BROOKLYN, n. Y, Feb. 27.-The steam
ship Bear, which has been engaged in seal
and whale fishery for number of years

the Greedy expedition, is discharging her
cargo of coal at the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
and will go into dry dock Friday, when
the naval board appointed to examine her
will complete their survey and decide
what alterations are to be made and what
is necessary to be done to strengthen her.

take an Arctic expedition. He also stated
that if he commanded the expedition he
wanted to sail by April 10 at the latest.

 The Hon. E. H. Hyde of the State board for treatment of disease in domestic animals, Dwight W. Thrall, State agent for the Hu- mane society, and William E. Quigley, local agent for the latter society, visited Middle bury. this week and investigated the condi- tion of the hogs of Joseph Cough, of Middle bury. Messrs. Hyde and Thran said that they had been summoned by Mir. Quigley. They had found fifty y-seven pigs, seventeen of which, pointed out by Mir. Cough himself, were to be killed before yesterday morning and buried. The others were satisfactorily quar- antined. T. S. Gold will also examine the case MT. Hyde declares it is the worst he has seen in forty years experience. Both men commend MT. Quigley for his prompt action in the matter for the safety of the community and said that from all they could gather there would have been no trouble if there had been no third party in the business. MT. Cough treated them all we'll The disease broke out in his herd the week before Thanksgiving He slaughtered four at Thanksgivings, they being removed from the others, disposed oi three of them st Waterbury markets and kept one. This is all he has slaughtered The question of how the disease came into Connecticut from the West was thoroughly discussed by the gentlemen. It would appear to have come originally by the entrails oi western turkeys brought to market here these entrails having been gathered up in the swin. Once caught the germs of the disease which is undoubtedly hog cholera, may have spread on the leaves of trees, MT. Thral thinks; in the air, MT. Quigley thinks. MT Hyde said that he knew of but few cases where hogs had ever recovered from the disease.

The caucus was called to order in the Aldermen's chamber by Alderman Klenke, chairman of the caucus committee, and AL derman Kennedy was chosen secretary
 Nominations being in order Alderman Spreyer placed in nomination George J. Faulhaber. Alderman Defrees nominated Edward Hammil1 and Alderman Strouse nominated George Grant, because, as he said, MT. Grant was an American citizen.
 This brought Alderman Coffee to his feet, who said that he was just as much of an American as MT. Grant and so was Mir. Faul- haber. He did not care whether man was an American, an Irishman, or German so long as he was good citizen.
 Alderman Riley then nominated William Fuller for the position.
