They Saw a Monster Snake.

NEWBURG, n. V, July %
Johnny" Brown and "Alec" Mil
Ter, small boys, were walking
along the road near the house of
David Ayers, near Circleville,
Orange county, when they saw
what at distance appeared to be a
log lying across the roadway. AS
they came nearer they noticed that
the surface of the object glistened
in the sun and was beautifully
marked with brown, yellow and
white. Then it began to move.
ga snaken shrieked the boys.
Then they took to their heels. They
told their story to Ayers, who was
not surprised. He told the BOYS
that he had known for two or three
years that an immense serpent
made its home in a cave near his
place.
The snake has been seen by sew
eral persons. The boys say it was
as big around as mans body, and
that it reached clear across the
road, neither it's head nor it's tail
being visible. 1t may be anywhere
from twenty-five to fifty feet long.
A party of men is being organized
to hunt the monster.

Indianapolis National Goes Under,

lNDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July %
| The indianapolis National bank
failed to open its doors this morn
ing. President TheO. Houghey
yesterday afternoon came to the
conclusion that he should consult
some Of the officials Of other banks.
A meeting was held last night, and
Mr.. HOughey prepared a statement
in which he said that the Louis.
vile and New Albany failures had
aggregated the local situation.
Fifty thousand dollars was
borrowed from other banks.
but it failed to carry the bank fur
ther than yesterdays transactions.
1t was finally concluded that the
tide that had set in, was too strong
to stem, and it would be best for
all concerned to suspend.
The indianapolis National bank
was designated the depository of
United States. While the crowd
was clustered about the suspended
indianapolis National bank, few
were watching the doors of the
Bank of Commerce across the street.
At 9 o'clock curtains remained up
and soon, a white paper was posted
announcing that the bank would
not open today. The stringency of
the money market is the reason
given for closing. The Bank of
Commerce has not been one of
large deposits, and it's failure will
not have much. effect on the local
money market. Its indebtedness
IS said to be only about $4,000. The
caused considerable eX-
element on the streets, and at this
hour QO:3O heavy run is being
made on the Indianapolis banks.

 what pleasant thing it would be if people would make practice of using more simple language. Every little while one picks up a book or paper Tn which are articles on everyday top ics, the language of which is as stilted ana out of the common as a careful scanning of the dictionary can make it. here IS something rather absurd in the habit that many persons fall into oi using far-fetched expressions and out-of-the-way terms to describe the commonplaces of life. It does not add ID the least to the interest of subjec Il one has to look up the dictionary an' una out what half dozen words in snort article mean
 one may say that it is in so much an eoucator, but that argument scarcely noids good. Simple, short words, put together without effort and affectation, are much more pleasing to a we'll trained intelligence than the compli- ea'ed and obscure phrases so often em- poyed. Uneducated people can com prehend articles written in simple lan- suage. and the most learned professor .nnnitely prefers them. There is a great demand for simplicity and direct ness In all lines, and in nothing is this more to be desired than in the every uay literature on which we depend to great extent for information and en' 'er rtainment-N.

Cooling Down.

The excitement was somewhat abated by Wednesday, the day set for the pre- liminary examination of Loughran. The examination was held before Justice Kirk. All evidence produced on the first day went to show the pres- ence of Loughran at the depot at the time of the shooting, but as to whether he did the act seemed to be purely matter of conjecture, based upon train of circumstances, as no one was found who saw the guilty party in the act of firing the shot.
 PRO AND CON.
 The witnesses for the state united in their testimony in identifying Lough- ran as the man who jumped into his buggy and drove rapidly away a mo- ment after the shot was fired. Yet Loughran said the testimony of his witnesses when given would clearly esta blish an alibi by proving his pres- ence at his home during the hour when the deed was committed.
 For the Grand Jury.
 Hor SPRINGS, Ark, Sept 22.-The examining trial of John Loughran for the shooting of James NJ. Ramey was resumed yesterday, and at noon tho state rested. Nearly score of wit nesses testified for the state, and the evidence is practically unit in designating Loughran as the man who was in the buggy at the depot, or on the street. at the time of the shooting. After the evidence for the state was all in, counsel for the defense waived fur ther hearing until the grand jury. which meets next Monday, shall have Investigated the matter, pending which Loughran is out on bond in tho sum of 6, ,OOO. The evidence thus far taken will be submitted to the grand jury. From reports brought from the home of Ramey the indications are that the crisis of danger is past and his recovery is now considered probable.
 AN INCIDENT.
 Incident to the shooting and matters apparently leading up to 1t, the foi- lowing is vouched for by Aldermen Molen and Kennon: Wednesday Aldermen Joe Molen and George P. Kennon were sitting at table in a saloon when Loughren came in. The latter nodded recognition to the group and walked to the coun' tar and took lunch. Receiving some chance from the bartender he turned to the group at the table, and addressing Alderman Molen, who is a giant m stature and physique, and who was an aggressiye member of the council in. vestigating committee, shook the coins in his hand and said:
 Maybe this is some of that shortage money" ,,
 "Possibly it is," returned Mir. Molen:
 You are a good one," remarked Loughran. "you are a smart man-s man of brains. You are on the righs track, go ahead. That little shooting around the corner of the passenger depot was all mistake. You are oiR' broadheaded man. The next shootih8 will be for big fellow who wears seven and five-eighths hat"
 No response being made Loug n' ran walked away. The words were snolxen in Loughran's characters. tic style of manner. leaving shade OK doubt as to whether they were Jocuia1 or meant in seriousness Upon ths principle that joke is always more than half meant, the gentleman au d ressed failed to appreciate 'hs Po'A' of If.

 Can Establish an Alibi.
 HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Sept. 2o.-Ths shooting of James Ramey Monday evening promises sensational develon. ments. The following additional de- tails of the attempted assassination nave been gleaned: Mir. Ramey, w. J. Cripps and Mayor J. T. Nolte were conversing near the end of the depot when shot was fired from the dark ness lo feet away, and Mir. Ramey fell, shot through the body, the ball enter. ing the back just below the right shoulder. Five inches higher and tho bullet would have penetrated the breast of MT. Cripps in the region of the heart While Mayor Nolte gave attention to the wounded man MT. Cripps ran around the corner of the building, and says he saw ex-Mayor John Loughran in the act of hastily getting into his buggy and drive rapid. ly away
 CHARGED WITH THE CRIME
 Two hours later Loughran was ar rested, charged with the commission of the crime. There are many peculiar and sensational features incident to the affair. The shot was fired between the pickets of the guard fence, and it seems the weapon had been rested on the rail to insure accuracy of aim. It was mainly upon the hypothesis that the ball was intended for Mir. Cripps that Loughran was arrested.
 THE ALLEGED MOTIVE.
 Mir. Cripps, who is baggage-master is also a city alderman. and was one of the council investigating committee that preferred the charges of misap- propriating the city's money, and for the recovery of which suit is filed with the circuit clerk. Loughran endeav- ored to have the matter settled by arr bitration, and Mir. Cripps was uncom- promisingly opposed to the measure, and this is taken as the supposed mo- tive for the deed.

AN EXCITING SESSION.
The House Passes the Urgent Deficiency Bill
With Ten Amendments.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s0.-The house was
N an ugly frame Of mind all day. The Re-
publicans were in a fighting temper over
the Hawaiian situation when the house
met and the row opened Immediately.
Mr.. Cockran's resolution was presented
and hurriedly referred to the committee
on rules. Then came a sharp skirmish
over the Boutelle resolution.
Finally the consideration of the urgent
deficiency bill was vsumed and some
very exciting scenes were enacted before
Il was finally passed. The item appropri-
sting S200,OO0 for special examiners was
amended so as to prevent the suspension
Of any pensions without giving the PEN
sioners notice or opportunity 20 furnish
testimony in rebuttal. Ten amendments
were also adopted approprlating $3.50, 900
for extra mileage for members and sena-
tors, $4,000 for stationery and about
$4,000 to pay employees Of the house and
senate an extra months pay.
The most bitter opposition existed to
each of these propositions, the first Of
which was denominated on the floor as
proceeding whose scandalous character
had not been approached sinoe the days Of
the famous salary grab. Intense excite
ment prevailed throughout the discussion.
The highest number of votes the minority
was able to muster on any motion was 20.
Filibustering occupied a great portion Of
the time.
Representative Blair introduced the fol-
lowing resolution. "Resolved that this
house Is In favor of annexation of the
Hawaiian islands to the United States"
II was referred to the committee on
foreign affairs.
Mr.. Bretz Of Indiana introduced Q bill
for an income tax sufficient to yield an
nually an amount Of revenue equal
to that required for the payment Of pen
sions. The tax is to be levied only ON In
comes over 5000.
1t was expected that Senator Hoar
would open the ball on the presidents
Hawaiian message, but as Senator Berry
desired to speak on the elections bill the
Massachusetts senator decided to defer
his remarks. He will severely arraign
the president In his dealing with the
Hawaiian complications.
