WHAT KIND OF WHISKY?

A Monster Serpent In Caben Paralyzes the
Natives.
Special telegram to The Sunday Register.
HUNTINGTON, W. VA. October 2.-The
Republican to-day publishes the following
startling letter:
"MILToN, W. VA, September %.
There is place on Big Two Mile Creek
about three and a half miles east of this
place, known as ''The Buzzard Den" 1t
is large cave in the point Of ridge
which extends down between two branches
to the rock gorge which incases the creek
for nearly its whole length. This cave is
entered BY asmall doorway which extends
down an inclined plane for about twenty
feet, there opening into large rugged
room, which has not been explored.
''On last Sunday morning, as Melzar
Braley, young man of about twenty
years of age, was passing that place, en-
route to his brothers. who lives about a
mile below on the creek, he heard sheep
bleating piteouly as if in great distress
Upon going nearer he found the bleating
proceeded from the mouth of the cavern.
He approached nearer the-place, when
upon suddenly turning the corner ofa huge
bOwlder he beheld sight which sent his
blood in an arctic flood up his back, stand
ing his hair on end. He beheld the head Of
huge serpent protruding from the entrance
of the cavern, with the hind quar-
tiers of sheep in its mouth, swallowing it
gradually, while the sheep was emitting
its mournful sound. Braley being brave
young lad, thought to relieve the sheep,
so hurrying up the hill above the cavern,
he rolled huge bowlder down upon the
monster. This maddened him to such an
extent that he let the sheep go with ter
rife snort which could be heard half
mile, and rushed from the cave like huge
tree. 1t was about 40 feet long, with
large black and yellow stripes running
lengthwise its body, the head and neck
were black and sleek, and the tail forseveral
feet from the end was of dull brown
color, and extending off slim. The sudden
appearance of the monster so frightened
the lad that he rushed for home at 2:4O
gait, where he soon arrived out of breath,
and told his experience whereupon his
father, elder brother and brOther-in-law, to-
gether with two or three neighbors who had
been summoned, armed with all the fire.
arms that could be had, and started for the
place of rendezvous of the monster, prepared
to make an invasion of the enemy's cOun-
try. Upon arriving at the place, nothing
could be seen of the snake or the sheep,
but upon approaching the mouth Of the
cavern q sickening stencil met them, such
as that coming from maddened snake
and its fierce blowings and hissings could
be heard. They could do nothing with
him, so had to return to their homes. a
search will be organized tomorrow Thurs.
day, to hunt up the monster. No one
knows where he came from, as this is his
first appearance. The country for several
miles around is heavily wooded, and he
may have been around for sometime. 1t
is to be hoped he will soon be killed.
''Braley would as soon meet 4 South
Carolina earthquake rs this monster
again.
"Will report further.

Special Correspondence Of The Register.
KINGwooD, ". Va, September 30
The corn crop in this section is only about
one-half what it was last year, but some
better than was predicted month ago.
Potatoes promised early in the season an
extra crop, but, owing to heavy rains, at
least one-half of them rotted before they
were dug, yet there are good many in
this county, owing to a larger planting
this year.
The oats were the crop of the season.
More acreage were sown than usual, and
the yield is abundant, consequently what
is lost in corn is made up oats.
S. P, Mccormick will soon be a citizen
of Kingwood, to share the politiaal hOnors

To Close all Cotton Mills Unless the

PHILADELPHIA, October all the
cotton goods manufacturers of Frankford
will close their mills on Thursday next
unless the present labor difficulty at
Troth's mill, in hat place, Is settled be-
fore that day. The action was determined
upon yesterday, at meeting OF the
Aid Committee of the Philadelphia Manu-
facturers' Association and it will
stop over 1000 looms and throw near
ly 1000 hands out of employment. The
Aid Committee, which is composed Ofeight
members of the association, with ThOmat
DOlan as chairman, has had the strike as
Troth's mill under consideration for two
weeks. The members of the committee
have had several interviews with the Strik-
ers recently, and have endeavOred to com
promise the trouble, but without success.
The strikers presented their demands,
which called for the discharge of the super
intendent and all the hands now working
the reinstatement in body of all the hands
that went on strike; the starting up Of a
section of looms which were stopped
through want of orders, and per cent.
increase in their wages. The strikers re-
fuse to make any concessions, and the COM
mittee, whose decision is final ordered the
closing all the mills of Frankfort If the
strike be not settled by next Thursday.
