From the Woodland q AL Democrat
1t has often been query how much candy Q
boy could eat before he was satisfied. IL Is gen.
orally supposed by most boys that they can dis

proposition was readily accepted by a fourteen
year-old lad on 4th street, Sunday afternoon,
that, ii he would eat 30 cents worth, IL would
cost him nothing, but, If he failed, he would
have to pay the half dollar. As he started ia
bravely cycling the delicious chocolate GRAMS
he remarked that he regretted not having made
the stipulation a dollar. Quite a crowd gath
cred round TO witness the spectacle. The boy
kept changing from one kind TO another, and
finally wished to take a run around the block.

the shop end disposed of about Is cents worth,
he showed signs OF having enough. He took
the half dollar out OF his pocket, put IL back
and began eating again with renewed vigor for
a few moments. After having Cdsposed Of 70
cents worth ne suddenly threw the money on
the counter and said he had all he wanted, and
before he would eat any more he would light

Mr.. Parnell Caunot Come.


THE CHICAGO CONVENTION POSTPONED IN.
DEFINITELY.
Says a dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., dated
Wednesday,: Mr.. Patrick Egan, president of the
Irish National league of America, has received
q cablegram from Hon. T. NJ. Harrington, NJ
p, secretary of the National league in Ireland,
in which Mr.. Harrington states that Mr.. Par
nell will not be able to attend the league con-
vention intended to be held in Chicago in JAM
uary next, and that he is "inclined to think it
best to postpone the convention until after the
meeting of parliament in February" 1t is
doubtless the desire of the Irish party to know
with some defniteness the probable outcome
of the present situation before making any au-
thoritative announcement OF their plans or be-
fore sending any message to their American
brothers, and 1t also seems that they regard Mr.
Parnell's constant presence on the scene Of
negotiations desirable. The convention, in ac-
cOrdance with this suggestion, is therefore,
postponed to a date to be determined upon
hereafter between the executive of the Ameri-
can league and Mr.. Parnell. Mr.. Egan will
call the national committee OF the American
league together some day in January, by
which time there may be Information from
Ireland enabling definite date to be fixed for
the convention.

Killed by the shock.


DYING AFTER REMOVING THE FRAGMENTS OF A
MAN FROM CUTTING MACHINE.
Joseph Walsh, aged fifty, a laboring man,
while looking at some machinery in the Brook
Ign sugar refinery Tuesday fell backwards into
large circular cutting machine and was liter
ally chopped to pieces. None of the employees
seemed to relish the task of removing the pieces
OF flesh, but Frederick Bird, aged forty-five,
undertook 1t and succeeded in taking the re.
mains from among the knives and carried
them out on the dock, where they were covered
with a blanket.
When Bird had finished he went back to
the sugar house, his face as pale as a sheet
and great beads OF peHpiratiOn standing out
upon his forehead. He said the sight COM
pletely unnerved him. He sat down in a
chair for q moment, and, when he arose, he
reeled and fell. He was picked up a corpse,
having died from heart disease brought on by
the shock.

From Eating Raw Ham.
CLEVELAND FAMILY OF FIVE PERSONS PROS
TRATED BY TRIcHINosIs.

TRATED BIZ IRICHINOSIS.
Trichinosis has made its appearances in Cleve.
land. For several days the members OF the
family Of George NJ. korell, prominent car
riage-maker. have complained of being i'll. The
family consists OIL Mr.. and Mrs. korell and three
children, aged ten, twelve and fourteen years.
During the past eleven days the father and
children have been eating freely of raw ham,
cut in generous slices. Last Sunday the father
was taken i'll suddenly, but he refused to call a
physician. The next day the children COM
planned Of feeling unwell but nothing serious
was believed to be the matter. Mrs. Korell had
not eaten Of the pork and consequently was not
i'll. On Monday, however, she ate Of il, and
early Wednesday morning she fell to the floor
and remained unconscious for an hour. A ply
sician was called, who at once suspected the
nature Of the malady. He took some of the
ham and examined it under a microscope and
found 1t alive with trichin@. Last night the
patients were better and the physician thinks
he can cure them. The matter has been re-
ported to the authorities and an investigation
will be made.

slight collapse took place this evening ut the
Paramount CoIliery, near Pittston, and Il wss
saved from resulting In q terrible catastrophe
only by q woman's presence of mind. The area
affected by the depression is about an acre,
and the ground settled about i've feet. The
main track Of the Lehigh and Susquehanna d.
vision OF the Philadelphia and Reading road
crossed the disturbed area and the track was
badly damaged. The freight train bound north
passed just before the collapse took place, and
the O'Clock passenger train south was due in
ten minutes. A woman, who had been 10 the
house OF q sick friend, passed up the track just
after the surface sank, and, seeing the cCndi-
ton OF the track, instantly comprehended the
frightful accident which would happen IL the
train dashed on the twisted aud distorted rails
She ran up the track, met the train about 400
yards from the spot. and, standing ON the
track, waved her arms and shouted. The en-
gineer. seeing the woman by the CLEAN OF the
head light, put ON the air brake and reversed
the engine, stopping IL within 100 yards OF The

lWOCulotlOm Win snake tsOeoOO.
The evident interest with which the public is
watching the outcome Of Pasteur's experiments
In incubation draws out instances of kindred
cases. An Episcopal clergyman of Kenwood,
ILL.,, who spent his boyhood in surinam, or
Dutch Guiana, says 1t was q common thing
there for the people to inOculate themselves
with snake poison to guard against the bites of
poisonous serpents that infested that country
The snake is caught, fastened firmly, and then
irritated until the glands are swollen with
poison, when the viper is killed and the glands
extracted. The poison Is reduced to a white
powder, which is rubbed into arm-cuts, much
as vaccine virus In smallpox incubation. The
clergyman concludes:
"a case was never known Of man diving or
even being affected by the bite of q snake in
Surinam when vaccination had been properly
performed. / remember distinctly seeing a
drayman In my fathers employ hold a deadly
snake in his hand and torment IL. The snake
would turn his head and repeatedly fasten its
fangs into the mans hand until II was covered
with blood. The drayman merely laughed and
when he got through playing with the snake
threw IL down and stamped on its head. The
poison certainly did not affect him. for I saw
him for years afterward."
