HUM i SNAKE TALK There are still inquiries concerning that offer of fifty dollars for a speci- J men of a horned-tail snake,which wan made by Professor H. A. Surface, 1 State Zoologist, Harrisburg. In the i Professor's mail the other day there was a letter from South Eaton, Wyom ing county, Pennsylvania, containing i the following information: "We have in our possession a snake , we call a horned-tail snake, which has ; the appearance of being very poison ous. It has no teeth, the only means of defense that we can see about it be ing a horn-like bone at the end of the tail about an inch long." Following is Professor Surface's re ply: "I have received your letter stating that you have in your possession a Horned-Tail Snake,or at least a snake that has a horn-like bone on the end of its tail, about an inch long. It is true that I offered fifty dollars reward for a Horned-Tail Snake, if such prov ed to be anything else than some of . the known species of serpents, such as i the Blowing Viper or the Milk Snake, j or some other already known kind. J I This was to prove or settle the con ] troversy of the existence of a Horned- Tail Snake. Such belief was common throughtout the country,but not prop- i erly established. '• If you are willing to send me your j specimen by express, I will pay the | expressage oil it, and if it does not prove to be some ordinary serpent such as we already know, and should | prove to be such a thing as could be called a Horned-Tail Snake, I shall pay you a reward for it. "I hope this makes clear the facts of the reward which has been offered and i which has not yet been taken up by any genuine specimen submitted." An East Indian Crima.

I i A number of years ago Joe married j a woman at Northumberland, as he i says, to spito another woman, and ] 112 as a result thoy soon agroed to (lis- \ agree and a separation followed. The woman left Northumberland and Joe lost all trace of her, not knowing ( where she had gone. j 1 Several years later believing that she was dead he went to New York State where he"woood and won anoth er woman and quickly married her. Some time afterward this new wife died and Joe then got into trouble | here by stealing chickens and served a j term iu the Montour county jail. Soon j after his release here he was caught j lifting fowls in Riverside and was put j ! away for a term at Suubury. I Following the drowning of the | woman at Berwick last week, Joe j made the statement that he had good 1 reasons* to believe that she was his missing wife and that he intended to make an investigation. On Monday he went to Judge Savidge, accompan ied by an attorney, and said the wom an was his wife and as neither one of them had ever secured a divorce she could not legally marry another man. He also said that he had learned that the woman owned some property and he requested to be excused from jail for several days to inquire into her estate. The request was granted anil yes terday morning Joe and his attorney J left for Berwick. The Bucket Shop.

Dl 5, SO, 27, JB. .nrtlN IS BROKEN repairs ou the water main, \\ liich ssitated a shut-down at tlie pump ug station Tuesday night, were not souipleted yesterday morning,although t was found possible to operate the system during the day. liast night it was necessary to stop the pumps again, For tlio purpose of completing the re pairs. PIPE WAS BROKEN. Tlie leak was caused by a broken pipe forming a part of the main near the intersection of Front and Ferry streets. A "sleevo" was adjusted, tlie operation occupying practically all night. When the pumps were started, about 4 o'clock yesterday morning, the leak still existed, although the waste of water was materially reduced. The break unfortunately is situated so near the pumping station that it is imprac ticable to withdraw the water from that section without leaving the whole town dry. Such a measure, of course, during week days is not to be contem plated unless actually unavoidable. It was, therefore, decided yesterday morning to complete the repairs last night and to improve the time inter vening by procuring a better fitting "sleeve." On 6lmtting down Superin tendent P. J. Keefer stated that he did not think it would require mort than a few hours last night to com plete the repairs. CAUSE A MYSTERY. Persons who may justly claim ex per I knowledge are at a loss to understand why the main should break under pre sent conditions. It is no unusual thiuf, for the lead to be forced out at tin joints, thus causing a leak; but at actual fracture in the pipe should oc cur only at long intervals and ther only when frost or some other agencj disturbs the position of the pipe. A similar break occurred in the mail at tlie big mill on Saturday. Shouh similar fractures in the water mail follow within a short time it will hi sufficient to oanso some apprehensiot lest the whole system of mains laic when the water works were installed nearly forty years ago, has existed iti allotted time and is ou the eve of go lug to the bad. None seem to have any definite idei as to the "life" of pipe laid under ground. All agree that it depend largely upon tlio nature of the eartl in which the pipe is laid. (May, it ap pears, lias a tendency to preserve tli pipe, while cinder, owing to tlio pres ence of sulphur, is injurious to it The End of the Ride.

Oeigor wan elected jastor of the Trinity Lutheran church, bin city, at a congregational meeting leld on Monday night. In all probabil ty official sanction will he given to lie election by the church council and i call will he extended. The Rev. Mr. Geigor came to Dan pi lie oil October Ist an pastor of the Lutheran charge comprising St. John's church, this city, and the churches of Qrovaiiia and Ridgeville. In point of ability he has made a most excellent impression, his sermons being sound in doctrino and suited to the needs of the people, while socially he has be come very popular. The action of the Trinity Lutheran church in electing him comes as an early and striking recognition of the merits of the young, pastor. The Trinity Lutheiun ohurch ha* been without a pastor since the resig nation of the Rev. L. D. Ulrich last summer. In the interim the pulpit ha<% been filled by visiting clergymen, among whom were several candidates What Yeomen Were. Yeomen were formerly considered to be by their title ou a level witli es quires, and they were called yeoiiie:» because, in addition to the weapons proper for close engagements, they fought In the wars with arrows and a bow which was made of yew; Hence the word. After the conquest the name of yeoinun. In reference to the original ollice in war. was changed to that of arc her.
