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.

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

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

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.

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.
