LooAKsroRT, Ind., March 22.—James Sapp, who was arrested here last eight for passing $f> silver certificates, has met with flattering success. With the assistance of two citizens of Goodland, one of them a leading merchant of that place, the conntry west of here has been flooded with coiintrrf"ii of such line workmanship that even bankers and business men have failed to detect them. It estimated over $40,000 worth of worthless certificates are now in circulation in having been spread broadcast by ISapp and hi-> confederates. Members of the United States Secret Service have been working on the case for weeks, but not until a few dajs ago did they learn that Good laud was the base of operations Hardly a citizen of thai place has escaped being swii >dled and thousands of dollar-, of the stuff is held by her merchant s and bankers. The country is wild withexcitement and it is rumored that several more arrests will bo made to-night between Good laud and Chicago. Businessmen in this cit.\ refuse to accept $f» silver certificates until they have been pronounced good by bankers. Sapp is from one of the best families in Newton county and only married ten months ago. Mr. Hares, arrested in Goodland on a similar charge, is proprietor of a general store and was also recently unt - ried. "In addition to this rich coal lands lie in the neighborhood of Punxsutawney, which have never been developed. The eo il makes excellent coke, and with a competing line and new coke tields better railroad rates and lower prices for coke would bo guaranteed. This is what Sir. Carnegie wants, and hero is the remedy for existing evils suggested." Mr. Baldwin is out of the city and will not return until Saturday. Whether the Rochester A 'Pittsburg toad will bo extended in the near future could not bo definitely learned, but it is more than probable that the original intention of the company will bo carried out and Pittsburg will have another outlet for her product's. [Fittvbarg Dispatch.] "It U reasonable to snppoM," Mid an old railroad man yesterday, "that the Buffalo, Rochester &, Pittsburg road will soon be extended to this oity. That was the original intention of the company, and the line is projected on all the maps. The road now enters the city over the Allegheny Valley from Falls Creek. "I have heard some talk to this efl'ect lately in railroad circles, and the appointment of Mr. Baldwin as manager of the road would seoui to confirm the rumor. His experience and energy are will k; own. lie h determined to iucreaso its facilities, and make it a still more valuable line. "The road touches Lake Erie at Buffalo* and readies Lake Ontario at Charlotte by way of Rochester. It. extends through a rich section of couutry, and it is strange the tracks were never laid to this city. The road is now in operation as far down as Punxsutawney, and it would not require much money to extend it to Pittsburg. If this were done tho city would have a direct route to the lakes, and the northeast and northwest country could be more easily reached. $f99sicfans. Office two floors eftfit of the Poat Office. T)R.

The counterfeit is of the series of isst> and is almost a perfect imitation of the genuine. Several of these spurious bills have been presented to the Haiti more A.'Ohio ticket agent, L. I). Hartholamew, but knowing them he was only taken in on one. The banks also have refused a number of them. The counterfeits are about the thirty-second of an inch wider and sixteenth of an inch longer than the genuine, while the picture of Gen. Grant is very imperfect. The paper is very tlimsy and the green ink on the back is a shade darker, while the blue and red ink used on the front are not so bright, as on the genuine bills.

Cunningham in rather a small man of very dark complexion, with a thick mat of very dark hair. He has keen, piercing eyes and talks with wonderful rapidity, lie was born in India, near Calcutta. His parents were Irish, and were sent out by the English Government for department work in that province. It was in the jungles of India that Cunningham discovered from tlio natives the formula for making the deadly lotion so fatal to poisonous reptiles. Colouel Irvine, who lives jnst on the outskirts of Richmond, had three barrels of Anderson county whisky 14 years old in his cellar, lie left the bnngholes open to ago it faster and make it n.ellow. Judge of his snrpriso when he went to show it to some visiting friends ono morning to tind that it was nearly all gone, and in one of the barrels only about two gallo s were left. In this barrel over 40 large blacksnakes were discovered in a beastly state of iutoxicution, while in the dark corners of the cellar groups of rattlesnakes were coiled, some soberiug up, while others were in various stages of iutoxication. Colouel Shackleford, of the firm of Shackleford A Gentry, owned a half interest in tho whiskey destroyed by the snakes, and to that gentleman the reporter is indebted for these facts. Richmond, (Ky., March 92—Patrick Cunningham, of this place, U death to snakes and venomona reptile* of all kinds. The snake that bites him dies In great agony, frothing at the month and swelling to almost donble its former proportions. Cunningham has discovered a poison more deadly than that of tlio reptile, but harm less as a lotion for the human boi.y, and the moment the fangs of the snake cotno in contaot with it a powerful electrical curreut is generated that drives the snake's own poison through every blooil vessel in its body, liiood poisoning is the result which, with the terrible electricil shock, causes almost instant death. ,Cnnning ham killed during last summer over 17,- 000 snakes ic Madison oouuty, and realized quite a handsome sum by his wonderful skill on driving those.offensive reptiles from the premises of our citizens. Mr. J. B. Parks, who owns a beautiful farm near Kingston,, was overrun with rattlesnakes and blacksnakes. lie lost several head of tlno Jersey cows which died from the ett'eots of rattlesnake bites. Then the blacksnakes carried oft hundreds of his young chickens. The place swarmed with snakes, so Cunningham was called in. Ho can locate a den of snakes by their scont as easily as a dog can track a rabbit, lie did not trail for them to come out of their hole, but. whenever it was practicable he crawled in after them and killed them right and left , with a club ho carried. All that b'i him died, but of course the larger number of snakes he encountered in his labor could not all get a chance to bile him and had to be dispatched with a club. Me estimates the number of snakes killed on Parks' farm at 4,000. ryR. 8. C. ALLISON, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, PDNMCTAWNKY, PA. Offers his services to the people of Punxsatawney and vicinity.

"On next Saturday," said the professor to-day, "I shall give an exhibitiou of my now telautograph to some gentlemen from tho East. I have already tested it to my own satisfaction over and over again. By my iuvention you can sit down at your office in Chicago, take a pencil in your hand, write a message to me, and as your pencil moves a pencil hero in my laboratory moves simultaneously, and forms the samo letters and works in tho same way.

"The two pencils move synchronously, and there is no reason why a circuit of 500 miles cannct bo worked as easily as one of | 10 miles. The telautograph will supplant1 the telephone for many purposes, for it will have marked advantages over it. It will lie noiseless, less affected by induction, and uo misunderstandings'can result. When one person wishes to communicate with another by the telautograph, he pushes a button, which rings an annunciator in the exchange, or in the otllce of the person with whom he wishes to converse.

Hill was about to reply, when Allysworth fired, the bullet passing through Hill's head just above the eye, inflicting a fatal wound. Allysworth then went out on the street and began tiring promiscuously at everybody.
