TclcEIton;ng in Russia.

During 1889 experiments were carried out
with view to establishing telephone COM
munication between Moscow and St. Peters
burg, by means of the ordinary telegraph
line, the system of telephony employed being
that of Mr.. e. Grosdeff.
The popularity of Mr.. Grosdef's system
centers in the fact that the conductor en-
ployed is of iron, whereas it has hitherto been
believed impossible to use iron wire for long
distance telephony. The Russian officials
estimate that line between Moscow and St
Petersburg, constructed with iron wire, would
cost at least 20 per cent. less than if copper
wire were usad.-Electrical Review

A Horse That Didn't Like Cats.

Farmer Thurber, of Maurice, Pa, saw a
cat rubbing its sides against his stations
forelegs and making friends with the horse.
At first the stallion appeared to be friendly
toward the cat, lowering his nose and letting
the cat rub against it. All at once the horse
seized the cat by the neck and savagely beat
it against the side of the stall. The cat
scratched the stations under jaw, but the
enraged horse kept shaking it until it had
stopped scratching and was limp and almost
lifeless. Then the horse dropped the cat In
front of his manger and paid no more atten-
ton to it. When the farmer picked the cat
up it was dead with broken back.
Farmer Thurber said that all the cats in the
barn seemed to like to go around the horse
and make friends with him, and the horse en-
couraged them until they had confidence in
him. Then at the first good chance he would
grab them by the neck with his teeth aud
beat the life out Of them before he let go.
After their death, seven cats were found in
his stall on different mornings during the
winter.-Lousville Courier-J Journal. =

New England Road Cars Thown Into
 tho HouSatonlc River.
 A remarkable accident occurred on the New York and New England road yesterday, two trains colliding on the bridge at Sandy Hook.
 Though the crews of both trains es- capped with their lives, two cars of one train were thrown from the bridge into the Housatonic river, distance of nearly one hundred feet.
 The Housatonic river runs through a deep gorge just west of the Sandy Hook station, and the railway tracks at that point are nearly, if not quite a hundred feet above the river bed. The bridge IS one of the highest on this division of the New York and New England road.
 There is also sharp curve east of the station, the tracks following a bend in the river.
 Sandy Heck is a coaling station for the trains, and a long west bound freight was standing on the main track. yesterday morning, taking coal, DOT tion of it extending across the bridge. For some reason, the rear of the train was not properly protected by @ flag crashed into it. The engineer of the latter did not see the train until he rounded the curve and was close upon it. The locomotive and caboose and several of the cars of the trains were wrecked.
 Two box cars upon the center of the bridge were forced from their trucks to an almost upright position, and both toppled over into the river together. They were smashed to pieces in the fall. The crews escaped by jumping.

 State Agent Dwight W. Thrall of the Connecticut Humane society, was called yesterday to the place of Alfred Han chett, on the Housatonic river road in the town of Seymour, owing to the in- human treatment of 8 horse in the possession of MT Hanchett. The horse was allowed to remain out of doors day and night and permitted to subsist on what he could pick up over the lots. Its condition was such that Agent Thrall ended its existence by placing bullet in it's brain. On his return in his carriage the agent passed by the canal now being constructed by the Housa- tonic Water company. His observant eye soon< caught sight of an Italian pounding 8 mule belonging to Henry Boylan, with a cart spoke. The mule had an enormous load of sand to haul and could not get out of the pit, al- though using it's utmost eXertions. MT Thrall jumped out of his carriage and arrested the Italian who gave his name as Tenaro, drove to Birmingham and gave him over to Chief Nolan. Later the agent called on Prosecuting Attor- ney Ewen and entered complaint under the laws relating to inhuman treatment of dumb animals. z
