Snake Stories.

Near MonteZuma mare gave birth to q
colt that had a lump on its jaw which pre-
vented it from sucking. The lump was cut
off, and on being opened was found to con-
tain lot of small sized rattlesnakes. On
the list of snake stories this will hold the
first place for the present.
A setter dog belonging to q citizen OF
Greensburg, Pa, died recently and its
owner decided to hold post mortem to
ascertain the cause of death, and when on
the evening the dead dogs stomach was
cut, a large blacksnake was taken there
from. The reptile was dead, and when
stretched out measured exactly seven feet
in length. 1t was spotted on the head and
tail 1t is supposed that the dog swallow
ed the snake while quite young, and that
it lived and grew while in his stomach.
A dispatch, dated at Pierre, S. D., says
that about 7:30 last night clouds began
to gather, and in about ten minutes rain
began to pour, accompanied by strong

ground in various places. These were
coiled, and when they struck the ground
seemed to be somewhat stunned. The
snakes have a blush color" 1t might be

A ROMANTIC couple in Lowell, Mass,
were married on July 4th, and instead of
taking the regulation wedding trip, like
sensible people, in the cars or by steam
boat, they went skyward in balloon.
After getting as near heaven as welded
bliss and hydrogen gas could carry them
tn ey were brought to realizing sense of
earthly things by the balloon suddenly
dropping and lodging between two pine
trees. Just how to get down was
problem The bride had never climbed a
tree y her life, and it was rather difficult
M after for her to determine how she should
descend tree. The pair of ninnies and
the baloonist canvassed the situation for
some time, when the groom solved the
question by climbing out of the balloon
and sliding down the tree to terra firma.
The balloon, to some extent, lightened,
rose again and when it next descended the
bride was rescued without difficulty.

The Congressional Conference of this
district reassembled in New Castle, on

its weary way through 19i ballots without
result. but on the l95th ballot Mercer Co.
gave Mcdowell Is votes, Lawrence Co.
gave him Il, Butler Co. voted for Black,
and wher Beaver Co. was called u of her
delegates voted for Townsend and for
Mcdowell, giving Mcdowell 81 votes and
nominating him. The balance of the Bea-
yer Co. men expressed surprise at the ac-
ton Of their three associates, but they
ioined with the other delegations in max
ing the nomination unanimous, and Major
Mcdowell thanked the Convention. Mr..
Black was the next candidate called upon,
and he received regular ovation from the
large audience. Then a resolution was in
tr oduced asking the Chairman of the Co.
Committees Of the district to call their
Committees together for the purpose of
selecting delegates to a district conference,
looking toward the adoption of the popu-
lar vote system of nominating Con-
gressmen for the district. 1t was felt
by all present that the delegate system
was fiat failure, and the resolution passed
unanimously.
Our nominee, Major Alexander McDo-
well, was born and raised in Venango Co.
He was the editor of the Franklin, Pa
Citizen for several years, is married to
daughter of James Bleakley, decd, was
member of the 121st P. V, moved to Shar-
on after the war and engaged in the bank
ing business, and is now about 45 years of
age. He is one of the most popular men
in Mercer Co. and this was the fifth time
that that county had presented him for
Congressional nomination.
The Young Mems Republican club, OF
Mercer, held large and enthusiastic
meeting that evening and ratified the nom
ination of Major Mcdowell, for Congress.
The following resolutions were unani-
m ously passed: Resolved, That we sin
cerely thank our Congressional convention
of the Twenty fifth district for their wise
and judicious choice in nominating Major
Mcdowell as our nominee for Congress,
and we congratulate them upon their Sc
lection of SO able leader to represent the
vast manufacturing and industrial interest
not only of this district, but of our Com
monwealth, and we pledge to him our
steadfast and united support.
OK Monday of this week Coy. Nichols,
of Louisiana, vetoed the bill granting
charter to the infamous Louisiana Lottery
for 25 years. The Lottery offered the
bride of 81, 250, 900 year for the privilege.
The bride is SO tremendous that the
Legislature will doubtless pass the bill
over the Governors veto.
