Captain Jim Emmons showed his boat
through the surf and started TO sea a few
days ago to fish, declares a Long Branch
correspondent to the New York World. At
about Gas O'clock in 'tiIe morning, while
anchored about half mile from shore, be-
tween Hoey's Hollywood pier ana "Tacka-
nassee' Lake, he had an experience which
leftSin impression on his mind that haunts
himsyet
Looking out toward the shore he saw
something rise out of the water. At first he
thought it was sturgeon, but it kept rising
taller and taller until he plainly saw about
twelve feet OF the head and neck of some
monster of the deep. The head was de-
cidedly snake-li like. 1t was black, the neck
just back Of the head being about the thick
ness of telegraph-pole.
The monster looked around. as if getting
its bearings, and then disappeared beneath
the water. AS it went down the body was
plainly visible. The captain watched for it
to show itself again.
a short distance off the snakes head and
neck appeared above water. This time the
neck was bent backward toward the body,
and the head was curved short, something
like swans when sailing. 1t was SWIM
ming south broadside to the heavy ground

the immense black body as it rose and fell
ON the seas. He describes il as looking like
a schooner bottom-side up.

PYTHON AND RABBIT.
The Strange Story of a Big Snakes
Fright and Death.

The Strange Story of a Big Snakes
Fright and Death.
Here is a remarkable story recently told
in the New York Tribune about famous
python i'll Paris:
One day fins white rabbit was placed in
its cage. The snake, coiled luxuriously
upon an Eastern rug, lazily lifted its head
and calmly inspected the Offering. No
sooner was the rabbit placed on the floor
of the cage than it uttered plaintiye cries,
expressive of the utmost horror and hoped
into a corner. It then stood up on its
launches in the manner of a poodle begging
to its mistress and began paving the air
with its fore legs.
Both the posture and The action were un-
natural in the rabbit, and were evidently
only caused by terror The snake advanced
slowly and cautiously, its gracefully-curved
neck thrust forward. its black, forked tongue
darling in and out of its mouth, until its
head was within a foot of the ra6bit. The
latter Geat the air still more violently. 1t was
pitjful.
The python was evidently perplexed, and
its perpleXity turned to fright. The cow
ardlce of all large serpentS is we'll known.
This one had never heard a rabbit utter such
cries, nor seen one act in such manner.
After gazing at it for few moments it
slowly withdrew toward the other side Of the
compartment, as If unable to make up its
mini to begin the attack.
AS the snake retreated the rabbit, prob
ably crazed by terror, sprang forward, and
in another instant had bitten the python in
the neck, just behind the head, its most vul-
nerable spot. The rabbit then hoped back
to tie farther extremity of the cage. The
python, so suddenly and Unexpectedly at
tackled. had not tried to defend itself, and
could not be prevailed upon again to ap-
proaeh its naturally timid foe. The latter
was taken from the cage and, in view Of its
heroic defense OF its own life, was allowed
to live in happiness according TO the ideas of
rabbits until its death from natural causes.
-Four days afterward the python died, not
the physicians said, from the immediate
effects of the bite, but from gangrene, which
developed in the wound

REDWOOD, Oct. 5.-A sensational suicide
occurred in this town this morning. Last
night Louise Esslinger was married to
George Wehrlin, and this morning she was
found dead in bed. The marriage ceremony
took place at the residence of G. Groner. the
uncle of the bride, and the wedding feast
was attended by a large number of friends
of the bride and groom. and during the fes-
tiVities none seemed happier than the bride,
who was handsome German girl, aged %
years. When the guests were departing
she appeared to grow hysterical, which was
not considered of much consequence by her
friends. AT o'clock she and her husband
went to their residence, pretty cottage re-
Gently purchased and furnished by the
groom. She refused to allow him to enter
her room, and after demonstrating in vain,
be was compelled to return to the residence
of Mr.. Groner and pass the remainder of the
NIGHT. On again entering his house at 6
o'clock th, morning he was horrified to
find his wife lying unconscious in bed. Her
wedding garments and bridal wreath were
scattered about the room in disorder A
physician was hastily summoned, but pro-
nounced life extinct
The unfortunate girl left no letter or mes
sage to tell why she wished to end her life.
On the floor near the bed was found piece
of paper crumpIed UP and in the bed were
some grains of acrystal substance, evidently
poison, the nature of which has not yet been
determined. Miss Essinger has been in
Redwood six weeks and was engaged to
Wehrlin only four weeks. 1t is said she
was anxious to have the wedding day hast
tened, but as the day approached she be-
came respondent and at times acted as
though not in her right mind.
From remarks frequently made by her it
is surmsed that former lover in Portland,
Oregon, proved false tD her, although she
declared she still loved hin. Her husband
is wel-ngh heart-Jroken. The funeral and

BALTIMORE, (Md.), Sept 2S.-The arrest
OF George l.. Wolfe on the charge of regis

from 62l South Paca street and soon after
his name had been inscribed William l..
ROSskamp presented himself One of the
Registers informed him that Mr.. Wolfe had
just been there and registered from the
same house. RosSkamp thought there must
be some mistake, as he had no lOds erS.
Thereupon Wolfe was arrested. At the
hearing before Commissioned Bond it trans
pred that Wolfe did live in Rosskamp's
house, and had taken meals with the family
for three years without the head OF the fam
lily knrwing anything about it. and during
the past year he has had room in the
Commissioner by Mrs. Rosskanp and her
niece.
The lady explained that three years ago,
when it was suggested to her husband that
Wolfe should become a boarder, he OBJ
jected, but she wanted to pay debt, so
she took him On her own Responsibility.
The funny part of the business is that the
men knew each other personally, yet
never met in the house in all that time
When Wolfe was asked how that was pos
sible, he Sad

the house before ate breakfast. We never

In the house of John Lunstrum, car
penteI in South Minneapolis, Minn., lies the
form of little invalid. His face is as pale
as death and he cannot raise his hand for
weakness. From the little body, drop by
drop, is ooZing out his life-blood and no
human means can check the flow. About
four weeks ago little Lunstrum, crippled
lad of Is, was limpiDg along the walk to-
ward his home. Two dogs were fighting in
the street. The stronger brute savage
bulldog, as the boy approached, loosened his
hold upon his canine foe and pounc d upon
the little cripple, seizing his thigh with
firm grip. When the lad was rescued from
the dog he was carried to his home with q
badly laceiated limb. The mother did not
call IL physician until three days after the
accident, by which time the boys limb was
swollen terribly and still bleeding. Now
the attending physicians say the child CAN
not live through the week. They speak of
the poor little patient as 4 " bleeder.' In
some families there is an inherited tendency
to bleed profusely at the slightest scratch,
while a more serious wound is almost in
variably fatal from loss of blood. The life
fluid does not necessarily guSh from the
wound until death ensues. Every little
artery, vein and capillary keeps weeping the
tinest drops Of blood until the system is
