IMPORTANT CAPTURE.
A Young Man Against whom Several
Charges Are Made.

Michael Farrell, young man of Centralia
for whom the @. & / policemen have been
hunting for several weeks, was arrested at
Gilbertou yesterday by G. g. 1. Policeman
Kreiger in connection with Detective Bobb,
Of Mahanoy Plane. Farrell is but 20 years
Of age, but the authorities say chat several
serious charges are pending against him
Farrell was on a milk wagon when arrested
and when he was taken to Mahanoy Plane
several relatives and friends appeared to
offer bail, but Kreiger said he would accept
only gilt-edge security and finally brought
the prisoner 10 town and locked him
up. Last evening the prisoner was taken
before Justice Shoemaker upon request of
Farrelps uncle, who wanted to give bail. Up
to this time the only charge made known was
assault and battery with intent TO kill on
Policeman Kreiger ON the 18th of last June.
FarrelPs uncle was very indignant because
the accused had been pulled from milk
wagon on which he was riding to learn a
delivery route and handcuffed, and also
because bail had been refused at Mahanoy
Plane. The uncle sought Mr.. j. J. Bradi-
gan, who is an acquaintance of Farrells
parents. Mr.. Bradigan appeared to give bail,
but after consultation with Kreiger and
Justice Shoemaker Mr.. Badigan concluded
that he would not interest himself
in the matter. M, M. Burke, Esq, was re-
tanned in the case and finally bail was Sc.
cured from another party for Farrell's ap-
pearance for hearing before Justice Larkin
in Centralia at 10 O'Clock this morning. 1t
is alleged that Farrell was implicated in the
robbing Of freight car loaded with goods
consigned to T. M. Fighter & Co., Mt Car
mel. That on June 18th, last, Policeman
Kreiger was about to arrest Farrell, but the
latter made his escape after throwing
coupling at the officer 1t is also alleged that
several other charges are pending against the
young man.

Regulating the sale of ohssae.

The law passed by the last Legislature, and
which went into effect on August %, reguls >
ing the scale Of certain kinds of cheese
known as filed cheese, may cause trouble
unless grOoers and others who sell it are not
careful. Some time ago fifteen samples were
selected in as many grocery stores in Harris
burg, but Of these only six were labeled ae-
cording to law. Every seller who COOS not
comply with the law is subject to fine. The
standard required for full cream cheese is
thirty-two per cent. Of butter fat. Only two
of the ffteen samples came up to that test

Agricultural Department to prosecute or un-
necessarily harass Dealers but it is sending
out these notes of warning that they may
guard themselves against the neglect or the
frauds Of the manufacturers.

Peculiar Character Of Snake Poison.

According to the remarkable re-
searches in this line by Professor CAL
mette, the peculiar fact appears that
the physiological effects of the poisons
secreted by different species of snakes
are identical; the individual variations
in action are local, and result from the
presence of albuminoid substances,
which can be removed by heating the
aqueous solution of the venom to 80
degree centigrade for fifteen minutes,
a process which leaves the toxins I'M
affected. The degree of toxicity de-
ponds, of course, upon the snake, and
can be considerably diminished by III
tering. Professor Calmette finds that
the serum of animals vaccinated
against very virulent venom, such
as that of the cobra, is perfectly anti
toxic to the poisons of all kinds OF SER
pents, and even of scorpions. His
serum consists in injecting horses with
increasing doses of cobra venom mixed
with decreasing quantities OF weak
solution of calcium hypochlorite
which limits its toxic action; the AMI
NAL being immunized, is then injected
with the poisons of as many different
kinds of snakes as possible.-New
York Tribune.

Photographers Plan to Please.

An upper West Side photographer
has discovered a "Klondyke" right
here in town, and he is working 1t for
all it's worth. He has hit upon plan
to please his patrons, and, incidentally,
to fiji his Golfers with rich-pay gold, or
its equivalent. In his studio he has a
stuffed horse posed in gallop attitude.
The animal is affixed to platform,
the surface of which is nicely con-
GREETED. A Central Park scene is in the
background. Young and old women,
but particularly the former, who are
anxious to give their distant friends
the impression that they are well up In
eouestrianism, come to the studio in
battalions and have themselves photo
graphed in the act OF taking their
morning or afternoon canter through
the park. The artist has all sizes or
habits on hand to accommodate his
patrons. For those less ambitious, he
places a wheel in position, instead OF
the horse, and, with hiking suits to
match, the fair visitor may be depicted
scorching along the park drive.--New
York Commercial Advertiser.
