A SNAKE IN A HORSES EYE.
1t Was Over Three Inches Long and Had
Head Like an Anaconda.

Fred. Graes. a Sheepshead- Bay butcher,
has q horse upon which delicate surgical
operation he's been performed. There are
few similar cases on record. says the New
York World. The horse sCme time ago
was troubled with its right eye. A film
grew over the pupil and the horse became
nervous and at times unmanageable.
DR.. William Sheppard, veterinary sur
geon, examined the eye yesterday and
found case of what ls known es snake

moved. sure enough there was little
viggler An incision was made IN
the corner of the eye next to the
nostrils and small silver hook was i'm
bedded. When the little snake got near
enough he was hooked and drawn out.
The snake was 81 inches long and not
larger than horse-hair. Its head re-

Correspondence OF the Richmond Disps'cn'l
NEW YoBK, April 22.-The discussion
aroused by the trial and conviction OF Car
lyle w. Harris on the charge of numbering
his young wife by means of poison has
served to disclose the fact that murders by
poison are becoming alarmingly frequent.
Half century ago this most cold-blooded
and deliberate method of murder was
practically unknown IN American crlmi-
nal annals. OF late years at least dozen
notable poisoning cases have been tried in
the courts Of the United States. What
means it?
The cool delberation shown by the muir
derer IN poisoning cases makes them the
most appalling in the annals of human
wickedness. Another shocking feature is
the fact that it is a crime almost wholly
confined 10 the refined and educated
classes OF society. A considerable amount

There seems to be general sentiment
throughout the State in favor of an early
convention TO nominate Democratic State
ticket. The State Committee will proba-
bly, meet soon to decide upon the time and
place. TIE RICHMOND DISPATCH tells as
what Richmond has TO offer to the assem-
bled Democracy and invites expressions or
opinion from its contemporaries. Rich
mond is doubtless q good place, but why
not Roanoke? Roanoke Is near the centre
of the State and is accessible. Our hotel
facilities are sufficient TO care for the,
crowd comfortably. The Academy or
Music, while not az large as Richmond's
largest halls, has sufficient seating capacity
to accommodate the convention ana
large number os spectators. Several large
conventions have already been held IN

care for a crowd than on any previous oc-
casiop.

Ice Gurge Disaster.

BELMONT, KY, Jan, 21.-The ice gorge
broke here Yesterday, leaving death and
destru ,tion in it's wake. The government
steamer Kirns and several barges were
caught in the ice jam and sent to the bot
tom of the river The steamer and barges
are total wreck. Three negro deck
hands, who were on the bargeS, persisted
before assistance could reach them. Ihe
Kirns was valued at $4,000 and the
barges at $1,000. The barges, were the
property of the Cairo City Coal company
The Kirns left Cairo last Sunday, with
two barges of fuel for it's fleet at Ashport,
and was obliged to wait at Belmont for
the breaking of the gorge at Hickman:
The gorge at Belmont afterward formed
and when it broke, the vessel was literally
torn To pieces.

ECHOES FROM WEST END.

received in the last few days, enough
inch pipe 10 lay another mile of water
works.
There has been standing offer by the
West End Town company 10 furnish a
school building for West End, If the
teachers are only furnished us by the
city for our large scholastic population.
The people on Cincinnati avenue are
looking for the workmen OF the Alamo
Electric line to come soon.
In few days the floating pavilion will
be re ady for dancers.
Col. HadIey tells Us that he made sever
al West End sales lately.
Our suburb is plentifully supplied with
the cards of candidates for the city elec-
ton.
If West End has any man 2l years old
and over, who has not yet secured his
registration certificate, we have not heard
OF him. but If such being exists let him
get a move on himself and be ready soon
10 do his duty as citizen and vote for an
economical business administration for
the city.
We were amused listening to two OF our
east OF the lake citizens, in front OF Mr..
Dowdel'S store. Said A to Il, Lets see.
don't" said b, when A told him 1t would
not be long before he would live on
it or near it, for, he continued,
if the city council finds out that
the best suburb Of the city has not got a
Callaghan street or avenue yet, they will
speedily give Us one, whether we want it
or not: there ought to be no objection to
| that. particularly since West End eS-
capped on the S250,000 illegal bond issue;
none of our neighborS hold any OF the
bonds, which our highest court declared
null and void. We pity the innocent
purchasers. bnt more than the pity is our
regret, that at every instance when some
| one sought judicial redress against our
imbecile city government, the city got
licked. MickeliOhn knocked it out twice:
The bawdy house licensing is thing OF
the past. the butcher tax is gone glimmer-
ing. the olefactOry organs of Mr.. Rips
are eniOined from further smelling the
city filth. the BOelhauwe contest seated
Mr.. HOefling. and now 4 of a million
bonds are declared to have been so worth
less at. the start that neither the tax
PAYERS or the city can ever redeem them.
Poor. poor city, to have tried so hard to
make one measure stick and to fail at
every point; it is strange too, for at the
head of the city was our courteous eX-
MAYOR, "whO is somewhat of lawyer"
Let us hope that the next administration
will be able to adopt measures that are
not at an eternal conflict with the courts
of the country. ..
