frog hunting in Gregory's Swamp. south

his coat on the limb of tree. When he
returned and put the coat on, two or three
hours later he noticed that it was unusu-
ally heavy on one side. He put his hand
in the coat pocket to see what caused the
weight. and felt something bite his finger
and a burning pain fash up his arm. He
clutched the object that had bitten him
and jerked 1t out of his pocket. 1t was a
curiously marked black and yellow snake.
about two feet long, of a species unknown
to Morrison. 1t had bitten him in the
second joint of the second finger of the
right hand, 4-'
Morrison dropped the snake on the
ground and killed 1t. sHe ran a mile and a
half to a doctors house, which he reached
in an exhausted condition. The hand and
arm had swollen toe almost twice their

New York. June s4.-The Rev. DIR. Daniel
Moreiie. seventy years old. a retired Epis-
copal clergyman and member OF promi-
nent North Carolina family. was said to
be dying today at the Roosevelt Hospital,
where he was taken yesterday morning
from hIs home. 22S West End Avenue, suf-
fering from the effects of a gas suffocation.
He was found IN an unconscious condition
By neIghbors. and since he has been at the
hospital there has been no apparent change
In his condition.
DR.. Morelle's wife. whose address was
given al the hospital as l39 East Eigh-
teenth Street could not be found this
morning II was said that she had only
spent a few days in the Eighteenth Street
house. and that she had left yesterday.
At the hospital it was said that Mrs. Mo-
relle had made only one call at the hos
pi,al. At the Eighteenth Street house she
left no information as TO her address for
the future Dr. Morelle had given a mort
gage on his house furnishings and Tuesday
IL was foreclosed. At the house in West
End Avenue today there was no sign OF
life. Through the half-turned blinds il
could be seen that the rooms were devoid
of furnishings. and only a few papers were
scattered about the floors. The auction
eer had cleared the house Of everything
movable.
DR.. Morelle for some years conducted a
school for boys in Wilmington, y. c., and
acted as deacon in St. James Episcopal
| Church there. There are in New York
nov men who studied under him there and
| who were willing to have helped their
| aged preceptor had they known that he
was in poor circumstances. Some of them
called at the Roosevelt Hospital this
morning to see what they could do for
| him. only to learn that DR.. Moreile was
perhaps past human aid.
DR.. Morelle and his wife lived in the
| South until a short while ago, when the
clergyman decided TO come to this city to
open a school 10 prepare young men who
were about to enter Columbia College.
| With this in view he took the house in
| West End Avenue last April.
| II appears that Mrs. Morelle remained
with her husband until the furniture was
! sold en- Tuesday. and that then she went
out to look for a boarding place.
The neighbors did not see DR.. Morelle
| after Tuesday until yesterday morning,
| when a servant in the house next door
smelled gas escaping from the Morelle
house. When a door was forced the dis

house were turned on. The house was SO
| full Of gas that 1t was some time before
L could be cleared.
