DAILY ENQUIRER- SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE *26, 1886. A FATAL EXPLOSION. The Mini Urn in of u fottim Pitih IIIioih Out, klllinicTuo Mi'll. Nkw Oki.kans, Julio 23,—At m o’clock thiu morning the mild drum of the lntcr- iiatiniiHl cotton press exploded with 11 loud noise and fatal efleet. Bricks and portions of the machinery were blown in all direc tions, and the smoke and steam Issued from all parts of the engine room. As soon as the steam escaped and an investi gation could he made, it was learned that a colored fireman, Adolpheus Clark, and George McCann, a white boy sixteen years of age, had been fatally scalded. Clark was found on the floor of the boiler-room bathed in scalding water, while McCann had been blown on the sidewalk. Clark was terri bly burned about t he hend, back, face and lower limbs, scarcely any portion of his body escaping contact with the hissing steam. McCann, In addition to numerous scalds, was struck on the head by a flying brick, and received other Injuries. The sufferers were taken to the hospital, where they lingered in great agony. In a few hours death put an end to their suffering. At the time of the explosion a street cor filled with passenger was passing the press, and a current of steam, mud and bricks was thrown across the street through the open doorway of the press within ten feet of the car. No one was hurst, hut it j was n narrow escape, and the passengers were badly frightened. The cause of the explosion is unknown. There was not much pressure upon the boilers at the I time, and the engineer says they contained j a plentiful supply of water. The damage . to the press by flic accident is aboutflOOO. EFFECTS OF A SNAKE BITE. I The Victim Writhes TiiIsIkmhI IIIhscm I.Ike a Scriiciil. Nkwark, ()., June 22. A terrible story i of suffering from snake bite is related by the attending physician. On Friday last Mr. John Taylor, a farm hand cm played bv Mr. Samuel Stewart, while cutting weeds, stooped to remove a rail. He fell a sting Oil his right wrist, lie jerked his arm, and there hanging to hi* ivrist was a large blowing viper, one of the most veno mous snakes. Mr. Taylor shook it off, and it then started after him. He ran to the house. He tied his arm with a silk hand kerchief, and thus obstructed the flow of j blood, and carrying of the poison through the system for a time. Shortly after he was ' attacked with a paroxysm , which lasted thirteen minutes, dur ing which he writhed and twisted, darting , liis tongue, hissing and otherwise acting like a snake. Four men could not hold him, and he had to be tied to a bed. Again yesterday he had another spasm, which lasted only one hour, and last night one lasting forty-five minutes. One of these I spasms was liroughl on by his w ife littering him green pens, the sight of which pro- , duced convulsions. He cannot hear the : sight of anything green. II is one of the I worst eases on record, hut by the free use of whisky il is expected to save his life, al though the sufferings of the man areal- most indescribable, resembling somewhat that of hydrophobia, except that he can j swallow without difficulty. FROM DEATH TO LIFE. Sliigiiliir f\|M'ricii if mi A veil clti/.in of rthilim. K,i. Chicago, li.i... June 22. A singular story has reached here from Clinton, Ivy. George O. Daniels, of that place had been ill for several mouths, and last Wednesday, to all appearance, died. The remains were incased in a casket where they remained for twenty-four hours, awaiting the arri val of relatives to attend the funeral. At midnight Thursday the watchers who : surrounded the coffin were startled by a deep groan emanating from the coffin, and all but ones a Ger- lpan named Wabbeking, precipitately rushed from the room. Wabbeking re mained, and as the groans and sighs eon- tinned he raised the colfiii lid and saw at a glance that Daniels was alive. Seizing the body he placed it upright. A few spies- j motfic gasps, a shudder, and tlie corpse spoke aloud. The relatives returned to find the man sitting in a chair and conversing with reasonable strength. Mr. Daniels j claimed to have been perfectly conscious of everything which passed around him j but says that lie was unable to move a inns- J cle. Ho heard the sobs of his relatives i when he was pronounced dead by the doe- j tors, nnd noticed the preparations for the > funeral. He is about 80 years of age. A Selillcr’N lliiue. General Sherman says in his ‘-Memoirs! "I can see in memory a beautiful young city-bred lady, who iiad married a poor second lieutenant and followed him to liis post on tile plains, whose quarters were ill a ‘dug-out,’ ten feet by about fifteen, seven teet high, with a dirt roof; four feet of tile walls were of the natural earth, the other j three of sod, with holes for windows and corn-sacks for curtains. This little lady j had her Saratoga trunk, which was the i chief article of furniture, vet, by means of 1 a rug on the ground floor, a few \ candle-boxes covered with red cotton I calico for scats, a table improvised out of a barrel-head, and fire-place and chimney excavated in the hack wall or bank, sin- had transformed her-hole in the ground’ into a most attractive home for her young ! warrior husband, and slu- entertained me with a supper consisting of tlie la-st of! coffee, fried ham, cakes and jellies from the commissary, which made on my mind 1 an impression more lasting than have any j one of the hundreds of magnificent ban- j quets I have since attended in the palaces and mansions of our own and foreign ' lands.” Tin* Girls Ahead. The Chicago Inter-Ocean calls attention ' to the fact that in a very large proportion I of the educutionai institutions ot the United 1 States which are open to both sexes the honors of till' graduating classes have been i taken this year by young women. This is a fact of deep and growing significance, i Apart from its powerful influence for good in teaching the equality of the sexes and their need of like opportunities for mental improvement, it must tend to make young men in our high schools, academics and I colleges more industrious and faithful in their work. Some of them will always he ! ashamed to let the physically weaker sex eclipse them, and will consequently he spurred on to greater exertions than the'- would otherwise make, while another and ; probably larger element would do better justice to tlieir opportunities simply be cause their parents and teachers will not tolerate failurt where girls succeed. As tlie coeducation of the sexes becomes more general there will surely lie better study ing and less dissiuation'on the part of col lege boys, and if the change does damage tile liquor and tobacco sellers in the vicini ty of educational institutions, it will great ly benefit the young men. Cleveland Leader. Scenes from Lite. When the speaker of the Arkansas legis- 1 ture said that the gentleman from Clay county was out of order, Clay county picked up an inkstand and offered*to bet $10 that lie wasn’t. They tell of a farmer near Lebanon, hid., who tile-ditched his land and dug the trenches so shallow that he was compelled to lay logs on each side and fill in w ith airt, m order to get his tile under ground. Sheer grit saved the life of Charles Ma- linecmeibiy last week, at La Crosse, Wis. ™ aV'""' 11 " ,u J er !l railway ear, but ’ catch tlie axle and hold on un til the train was stopped. Notwithstand ing, his ankles were pulled out of joint and badly bruised. A Quincy III. man who is visiting in the w est telegraphed home to his wife that he linil sent her a fine calf, nnd told her to have their son look after it on its arrival. Boon after the message was delivered the liny appeared at the telegraph office with a long rope in his hand and asked the operators to deliver the calf to him. [ A Virginia City saloon-keeper who was making arrangements for a slugging match in that city, knocked out one of the clergymen of the place in one round by calling on him and asking the loan of a lot ! of chairs from the chapel, on which to . scat tlie spectators at the fight. He offerefi the preacher a free ticket for the use of the chairs. THE LAXITY OF THE LAW. Matas of Affair. Ity W hli-li u ( rimlual May ho Free. Richmond, June 23.—Malcolm May, a notorious character, formerly of this coun ty, was brought here to-day, from Lexing ton, to be tried for housebreaking. May was arrested by the police of Lexington upon a private reward of some citizens of Washington county, where it is alleged he committed a dastardly crime after drug ging his victim. It was found, however, that he had been indicted here for house breaking, so the authorities at Lexington sent him here first. It now turns out that the indictment against him here has been filed away with leave to re- docket, but tiie circuit court not being in session,the authorities are at a loss to know what to do with him, unless the county judge sees fit to send him onto Springfield. He hesitates to do this, because there is no information, except hearsay, that he has ] committed a crime in Washington county. I The examination will take place Friday, ( nnd, unless there be further developments, lie may be discharged and thus go free, when he ought to hang. The victim of j his lust in Washington county is said to ( have become insane, and is now in the I asylum. The court of appeals having reversed | tlie ease of the commonwealth against. Lane Wyatt, convicted of manslaughter ! and sentenced to twenty-one years in the, penitentinr.v, he will to-morrow apply for ! fiail before the Richmond police court, the ) county judge being one of the counsel in \ the case. As the Wyatts will testify in 1 their own defense at tlie next trial, thev 1 are now in good spirits in regard to the j matter. The information from republican head quarters here to-day is that the republican I convention of this Common Pleas district, which was to be held at Winchester to-I morrow, has been indefinitely postponed. Hon. .John Dennett is not now a candidate \ tor this office, but the contingency may arise in which lie will be. HOSPITALS; CURATIVE INSTITUTIONS, INFIRMARIES.
