Another Church Riot in bridgeport,

Bridgeport, Conn. April 5.-Trouble
has again broken out at St. Johns
Slovenian Catholic church, in this city,
and yesterday Rev. Father Formauek
was obliged to call for police protec-
mass. During the past week he has
been threatened with violence, and
stones have been thrown at his resi-
dence. Some of the windows of the
church have also been broken. The
trouble is of long standing. Members
of the parish desire Father Formauek
removed, but the bishop will not grant
their request. The malcontents declare
that they will not allow him to conduct
any more services in the church.

Magnificent Peaches.

Saturday afternoon GRAPHIC
reporter visited the County Tx
position building, and there he saw
some peaches which for size and
beauty cannot be excelled anywhere.
These peaches were grown in Ark
ansas, and in Jefferson County.
There are a number of varieties and
were grown in several different
parts of the county. One lot were
grown in the orchard Of Mr.. Angus
Mcneil, at Redhel6 Another lot
came from the orchard of Mrs, b.
r. Donelson, at Pastoral, and still
another from the home of MIR. ].

peaches are very large, perfect as

we are assured for we did not
nave one TO sample The peach
crop in Jefferson County, this
season, was never better, but IN
fortunately, very little attention
has been given to orchards, and
very few trees of a good quality Of
fruit are to be found in the county.
Those who have good fruit raise
it for home consumption, so that
the peaches which are sold in this
market are shipped here from
abroad.

A FREAK OF NATURE

A Mr. Willis, Of Gass county, was
here yesterday with a six-year-old
child who had head on its sholders
twice as large as its body. The
head measured from the chin to the
hair 10 inches, and was 80 inches
around in the largest place. The
head weights Is pounds while the
body only draws the balance down
at is pounds. The child is compell-
ed to lay on its back at all times,
and is sad sight to behold. The
father is a poor man and has the
child over the Taylor Grocery Com
pany where those who are disposed
to look at such sights can see. He
does not make any charge but would
gladly receive donations or any of

SERPENT POISON.
The Venom of the Cobra Is Deadly Al
most Beyond Belief.


most Beyond Belief.
1t was in the autumn of 1891 that
Calmette, while acting as director Of
the archaeological institute of Saigon,
Cochin China, first commenced his ex-
periments ON the naturalization of SER
pent venom in the animal system. He
had exceptional opportunities in the
matter Of serpent venom wherewith to
carry out his Investigations, inasmueh
as band of cobras had recently attacked
village in the vicinity of Bao-Lieu,
and by order Of the governor of the dis
trict no fewer than 90 specimens of the
terrible Naja tripudians, or cobra de ca
pello, were forwarded in a barrel to the
institute.
Forty of these reptiles arrived alive,
and several were at once sacrificed to
secure their venom glands. Each gland,
resembling both i'll size and shape a
shelled almond, contains about 80 drops
Of venom, and in this transparent limp
id liquid is embodied a toxine of extraor-
binary strength. As is well known, this
cobra is the most dreaded of all serpents,
and it is widely distributed over India,
Burma, Sumatra, Java, Malacca and
Cochin China. Until Calmette, however,
set to work to Systematically study the
nature Of this reptile s venom, but little
precise or reliable information had been
obtained as to its character. It was, Of
course, necessary in the first instance to
ascertain, within as narrow limit as
possible, the exact degree of toxic power
inherent in the venom, and to deter
mine, if possible, the precise dose lethal
in respect of each variety of animal ex
perimented upon.
A correct calculation of the quantity
Of venom required in every case was,
however, found to be quite impossible,
for so virulent is the poison that sin
gle drop of an emulsion produced by
pounding up glands in 800 grams
Of distilled water is sufficient, when in
troduoed into the vein of rabbits ear.
to kill it in five minutes. All the mann
mails to which Calmette administered
this cobra venom, such as monkeys.

to the size of the dose. -Longman'a

HoT SPRINGS. August This city
was thrown into fever OF excite
ment this afternoon at 5 O'Clock ON
account Of a difficulty between Pres
ident c. n. Rix, OF the Arkansas
National Bank, and Col. John J.
Sumpter prominent citizen and in
surunce man.
Bad blood has existed for some
time between Sumpter and Rix on
account of business transactions.
It appears that the former owed
the latter a considerable sum of
money ON account OF endorsements
and funds advanced. secured by
mortgages on real estate.
The trouble was precipitated ON
account Of an effort by Mr.. Xix to
enforce the collection of the amount
due by closing out mortgages.
Col. Sumpter approached him in
the street With the statement that
he understood he (Rfx) had said
that he would not believe him on
oath.
Mr.. Rix denied makIHa such state
ment, whereupon Col. Sumpter as
sailed him with a dirk, inhicting
several wounds before bystanders in
terfered and stopped the difficulty.
Both parties are prominent and
have many friends, and it Is feared
further trouble will follow.

The Peacock at Homo.

The real home of the peacock OF pea
fowl is in India. There they were and
are hunted, and their flesh is used for
food. AS the birds live in the same re-
gion as the tiger, peacock hunting is a
very dangerous sport. The long traiA of
the peacock is not its tail, as many sup
pose, but is composed of feathers which
grow out just above the tail and are
called the tail coverts. Peacoeks have
been known for many hundred years.
They are mentioned in the Bible. Job
mentions them, and they are mentioned,
too, IN I Kings K. Hundreds of years
ago in Rome many thousand peacocks
were killed for the great feasts which
the emperors made. The brains of the
peacock were considered great treat.
and many had to be killed for single
feast. st. Nicholas.
