TRENTON, N. j.. Aug. 22.-John Hutchin-
son, a blaster at the workhouse quarries
along the Delaware River, had a midair
encounter with big pilot snake to-day
that resulted in the suspension Of all quarry
work for the rest Of the day. A hundred
auarrymen watched the fight unable to
give any assistance.
Hutchinson had been lowered over the
side Of the quarry and was suspended
about a hundred feet from the top and
seventy-five feet from the bottom Of the
hole when his attention was attracted
by a peculiar gliding movement on the
rope above him. First he thought that the
rope was giving way. but a moment later
he saw that the movement was that OF a
large pilot snake which had slid onto the
rope from a projecting crag and was lei
surely making its way In his direction.
Escape was impossible and Hutchinson's g
danger was increased by the fact that he
was carrying in his hand a stick Of dyna-
mite and small drill. He dared not drop
the dynamite for fear OF the consequences
and il was impossible for him to put up q
fight with IL in his hand. He managed

one and the snake continued its downward
course. The second blow was more sue
cessful and seemed to stun the reptile,
which still maintained It's hold on tho rope
