DROVE ENGINE
 WITH A RATHER
FERROUS ADVENTURE OF A LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER IN
 KENTUCKY.
With Poisonous Reptile Coiled About His Arm He Stuck to
 His Post.
Louisville Special.

Louisville Special.
 With a big rattlesnake coiled around his left arm and his right hand gripping the reptile just back of the head, which, spread agape, showed the pink forked tongue and the poison fangs that held certain and agonizing death. Engineer Johnie Clark of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad guided his train over the Kentucky Central branch of the Louis- vile and Nashville. The brave engineer knew that to quit his post would mean wreck and endanger the lives of the passengers, so he held the reptile at bay with one hand while he manipulated the lever with the other, despite the fact that the eavy coils of the reptile wound about his arm made it difficult for him to move Finally he brought the train safely to it's next station, and after stopping it put his dreaded companion to death in a unique manner.
 Clark was bringing No. II down from Paris to Rowland. Between Lancaster and Paint Lick are two tunnels, both located in remote and rocky section. In the high ledges and crags the rattlesnake, or. as the scientist terms it. the crotalus horridus, makes Its lothsome den.
 A Surprised Engineer
 On Monday a week ago a rattlesnake appreciating the hygienic value of a sun bath, coiled itself on one of the rocks just above the longest tunnel. Clark brought No. Il through, and just as his cab pass ed the snake, dislodged from its post by the jar or having fallen in fright. landed in the cab. Seeking to escape, 1t ran up the reverse lever. and before Clark had realized its presence had coiled about the, engineers left arm.
 It was fortunate for Clark that tba reptile did not attempt at once to strike If it had it would have meant the end or Clark and the probable destruction or the train. But the snake, after wran- ping around Clark's arm, swayed to and ITO moment, fixing its stony eyes on the engineer The coils frightened, the neck arched. the jaws slowly opened and Clark heard the buzz of the rattles
 At that sound Clark realized that if was time to do something and gripped the snake just below the head with his free hand. iee
 His first thought was to tear the rept;Ie off and throw 1t from the cab but witb one arm held by the snake and the other engaged with its head he could not do thls' His train was also jumping over tne ralls at rapid speed on a rough part fthe road and he knew he could not take any chances.
 Stemed Reptile to Death.
 Mile after mile sped bv witb c,,or,- keeping off the snake and running his train' Rowland was near and if he could reach the station and stop the train he would be able to finish the rattler. The hreman' terror-stricken by the very sipht ol the rattIer, was back on the tender not daring to enter the cab.
 Rowland drew near and Clark reversed lhe lever The train slackeaed its speed ana the enginer brought it to a stop at

psychopathic treatment. He arrived here 0 week ago and this was his second attempt to end his life.
 Several days ago he asked to be permitted to shave himself and the request refused. When a barber arrived, however, he seized the razor and gashed at his own throat. infiicting two wounds before he could be disarmed. These wounds were being treated by Dr. John Rogers. who used carbolic acid for antiseptic purposes.
 Yesterday morning Dr. Rogers entered the room occupied by Jordan to dress his wounds. The patient was in bed. apparently sleeping.
 Dr. Rogers set the carbolc acid bottle on a table and turned his back he prepared his bandages. Jordan stealthily slipped from his bed drained the contents of the poison bottle and regained the bed before his action had been discovered
 Jordan lay with the covers draw mover his face when the physician turned to him and did not make a movement or utter sound. despite the fearful pain he suffered.
 Despite all efforts to counteract the effect of the deadly draught with antidotes and stomach pump. the patient died in thirty min utes after great suffering.
 The body will be sent to Ryland today None of the patients relatives is in the city.

JOHN TAYLOR IS GAME.
Beats Wanscott After Accident in
 Third Heat


 Detroit, July 22.-Sunset this evening found the Merchants and Manufacturers $1O0O0 stake for PA class trotters, the feature of the Blue Ribbon meeting of the Detroit Driving Club at the Crosse Pointe track still unfinished. with two heats each to the credit of Wainscott, the decided favorite, and John Taylor.
 John Taylor's victory over Wainscott in the fourth heat, after an accident in the third heat, in which Taylor collided with two horses then kicked loose from the sulky and ran three-quarters of a mile, was the surprise of the afternoon and one of the most exciting heats in the his- tory of the stake. There were only the two horses in the fourth heat, the rules of the stake providing that only heat winners shall start after the third heat. Seven thousand persons were present at the track.
 Wainscott led all the way in the third heat in which the collision ocurred. The horses were just turning off the back stretch when John Taylor and Hie Boy collided Rabizola was close behind and ran into the other two. Taylor's su,ky was wrecked and the horse kicked 1t off and ran the rest of the mile alone. Robizola and He Boy were caught immediately. None of the drivers or horses was in- jured to any extent. After the accident, every one supposed that the fourth heat would be a mere formality with Vain scott winning easily. Instead, John Fay Tor challenged the stallion from the start and assuming the lead at the first turn maintained it to the finish, where he was greeted with tremendous cheers.
