The m.cet iirtterestihs; case In tho Police Court yesterday was that against Samuel Marx, a butcher in the City Miiirket, and C. R. Bridges, steward of -the Atlantic Hotel! an old and trusted employe of that establish ment. They w>jre charged with con? spiracy to defraud the hot;'l am the weights of moat purchased for Its use by Bridges from Marx. As Justice Tomlk.n had heard the evidence of the prrseeutlon, he had Justice Dal ton ''.to hoar the case. Mr, K. A. Dodson testified that hav? ing rowclghed tlie mecit received from Marx, since ills susplctan was aroused some days ago, he found u shortage, which Bridges said had amounted to $48.03 since March 1st. When 'the steward made a conffss'/itii. stalling that Marx had slated 'thsit he could not profitably supply the meat used by Mie Atlantic at the rate In effect1, an arrangement was made by which he was to accept short weight. Bridges lidthttUO that the arrange men-t wms '.that he should receive half of the profits, and said Marx was to receive the other half, and the trlm miirt.gs besides. The arrangements, he said, wore fully carried out. He said that Marx ibid him that he fMorx) expected to go Cut West shortly ai.ad arrange for another grade of meat with which he could supply Mr. Dod? son with profit under the contract, and thai lie would then make good to the Atlantic Hotel the am.runt of bt?ef he was saving by the light-weight ar? rangement. Wluita Miarx look tho slar.d he denied the charges preferred by Bridges, i'l.a;.mlng thai the weight wus good, the retriinming of th; mcatli causing; he alleged, the shortage. The case was argued by Mr. Q. M. Dillard for the At'lantic, Judge D. Tucker Brooke for Marx and Judge Willcox for Bridges. The court decided that the evldihce was no., strong enough to con? vict and both prisoners were dis? charged. POEIOE COURT CASES. Smiaill Dockot Disposed Oif by His Honor, Justice To ml km Hon.

SNAKES PICK IIIS HOPS. : Indiana Man Dees Away with Human Labor, and Incurs Deadly Enmity. (Vermilllon, Ind.. Correspondent Chicago Inter-Oec.i n.) Hop picking is one qf th - principal In? dustrie's of this county, and gives em? ployment to several hundred persons ?toll year. In isnr. the employers had considerable trouble with th* pickers over the question >f wages. The pick? ers wished to be paid by the hour, but the hop growers wished 'to maintain the present scale by the plcc.?. The matter as a general proposition Is still unsettled except by one hop grower, ,.T:i<-.l> Presley. on Deer IV.ck bottoms. He did not hire any pickers at all this year, and yet his hops are all picked and cured. The story Is a curious one and begins In 1S9.", iwhen Mr. Presley first noticed two yellow snakes in his hoi? Heids. His first impulse was to kdl them, i>ul their action., were bo odd that he stopped Co watch them. Thf snakes would ellnvb tin- hop poles and pick every blossonj, throwing '.hem upon the greund. Then they would extract a certain amount of hep .fiom the stalk and pass ? ' V i.exl one. This set M- Presley thinking if snak-s could not be utilized instead of men and wo? men. In the spring oif 1S9G he found a nest I of thirteen yellow snakes down by the ere k and. capturing them alive, he : ink them horn.--. In the fall he tried them on th hop fields while the men w?re absent, ami with such success ho determined tu use them this year. Accordingly he hired no hands, to 'the gl' lilt surprise of his inolgliVors. In : toad he turned tho snakes loose, -mit? tag 150 baskets on Wie ground to catch the hops as they f 11. The experiment was a gr at success, lv t Mr. Presley has Incurred th" deadly enmity of the H p Pickers' Union, the president of which, Rob Hahernut, premises to put a boy? cott on Presley's snake-picked hops this, winter. AIR OP MAMMOTH CAVES. 80 Pure nnd Bracing that It Might Be Used for a Sanitarium. In tho March Century there. Is nn article on "The Mammoth Cave of Kentucky," by John R. Proctor, formerly State geolo? gist of Kentucky. Mr. Proctor, in de? scribing the tour of the enve, says: "Some, distance on we cumn upon two stone cottfiffes built against one of the walls of the avenue. These are the re? mains of n number that were built In the cave In 1843 for the abode of consumptive patients. It was believed that the purn air of the rave would effect a cure, and fif? teen consumptives took up their abode her,-? and remained for (Ivo months without going cutslde. It Is snid that when thev did go out thrco died before they could reach the hotel. Something more than purity Is required?sunlight. It Is said that the saltpetre miners had remarkable heult n while working In the cave, and people with weak lungs are certainly tone Ilted by short walks in this atmosphere. 1 believe In time that these' Immense reser? voirs of dry, pure, antiseptic air will be utilized for the cure of consumption and a.sthma,not by sending the patient Into the cave, but by bringing the air Into sun lighted sanitariums on the dry,well drained elevated sandstone plateaus "above the caves. Wc know the air Is dry, because the tim? ber carried In 1s12 has not decayed, and Iron binges have hfash hero Since 1841 and show no signs of rust. We know the nlr is pure, because Iveru animal matter does not decay, but simply dries up. The mum mles found in the cave were not prepared mummies, but simply dedicated bodies. The uniform temperature of from 53 de glees to fit degrees the year round has been demonstrated. Consumptives take long sea voyagos and visit high altitudes to get the benellt of ar0ptic atmosphere, but they suffer from variations of temperature, from storms, and at high altitudes exer? cise can not be taken, while the cave air predisposes one to take exercise with littl fatigue. 1 have known delicate women to walk for nine hours In the cave, clamber? ing up steep ascents und over rocks, and come out of tho cave fueling no sense of fatigue until they reached the warm, im? pure air outside, charged with the odors of decayed vegetation, when they would almost faint, and require assistance it, ascending the path to the hotel. Wo think the atmosphere in the glen til the entrance remarkable for purity be fori wc have become sensitive by hours In th< pure atmosphere of the cave. I once went with a friend and a guide to Roaring rlvei and several other remote places, which re? quired remaining In the cave over night. It was night when we ca-me out, and wi had become so sensitive by our stay of thirty-six boms in the pure nlr of the cave that we weie almOH overcome by the suf? focating mcphltic odors and oppressive? ness of the outer air. We dreaded to ln halo It Into our lungs, and returned again and again Into the pure air flowing from the cave. Air freed from bacteria Is o'-o of th< main reasons; ,fo - success In modern sur? gery, and a sanitarium Into which this all could be pumped would doubtless be re? sorted to for difficult surgical operations.

A question that lias boon more or less mooted all over fhe country ?Ines 'two MO&ne explosion, and very often ask'd :>f late days In this section, Is "What will th? |llfe Irtaurancb companies drj in c.use iy? war?" An ittvcsllgatlon made carefully by The Virglnkiin reveals these facti*: Taking thirty-eight of the principal companies, Including three Canada coccenhs, It is found thut six of tliem have il clause In their policies declar? ing them veld In case of war; seventeen comp ?inli -s require a permit for which an extra premium is chargedJ eight require a permit" during the first two yours. After that the holder can t'ako any risk he pleases, in six of the corn pan leu there Is absolutely 'f'1 r?strlc lion after the llrsti payment) has been made oil the policy. Many of the smaller companies, whoso cllcnttige Is concentrated In comparatively small, localities, might, from motijves of selft preservation, d vlare Cbirfelt the policies oif those of Its clients who antguge in war. These figures .ire on policies' issued. In tile older policli? there Is probubly a much linger j>or cent, ?f prohibitions; indo.vl, noil much over too years ag i, nearly all the compimies had a pro? hibiting clause. These- old policies w-iuld, however, be changed upon ap j>litiallojm to conform with more modern conditions. It is probable that even those com-patuies which do not now hv.ive tin- prohibiting clnus.-i w^uld, upon such application, charge an extra pre? mium upon abolishing the clause In I4iu older companies. And it is e.jrtrtihl that all the companies would, In the evcSit ciT w;ir, charge an extra premium ami some of them would probably write no policies at ail, except f^r those who would contract root to light.
