BACK TO AIS OLD HOME.
Edward Walkers Return After
Thirty Years.


Philadelphia Record.
After an absence Of nearly thirty
years Edward Walker, native of Man
ayunk, suddenly dropped in during the
week upon his brother, John Walker,
who resides on Ridge avenue above
Shurs' lane, Roxborough. Edward and
his b rother James, with several
companions, enlisted III 1862 in Bakers
Zouaves, and served till the end of the
civil war. After being honorably dis
charged James returned to his old home,
while Edward enlisted III cavalry reg
iment IN the regular army, where, by
frequent re-enlistmentS, he served until
several months ago.
He was then retired. and became an
inmate of the soldiers home, at Washing
ton, ID. g. He wrote occasionally to his
relatives, up to the time of the Gus
ter massacre, after which he was
not heard from. and was sup
posed to have been killed in that slaugh-
ter. He belonged to Gen. Crooks COM
mand, and in his last letter home spoke
of having received orders TO go to Gus
ter's relief. After mourning for HIM as
dead, mis- friends ceased to talk about
him, and, like others, he was forgotten.
On his arriving at Manayunk yester-
day he failed to recognize any of his old
acquaintance. Even the place had lost
its old-time appearance. He, however,
inquired If any of the Walkers
still lived in the town, and was
directed to young man by that name
who worked at the Pennsylvania rail-
road station. The young man proved
to be nephew, and the stranger was
soon on his way to Roxborough, where
he shortly after found his oldest brother
John, who was overcome with joy at the
meeting.
Edward left yesterday for Washing
happiest visits of his life. He met sew
eral of his brothers and sisters and a
few of his old associates. When he left
he assured all that he would soop repeat
the visit

Big Snake; Plucky Girl.

Greensboro On. CO Record.
Last year monster snake was seen
in the neighborhood of DonneiI's- mill,
in North Carolina, and its length was
variously estimated by several parties
who saw it at from eight to fifteen feet.
An attempt was made to kill it, but it
went into thicket OH the banks of the
creek.
Nothing more was seen of this mon
ster snake until last Friday, when Miss
Ida l.. Robinson saw cow. the prop
erty of Abner Sc hOolfeld, down and
struggling, and went to see what was
the matter.
Imagine her surprise to see coiled
around the he ok of the COW an immense
snake some four inches in diameter and
atfeast ten feet in length. The COW was
being choled to death, and the brave
girl took hold of the snake with both
hands, and, being a strong girl, she
with great difficulty got it loose, and
perhaps frightene 6i iuntil it uncoIIed
itself and ran aw ay into the thicket.
After while the COW. with aid from
the lady, got upon its feet and was
driven home.
The snake was of brown color, and
showed no signs of striking or biting,
as is common to all our native snakes.
hence it is believed to be an anaconda
which has made its escape from some
menagerie.

THAT WAS A POKER GAME
One Player Had the Strongest
Kind of Backing.

-
"The luckiest man in poker game"

from Illinois. He was backed in jack

nice little game of 81 limit. There is
often smgrt pile of money in g limit.
Around the hotel table were four of us,
and this was the only congressman who
had sand enough and money enough to

well, it was getting Oh toward 2
O'Clock in the morning, and we had a
lovely pot and every body stayed in.
The pot was opened on four deuces and
the man stood pat. This was this same
congressman. There was nothing less
than good pair out, and everybody
seemed to have improved his hand on
the draw. The betting was lively. Just
then servant rushed in and said there
was call of the house and the sergeant

down, finding the doors open every
where.
1t must have been after IL O'Clock
when heard one of the boys speak of
the cold. The month was October, and
although the night was cool, no one
accustomed to Canadian winter would
have called it even chilly. Not only
that, but we had big fire in the open
fireplace, so large one, in fact, that
we had been forced to move away
from it.
While we were talking we heard the
sound of footsteps in the hall. There
were no carpets, and the noise was dis
tlnct, coming through the open door.
We had rejecting lanterns with US, and
we crowded to the doorway to see who
1t was that had come to join US. l
distinctly remember thinking it was
some one of the college boys who had
made up his mind to share our watch.
But when we looked out into the hall
with the light of the lanterns turned on
the bare boards, there was
No One There.
1t is beyond a question that no woman
was in sight. Yet. as we looked, we
heard woman's steps coming toward
US, and we heard the swish of her dress
as it dragged.
IL needed but glance at the startled
faces OF Charlie and Jack to tell me
they heard what | heard. AS the thing,
whatever it was, came toward us we
drew back, while it turned and went up
the stairs. We remained where we
were. listening. The footsteps mounted
the stairs, and then we heard them
overhead, moving through all the rooms,
now fainter, now louder. AT last they
came back and moved down the stairs,
and with them came, it seemed to me,
the same feeling of cold. They passed
into the room where we were and moved
back into the room in the rear. They
sounded exactly like the movements Of
person who is looking for something.
At one time l thought heard something
like signs, but as the others did not hear
this think l must have been mistaken.
The footsteps and the swish of the
dress came tOword US and went away.
Up and down the hall they went, for L
should think, half on hour, and then as
suddenly as they began they ceased.
With them went the cold, nor did we
feel this again that night We saw
nothing, but we all three heard the
steps and the dress as plainly as l now
hear passing train on the elevated
road. We never found out the cause of
the sounds-in fact, we were not anx-
ious to go back to the house-and we
never heard any story which would
account tor them. They remain one of
the unexplained things that have hap
pened TO me.

AOueen,s Last DAYS.

Ex-Queen Isabella is dying hard. Just
now she is at Carlsbad taking the waters
and sleeping her withered old form in
mineral and mud baths. She affects
the style of Louis XII. in dress, with
all the brilliancy and delicacy of color
belonging to that period, yelling her
well-seamed face with white en-
brOidered lace. She is one of the best
read women in Europe, and something
OF Il humorist. Lately she has lost the
faculty of sleep. and TO pass the night
has her secretary called to read to her.
Soincessant and unreasonable are these
literary demands that she is constantly
advertising for companion.

CAPTAIN WHO sMUGGLED.
He and His Wife Brought Stacks
of Goods Over Free Every Trip.

of Goods Over Free Every Trip.
Philadelphia Telegraph.
The largest seizure of smuggled goods
made by the customs officers Of New
Orleans for five years, dispatch from
that city says, was completed yesterday.
The French steamship Marseilles, of
the French Transportation company, is
one of the largest vessels that plies be-
tween Bordeaux and New Orleans. Her
captain is Henry Mollier. whose wife
lives in New Orleans, keeping mil
linery store OH BOudOn street.
The vessel arrived in port Wednesday
afternoon with large number of immi-
grants and big general cargo. Among
the passengers was Capt. Mollier's wife,
and her trunks were thoroughly
searched by inspectresses, but moth
ing cOntraband was found. Yester-
day, however, the collector received
information that large amount of fine
porcelain, laces, perfnmery, ETC., had
been smuggled by Capt. Mollier and his
wife. This information was furnished
by surgeon formerly employed on the
vessel, but who was discharged at the
instance of Mrs. Mollier. Yesterday
Deputy Surveyor Gibson and force of
inspectors again searched the vessel,
and found large amount of cologne
fine soaps, valuable chinaware and
laces.
The porcelain was in sets, of which
several pieces were missing, 1t was
surmised that these had been clandes-
timely landed, and it was determined to
search the captains residence. A search
warrant was obtained, and the place
thoroughly ransacked. The house was
abundantly furnished with wardrobes,
three or four being IN each room. Al II these
contained goods which had never paid
duty. The quantity of the struggled
matter found, showed that the offense
had extended over long period, and it
was subsequently learned that on each
voyage Capt. Mollier brought in quanti-
ties of goods which he managed to
Smuggie ashore, most often under the
voluminous folds of his wife's skirts.
Among the goods seized by customs
officers were several baskets of cham
payne. several dozen bottles of cordials
and fancy liquors, four or five sets of
Sevres porcelain, a number of cu.-glass
ornaments, several sets of silverware.
twenty-four elaborate silk cor
sets, seventy-two dozen sets of
dress whalebones and many rolls
of laces, besides fine soap in
large quantities The whole seizure is
valued at several thousands of dollars.
To-day affidavits will be made charging
Capt. and Mrs. Mollier with smuggling.
and they will be arrested. The penalty
for the offense is not more than $4,000
fine and not more than two years i'm
prisonment, coupled with confscation
of the DDS seized.

PENNSYLVANIA CATTLE DYING
A Strange Disease Breaks Out
Among the Boyines.

HUNTINGDON. Pa, Sept. 20.-A pc
culiar and thus far unidentified disease
is playing havoc with the cattle in
this and adjoining counties, and in near
ly every instance has proved fatal. The
disease manifested itself two weeks ago,
and already hundreds of cattle have
persisted. When attacked the animals
head falls helplessly, and its legs seem
unable to bear the weight of the body.
1t is believed that the disease is a form
of Texas splenic fever, and was brought
here by Southern cattle. The state
board of health will be appealed to to
devise means for graduating the dis
ease.

ness. The present prosperity Of Switzer-
land is based almost entirely upon the sim
gular faculty which that people have for en-
tertaining guests. They are race of nat
ural landlords.
Aside from the advantages presented by
good roads, 1t Is also necessary for Vermont
to re-stock her trout streams and furnish
some amusement for those who like the
woods and waters. This can not be done
by selling the streams to some local poacher
who will keep them clean and sell the
product at the nearest market. A pound OF
fish to be caught by summer visitors in the
streams is worth more than twenty pounds
marketed at the nearest village. This is
the industry that would urge in Vermont.
1t is the one for which the state is best
adapted, and 1t is the only one that can fur
nish home market for the products Of the
state under its present circumstances.
These are valuable suggestions. The
summer visitor may unquestionably be
made an important factor in the work
Of rehabilitating Vermont. He is, how
ever, only one factor. Many agencies
combined must be enlisted to complete
regeneration and establish it through.
out the length and breadth of the state.
