SNAKES IN JERSEY.
Dry Weather Has Driven Them
From the High Lands.

New Jersey has been suffering from drought
since June. Wells, brooks and springs are dry-
ing up. and water famine is imminent in some
parts of the State. Foxes, rabbits, suakes and
even birds are driven TO the swamps and low
lands for water.
Snakes OF all sizes and varieties swarm in the
meadows and on the banks of streams, saws The
New York Sun. CoppeTheads, adders, rattlers
anu racers are the yenOmous speces. while the
harmless garter and black snakes are the most
numerous. Berry y-plckers are often driven
from the bushes by the kissing racer. or are
horrified to find themselves face TO face with
an angry buZZIng rattler. These snakes
are the largest, OodeSJ and most vicious
that have ever been seen In the farming dis
tricts. Some OF he racers are six feet in
length and three inches IN diameter, and are so
Gercc that thy won't hesitate TO attack man
or dog. Often as many a half dozen will

WANTS A NEW JOB
Why Mr.. Caminetti Did
Not Run.

Could Not Secure Appropriations
He Desired.
NOW HIS AMBITION SWITCHES.
Trying to Secure the Attorneyship
for the Northern District of
California.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Representativ
Caminetti will leave for California to-mer-
row night There has been much specu-
lation INDUCED IN about his declination to
accept the nomination for Congress, and
the fact that he has fingered in Washing
ton has been another cause of comment.
The truth is that Mr.. Caminetti is afrail
to run for Congress again. He realizes
that this is an off year for Democrats, es-
pecially for California Democrats. His
refusal to run has been repeated time and
again by his teiegrams 10 McGee. his la W
partner, but still MCGEE and his friends
have insisted upon hi, acceptance.
Caminetti failed in his attempt to secure
an appropriation Tor restraining works at
DaguerTe Point, on the Yuba River, to
keep the debris out of the Sacramento
River. and this is said TO have caused
much disSatis faction among his conStitu-
ents. lt is only jus ice to Mr.. CamInetli to
say that he was not responsible far this
failure. He worked energetically with the
members of the River anu Harbor Com
mittee, and would have succeeded in get
ting his APPROPRIATION mad be received
proper support from the members of the
California delegation. The Calfornians
are never unit for anything affecting
Cslifornia's good. This is so well known
that is proverbal. Besides, Geary and
Caminetti have been at outs for d long
time. They have not spoken to each other
for months. Consequently Geary does not
go out OF his way to help any of the
schemes in which Caminett is interested.
Hermann of Oregon, a member of the
River and Harbor COMMITTEES, saws tIat if
Caminetti had received proper support
from bis California colleagues the
Daguerre Point dam appropriation would
have been made. Caminetti realizes that
be coul1 not be elected in the Second Dis
irict for these reasons: First, because tie
Democratic party is in bad way Oh tie
Pacific Coast, for obvious reasons. and
second, because of his failure TO secure
sufficient river and harbor money. Can't
netli's law partner, as is we'll known, has
been a candidate for United States Dis
trict Attorney for the Northern District of
California, but because of the opposition
of Geary and others he has failed to secure
the appointment 1t is now said that
Camiuetti, realizing that MCGEE cannot be
appointed, is trying to secure this berth
for himself, and that this is the secret of
his stay in Washi gton.

ingIy. He is not more than 80. That is

She looked as she spoke at her pretty
blooming girls of Is and 90, and vaguely
called to mind the stories she had heard of
the large fortune Harold Russell had
gathered together during his exile. Then
she gave herself little mental shake,
thinking:

important Discoveries Made in

Showing the Manners, Customs and
Habits of Men Who Lived Four
Thousand Years Ago.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-An account of
the scientific exploration OF the ruins of
Niffer. near ancient Babylon, which is
being made by American scientists under
the auspices of the Babylonian expl "a
ton fund, which was subscribed by Phila-
delphians in 1883, has been furnished the
State Department by Minister Terrell.
The work of excavation was begun in
1887 by DR.. Hilphicht. From $50 to go
Arabs are constantly employed. In the
number of tablets. bricks. inscribed vases
and in the value of cuneiform texts the
American enterprise is said to rival the
explorations of Layard at Nineveh.
DR.. Hilphicht, the distinguished As
syrian scholar of the University of Penn
sy lvania, remains at the museum at the
request of the Turkish Government to
translate inscriptions and arrange the tab
lets and other relics dating back 10 1000
B. c.
Many tons of tablets. sarcophagi and the
like have already arrived at the museum
at COnstantinople, and the Sultan, in rec
ogniiion of the service of the American
profe ssors, has promised that the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania shall receive one du-
plicate of each tablet.
Minister Terrell says the enterprise has
revealed an antiquity of the human race
nearly ten centuries older than science
had knowledge of before. The religion,
government. habits of life and to a great
extent the customs of men who lived 1000
B. c. are revealed by the inscriptions
which are now being translated here and
arranged by Professor Hilphcht.
Thus far 10000 inscribed tablets of clay
and stone have been discovered, bearing
inscriptions which include promises to pay
debts, deeds. contracts and records Of i'm
portant public and private events.

SARDOU'S EARLY STRUGGLES

SUED BY THE RECEIVER.
Corrupt Methods of Missouri Bank
erS EXnnsed


ers Exposed.
SEDALIA, Mo-. Sept. 13.-W. A. Lati-
mer, receiver of the First National Bank
of this city, filed a suit today in the
United States Circuit Court at Jefferson
City for 1858, 600 against the directors of
the suspended institution.
The petition is of sensational nature.
and makes public for the first time the
alleged methods of President Cyrus New
as those of the directors in conducting the
business of the bank.
Only three of the directors, e. G. Cas-
sidy, 81. w. Wood and John Mcclure +,
have property that can be reached by the
suit. j. S. Thompson, the cashier, is now
fugitive in Mexico, and CYRUS Newkirk.
the president, is now residing in Califor-
MIA.
In nutshell, it is charged that the di-
rectOrs allowed Newkirk to Overdraw his
account to the amount of $101. 200, and
permitted Thompson to gamble away
S7l,000 10 stocks, wheat and real estate
deals, besides allowing insolvent parties
without security to draw S90,0 600 out of the
vaults.
The receiver alleges that the defendants
as receivers, during the whole time
between September 6, $780, and May 4, 1894,
utterly failed to perform their duties anG
failed to hold meetings of said board of
directors to look into and after the affairs
of the bank. They also signed and at
tested false reports to the com ptroller.
