suicide, but later Developments showed
that il was the result of strange acci-

ed to chloroform an old house cat. The
cat was found lying dead in a box, which,
also held large sponge. The strong
odor of chloroform in the room told the
rest of the sad story. Mrs. Spencer.

The other day John Gubbins, a Portu-
guese, was l,eld for trial by Justice
Grady at the Yorkville police court un-
der charge Of stabbing policeman.
There is nothing strange or peculiar
about the arrest Of man charged with
stabbing or attempting to stab a police
man, but the oddity connected with
Gubbins is the fact that he is q Portu-
guese.
How many Portuguese do you think
there are among the g, 900 900 inhabitants
IF New York city? Just &c. There are 20
Of them. and it is said in police circles to
he n fact that Gubbins is the first Portu-
guese ever under arrest in this city. This
would be n very creditable showing il
there We're more than &c of them. As it is,
the only wonder is that there are so few.
lathe whole United States there are 5000
Portuguese. Nine thousand eight mum
dred and fS:y-nine of them are returned

They are q maritime people, most nu-

enough almost unknown in New York,

Eaigrants from the lands OF Camoens
and the Braganzas are famous as sailors
and navigators. and their descendants
are scattered in many lands. notably in
Hawaii. where tine Portuguese popula-
ton is considerable. and the East Indies.

Before His Honor

Saturday last was a field day in
Justice Gonder's office, and several
parties who were in fine trim will
have reason to remember his Honor.
The first case called was that of the
State VS.. Thomas R. Murphy, who
was charged with assaulting one
Albert P. O'Haver. The parties
met at a dance and whilst engaged
in the giddy whirl the trayerser
made an indecent remark to the
prosecutrlx which led to Il free
fight. Verdict guilty and fined ten
dollars and costs.
Peter Monaghan, assault with
intent to murder, was then called
for preliminary hearing. G. S.
Hamill appeared for the State, and
Il. j. Peddicord for the defense.
The testimony showed that on the
goth of August last eleven young
men went to Monoghan's house
where he was sitting quietly in his
door. Ten of the number stopped
abOnt thirty-tiv yards from the
house whilst the other one went into
the yard. Seeing they were stranger
Monaghan ordered the young man
off the premises. He went, and as
he was going he remarked to his
companion, "if he will come down
here | will satisfy him. Mono.
CHAN went in the house and got his
gun. The young men started to
run and Monaghan fired his gun in
different direction to fnghten
them. 1t also appeared that the
prosecuting witness had been before
the grand jury and stated all the
facts at the September term and
that body ignored the charge. Case
dismissed.

Rare Old Coins.


Mr.. L. P. White, cashier of the
Terra Alta bank, has in his posses
sion what is undoubtedly the most
valuable collection of old coins,
confe 1erate bills, ETC., in the State
of West Virginia. The coins and
bills have been handsomel y mounted
and framed, and are now on exhi-
bition at the Terra Alta bank. The
collection contains coins from the
following named countries, Wales,
Austria, BAIL, Helvetia, Germany,
Canada, Haitian Republic, Arabia,
British Continental, Scotland, New
Brunswick. Prince Edward Is
land. Wales. India. Denmark
Holland, Belgium, France, Italy,
Greece, Peru. Mexico, Spain,
Jamaica Dominica, Republica,
Norway, Sweden, Japan, China,
Egypt, Nova Scotia, Switzerland
and coins of the Uuited States,
containing a list Of one cent pieces
dating from the year 1900 up to
the present time and a complete
list of nickels and dimes. Among
the relics of the United States CONS
and bills are list of the old Con-
'tineftal paper money dating from
the year 1774. The full issue of
the "Shln plaster" and old Confed :
crate, wild cat, and State bank
bills issued during the Civil War.
Among the old coins is one from
Switzerland, dated 1862, that was
issued during the Reformation
period.
Among the gold relics you notice
several gold dollars and a few
twenty-five and fifty cents, some
thing that is very rare.
The collection is certainly valu-
able and Mr.. White deserves credit
for getting together and exhibiting
them to the public.-Wheeling

GROOOING SNAKES.
How tho Python Mother Iiatches Out
Her Suun;.


How the Python Mother Iiatches Out
The python lays eggs AMI hatchcs
them by developing IA ligh degree Of
heat, as has been proved in .hc case o'
the Indian and African species.
The first careful investi cations OF
this subject were made in 1871 by the
renowned naturalist, Achille Nalen-
cicnncs, in the Jardin dos PlGHtei,
Paris. a python there laid fifty eggs
within three hours, which ut fret were
oval, bat pointed toward the poles; the
shells were soft and of n gray color;
they soon changed to perfect egg
shape and became white, and the shells
hardened somewhat, although they re-
manned pliable, like leather, and were
lusterless and rather rough. Their
length varied from two and a half to
four and half inches.
After laying the eggs the snake
gathered them together in heap un-
der the cover she had in her box,
wound the rear part of her body
around the base of this heap, and then
formed n cone-shaped spiral of the rest
of her body around the whole, her
head closing the top. Not a single egg
was visible.
After fifty-six days the first young
ones crawled out. They were about
two inches long. The temperature in
the center of the heap of eggs was los
degrees Fahrenheit, while that of the
box was only 72.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Two other pythons tried to hatch
their eggs in the London Geological
gnrden--one in 1862 and the other in
1851. In these cases the difference be
tween the temperature inside of the
heap of eggs and the outside air was
much less; but the eggs were spoiled
and no young were hatchcd.

TREACHEROUS SNOW.
Dangers to Which the Channels Hunter

Dangers to Which the Chamois Hunter
Subjects himself.
One of the perils which the chamois
hunter must face Is that which turks
in the snow. Mr.. Buxton, in his Short
Stalks, tells the story of Herr SIS
adventure, which graphically illus
trates this danger. He was following
with one companion, In the depth of
winter, the trail of q wounded cha
mois. The track led them across a
steep couloir filed with deep, loose
snow, into which they plunged up to
their middles.
When half way across this the mass
parted just above them, and moved
downwards with ever-accelerating
speed, sometimes covering them deep
with surging mass, and then again
tossing them into the air.
At last S. felt himself suddenly
and violently arrested by some pro-
trud;ng substance, which afterwards
proved to be broken stump of tree.
After time he recovered conscious
ness, and succeeded in shaking him
self free.
