veins filled with burning poison, wikliy
grappling with the scaly, venomous rep
tiles, and striving with the desperation
of the awful fever to mount the bard
sidea of the well and die on tlie plain
above Ixmeath God's smiling stars. Die
sweat poured from the poor man’s body
in streams. The snakes gave forth that
musky odor peculiar to them, and this,
reken with the cbatenere and warmth of
of tlie air, produced a sensation as of
sufliw-ation.
In a moment, still biasing angrily, one
of the snakes began to move, and Allen
raw its glistening eyes at hie feet. The
clammy thing crawled over Ills bare feet
and circled around hie naked legs. The
creature eeetued to like the warmth of
Allen's body, and stopped for a moment.
Then it slowly began to aaeend hie lgnt«
to hu budy. and ewm the tumble eyes
were looking into those of Alton, and
they U'em d to bam thnmgh to hie brain.
L'p orer his fare the creature moved Ito
heed, aad then enctsMitered Alton’s crisp
and curly hair. With aa angry rattle
the snake drew back hie bead, and Alton,
know mg it would strike, raised hte bands
as quick aa Lightning and gripped the
creature by the threat. With the other
hand tee grasped the ratites, aad then he
slowly, surely straagted the creature to
death, though the fearful effluvium
which it emitted alm<wt careed him to
faint. For l»alf an hour he held Hie
snake firmly, he saw the malignant light
bi Its eyre grow dim and finally dresje
pear, and then he knew one enemy al
teaM was rived. But he darvd not drop
th. dead make, for the other Itad become
uneasy at the duMppearaoce of Ue mate,
aad seemed on the pint of starting cut
la search. The fiercr, glaring eyre
moved from sid. to sMe. the ruitte was
eeMotn still. amPAlien never for a mo
ment took hto eyre from tbuee hostile
ertau
For hours bo stood thus, eoneumed
with a feverish Hurst, Lie nerves at a
terrilJe teresitai, and hie eyse strained
and almret bursting. Then the sky above
Uni legan to light “P. and a little rev «4
sunliglit danced on the wsetern wafl of
hte uti-b-rground prison Ln a few mo
ments lie- w»U was quit* light, and tten
AUen and hte remaining eu*my raw each
other at the same instant. The snake
cuifod and sprang, but Alton was too ao
tive. Ue rtepped to one side and tot the
snake go by him. aad then, with a small
dub, ernatewi out the venumuue life for
ever. Then It was that Alton’s great
nerve gave way He yelled and shrieked
and cursed and lore in a mad delirium;
and whan neigtebora. attracted by hte
ertee, reeriwd Mm aa hour later, he was
frothing at the mouth, bbwdiag al the
bum* aad th. antekee were Vwn to ahreda
For weeha tee lay in hie eaten on the
outer edge of death, tert Ma sturdy cue

PITTiBVBO, May 11. —R- ports of the
damage by last night's terrible storm are
• coming in today from ail parte of Alle
gheny coun y; in fact, from nearly every
place in Eastern Ohio and Western Penn,
tylvanta. Tbe loss, however, cannot be
approximated at this time. Farms were
•aaued out, and trees along
the bank* of streams swept away, aud
landslides occurred on nearly every road
hading out ot Pittsburg.
So far but two deaths from drowning
have been repotted. Two children of Con
rad Bchaefi-r, aged 3 and 7 year* respect
ively, ot Spring Garden, north of Alle
gb< ny, were swept away by the flood
and Mr. aud Nr*. Schaefer narrowly es

AT THE CHURCHES.
TBE HOT WEATHER DOE* NOT
KEEP IN TUECKOWO.
Seeaaeas Full of Whdsa aad Truth as
Munday.
The hot weather was certainly here Sun
day, tor it Jwas pre-eminently the warin
st day of tbe year. But the churches were
well filled, and very interesting ser
mons were preached. We ate unable to
give as full a report of the sermons in to
day’s issue as we would like.
AT THE FIRST METHODIST.
Rev. W. J. Scott, of Atlanta, filled the
pulpit at this church, aud preached a good
sermon.
Mr. Scott is here as a member of the
Board of Visitors to tbe State University,
and is well known in Athens, having been
stationed here as a preacher some lime
since.
The following synopsis of sermon is en
tirely inadequate to express what was in It
He took a* bis text: “1 am the vine, ye are
the branches, aud my Father is the buss
baodinan.” He went on to say how the
branches of a vine must draw their very
life from the main vine, and how we draw
ourspiritual life from ChrisL
There are various kind of branches, two
of which might be well considered, vix:
unfruitful aud fruitful.
These classes existed in the world, and
men were fruitful or unfruitful in religion,
as they obeyed or disobeyed lhe precepts of
Christ Tbe Father was the husbandmao,
the Judge of the great harvest, who shall
•ay whether lhe branches are fruitful ot
unfruitful, aud shall Judge everyone ac-
G irding to that Baying of lhe Scrip urea:
“By tbeir fruit*, je shall know them.”
aTthb prk«bt ferian.
Dr. C. W. Lane took lor his text the
latter part of the 3rd verse of L C.<rintb
lan* < X> a. Itu rerltil Jesuit
tbe Lord, but by the Roly Gli.wL" Dr.
Lane spoke of lhe life of doerste* a* com.
pared with that of Christ He said that
Pliny had given heathen evidence of tbe
truth of tto text, wtoti he said that tbe
Chrtotiana oi lua day were a peculiar peo
ple, who roee early, and called upm tbe
oamr of tbe Lord, wh.ni they called Jesua
CbrtoL He said that tbe Christian worship
required tbe Holy Ghost; that tbe pre* uce
of the Holy Glawt should be prayed for;
and that we should do everylblng through
lhe 11.fluence of lhe Spirit of Ood. Lei
crab one, then, go out to tbe dutlee of aa
other week with the presence of Divine
gutdauce; bleach one who la la buaincM,
work w iih a view to tbe glory of Christ;
let each one In instltutiooe ot learning,
and preparing for the closing axerctoee,
put forth bis whole strength; and let it be
according to the language ot Paul when he
called himself a MrvauL Thia implies a
Ixird by the Holy Gbost.

DR. S. P. RICHARDSON
WRITE* A BI.A*HIN» LETTER
Tbe Tbirrt Party a Pare Whisky Party.
I see in the B inner-Watchman that At
lanta is about to compromise the discussion
on the Whisky question; that Dr. Talmage
thinks the disturbance and strife on tbe
Whisky issue all grows out of too bad
whisky.
I have no doubt that all the makers and
sellers and whisky-drinking church mem
bers, and preachers, will go into the Third
Party.
I am of tbe opinion that if a man will
sell whisky, the raore water be puts in, tbe
better both for the seller and buyer. Th*
less whisky a man buys, tbe better for him.
As to the poison, tbe whisky in its purest
state will counteract snake bite, and there
are but few things that can beat venom in
the way of poison.
The more poison mixed in with the
whisky poison, the better. Only a very
few habitual drunkards ever reform, but
die from drink. Why keep a man from
year to year lingering under the fearful
disease of drunkenness, when be might be
killed out of his miseryjn a week, or the
same day he gets drunk, like the man over
in Madison who died the other day soon
after drinking tbe poisont Tbe more poison
in the whisky, tbe better. What do tbe
people want to keep so many drunkards on
hand for al ouoef The fewer, tbe better.
The sooner a drunkard dies, the better for
bis wife, children and country—for be is
only iu tbe way, and a curse to all while
be livea. Suppose all the drunkards for
the last twenty years were still living, and
specially in JAtlanla, no one could live in
the city. Let Atlanta, and all other citie*,
keep on hand plenty ot bad whisky. It la
their hope. It will keep tbe more thought
ful from drinking the poison, and kill off
tbe drunkards out of tbe way.
Mqln keep on band a little pure whisky
lor these chuich members and preacher*
who are sobjrot to frequent attack* of
colic. 1 never knew am in who advocated
whisky who did not diiuk. Tbe pure Pro
hibition cause is here to stay. Good, pur*
whisky, High License—none of those flank
moVetneuia, either from press or pulpit,
can move tbe true probiblttoniata from
tbeir purpose. Whisky in tbia country has
a*a* Its day of death and ruin, and th*
totter classi* are not lu be switched off by
tto bowl that Probildtion don’t prohibit,
or good, or bad whisky. It to all poison—
only some ha* mure poison than others.

THE EXfERIMEWT FARM.
Griffin, May IL—For some day*
it waa thought that no satisfactory
agreement could b* arrived at be
tween Mr. M. L. Bataa, lb* owner of
th* site selected by tbe state sot the
Experimental Farm, and tbe com
mittee of cltixen* appointed to make
the offer of lb* property. Even up
to y«*terday il looked a* If Griffin
might lose all of ll* good luck and
tbe (arm be located elsewhere.
At lb* mewling thia morning It
waa Agreed to pay Bate* 111,000 leaa
11,000, donated by him and ibal an
additional canvas* of lb* county lie
made at once, a* lhe amount must
he paid to Bates by th* Ist of June,
oiberwiae the agreement does not
bold.
Th* gentlemen comprising th*
committee are among the very best
in lhe county and seem determined
to leave nothing undone to secure
the station.
It ia thought by m*ny that Mr.
Bate* bad no idea. wb*o be consent,
ed to sell, that Griffin had any
chance al si!, and, now that it ia
seated, be ia aorry and would like to
back out. That bia farm ia a beauty
goes without question. Certainly
no more desirable location could
prmaibly bar* been chosen by th*
authorities. •
The committee have about $4,000
to raioe above th* SIO,OOO for the
place, making <14.000 in all. and eo
far Urey have oaly about SO,OOO la
readr money. By next Naturday it
will be definitely known whether
