OF A SNAKE
A Minister
Annually Disabled Iiecame of aii Adder.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Aug. 14.—It is a general popular dictum in sections where snakes tibound that those who have been bitten will be troubled bv a recurrence of the trouble caused by the bite every yoar lor an indefinite period.
This seems to hold good in the case of the Rev. lsT. L. Jones, pastor of the Port Fulton Methodist Episcopal church, who has just returned from Greenwood sanitarium, where he was treated for snake poisoning. Mr. Jones was bitten by a red-headed adder a year ago, while at Rising Sun, and he had to walk nearly a halt hour before he gained medical assistance. He was unconscious for several hours, and it •was thought he might not recover, but finally he did get well.
This year, nearly at the corresponding date at which he was bitten, ail tne symptoms reappeared a milder lorm his ankle swelled and his flesh discolored in spots. lie suilered at the same time much pam. He tears that he will have a recurrence ot the trouble every year,especially si uce it is well known that the lather ot Rev. W. H. bhects ol this city suffered in a similar manner lor 11 years from the effects or a snake bice.

SENSATIONAL SHOOTING AFFRAY.
A Wounded Man Tries to Kill His Assailant, but Does Not Succeed. CHARLESTON. W. Ya., Aug. 14.—De
tails of a sensational shooting affray near Clay Court House, in this state, has just readied here. Satnrday night Nathan Brock and John Stephenson left that place lor their homes on Leatherwood creek, about 10 miles away. Shortly after starting they were overtaken by a man named Woods, who accompanied them.
About 1 o'clock in the morning Brock and Stephenson became involved in what was thought to be a friendly scuffle and th# latter took Brock's pistol and shortly afterward he told Brock that he was going to kill him and taking deliberate aim, fired, the ball lodging in the right shoulder, inflicting what is thought a fatal wound. About the time of the shooting a negro came along the road and Stephenson made him give up his pistol, and then at the point of a revolver made the negro and Woods stay with him, saying they could go at daylight. Brock had fainted, but in the course of an hour revived, begging pitiously for water, but Stephenson refused to allow either of the men to go tor it. He, however, consented to allow the wounded man to be taken into a deserted shanty at hand.
V.'IuLj he was being moved Woods managed to escape, and hurried back to Clay'Court House for a doctor. Time wore on. and at the end of about an hour Brock noticed that the negro was snoring and that Stephenson seemed to be asleep, he was so quiet. He began to feel around lor some weapon to use on the man who had tried to murder him, and found an old gun which had been left there by a former occupant. Thinking it might be loaded he put it nearly against Stephenson's breast and pulled both triggers, but no report followed. He then used the gun as a club, and sitting up brought it dowrn with terrible force on Stephenson's head. The man gave a startled exclamation and fell as though dead.
This wakened the negro, and without waiting to help Brock he ran away. Brock thought he had killed Stephenson and so hid himself in the bushes outside. Stephenson regained consciousness in about an hour, and after searching everywhere for Brock weut away and has not since been seen. Woods and a physician arrived from Clay Court House about daylight, and Brock was taken there in almost a dying condition, and his hurts are thought to be fatal. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Stephenson. His father is the wealthiest man in Clay county, and tne young man has always stood well. Brock is a man of good repute, though he has been several scraps. He says he knows no reason whatever for Stephenson's attempt upon his life.
ALL KINDS OF CORN.
Will Have a Siifliciency and Several Shiploads to .-.jiare. CiiicAfiO, Aug. 14.—"The bigness of our corn crop beggars the arithmetic," savs Frank P. MacLeiinan of Topeka. "Instead ot saying the state ol' Kansas now, von should use the synonym 'cornfield' tor -state.' "You will understand in a measure the corn ngures ot Kansas when I say to you tnat mo crops will be more than a quarter ol. a. billion bushels. It will exceed .500.000.000 bushels. It will give live bushels, or 400 pounds, to every man, woman and child in the United Stares and leave enough to send several shiploads to Russia. "In Kansas it is customary to say early in ihe summer, 'one more good ram will insure the corn.' Since we began to us« that stereotyped expression about the Fourth of July, we have had one ram after another—the last one a lew days ago—all coming as if provided by a terrestrial rainmaker, who had discovered the real way to find pure gold, the yellow grains of the cob, growing maize. "Nothing but a regular Illinois cyclone winch might blow the cornstalks out of the ground could now hurt the crop, and at would only give it to the adjoining counties and states and territor. Tne corn is practically 'made.' Much ot it, matured very early, and frosts have no chance for anything more than
1
dling the leaves which have
conveyed the nourishment to the oar— now able to hear and trumpet for itself."
In Scouring: a Jury.
SAN FRAN CISCO, Aug. 14.—The objection of business men to do jury duty in the case ot Theodore Durant, charged with tne murder ot Blanche Lament, and the alleged bias of those of whom are ostensibly willing, has made tho work of securing a jury exeedingly difficult. Of 20 veniremen examined yesterday no talesmen were accepted, because all declared themselves disqualified. The sworn jurymen now number eight. Judge Alurphy is anxious to hasten a trial and is preventing all delay possible. In refusing to begin contempt proceedings against various local newspaper men he has saved probably a week.
Organizing to I'roteot. IJIaoUs. CHICAGO, Aug. 14.—About 1,000 persons gathered in Chimin chapel Monday night to hear the re-port of the committee appointed to go to Spring Valley and investigate the causes of the recent trouble.
