WHIPPED By A SNAKE.

REMARKABLE CAUSE OF A RUNAWAY
IN sOHUYLKILL COUNTY.
A terrific runaway Of horse attached
to q spring wagon and driven by a man
named James Coons occurred on the
lturnpike, near Mine Hill Gap, yester-
day. The horse, generally well-dfs.
posed animal, was jogging alone quietly
when one OF his fore feet grazsd o black
snake, which was crossing the road. The
snake at once reared its head and sank
Its fangs into the horse's leg, above the
knee al the same time coiling itself
around the limb. The horse snsrted
with terror and dashed of at q terrific
pace. The driver was almost thrown
from his seal, but managed to retain it
and held firm grip on the reins. The
road was rough and the wagon was
thrown first to one side and then to the
other Of the thoroughfare, as the mad
denned horse tried to shake off the snake
In its wild race. The snake clunR to
his hold, but the race was brought 10 a
sudden termination by a sharp curve in
the road. The driver was unable TO
make the turn and horse and wagon
dashed into brush fence. The driver
was thrown over the fence, but fortu-
nately alighted in safety on his feet
The horse made desperate efforts TO ex-
tricate itself and showed such extreme
terror that Coons concluded that some
thing uncommon must have caused his
fright and subsequent runaway. Catch
ing the horse by the bride he endeayor-
ed to calm the animal. While engaged
in the task he noticed the snake which
was still coiled around the animals
legi Suddenly catching the reptile by
the tail he pulled with all bis strength.
The tip of the tail came off in his grasp
and the snake at once uncolled and fell
to the ground. The horse was finally
extrlcAyed from his unpleasant position
ai1 securely tied until he had become
somewhat quiet. The snake was killed.
1t measured four feet six inches In

THE NEWEST TEMPERANCE
PROJECT.

The most original of the many
proposed laws for the suppression
of intemperance is the bill now un-
der consideration in Indiana requir-
ing that any man desiring to drink
shall take out O yearly license, price
ten dollars, the money to go to the
support of inebriate asylums and the
license to be cancelled the first time
its holder is found drunk. Such a
law would be effective in many
ways. In the first place, it would
distinctly draw the line between
drinkers and the non. drinking class.
The church committee that might
want TO know of the habits of can
didates for admission, and the faith
ers of manageable daughters who
are much sought after by young
men, would not have to depend upo
on hearsay instead of evidence; they
could satisfy themselves fully by re-
ferring to the official list of license
holders. The licensed would be
compelled, in order TO continue in
indulgence, TO devise some way of
learning when they have drank
enough, which is something that, up
to the present time, no drinking
man has ever been able to discover.
Last, but not least, such a law
would compel drinking man to be
ten dollars ahead to start with-a
financial condition to which few
consumers of liquor ever attain
Perhaps If the inebrlate were to find
himself with ten dollars in his pock-
ct he would be tempted to make ad-
ditions to it instead of throwing
away his money in order to lose his
brains.-N. Y. Herald.

EUGENIE IN ENGLAND.
THE Ex.EMPREss REFUSED A GRAVE
BESIDE HER HUSBAND AND HER

THE Ex-EMPREss REFUSED A GRAVE
BESIDE HER HUSBAND AND HER
SON.
Vanity Fair, April2.
The real reason why the Empress
Eugene has left Camden Place AID
Chiselhurst and is about to establish
herself near Marlborough is far from
being suspected but the story in one
altogether 30 discreditable to the taste
and good feeling of more than one Eng
lish subject that it may well be set
down here for warning and reproof.
1t appears that when the Empress
received the remains of her dead son
she conceived the very natural desire
to make in the little chapel at Chisel-
hurst three burying places-that is to
say, the two already required for her
husband and her son, and third for
herself, in order that those who had
so loved each other in life should not
in death be separated. 1t was then
discovered that in order TO get space
for the three tonbs 1t would be neces-
sary to acquire piece Of land forming
part of the field adjoining the chapel.
The owner of this field was according
ly communicated with, and request
made that he would sell the very small
piece of land required. He, however,
fatty refused, on the ground, as / am
Informed, that he would not part
with any land at all for 'fdolatrous
purposes" Lord Sydney, the lord of
the manor, intervened to overcome the
objection, and the Queen herself ex-
pressed an earnest desire that the
Empress's which might be carried out.
But it was all in vain. The owner Of
the ground refused altogether to be
persuaded and the unfortunate En-
press has had no alternative but to
leave Camden H0nse, endeared TO her
by so many memories, and to seek an
other and more hospitable place
where she may bury her dead and live
herself.
But this is not all. Finding that
she could not take up her abode in her
new house till month after the date
a. which she was to give up Camden
Place, the Empress appealed to the
tenant who was to succeed her in that
house to allow her to remain the month
there. This tenant-Mr. Ferdinand
de othschild-declined however to
allow her to do SO, though he said she
might remain for another fortnight
Under these circumstances Mr.. Edw.
Barring very handsomely came forward
and placed at the Empress's disposal
his house at Combe, where the unfor.
tunate lady 10 now staying.
