Snakes at Home Inside a Cow.

Nicholas Gradner, a well-known and
prosperous farmer of near PortersviIle.
Butler county, Pa, was in the city and
told the following remarkable story,
which is vouched for by reliable people.
He said that seven days ago a valuable
COW belonging to the family was miss
ing, and that yesterday the animal was
found dead, lying among the cranber-
ry bushes in the swamp. A veterinary
surgeon named Porter happened along
by that time and said he had a curiosi-
ty to know the cause of the animals
death. He proceeded to hold a post
mortem on the body. While he was at
work a four-foot black snake craWled
from the mouth of the dead COW and
succeeded in escaping in the under
brush. The doctor was considerably
startled, but he proceeded with his
work, and when he had reached the
stomach he was Mortified to find that
it was fairly alive with little black
snakes from six to eight inches in
length. Thirty-two of the reptiles
were slaughtered and few escaped. 1t
is now supposed that the mother snake
In some manner crawled into the nos
| trils Of the COW while she was eating
and that the little snakes. which are
known to find refuge in the interior of
| the old one, followed.

MUNICIPAL FOLLY.
New Xork Has Given Away sEany of It's
Most Valuable Franchises.

New XOEk Has Given Away HLany OF It's
Most Valuable Franchises.
The time has come to call a halt upon
the granting of public franchises in this
way. If New York city cannot itself
undertake to operate its street rail-
roads, and II 1T is not practicable, or IL
it is deemed unWfse that it should sup4
ply gas and electricity, certainly it cam
not be urged that 1t should give away
these valuable franchises without ade-
Quate return; and adequate return can
be secured only by granting these priv
ileges to private companies for a limit
ed time, and requiring that at the END
of a stated period-not exceeding, say,
twenty-one years-there shall be a re-
vision of the compensation to be paid
to the city. The net earnings of any
street railroad or gas company, or even
now of any electric light company, are
so well assured that there is no doubt
capital would enter into them even I'M
der severe restrictions. This is also
true of the telephone business. This
is not a new principle, but only the ap-
plication to these privileges of the prac-
tice that has always prevailed in re-
gard to the city's docks, piers, markets,
and ferries. The city of New York has
wisely retained the ultimate control of
its own water front, and by readjust-
ment every year Of rentals for its docks
and piers, and at longer intervals Of
its ferry privileges, it is deriving the
benefit of municipal growth and expan-
sion from those sources. The result is
gratifying, even though millions may
have been lost by official negligence or
corruption. The utmost advantage can
at any time be obtained by the city by
greater economy and watchfulness on
<Ia 1f
figures of increased revenue will carry
conviction of the value of public fran
chises in New York city. The dock de-
partment was organized in 1870, and
since then its gross annual revenues
have shown an increase from 1915, 524
in 1871 to 81, S39, 658 for the year 1894. and
its net yearly revenues, which in 1871
amounted to S143, 900, had increased
twenty-three years later to 81 SOC, 900.
The ferry rents, which in the year 1879
were only $64, AL, have been increased
to 1854, 280. We need only record the
earnings Of the Brooklyn bridge to real
lie what has been gained to present and
future generations by retaining in pub
lie hands the control and ownership Of
this great highway. The gross earn
tngs have steadily increased from $622,-
6S031 in 1885 to 81, 1926, 598 So in 1894. The
profits from public enterprises are so
we'll assured that the public should be
continually on guard. Only few years
ago practically an exclusive contract
for underground subways was author
! tied by the legislature, without substan-
tial consideration to the city, which will
make it almost impossible ever to in
terefere with the monopoly of the Metro
politan Telephone, the Western Union,
| and the Edison Illuminating companies,
! the virtual owners of this new corpora
| ton controlling the subways.

The Widow of a Johnstown Flood Mar
tyr Accused of BIaokmai.
The widow Of a man who gained I'M
dying fame in the flood at Johnstown in
1889 is accused of blackmail in an an
swer to her suit filed the other day.
She is Mrs. Anna Maizi, whose husband
was the Paul Revere of that terrible
disaster He rode through the valley
of the Conemaugh, warning the people
of the coming of the torrent of water
and lost his life through his bravery. In
her suit Mrs. Malzi claimed she had
loaned John Noey, who is a friend of
her husband, at various times about
1928, and he refused. to pay any of the
sums back. Noey in his answer relates
an entirely different story. He says he
received $240 from Mrs. Malzi, which he
returned; that Mrs. Malzi owes him
$4,000, and because he will not give her
any more money she has threatened q
pretended exposure, which he says is
an attempt at blackmail
