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."

strange imint.? Joo has s,
been paroled from prison to try anil v
untangle another chapter in his mat- 112
rimouiul oareer. j
As will ha remembered by News ,
readers a woman by the name of Mrs. |
Terry drowned iu the river at Ber-
wick last week, and after develop- {
montH following tlio woman's death a
cansotl Joe to believe that the woman
was his long missing wife. 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.
"Bucket stiops"—a name now used

was wheat. The legitimate dealers
wo'i'J not handle an order for less
than oanxj bushels, and then a let of

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
