Fell Into a Den of Snakes.

Beaver Falls, Pa, Aug. 19.-This
morning Willie Nichols and George
Hutchinson, two small boys, met with
remarkable adventure while gathering
elderberries at Wallace Run, north of
this place. In rambeling over the rocks
Hutchinson fell into a hole six feet deep,
concealed by the underbrush. He was
not injured, but could not get out. He
called Nichols to his assistance, and the
latter fell into the hole also, and a min
ute later both boys were filled with terror
to find themselves surround by mass of
kissing, squirming snakes of all sizes.
The boys had fallen into a snake den.
Wild with fear they scrambled out and
ran for home. Before leaving, however,
they looked into the den and noticed
that the snakes had engaged in deadly
combat with each other. On their way
home they told their adventure. Two
farmers visited the place and found 40
or 30 dead snakes, principally little
ones, lying in the bottom of the den.
They saw no living ones.

The conference of free silver Demo
Gratis at Washington last week was a
tiasco. Although it adopted a resoIu-
ton suggesting ''that the Democratic
party, in national convention assembled,
should demand the free and Unlimited
coinage of silver and gold into primary
or redemption money at the ratio of Is
to !, without waiting for the action or
approval of any other nation,' it did
not go further than suggestion" There
was no threat of revolt. All the pro-
ceedings were tame and timorous. 1t is
only matter of months when the Is to
l phase of bimetallism in the Uuited
States Will die the death. As men find
work to do, and fair wages for work,
they have no time to spend in blowing
cheap money bubbles or for marching
with COxey or Sibley.

The export of gold has, says the
Philadelphia Rscord, occasioned no un-
easiness, for several patent reasons.
The outflow Is a natural one. The gold
has been sent to pay for goods purchas-
ed Foreign investors are not drawing
away our gold by sending back Ameri-
can securities In very few days We
shall toe large shippers and sellers of
commodities, and in answer to the crop
exports the tide of gold Will set this way
The immediate steps taken by the gov
ernment bond syndicate to fill the gap
made in the treasury gold by deposits in
excess OF Withdrawals Is also an exceed
ingly reasSuring occurrence.
There are many political pessimists,
and doubtless many speculative opera
tors in shares and stuffs, who would like
to create a scare with the view to personal
profit; but something more dubious and
distressing than the recent shipments of
gold must be disclosed to furnish a suffi-
cient groundwork to build upon.

Cannot Give Up the Flags.

Louisville, Ky, Aug. 19.-In the
state library at Frankford, are - flags
carried by Federal troops ofKentucky in
the war Mrs. Thomas F. Hargis, Of
the committee on decoration for the
coming national encampment of the
grand army, conceived the idea that
they would aid in the decoration Of the
headquarters, and made application to
Secretary Of State HeadIy for their use,
it was not in his power to grant the re-
quest, and it was referred to Governor
Brown.
Governor Brown was willing, but
found that the flags became the prop
erty of the state in such a manner that
they can be loaned only by an act OF the
legislature. Accordingly he expressed
deep regret that he could not permit the
flags to be removed.

IT has been the rule and the excep-
ton to reduce the price of pudding in
the iron manufacturing districts upon
the slightest pretexts, and Throughout
the ScnuyIkill Valley the rate has fallen
as low as 81. % ton. The extent of
late voluntary advances on this rate will
be better appreciated when it is consid-
cred that the third re-adjustment of the
scale at Pottstown is an increase to
S4.25., and at Pittsburg 81 %. An in
crease OF this character is the best prac
tical evidence that in the advance in the
selling prices of iron has every indica-
ton of being permanent and that the
improvement in business and trade con-
ditions is urquestionably solid and
thorough. The new tariff schedule is
market winner for the country.

ceed Prince Cantacuzene, proves to be
brother in-law of that gentleman. He

of counselor and first secretary Of the
MuScOvlte Embassy.
He Is the owner of vast estates in the
Baltic provinces of Russia, and Is res
ported to be a society man in the broad
est acceptation of the term.
1t is said that the reason for the
change and the transfer to Stuttgart of
the present minister is due to Prince
Cantacuzene's desire to personally over
see the education of his daughter, the
young princess, who has developed un-
usual talent as an artist and musician.

The wool trade is growing with mar
velous rapidity. In a letter to Assistant
Secretary Hamlin of the treasury de
partment at Washington, Mr.. ;. A. d.
North. secretary of the National Asso-
citation Of Wool Manufacturers Of the
United States. after commenting on the
increase in the value of wool, adds,
..VVages in the wooden and wOrsted in
dustry in the state of Rhode Island will
be increased from = to y per cent this
month
This Is the second increase that has
occurred in the wages of operatives in
that section within the last 90 days.
The other was from 10 to 10 per cent.
and in all cases the advance was volun-
tary. simultaneously with the first in
crease in Rhode Island, equal improve
ment was made in the wages of all other
New England wooden, wors:ed and cot
ton operatives. 1t is to be hoped that
the others will follow in this base.
These signs are not indicative of run
either of the wool growers or manufac
turers. On the contrary, they show &
betterment IN all branches of the trade
and Justify the predictions of the tariff
refOrmers that the removal of the duty
on wool would not only add to the val
Ne of the lleeces, but increase the busi
ness of the manufacturers. Those WHIT

/ growers have no doubt 10y this time dis

Struck II Coal Vein.

Pottsville, Aug 19.-The Thomas
Coal Company has struck the Lykens
vein at its collery in the Shenandoah

one half feet of good coal. This is a
new discovery and Will be a source of
much wealth 20 the land owners in that
valley among whom are the Philadelphia
and reading Coal and Iron company and
the Girard estate.
The vein was intersected after a tun-
mel was driven 500 feet. Many of the
coal authorities have heretofore held
that the Lykens vein did not underie
the other coal seams in this vicinity but
the Thomas company management is
now satisfied the theory has been wrong
