Shouts a Warning.

Saunders heard the roar of the oncom.
ing express and shouted q warning which
cleared the track of those focking across
it to the standing local train, with the
exception Of Mrs. Stone and Mrs. Cos
grove. The latter saw the approaching
train and tried to assist her mother,
whose step was slow because Of age and
infirmities, to safety. When the express
was almost upon them the baggagemaster
leaped firm his coach and ran toward
them as if to drag them with him across
the tracks. The train caught the trio
squarely in the center OF the tracks and
hurled them thirty feet, mutilating their
bodies and splattering their blood upon
the clothing of half dozen or more
women who had narrow escapes.

lit Feet of Snakes Killed.

CNIONTOWN, Pa, April 11.-People
who Travelled the highway from Addi-
son to Listonburg saw III feet of snakes
laid along a board fence.
Tony Nicola and two sons killed nine
teen snakes in the cellar of a vacant
farmhouse. Never in that section have
that many large black snakes been
known to congregate in one bunch. Seven
black snakes measured fifty-two feet, or
more than seven feet each.
Eleven were females and in a short
time more than 100 young snakes would
have been added to the list. The males
are unusually savage at this season, and
had it not been for the timely arrival OF
the elder Nicola one of his sons might
have been killed, as two of them had
wrapped themselves around one arm and
one leg of the youth.

The result was astonishing. Hens that
