big snake captured there on Friday, July
ID, by William Owens and o Hardy
and sold to a circus man by the name OF
Rooney, who lives in Alden street, Orange.
The snake that was captured by the two
men put up a fight before 1t was captured
and they had to use a club to get the rep
tile under subsection, and finally stunning
hil snakeship, they carried 1t to Isaac
L~ivingston's saloon, in North Park street,
East Orange, where it was measured
The snake was nine feet three inches IN
length and weighed about seventy-four
pounds.
The men were picking mushrooms on
that date when they came across the black
snake, which reared its head above the tau
grass and gave the pair a dizzy fright. Re-
covering their wits they set about cap
turing the snake, but the big fellow started
to glide away toward the marshy ground
and Owens made a grab for the reptiles
tail. while Hardy threw his coat over its
head. Then ensued a desperate fight, and
after stunning the snake the men got 1t in

JUST ESCAPED DEATH.

James ~Sarrantino, sr.. Of Middlesex
street. Harrison, ~Tniraculously escaped Sc
rious injury, IL not death, Saturday after
noon at the freight yard Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad in Harrison, while driving
"a horse and wagon. which was struck by
freight cars at that place, and the wagon
was demolished. The horse was also hurt
about the legs. About 5 o'clock Saturday
afternoon S~arrantino was driving along
,Dey street, Harrison. The rig went along
Jersey street. headed for First street,
east. just when the horse was crossing
the railroad tracks, it is alleged that a
box car collided with the wagon, showing
1t about ten feet away into another freight
car. which was standing nearby. Sarran-
tho seeing his peril, quickly jumped from
his seat to the ground. getting out Of dam
ger by a very marrow margin. The wagon
was crushed in between the two big cars
and the hind part of the animal was cut
badly. The reason the man was not seen
by the engineer, it is said, is the fact
that the cars werc being showed along by
the locomotive. causing the latter to be
behind the rest. The animal was taken
to the stable on Mlddlesex street, where
lit was fixed up.

denly found himself unable to continue
further and shouted for help.
His cries were heard by his comrades.
who began fr%antically to man a small
boat to go to his rescue. In the mean
time. however. a party of men and women
in a swift motor boat some distance away,
had heard his cries for help and started
toward him. AS the boat neared MIN,
the drowning man begged for aid and
while vet quite a distance from him, one
of the men threw him a life buoy which
fell short.
The large crowd watching the rescue
gasped when they saw that the buoy had
fallen short. but the next moment an
other buoy was thrown which fell close
to the drowning man and he had just
enough strength to grasp 1t and was rap
idly pulled aboard the boat, where he
was wrapped in blankets and restoratives
applied. and In a short time was taken to
his ~combapions, who worked over him
until he was fully restored.

PUBLIC SERVICE WILL GET
E. O. CONTRACT.
Move to Get Outsiders Interested in
Lighting That City Falls Flat.
NJ. o. Scheme Dormant.

The Public Service Corporation, 1t is
understood, will again receive the contract
for lighting the streets and public places
of East Orange, despite the strenuous eff
fort made by several members of the
city Council to get competing companies
from other cities to bid on the contract.
A resolution, it is said, will be intro
duced tonight at the meeting of the city
Council to have a three-Year contract
made with the corporation. with the priv
ilege of a renewal for two years more.
Under the renewal privilege some sort Of
a rebate is expected. The contracts Will
be signed later.
The fight for a lower figure was insti-
tuted this year by Councilman Saxelby,
of Hyde Park. East Orange, who has con-
structed many lighting plants. Mr.. Sax
elby first interested outside companies In
an EFFORT to have new figures presented,
but after several looked over the ground,
they failed to bid and the Public Service
stood alone in the field. 1t is said that the
idea of having a municipal plant is now
entirely dormant owing to the cost the
city would have to undergo In the laying
of underground onduits.
