Victims Of a Rather.

William Morehead and Thomas
Broomfeld, farmers on Buffalo creek,
Nicholas county, this State, were work
ing in an old brush grown field recent
" when both were bitten by a ire
mendous rattlesnake. Morehead was
struck on the leg and Broomfeld on
one of his toes. Morehead' leg swelled
in few minutes to almost the size Of
his body. He lived in fearful agony
several hours, dying from the effects
Of the bite on Saturday morning.
Bloomfield, who was a man of intelli-
gence and quick of action, as soon as
he was bitten took out his knife and
deliberately severed the injured toe.
His action was 50 quick that the poison,
rapidly as it infuses itself into the
blood, did not have time to penetrate
to any great depth and he felt no i'll
effects from its action. In the same
neighborhood only few days before,
two boys, about Is or l6 years old,
were passing through an old field near
Broomfeld's house when one Of the
boys was struck in the calf of the leg
by rattlesnake. They quickly killed
the reptile and then the boy who had
escaped its fangs scarifed his friend s
wound with his knife and deliberately
put his lips to the wound and sucked
out the poison with the blood. The
injured boy leg panied him for several
hours, but the poison had been entirely
withdrawn and he Is now as sound as
ever

A Frightful Catastrophe.

The Gumry Hotel, in Denver, Colo
RADIO, was demolished by an explosion
soon after midnight last Monday morn
ing. The wrecking of the large build
ing was dreadful enough, but to add
to the horror the ruins caught fire
and many of the unfortunates who
were not killed outright by the crush
were slowly burned to death. Their
screams and pleadings that they be
killed to save them from torture by
fire were piteous, but the bystanders
were powerless to render them any
aid.
The disaster was caused by the ex-
plosion of the boiler in the rear part
of the hotel. Elmer Pierce, boy II
years old and half drunk, was tempo
rarily in charge as engineer. With
the boiler almost at white heat, he let
cold water into the tubular machinery,
causing an immediate explosion. He
escaped unhurt. The whole rear half
of the hotel was blown to atoms and
the front portions were left shattered
and burned fragments of house.
Five stories of brick and wood and
iron, with the human occupants, were
made mere heap of death-containing
ruins. 1t was catastrophe complete
and pitiless in its horrors. The dust
had cleared away somewhat when the
fremen reached the place There was
no fire to be seen then. In front OF
the house there was the sound ofglass
falling and people were rushing in
night clothes in horror from the doors
and appealing piteously from the win
dows for help. Every engine in the
city was called to the scene, but the
flames could not possibly be gotten
under control before many Of the IN
iured had been cremated. As their
chances of escape lessened the cries Of
the imprisoned people increased, heart
rending shrieks rising from every
portion of the great mass Of wreckage.
Two injured women had been almost
extricated when the flames approached
so close that the rescuers had to ADAM
don them to insure their own safety.
At one time the men almost managed
to reach the interior whence proceeded
cries for succor, but as they crossed
the threshold the walls in the rear fell
and exposed to view the inmates
making frantic struggles to escape.
At times the cries Of a babe and the
means of men and women could be
heard, but the flames and smoke in
creased and finally the voices were all
silenced.
The scene surrounding the death of
James Murphy, contractor, was heart
rending. The fremen engaged at
the rear of the building heard the
agonizing cries from the man that he
was burning, and asking them to con-
tinue to play the water. After a few
hours heroic work the fremen reached
him. His two lower limbs were PIN
toned between two heavy joists. At
ter the most herculean efforts, with
dense smoke binding them, the fire.
men released Murphy's left leg. At
this moment a sheet of flame compelled
them to withdraw. Murphy then Of
fered his rescuers $4,000 to get him
out, and piteously demanded them to
chop his leg off. A second later the
west wall collapsed and covered Muir
ply with tons of ruins. The list of
dead and missing numbers twenty-five,
making the disaster the worst that ever
occurred in the city. The money loss
is about $4,000.

Tbor,o. Hovenden. the noted Amer.

Thomas Hoyenden, the noted Amer
lean artist, saw a little girl named
Bessie Pifer in great peril of her life
from a locomotive at Trenton, n. j.,
the other day. He sprang to save her,
regardless of his own life, when the
engine struck and killed them both.
Mr.. Hovenden painted an excellent
picture of John Brown and the old
fort at Harper's Ferry. Before exc
cutting it he spent quite a while IN
Harper's Ferry suffusing himself with
the subject in his search for locations,

picture he painted Breaking the Home

admiration of thousands at the World S

Train Held Up by Hornets.

A swarm Of hornets Wednesday held
up a passenger train on the Chicago,
Fort Madison and Des Moines Rail-
road, and gave the trainmen and pas
sengers a battle that Will be remem-
bered longer by far than if it had been
against bandits. The train was run
ming slowly up a steep grade Just out
side Ottumwa, Ia, where the hillside is
covered with trees. Suddenly Engi-
neer Cunningham noticed a black mass
moving through the air ahead of the
train. Had he known what was COM
ing he would have stopped his engine
and backed to the next station. The
small cloud soon developed into
swarm ofhornets. The hornets noticed
the putting engine and made for it.
They attacked the engineer and fire
man, who were forced to stop the train.
1t was a sultry day, and all the car
windows were open. This gave the
hornets an opportunity to enter the
cars and poster the passengers. 1t
was an hour before the trainmen and
passengers succeeded in driving away
the hornets. \ number of persons
were severely stung. The train stop
ped at farmhouse until the injuries
could be attended to and then pro-
ceeded to Ottumwa

Providence Watched Over Them.

A freight train made up Of ten cars
was side-tracked near Woodstock, Va,
the other morning to allow a passenger
train pass. Just after it stopped Con-
ductor Frank Norris saw something
moving between the ties over which
the cars had passed. He went back
to investigate, and found the eighteen
months-old child Of Farmer Jenkins,
which had crawled out upon the tracks.
The engine, moving very slowly, had
pushed the child between the ties,
where he lay until ten cars had passed
over. With the exception of a slight
bruise on the shoulder, caused proba
bly, by the pilot Of the engine, the child
was uninjured.
Albert Phillips, the eight-year-old
son of Russell Phillips, photographer,
of Alexandria, Va, slipped away from
his father while on the West Jersey
railway bound for Cape May and either
jumped or fell off. The train was going
at the rate of forty miles an hour,
and, strange to say, the little fellow
not only escaped instant death, but
was not injured in the slightest degree.
He was picked up and carried to the
home of his grandfather, where his
father found him wreathed in smiles
when he arrived after fruitless search
for the body.

An Object Lesson.

Secretary Morton, Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, gave what he re-
CARDS as an object-lesson to the en-
ployes of his department at Washing
ton last Thursday. He heard argu-
ments by many of his subordinates in
favor of silver. Thursday being the
semi-monthly pay day, he ordered the
paymaster of the department to pay
out $1,000 in silver coin, this money
weighing sixty pounds. The silver
coin was paid to all the employees
about the grounds of the Agricultural
Department, to messengers and we'll
known silverites in various positions
in the department. Unless Mr.. Nor
ton receives a petition to the contrary
it is expected that silver will be paid
out again and again on pay day to the
men who ale known to favor it as cur
rency. There was good deal of kick
ing among the employees and a good
many of them have indicated to the
paymaster that they want paper mon
ey on their next pay day.
