POOL INCIDENTS.
Passenger Men in Turmoil Under the Pool

Passenger Men in Turmoil Under the Pool
ing Agreement.
L. D. Richardson, general manager of the
Chicago and Ohio river pool, is beginning to get
the inside of matters. His experience in the
past has been largely with freight men, who, it
is understood, think more of their word and the
binding qualities of a pooling agreement than do
passenger men, Everyday experience Is aiding
him 10 learning the tricks and mode the passen-
ger men have of shielding themselves il caught
in cutting rates or dealing with scalpers. On
Friday last he was in the hot-bed of pool de-
moralIzing transactions. At Louisville lie met
the general passenger agents of the roads doing
business out of there, to attempt to straight
en- out the Irregularities. One gem
eral passenger agent was charged with
cutting the Chicago rate to So through scalpers.
He rose gracefully from mis- chair and remarked
TO the manager of the pool that he was ignorant
Ihdt any TICKETS had Oeen solo through a scalper.
The manager questioned him Quite pointediy,
when the general passenger agent remarked
that he hoped to he paralyzed there and etern-
ally damned, IT the road which he represented
had, slnce the pool went into effect, sold a ticket
from Louisville TO Chica go through the scalpeF as
charged. A t this juncture the general passenger
agent of a competing line stepped to the front
and handed Manager Richardson six tickets
which had been bought that morning from a Lou
isviile scalper for Chicago at IS, with the proper
afhdavits. This was a sumner for Manager Rich
ardsoR. He never knew freight men to carry
matters so Taf, Du5 ne soon rallied
from the shock and ordered the scalper
who sold these tickets brought before him, aud
within a nalf-hour he was brought in, and then
the fun commenced. The offending general pas
sengera agent eyed the scalper, and then yelled
out: "Are you the ID scOundrel that has
made me this trOuble2' and then turning to
Manager Richardson. he SAID he never had sold
a ticket through that scalper; never was In his
office, and, in fact, never saw the cuss before;
had not been on the street he did business on for
two years. This brought out d roar of laughter
from the fifteen or more passen-
ger men present. Manager Richard

sger, wondering what was to come next. After
the laughter had suhslded, the scalper was
placed on the stand. He admitted selling the
tickets at IS, although he had no guarantee from
the general passenger agent that he would
meet the cut rate. He supposed from
past experience, that a 81 so cut would be made
en- each ticket, and he would then be ahead So
on the six tickets. Finally, the meeting ended
by Manager Richardson saying that the evil
denee was not sufficient TO convict the general
passenger agent, aud, therefore, he would not
enforce the penalties. II the general passenger
agent was guilty he would be forgiven this once,
but muSU sin no more.

HELoDERMA ~sUsPECTUNI.
A Specimen of the Creature To BE Seen in the
City-An About Him and His Species.

A living specimen of this species may be seen
in the show-windOw of John Hurty's pharmacy,
corner of Ohio and Pennsylvania streets. 1t has
a shining and f1inty armor of jet black and or
ange scales, irregularly scattered over its body.
1t Is about twenty inches long, sluggish in con-
1nement and repulsive in appearance. The
question of its venomous nature being compli-
Gated by opposing testimony, Prof. E. d. Cope
gave 1t the specific name of suspectum. IL has
the assured teeth peculiar to poisonous reptiles,
and the efferent ducts Of the salivary glands is
sue at the bases of the grooves of the teeth, evil
IDENTIFY with the effect to carry the saliva into
the wound. Prof. Cope says that small animals
do not always die from the effect of the bite.
DR.. R. W. Shufeldt, United States army, was
severely bitten Sept. Is, 1882, in the thumb by
a captive helOderlna, in tho Smithsonian lu-
s%titution. The bite caused great pain, swelling
If the hand, and faIntness. The pain was severe
through the night, but with no further symp-
toms. After the bite the indignant ana lrrlGated
lizard became dull and sluggish, as with Veno-
nous reptiles. DR.. Shufeldt does not regard the
bite of the ella monster" as more harmful than
thai of other irriuated animals; as, for example,
angry cats, or even men.
They are not uncommon visitors at the Smith
~sonlan-thrlvlng for several months on eggs,
raw or boiled. They finally, as will probably be
the fate of this one, find their way into the alco-
hol tanks of the museum.
An allied species is heloderma horridum, Of
Mexico, over three feet long. The ella monster
is found throughout the SOuthwest-Utah, New
Mexico, Arizona and Lower California. This
lizard is one of 800 known species, eighty of
which inhabit America, north of Mexico.
The horned toads are weil-known lizards from
the same locality. The pine-tree lizard, seven
inches long, occurs in Indiana, as also the six
lined lizard, yellow-sJreaked and sllvery and

AN ACCIDENT ON THE l., &. & w.
A Car Thrown from the Track and Several
Persons from This City Badly Hurt.

The rear car of the west-bound passenger
was thrown from the track. yesterday afternoon,
while crossing the switch at RaIntuwn, a sta
ton twenty miles west of the city. and several
passengers were injured. One OF the strange
features of the accident is that only the last car
was thrown from the track. The train at the
time YVES running at a high rate of speed, and
nfter dragging the derailed car for a distance of
fifty yards or more over the ties it rolled
down the embankment, throwing the passengers
together in a struggling mass, entangled in
the time, seven of whom were rather BADLY in
jured. DR.. 1, G. Walker, of this city, had his
back badly wrenched, and, although not danger
ously injured, will probably be confined to the
house for several days. w. e. Whitehead,
Massachusetts avenue, was the most
seriously injured. He was badly bruised
about the body and one rib was fractured. 1t IS
not thought, howe yer. that his injuries are of a
fatal nature. DR.. Walker and Mr.. Whitehead
were sitting in the same seat at the time the
accident occurred. c. Mayo, also of this city,
had several bad gashes cut in his scalp. These
brought here on the train arriving last evening
at $50 O'Clock. c. II. Williams, of DoylestOwn,
Pa, was injured in the back and hip; G. l.. Freed
man, OF Cincinnati, scalp wound; Ellen Williams,
face badly bruised; A. Gresom, OF Sylvania, Ia,
hand crushed. The last four named were taken
to Danville, ILL.,, for treatment. The accident.
Conductor Evans thinks, was probably caused
by the rails spreading whiie the train was pass
ing over them. 1t is regarded as rather miracu-
lous that none of the passengers were killed.
