How Sne K,lleu a Big Snake.

Miss Nellie Whitney, of Kingston,
N. Y, was going ont calling, and on
opening the front door that leads to the
piazza she was startled to see a big
snake facing her and kissing. She shut
the door in hurry, and then, stopping
to think a moment, made up her mind
that if she would open the door little
the snake would come in, and shutting
the door with slam she could squeeze
it to death. Her idea was speedily put
in practice, and the reptile was killed
in the novel way she planned. The
snake measured four feet in length.

Three Killed and Ten Wounded by q

Three Killed and Ten Wounded by a
Crash on Michigan Railroad.
BATTLE CREEK, Mich, April 27.--A ter
rible railroad accident occurred this morn
ing at O'Clock, on the Chicago and Grand
Trunk, one mile West Of Olivet Station,
and 12 miles east OF this place killing thrse
persons and wounding ten. The Pacific ex-
press had passed freight at Charlotte, five
miles east OF the point OF collision, just be-
fore the accident. The air brakes on the
express gave out and the train was stopped
at the foot of slight grade and signal
sent back 10 the freight train, which was a
heavy one. For some reason it passed the
signal and rushed along into the rear end of
the passenger train, shiyerlng into fragments
two Pullman coaches, the engine gcing half
way through the rear sleeper and shatteriug
both trains.
AN UNAVOIDABLE CRASH.
The engineer of the freight tells that he
had only about train length of warning of
what was before him, hut as he was on a
heavy down grade, with train of over 80
heavy cars behind him, he could not stop
her, though his brakeman answered his call
for brakes nobly, and stuck to their work
on top ofthe train, screwlng down brakes
with all possible dispatch. The disabled
train lay Just around q sharp curve and
nothing could avert the crash. His engine
10 badly wrecked.
OF course the most terrible confusion
reigned. The night was very dark, but, as
soon as possible, the work began of clearing
away the debris, and removing the dead and
wounded from the wreck of the Pullman
cars. They We're brought to this city on the
portion of the passenger train which was
not wrecked.
Conductor Wall died at the scene of the
accident. Higgins died on his way to
Bellevue and Frye died at the sanitarium
this morning. The load, where the collision
occurred, runs through q swamp and the
bank is 10 or 10 feet above the ground, a
| Water swale being on each side. Many pas
sengers in the forward coaches, who were
awake, had jumped out and waded into the
swamp to save themselves. There were 15C
passengers on the train.
Justic Briggs will hold an inquest. The
prosecuting attorney Of Eaton county, in
whose district the accident occurred, has
been summoned to be present, The porter
of the sleeper Quebec, the one nearest the
train, might have escape d, but attempted tC
! save the other passengers.

New Orleans Picayune.J

tNew Orleans Picayune.l
On Sunday party, composed mainly of
railroad officials and contractors interested
in the building of the New Orleans and
Northeastern railroad. took trip across
Lake Pontehartran for the purpose of ex-
amining the great trestlework now in course
of construction. The entire length of the
trrstlework when completed will be twenty
one and half miles. This distance com
prises thirteen and half miles from Peoples
Avenue Canal to the Point, five and three
quarter miles across the lake and two aud
four -tenths miles from the north shore. All of
the piling along the southern shore, with the
exception of about one mile, has been driven
and this division will be completed by July |.
OF the piling In the lake two aud a quarter
miles have been driven and one mile of the
work is completed. The tres.le on the norlh
shore has been finished some time and the
rails are laid nine miles, or to Pearl river
The trestlework is all constructed after the
same plan, except that the crOss-tie are fur
lher apart in the approaches than in the
bridge proper and that the timber used on
the latter is all creosoted, The description
of the bridge will answer for the other
work.
This structure, which probably will be
the longest of the kind In the United States,
will also be one of the most substantial.
Experts in railroad building pronounce the
sections already finished the most perfect
specimen of trestle construction they have
seen. The piles average so feet in length
and are driven about 40 feet. In each bent
there are four piles and the bents are 3 feet
apart. The caps of the piles are IL by IA
| inches, and the stringers are 6 by Is inches
and three of them on each side laid
| on edge. The cross-ties are only four inches
apart, and on them are bolted stringers,
which act as guard rails. The ties form a
secare decking to the trestle work, upon
which the wheels of car could run without
danger of leaving the bridge on account OF
the guard rails.
The trestlework, from beginning TO end.
is one of the graudest undertakings con-
nected with railroad building in the South
Some idea of its magnitude may be formed
from the statement that the quantity o
lumber required, outside OF the piles, il
| l5,0O0,000 feet. There will be S,16l bents
of four piles each, or 32 GA piles.

The pude,s Predicament.

A New Orleans dude at the opera stood
and leisurely surveyed the immense
audience before divesting himself of his
topcoat. Perhaps it was the light weight of
the new spring garment that deceived him.
Anyhow, he inadvertently took off the
overcoat aud the undercoat together,
folded them slowly and gracefully, and laid
them over the back of his cair The
sight of the dandy in his shirt
sleeves and vest seemed TO catch the
eyes of everybody in the house ill.,
stantly, and a general giggle deepened
quickly into unanimous haw-haws. So
much of shirt bosom is exposed in the the
prevailing style of evening dress that he
naturally did not at once discover his undue
exhibition of lines and he was seated befJre
he was aware that he was the cause of all
the noise. Then his studied equanimity was
for once destroyed His struggling haste to
pull his swalow-tail coat out of the other,
and to put it on, was as comical as the rest
of his mishap.
