QUEER FINDS IN A FRUIT sToaB.
Tsrantulas, Boa Constructors and
Things Sometimes Discovered.


From The Chicago Tribune
A live tarantula in North Clark street
fruit store is attracting much attention
from passers-by, more from the trip it
made in getting to the worlds fair city than
from its rarity. 1t journeyed several thous-
and miles in bunch of bananas and is now
as lively and vicious as when at home on
the banks of the Amazon river. The taran-
tula is large one, having a body fully
three inches in diameter and with a stretch
of feelers of quite eight inches.
Il was found by an Italian laborer in a
South Water street fruit house in bunch
of bananas which formed part of fruit
cargo from Brazil The Italian had a mar
row escape from being bitten, as the huge
spider made jump at his hand while NOV
ing the bunch of bananas, which had been
his home for not less than three weeks. 1t
Is now in cracker box with glass front,
and displays its vlclousness by making
jumps from one end of the box to the other
when leased by any one.
young boa constructor measuring thirty
six inches in length was found in a banana
bunch at the same commission house two
weeks before the taranJula was discovered
The boa was lively and seemed pleased with
its transplanted lot, but a week of captivity
killed it.
we IdNS 10 NduJlOu OuT men COntiuu-
ally" said the proprietor Of the fruit house
ito keep them on the lookout for strange in
sects in handling fruit. During the time l
have been in the fruit business here my
workmen have found three boa constructors
and a half dozen tarantulas and innumer-
able specimens of land-crabs, such as are
common in tropical countries. A boy
working for me was bitten by a tarantula
four years ago, and be is now carving a
stump of an arm as a result of his own care
lessnesS. 1t was only after his arm was
amputated and he had been nursed three
months in a hospital that he overcame the
terrible poison of the tarantulas bite. The
first boa constructor found in fruit snip
ment at my warehouse was ten years ago.
1t measured nearly four feet in length and
kept it for more than year in SLATED box.
A sao ~man heard of it and gave me $50 for
it. That same snake, am told, is one of
the number now fondled by Miss Uno, the
snakecharmer with Forepaugh's circus, and
my informant was DO other than the man to
whom l sold the snake"

to-day, and some of Floyd countys officials
show up in bad light if the report is cor
rect. R. H. West was county treasurer up
to Jan. l. 1889, when his term of Office ex-
pired. The grand jury found that he was
Ia default to the county 81, $50 40; and that
he had to his credit in bank on July II,
1891, 81 $50 40 Said the report: I'VE in
struct the county commissioner of roads
aud revenues TO collect the deposit, with
per cent. Interest from Jan. l, 1889" The
examination of William Bridges, school
commissioner, showed that he should have
on hand 1918 90. Mr.. Bridges denied the
right Of the grand jury to make him produce
the money. The grand jury made the rec
ommeudation that the proper officials
examine into the matter and, if necessary,
suspend Mr.. Bridges from office. John j.
Black, the tax collector, was next taken up.
The report showed that the grand jury
could not get possession of his books except
for 1890, and that Mr. Black was in default
to the county 81 ,0O6 IS, which was credited
on July 20, 1891, with $500. For the above
default and failure to make the returns re-
qulred by law they recommended that Mr..
Black be suspended from office until full
and complete settlement is made by him.
Specialists were appointed TO examine into
the county records and todsy's report is
based on this investigation. The grand jury
report has created a sensation, and 1t is an
all-absorbing topic.
