New York nry-Goods Market.

NEW YORK, November 5.-There has
been no marked development Of business
in the dry-goods market to-day. On. the
part of sellers there is no disposition
whatever TO force matters in any direcA
ton. they feel secure OF the value basis
of their merchandise. and with stocks,
as a rule. small, are inclined to look for
higher prices generally. In SOME descrip-
tions of staple goods slight gains have
already been noted.

ANDRTA. VA THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27. 1896

THE SNAKE WAS ROUND HER NEcK.-A
remarkable adventure is reported as having
taken place Saturday evening at Browns run,
wild and rugged strip of territory in Madi-
son Township, Ohio. Howard Deem is q
prosperous farmer there. His wife recently
employed a girl in Middletown to do general
housework, and took her out on the farm
among other duties, the girl bad to gather
the eggs each evening. Saturday night she
went to the stable OH her egg hunt. and thrust
her hand into manger, and into familiar
nest, where eggs were found each day. None
were there, but instead, an immense black
snake, which wrapped itself about the girls
arm, and before she could recover her power
of speech or locomotion, had gotten to her
shoulder and wound its Shiny coils about her
neck. The girl was almost paralyzed with
fright, but had presence of mind enough TO
reach for pair of scissors which hung ABOUT
her waist, and which she had been using in
sewing With these she entered into a terri
fic comba. with the big serpent, jabbing at it,
and cutting herself as we'll as the reptile in
her Id thrnsts. Her screams finally brought
MIR Deem from the house, and after strug-
gle, he succeeded in releasing the poor giIl
from her awful predicament. She swooned
after the ordeal was passed, and is in rather
serious condition, both from the fright and
the self-infieted wounds. The snake was al
most seven feet in length.
