MONSTER REPTILE.


The Shiny Beast is II Rod and Half Lonl
and Big Barrel.
DUBUQUE, August 3.-Nicholas Pre-.
mier a farmer living near Sprecht,s
Ferry, in Wisconsin, some miles above
Dubuque, tells most wonderful snake
story. He says a monster snake
appeared in his pasture and killed two
of his cows by winding itself around
them He saw one of his COWS in the
folds of the snake but was afraid to
interfere and ran away. Returning
later, he found the COW dead and a
large hole in her flank. The same
thing was repeated the next day. A
party was organized to hunt the
monster, but when they came upon it
they were also frightened and allowed
it to escape. One man claims he saw
it swallowing a cow Premier
describes the snake as about twenty
five feet long and three feet in circum-
ference in the middle. The folds in
the snake left deep creases in the
animals killed. 1t is supposed the
reptile escaped from some menagerie.
Premier is well known and is believed,
incredible as the story appears.

Sugar Bounties Are Paid.

WASHINGTON, August Warrants
for the payment of the sugar bounties
earned in 1894 except maple sugar.,
provided for in the appropriation OF
$1,000, 900 in the deficiency act Of 1895,
have been issued. The fact in connec-
ton with the refusal OF the comptroller
to pass these claims and the long
litigation which resulted in the
supreme court ordering the payment
is familiar to the public. The proved
claims were pro rata, each claimant
receiving under the appropriation 81
per cent per claim. The number and
amount of the beet sugar claims we're
insignificant. Three warrants amount
ing to about $4,000 were withheld.
There was total of 400 warrants
issued, aggregating S4, 9SS, 036.

Quick Transportation of troops.

WASHINGTON, August 6.-The navy
department some time ago ordered 100
men. which were of the crew of the
Charleston, at Mare Island, Cal, to be
sent to the navy yard at Norfolk The
department desired to see what was
the least possible time in which the
crews could be transferred across the
country. The men have arrived at
Norfolk, making the trip by special
train in four days and twenty-three
hours. which is a record breaker. The
route was via the Southern Pacific and
Scaboard Air lines. The method of
transferring sailors heretofore has
been by the way of the isthmus of
Panama, and occupies thirty five days.

Awful Railroad Wreck in New Jersey, re-
sulting Fatally.


ATLANTIC CITY, N. T., July 3l.-The
Rending railroad express which left
Philadelphia at $40 p. IN. for Atlantic
City crashed into a Pennsylvania rail
road excursion train at the second sig
nal tower, about four miles out from
this place The Pennsylvania train
was running to Bridgeton with party
of eXcursionists from that place, Mill
vile and neighboring towns. At the
second signal tower the tracks of the
two roads cross diagonally. The
Reading train was given the signal,
but it either failed to work or the
speed of the express was too great to
be checked in time. 1t caught the
excursion train broadside and plowed
through, literally cleaving it in twain.
The engine of the Reading train was
shattered to pieces. The excursion
train was made up of fifteen cars, the
foremost of which was baggage car,
and they were all crowded. The bag
gage car and the next two coaches

were utterly demolished. What re-
NAMED of the third car was tumbled
into ditch at the roadside A report
from one of the officials says there
were 81 persons killed, 81 men
IL women, 2 boys and girls, 1t is
generally believed this list will be con.
siderably swelled. The injured will
reach three score.
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., August l.
Forty-seven dead and forty-three
injured, these are complete figures on
the appalling disaster on the Meadows.
Of these forty have been identified.
Three of the unidentified We're men
and three women. The odd one con.
sists of an arm to which no body has
been found. Of the injured it is more
than probable that four or five will
die. Many of the others are injured
only rsuperfcially- The arrest OF
William Thurston, the telegraph
operator in Signal tower, confirms the
theory of mistake in the display OF
signals as the first cause of the
disaster. This is purely conjectural,
however, as the arrest may have been
in the way of formality.

Miss Adrienne Dairolles, the eminent
French actress, does not like America
and did not hesitate to say so to an
English interviewer. She seemed
chiefly struck with the fact that the
women were pretty. well-dressed and
made the men work all day to get
money, which seemed TO her an ex-
cellent arrangement, but when the be-
wildered interviewer asked her what
she thought of the American actresses
she shrugged her beautiful shoulders,
rolled a cigarette and said: Actresses?
Actresses? Actresses in America? Let
us not be frivolous. To be blonde and
blue-eyed is sufficient on the American
stage" This is what the street Arabs
call hot stuff" and the worst of it is
that unjust as it may be, it is not with
but a certain basis of disagreeable
truth.
