that all three are in the hospital with
fatal wounds. The three men were
sent from Louisville, Their names are
Eli Lucas. serving a life sentence for
murder; William Bellmeyer, serving
fifteen years, and William johnson,
serving twenty-one years There has
been some bad feeling existing between
Lucas and Bellmeyer, and yesterday
morning Bellmeyer made rush at Lu-
cas-, who drew knife and made a
sweeping cut across Bellmeyer's abdo-
men.
johnson interfered and brick thrown
by one of the others struck him on the
head. Bellmeyer then knocked Lucas
down and stamped him about the face
and breast. At this juncture the guards
arrived and put an end to the ARRAY.
Bellmeyer's wound is very deep and he
will die. Lucas is in such an unrecog-
nizable and bruised condition that 1t Is
difficult TO ascertain the extent OF his
wounds. Johnson's skull was cracked.

Tolls the World What Ho Knows About
Copperhead Snakes.
A veracious lawyer relates his expert
ence to the Kingston Freeman in these
words: ~ have had an antipathy to cop
perheads since was q boy and saw this
kind of snake at Marbletown. 1t is
a sneaking, mean snake There was q
path the men used near the house where
/ lived, and the copperheads would lie
along the path in the sun and strike
their poisonous fangs at whoever came
near them. One man was bitten through
the clothing, and his leg swelled as big
as keg and became blue as indigo.
He narrowly escaped with his life, not
withstanding the fact that most Of the
poison was absorbed by the clothing
and did not reach the wound. Each
year thereafter, at the date when the
man was bitten, his leg would become
spotted and swell and break out just as
though he had been bitten again"
One of the safeguards used by farm
hands when at work in hay or grain on
ground infested by these reptiles is to
bind twisted bands of hay around their
legs. The snakes jump up and strike
their fangs In the hay without reaching
the flesh. There is legend Of one
chap in Wawarsing, famous asa mower
with scythe, to the effect that he car
ried on his legs three copperheads half
way across field while moving The
snakes In striking at the man became
fastened in the haybands and dangled
from his calves, to the terror OF his fell
low workers who saw him. When In
formed Of his danger he said that was
nothing. He was acquainted with the
snakes. To prove II he bet gallon OF
whisky he could show them a dozen
copperheads in less than three minutes.
The bet was taken. He drew from his
pocket whistle, blew shrill blast, and
all over the fields the heads OF copper
heads could be seen above the grass al
they raised on their tails TO ascertain
the meaning of the unwonted sound
The bet was paid, and the man dranl

Breaking n Chair In Pieces to Secure
y Oncial Recognition.
A good many years ago, says writer
In the London Speaker, certain 5oung
clerk who had been fortunate enough
to secure stool In one Of the great pub
lie Offices Of her majesty the queen, was
startled out of his sense of propriety by
a spectacle which he witnessed In the
official apartment In which be was serv-
ing the state. He has grown gray since
then in the public service, and honors
have accumulated upon him; but to this
day he remembers with something lilfe
thrill of horror the astounding scene
which In his verdant youth first opened
his eyes to the realities of the civil
service. This was what he beheld. An
elderly gentleman, who was one of the
senior clerks in the room In which
our young friend was the junior, sud-
denly rose from his desk, dragged the
comfortable chair upon which he had
been sitting into the middle Of the room,
seized poker, and, attacking the chair
with vigor worthy Of an able-bodied
Englishman, succeeded in breaking one
Of its legs.
The chair was in excellent condition,
so the task was not an easy one. When
It was accomplished, the senior clerk
gave sigh of relief and, fiinging the
chair into corner Of the room, re-
turned calmly to his desk and his pen.
Our young friends first idea was that
Mr.. X. had suddenly taken leave Of his
senses, and he had expected at the first
moment OF bis attack upon the chair
that his colleagues would forthwith put
some restraint ue Il him. But, to his
amazement, the other clerks in the
room hardly raised their eyes from
their desks whilst the work of destruc-
ton was in progress. IL was clear thrt
they understood all about It, and were
by no means moved by the performance
OF their chief, That afternoon, when
the office work was at an end, our raw
youth timidly approached one az his
fellow-clerks and questioned him. "Can
you tell me-" lie asked, "why Mr.. X. be.
haved in that extraordinary way this
morning; mean when he deliberately
broke a perfectly sound leg of the
chair in which he had been sitting"
'0h," replied the other with shrug
Of the shoulders, "that was all right. A
castor had come off one Of the legs Of
his chair, and you know, my lords
won't provide new castors; they viii at
tend to nothing less than broken leg
So X. had to break leg In order 10 gel
