bers of the crew, who had shipped in
many voyage, refused TO subscribe to
the new shipping articles and walked
down the gang-plank.
The convention was held in session for
ten hours today to accomplish the work
cut out for it and several different times
was tragic and inspiring. Fully 10000
people were in the vast audience to hiss
or cheer by turns. The bolt of the silver
men from the west was fully discounted,
but it nevertheless furnished a most dra-
matte incident of the day. Led by Tel
Ter. they had yesterday declared their
intention of refusing to subscribe to the
gold plank platform, but today, after Tel
Ter had made his final appeal to the con-
vention not to take the step which would
drive him and his colleagues out of the
ranks of the party, which in the past had
honored them and they had delighted to

LADIES' AUXILIARY BILE.
SOME OF THE NOBLE WORK m Is
DOING IN M4NCHESTER
Object OF the Orgapization-Its Ohicers.
How Money IL Raised for the
Benefit OF the Poor.

An organization which has probably
done as much to alleviate human suffer
ing as any to be found in the country is
the Ladies' Auxiliary Of the brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers, OF Mahches'cr'
THE OFFICERS.
This little band of ladies Is ever ON the
qui vive, and any case OF desututioh
brought to their notice is sure to be re-
lieved. The present officers OF the AUX
Hilary are Mrs. George Taylor, president.
and Mrs. C. f. Conley. secretary. In
addition to her duties as secretary OF the
organization, Mrs. Conley is state Or
ganizer and Inspector of Auxillarles, anu
her duties often call her away from nome
for weeks at time. She Is also former
president of the Manchester AUXILIARY.
The objects Of this organization, as stat
ed. are TO relieve, as far as lies In their
power. the needs of every sick and desu-
tute person worthy of help, who Is brought
TO their attention. All through the cola
winters they furnish fuel and provisions
to those in need. and in the heat OF sum-
mer. ice is literally dispensed.
HOW FUNDS ARE RAISED.
To properly attend 10 the wants OF those
in need Of assistance requires a great deai
of money. to raise which the ladies perl

entertainments. having such noble OBJ
ject i'm view. naturally appeal 10 all, ana
are generally crowned with success.
When, however, enough money is not
raised by these means. each member OF
the Auxiliary is assessed certain amount.
which Is always chcerfully given. The
Auxiliary is always strongly backed by
the Brotherhood TO whom no appeal Tor
money is made in vain.
The Auxiliary is deserving of every sue
cess I'm its work. and the PEOPLE need only
TO be reminded of its need of funds to
fock 20 the entertainments given by II,
and spend their money freely.
In addition to the necessities of life fur
nlshed To- the poor by the Auxiliary. clothes
and medicines are also given. and no APP
peal for aid is ever dIsregarded.

SNAKE HANGED ITSELF.
Swallowed a Monkey with IA Chain
Attachment.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal.
This is the story Of snake which hung
itself-a big Indian boa constructor. eigh-
teen feet in length, which went out forag-
ing for a midnight supper. and succeeded
in leaving its long body suspended by
chain from the ceiling of the room.
The body of the boa, which is to be
skinned and stuffed, was sent to Columbia
college yesterday. 1t came from the ami
NAL store of H. Hole, at No. GAG Grand
street. Williamsburg, where its death oc-
Cured.
The boa, which was the property of Mr.
Hole, was recently on exhibition at the
was over it was brought back to Williams
burg, where it remained in a big box not
unlike a packing case. waiting FOR the
was to be exhibited at menagerie at the
beach.
In the back room of Mr. Holes store
bits, and many odd-looking animals in
cages. There were the neighbors, among
which the big snake found itself. A few of
the rabbits and pigeons were sacrificed ev-
cry day to feed the boa.
on Friday night Proprietor Hole locked
up the store at 10 o'clock, and went home,
The animals were all secure in their cages.
When Mr.. Hole entered the place on Sat
urday morning he found cages broken and
tank or aquarium had been upset, and the
goldfish which 1t contained had been scat
IeTeQ over lne HOOT..
There were ali the evidences of a terrible
struggle having taken place. The wooden
cages were broken into Splinters, and the
parrots and rabbits had hidden in fright
beneath what was left of the woodwork.
Hole is an old animal tanner, and is ia
miiar with all their tricks, but he could
hardly believe his eyes when he saw the
boa constructor, which he had left the
night before securely nailed in a box,
dangling from a chain from the ceiling.
The night before there had been a big
Java monkey attached to the chain. 1t was
nowhere he to be found. The boa was dead,
and its body and tail were bruised where
ii had dashed the air in its death struggle.
This accounted for the broken cages and
generally dilapidated condition of things
in the store.
First making sure that the snake was
really dead Hole and his assistant who
had come in. cut down the body 1t was
then discovered that the boa had swal-
lowed the monkey, and that 1t was firmly
lodged in the snakes throat. Unable to
eNtricate itself the monster hand strangled
to death at the end of the chain.
The pigeons and rabbits would have been
much more to the taste of the boa, but as
they were in stout cages ana the monkey
was within easy reach, the snake chose TO
lunch off the latter before making a square
meal off the delicacies in sight Hole said
last night that it was not often that a
snake would attack a monkey He believes
that the warm weather of the few days
past caused the snake to become more ac-
tive and sharpened its appetite.
An examination OF the box in which Ii
had been confined showed that it had loos-
ened one of the boards at one end suffi-
GENTLY to crawl through the aperture. The
nails which secured the board were drawn
out with it,

making the wellkin ring in South Geor-

speak in every section of the state.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: Mr.. Crisp was
little backward in deciding to meet Sec
rotary Smith in joint debate, on the ground
that the secretary was not a candidate
but when he and Mr.. duBignon come to-
gether, when candidate meets candidate
the ex-speal1er's friends will expect him 10
speak more of silver and less of the views
of Secretary Smith in 1890.
Columbus Enquirer Sun: II the cause OF
free silver prevails Mr.. Crisp will be all
The stronger; If It fails he can not, as a
good democrat, expect the people to send
him to the Senate as the advocate of a
measure which the party at large has con-
demned. The choice of a. senator cannot be
settled in advance Of July 7th, and all con-
trary efforts but tend to disrupt the par
ty.

Rockdale will name the senator in the
Twenty-seventh district this year There
are two candidates, Judge A. c. McCalla
and Dr. j. a. Stewart. r. II. Cannon is
that there will be no further announce
ments. Rockdale has her hands full with
the populists. and will put forward q
united strength at the polls. In the last
election Hines had a majority of three

Conyers Banner: To use the language Of

signs of failing health under the strain o.

sledge-hammer strokes of Mr.. Smith anC
to shake Mr.. Smith off, If he could anC
give the people, whom he is hurrying al
he can, a chance to express their prefer

those who agree with him are wrong il
their position as to silver, and that the,
will not be able to hold their position
more than two years longer, at least in til,
democratic party.
