SQUEEZED BY AN ANACONDA.
A Try In j ; Moment for mi Expert Snake
Handler.
Now York Times : "It's the easiest
tiling in the world whan you do it prop
erly , ' ' Hermann Roicho , the dealer In
wild . animals , renmrkcd yesterday
morning to nn otnnloyo who was having
Bomo little difllculty in transferring
eight anacondas from the rough wooden
hex in which thpy had just arrived at
the Park-row establishment to a glass
onso placed for their reception in the
front store next to the ono occupied by
JOBS , the dancing baboon.
DThree months ago n child could have
handled the spotted beauties with im
punity , because then they would have
been fully under the inllucnco of the
torpor which overcomes them in the
winter months , but which departs as
soon as the warmth of summer begins
to bo felt. As the seven snakes , which
had not yet boon transferred , running
from twelve to sixteen foot in length ,
IR. celled together in a corner
of the box , they looked very
pretty and quite harmless.
Occasionally ono of them would
Bend n muscular thrill through his _ con
voluted organism which would stir the
whole mass a little , and now nnd then
a forked tongue would dart out and dis
appear in an instant. Otherwise they
looked absolutely lethargic and per
fectly frco from guile. So , when young
Roiclio proceeded to show how easy it
was to handle the South American boa-
constrictor , when the proper method
was pursued it looked as though the
man engaged in the work hardly heeded
the prolTercd instruction. "You simply
seize the snake first by the neck , close
'by the head , "thus , " said Mr. Roicho ,
suiting the action to the word , and
causing the serpent mass to shudder
throughout it's entire extent. "Then , "
ho added as ho drew the snake ho had
grasped out from the constrictpr tauglo
of which it formed part , "when its tnid-
dlo shows up , thus , you grasp it gently
but firmly , thus , and .lift it into the
glass case , thus. "
The snake dropped softly into the
case , lay as it foil , and so did live others ,
each of them bearing patient testimony
to the facility with which the biggest
kind of snakes are handled , when
properly handled.
The seventh took upon himself to
prove the converse ) of Mr , Roicho's es
tablished proposition. Ho was not
handled properly. Mr. Roicho made a
careless grab for his neck and caught
it about thrco inches below the head
instead of close to it. In nn instant the
reptile , the largest ono of the lot , tossed
torpor to the winds and began very
energetically to dart its open jaws in
the direction of his captor's wrist with
very unamiablo intent. Mr. Roicho
lifted the the writhing snake's head
high in the air and boizcd it by the
middle. The snake resented the action
and freed itself by a muscular oiTort
that was irresistably strong and'suddon.
In a moment the snake was free of the
box nnd began twining its lith form
around young Roicho's log and body.
Roicho , who is well aware of the crush
ing power of of a constrictor's hug ,
called for help , and every employe of
the establishment was at tils side in an
instant. They know how to act in the
emergency , and in a very few moments
they nnd unwound the anaconda , de-
Bpito its powerful struggles , and placed
it in the glass case , whore it at once
lapsed into a condition of content , very
strangely in contrast with its previous
excitement.
"Not so easy to handle anacondas , af
ter all , " the instructed employe re
marked to his master , smiling. "Yes ,
eaid Mr. Rcicho , who looked a little
palo. and frankly acknowledged that ho
had had a bad scare ; "tho trouble was
that I handled that follow wrongly. Al
ways catch thorn close as possible to the
head. "

( Severe Treatment of a Mormon Con
vert.
Philadelphia Lodger : The Mormon
missionaries who have boon trying tc
"ovangolixo" the cotmt.y people in portions
tions of West Virginia have not mot
with a cordial reception from many ol
the natives , nor have their occasional
converts become objects of popular ven
eration. "AmongthodUtrictsin which
those missionaries have boon at work , '
says 11 special to the Now York World ,
"is that of Yellow Crook , in Calhomi
county. They made several converts
when the people became indignant and
ran thorn out of the county. Several ol
the converts remained after the mis-
sioniirios loft and the citizens began tc
threaten them with all sorts of voir
Roanco. John \V. Metis , ono of the
converts , received several threatening
loiters ordering him to leave. Motz , in-
atoad of leaving the neighborhood
rented another farm and was preparing
to move , when on the night before the
house ho was to occupy was burner
down , nnd a letter tacked on the fence
in which the writers threatened Xo burn
every house ho tried to occupy. Mots
was stubborn nnd determined to remain
nnd secure another house , which was
also burned the night before ho was tc
move in it. Ho failed to gut anothoi
house for BOIUO time , the owners boinj (
afraid tholr property would sulTor , bul
nt last ho succeeded , nnd was prepar
ing1 to move again when that , too , \\nt
burned , making in all thrco houses
within a few weeks. The ofllcors np
pear to have no clue to the porpctnv
tors , who now threaten Motz with dealt
if ho does not leave. There were r
number of alleged Mormon converts ii
the neighborhood , but they have al
boon frightened off or run out of the
connty. There does not appear to bo i
disposition to run down the porpestra
tors of thuso outrages. "

CHICAGO PllODUQIS MAIIKET.
CIIICAOO , April 23. [ Special Telegram
to the BEE. ! Nothing but rnln or rnthcr the
lack of rnln was of much Interest to wheat
traders this morning , Thcso gentleman biul
gene homo yesterday with confidence In the
prediction that , it would rain last night , but
what tttlo rain did coma was far from the
winter wheat bolt. Now preparations had
been mndo for a weakness and a drop in
prices which should attend a liberal rain fall
In the winter wheat country , such prepara
tions consisting in "soiling short" of greater
or less amounts. Thcro was an early dispo
sition to cover that short wheat with the least
iwsslblo loss , and under that demand there
was afo higher opening nnd an immediate
further advance of jftc. There did not seem
to bo nny great demand for wheat from outside -
side sources , however , nnd asldo from the
weather nnd qrop reports generally , news
was a trlllo bearish , Receipts were largo
and exports practically nothing , whllo Now
York advised that orders for wheat for expert -
port wcro below the market , though later It
was rejxirtcd that fourteen boat loads had
been taken. Cables wcro no lower ,
but that was the best that could
bo said for them. Moreover , It was esti
mated that the visible supply would show
llttlo or no decrease. These things inado
some longs willing to take small profits and
encouraged some short selling , the prlco de
clining to about the opening figures , then , on
the report of wheat taken for export ns men
tioned above , there was a sharp advance of
about % c , half of which was lost before the
close. Juno wheat opened nt 81J c , advanced
to 82 c , declined to S2 > cnnd closed at 82 > ( < i
8'c. ! May wheat opened nt SO c , sold nt
@SO c , up to 81 , 0 nnd closed at 80 c.
The estimates of the winter wheat crop were
much talked about , the bears claiming that
.hey showed a better prospect than other recent
cent reports , but If the condition in Michigan ,
Ohio , Indiana and Illinois bo taken as there
_ ivcn nnd from that be deducted the proportions
tions to DO plowed ns is evidently meant , the
prospect would seem to bo quite ns bad ns
that of nil but the most extreme reports. In
dividual reports continue bad and one of the
most important received to-day was from
California saying that the San Joaquin valley
exceed two-thirds of last '
could not - year's
crop and would probably bo less.
There was no especial feature to the corn
market to-day. It was almost monopolized
by scalping local traders and the course of
prices seemed to depend very much upon
whether a majority of those traders were
long or short at nny particular time. Kc-
ccipts were considerably less than expected ,
and this , with the continued dry weather ,
helped to ndvauco the market which fell
again , when the estimate of still larger re
ceipts for Monday became known , then nd-
.vnnced again on an evening up by shorts ,
preparatory for Sunday. Juno corn opened
at 54c , which was J @ c higher than yes
terday's close , advanced to 55e , declined to
fiJJ e , sold up to 55c again nnd closed nt. > 4J < c.
May corn opened at Ki c , sold up to 55 } < @
B.V e , down to 5lc and closed at 55j ( i255Ha.
The report of the secretary of the Illinois
grain dealers association upon the amount of
corn outside the visible supply has Just been
made. It estimates the amount still In
farmer's hands in Nebraska , Iowa , Missouri
and Illinois at 10 per cent of the crop. It
states thnt there are but about 500,000 bushels
of corn in the aggregate at all the stations on
the Is. & M. road. Both estimates are much
smaller than has been generally believed.
There was rather an active speculative
trade in oats with the market strong and
higher early , declining later under frco real
izing sales , but recovering again before the
close. May oats opened at 32c and closed
at32U c. Juno and July oats opened and
closed nt 32Xc , August closing at 29 c ,
September oats sold from 28fc to 2S ) c.
In the provision trade there was no un
usual change. Cash property met with a
comparatively fair demand , but the specula
tion indulged in was limited and featureless.
Still the market commanded fair attention ,
and prices were hold steady nt the late de
pression. Based on last night's final prices ,
the closings showed a scarcely quotable
alteration. May , Juno , July and August
were favorite deliveries. For May , pork sold
at $ ll.r ! r > @ 18.GO , lard at S7.SO@7.82 > < ? , and
short ribs nt $7.15. Pork , for the same
month , closed nt $13.57 } < f , with Juno lOo nnd
July 20o higher. May lard stood at S7.82K nt
the close , Juno being quoted nt $7.85 , July nt
? 7.90 and August at $7.0:5. : Short ribs for
May closed at 87.15 , with Juno at $7.20 , July
nt $7.30 awl August at $7.40. Late futures
wcro quiet.

CIIICAOO , April 28. [ Special Telegram to
the BEK.I CATTLE Business was unusually
slow , oven for Saturday. The run was less
than the average , yet buyers seemed utterly
indifferent , sitting in the shade of the ex-
chnnga building exchanging ideas and specu
lating on next week's supply rather than lookIng -
Ing over the stock on hand. Of course , the
run last week was big and every buyer wont
In for a big string and , again , the theory with
buyers is strong that receipts next wcok , on
account of the expiration of contracts , will
bo more than ordinarily heavy nnd that they
can get ail they want nnd on days that suit
them. Some salesmen that had stcors that
they fancied would not bring the money they
were worth considered it useless

of trading was In cows , bulls and
other odds and ends , all of which
sold about the same ns heretofore. Yet steers

NKW YOKK , April 2b. [ Special Telegram
to the BBC. ] STOCKS The stock market
to-day was a repetition of former days dur
ing the wcok nnd higher prices wcro again
recorded , the last sales being at about the
outsldo llgures of the day and wcok. New
England , Northwestern , Northern Pacific
preferred and cotton oils and Gould stocks
were the leaders , and gains of S'tf to 3J { were
recorded for the day. New England led the
list and was unusually active. Humors of a
consolidation were again rife , but the latest
story was that it had been leased to Now
York and New Haven for 2 per cent or
the guaranteed stock. Sowcll , the ncwlj
elected director , is known in Boston as the
"great consolidator , " nnd this is undoubtedly
the basis for the numerous stories. Burling'
ton advanced IJf nnd Missouri Paclflo Z ) { .
The impression grows that Gould U nt the
buck of the lutter and also under Manhattan ,
which gciccd a point. Professional traderi
have rcaUzcd freely the past three days , nnd
ployed for n reaction , but have been beaten ,
their stock being absorbed by various pools
which hnvo in many instances increased
their holdings. London bought moderately
nnd stimulated buying by timid operators
who never tnnko up their minds to toke a
hold until largo gains have been recorded.
Thd bank statement showed nn increase in
the reserve of $2,3-19,550 , but a decrease in
loans of $ 1,002,0000. The latter is rather n
bad feature , as it shows that less money Is
being required for new enterprises. Money
is cay , however , and llablo to contlnuo so for
some time. This Is the great bulwark of the
bulls nnd they parade it on nil occasions.

Now York Journal : A stout man in
buir-colored overalls climbed a ladder
which ho had placed in front of the
store windows of No. 7tt Bergen street ,
Brooklyn , yesterday morning and with
one swoop of a paint brush obliterated
the lettering which had appeared on a
black sign with ti gilt border.
Several men and a couple of ladies
saw the painter wipe out the lettering1.
From the language used hy the men it
would appear that they would have boon
most happy to have como in contact , if
only for a few minutes , with the indi
vidual whoso name had graced that
Mgn.
"Johnson d'Abore , Tonsorinl parlors.
Special parlor for ladies. " This is
what the signboard had said. And the
place had gained some ropnto among
the fashionable people in that section.
The parlors were handsomely fitted.
np and the proprietor had plenty of cus
tomers.
What caused the obliteration of the
Danish barber's name from the sign waa
the fact that he had gone away leaving
behind him innumerable debts , a dis
consolate wife , and taking with him a
pretty Swedish girl who was madly ia
love with him.
A year ago last July ' 'Professor" Juka
Bigolow , who was then proprietor ol
the tonborlnl parlors , died , leaving n
pretty and plump little German widow ,
who continued the business with the
financial assistance and custom of
"Snapper" Garrison , the woll-known
jockey. She eventually engaged John-
bond'Aboro to superintend the work.
Afterward she married him.
Having become proprietor of the
place , IVAboro also became a man about
townand in the course of his excursions
about the city ho met Augusta Larson ,
who kept the White Star laundry , at
No.17U Bergen street. She had u good
business , and 'ould alTord to enjoy her
self. The shine of the Dane's patent
leathers or bis handbonio whiskers
caught her fancy , and when ho told her
ho was u bachelor she accepted his ad
vances.
Uo told her ono day last wcok thnt ho
had sold out hlB.busincss and was going
out west. She was disconsolate nnd ho
pursunded lior that they might be happy
together if she would boll out nnd ac
company him. This was putting hen
love to the test , but she was equal to the
emergency.
For fcovoral days the Dane wont
among his friends borrowing monov.
He managed to collect about 8300. He
'got 20 of this from plumber Thoinna
Pitt and $48 from a poor Norwegian
domestic , who had lately received the
money from the old country. In the
meantime Augusta sold out her laundry.
On Saturday the pair loft the city and
it is supposed that they are on their way
west together. ,
The departure of the Dtino became
known Saturday evening and his wife
went into hysterics when told of it. The
people to whom ho owed money put tbo
sherilTs into the tonsorinl parlors on
Monday and the deserted wlfo doesn't
know how bho will got thorn out.
