A Texas Tragedy.

A special from Henrietta, Tex, says
G. NJ. Burgess, who killed NJ. Donley
last November, was shot and killed yes
terday by w. Il. Curtis, the cattle king,
one of the largest stock owners in Texas,
at the postotfice here during the deliv-
cry of the mail. Burgess, It is stated,
showed Curtis roughly aside. Hot words
passed, when Burgess tried to draw a
revolver, but Curtis was quicker, and
shot Burgess, who turned and staggered
towards the door, Curtis still firing on
him. Burgess took only few steps,
and fell dead two feet from where he
had killed Donley. Two men we're &C
cideutally wounded, but it is thought
not seriously. Curtis at once surren-
dered to the authorities, and requested
ali immediate trial. He sent word from
the Jail to the wounded men that he
would pay all their expenses for the
time lost, and if permanently injured
would fully provide for them. Burgess
intended to kill Curtis at the time of
the shooting of Donley, and is alleged
to have threatened Curtis's life on sew
etal occasions Public sentiment is en-
tirely with Curtis.

LIPPINCOTT's MAGAZINE

There Is n lavish amount of entertaining

eric @. Mathcr takes up the history OF repre-
sentative Western city, "Joinwater," which Is
apparently pseudonyme for Cleveland, and
traces it growth and social changes during the
ten decades of its existence, as eXemplined In
the successive styles OF building adopted by It's
citizens, from the log hut OF the 1rst settlers
to the 'Newport Villa" OF the present day.
The illustrations, including fine frontispiece,
exhibit the development from one style TO an
other through successive notifications at q
glance. and help to render the article real
contribution to that social history OF our coun-
tryfwhich Is now attracting wide attention.
"1he London Season" is capitally described by
Norman Pearson, who, among other sketches,
gives us one Of a GLASS of young men closely re-
sembling our own Dudes but known In En-
lows and His Sorrows" by Franklin North,
carries US to the other end of the social scale,
and depicts the condition and peculiarities OF
the sailor under its pathetic as well as humor-
Gus aspects, while laying particular stress on
the slight protection afforded 10 the men OF
our merchant marine, and the consequent i'm
positions practiced upon them by ship-owners,
masters and boarding-house keepers. Kate
Hillard gives an amusing description OF "A
Roman Pension" with its queer arrangement
of rooms and its cosmopolitan inmates. "A
Night with Remenyi," by l.. j. &, will be found
especially delightful by all who have ever list

tific character, and Mrs. Margaret J. Preston S

There is no need TO call attention to THE
Jewel in the Lotos, of which long instalment
is given in this number, and which maintains
its interest and charm without abatement.
"Leander," by Marion Couthouy, is a striking
and pathetic story, and "Elon Slocum's Mira

The "Esoss' Snake Story.

Jake Barringer, tenant who was
blowing OH Mr.. John Wadsworth 5 farm
recently, turned up with the plowsha
one of those urosities-aj ointed snake.
The reptile was about a yard in length,
and was put together in four sections.
The darby did not know what sort OF a
snake it was when it first turned up, and
hit it with stick to kill it. AT the
first blow the snake fell all to pieces,
the head going one way and the tail
part another, and the two body pieces
Jumped off in different directions. The
amazed darky resumed his blowing,
went to the end of the turrow, and on
his return was surprised to see the snake
all together again except the tail-piece,
aud, watching few minutes, saw the
tail coming up to join tho body, taking
sharp, quick little jerks. 1t came near
er aud nearer until within few inches
of the three fourths snake, when it gave
a sudden jump and hitched on i'll its
proper place, with a fuss resembling the
popping OF cap. The darky knocked
it to pieces several times, and each time
it came together again. lie carried his
amusement a little too far, however, IN
throwing the tail part of the snake
across the creek, just to see, as he said,
show long it would take it to catch up,
but it never caught up. The snake with
its three joints was carried to the house,
and the tail is no doubt still going about
the woods hunting for snake to hitch
onto.-Charlone (N. c. Observer.

A rather startling case has been
called to the attention of the medical
profession 10 Cincinnati, O., being that
of a man who for the past seventeen
years has not only had a snake in his
stomach, but whole family of lizards.
The name of this remarkable zoologist
Is Jacob Becker, a laborer at present
living with his family at No. PIG Poplar
street. He has been in this country
since 1866, and since that time has
married and reared nine strong healthy
children. But he has always been un-
well, his form is wasted 10 the bone,
and his looks are wan and haggard.
At times he could not eat, then again
he would be perfectly ravenous, and
could not obtain enough food to satisfy
his appetite. At all times he has been
miserable, and pain aud exhaustion
have ever made him take dismal view
of life.
Scores of physicians have treated him
for what they supposed to be his NAL
ady, but none have ever benefited him
him in the least. Generally they have
only aggravated mis- troubles. So much
money has he spent on doctors bills
that he has been obliged to sell two
houses, tho results of years of frugality,
to satisfy the claims Recently he
consulted DR.. John Brakeman 10 regard
to his ailment. The physician studied
the case, and at last formed a theory
which proved to be correct. He gave
his patient most powerful emetic,
and Becker began vomiting, and did
not cease until snake, eighteen inches
in length, and one large and five small
lizards, and a sac containing a number
of eggs, were yomited up. Almost
Immediately he felt relieved, and since
that time he has been better in every
way. When questioned in regard to
the matter, Becker says that seventeen
years ago while wandering in the woods
near Frankweiler, Germany, he was
very hot and thirsty, and stopped to
drink at a wsyside pool. Being in a
hurry he scooped the water up in his
hands, and drank without looking.
Soon after he was taken with the most
violent nausea, and since that time he
hes never been well. 1t is highly prob
able that on that occasion he swallo wed
the uncanny visitors, that have made
such burden of life.

A storm began at Deadwood, d. T.,
Saturday morning with the highest water
ever known in the White Wood river.
The stream runs through the heart of the
city. A channel was cut 100 yards wide,
and everything went before the food. All
the towns Of the gulch are badly damaged.
Pennington is entirely gone. The valley
is flooded, and half of Spearfeld is washed
away. Crook City is nearly all gone.
Geo. Chandler and wife and two unknown
men are known to have been drowned.
The loss is roughly estimated at 5000, 900.
Forest fires in the vicinity of Groton
Pond, VT, on Saturday destroyed the de-
pot buildings of the Montpelier and Wells
Railroad, a large steam mill, number of
tenement houses and a vast quantity of
wood and lumber. The people of the
town took refuge in boats and RATS on the
lake. A broad strip of territory on both
sides of the railroad was laid waste for
six miles,
