Tlfton, Ga., July B.—The third annual

Port Jervis, N, Y.—The young folks In
the family of Peter Wolcroft, near Gree
ley. Pa., held a dance Thursday in the
barn. The wagons were run out, except
a platform vehicle used for the orchestra.
The floor was old and full of knot-holes,
but was soon crowded with six sets of the
younfc folks. The dancing over the loose
boards waxed fast and furious until there
was a scream of "snakes!" from a set on
the left. The dancing had annoyed a dea
of black snakes under the barn and the#
were popping their heads out through the
numerous knot holes, hissing In anger at
the disturbance.
Some of the girls fled, several mounted
the framework of the horse stalls and
others climbed the ladder to the floor
above. The male members of the party
with hose, manure forks and clubs at
tacked the snakes, which were Issuing
from every knot-hole In the old barn
floor, and killed thirty-six black snakes,
some of which measured over six feet lrl
length.
The women could not be induced to re
enter the barn, and the rest of the even
ing was enjoyed as a lawn party. No one
was bitten by the snakes, but several of
the women fainted from fright.

GATHERED AT CHICAGO.

“These stiver fellows remind me of Ike
Hill of Ohio," said Amos Cummings, the
New York ex-congressman and editor, as
he surveyed a crowd who were excitedly
denouncing Mr. Whitney and other east
ern politicians, says the Chicago Tlmes-
Herald.
“How is that," asked Col. William Ster
rett of Washington, as he flashed a knife
and sliced off a slab of hard tack chew
ing tobacco.
"One time Ike was a delegate to an
Ohio convention," related Mr. Cummings.
"I do not recall what convention it was
or what was the Issue, but ike was with
the struggling masses, who has selected
a vast majority of delegates. In the early
stages of the convention Ike was almost
Insultingly aggressive. He Jeered at the
gold bugs of the convention and predicted
all sorts of disasters to the abashed and
humified opposition. The day before the
balloting began ike was troubled. 1 no
ticed It and Inquired as to the cause of
so much gloom."
" ‘By gosh!' said Ike, with tears in his
eyes, 'they'll buy us yet!'
“The worst fears of Mr. Hill were real
ized, and he went back to his constituents
a saddened arid embittered man. T)MM
stiver fellows are In a panic for fear
somebody will buy them yet. and like a
famous character In history, are anxious
ly walling for the reign of corruption to
set In."
A lightning character impersonator haa
appeared in the Bland headquarters, says
the Washington I’oat special. He Is Col.
Celsus Price of Bt. Louis, who looks like
every prominent politician and states
man In the country who happen* to wear
a beard. Sitting under a lithograph por
trait of 'Silver Dick," Col. Price would
be mistaken for the Missouri candidate
by any one who did not know him Inti
mately. By a turn of hls head, a pose or
a droop of hlw beard, the colonel becomes
at once the living picture of a prominent
statesman. He Is unconscious of It. He
does not know that In a moment Jie can
look like the following: President Gar
field. Gen. Harrison, Thomas C. Platt.
"Silver Dick" Bland, James Q. Blaine,
Bailey Dawson.
During the republican convention at Bt.
Louis the colored delegates stopped the
colonel on the street and wanted to shake
hand* with "Gen. Harrison." The other
delegates mistook him for Thomas C.
Platt, though he la not quite so tall. Col.
Price haa only to look downward and
bite hls under lip to look like the New
Yorker. A turn of the head makes hls
appear as James G. Blaine and Hailey
Dawson. Altogether, the colonel Is a re
markable character, and is a devoted ad
herent of Candidate Bland.
The Chicago Tlmes-Hcrald summarizes
the characteristics of two leading candi
dates as follows:
Richard Parks Bland—
Doesn’t drink—much.
Doesn't swear—often.
Doesn't smoke cigarettes.
Doesn't put on style.

A little company of prominent silver
democrats were talking in a quiet, leis
urely way In the rooms of the bimetallic
committee at the Sherman house, says the
New York Tribune's correspondence.
They were Senator Jfmes of Arkansas;
ex-Congressman Towles, Gov. Stone of
Missouri, and a few others. They were
evidently exchanging yarns about old
times by way of relief from the pressure
of politics, and were in the midst of a
hearty laugh when a stranger entered,
lie was a large, portly man. with a wide
mouth, heavy jaws and slanting forehead.
"Ha. we have them this time," was his
greeting."We'U down the goldbugs this
time one way or another, eh?" “No doubt
of It." said Senator Jones, suddenly pull
ing himself up to his full length anti re
suming his customary Icy exterior. "It's
a unique campaign. The democratic par
ty never knew the like of it before. It
has revolutionized a political organiza
tion that Is as old as the nation." "Yes,"
said one or two, "Ah, It Is a grand con
test between the masses and the classes ”
"That's It In a nutshell," said Gov. Stone.
"Now It's my opinion,” resumed the af
fable stranger, "that we must have for a
candidate a man who can crystallize
about him all the silver forces of the
country." "You are right," said Gov
Stone, answering again for the rest of
the party, which was now listening with
a little more regard for what the stranger
had to say. "And I tell you there Is no
man In the country like Senator Teller of
Colorado. He ig one of the greatest finan
ciers— financiers— financiers, I was going
to say, gentlemen; he is One of”— But
the little company -had melted jiay. The
affable strang. r never fimsheJ hie story.
The last Hope of the gambler* in Chi
cago haa disappeared, says the T.m"*-
Herald. None of the delegate* to the
convention Is inclined to dally with the
tiger, and the bum h of faro dea*er* and
roulette men who dropped into Cm.in
last week to turn an honest dol.ar are
bemoaning the fa • that money is so tig.it
among the delegates.
In fact, the men who usually follow the
tiger's footprints and try to copper the
coin of the unwarv say they have never
seen auch a convention. They say It t*
like a Sunday school picnic, though none
of them ever wen; to anything but the
County March.ng Club picnic, and have
only read or heard of Sunday school pi ■-
nlc*. Lota of quiet games are watting
to be started up. but the delegates ar
too much in earnest to tamper with th*
velvet claws of the festive tiger The
games are going begging and the wail of
the tiger la heard ei'/ng Clark street. Even
the explosion on the lake front an l the
caving In of the tunnel by the gnthouse
will not work All the de egates ask
when told of the sad accident is: “Any
free silver delegates among the dead?'
And the confidence man. the bunco
■ teerer. and the gambler sigh and talk
in their sleep of the good old day* when
a democratic convention was free with
its money.
AVIUlam Ferguson, bless hi* soul, will
be missed from this convention, says the
Tlmes-Herald. He is dead He was for
several years a conspicuous figure from
Colorado, because he stood for the rights
of young men to hate opinions and to ex
press them. He had an impediment in
his speech. It was a source of pride to
him that he was called the stuttering
statesman of the Ro kies. He never
missed a democratic convention of any
kind, and hls friends now remember the
many clever things he drew from an ap
parently boundless fund of wit. He once
was a delegate In Denver and he was
vexed that there was opposition to the
nomination of Fence on the score of hls
youth. Ferguson arose arid got the eye
of the chair. He spoke with great diffi
culty and said. “Mr. Chairman. I am
k-g-g-grieved that there Is op-p-p-p-po
aitton to thla cand-d-d-didate because he Is
not old. I wish to call your at-t-t-tentlon
to the fact that the st-t-t-t-lstics of this
country show that t-l-t-here are more
young men born than old." and he sat
down and hi* man was nominated.
‘‘They say that he chews tobacco," said
®n excited Bland partisan to a small,
stumpy man with red whiskers, accord
ing to the Chicago Record. “What If he
does?"
A dozen or more of the Palmer house
loungers gathered around to hear the ar
gument .
"He's got a right to chew tobacco If
he wants to." said the small man.
“Yes. and they make fun of him be
cause he's a farmer.”
"It's about time we had a farmer in
there," said the small man.
“He Is a poor man and so am I.”
"Here too."
“When he get* in there he'll turn that
blamed Wall street crowd upside down."
"That’a what he ought to do.”
There was no chance for an argument
between these two men, and the crowd
filtered away to fii4 something more In
teresting.
Hen Tillman Is sure of the platform,
says the Chicago Tlmes-Herald. He has
his doubts as to the candidate. He re
ceived hls delegation at the Union depot
last night. The greetings were hearty.
"Well, Ben, how’ve you been gettin' on?"
asked a tall man, who seemed to be the
head of the delegation.
"Oh, pitchforkin’ around In the same
old way," Tillman answered, with the un
lovely grin that he Is noted for w hen he
Joke*.
"The same old Ben,” remarked the tall
man.
Then “Ben" was asked how the "cause"
was "gettin' on."
•'W'q'ip vt the platform all right,"
"Ben" answered, “but I'm afraid they'll
skin us on the candidate. Thev'll knock
us out of gettin’ the right kind of a
man. It appears to me."
"That seems mighty unpleasant," said
the tall man.
"Yes, It Is. but it seems to be so," said
“Ben.”
One of the free silver yawpers took up
A place In the corridor of the Palmer to
day for fifteen minutes and shouted out
that It was not possible to get a thou
sand dollars In gold In the city of Chi
cago, says the Phtledalphla ‘ Record's
special.
A man stepped up to him and tapped
him on the shoulder and said: "My
friend, I think you nre mistaken You
can get all the gold yon want In Chi
cago. If you will get about 25,000,000 In
legal tenders and come with me 1 will
give you 25,000,000 of gold for them In five
minutes.”
Some of the gold men In the corridor
recognized the tall man as Whit Glover
the chief clerk of the sub-treasury here
and they set up a shout. The silver man
looked dazed for a moment and then
made his way out of the hotel.
The Intemperate language used by the
silver men in discussing the Issues before
the convention is likely to turn many
votes against their candidate if It Is con
tinued throughout the campaign, says the
New York Tribune's special. For exam
ple, at the Palmer house yesterdav a gen
t,lemun repeated a remark, attributed to
Mr. Whitney, that a panic would follow
the nomination of Mr. Bland. "What t’ell
Is a panic?" asked a bystander, where
upon the first speaker explained that a
panic was a fall in the value of stocks
which squeezed all the water out of the
railway and other investments, and de
clared that he thought it was a good
thing for the country to have one now
and then, so as to bring the millionaires
and sharks of Wall street down to "hard
pan.”

From the Philadelphia Record.
Milton. Del., July 4.— After spending 29
years without going outside of his house
at Harbeson, William Prettyman, Sr.,

terday. He came to see his daughter
Mrs. H. P. Burton. Mr. Prettvman, dur

away from home until recently.
A cyclone that visited the neighborhood
a few weeks ago nearly demolished his
house, and this seems to have given him
the desire lo tread upon the outside earth
again. To-day he is receiving the con
gratulations of friends upon his first ap
pearance here since 1867.

The New Electric l.ight Plzal Form
ally Inaugurated.
The Savannah water work* Was the
i: y of > pVasant event yesterday af
ternoon in connection with the turning
on of rhe current from the new electric
ligh* plant which has recently been com
pleted for the purpo*e of fighting the
works.
As announce! in the Morning News sev
er.li months ago the water commission
de -lded to put In an electric light plant,
not merely to beautify the works and as
sist the employes In their work, but for
the protection of the valuable machinery
there, which must be used night and day.
The contract for furnishing the material
for the plant was awarded to the Savan
nah Electrical Supply and Construction
Company. Owing to the fact that this was
the first contract for a complete plant
secured here by the company, it* officers
determined that the plant should be a
specimen of their work to which they
could point with pride, and for that
reason the question of expense
wa* made a secondary one and all mater
ial was carefully selected. Tile material
wa* furnished by the company, but all the
work was done under the supervision of
Superintendent Ixifton of the water de
partment who is well up In electrical en
gineering as wet, as :n other branches of
hls profession
The work was completed a few days ago,
and the light was turned on for the first
time last night. Superintendent Lefton
and President Fox of the Electrical Con
struction and Supply Company conspired
together to make the event a pleasant one.
For that purpose invitations were extend
ed to the members of the water commis
sion, rhe mayor and aldermen, the city of
ficials and some few friends. The party
gathered at the works driving out from
the city. Among those present were Mayor
Myers. Aldermen Garrard, Falligant, Wat
son and Lamolte. Messis. James M. Dixon,
J. H. Fox and James Mendel of the water
commission, and Messrs. A. N. Manucy,
Frank McDermott, J. E. Maguire,
Harry Wlllink, a. 3. Collins, H.
E. Dreeson, A. R. Fawcett,
D. B. Falk, A. Leftler, Jr., Max Krauss
and others.
President Fox and Mr. J. L. Walker
were on hand and Joined with Supt. Lof
ton in receiving the visitors and explain
ing the plant and its workings.
The plant 1* situated in the engine room
In the rear of the big pumping engines.
It Is very neat and compact and Its small
size excited general surprise, when com
pared with the work being performed.
The engine and dynamo occupy a space
of less than ten feet square. The engine
Is a Harrisburg Ideal and the dynamo an
Eddy multipolar. It* capacity is six arc
lamps of 2,001) candle power each, and
eighty-five incandescent lamps of sixteen
and twenty candle power. Steam is sup
plied to the engine from the boiler room.
The switch board is a handsome affair,
with gauges, amphere and volt meters,
rheostat, and all of the usual appliances
and all of the best make.
Heretofore the engineers have had to
depend upon kerosene lamps at night, and
as a result the lighting was very imper
fect. Now, every room in the building
Is lighted by electricity. Two big arc
lights are suspended In the engine room
and numerous Incandescent lights are
placed so as to light up every part of the
engines and machinery from beneath, as
well as from the top and sides. The lamps
gave a very clear, strong light and the
engine room was as light as day. The
wiring of the Incandescent lights Is verv
ingeniously done, the wires being con
cealed In small Iron piping, doubly insu
lated, so that there is no possibility of the
wires coming in contact with the ma
chinery at any point. The insulation is
complete, so that the burning out of
the fuse of any lamp will not affect the
other lamps. All parts of the building are
well lighted and lights are run to the sta
ble some distance In the rear. ,
The grounds of the waterworks are light
ed by two big arc lights.
Those of the visitors who came early had
the opportunity of observing the improve
ments which Superintendent Lofton has
made In the grounds around the water
works. The large space east of the works
which was formerly a marsh has been
converted into the prettiest little park to
be found around Savannah. A little lake
bordered by willow trees and with a foun
tain In the center is one of the features.
A number of rose bushes set out some time
ago are now In full hearing and Superin
tendent Fofton gathered rosebuds for bou
tonnlers for the entire party. Avenues of
trees have been set out which will in time
add greatly to the appearance of the park.
As soon as Gwinnett street Is properly im
proved the waterworks will become a fa
vorite resort on summer afternoons. The
last, but not the least Important feature
of the occasion was the fine spread set by
Mr. Fux for the guests. Many of the party
had missed their suppers In order to be
present, and the lunch proved very ac
ceptable.
PHOT VGR.YPHING THOUGHT.
Dr. Daradnc Announce* Hi* Success
anil Show* the Piute*.
From the London Standard.
It may he rash to pronounce that any
thing is beyond the photographer's art.
But the communication Just made to the
Paris Academle de Medicine by Dr. Bar
aduc is so astonishing that if he had
made it before Dr. Rontgen had render
ed his discovery public, very few people
would have been Inclined even to inquire
into the matter. Indeed, Dr. Baraduc af
firm* he nas succeeded in photographing
thought, and he has shown numerous pho
tographs in proof of his assertion.
His usual method of proceeding Is sim
ple enough. The person whose thought Is
to be photographed enters a dark room,
places his hand on a photographic plate
and thinks intently of the object the
image of which he wishes to see produc
ed. Tt is stated by those who have ex
amined Dr. Baraduc's photographs that
the most of them are very cloudy, but
that a few are comparatively distinct,
representing the features of persons and
the outlines of things. Dr. Baraduc goes
further, and declares that it Is possible
to produce a photographic Image at a
great distance.
In his communication to the Academic
de Medicine he relates that Dr. Istrate
when he was going to Campana. declared
he would appear on a photographic plate
of his friend, M. Hasden at Bucharest
On the 4th of August. 1893. M. Hasden at
Bucharest went to bed with a photo
graphic plate at his feet and another at
his head. Dr. Istrate went to sleep at
Campana. at a distance of about 300 kil
ometres from Bucharest, but before clos
ing his eyes he willed with all his might
that his images would appear on the pho
tographic plate of his friend.
Arordlng to Dr. Baraduc that marvel
was accomplished. Journalists who have
examined rile photograph in question state
that It consists In a kind of luminous spot
on the photographic plate, in the midst of
which can be traced the profile of a man.
Congressman I.lnney Renominated.
Winston, N. C.. July 3-The republican
congressional convent'on of the Eighth
district held at Wilkesboro to-day. Con
gressman R. Z. Llnney was renominated
by acclamation.
—What He Knew About It.—" Have you
seen Mathilde's new dress?" asked Mrs
Cumrox.
"No, I haven't seen Matilda’s new
dress,” was the not very genial reply
“and what Is more, I don’t want to see
"I should think you would have enough
of the sentiments of a father about vou
to take an interest in what Mathilde
wears.
I can find out all I want to know about
Matilda's dresses," he rejoined, persisting
in his own pronunciation, "without see
ing them."
"Oh, indeed. Then perhaps you can de
scribe the material of this one.”
"I can; not minutely, but none the less
accurately. The most conspicuous thing
about the material is a large check I
feel sure about that, because I wrote toe
check myself.”—Washingtoa Star.
