1t may be interesting to note the fol-

which shows the total miles of track
east of Buffalo as 6,114.s1.
1t is, of course, generally known that
some of the Western lines have a great

number of sparsely settled States,
while the trackage of the New York

London, Nov An official
dispatch has been rec ived here
from General White giving the de-
tails of the capture of his left
wing on Monday. He says that
the was under command of Lieut.
Col. Carleton, who started for
Nicholson Mex. When nearing
that point the troops were surpris-
ed by having immense boulders
rolled down on them. and by heavy
rifle fire from the clefts of the
rocks. This caused stampede
of the artillery mules, the animals
rushing toward the enemy. Carle-
ton then stationed his men for de-
fense, and the enemy charged in
at close range. Two companies of
the Gloucester regiment were soon
forced to submit. At three O'Clock
in the afternoon the ammunition
was practically exhausted, and ca
pitulation followed
General White says that the fail
ure of the column was due to the
stampeding of the mules. He says
that the Beers treated the wounded
Englishmen with the greatest con-
sideration, and that the prisoners
have been sent to Pretoria.

Seeing Snakes.

Drunkards, and especially people suffer
ing from delirium tremens, "see snakes"
(says an eminent oculist) because Of the
presence in certain veins of the eye of
dark, pulsating blood, as result Of al.
coholism, which produces snakes in ap-
pearance and motion. Hitherto it has
been supposed that the 'snakes" which
men reported having seen in their alcoholic
delirium were simply creatures of the
imagination. Now we are told that these
hallucinations have an actual basis. Sta
tistics on this subject collected by the ocu-
list show that 90 per cent of the visual
hallucinations experienced in delirium
tremens consist of serpents in one form or
another

GETTING RID OF BUGS.
Science Comes to the Rescue of the
Housewife.

Science Comes to the Rescue of the
Housewife.
Herr Bernegau has earned the thanks of
all housekocpcrs for his long and exhaust
i've inquiry in regard to the real valuo OF
those substances hitherto upheld rs ctlica-
cious ms doStroycrs of reaches and other
domestic insect pests. The result has been
somewhat surprising, inasmuch as 1t has
shown that many of the most popular
remedies ON the market are practically of
little use. Insects werc caught and kept
in glass tubes, so that the effects could be
closely watched.
Fresh insect powder made bugs little
uncomfortable for awhile, but they soon
recovered and became rs lively as before,
apparently none the worse for the expert
cncc. When mixed with 10 per cent naph-
thalin. the powder killed few of the in
sects only Hydrogen hypcroxidc was a
fiat failure Formalin was quito effective,
but il costs too much and has unpleasant
effects ON the person applying 1t. Coal oil
was deadly, but IL has n bad odor and is
dangerous where contact with fire is pos
sible.
Herr Berncgau finally decided that tho
perfect insect destroyer is turpcntine oil,
either alono or with naphthalin. He rec
ommonds that the hauntS of the insects
should be gone over with turpcntine oil
and naphthalin, applied with brush.

their REPRESENTATIVE who voted for the
Republican candidate for United States
senator.
II is queer how the insurgents have
had the notion that they really have
represented a considerable section OF
the Republican party. Now that they
have leisure to look around they will
not be long in ascertaining what
blunder they have made.
Men who have used their influence
at Harrisburg to wreck the Republican
party certainly have no claim upon the
party. They did not succeed in wreck
ing the party but they have succeeded
in making political wrecks of them
selves, and the party will do well to
permit them to remain under the
wreckage.
That is apparently what the Republic
cans of Pennsylvania are going to do.
THE GOVERNOR AT WORK.
Governor Stone is still hard at work
upon the bills which were passed by
the last legislature and which were
left for him to act upon, He has shown
courage and discriminating considera-
tion of these important matters by
welding his veto ak with effect in
knocking out number of objection
able bills that were allowed to go
through the legislative mill during the
closing hours of the session. The legis-
lature was not unusually prolific in
turning out new laws, although there
were large number of bills of a
purely local character that got through.

Ships' Anchors,

Ships anchors cost from to cents a
pound, so that 5000 pound anchor,
which would be very large one, would
cost, oven at the lowest price, about 5000,
and the big ship that required an anchor
of that size would carry two of them. The
two big anchors carried by ship of, say,
1000 tons would weigh from $500 to 5000
pounds each
The anchors of merchant vessels arc
painted or tarrcd Whenever the vessel is
painted the anchors are painted also to
preserve them from rust, But on yachts
and various smaller pleasure craft galvan-
lied anchors are used which, of course,
do not require painting. Galvanized iron
anchors have been made for torpedo boats
in the navy; but, generally speaking,
their use is confined to pleasure craft. A
galvanized anchor costs nearly as much
again as one not galvanized.
Tho galvanizing preserves the anchor
from rusting and makes it moro slightly in
appearance, and it prevents the anchor
from dripping rusty water and SO staining
and marring decks or other surfaces with
which it might como in contact New

There Is popular movemtpt u
some of the eastern counties in favor
of the nomination of Manufacturer
Bosler, OF Montgomery, for state treas
Urer.
The reports that Colonel Quay favors
this or that candidate for state treas
urer are utterly without foundation.
The Beaver statesman has expressed
no preference for any one. He knows
that his friends will be in absolute
control OF the Republican state con-
vention, and he will cordially indorse
any candidate upon whom they may
unite.
DEMOCRATS AND INSURGENTS.
The Democrats are at sea as to what
they are going to do at their state con-
vention, which meets next month.
Nearly every Democratic judge on the
common pleas bench is candidate for
the nomination for the supreme court
vacancy, but there is not much being
done about the matter of selecting
candidate for state treasurer. Colonel
Guffey, who was here last week. is
anxious to know what Finn and the
other Republican insurgents are going
to do in the coming campaign. Guffey
thinks the insurgents should keep up
the alliance they had in the last legis-
lature, and turn in for the Democratic
nominee for state treasurer. He will
probably pick out one of the Demo-
cratic members of the house of repre-
sentatives with whom Finn was in
almost daily consultation at Harris
burg last winter. and thus make
bid for the insurgents support. 1t
makes little difference what the boilers
do at the coming election, the Republi-
can ticket is bound to be elected.
With a presidential election coming
of next year, Pennsylvania is not 60
ing Democratic this fall.
