of it's way only. to step in front of the Oswego express, going eastward. Both of the sisters were struck simultaneously by the rapidly moving train. Mary was twenty one years old. Her sister was so badly injured that it is impossible for her to live but few hours longer. The base of her skull is fractured and driven in to the brain. Her left leg is broken above the knee and she is also injured internally The train was stopped and the dead and dy- ing sister brought to the Dover depot.
