THOUSANDSOF SNAKES. | Reptiles Left by the Flood Al most Impede Railroad Traffic. Paducah, Ky., May 14. —After the plague of rats which accompa nied the Roods and the pest of buf falo gnats which followed the high water, comes a swarming of rep tiles to scare the crews of the Nash ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis road. Trainmen m the Paducah Divis ion report that more snakes are to be seen along the road now than e ver before in the history of the road. Thousands of serpents of every variety, venomous and other wise, are seen daily along the track in West Kentucky and Tennessee.

Brake man John Hall of this city, while throwing a switch at Hollow Rock Junction, counted 42 snakes with in a radius of 50 feet. Talk of a Boycott. Augusta, May 19.—1 f Judson Lyons is appointed postmaster here, which seems very probable now, he will be boycotted. There has been a very quiet but powerful and widespread movj ment among the white citizens in ill walks here, to formulate a plan to boycott Lyons. A satisfactory solution has been reached. It is this: A bicycle messenger service will be organized and thoroughly equipped to carry all mails for the whites to and from a nearby station and postoffice. A central place will be secured to deposit the mails, and this will be collected by the messengers and carried to the postofflee selected . The mails will be distributed in the same manner. All stamps will be purchased at this point. It will practically be a clean “freeze out” of Lyons. Feeling is running very high here, and all classes of citizens are wrought up over the matter.

Constantinople, May 20.—An armistice was also formally conclu ded today for seventeen days, be tween the Turkish and Greek troops on the frontier of Epirus. The armistice is general and in cludes the land and sea forces of both combatants. The ambassadors of the powers mot this afternoon to consider the terms of peace. Won’t Yield Thessaly. Athens, May 20.—M. Ralli, the premier, in the course as an inter view today, said : “The idemnity which Greece will pay to Turkey will be in proportion to the resources of Greece and her financial position.
