Husquchnnnn, Aug. 3. A party of
Milestone qunrrymen, working nonr
Hcil Uock on a mountain side, with
ilynumlte, recently tore oft an unusual
ly larRP mass or earth, down the elc
ollvlty thero came, writhing ami roll
ing, a bunch of snakes, which Mr,
"Wlntlirop, the fotetnan, says was as
laiKo us a barrel. They were of dif
ferent varieties, rattlesnakes, black
snakes, adders and garters. When
iltt dlstmbed they -were active and
dangerous, but In the scorching heat
of tha sun they became comparatively
harmless, and were killed or covered
up In the dump by earth and stone.
Kvery day and every blast since
similar bunches of reptiles have been
unearthed. Those that escape the lab
urer'ri picks crawl off and die among
the rocks. Hundreds have been killed.
Among them are reptiles six and seven
feet long nnd as largo around as a
man's wrist. Scores of people visit the
quarry dally to see the slaughter of
fiiiakes.

Near Gulf Summit, a few days since,

blanched faces, both expecting to see
the mangled remains of the little one
lying on the track, nut what wns their
surprise and Joy when they found the
little one lying Just behind the driv
ers apparently uninjured. It wus
drawn out at once, when It was found
that besides a scratch on the face it
.hart escape J all injury. It seems that
.when the tender knocked It down It

gineer stopped Just In time to save Its
.life.

',Wlt Coleman, an Erie railroad
b'raKeman on a freight train, set out
one- bitter night last winter to (lag a.
passenger train near Great Hend. He
i was out about half an hour, and when
he oama back his lingers and ears were
baaly frozen. After he got some whls.
ky down him and rubbed his hands
.and eare In snow, the trainmen tried
to remove hia boots, but his feet were
o badly froien that they could not ba
pulled off. Coleman wm an economi
cal fellow, and he would not' allow the
men to cut. them off his feet. He said
that the boots had cost him $7 but two
weeks before, nnd ho could not nfford
to lose thdin so soon, oven If by so do
ing he would bo relieved of his suffer
ings. It was finally agreed to take
Coleman out to the locomotive, stick
Ills boot heels between the slats of the
"cow catcher," and then back up.
When everything was ready tho engi
neer reversed his engine nnd the men
clung to Coleman's urms nnd should

no fun In It. You could have heard

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Aug, I. There was nothing im
portant in tod.ij'a dealings In stocks and bonds.
The undertone of the market was firm owing to
the K-aity offerings of stocks, but the cflorU
to arouse any tpeculativc enthusiasm were quite
futile, outside of a moderate demand for the
iron and steel shares which generally advanced
from 1 to 1, the latter figure representing
the extreme gain by Tennessee Coal. The re
port of yellow feer in Florida caused heavi
ness in one or two nouthern railway lines and
Brookljn Transit was alloc ted by reports of la
bor disaffection. Sugar continued on its couroe
towards iccoNery and the upward movement in
Union Pacitlc was continued, the other trans
continental railroads showing some sympathy
The list yielded konicwhat on tho bank statement
but nothing like import liquidation was In evi
dence. The closing was dull and rather heavy
with the steel industrials and a few other (re
clames showing tho only notable net changes.
Total sales, P2.J00 shares. Dullness in bonds is
even more marked than in .stool , the aerage
volume of dealing being considerably le-s than
half those at this time last year. United Stales
icfumllng 2s when issued ban' declined 1 and the
Ss, old 4s and 5s H per cent, in the bid price
on call.
