RALEIGH, N. c., Sept. 19-The drought
In the southeastern part of the state has
caused some of the swamps to become
almost dry, particularly in Brunswick
county, and the monster rattlesnakes pecul-
lar to that section have crawled all through
the neighborhood.
They have bitten and killed a white
woman and three negro men. and have
also killed scores Of horses, mules and cattle
as we'll as great numbers of dogs.
The snakes crawl into or under houses,
and cattle are now kept in pens to protect
them
Many persons, thoroughly frightened,
have moved away from the vicinity of
Smiths swamp, near Waccaman river.
Rafting can be heard there at all times
and immense ssrpents are killed in the
roads, some over six feet long and three
inches thick.
Mrs. Morris, the white woman killed,
heard a noise in her room at night, got up
to see what caused it and was bitten as soon
as she stepped on the floor. Death ensued
In three hours
Such q plague Of snakes was never before
known in this state.

OVERFLOW FEARED.

Steady Rains Causing Rapid Rise In the
Mississippi and Tributaries.
MEMPHIS, April %. The alarm that
there will be an overflow of the Missis-
sippi from Cairo to New Orleans is
spread from Helena, Ark, between
which city and Memphis on the ,Arkan-
sas side is the weakest portion of the
river. 1t has been raining constantly
in West Tennessee, North Mississippi
and Arkansas for the last twenty-four
hours with little prospect for better
weather. The water is at the danger
line near Helena and little below it at
this city. The Ohio is rising at Evans
vile, Louisville, Cincinnati and Pittsburg
and along the entire river rain is re-
ported. A rise of another foot would do
incalculable damage to plantations from
Memphis to New Orleans on which cot
ton and corn are growing and which a
rise for a few days would ruin.

CHICAGO, April 22.--When John r.
Tanner and several friends concluded a
conference Mr.. Tanner announced he
would decline the Office of sub-treasurer
of the United States at Chicago, to
which he has been appointed, if in event
of such action the president will name
s. B. Raymond for the Office. Mr.. Tan
ner was notified of his appointment
Wednesday and was placed in rather
embarrassing position under the cir
cumstances, as he had already declined
the appointment when urged by Senator
Cullom to accept it, and had written
and telegraphed to the senator urging
Mr.. Raymond's appointment. There
will be conference of the Republican
leaders of the county on the subject.

and shops are soaked in water five feet
deep. Up to noon the rain had poured
besides showers during the previous
thirty-six hours. The water rose at the
rate of eighteen inches per hour. The
suddenness of the food prevented the
release of animals from the stables and
pens. Thousands of dollars worth were
lost, though no human lives are sacri-
feed. The upper bridges are gone.

the name OF one of the dead men is be-
