Horrible Death fcy Suffocation.
A terrible catastrophe happened at Penn
on Monday, whereby two men were auflben
ted by foul gasscs from a privy vault, and
another so overcome from the eflbots of the
same that powerful restoratives woro found
necessary to aave hi, lifo. Tbo names of
the parties whose cases proved fatal wore
John Stottor, a Ocrman, and William
Blackburn, an Irishman. They, had just
finished making au excavation some twenty
feet deep alongside an old privy vault, bo
longing to the I'enn gas coal company, for
the purpose of tapping it, and had ascended
ascended to the surface, when the German
remembered that ho had left a crowbar at
the bottom. lie descended for the pur
pose of securing it, and, feeling the effects
of the noxious gases mado haste to get out
informing his companion to assist him. As
he ascended, Blackburn reached him his
hand, but it being wot Stottor was unablo
to retain his hold and fell to the bottom.
Blackburn alarmed somo others near by,
who proceeded to lower him (Blackburn) for
the purpose of bringing Stottcr up. Beach
ing the bottom, ho, too, was overcome, but
was speedily drawn out and medical aid
summoned, which was rospouded to by Dr.
Kemmerer. Restoratives wore administer
ed and he was soon able to walk about. A
few hours afterward, however, ho becume
worse, and after lingering a short time ex
pired.' Ym. Simmons, in his heroic efforts
to withdraw Blackburn from the pit of
death, came near meeting a similar fate,
but as he did not descend to the bottom tho
effects of tho poison were more easily coun
teracted. As it was he was insensible when
taken out. The parties were both married
men, Stctter leaving a wifo and two chil
dren. Qretnburg Argut.
Kot Hurt, but Terribly Scared.
Two gentlemen residing in Sacramento,
Cal., were startled a few nights ago by
loud screams proceeding from a room oc
cupied by a lady member of the family.
'Inquiry elicited the information that
" there was a centipede on her bed." The
gas was at tho time turned down quite
low, but the men could see the insect on
the bed, and doubling a towel several
times, one of them cast it over the centi
pedo, and clutched it tightly to prevent its
escape. One of the gentlemen was some
what of an amateur scientist, and desired
ardently to preserve the centipedo as a
specimen. Accordingly, tho captured in
sect was carried in the towel to a drug
store. The druggist poured chloroform on
the towel to stupefy the creature and to
prevent tho possibility of its escape, and
one of the clerks stood by with an uplifted
club, to strike it should it attempt to get
off. The towel was opened, and the ex
pectant lookers on, were astonished to find
that all the fuss had been made over a
little strip of calico.
In a Bad Fix.
There is a railway agent at Ilagcrstown,
Maryland, who would probably like to re
sign. The " Southern Circus and Men
agerie" came to that place upon a freight
. train the other day, and as the proprietors
could not pay tho charges for transporta
tion, the cars woro seized by the agent and
switched off upon a siding, where they
have remained ever since. Upon the
agent, Mr. Way devolves the duty of feed
ing the elephants, tigers, hyenas and boa
constrictors, and they have already eaten
up considerable more than the amount of
his claim, while as all tho - children in the
village congregate about the menagorie
every evening, Mr. Way is obliged to spend
his spare moments in efforts to keep the
zoological collection from devouring the
spectators and making the company liable
for damages. The situation of the man
who held the tiger by the tail, and was
afraid to let go, was cheerful in comparison
with this.
2f"A few miles from Fort Madison,
Iowa, is an apple orchard growing in tho
midst of a dense forest. The peculiarities
of tho trees are first, the shape of the leaf,
which is much larger than tho ordinary
apple leaf, being long and quite slender ;
second, they bear fruit of tho finest flavor
and parties come for miles around to taste
them, and some take leaves and press them
to keep as curiosities. An old settler re
lates that about 1705 Rod Wing, a famous
young chief, on his return from St. Louis,
spent a few days at St. Charles, Mo., then
a small settlement, now a flourishing city.
While there be was given a few apples to
eat, wbich be seemed to enjoy very much,
and asked for some of the trees. One of
the settlers procured some twenty-five,
young sprouts and gave him the necessary
instructions in planting them. These he
carried a distance of one hundred miles to
bis home, and planted them around his
wigwam. Tho famous old chief Black
Hawk gave this as the true origin of the
trees. They are upward of eighty years
old, and from present appearances, will
live many years to come.
lf A Luzerne hunter found a couplo of
snakes, and instead of shooting them threw
his gun at them, but Leforo it reached
them the butt end struck the ground with
such force as to cause Ike gun to explode.
The contents took effect in tho young
niau's thigh, producing a severe wound,
while the snukea mado good their escape
unharmed.
