BITTEN BY A VINEGAR ROME
Deadly Effect of a Sting of an AL

"Ost y HknOWn creature.
Tombstone "a. IT, Special to Pittsburg Dis
patch
An aged Mexican named Miguel
Delgado, living near here, was bitten
yesterday by what is locally known as
rome. and died in few hours
IN great agony. These terrible creatures,
which seem never to have come under
tine notice of naturalists, or at any rate,
have never been given name by them,
ana Which are only to be found in this
region. are small black creatures re-
seInbling very closely a crawfish or
small fresh-water crab. They are found
In low. damp places, under rocks and
stumps OF trees, and usually lie close to
the ground as if asleep or stupid.
Ihey are. however, very aggressive,
infficting bite for which no antidote
has ever been found. and which pro-
lduceS death in from three to twelve
hours. A violent fever sets in almost
immediately, the tongue swells. be-
coming intensely dry and parched; the
lips turn black, and rash resembling
IOseOla breaks out all over the body.
3The patient grows delerious toward the
end, and becomes very violent and pos
sessed of extraordinary strength.
The wound inflicted by the vinegar
rome is made by sting located under
the tail, ana is small one, like the
puncture of coarse needle, but which
leaves the flesh scared and blistered as
if the needle had been red hot. This
wound turns perfectly white after the
death of the person bitten, and gives
out smell SO offensive as to be almost
unbearable. The vinegar rome is, fort
nnately, gradually becoming extermi-
nated,as in the spring the people search
out the eggs and young and destroy

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 29.-The
investigation into the charges preferred
against Postmaster Wheat by Repre-
sentative Enloe was continued to-day,
and a large number of witnesses were
examined. The most important testi-
mony was given by William E. Bradley,
who said he was acquainted with Post
master Wheat; had never performed
any work as clerk in the house post
Office, but had been sworn in as mes
senger. Young Mr.. Wheat had come to
his house and asked him if he wanted
to make some money by being sworn in
in the place of man who was expected
in few days. This mans name was
Denney. He was simply to have his
name on the roll, Wheat doing the
work. Wheat told him he would not even
have to come to the office, and would re-
ceive S. Tor the trouble in being
sworn in. This was early in March.
AT the end of March he drew something
over sol, all of which, except S., he
turned over to Walter Wheat. Young
Wheat also got Representative Caswell
to indorse his application for place in
the government printing office. At the
end of April he was still on the rolls in
place of another man named Hall. This
time he drew S96.67. In accordance
with the wish of young Wheat. he kept
this money for a week. He then settled
with young Wheat. There was some
discussion as to what sum he should
keep. Wheat wanted to pay him s., while
he thought he should have one-half. At
this time Postmaster Wheat was pres
ent and suggested to Walter that he get
Mr.. Caswell to withdraw his indorse-
ment of witness application. The mat
ter was finally settled by his
retaining so Of the money. Fin
ally he was discharged by the
postmaster, Representative Caswell,
representing Mr.. Wheat, called the at
tentlon of the committee to the act max
ing appropriations for the house post
office and contended thatits phraSeOlogy
gave TO the postmaster the absolute
right 10 the 5000 appropriated for car
rylng the mails. j. E. Haven, an EN-
ploye IN the house pOStgifice, testified
that CulbertSon told him that he had
paid to Mr.. Wheat over 500, and that at
the time of the publication of certain
charges i'll the newspapers concerning
Mr.. Wheat, young Wheat had come to
his (CulbertSon'S) house and On his
knees had begged him to take back the
SOC ana turn it over to a third party.
Walter Wheat, the postmaster's son,
then took the stand. He testified that
he did most OF the work for which Brad
lev was paid and was entitled to the
money he received.

He Was Not a Canary Bird.

Detroit Free freSS.
They were bride and groom, and she
was guileless thing who had been
brought up in the mountains of Penn
sylvania. They had come to to Atlantic
City on their tour, and. like every body
else, took the trip down to the inlet,
from which all the sailing and fishing
boats go out. A party had just come in
with a pailful of crabs, and the old
grandfather of crabs was on top of the
lot. He was chagrined, mad, red-hot,
and he was aching to prove to the world
that crab could die fighting.
The guileless bride had never seen an
ocean crab before, and she uttered little
screams of wonder and delight. Nay,
more, she bent over and lifted old grand
father up in her plump white hand for
closer examination. His chance had
come. He took hold. In one minute
her shriekS bad assembled 500 people,
and ten seconds later she tainted dead
away and upset her husband over bait
box. A fisherman out with knife and
stabbed the crab in the back, and cut
him loose and carriage was called and
the bride with the bleeding finger was
borne sobbing away, never, no never, to
pick up an old crab again to see whether
he was butterfly or canary bird.

were again placed in his pocket, and in
due time returned to their native ele-

A few days ago, while Mr.. Brobaska
and some friends were rowing upon the
lake, the farmer spied small turtle
swimming upon the surface short dis
tsnce from them. He instantly stretched
out his hand to the uncouth voyager
and called out: ''Pete, Pete. come here,
old boy?' but the summons was not
obeyed he changed the salutation to
Pat, Patw At the pronunciation of the
magic name the little paddler stretched
out his neck, turned his head, and, as
the call was repeated. changed his
course and swan fearlessly to the boat,
where he climbed into his masters

and has again become citizen of Spo-
kane Falls. Mr.. Brobaska hopes in
time to find ''Pete" again and recover
