Copperheads GaIore

a messenger came in this after
noon at O'Clock for a physician to
attend Guy, the son of James OdeI,
two miles northeast of town. The
boy was bitten this afternoon by a
copperhead snake, one of the most
venemous of all serpents. DR.. Jones
left at $50.
1t seems that the particular local
ity where the boy was bit is infested
with a nest OF copperheads that raise
there every year. A few years ago a
little daughter of DR.. Jones was bitten
in the same vicinity, but recovered.
Two years ago J. d. Hassel cut and
corded a lot of wood there, and the
next summer when he went to haul
the wood away, be killed a hundred
copperheads that had raised in the
piles of wood since the time it was
cOTded.-Denison Herald.

A DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRE.
other Matters of Interest From the
VaIdosta District.

Valdosta, Ga. April ga forest fire de-
stroyed a large amount of valuable timber
on Mr.. Mitch Jones place this week. The
fire caught from match which a negro
had used for lighting his pipe and thrown
down on the grass. The fire burned for
two days and the heat was so intense
that very little could be done toward
fighting it,
Mr.. H. A. Whitney and wife, a Canadian
official who has been spending the winter
here, but has recently visited White
Springs, was in the hotel at that place
when the fire occurred last night. He
says that a northern lady broke one of
her limbs while rushing from the building.
Mr.. Whitney and his wife left this even
ing for their home in the British domain.
Nearly all of the towns about here have
had good rains this evening, though il is
still as dry as a powder house here. The
indications now are that we will have rain
tonight 1t will prove a blessing to crops
needing it.
Work was commenced to-day on two
brick stores on the place which was re-
Gently burned out. Two others will go

there Mr.. ]. B. Warn is erecting a very
handsome residence, one of the handsome
est in the city, while right by its side
on the same block the big new Baptist
church will begin to loom upward in the

MAUPIN LAW VALID.
Virginia's Court of Appeals Stands
by the Anti-GnmbIing Bill.

Richmond. Va, April 29.-The court Of
appeals to-day passed upon the constitu-
tionality of the Maupin anti-gambling act,
UNFOLDING it in all of its material features.
Richard NJ Lacey, the man arrested for
violating the law, was ordered to be dis
charged from custody on the ground that
the Justice erred in committing him to
jail for trial by the county court. Lacey
issued a writ of habeas corpus against
Palmer, the sheriff and ex-oficio jailer
of Alexandria county, alleging that he
was unlawfully held a prisoner. The
counsel for the prisoner contended that
the Maupn law was repugnant to the
constitution of Virginia, which requires
the title of an act to embrace only one
object; that II was repealed, by implica-
ton by another and somewhat similar
act approved about the same time; that
il was repugnant 10 the commerce clause
of the legislation of the United States;
that the warrant was vague and indefi-
nite and failed 10 state precisely what
the prisoner was charged with, and that
the Justice should have fixed the punish
ment. instead of committing the man
for trail by the county court. The decis-
ion of the court is adverse to all of these

Montpelier. VI. April 29.-The republi-

The delegates at large are: Hon. Red
feid Proctor, DR.. Henry D. Hilton or
p~attleboro. Edward C. Smith of St. Al
hans and C. A. Proutty of Newport.
A Mckinley resolution was greeted with
tremendous applause. 1t was this: while
We recognize the wisdom of the prece-
dent which has heretofore sent our dele
gates 10 national conventions without
tieing their hands with positive instruc-
,iars. and without desire to bseak that
precedent, yet we feel we will be untrue

did we fail to give voice TO their convic-
tons. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the great apostle of
protection, William Mckinley of Ohio,
we recognize the first choice of the repub-
leans of Vermont for their presidential
candidate"
This was adopted by reclamation and
later a motion 10 table it was adopted
the Mckinley men being satisfied with
this expression of sentiment of the con-
vention.
The outburst of enthusiasm was all Nc
Einley's way The Reed men attempted
TO have the convention look with favor
toward the man from Maine, but ii was
plainly evident that a large majority oil
the delegates were lovers Of Mckinley.
The Reed men attempted TO put through
a motion expressing no preference but
10 stand firm, and carried the day with
flying cOlors.
Tire party leaders are surprised. but
say it was intended to have the delegates
so uninstructed, but with such a strong
sentiment in favor of Mckinley, it is be,
lieved that no delegate will dare to stand
for any other candidate.
This is the financial plank: 1.-THE re.

a deprecated or debased currency. We
are, therefore, opposed to the free coinagt

her puppies to do the same. Her owner
says she is the best mother-dog he ever
had on the place. Topsey is the name Of
the dog. She is a Spitz, and is nearly 5
years old. Topsey acquired the habit OF
eating FISH when she was young, and OBJ
tained them from a Chinese camp not far
from the ranch house.
When her first puppies had grown old
enough to eat she insisted they should
have FISH. She would go down to the camp
and carry home the largest FISH she could
md and tried In every way 10 let them
know that Il was good food. The puppies
did not like Il at first. but soon acquired
the taste. If other food was placed before
the young ones she would take IL away.

AN ARSON CASE
Settled by "A Plea of Guilty of Mis-
demcanOr


Thomasville, Ca, April 29.-George Crit
tths, white man, charged with arson in
setting fire to the store of /. ]. Blythe, in
this city about a year ago, while clerking
for Blythe, was put on trial yesterday,
but before the case was tried, Griffiths,
by arrangement with the attorneys of
both sides, was allowed to plead guilty to
being accessory before the fact to an at
tempt 10 burn with a recommendation to
mercy, reducing the case to misdemean-
or lie was sentenced to pay fine of $500
or serve twelve months on the chain
gang. An interesting question arises at
TINS point as to the reward in the case.
The city of ThomasVille had suffered fear
1ully from incendiariSm. Insurance rates
had been greatly advanced and many COM
pan.es had Withdrawn from the city. De-
tectiVes We're employed, watchers set and
many other efforts made to catch the
criminals. The city offered $500 reward for
ing, and later raised the reward to 81, 200.
one night the store of l. j. Blythe on
Jackson street was found to be on fire. Cir
cumstances fixed suspicious on George
Griffiths, the clerk, and MIR. Blythe the
proprietor. c. H. Young swore out war
rants for these parties. .Griffiths was com
mitted and gave bond, but Blythe was
turned loose. The question now is, is
Young entitled 10 the reward?
Further developments are possible in this
interesting case In the meantime Griffith
IS in Jail awaiting the payment of his
fine.
The residence of DR.. ]. B. Watkins near
this city was destroyed by fire yesterday
about noon. 1t was insured.
