An Effort TO Capture BiT snake BY the

An Effort 10 Capture Bic Snake by the
Aid Of an Elephant
II was during the cold weather, when
snakes are partly or wholly torpid. that
this adventure happened; had Il been IN
the hot weather, when snakes arc lively,
the story might have had q different
ending.
General Macintyrc and his party went

tail end protruding from the hole. They
let il alone OF first, thinking that, when
the sun shone. il might come forth 10
bask ia its warmth. I'm this, however,
they were disappointed, for on the fol-
lowing day the snake was not TO be seen;
but, ON closer examination, the tail was
found sticking out as before. Various
efforts were made 10 dislodge IL. "A fro

earth was even scrapcd away and the
hole widened. when they could see the
coils of the monster as thick as a mans

were occasionally interrupted by the

which had such an electrical effect on

but then the shot must have torn and
disfigured its beautiful skin. which the
general wished 20 secure uninjurcd as q

A bright idea now struck the party
they might draw the snake ont with the

RAN INTO A SLIDE.

A Passenger Train Wrecked Below Beaver,
Injuring the Engineer and Fireman
Travellers Shaken Up but None seri-
ously Hurt-How 1t Ali Occurred.
Passenger train No. Al, which left this
city at 1905 o'clock yesterday morning, ran
into landslide at Vanport, below Beaver,
and was badly wrecked. The engineer and
fireman were both severely injured, and
other of the train hands sustained more or
less injury. No passengers were hurt be-
yond few bruises and general shaking up.
Accounts regarding the nature OF the mis-
hap differ. The official report received at
the general superintendent's Office here has
it that the train ran into landslide, over
turning the engine and baggage car but,
though derailing the rest of the train, leav-
ing them standing on the track. The en-
gineer, George Leibtag, of Wellsville, O.,
and the fireman, W. II. Brown, of Allie
gheny, were injured. No other train hands
nor any passengers were reported as injured.
Another account has it that large tree
was precipitated onto the track by the land
slide, and the train, running into it, was
hurled about in all directions, the cars
being thrown down the embankment, while
the engine was mbedded in the bank. 1t
is improbable that the train was so badly
wrecked, as were it SO, many more people
must have been injured. Fireman Brown is
at the West Penn Hospital and very badly
burned. The doctors could not say yester-
day whether he would recover. Engineer
Leibtag was conveyed to his home, suffer-
ing with a broken leg. The passengers
were transferred at Beaver and sent West

DUMB BRUTES SUFFER.
Humane Agents Tell q STORY of Revolving
Scenes in the Hardscrabble Mines at
Brady-Horses and Mules Covered With
Sulphur Sores and Bruises.

Humane Agents Tell q STORY Of Revolving
Scenes in the Hardscrabble Mines at
Brady-Horses and Mules Covered With
Sulphur Sores and Bruises.
General Agent O'Brien and Assistant
Agent Bergman, Of the Humane Society,
yesterday returned from East Brady, Pa,
where they had beeh investigating cruelty
complaint made against the owners of the
Hardscrabble Mines, situated near that
town. The complaint made to the Humane
Society was that the mules and horses used
in the mines were subjected to the most
wanton cruelty by the people.
The result of the investigation was the
discovery OF eight mules and one horse,
which, it is said, were suffering terribly
from cruelty and neglect. The mules had
been worked in the mine where there was
much sulphur, and. not being we'll cared
for, contracted disease which covers the
body and limbs with large and painful
sores. Agent O'Brien says he was
told that a woman had been in
short time ago. She, it is said
did not have the ability to control the men
who were driving mules, and for this reason
they were neglected. Out of ten mules that
were used in the mines only two were fit for
use. One of the mules had been suffering
from large sores on its shoulder and in some
places it is said notification had set in;
another was covered by one mass of sores,
and still another, which had the hip bone
thrown out of place, had also large pieces of
flesh torn from its back by either rubbing
against the roof of the mine or having them
torn out some other way The only horse
about the place was in as bad a condition as
sotne of the mules, and had its knee broken.
The other animals were all suffering more or
less from neglect, and it is the opinion of
the Humane agents that the majority Of the
animals will die.
The mines have been closed down for
about a week, and c. F. Hsrtwell, the
superintendent, has been endeavoring tn
have the animals cured. A new stable boss
has been placed in charge and better care is
taken of the animals. The Humane agents
went to the mines with the intention of
prosecuting the persons responsible for the
condition they found the animals in, but
learning that every effort was being made
to remedy the matter, they were severely
reprimanded and told what would follow
should such cruelty occur again.
