Deaths From Snake-Bite and Other
Notes of Interest in snakedom,
From the Allahabad Pioneer.
The statistics of the number of snakes
killed during the years 1895 and 1886 afford
less scope for comparison, as some districts
as Delhi Rohtak Multan and Sialko+
have apparently taken advantage Of tho
recent decision of the local government
that it is not obligatory on district boards
and municipalities to pay rewards on
snakes at all. So that from $40, 279 S74
and 466 respectively they only paid on
Is, and 81 last year. 1t il to be remark
ed that the effect of stopping payment in
these districts has caused no increase in
the loss of human life. In Delhi and Sial-
kot the number of men killed by snakes is
about the same in each year. Tn Robtat
the deaths have certainly increased from
10 to 49, but, on the other hand. in NrnItsr

only 80 came to grief.

FIVE CHILDREN cREMATED.
Parents Attend Religious Meeting and
on Returning Find their Houss in
Fj1mes.

Flames.
OTTUMWA, Iowa, March 4.-Five:chil-
dren of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Penrod, at
Laddsdale, little mining town on the
Wapello and Davis County line, were
burned to death last night. Three were
cremated and two died few hours later.
They are: Henry Penrod, aged 10 years;
John Penrod, aged s years; Minerva PEN
rod, aged years; Ross Penrod, aged 4
years; Blaine Penrod, aged years.
The parents took the oldest child OF the
family, son aged IL, and a baby in the
arms of its mother. and went to a relig-
ious meeting, having first put the other
five children to bed. The schoolhouse,
where the services were held, was only
100 feet from the Penrod house. About 8
O. clock an alarm OF fire was given and
Penrod, with the other occupants of the
schooIhouse. rushed out to find his house
in flames.
1t was impossible to enter the building
as it was crum bling when Penrod reached
it. The cnildren's bed was by the win
dow, however, and Penrod burst the win
dow open and succeeded in pulling the s
and year old boys out. horribly burning
himself IN the act. The two never re-
gained consciousness, however. and died
in short time.
The others were burned until only few
bones we're found IN the debris of the
house. The Coroner's inquest threw no
light on the origin of the fire.

THE BLYTHE CASE
TO Be REOPENED
Justice Field Grants Con-
testants a Writ of
Error.
Mrs. Hinckley's Inheritance OF
Five Million Dollars Is
Involved.
The Celebrated Case Will NV Come
Before the United States Su.
preme Court.

WASHINGTON, D. G., March 24.-The
United States Supreme Court will reopen
the celebrated Blythe case. involving
Florence Blythe Hinckley's inheritance to
S., coo, 900. Yesterday the contestants, the
nearest legitimate relatives OF Thomas
Blythe, and now living in Kentucky and
Arkansas, through their attorney, Hon.
Jefferson Chandler of California, FLED an
application for writ of error, directed to
the Supreme Court of California, which
decided IN favor of Florence Blythe.
Justice Field, after consultation with his
associates Tin cham bers) to-day decided
TO grant the petition.
Mr.. Chandler was seen by The CALL
correspondent at the Riggs House to-
night. He was naturally very much
eIated over his success. He said:
1--WE applied for the writ of error on the
grounds that the California court which
awarded the property to Florence Blythe
had no Jurisdiction in the matter, and the
proceedings of the State court were void
because Florence was an alien at the time
of Biythe's death. She resided in Eng.
land, and did not come to this country
until two months after his death. There
fore she was Incapable OF taxing the prop
erty by descent.
I'VE alleged in our petition that the
California statute purporting to give
aliens the right to inherit is void, because
the whole subject of the rights of aliens
in this country is exclusively within the
jurisdiction of the Federal Government.
and the States have nothing to do with it.
Justice Field supported US in our con-
tention and the case will now be brought
before the full Supreme Court. If it takes
its regular course on the docket it may
not be reached for year or two. l ex-
pect, however, that at the October term
Mr.. Hart and the other attorneys for Mrs.
Hinckley will file motion to dismiss.
The writ of error directed to the Califor-
MIA Supreme Court is returpable in sixty
days. This latter simply means trans
fer of the records and does not change the
stains in California ~

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 24.-The
California Republicans In Congress had
another conference to-day and considered
numerous applications for appointment,
among them being those OF Jackson,
Spear. Eubanks. Beilingall and others
for Collector of Custom at San Francisco.
They decided to stand pat on Jackson for
Collector. The entire delegation, includ-
ing Loud, agreed to recommend Jackson,
and they will go to see President McKin-
ley tomorrow and submit Jackson's name
for the place.
The CALL correspondent understands
that Senator Perkins is determined that
his friend Jackson shall be appointed,
and that if the request of the entire Re-
publican delegation in Congress is ignored
and Spear appointed, they will make no
further requests of President Mckinley.
If Spear is appointed Senator Perkins will
try and defeat his confirmation by the
Senate. Senator Perkins tonight de-
clined to discuss this last possibility.
Certainly the President will not disre-
gard our advice" said he.
1t is understood here tonight that De
Young is bringing powerful influence to
bear on the President, and may get some
foreign mission, but he will not get what
he wants, for Draper of Massachusetts will
be appointed ambassador to Italy.
Representative DE Vries has peen as
sured by Chairman Loud OF the Postof.
fees and Postroads Committee that the
free delivery system will be esta ablished at
Marysville, CAL, by July next.

WoU1ded

GREENSBURG, IND, March 24.-George

years old. They ars members of promi-
nent and wealthy family. Miss Higgs,

families in the county.
About a year ago George Holmes began
paying his attentions to Miss Higgs and
he was favorably received. Last Christ
mas his brother Calvin returned from COL
lege and met the young lady at neigh
borhood dance They at once seemed
smitten with each other, and this aroused
the jealousy of the girls lover. Nothing
was known of his feelings, however, until
Sunday night, when Miss Higgs Tilted him
for his brother. A quarrel ensued. This
afternoon the brothers met in the road.

DEATH or DR. BURR.
He Designed the Monitor Which Ericsson
Improved With Revolving
7Urret

DETROIT, MICH, March 24.-Dr. Theo-
dore Burr d led at his residence here this
morning, aged 81 years. His career was
varied and most interesting.
During the Mexican war he served
under General Winfield Scott and reached
the rank of colonel before peace was de-
clared. During the Civil War he rendered
the North an inestlmable service, for
which he received little or no considera-
ton.
Plans for building an iron gunboat OF
an entirely new style had been forming in
his mind Tor some time, and the country's
great need caused him to hastily build a
model and carry it to Washington. The
steamer was constructed after Burr's
model, and when already for use was seen
by JOHN Ericsson, the famous inventor,
VINO conceived the idea of improving it
with revolving turret. Burr agreed to
the alteration, and the magnificent sue
cess OF the joint efforts of the Two men is
matter OF world wide fame.

1t is learned at the Foreign Office that
diplo.n relations between Great Britain
and Venezuela havenot yet been resumed,
ana that the question of their resum ption
is not likely TO ba discussed until the
Venezuelan arbitration tribunal has fin
ished its work.
DR.. Juan Piet-e. the present Venezuelan
Minister to Germany and Spain, the
foreign officials say, has not been credited
TO Great Britain.
The Westminster Gazette takes the Sem
ate's action as very Disappointing and
disconcerting result of all the efforts OF
Secretary Oiney and Lord Salisbury. The
anti-English feeling underlying the action
of the Senate, the paper adds, is the most
unpleasant aspect OF the matter.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that merely
to please sensational jingoism and SELL
Importance a promising plan has been
wrecked. In concluding the Gazette says:
I'VE firmly believe the Americans will be
more thoroughly ashamed of their Senate
than they ordinarily are, which is saying
a good deal"

LONDON, Enc, March 24.-It has been
reserved for trade union and question

porary organization of the most august
judicial tribunal that ever sat in this

to the crown. This tribunal. as constituted
by Lord Chief Justice Russell. will assem-
BILE early next month, and will consist OF
the House of Lords. the bench OF Lord
Justices of Appeal, headed by the Lord
Chief Justice and eight Judges OF the
Queens Bench.
The plaintiffs in the case are number
OF non-union boiler-makers, while the de-
fendant is the National Boiler makers
Union. year ago the union demanded
OF the Glengall Iron WORKS that it should
discharge all the non-union men in its
employ, and threatened in case of re-
fusal to withdraw all the union men from
the works.
The Glengall Company, having impor-
taut time contracts to fulfill complied
with the wishes of the union and the non
union men were thrown out. Thereupon
they brought suit against the union and
recovered damages for $25 600. The Judg-
ment was sustained in court after court
until 1T reached the House OF Lords.
Here 1t was again argued, but their lord
ships, in view of the Importance OF the
issue, were unable to reach a decision,
and therefore decided that the question
should be reargued and that the Lord
Justices of Appeal and the judges of the
Queens bench should take part in the
hearing and in form ulating decision.
