Chicago dispatch, October 31st: H. &.
Spafford, an old resident of Chicago, who
announced himself as the second Mes
siah, died in the city of Jersalem on Sep
tember 25th. He had gone there to con-
vert all Hebrews to Christianity. Mr..
Spafford was one Of the best known citi-
zens of Chicago at one time. He was a
successful lawyer and in 1859 was the
professor Of medical jurisprudence in the
Chicago medical college. He acquired
wealth in his profession. but the great
fire of 1871 made him comparatively
moor. In addition to his loss he had a
more serious one about the same time
His wife and children had been i'll
Europe, and took passage home Oh the
Villa de Havrc. The vessel was wreck
ed on the voyage, and among the drown

to weaken his mind, and in 1880 he went
to Jerusalem with twelve disciples, five
of whom have since died.

What the Papers of the East Will Say.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-The Post to-
morrow will say: The president takes
the result calmly and philosophically.
He talked quite freely about the returns
and the increased republican vote, but
expressed not the slightest regret in the
world at any action he had taken during
his administration. He is willing to ad-
nit that his position on the tariff and the
decided stand he took in favor of revenue
reduction may have lost him good
many votes; but he still maintains if it
were to be done over again he would fol-
low the dictates of his convictions. The
president received no telegrams from the
national democratic committee until late
this afternoon. From what he has heard,
however, he comedies he is defeated.
tie attributes his defeat to no one in par.
tlcular, and says that Hill and Tammany
hall treated him with perfect fairness,
and he has no fault to find at all.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-The World says:

sin for the latest returns. He SAYS: The
national committee does not concede New
York to the republicans. No returns
have been received to show anything
more than that the state is close. Con-
necticut and Indiana have been won.
California is very favorable to the demo-
Gratis.
Several inquiries have been sent to the
republican national committee inquiring
as to the correctness Of the report ac-
credited to Senator German, alleging the
discovery of errors in the returns from
Kings county which, when corrected,
will give New York state to the demo-
Gratis. Col. Dudley at 4 p. M. sent the
following to Gen. Harrison: Positively
nothing in it. Our people are guarding
the returns from Kings county and other
precincts and counties with absolute
vigilance. Fraud is barely possible, but
will not be permitted, if the most perfect
watch by honest, brave men can prevent
it. The state is now ours. The latest re-
turns are sure to give you $4,000. If any
change, it will be more.
The times says the democrats will have
a majority in the Fifty-irst congress
somewhat larger than in the Fifticth.
The result of the election in Kings
county was surprise to the leaders, who
expected $4,000 plurality for Cleveland.
The shrinkage is accounted for by the
mugwumps and prohibitionists to the re-
publican party. The majority will not
exceed $4,000 in Kings county.
Senator Quay, chairman of the repub-
lican national committee, authorizes the
following statement: "The republicans
on Tuesday carried by increased majori-
ties all the states that were carried for
Blaine in 1884 and in addition have New
York by plurality Of $4,000 and Indiana
by from 1900 to 5000. West Virginia is
in doubt. General Harrison's election is
assured"

The Hoop Snake Question.


Most people have heard ofa hoop
snake, but few persons have seen one.
0. r. Mason, of the United States
National Museum. in writing to the
Washington Star, emphatically and
fatty denies that such creature ex-
lists in the world, in order to open q
controversy on the subject and elicit
Information. Now Conductor Andy
Kirk, ofthe Pittsburg division, Penn
sylvania Railroad, atiirms most posi-
lively that he has not only seen but
had an adventure with one in War
rem County, Illinois, during his resi-
dence there. He says he was in the
woods one day picking blackberries,
and having heard of hoop snake he
observed enc rapidly rolling toward
him. He stepped aside; the snake
glided past and stuck its tail into a
white oak tree which was two feet in
diameter. The reptile, having SO.
curely fastened itself, whipped itself
on either side of the tree until it was
dead. He proceeded to the house OF
his employer, and with ar axe they
returned and cut out the tail. In
five weeks every leaf of the tree was
dead. The tail of the serpent was
armed with horn-like appendage,
about one inch and three-quarters in
length, hollow and filled with poison
Gus matter, and sharp like needle
at the point. The creature he de
scribes as dark green in color on the
back and sides, and the belly as
white as snow. In rolling it grasps
this horn appendage in its mouth,
turning its belly out. He remembers
hearing his father say he saw two OF
them in bis time, and his Illinois en-
ployer three. After this well anthem
ticated version Of the existence Of a
hoop snake, Mr.. Mason will have to
take to the woods or modify his
sweeping denial.

'Do not distress yourself" he said gravely,
recovering his self possession. Was this his
first visit of coincidence, and so soona
st was about Miss Bertha" Then she
caught her breath and went on as if she were
afraid he would interrupt her, he started so
violently. 81 know what lover you are--if
mine had only been like YOU" she dropped
her eyes and went on without looking at him,
''but the girl you liked so much that you
were blind to how mean she was, she never
loved you; she never cared anything 70
you"
Philip had moved uneasily in his chair -
she began, but now he sat still as death, wi IN
his eyes fixed, as if in some fatal charm, on
the girls face. She grew pale as she talked,
all but one bright spot in either cheek
81 could tell it when your name was spoken
before her; women notice things like that
and when she expected you-and when she
expected the other"
His eyes fell in shame. He wished a noun
tain might fall on him TO shield his hurt face
from even this poor girls scrutiny. But she
hurried ON as if she took pleasure in his vino
ing nerves. "If you could have seen how her
face warmed at his coming, and her voice, so
cold TO you, shook and stumbled when she
welcomed him And how her hands would
nestle like kitten in his--at a look. You
never saw her like that, did you2 And there
was no pillow so soft, you would think, as his
shoulder, and"--
81 cannot stand this he cried, starting TO
his feet. "Do you think l am made of

Her eyes were all ablaze with hate, but
Philip hung on the scornful lips as il it were

"But she did not get over it," he faltered
when she stopped. lie raised his hands to
cool his beating temples; his fingers were cold
as ice,
'That is il; it lasted longer than counted
on. I thought she'd come to her senses be
fore she could do anything rash. And then
