Deadly Snake Venom.

The question has been asked which is
the most powerful poison. So far as is
known, snake poison consists of peptone
which produces local liberation, an un-
known virulent substance which causes
infiltration of blood when injected into the
tissues and an albumen which is not ap-
parently poisonous. When snake venom
is concentrated by removing the third sub
stance and retaining the other two, what
is left constitutes the most powerful poi
son known to toxicology. 1t is 40 times
more powerful than the original snake
venom. 1t has been reckoned that a sin
gle thimbleful of it suitably applied would
be enough to kill %, 600 people.

Hitched His Sled to Railway Train.

Saturday morning when train No. II on
the c. N. X. and W. railroad pulled in at
Nunda, n. Y, Oscar Cain, aged about 16
years, with several other boys, had the
large double deck coaster Fleetwood near
the back coach
Some one suggested to Cain to hook the
coaster on the train and take a ride.
Young Cain, who is always looking for ex-
element, did not hesitate moment, but
hitched the coaster fast to the iron rails at
the back of the coach. When the train
started, he jumped on the coaster, and
when he thought he had ridden far enough
on the ties he tried to release the rope
which held the coaster to the train, but to
his horror it WAS fastened too securely.
The longer he remained on board the faster
the train went, so finally he rolled off the
deck to save his life. He slid on his face
on the snow covered ties for several feet,
but without injuring himself in the least.
Directly after he fell off Conductor Hen
derson noticed the coaster dangling behind,
and cut the tastcnings. 1t was very mar

BURGLAR CONFESSES.
OSCAR PETERS ROBBED DAVIS g. no.
ZIER's STORE ALONE.
Made "a Full Confession to Jailer SIade
and Told Where the Stolen
Goods We're.

Oscar Peters, who was arrested at
Smithville last Tuesday for burglarizing
Davis d Dozier's store, has made full
confession to Jailer Slade.
Peters confession was made last We'd
nesday, and he duplicates no one as con-
nected with him in the burglary. Accord
ing to Peters statement, he had no con-
tederate in the'crime. He said that he
reached Dawson on the night of the
burglary at 10 o'clock, and broke into
the store at II. The brace and bit he
used in boring through the door were
stolen from shop near Parrot, and the
axe he left at the scene of the crime was
stolen from negro house near Dawson.
When arrested Peters had on full suit
of the stolen goods and $500 of the stol-
n money were in his pocket. His other
booty, Including about $50 of the 81 that
were stolen, he said was in the possession
of negro named Jack Allen, who lives
in Sumter coanty about four miles from
| Ameri6us.
Messrs. W. Fl. Davis and G. W. Dozier
went to Aliens Friday to recover the
goods and money but upon arriving
there Allen deuied having them or knom-
ing anything of their whereabouts. Since
returning home, however, Messrs. Davis
& Dozier have received a letter from a
party working the case in Sumter conn
ty stating that sack of clothing had
been recovered, and they now hope to
get the money.
Peters is the negro who burglarzed
the store of G. B. Daniels last spring
There is true bill against him for that
crime, and be will now have to answer
to two serious charges.
