II. Danlcy, a young man who
iiinil between the Willinin.-pnrt
Brnnch Railroad Station (width-
village of 1 i vol i
Pn., met with n s ngular nnd
sudden death.
Danlcy was at his work ns usual, when an
ordinary honey bee buzzed around his head.
When he attempted to ward it oil' the bee
j lighted on one of bis fingers and stung him.
Danlry complain-d of excruciating pain,
and bis hand nt once coinm need swelling
rnpidly nnd in a few minutes his whole
system wns all'ecied. Ten minutesnlter being
siung he fell into a comatose condition and
befor- aid could be summoned he was dead,
only 1.. minutes having elapsed Ironi the li un
ite was stung.
The physicians who were called were
mystified, but expressed the belief that the
bee's stinger had entered a nerve or blood
vessel nnd that the poison wns quickly carried
to the vilal organs, causing almost instant
paralysis. Danlcy was a strong man of
vigorous constitution.

The congressionalists are indisposed to con
tinue amive hostilities until after the issue of
September 18, when the Presidential chair
will be vacated by Balmaccda. Then a defin
ite decision will be reached us to the future
course to be adopted.
Meanwhile a desultory sort of warfare has
been conducted just to keep up appearances.
Against the expected arrival of the Fr
razuriz an J Pinto from Furope the Cengress
ionalist junta have removed their headquar

of reach of tiie big guns, more th u a dozen
miles up a very defensible river. 't here is
some movement ot troops going on, but mostly
of a mobilizing nature.
Only one battle of imv soriousnrss has been
fought lately, that of Vallenar. The Pa!
macedists claim that hey won the fight, wilh
only a loss of t men, against the Cougressiou
