Butler was one of the most prominent and
heretofore res pected colored citizens of
Lawrence county. He and his son William
were arrested for procuring an operation
upon the person of Ida Elkins, a young
white girl not yet Is years old.
The time for preliminary examination
was set. but the old man, who has for
twenty-five Years been looked upon as q

with the girl for a year past.
There Is still feeling, however in Law

Part of SHOWS Head Blown of.
BITTEN BY A RATTLESNAKE.
a Pretty Snake Charmer Who VIII Proba-
bly, Die of the Wound.

NEW YORK, July IDIOT Sonwell, the
pretty snake charmer who has lately been
performing at Huber's museum on East
Fourteenth street, will probable die from
the bite of fve-foot rattlesnake, which
she received on the stage of that place of
amusement. The woman was bitten on
the head behind the left ear and the poi
son which the venomous reptile instilled
into her. system had so speedy an effect
that her life was despaired of within two
hours, although every effort was made to
destroy its effect. At St. lNincent's hospi-
tai whittier she was taken, the doctors
pronounced the case almost hopeless.
About three weeks ago Mrs. Sonwell,
who is but - years old, was bitten on the
arm by one OF the snakes which she was
handling before the audience, but by the
prompt use of whisky and bandages her
life was saved, and it was at her first ap-
pearance since this experience that she re-
ceived this second wound. She had been
out of the hospital for only few days,
and looked pale and weak Fifteen min
utes before the time for her to go on she
took her box of reptiles out. Among them
were three diamond-back rattlers that had
just been sent TO her from Florida. She
saw them then for the first time, and pro-
ceeded to pick them up. One of them, a
big five-foot specimen, she held aloft.
As she held the snake above her the rep
tile suddenly turned its head toward her.
In an instant she dropped it in the box and
appeared dazed. She had been bitten, the
snake having struck her behind the left
ear with its fangs. Superintendent Jansen
saw what had happened in a moment and
ran to her aid. One of the actors connected
with the museum tried to suck the blood
from the wound, but could not get at the
wound, which was under the hair. In her
previous experience two Bolivian Indians
had drawn out the venom with their
mouths. Whisky was administered to her
in large quantities, but the poison worked
rapidly and she fell twice in a swoon A
carriage was called and she was sent to
her home, 75 Washington square, South.
There Dr. g. N. Baker, 143 West Fourth
street, was summoned. He could do but
little for her. for her head, face, and neck
began to swell. She was then taken to the
hospital. At that time she was crazy with
delirium, and she soon became insensibIe
The doctors thought she would die from
the effects of the poison. Her head
face and neck Were swollen to a great ex-
tent, even her eyes being closed. Mrs.
Sonwell, whose maiden name was Mar
guerite Smith was married several years
ago to John Sonwell, also a snake charner
She has four children, the eldest being four
years old.

COMET DEVELOPS A TAIL.

And People Think the Aurora Borealis
Has Opened Up.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-At 1890 p. IN.
Saturday the comet which is now the OBJ
jeot of so much search and speculation
suddenly developed an enormous TAIL
which to the Impractical eye was taken to
be display of the aurora b6realis At
that hour Professor Frisby, of the naval
observatory, was studying the comet
through the nine-inch glass. He noticed
a long streak of greenishwhite light shoot
out from the comet and extend itself al
most to the zenith. At first, the nucleus
of the comet being at that moment hidden
by fieecy cloud, it was thought that the
aurora borea is had sent out an advance
notice of brilliant engagement, but as
there was no flickering, and as the light
came steadily from where the comet had
last been seen the professor concluded that
he was seeing comet in process of devel
opment.
The tail of the comet was thirt- degrees
in length, distance about sixty times as
long as the moon is wide, and extended
from ten degrees above the horizon almost
to the zenith. 1t was plainly visible to
the naked eye. and was watched for some
time by the corps of observers at the in
stitutiOn. Professor Fr.sby said: There
Is no way to explain the sudden freak of
the comet. They are erratic bodies at
best and the only thing to say is that this
one had reach ed a stage where it was ready
TO throw ont the long streak of luminous
gas which we call a tail 1t was not a
bushy tail, but was a long ribbon of light
about three times as wide as the moon.'

NEW YORK, July 17.-Colonel B.anton
Duncan, who, though still a citizen of Ken
tucky, has for six or seven years spent
much time in California, is throwing him
self with all his energy into the fight in
favor of silver. A reporter found him and
Senator JONES' of Nevada, at the New York
club. Colonel Duncan, when asked about
the outlook for silver, expressed the fullest
confidence that the silver men and the
Democrats in the senate would control en-
tirely all action upon the financial ques-
tions.
The senate" he went on, has already
forty-five pronounced advocate of the repeal
of the Sherman law only with conditions
of relief This includes Senator Chandler,
and the senator from California will make
forty-six The list is as follows, several
senators not being in it who are expected
to bring the total to fifty-one: Allen of
Nebraska, Bate, Beckwith, Berry, Black
bussp, Caffery, Call, Car, Chandler Cock
ref, Coke Daniel, Dubois, George, Cor
don, Harris, Hansbrough, Hill, Hunton,

The silver men do not propose to de-
mand action only in regard to silver, but
to join hands with Democrats who will in
sist upon obedience to the mandate Of the
Chicago platform. Whether the relief
may come from free coinage or the issue of
gteenbacks, or both, it viii be perfectly
satisfactory to them. The repeal of the
tax on state banks can be made of great
benefit, after proper safeguards have been
enacted to prevent any instability, and
