gift of the Russian empress is one of

a xounr Tennessee Girl Kills slxty-Three
Rattlers In One Day.
The country between Little and Big
Black mountain Is great ginseng re-
gion, and the Parker family are noted
~ ''sengers." The girls go out bare
footed in the mountain, though the
country is infested with rattlesnakes
and copperheads, and dig the ginseng,
Tor which they get good prices at the
stores, and from which 1t is taken to
Pennington Gap for shipment But
along Clover Fork and up Rattlesnake
creek are numberless reptiles, says the
big Stone (Pa.) Post.
BeclSie Parker is about nineteen years
Of age, strong, healthy looking and
handsome, but with very determined
face. She is splendid rifle shot, and
is often seen with her Winchester. She
goes after ginseng barefooted and often
alone. The roots are gathered in May
and Septem Der, and during the month
Just passed she did thriving business.
One day, however, she came across a
den of rattlcsnakcs She had only
stones and sticks with which to fight
the desperate battle. Some of the
snakes were considerably larger than a
mans ankle, and few as large as the
calf of ones leg. For hours she fought
them as they hissed and ratified around
her. The mountain seemed filled with
chem, and no sound could be heard but
their incessant and blood-curdling rat
tle. But the brave, determined girl
battled with them until she extermi-
mated every one that did not succeed in
hiding among the crevices of rocks and
In the dense brush. When she had
Crushed the head of the last one to be
seen, she counted the dead, and there
were Just siXty-three.

Chicago Saloon Men Beaten in Inn
portant License Suit.
CHICAGO, H., Jan. 26.-When the town
of Hyde Park was annexed to Chicago
there were certain districts in it in
which, under village ordinance, the
~ of liquors was prohibited. and a
ely ordinance was passed RI )gniz-
in. such districts. One of
these districts adjcin Jackson
Park, where most of the Worlds Fair
is to be held. For this reason saloon
keepers were anxious to get footing
there, and Michael J. Morrison. backed
by the distillers and brewers, brought
suit to compel the mayor to issue to
him license for saloon in the pro-
hibited district. The action was based
on the ground that making of
prohibition district covering on
w part of town or
city was unconstitutional, being dis
elimination and class legislation. Judge
Mcconnell rendered his decision in the
case this morning denying the prayer of
the petitioner for writ of mandamus

BIG FIRE AT LA CROSSE.
$7S, 200 in Building and Stock Gone Up
in Smoke.

Between and o'clock on the 21st
the large warehouse Of the Wisconsin
Lumber & Manufacturing Company at
La Crosse caught fire, and for two hours
burned with fury THAT floods of water
seemed to make but little impression
on. The structure was 260 feet long,
two and one-half stories high, sheeted
and rooted with corrugated iron,
and full of doors, sash and other wood
en- stock, all bone dry and of most in
fammable nature. There were build
ings of wood and brick adjoining, and
the Company's big planning mill was Just
across the street, but the fremen mad
little difficulty in keeping the flames
confined 50 that nothing else was IN
serious danger. The warehouse
burned out SO completely that it
it is doubtful if any part above the
foundation can be utilized in rebuilding
There was no one inside at the time ex
cept two boys at work in the glazing
room. One of them upset lantern
which exploded among the paints and
varnishes, and in a moment the room
was all in blaze. The value of the
buildings was $1,000; of the stock, $13,-
900. The damaged property was in
sured in mutual companies.

The City Cut Off from the World by
Drifts-Electric Wires Down.
New YORK, Jan. 26.-New York is
isolated this morning by the blizzard
and drifts Geographic communication
being only partially restored. The
Postal Telegraph Company is without
single wire West, and the Western
Union has but one in working order.
Large forces of men are at work
clearing the streets of fallen poles
and broken wires. By order of
the mayor all electric companies have
been obliged to suspend operations, but
not before number OF horses had been
killed by coming In contact with the
broken wires. The whole force of po-
lice and the fire department are doing
patrol duty to guard against fires, as all
the city are still down The
streets are rendered almost impossible
by the fallen poles and tangled wires.
1t is believed that the large force of re-
pair men which has been ordered here
from all directions will be able to have
communication largely restored by
evening. The weather is clear and cool
this morning.
At l O'Clock this afternoon dispatches
from the West began to arrive-the first
news d sp tnhes from the outside world
since last night The ticker service in
this city is still suspended, and
business at almost all the exchanges
is at standstill. The Cotton
and Coffee exchanges are doing
nothing. The wires at the Maritime
Exchange are all down, and the reve-
nue. cutters have been pressed into the
service between Sandy Hook and the
city.
The damage to the electrical compa-
MES of the city is estimated at S50O,OG0.
All the wires between this city and
Philadelphia are still down.

dicted for selling Frankfort lottery

facts. Judge Jackson holds that the act

licenses is void, and the tender of the
required tax of $1,000 for each of the
lotteries at the required time was in eff

OF arbitraling the strike which has

The leaders among the miners
assert positively that the only basis
upon which they will settle is the pay

they could not pay the price demanded.
As lar as could be definitely learned the
miners are strengthening rather than
weakening in the struggle, and settle
