The Poison of the scorpion.

No very complete analysis Of the poi
sou of the scorpion have yet been made.
The best on record are those by Jousset,
presented to the French academy in 1870.
He gives no definite statement of the
chemical constitution of the venom, but
does state the mode of its action upon
the blood, by which in severe cases it
causes death. 1t affects the red cor
puscles, paralyzing them so that they
cohere one to another, thus becoming
agglutinated until they are unable to
pass through the capillaries, and may
cause fatal obstruction. So far as known,
there is no chemical antidote which can
neutraIize the poison Chicago Herald.

A Strang Case.

ST. LOUIS, November 1.-THE evidence in
the express robbery case made public, goes
to prove that messenger rockingham was
an accessory or at least awilling victim to
the affair. The discrepancies in his state
ments to the detectives indicate that he
knows more of the manner in which the
robbery was planned and executed than he
would like to have them know. An expert
penman who was before the grand jury last
Saturday stated that the three letters signed
"Jim Cummings" were written by the same
man and ex presses his belief that that man
was rockingham and that he wrote them
before the commission of the robbery. 1t
now transpires that the messengers trunk
was shipped soon after the robbery and a
number OF sheets of paper were found COW
cred with copies of the signature of w. J.
Barrett. Manager of the Express Company.
1t is supposed that the messenger became

sented which allowed him to enter the car.

AN EXPLOSION.
Several Men, women and Chill.
dren Badly Injured.

PHILADELPHIA, November H.-An explo-
sion occurred in the cigar box mandatory
of Henry II. Sheap & Co., numbers 1905 and
17os Randolph street, this afternoon. which
blew out the rear wall, badly injuring q
number of young men, women and girls
and imperiling the lives of over one hun
dred more. The mandatory is a three
story brick structure. Just before the ex-
plosion the engineer started up steam and
then started to the Randolph street front of
the building. He states that he had been
there but few minutes when he as stat
tied by a loud noise which was followed by
the upper portion of the rear wall falling
cut and the screams of the women in the
upper story. girl, Carrie Bruner, aged
eighteen, is missing, and dozen others.
more or less injured.
The fire was gotten under control after
having destroyed the entire building.
About two hours after the fire had been ex-
tinguisned the body of Carrie Bruner, aged
30, an employe, was found buried under the
steam pipes and heavy timbers. Her death
was in all probability caused by the heavy
timbers falling OH her when the explosion
occurred. The theory OF the origin OF the
explosion is that after the engineer had
banked the fire in the engine the back draft
had blown the flames out so that they had
communicated with the sawdust in the bin
and the flames shooting upward through
the large dust fiue which was air tight, had
caused the explosion.

the corner of Polk street and Ash avenue,
from a bullet wound OF the brain inflicted

believe that said act was done with dellber-
alton and malice eaforethought and without

HE SHOULD HANG.
The murder of the young schoolgirl, Ma
mic Kelly, by Aleck Goldensop yesterday
afternoon is attracting more attention than
murders usually do. The crime Is ioosed
upon as one that was prompted by the low,

fste of the Young girl is lost sight of in the
fear that SO base creature as this young
