He attempted to cross ahead of the

stopped his horse on the track. The
prompt action of the engineer in
reversing his engine, and applying the
air brakes, was all that saved him.
On Wednesday evening, Dec. 80 at
5:1O,. Mrs. Fred Upham made the
connection that set the Electric Light

ed as follows: Saw Mill, four ares,

general verdict of the light as given,
IS that it is success in every respect.

woman and child who does not possess
wealth should be a friend to silver. A

permit few rich citizens in the east to
do their thinking for them and partic-
ularly so on questions of finance.

On Friday last, Andrew j. Shores,
Sheshequin township, Pa, cut down
q very tall hollow tree on his farm.
In chopping it up after it fell he dis
covered an enormous rattlesnake
crawling out of the trunk, fifty-five
feet from the butt. The snake was
killed. AT the first stroke of the
axe afterward two other rattlers
crawled out at the same spot. They
were both killed. These three snakes
were the largest of the kind ever
known to have been killed in North
ern Pennsylvania, which upsets the
long-maintained theory that the COM
mon rattlesnake rever grows over
four feet in length. One OF the
snakes killed by Shores measured
six feet ten inches, the second six
feet eight inches, and the third FIVE
feet nine inches. They had forty
two rattles between them.

Suicide BY Drowning.

BALTIMORE, JUNE 15.--Mr. Conrad
Miller, No. $40 West Baltimore St.,
aged 63 years, jumped from Har-
mans bridge into Patapsco river
yesterday morning and was drowned.
The bridge is at the foot Of Ridgely
street, in the Southwestern part Of
the city. Mr.. Miller had met with
reverses in business and had become
very Respondent. The dependency
grew upon him and affected his mind.
Monday was the thirty-eighth ami
versary Of his arrival in this country
from Bavaria, where he was born,
and he dressed himself in his best
clothes, and told his wife that he was
going to walk back to Germany. She
could not prevail upon him to stay
at home.> He had little money with
him, with which he bought one or
two drinks. IL was said that he had
heard of the suicide of the King of
Bavaria, and that that had induced
him to end his life in a somewhat
similar manner, but his friends do
not think he was influenced by the
Kings death. They say also they
think he accidentally fell into the
river. Mr.. Miller leaves widow,
two sons and two daughters, all of
whom are married.
