LEAGUE SLEUTH JAILED.
Harry Evans, One of Robert Wilson'S
Men, Held in Bail on a Charge
of Impersonating an Officer.

Harry Evans, Municipal League
detective, was arrested early yesterday
morning on Lackawanna avenue, by
Patrolmen Gemmel and Potter. He
was in company with a woman named
Mrs. Mary Williams, of Carbondale,
who is old enough to be his mother.
The officerst claim that both We're in
toXicated and We're making the rounds
of u number of saloons
When searched in the Centre street
station he was found to have a re-
volver and a club in his possession and
claimed that he had Il right to carry
them because he was a special officer
in the employ of the Municipal league.
A Tribune man happened into the
station house shortly before o'clock
yesterday morning and was hailed by
Evans.
Say" he said, "call up Robert Will
son. 1858, and tell him that Harry's S
Dnched."
Mr.. Wilson, who is the agent of the
Municipal league was not aroused
from his snmbers.
When arragned for a hearing before
Magistrate Howe yesterday morning,
Mrs Williams claimed that Evans had
flashed a star and by pretending to
be an officer had forced her to enter
saloons with him. She was discharged,
but Evans was fined s. for carrying
concealed weapons. He was then re-
arrested on a warrant sworn out by
Captain of Police Williams charging
him with impersonating an officer.
AT the second hearing he was repre-
Sented by Attorney l.. B. GrambS, of
counsel for the league. Agent Robert
Wilson, who was present, admitted
that Evans was employed by the Mu-
nicipal league to secure evidence. but
said that he had no commission as a
special officer to III knowledge. Evans
himself admitted that he had no COM
mission and was held in $500 bail,which
was later furnished.

The county commissioners have COM
pleted the compilation of the bill for
witness fees and mileage in the Lang
staff Kelly election contest. 1t
amounts to s21,5S9.32. This will make
the total cost of the contest $65, ,22S AZ.
This total may be decreased to some
extent. Court has not as yet passed
upon the bills for serving subpoenas.
These bills as presented total $1S,239 10.
The constables claim so cents for
serving each subpoena and charge up
at least one mile for each witness.
Court may not agree to this method of
charging. The constables solemnly
aver, however, that they charged only
for the actual number of miles travelled
except in the cases where only one mile
is charged, 1t being necessary, under
the law, as they claim, to charge full
mile, there being no provision in the
law for charging the fraction of mile.
There We're subpoenaed, all told,
about 20,0 900 witnesses. OF these $4,000,
in round numbers, responded and We're
examined. About $500 of them We're
called in twice or spent more than one
day at the examination. These $4,000
witnesses, who responded, Travelled, ac-
cording to the commissioners computa-
tion, 112,444 miles, or four and one
half times around the earth. Had it
not been that the examiners went to
Carbondale to examine the witnesses
from the upper end of the county, there
is no telling how many times the wit
nesses would have circled the globe.
Appended is an itemized statement of
the total cost:

cambridge, Ga, July 11.-Bainbridge
did herself proud yesterday in the
celebration of the completion of the
Georgia, Florida and Alabama Rail-
road TO Tallahassee. There was a big
excursion all along the line, several
hundred people coming from Tallahas-
see. A great ovation was rendered
Capt. j. P. Williams, the president of
the road, by an immense multitude of
people. Speeches of welcome were de-
livered by Hon. John E. Donaldson,
Hon. Ben Nussbaum, Mr. Erie Mel
drim Donaldson and Hon. Ben Russell,
which were responded to by DR.. ]. w.
Moore and ex-Chief Justice George P.
Raney of Florida. The speech of the
day was that of President Williams, in
which he convinced the great audience
that the new road would live and flour
ish despite the effort of competing lines
to throttle it.
great barbecue and picnic dinner
followed, and everybody went away
happy. Another feature of the day was
a basebalk game between Quitman and
cambridge, the score being to In
favor of the latter.

charm for these members of the ophi-
dian family. Whenever a thunder
storm comes up these snakes come
crawling out of holes, from behind
rocks and rotten stumps and enjoy the
fun while IL lasts.
THE coach whip is remarkable for
! its tremendous length and surprising
speed. 1t is cream or clay colored,
very much like the hard-baked prairie
over which it glides, is very long. and
| II scales are arranged In such a man
ner that they closely resemble the
plated leather of a whip.
Not endowed with poison, II has
tremendous power of construction. 1t
forms its body into coils which are
capable of crushing sheep, dogs. and
coyotes.
when / was in Lower California in
1890 was told by a Mexican peon that
he had a 10-year- old boy squeezed 20
death by a coach whip few years be-
fore. The man said that on another
occasion his wife was attacked by a
coach whip which threw it's coils
about her quicker than she could see.
"She was too frightened to do more
than scream and fall to the ground.
when her daughter came running up
and quickly released her by merely
unwrapping the snakes tail. Strange
as this may seem, it rs very easy way
TO release a victim in the coach-whip
snakes grasp, for while the reptiles
constructing powers are abnormal a
child may unwrap the coils by begin
ming at the tail"
"Do you believe that snakes have
the power to charm animals?'
Yes, there is a certain power TO
fascinate in a snakes eyes and move
ments. / saw only the other day a
typical illustration of the power of
a snake to fascinate.
"Over in the pine woods 1 saw a
ground squirrel fascinated by a black
gopher snake. The forked tongue
darted out of the snakes mouth al
most as regularly and rapidly as the
needle of sewing machine rises and
falls. The squirrel seemed to watch
it spellbound. The snake crept slowly
nearer.
when the gopher snake was within
two or three inches from the squirrel
1t gave leap and threw three coils
about the squirrel. Instantly the spell
was gone. The fascination of charm
there had been over the little animal
was no doubt broken the very mo-
ment the serpsnt's coils were about
the squirrel. for the animal gave three
convulsive. terrified chirps and realized
that its death moment had come.
Il believe implicitly that all snakes
have a certain degree OF power to fas-
cinate their victims to death. Black
snakes, gopher snakes, and racers have
the power to large degree. Rattle
snakes have the most fascinating pow
er among all the poisonous serpents In
the Southwest.
THE indications of charming among
poisonous snakes are deceiving some
times. Poisonous snakes fang their
prey once only. The poison does not
kill at once.
1.-THE victim fiutters to a branch, 1t
may be, or runs a short distance and
stops. The snake watches it. The
poison does its deadly work, and the
bird falls.
ANY one who comes up, not having
seen the attack. might be readily de-
ceived into imagining that 1t was the
glance OF the snake and not the poison
that caused the victim to fall
