attracted by the light of the lamp in the Office and
hew into the Office over the transom. 1t struck
against the lamp, which it shattered. leaving
the Office in darkness. The bird seemed fran
tic. flying and dashing about. and q crash Of
bottles was heard. Suddenly the girl screamed
and fell insensible to the floor. Several per-
sons rushed in, among whom were several
ladies, who cared for the insensible girl They
were terrified to find the snake wound around
one of the legs of the girl. Ali drew back
with screams except farmer named Thomas,
who seized the snake and choked il to death
The owl in its mad career had broken the
bottle which contained the snake, and it had
bitten the girl between the ankle and knee.
She was taken home Immediately and every
known antidote was applied. but without avail.
The body Of the young woman was swollen and
spotted. The owl that caused the trouble is a
large and beautiful specimen of the snowy
tribe. 1t is now in the possession of Farmer

But the auctioneer's voice again rises in gen.
tie. plaintive tones above the noise and confu-
ion: 'Well, gentlemen, if you are all through
bidding on the horse suppose we have a try at
that COW over yonder. Here. boys, trot out
that heifer. Gentlemen, that COW il warranted
to give milk. and what am l offered for her?
Make bid to start things, for you can't 90 far
without starter. Try again; now what will
You give for that large and elegant COW? Once
more. What. not bid? Then it's no sale and,
boys, you may take her back again.
The crowd of BUYERS at a sale of this sort is
made up of all sorts and conditions of men, but
most of them have about them the air Of men
''as knows hawses." Many of them carry whips
in their hands and look like cab drivers or ex-
pressmen on the lookout for bargains. They
discuss the animals quite freely, but the great
est good nature prevails and chatting is quite
the proper caper with the audience as well as
with the auctioneer.
At these sales from forty to a hundred horses
are disposed of every week. Curiously enough
it sometimes happens that the same horse APP
pears again and again before the auctioneer
for sale. Occasionally he has spruced up bit
during the interim and sells for more than he
did the time before, but it must be admitted
that a rule he shows marked depreciation
in value as time goes on and he soon gets to be
a sad relic Of departed worth"

Slowed away as 1t is among the big whole
sale stores south of the avenue. one is not
likely to stumble upon the horse bazaar unless
he is on the lookout for something in the
equine way. and then il is easy enough to find
ones way there. for nothing but horse is talked
OF or thought about in that immediate neigh
borhood- Occasionally COW gets in by acct
dent. but she is clearly ont of place, and is
sold off cheap returned to her owner.
Horses OF all sorts are there to be had. from
the more or less noble animal whose DAYS of
usefulness a car horse are gone and who is
probably on his way to some farmer. or a cart
horse who is changing owners, all the way up
to frst-rate horses. that for reason or
another must be disposed of by their owners,
who are either in hurry for their cash or who
do not care to go through the trials and delays

CASSIUS M. CLAY's HOAX,
How ~ . College Student He Diverted Travel

to the Sea Shore.
A New York Times correspondent at New
Haven gives some interesting "reminiscences
told by Capt. Elizur Thompson the venerable
keeper Of the light house at the entrance of
New Haven harbor. One Of the stories which
the captain ever delights in telling to visitors,
says the correspondent, and there are thou
sands who have heard it, is in regard to a hoax
that Cassius NJ. Clay perpetrated on the people
OF New Haven when he was a student at Yale
Clay, like a majority of the students at that
time, was fond Of spending his leisure hours at
Kemp 4 Hardy's restaurant. close to the light
house, where shore dinners and excellent LIQUORS
were dispensed. One day the proprietors of
the restaurant complained that trade was dull.
and In response the future statesman inquired
why the place was not better advertised The
discussion Of the matter resulted in Claws de-
termination TO show what could be done by
calling the attention of the public to the shore
resort.
Accordingly, on the following day, the peo-
pie OF New Haven were astonished to see in
the papers the account of a capture of an i'm
mense whale in the harbor-so large a whale
indeed, that twenty pairs of oxen were re-
CURED to haul il mp the shore at the old
hight house. The report was printed in good
faith by the papers and had all the ap-
was no lack Of visitors to the light house
then. Telephones had not been invented.
and there was no immediate way of
learning that the story was a hoax Crowds
FASTENED to the shore 10 see the captured mon
ster, and when there found nothing to do but
10 regale themselves at the restaurant Those
who returned early to the city were 10th to tell
how they had been fooled, and many Of them
related stories about the whale that went far
beyond the invention Of young Clay. 1t was
several davs before the real facts we're estah
lished and the crowds ceased to congreeate at
the light house. The restaurant men made n
small fortune and Clay thereafter had the COM

speaking, to be driven around in front of Mr..
Auctioneer. to hear their good points elabo-
rated upon and to find out in short order lust
how much Of hole in the money market their
worth is likely to make. In some cases a horse
must feel pretty cheap. for everything goes, :"
and it is the exception and not the rule to
withdraw an animal when the sum reached ia
not his real value As a result of this bargains
are frequently to be had by the knowing ones
For instance, a farmer not long ago bought a
staved-up city horse for Sill. which. with rest
and care, came around well that he was af-
terward sold at the same place for s175. Again,
young untried colt sold there for S225. or two

SINCE developed into one Of the crack trotters
Of this city and changed hands a while back for

that sort Of thing often. and their best DAYS are
over for most of the horses

Governor Beavers Appointmepta-

In the Pennsylvania senate yesterday after
noon Senator Robinson (rep.) moved that the
senate go into executive session for the purpose
of taking up the nominations sent in by the
governor. Senator Ross dem said he hoped
the senator would not press the motion. He
said the democratic minority had no intention
of antagonizing either the republicans or Gov
ernor Beaver. A precedent was established in
1887 by which no combinations were made
until after the Inauguration of the governor
The democrats simply desired to keep this
precedent. Senator Robinson then withdrew
his motion and resolution was adopted that
the governors appointments be considered on
Tuesday evening next. The nominations of
both governors will now, it is believed, be
promptly confirmed.

SLOWLY GIVING UP ARMS.
Up to Last Night Only Fifty-One Guns Had
Been Surrendered.

Up to last night fifty-one guns had been
turned in at the Pine Ridge agency out of
at least 400, which the hostiles are believed to
possess. The Cheyennes belonging to Little
Chiefs and Standing Elk's band left yesterday
for Tongue river. 1t has been decided that they
cannot live comfortably among the Sioux. Ex-
Agent Roger returned yesterday after an abb
sence Of several days.
MORE INDIANS COME IN.
About twenty Indians came into the agency
yesterday under Little Hawk, dilapidated-
looking lot, and surrendered thirty-one guns,
some Winchesters and some as old as the flood
The weapons were received in the name of
Gen. Miles and turned over to Agent Pierce
and tagged with the owners and chiefs name
for safe keeping. The delegation was as motley
a crowd OF crafty warriors as mortal ever gazed
upon. They would not hesitate to repeat the
story OF Wounded Knee. and Agent Pierce
wisely prevented all civilians from standing
around them during the surrender.
SEVERE WIND STORM.
wind storm prevailed yesterday afternoon
in the agency. raising the dust in clouds and
rendering it almost impossible to traverse the
streets. Great activity, however, prevailed.
Detachments and wagon trains for supplies ar
rived from neighboring camps. and bucks and
squaws fringed the agency fences and hung
with patience in and around the stores of the
Indian traders. The most prominent arrival
was Gen. Carr, the veteran commander of the
sixth cavalry. The regiment has done so much
jumping about from point to point for the past
seventeen years that it is likely when it leaves this
place it will return home. Several of the COM
mands now in the field are patiently awaiting
orders to return home before the severe
weather which is prophesied will be expert
enced.
The Cheyennes under Standing Elk and
Little Chief. who left yesterday morning on
their march to the Tongue River agency a dis
lance Of about 400 miles, are accompanied by
Capt. Evers. They will have no military es-
cOrt.
