THE TROLLEY JUGGERNAUT.
1t brushes the Life ont of Two Bright
Young VirEininns.


Norfolk, Va, Aug 1O.-The $50 train OF
trolley cars for Ocean View last evening,
consisting of a motor car and two trail
ers, containing upwards of 200 passengers,
met with a dreadful accident at the Tan
ners Creek Bridge, four miles from the
city. The motor car left the embankment
before reaching the bridge and was thrown
into the creek on the left side of the
bridge. A number of the occupants Of this
car Jumped into the creek and We're unin-
iured. The second car also left the track
and the forward end went into the creek
on the right side; the third car remained
on the track.
Several persons were more or less in
jured, but not until clock this morning
was it known that there had been loss OF
life. At that time the wrecking force dis
covered the dead bodies of Arthur r. Gate
wood and William c. Murdagh in the mud
under the forward end of the second car.
These young men were on the front seat
and must have been killed instantly. a
boy who was also on this seat was rescued
at the time but his injuries are serious,
and may prove fatal.
The young men who were killed were
each about is years old and were students
at the Virginia military institute last ses-
sion. Young Gatewood stood at the head
of his class in all OF his studies. The COM
pany say the disaster was caused by 2
spike having been placed on rail and
have offered a reward of 81, 900 for the cap
ture Of the offender.

Surgeons Composite, spliced Snake

From the Minneapolis Journal.
Hellette, S. D.-Dr. q. A. Countryman of
this place possesses a combination snake.
1t is half garter and half sand snake, and
this peculiar composition was made pos
sible by a surgical operation performed by
the doctor. His attention was directed TO
snakes from observing that when a snake
is killed its tail appears to live until the
sun goes down, when life ceases. It is
thought by many that this is owing to
the nerves, but the doctor was somewhat
skeptical on this point Being a surgeon,
ne dissected several, and made some inter
estin9 discoveries. He found that in both
the sand and garter snakes the spinal col
umn extended little more than half the
length Of the body. Knowing that it was
possible to graft flesh, this led him to
chloroform them and try splicing them,
making the splice, of course, below the
end Of the spinal column.
He made four unsuccessful attempts, but
succeeded in the fifth. The grated snake
he has now is apparently in good health
and the Joined parts are perfectly knitted
together. It's body is of the sand snake and
its tail is a garter snakes. The sand snake
is spotted and looks exactly like rattle
snake while the garter snake is striped
and its color is of the different shades
of green and yellow. Both of these varie-
ties Of snakes are harmless and common
throughout the state.

DENBY's INDIFFERENcE.
The American Colony at Shanghai
Cables n Protest

Shanghai. Aug. 1O.-rhe Americans here
have sent a cable dispatch 20 President
Cleveland protesting against the action
Of Minister DENLY in consentinz that the
British consul should represent the United
States at the inquiry into the outrages on
Christians at Kucheng. They recommend
that commission of inquiry be formed
and that an American Official of adequate
rank be made a member Of IL, while the
Chinese officials who were in any way i'm
plicated in the massacre be excluded. The
dispatch concludes by urging that the
commission be escorted 20 kucheng by
marines.
Washington, Aug. 10-The protest eeHt
to President Cleveland BY American citi-
zens in Shanghai against the alleged in
activity and Indifference to American in
terests Of Minister DENLY. particularly in
allowing a British consular offioer TO rep
resent the United States in the inquiry to
the Kucheng massacre, was received by
Acting Secretary Adee by telegraph this
morning from Gray Gables. Immediately
conference followed between Mr.. Adee
and Acting Secretary McAdoo Of the navy
department. As a result. Mr.. McAdOo
sent dispatch to Rear Admiral Carpen-
ter, informing him of the complaints of
inactivity and requesting him to DO all in
his power to allay apprehension through
the distribution of United States naval
vessels under his command. The admiral
was requested TO answer as to the cold-
ton of affairs, and whether his force
could be so placed as to give protection
and calm the fears of Americans who may
be in danger.
After the conference Mr.. McAdoo gave
out this statement: The navy department
presumes that Admiral Carpenter is in
constant communication with Minister
DENLY regarding the protection of Amer
lean citizens in China, and that he is do
ing everything in his power to that end.
He has been communicated with by the
department, which expects TO hear from
him very soon"
The departure Of the cruiser Detroit to-
day from Shanghai for Foo Chow, of which
a cabled report was received at the navy
department, was one OF the reasons why
the dispatch was sent to Admiral Car
penter. 1t was thought that Shanghai
Americans might be apprehensive because
the protection of the Detroit was removed.
