A DUG STORY.

Many Carcassfs aud Piles OF Bones Found
Uuder "a House.
One of the most singular cases of dog
poisoning ever brought TO the attention Of
the authorities came to light IN the Health
Department yesterday. Nos. l, ., and 8
are small tenement houses on City Hall
place, a short cul de sac leading off Nc
Allister street, just opposite the New City
Hail. For short time past they have been
occupied by two ladies, who from time to
time have been much annoyed by a slckenlDg
stencil. At first the cause could not be dis
covered, because the place is surrounded
by high board fence and there appeared
to be one small opening leading TO the
vacant space under the houses. From this
place the awful stencil came stronger than
ever, and upon removing the boards and
examining under the houses the mystery of
the foul odorS was uncovered. There lay the
decayIng carcasseS OF nearly dozen small
dogs, and strewn around on the ground
were bones enough to make the skeletons
of a dozen or two more. 1t was easy
enough to see how the dogs got there; they
had climbed in through the hole. But it Is
not at all plain what caused their death.
1t appeared, indeed, veritable dt ath-trap
for dogs, for 1t would seem that no dog
entered and got out alive.
When the health authorities were notified
of the discovery, Contractor Lyon, whose
duty it is to remove and bury the carcasses
of animals found about the city, was sent
to the place and in few minutes removed
seven dead dogs.
The only plausible exclamation of the pc
culiar circumstance is that some one must
have thrown poisoned meat into the place
intending to kill dogs, and selected that
particular place to escape detection.
