The Texas ScOrniOn.

The scorpion, or singing lizard, as
the insect is Familiarity called, lives in
Southern chimes, where he can be found
in a boot, for instance, Immediately
after the man has put his foot in it. He,
the scorp, is only one and-a-half inches
long, and half his length is composed of
q siX-jointed tail, in the end of which
there is sting, with which he makes
himself talked about. After he has
driven that sting a few hundred yards
into victim, it is surprising how much
that man has to say about scorpions in
general. and that particular scorpion in.
particular, and how duently he says it
1t is hard to believe the effort is i'm
promptu, but il is.
You might hold dozen post-mortem
examinations Oh as many scorpions, and
never suspect that the insect is a ped5-
pGlpOuS pulmonary GrdcbaGQaD of the
genus Sc0rpi0. To satisfy yourself on
that point, you must examine the
scorpion in Webster's illustrated I'M
abridged, where it is also stated that the
sting of the scorpion is painful. To be-
come persuaded of this latter fact. how
ever, you. need only examine the live
specimen that is not III the dictionary.
The harsh language Webster uses when
he calls the insect a pedipdIpOaS put
nlonGry 0rGchntdan suggests that pos
sibly Webster is trying to get even with
the whole species for the act of single
specimen.
The Texas scorpion does not seem to
have any steady occupation, but spends
most of his time loafing about old ruins
waiting for somebody to tread on the
tail of his coat. He is not unsociable,
for, like the house fly, he will climb
right into bed with perfect stranger.
On the slightest provocation, he will
curl his tail over his back like a bench
legged fee. He is very easy on the
trigger. One joint of the scorpion tail
has as much lifting power in it as a
seven-power horse-engine. 1t has been
known to raise two-hundred-poun
man right up off the ground at one eff
fort and picnic.
It has never been ascertained pre-
cisely What the scorpion lives on. Per-
haps he is sustained by the conscious
ness of knowing that he is a pedipaipoaS
pulmonary GrachRid0n. We have
known some peop'e with high-sounding
titles whose mode of making both ends
meet was profound mystery to the
general public. Nobody ever has been
known TO die from the rebuke of q
scorpion, but that they cause a species
of madness viii not be denied by any
body who has listened to the language
of a man who has been stung. Ii the
sufferer is not mad for the time, he
talks as if he was. -IeTGS Sitting.
The oldest citizen in Clarke County
is gentleman living in this city, Mr..
Isaac Dunnaway, who is now in his
ninety seventh year. For years he
has suffered from cancer upon his
face. In the year 1852, while out on
opossum hunt, one of the dogs was
taken with fit, and bit Mr.. Dunnaway
on the nose. 1t was from this bite,
more than thirty years ago, that the
cancer sprung, and will remain source
of much trouble until relieved by death.
Until a few years ago he was a stout,
hale old gentleman. ATHENS (Ga.)

THE STRIKING swITCHMEN.
No Violence Done as Yet, and Precau-
tiOns Taken by the Roads

No Violence Done as Yet, and Precau-
tiOns Taken by the Roads.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16.--It appears that the
switchmen in East st. Louis did not serve
formal notice Of their action on the Off
GERS Of the companies, but sent unsigned
notices to the station agents of the differ
ent roads The men in the Chicago and
Alton COmpany's yard have been getting
Chicago wages, but they joined the
strikers out Of sympathy and say they
will stand out until the demands of the
strikers are acceded to. The men on this
side of the river also acted out of sympathy
with the strikers, and they state that they
have no grievance and no fault to find
with their pay. The Ohio and Mississippi
Road being in the hands of areceiver and
under the protection of the United
States Court, several United States
deputy marshals arrived at East
st. Louis last night from
Springfield with instructions from the
United States District Attorney to arrest
anybody who attempts to interfere with
the transaction Of business on that road.
This may have a salutary effect on the
strikers, and the indications are that no
violence will be resOrted to. Some apprc-
hensiOn is felt that a freight blockade
may occur at East st. Louis as Il result of
the strike, but none of the railroads have
as yet refused freight. The managers of
the railroads have decided not to yield to
the demands of the strikers or to COM
promise. They are bringing men from
the country to fill the strikers places.
The strikers are holding secret meetings.

LONDON, Oct. 16.-The Mark Lane Err
press, in its review Of the British grain
trade during the past week, says: ''The
weather is favorable. Fresh samples of
wheat show an improved condition; there
is a good demand for fine, which are
scarce. Flour is very dull. Fine barley
is hardening; other kinds are easier.
Foreign wheat is unchanged, but prices
are i'm favor of the buyers. The stocks
are large. The price of foreign flour is in
the buyers favor. Maize is lower and
dull. Foreign barley is in the buyers
favor. There are few cargOes of wheat
off coast. There were seven arrivals
and three sales. Three cargoes were
withdrawn. One cargo of California re-
'mained. Trade forward is light. The
sales of English wheat during the week
were II, eco quarters at 40s. Sd. per quar-
ter, against 54,SO7 quarters at 39s. I'd. per

MERCANTILE CRASHES.
One of the Jay GOuIds of Mexico Force
to Temporary Suspension.

to a Temporary Suspension.
GALVESTON, Oct. 16.-A special dis
patch from Laredo says: "A great sensa-
tiOn was caused here by the announce
ment of the suspension at Monterey of
the great firm of ZembromO & Co., one of
the oldest and wealthiest houses in North
ern Mexico. Their liabilities are placed
at $S00,000. The effect of the failure on
Northern Mexico can only be compared
to that of Jay Gould in the United States.
The firm of ZembromO & Co. is reported
composed Of ZembromO, Gonzalez, TIevi-
no and George MadirO. Their business
outside of merchandise has extended
largely in the purchase OF valuable real
estOte and includes many of the
largest and finest hacienda in Mexico.
The immediate cause Of the suspension
is said to be the presentation for payment
OF two obligations amounting in the ag-
gregate to 100000, which could not be
cashed without several days delay. The
creditors refused to grant the delay, and
the paper went to protest. This produced
panic, and run was at once cOmmenc-
ed on the house by its smaller creditors,
which resulted in the firm closing its
doors. 1t is safe to say that the suspen-
sion Will be only temporary. Gold, Frank
n Co., of San Antonio, Texas, are said to
be among the heaviest creditors.
GALVESTON, Oct. 16.-A dispatch from
CuerO says: "A. W. Evans, dealer in dry
goods and groceries, has suspended. His
liabilities are $4,000 and his assets nOmi-
nally $19,O00''

WHEELING, Oct. 16.-An attempt was
made tonight to wreck passenger train
at Glen's run, seven miles above this city.
IhC train was running at the rate of go
miles an hour when the engine struck a
rail that had been laid across the track.
The locomotive jumped INTO the AIR, but
fortunately fell back on the rails. The
rear cars broke the distractions and the
train was uniniured. If the train had
been thrown of the track it would have
plunged over an embankment into the

MAHONEs FIGHT FOR POWER.
RiddIeberger to Take the Stump-Efforts
to Bring Out the COIOred Vote.
Richmond Special, October II.
~

ItcHHtOHU NI)ectdl, OctO0er IL.
Senators Malone and Riddleberger are
announced to speak at Buchanan, BOte-
tourt county, on the 26th inst. This will be
the second time Malone has appeared in
the canvass this year, and the first that
Riddleberger has, except on the stump in
his own State Senatorial district. The
Importance of the struggle makes it
necessary for Malone and his col
league to make personal appeals to
their followers. Riddleberger has gener-
ally been credited with being lukewarm
in this contest. 1t is known, however.
that he is now giving Malone all possible
aid, and that his failure to take the stump
Oftener was for purely personal reasons.
The boom given the Democratic cause by
the recent Ohio victory has greatly en-
couraged that party's leaders in this State,
and will undoubtedly be worth thousands
of votes to them IN the approaching cleo
tion. This was admitted yesterday by a
prominent Republican Mahoneite, who is
also a Federal officeholder. Realizing
the probability of failing of his white
Democratic followers, Malone is bending
every energy to bring out the negro vote,
especially in the close Legislative dis
trictS, where the undivided support of
that race, with some help from the
whites, will elect his candidates. In the
white counties, it is said, the Malone
speakers profess to be glad that the Demo-
Gratis carried Ohio. In sections where the
blacks are in a majority that class is made
to regard the Ohio victory as a great ma
tional disaster, and one which can only be
remedied by MahOne's success in this
State this year. The Malone State Off
cials, with few exceptions, have con-
tributed literally toward his campaign

A NOVELTY IN SHIP BUILDING
Swedish Inventors Design for Swift
and Strong Steamships.

Gen. w. 5. ROsecrans, member of Con-
gress from San Francisco, called at the
White House yesterday in company with
Capt. Charles ID. Lundborg, formerly of
the royal Swedish navy, to present a me-
mortal inviting the attention Of the Presi-
dent and Congress to what is described as
remarkably novel and important design
Tor the construction of ocean steamships.
which the Swedish inventor seeks to have
adopted by our government for cruisers
of unprecedented speed and capable Of
carrying few guns ofthe greatest weight.
The most prominent feature of the design
is that of so constructing the main body
of the snip astern as to divide the water
horizontally instead of vertically, thus
providing for the use of twin screws ofthe
largest propelling power, with their shafts
safely supported within the ships lower
hull. BY this means, in combination with
great sharpness of lines and other advan-
tages, it is claimed that ships may be
built according TO the proposed designs
that Will make upward of q knots per
hour, and cross the Atlantic in 81 days.
The memorial embOdies letters addressed
to Captain LundbOrg by Admiral Am
men, of the United States Navy, w. H.
Webb, of New York, and a number of
other persons, V0uched for by Admiral
Ammen as "the most eminent ship build
ers and experts in our country" all COM
mendlng this proposed new departure in
naval architecture in the highest terms.
They assert IN substance that vessels can
be thus constructed to have greater
speed, greater carrying capacity and
greater safety than have ever thus far
been attained by ocean steamships. The
memOrialists, after setting forth the novel
feature of the invention, and referring to
the testimonials Of the leading ship build
ers, say
''MaY it not, therefore, he assumed that
if this invention possesses the merit con-
ceded fOri by the eminent shipbuilders
who have examined and approved it, that
its development and application by the
United States Government will be the
surest and most speedy means of laying
a reliable foundation for an effective navy
and for a merchant marine adequate TO
the demands of our ocean carrying trade
in the transportation of American mails.

carried in foreign bottoms, and for which

spectfully submit this important inyen-
tion to your most favorable consideration
for such action as may seem to be wise and

prestige upon the seas"
