grows to be as much as fourteen feet
in length, and is so fierce that 1t will
sometimes attack and even chase any
one who ventures ear to its nest. Ma

men of this venomous reptile In their

caying leaves, which it collects for the
purpose, and sits upon the top TO keep
off intruders. A road through the jun
gle will sometimes be closed against all
corners by a pair of these snakes. n
woe betide the unfortunate traveller who
stumbles unawares upon the nest. The
hamadryas feeds largely upon other
snakes, but 1t is fortunately somewhat
rare. Curiously enough. it is not al

happens that it is quite unwilling to

Fargo, n. D., April 19.-The i%njunc-
ticn on the Great Northern strikers was
served to-day. No trains have, however,
been run, and the effort to get a special
out from here to Grand Forks proved a
failure, as the men put it back into the
round house each time, and finally killed
the engine by drawing off the water.
The read officials say they will run a

they cannot. EVERYTHING is quiet here.

A THOUSAND LIVES.

Flames Destroy Hundreds Of Chinese
Flower Boats Moored Along the Canton
River-Over n Thousand OF the Occupants
Perish, Being Either Burned to Death
or Drowned In Efforts to Escape the
Flames.
HoNG Kong, Sept. lover 1000 ma
tives perishcd in fire which broke out
in the flower boats which line the
estuary of the Canton river, which
empties into the sea at Hong Kong.
Flower boats are moorcd in rows in
the river along the sea wall of the
island in which the city is situated,
and by thousands of natives, who make
their living by selling flowers, these
boats are used as places of residence.
In some way not known fire broke
out in one of these floating houses, and
the spread of the flames from one to
the other was SO rapid that the unfor-
tunates had no time to cut them from
their moorings, a strong wind material
ly helping the increase of the fire.
Hundreds of persons on board leaped
overheard and were drowned.
But many others had no time to avoid
the spreading fire. and were burned to
death on the boats.
The flames swept along the bore, de-
flying the feeble attempts of the natives
to subdue them, until hundreds of the
frail habitations had been consumed.

GEN. N. p. BANKS DYING.
The Sad Work OF Dissolution Began With
the Intellect-Iiis Life Despaired Of.


BosToN. Aug. 3l.-Gen. N. p. Banks,
is dying at his home in Waltham. The
brain trouble which has caused him
two years suffering is expected to re-
suit in his death in very short time,
in fact it is expected that he will not
live out the night. DR.. Cutler is in
constant attendance and will not leave
him until the end comes or, as is hardly
probable, he shows signs of improve
ment. Mrs. Banks and Miss Maud
Banks, are with him and his son,
Joseph Banks, of New York, has been
telegraphed for The wife of Rev. Paul
Sterling, second daughter has also
been notified.
Gen. Banks,as is well-known, has been
decidedly feeble mentally for more
than two years. The first Of this
summer the malady seemed to get q
firmcr grip on his intellect, and his
family took HIM to Deer Isle, Me-,
thinking that a change of scene and
air might help him. lie showed no
signs of improvement, however, and
about ten days ago, as he was much
worse, he was brought home. His de-
cline continuing, he was taken to the
Mclean hospital in Somerville the first
of this week, but within few days he
had so far succumbed to the disease OF
the mind that he no longer recognized
the members of his family Last night
he was taken from the hospital to his
home, and now his life is despaired of.

liam Thorp, the wife of merchant OF
Carnegie, who was returning from a
trip to Europe, died suddenly of heart
disease while the ship was in mid
ocean, Her daughter Eta was with
her at the time, and was prostrated.
Her death occurred on August 90. when
the steamer Black Prince. of the Amer.
lean line, was l,5O0 miles from land.
The body was put in a sack, weighted
and cast overheard with the attendant
impressive sea funeral ceremony.
This following so closely upon the
sudden death of her mother. was too
much for the daughter and her mind
gave way. She tried to follow her
mothers body into the sea, but was
prevented and put under restraint.
She was sent from Philadelphia to
Carnegie in charge of an employe of
the steamship company, and with her
arrival came the first news to the fami.
ly of the death of Mrs. Thorp. They
had been expected home and happy
time was anticipated by those at home
on their arrival. The girl is in dan.
gerous condition and her recovery is
problematical.
