A GREAT SNAKE KILLER.
A Winter Tale That Knocks All Oth
ers Cold.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Lexington, Ky., March 23. —The Tran
eeript has received the following special dis
patch from Richmond, Ky.:
Patrick Cunningham, of this place, is
death to snakes and venomous reptiles of
all kinds. The snake that bites him dies in
great agony, frothing at the mouth and
swelling to almost double its former pro
portion;. Cunningham has discovered a
poison more deadly than that of the reptile,
but harmless as a lotion for the human
body, and the moment the fangs of the
snake come in contact with it
POWERFUL ELECTRICAL CURRENT
is generated that drives tne snakes own
poison through every bloodvessel in its
body. Blood poisoning is tho result, which
with the terrible electric shock, causes al
most instant death. Cunningham
killed during last summer over 17.000
snakes in Madison county, and realized
quite a handsome sum by his wonderful
skill in driving those offensive reptiles from
the premises of our citizens. Mr. J. B.
Parks, who owns a beautiful farm near
Kingston, was overrun with rattlesnakes.
He lost several head of fi-e Jersey cows,
hich died from the effects Of rattlesnake
bites. Then the blacksnukes carried off
hundreds of his young chickens. The place
fairly swarmed with snakes, so Cunning
ham had to be called in. He can locate a
den of snakes by their scent as easily as a
dog can track a rabbit. He did not wait
for them to come out of their hole, but
whenever it was at all practicable he
crawled in after them and killed them right
and left with a club he carried. All that
bit him died, but, of course, the best num
ber of snakes he encountered in his day’s
labor could not oil get a chance to bite him,
and had to be dispatched with a club. He
estimated the number of snakes killed on
Park’s farm at 4,000.
Col. Irvine, who lives just on the out
skirts of Richmond, had three barrels of
Anderson county whisky, fourteen years
old, in his cehar. He
LEFT THE BUNG-HOLES OPEN,
to age it faster and make it mellow. Judge
of his surprise, therefore, when he went to
show it to some visiting friends one morn
ing, to find that it was nearly all gone, and
in one of the barrels only about two gal
lons were left. In this barrel over forty
large blacksnakes were discovered, all coiled
up and in a beastly state of intoxication,
while in the dark cornel’s of the cellar
groups of the rattlesnakes were coiled,
some sobering up, others iu various stages
of intoxication. They had got in through a
hole in tho basement door, and as Col. Irvine
was away with his family for about three
months it is supposed the snakes, not being
disturbed, just stayed with the whiskv, and
did not draw a sober breath during all that
period. This was last September. Patrick
Cunningham was called in, and he succeed
ed in killing over 3,000 snakes on that place
within two weeks, receiving for bis ser
vices the neat sum of $3OO, or $lOO per
thousand.
Col. Shackleford, of the hardware firm
of Shackleford & Gentry, owned a half in
terest in the whisky destroyed by the
snakes, and to that gentleman your reporter
is indebted for these
ACTUAL FACTS.
Col. Cobe Taylor, P. M. Pope, Claude
Smith and Col. Prather had to call in Cun
ningham to clear their places also. Tho
snakes have multiplied wonderfully in
Madison county since the war. It is sup
posed that they were frightened by the i oar
and din of battle near Perry ville, and con
gregated for safety in tins vicinity. Cun
ningham has engagements booked for clear
ing out the snakes on numerous farms in
this county during tho coming summer.
Also, those on the farms of J. W. Parris
and Mayor Garner, of Winchester, and
Col. Amy DeLong and Isaac Rumsey,
Esq., of Lexington. Cunningham is a
rather small man, of very dark complex
ion, witn a thick mat of dark hair. He
has keen, piercing eyes, and talks with won
derful rapidity. He was born in India,
near Calcutta; his parents were Irish, and
were sent out by the English government
for department work in that province. It
was in the jungles of India that Cunning
ham discovered from the natives the form
ula for
MAKING THE DEADLY LOTION
so fatal to poisonous reptiles. The natives
all anoint themselves, and are thus ren
dered snake-proof. Cunningham says he
will keep on killing and driving the snakes
until there is not one in the State of Ken
tucky, if the people will only pay him for
it. Of course, that would be an impossi
bility for one man to accomplish, but he
says he likes the business, and hopes to do a
good work in the State if his life and health
are only spared for a few
years. I have stated in this
article nothing but actual facts, with
out the slightest attempt at exaggeration.
If any of your readers doubt in the least
they can address Col. Shackleford, of
Shackleford & Gentry; E. W. Wiggins,
of Wiggins & Breck;P. M. Pope, Esq.,
Mr. Willis, the Postmaster, or any other
reputable citizen of Richmond, or Mr.
Cunningham himself, and they will find
that the statements herein named aro noth
ing but actual facts, and they will find that
in the matter of exterminating snakes from
the soil of old Kentdcky that Mr. Patrick
Cunningham is indeed the modern St. Pat
rick.
HOW A FORTUNE WAS WON.
How Mr. Clark, of St. Louis, Struck a
Bonanza in the Far West.
Washington, March 25.—There is stop
ping at Willard’s hotel in this city a gentle
man with a history of some interest. His
name is Charles Clark, his residence is St.
Louis, and he is the President of the Bi-
Metallic Mining Company. Mr. Clark is
famous, not, as the owner of the name of
( lark, nor as a resident of Su Louis, nor as
the President of the Bi-Metallic Mining
Company. He is famous throughout the
West as one of the early owners
of the greatest silver mine in
the world—the Granite Mountain Mine
of Montana The stock of the Gran.te
Mountain Company, 400,000 shares, is
Quoted at about S6O a share on the New
York and St. Liuis n arkets,and Mr. Clark
derives an income of about $20,000 a month
front a tenth interest in the mine. Mr.
Clark and his brother-in-law, Charles I).
McLure, bought the Granite Mountain
claim less than eight years ago for a small
■ sum of money from the orig inn I locators.
HClark and McLure were poor men, and most
■of the money which purchased the mine
■ was furnished Mrs. Clark, who had some
■bond-, sewed in the lining of her dress
■Rizanist tho coming of a rainy (lav. The
■pro|,nt ty was purchased on the judgment
■of McLure, who then authorized Clark to
■° Last and dispose of an interest in it for
with which to develop it.
Clark went to St. L aiis aiid interested
wealthy men, who agreed to put in
for a three-fourth interest in the
A,syndicate was organized on

■B'mnp the mine. He reported that there
$75,000 worth of silver ore in sight,
I tb -syndicate then made the flrd pay
id, $20,000. In August, following, tiie
■Second payment of $20,000 was made.
"i k was continued, but there wore no
■Grtiing developments, and, whde the
wont out regularly, very little came
In November, 1882, work had been
■"nri iod ,, M l'orquiten time on barren ground.
As no information regarding Uevelop
■hentsof progress had been reoievod for
■ hi i'M weeks, orders were issued to stop work.
■ " the ielegra n bearing this order flashed
■‘ Vp r the wires on its way to Montaua, a
■>: swage crossed It coming East. It was
■ roni the superintendent of tho mine un
■icuncing the discovery of a big body of
■uli ore. The order from the company was
■uuntermandod. work was resumed. and
the big body of ore was developed as rapid
ly as possible. Money was expended freely
and about $90,000 was invested before any
return came in. Then the money realized
from the sale of ore was invested in ma
chinery and in the improvement of the
property. The first dividend was paid in
April, 1885, four years and six months after
the tools were sent to the mine. Since that
time the company has paid thirty-nine divi
dends, aggregating $4,300,000. It pays
$300,000 a mouth regularly, of which Mr.
Clark receives about $20,000 and Mr. Mc-
Lure a little more than that amount. Each
of these gentlemen owns a quarter interest
in the Bi-Metallic mine, adjoining the Gran
ite Mountain, whose stock is selling on the
basis of $8,000,000 for the property.
Mr. Ciark has run down from New York,
where Mrs. Clark is stopping at the Murray
Hill Hotel. Mr. Clark lias just had built
one of the finest houses iu St. Louis. His
kitchen is said to be the finest in the United
States. It is more costly than that over
which M. Joseph will preside iu the man
sion of Mr. Vanderbilt. The walls, the ceil
ing, and th ■ floor are of marble, and there
will be no flies on Mr. Clark’s kitchen if a
vigorous use of the hose can keep them off.
Mr. Clark is a man of medium height, with
full gray side whiskers and moustache, a
prominent nose, and very sharp bright eyes.
He takes a pleasant interest in discussing
his bonanza strike, and his conversation
bristles with allusions to drifts, tunnels,
winzes, ore shoots, and other objects famil
iar to Western mining camps. The Clarks
do a large amount of entertaining at St.
Louis. At a recent afternoon reception giv
en by Mrs. Clark, 8500 worth of tulips from
New York decorated the parlor mautels.
RALEIGH’S TWO THIEVES.
Cashier White’s Method of Swindling
Other Banks.
Toronto, April 2. —Regarding the Raleigh
bank case, Caldwell Hardy, cashier of the
Norfolk National Rank, arrived to-day to
look after the interests of his institution.
It appears that Cashier White, of the State
National Bank of Raleigh, on the day
before he and President Cross left Raleigh,
telegraphed to the Norfolk National
Bank for an advance of #lO,OOO on a
consignment of cotton and tobacco, promis
ing to send a bill of exchange on New York
the next day. The amount was duly for
warded and was received by White, who
pocketed it. He also squeezed tho Rich
mond National Bank for #lO,OOO and a
Raleigh bank for #5,000 under similar cir
cumstances. Mr. Hardy intends to secure
his #lO,OOO out of the money found in pos
session of the prisoner when arrested.
Attorney General Bushes and Chief of Police
Ileartt, of Raleigh, arrived here to-night.
AN INSURANCE HITCH.
The Commissioner of Minnesota Brings
Several Suits.
St. Paul, April 2. —The State Insurance
Commissioner this morning began a suit
against twenty-three insurance companies
doing business in this State for their non
compliance with the State laws regu
lating insurance matters, among oth
ers those requiring that they
shall file copies of their charters
duly accepted, furnish statements of their
condition and pny over two per cent, of all
the premiums received. Among the compa
nies involved aro the Home Mutual of
Nashville, the Aldington of Memphis, the
Pelican of New Orleans, and three Knox
ville companies, the Knoxville Fire, Island
Home and East Tennessee. The penalty in
each case is $l,OOO, and judgment is asked
in this amount. The policies issued by the
above companies for tho Ryan Drug Com
pany, aggregating $26,500, brought the
matter to the Commissioner’s attention.
KILLED IN A HOTEL.
The Proprietor Shoots a Negro Walter
During a Quarrel.
Richmond, Va., April 2.—Shortly after
8 o’clock to-night, William Godsey, Mana
ger of the St. Charles Hotel of this city,
shot and killed Davis Glass (colored) a
waiter. Godsey had reproved Glass
for some romissness of duty in
the dining room, when a quarrel
ensued, and Godsey attempted to
eject the negro. The latter resisted and
struck Godsey with a chair, whereupon
Godsey drew a pistol and fired several shots
at Glass with fatal effect. Godsey surren
dered himself to the police. He claims that
he acted in self defense.
COKEMAKERS FEEL TIRED.
A Loss of $lO Per Carload Sustained
by Those at War.
Pittsburg, Pa., April 2.—The coke
workers, so far as could be learned to-day,
have accepted a reduction of por cent,
in wages, which took effect this morning.
The price of coke, it is thought, will not
long remain at $1 per ton. The shipments
this week are about 600 cars per day. The
loss sustained by selling at ?t per ton, it is
estimated, will amount to $6,000 per day.
A movement is already on foot to have the
war declared off, and prices advanced to
$1 25 or $1 50 per ton.
MISSISSIPPI'S CAPITOL.
A Belief that the Building is Not Safe
for Occupancy.
Jackson, Miss., April 2.—The recent
heavy rains here have caused the rear walls
of the capitol building to sink, and great
fears are entertained for its safety. An
architect who is now examining the build
ing thinks that an expenditure of SIOO,OOO
in repairs will he necessary to put it in safe
condition. The capitol was built fifty years
ago. For several years past it has !>een
thought by many that the building was in
a dangerous condition. The Supreme Court
has removed its quarters.
Texas’ Over Supply of Money.
Austin, Tex., April 2.—The Comptroller
reports that the State Treasury balance on
April 1 was SIBO,OOO in cash and $700,000 In
bonds. This does not include $1,000,000 in
demnity money recently v.iteil by Congress
and now in transit to Texas. The money in
the Treasury is being stacked up for the
legislative committee to examine on ti e
convening of tho special session of the Leg
isture, which has been called.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. APRIL 4. 1888.
SIX MONTHS OF NIGHT.
An Imaginative Sketch of Domestic
Life When the North Pole is a Town.
fh-nm the. San Francisco Chronicle.
If they ever find the North Pole and it
becomes colonized they’re going to have an
awful time of it. They will have daylight
six months and darkness six months out of
the year. There is a certain limit of trou
ble and ingenuity beyond which immorality
will not go. The limit is far enough off at
the best, but if it were night for six months
on end what would become of us? Hus
bands would ne’-er go home at nil. Parties
would only be divided by the time neces
sary to recruit exhausted nature; a woman
would need anew dress every four hours
because she couldn’t go to more than two
parties in the same dress, and it would be an
awful hardship to do even that. They
would say; *
“AVhy, do look at Mrs. . She wore
that same dress at the Smiths just ten hours
ago.”
“Are you going to the theater now?”
“No; 1 saw the piece already to-night.”
“Get up.”
“What time is it?”
“Don’t know; but I put you to bed in a
miserable condition six hours since, and we
are due at the Jones’.”
“Well, wait till 1 getiny breakfast or sup
per or dinner; which is it, anyhow?”
“Don’t remember; it is my one hundred
and sixteenth meal this season.”
“Don’t light the gas yet. I only saved
$1,000,000, and that gas bill is getting prodig
ious. Anew dress! That’s the filteenth
in 175 hours.”
“Great Hcottl the meter’s busted and the
electric wire’s broken. Where are my
boots?”
And the daylight would be confusing. A
man would never know when to leave his
business. Newspapers would be published
just when everything happened, which
would he very frequently.
“Come on; let’s go home."
“Hold on; just one game more.”
“We’ve been at it just forty-eight hours
now by the watch.”
“Where’s my dinner?”
“Really, my dear, I didn’t think it was so
long since the last meal, and I’ve been shop
ing.”
•“Shopping! You came home from shop
ping just before I went out, and woke me
up to borrow money for car fare.”
“This bonnet is all worn out. I can’t be
seen on the street with it again.”
“Julius Csesar! You’ve only had it two
hours.”
“Yes, but every woman I know has seen
it by this time."
“Got a lawn tennis party in fifteen min
utes, you say ? Well, you’ve only come in
from boating. You won’t see the winter if
you goon like this. No, I haven’t had but
three drinks since I left home.”
“By the way, John, 1 want you to drive
me out to the park.”
“I can’t; Pm sleepy. I’ve been up thirty
six hours.”
“Well, I’ve only seen you fifteen min-
utes.”
“I can’t help that; you know perfect well
the photographing business will have to
shut up pretty soon, and I’ve got to make
ail I can out of it now.”
Just think, however, the trying position
of men who would like to get full.
“Look at Mr. Jones! Well, I never!
Staggering along the street in broad day
light! I atn ashamed of him! ”
And all the neighbors watching Jones
trying to find a keyhole in the fence, and,
perhaps, taking his clothes off outside ot
the door. Of course there would be com
pensation for such people in the winter.
Night was evidently intended by nature to
enable the exercise of the objectionable
propensities of tho human, anyway.

Why Fortune Smiled Upon Augusta
