Bitten by a Tarantuia.

BUTTE, April 2s.-Harry Pressler,
driver for j. f. Kelly, the commission
man, was bitten on the hand by tar
antula while handling bunch Of ban
anas which were received from Helena.
The ugly and poisonous reptile was
found among the bananas and killed.
Pressler's hand at once became swollen,
and he lost no time in consulting ply
stefan who incised the wound, caused
it to bleed freely and administered an
antIdote. While the bite of a tarantu>
la is generally regarded as deadly it is
not believed that Mr.. Pressler will sus-
tain any serious results, although he is
verymuch frightened.

will not allow the road to lie idle much
longer. Every department can be in
complete operation from ST. Paul to the
coast within six hours after he feels dis
posed to make the concessions asked
for. 1t is said President Hill will make
an effort to import labor. 1t would only
hasten the tie-up of every trunk line

Gus. The fight was good one, al
Though 1t was apparent from the out
set that Creedon was too strong for the

with his left on the point of the jaw
Moore went down on his side, and as
the fatal ten was counted, rolled over
on his back and spread out his hands,
defeated.

BYRNEs ON CRIMINALS.

Those people who look at crinlinality from
the sentimental point of view apparently do
not realize that with hardened criminals it
becomes a business. which they pursue very
much as normal human beings pursue theirs.
Indeed, from the psychological point of
view, the criminal is most interesting
study; he is depraved, suspicious and abso-
lutely without honor; the proverb about
''honor among thieves" has no foundation in
truth 1t should be borne in mind that the
criminal class, though apparently exceed
ingly numerous, makes altogether only a
very small proportion of the total popula
ton. The more people become educated, the
fewer criminals there are. This / regard as
not necessarily because education promotes
morality, for I have known we'll educated
men, of good birth, too, who have been
thoroughly dishonest and corrupt; it is sim
ply because the more intelligent a man be-
comes the more plainly he sees the risk he
runs by committing a crime. The average
criminal is utterly reckless; he does not stop
to consider what will happen to. him if he is
caught in his law-breaking. As soon as he
does stop to consider what the consequences
of crime that he thinks of committing will
be, he shows that there are possibilities ia
him of becoming law-abiding citizen, So
it follows that one Of the best ways Of pro-
tecting community from crime is by rails
ing the standard of intelligence among its
members American Reriel0 for July.

NEW York, June 80, 1s94.-Harvey Cur
tis, who two weeks ago shot and killed Philip
Moran, while the latter was trying to kill his
daugnter, Fannie, whom Curtis was engaged
to, was before Judge Barrett in the Supreme
Court Chambers today upon writ of habeas
corpus.
It was urged in his behalf that, inasmuch
as he had been exonerated by Coroner's
jury, who declared that the shooting was
justifiable, that he should now be discharged
and not be compelled to wait longer in prison
until the Grand Jury should take action in
the matter 1t was insisted that the Grand
Jury would do the same as the Coroner's
jury had done and eventually he would be
discharged
Judge Barrett did not seem to be of this
opinion and dismissed the writ and remand
ed Curtis to Jail He stated that he was not
so sure that the Grand Jury would exoner-
ate him.

with Iridescent Dreams.
NEW York, June 80, 1S94.-Erastus
Wiman said this morning that the report Of
the receiver of the Electric Power Company
of Staten Island. MIR. f S. Cannon, made
public yesterday showed clear profit Of
S26, 900 for the year. As this was about the
only receivership in the vicinity which
showed so satisfactory, he thought it
justified the expectations of success which
had induced himself and friends to invest in
it. If the new plant in course of erection
could be completed, in which $500, 600 is now
locked up idle and unproductive, the Power
Company would not only pay interest on its
cost, but yield enough in addition to pay
fixed charges on a nine-mile electric road
from the ferry around the sumnit Of the
high hills of Staten Island. This would not
only be an attractive and profitable excur-
sion route, but would bring into market
large properties from the enactment in the
value of which he could pay every dollar he
owed, besides enriching the whole commun-
ity by the use of electricity much as he
had already done by the steam roads he had
constructed.
Mr. Wiman was in his usual good spirits,
and the atmosphere of the Tombs does not
seem either to haue lessened his courage or
his sanguine nature.

A Womanss Companion Kills Her IL
q BOARDING HOUSE.

q Boarding House.
BUFFALO, N. Y. June 80, 1S94-A woman
was strangled 20 death last night in the
house of assgnation at No. 226 Ellicott
street, and an unknown man who accom-
panied her to the house is believed to have
been the murderer. The police have only a
fair description OF him.
About eleven o'clock last night woman
and a man presented themselves at the house
and asked to be assigned room. The
woman who let them in and showed them to
the room gave no particular attention to the
couple except that she observed that the man
called the woman Pearl.
Some time during the night the man left
the house unobserved. This morning when
the housekeeper made the rounds she
knocked on the door Of the room to which
the couple had been assigned and receiving
no reply turned the knob. The door was not
locked and opened readily.
The room was small one. The woman,
Pearl, was lying face downward on the hoor,
half way under the bed. Her pocketbook,
opened and empty, lay right in the middle of
her back, where She could not have placed it
herself
She wore all her clothes. Around her
neck was tied piece of petticoat, which
had been drawn so tightly as to cause
strangulation The won1an's face was black,
sure lndlcablOn OF QeaUn oy surlnSuldeiou.
From the position which the body occupied,
and the fact that the empty pocketbook lay
on her back, it was evident that the deed
was committed by her companion.
Coroner Ransom was summoned by the
police and ordered the body removed to the
morgue.
The woman who admitted the couple to
the house was taken to police headquarters,
where she gave description Of the man.
Upon examining the body and clothing at
the morgue the name pearl Ross' was
found on the inside of the collar on pink
shirt waist which the woman wore. On the
band of one of her skirts was sc. Baker"
