AT THE CRY OF SNAKES"
Sixty or seventy half-clad or unclad colore
men-young, middle aged and old-sprang
wildly out through doorways and open
windows the other night. They were members
Of Steward Smith Wormleys staff and they
were supposed to be on the verge of falling
asleep in their quarters on the upper floor of
the long kitchen building. A few candles shed
just enough light to make things look very
dim. Somebody had been telling thrilling
ghost story and the tightly strung nerves of his
hearers had not had time to relax when mis-
chievous ''cuss" threw three or four feet of
yelled Snakes" The scramble that ensued
beggars description. Most of the scared crowd
rushed for the porch and from thence swung
themselves to the ground. One man stepped
on a rotten plank and allowed one leg to go
through as far as it would. He whooped

release himself before the man-eating reptile
should have an opportunity to crawl out of the
window and chew him up. Then the man who
was the author of the joke went in and dis
covered, much TO his apparent surprise, that
the alleged snake was harmless. He impaired
this information to his fellow employees, where
upon they climbed down from the roofs of ad-
jacent mess sheds and tried to 60 to sleep.

Her Counsel Opens i'm the DunIo Di-

The Dunlo divorce case was continued YES
terday in London. Many well-known people
were present, attracted probably by the knowl-
edge that Mr.. lockwood, O. c., counsel for Lady
Dunlo, would present his clients side of the
case to the jury. Mr.. Lockwood spoke earn
estly and apparently in full sympathy with his
own remarks. He admitted in very fiowery
language that Lady Dunlo was well acquainted
with Mr.. Wertheimer, and had no doubt been
seen in his society, but that she had ever been
intimate with him in such q manner as to re-
feet upon her reputation, or that she had ever
been Mr.. Wertheimer's mistress was vigorously

John Robbins, whose injuries it was thought
would prove fatal, are still alive and may re-
cover. The other injured are out of danger.
All doubts as to the building having been
blown up with some powerful explosive were
dispelled when it was found that the ground
floor on the side of the building which showed
the greatest force of the explosion had been
blown away and there was a deep hole where
the explosion had thrown up the earth under
meath. George Maxwell, a negro cook, who
threatened revenge on Mrs. Billiard for his dis
charge, is in jail under suspicion of having
been the author of the disaster. The coroner's
investigation began yesterday afternoon and
half a dozen witnesses were examined, when
the inquest was adjourned to give the police
time TO secure further evidences of the ex-
plosion among the ruins. Direct and circum-
stantial evidence indicates that the explosion
occurred in the hail on the first floor and that
the explosive was placed there by some one
who entered and left by the front door.
