Ice on a POnd-TwO Boys
Were Drowned.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Sixty skaters,
including many women and children,
broke through the ice on a large
pond back of Evergreen cemetery,
Brooklyn, Sunday, and in the wild
struggle for life two boys were
drowned. The ice over the center of
the pond, where the water was deep
est, and where the skaters were as
sembled in greatest number, sudden
ly sank. The whole crowd was panic
stricken. Men and women fought to
save themselves and children suffered
in the unequal struggle. The screams
of the imperiled skaters was heard by
men employed in a factory nearby
and they ran to the pond. They
dragged long planks with them which
were pushed toward the center of the
pond. Along this footing a lifeline
was formed. Effort was made first
to rescue the women and children.
By twos and threes they were taken
from the water and hustled along the
planks to the shore. The police re-
serves and surgeons arrived in ambu-
lances and succored many of the half
drowned skaters.

VENEZUELAN TROUBLE
United States War Vessels May
Land an Armed Force There.
No Accurate Details of the Sink.
ing of the British SIOOp Maria
Teresa BY the Venezuela
GunbOat Miranda.

Fort de France, Island of Martin
ique, Jan. IS (via Haytien Cable).-
The attitude of the government of
Venezuela toward the Bermudez As
phalt Co. (American) is hostile. for
the reason that the concessions re-
Gently accorded by the government
have been given to people in touch
with the government and who would
like to resell them to the Bermudez
Co. The government having refused
to accede to the request of the Amer
lean minister, who demanded q sus-
pension of action on the part of the
new concessionists in taking posses
sion of their grants, strained rela-
tions between Venezuela and the
United States resulted, and war YES
sells are expected to return to La
GuaYra.
If the Venezuelan government en-
Dloys force to take possession of the
asphalt lake, it is believed the United
States auxiliary cruiser Scorpion will
and an armed force.
The attitude of the Venezuelans to-
ward Americans may be described as
hostile. On the 18th of this month
the Venezuelan troops in the Hoyo
barracks, at Caracas, mutinied and
killed their colonel, the lieutenant
colonel and seven men, and then fed
in various directions. Two hundred
and ten of the men were captured
again. There was no fighting in the
town, and the exact cause of the
mutiny is not known.
No accurate details are obtainablc
regarding the sinking of the British
sloop Maria Teresa by the Venezu-
elan gunboat Miranda. 1t is sup
posed the Maria Teresa was on her
way from the British island of Trim
idad with a cargo of arms intended
for the Venezuelan revolutionists,
and that she was met by the Miranda,
which, wishing to take possession of
her, fred upon the Maria Teresa and
by so doing set her on fire, after
which she sank, according to one re-
port. In the east the instruction APP
pears to be localized between Gu
mana and the extreme northeast of
Venezuela.
The insurgents have again taken
possession Of Cerupano, and during
the evening Of January 81 there was
tentative uprising in the neighbor-
hood of Barcelona.
Calm prevails in the west, but a
number of arrests are being made,
and the revolutionists appear to be
concentrating at Curacao.
The situation so far as it affects
the Bermudez asphalt group grows
more critical every hour. All the Ne
grOs and other laborers are menaced
and impressed by the local authori-
ties, or they deserted, thus leaving
the plant at the asphalt lake without
assistance.
The American colony in Venezuelo
continues to protest against the in
difference with which American lives
and interests are regarded.

sPLIcEs GREAT SNAKES.
Remarkable Accomplishment of a Yale Professor in ThiF
 Line.

Prof. Dickson, of Yale, camping on Indian Creek, Col, has demonstrated the possibility of welding two snakes together so that the bodies would unite and continue to grow as one, says the New York World.
 While it was admitted that human parts could be made to grow togeth- CT, it was contended that the slug gish circulation of the reptiles would initiate against success.
 A rattler was extended with an iron hoop circling his head. An ad- der was obtained and cut in two. The rattler was treated in the same way. The rear half of the adder was then sewed to the front of the rattler with a strong thread, and after 24 hours the iron collar was removed and the composite reptile was placed in a cage, where he squirmed around with every evidence of vitality in his neher end.
 The absence of the customary rat tie and warning puzzled the rattler when a rabbit was showed into the den. His supply of virus, however, was not diminished by his curtail- ment, for when he struck the rabbit it began to swell and in an hour was dead. The metamorphosed ratt]er will be kept under scientific scrutiny for the next two months.

The idea is to have appropriate eXer- cises, q grand reunion of all the peo- pie who at one time lived here and moved away, and possibly parade with other features.

Placing all the names together on a list they would amount to several hundred and it would be a glad sight to greet them all again on the village grounds The matter will surely be taken up later and probably more heard of the sub ject.
