DEATH ON ALL SIDES.
THRILLING ADVENTURE IN A PENN
SYLVANlA LOGGING CAMP.

Engineer Fennel Finds Himself Sbut Tn
In an Engine Room with an Overworked
Boiler and Two Big RattIesnakes His
Rapid Action Saves His Life.
News OF thrilling adventure had by
Patrick L. Fennel, who recently left his
home, in Montgomery, 20 miles east of
Wllllamsport, Pa, to work in Susuue-
hanna county, has been received. Fen
mel, who is an engineer, went up into
the lumber woods of Susquehanna coun-
ty to run an engine in a sawmill When
he arrived IL camp, he found that the
sawmlll had been in disuse about ten
years, Among the machinery left in the
old mill were a boiler and stationary
engine. They were in bad shape, but
Kennel got them ready for business.
The other day Fennel fired up to test
the boiler and engine, and then went
away to another part of the mill He
was delayed some, and returned to find
the boiler was generating steam with
startling rapidity- He rushed into the
boiler house, the door closing after him
with bang. The door fastened on the
outside with a hasp and drop hook, and
the jar caused the hook to drop into the
staple, making Fennel prisoner AL
though tested to only 100 pounds, the
steam gauge showed that the boiler had
already generated ITO pounds and the
qulverlng hand on the steam gauge was
mounting higher and higher That the
boiler was liable to explode at any mo-
ment Fennel well knew. He glanced at
the safety valve and was startled to see
that it had become fastened in some
manner and refused to work.
He was about to climb up to loosen
the refractory safety gauge when his
eyes beheld sight from which he drew
back Around the safety valve, Just
where he was about to grasp it with his
hand, was coiled big rattlesnake,
while two other reptiles of the same
species lay on the floor of the boiler
house. They had evidently been drawn
from their hiding places in the wall or
floor of the old boiler house by the
heat. The quivering hand of the steam
gauge told Fennel only too plainly that
the pressure Oh the boiler was becom-
ing terrific. But he could not pass the
serpents and reach the boiler, neither
could he get out of the door. The only
means of exit was a small window, and
to reach this he would have to pass the
snakes. Near by stood an iron bar used
in clearing out the fire, and grasping
this he crushed the head of the serpent
nearest him. The other snake coiled
about his leg and struck viciously, fas-
tening its f;ugs into his rubber boot. A
blow with the bar crushed the snake on
the safety gauge, and then came strug-
gle to remove the one around his leg.
Pressing down the bar the snake coiled
around it for a second, leaving two
folds around his leg Quick as flash
he snapped the snake in two, and then,
with the iron bar, knocked off the safe
ty valve.-New York Herald.

what Riders Earn.

IL. discussing the incomes that profes
SIGNALS get, G. NJ. Murphy says that
leading racing men can readily earn
from So, 600 to So, 900 year, including
salaries and prizes. The average salary
paid ranges from $500 to $4,000 for
the season of six months, while in some
cases a crackerjack will receive as high
as So, 600 or So, 500. The salaries paid
to professionals are less than when class
B racing was i'll existence Another re-
duction in the riders receipts is due to
the fact that, while i'll years past they
would receive 50, 600 a season for using
a certain make of wheel, from $50 to
$35 per week from the firm and salary
from saddle makers, manufacturers
now sign men to ride wheels as equip

A WOLF CURE.
Alarming Scheme Proposed to Rid WyO
ming of Ravenous Beasts.

Alarming Scheme Proposed to Rid WyO-
ming of RavenOus Beasts.
Wyoming ranchmen for long time
have been trying to devise schemes for
exterminating the wolves which destroy
thousands of young cattle yearly. Boun-
ties on scalps were found to be too slow.
Emil Stritz has finally arranged a
plan of incubation that he says will
soon destroy all the wolves in the west
He has poison which, when introduced
into the blood of wolf, produces by
drophobia within ten days. He has cap
tured number in traps and has expert
mented with them.
He has released number of them,
and wolves showing signs of hydro
phobia have been seen in various places.
The inventor is working to have the
Stocklnen's association contract with
him for the determination of all the
wolves in the state.
The only obstacle to the agreement is
the young mans inability to give the
stockmen assurance that the wolves will
not in turn bite the stock and spread
the disease all over the range, with the
most disastrous results. Chicago Rec

Aboriginal Caves In Kentucky.

Two caves of a size to make them i'm
portant were found in Kentucky last
week. One is in the Chaplain river bot
toms, a few miles southwest Of Law
1enceburg, and the other on the old
Ellis place, near Milldale. The first con-
tains many stone relics, and some dis
lance from the entrance has nicely nm
ished room of ordinary dimensions. 1t
is walled with stone that has been
dressed, and the floor is composed OF
solid rock. The work is doubtless that

Ohio Mammoth Cave.

A large cave in the vicinity of Flat
Rock, o., was partially explored for the
first time a few days ago. The explor-
ing party found that the cave is divided
into many chambers, the largest being
at least 900 feet long and 100 feet wide.
In another stalactites of crystal clear
ness were discovered. Each chamber
was lower than the former one, and
after going 5000 feet progress was
blocked by stream of water about so
feet in width, which is as cold as ice.
With limited supplies the party was I'M
able to explore farther.

Bradley Martins to Entertain Royalty.

Mr.. and Mrs Bradley Martin will
now attain the highest of their social
ambitions.
They may have suffered criticism
from the pulpit and were made to feel a
trifie uncomfortable over the cost of
that expensive ball, but what matters
this criticism now?
This ball has opened way for greater
social conquests, and the Bradley Mar
tins will soon be heard from in England,
when the Prince and Princess of Wales
are expected to visit them at their Scot
fish estates.
The Bradley Martins will sail for the
scene of their new conquests on March

D. veral Important Schedul Of the New
Tariff Bill Definitely Fixed.
WASHINGTON, Feb 6.-The daily ses-
sions Of the Republican members Of
the ways and means committee, which
have been in progress for about two
weeks, have brought the tariff bill to
stage where the character Of the meas
ure can be somewhat gagged and
where certain of the most important
schedules have been definitely fixed.
Four schedules have now been fairly
completed, the chemical, agriculture,
wines and spirits. and earthen and
glassware schedules. All of the rates
which have been decided upon are SUBJ
ject to change. The last meeting was
the most important of the series, for it
resulted in the framing Of the agricul.
tural schedule, which was made q
Enactment of the Mckinley Law
with few changes except on unimpor.
tant products. The most important
step in connection with the schedule
was the establishment of rates of $5 a
head on cattle more than l year old
and of % per cent ad valorem on cattle
valued at more than $40 head. The
Mckinley rates ON other live stock, in.
Guiding the rate of 81 on cattle of
year old or less are restored. Among
the products in the agricultural sched'
| ule which are returned to the Mckinley
rates are breadstuffs and rice, dairy
products, potatoes and starch, castor
beans and fiaxseed, meats and meat
products, eggs and poultry, vegetables
| and salt The demand of the farmers
for the Mckinley rate of 81 ton Oh

TO BE REFORMED
Decision of Considerable Signiti-
cante Rendered by the
Pope.
Taken to Mean That the Corp0r-
alton Plan of Holding
Property
Is to Be Substituted for the Fee
Simple Tenure Of the
Bishop.

DETROIT. Feb. 6. - The Evening
News learns that Mgr. Martinelli. the
papal ablegate at Washington, has re-
ceived and transmitted to Bishop Fo-
ley, OF this diocese, and to Rev. Chris
tian Dennison, rector Of st. Charles
church, Detroit, copies Of the decision
Of Pope Leo and cardinals Of the propa-
ganda in the celebrated "church farm'
case, and that Father Dennison wins
every point for which he contended.
The question at issue was whether
the title to the so-called church farm,
located in the eastern suburbs Of De-
troit, is vested in Bishop Foley or in
st. Charles church.
The cardinals of the propaganda. at
meeting in Rome Jan. IL decided
that the right to the property was not
vested in the bishop of Detroit for the
benefit of the diocese, but belongs to
Father Dennison as rector of st.
Charles, and was to be administered
for the benefit of ,parishioners in the
territory formerly known as lie Cote
du Nord Est"
Leo Added a Few Words.
The decision was referred to the pope
Jan 10. He approved it and appended
| these significant words: ------
| "This same decision shall remain in
force when the administration of the
diocesan funds shall pass to corpora
tion to be eventually established for
the holding Of the property appertain-
ing to the diocese"
Bishop Foley, as it were, inherited
this suit. as the questions decidedwer
made necessary through the acts of the
previous administration of the church
farm property. The Language Of the
pope in his confirmation of the decision
is held to mean that the corporation
plan of holding church property is soon
to be made an obligation, and that the
fee simple tenure by the bishop is to
be changed.
