JAMES O'GRADY'S SNAKE.
1t is Creating a Lively Revolution In His
Stomach.

1t is Creating a Lively Revolution In His
Stomach.
james O'Grady. Of Syracuse, n. Y. has
been i'll for several weeks and his case has
baffied the skill OF several physicians until
a few days ago. O'Grady complained of
very severe pains in his stomach and ap-
parent writhing about of something with
much life. He gave mp work about seven
weeks age. OF late the lively foreign crea-
ture has seemed determined to escape by
the way OF MS mouth, OGrady says.
1t is believed hat a snake inhabits
O'Grady's stomach. and he thinks that he
swallowed it while drinking from q brook a
few months ago. He says that the motions
inside of his stomach are exactly like those
of a reptile, which he knows is increasing
in size. He cannot like down to sleep, he
says. for the snake comes up and choke,
him. A few days & OGrady drank SOM
port wine, and Immediately the snake, as
it is believed to be, appeared at his throat
Thu same experience has been encountered
every time he has taken the wine.
Experiments have been made by the phy.
siciaEs to remove the snake by means o.
OGrady's throat. His wife persists tha1
| she once saw the head of the snake in he
husbands throat and tried to coax it GU
with some water and a glass of the wine
OGrady has become very weak and cal
live but a few DAYS at the most. II il saiC
that a post mortem examination will bs
made. when it can be determined wha'
has been making such r comrnotion in Mr.
OGrady's stomach.

business than the present elevated roads,
which are capitalized at $780, o3 600. The
time for construction estimated IS we and
a half years from the Battery to the upper
end of Central park.
A rapid transit scheme for New York,
suggested by Mr.. David III. King, has co!os.
sal proportions, as far AZ the money re-
qniied is concerned. Mr.. King. however,
thinks nothing is expensive that will pay
FIVE Per cent. on it's bonded indebtedness.
He proposes an arched masonry viaduct.
Fifty feet or more high and one hundred
fest vide, inside the house line of streets
bounding the entire water front of Manhat-
tan Island. For the central line he would
acquire a strip seventy-five feet wide
through blocks. and on this build r de-
pressed four or six track road. He would
expect to rent the arches for warehouses.
and line the depressed road with shops and
arcades.
