A Mammoth Moose.

The head of a monster bull moose was exhibited at Caribou, Me-, recently. There were nine prongs on one horn and eight on the other, the spread of the antlers measuring five feet. The moose, which must have weighed fifteen hundred pounds at least, was shot by 2 Frenchman on the American side of the St. John river. The hunter, with a companion, was asleep by camp fire in the woods, when he was awakened in the middle of the night by the moose smelling over him. He soon got bis rifle and with one shot dropped the ami nal to his knees, finishing him with the other bullet. It was fortunate for the sleeping Frenchman that he escaped alive, for the bull moose is an ugly GUS toner, especially under such condi- tions as those stated. The hunters were so far away from the settlements that it was impossible for them to bring in more than the head and hide of the moose, which was probably the largest ever killed in Maine.

DEATH ON CATS.

Mastin That Destroys Felines and
 Then Submits to Punishment.
 A Massachusetts gentleman has . large dog, cross between an English mastiff and a St. Bernard, which is very fond of killing cats, says tho Youths Companion. Indeed, it is prac- tically impossible to keep cat at the stable, SO fond is Karl of destroying them. He has been whipped and chained up, but though in general he is well behaved he cannot in this respect be brought to reason.
 Whenever Karl kills a cat, which hap pens every week or two, the groom is iD the habit of digging a grave, and then making the dog bring the body of poor puss to the spot. Karl takes tho body of his victim to the place, which has now become quite a populous ceme- tery, and while the grave is being dug he lies beside it, licking the cat all over. as if preparing her for burial.
 When the grave is ready, he invaria- ply gives puss a vigorous nip on the spine, as if to make sure that she ia really finished, and then taking her by the back of the neck, he gravely drops her into the hole prepared for her.
 When all this is over, he follows the groom to the stable to be whipped. He knows what is coming, and evidently accepts it as a necessary part, of the process of killing a cat but it does not in the least prevent him from disposing of the next pussy which is brought to ta hlaS

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Secretary Soby received telegram last night from Manager D. H. Toomey announcing the disbandment of the New Britain polo team. This is a sur prise and disappointment in polo circles. No reason is given for this action. except that Frank Bancroft, the real manager, considers it the best thing to do. It is not thought that New Haven will stay in three-club league. If that club drops out only Bridgeport and Hartford will be left. In that case, probably series of games between these two clubs would be played to decide the championship. Each club has won the championship twice

Hotel Fire in Essex

ESSEX, Dec 14.-The Union house, the largest hotel here, was destroyed by fire last night. Shortly after. 10 o'clock flames were discovered issuing from the kitchen of the hotel and an alarm was sounded. Neighbors rushed to the scene and everything possible was done to try and prevent spread of the flames, but the efforts were useless. Tie flames spread with fearful rapidity and in short time, it was seen that the entire structure was doomed. The guests in the house had all made their escape and large portion of the fur nishings were taken out to a place of safety. It was at first thought that the flames would spread to some of the ad- joining buildings and the greatest alarm was felt by property owners. Charles E. Pratt prevented a spread of the flames by throwing a large can of giant powder into the center of the burning building and thus blowing it tc pieces, after which the flames were soon under control. The loss will reach $5, ,00O, insurance $500.

The Two Manchesters Looking Up.

Manchester now wants an electric street railway to join with South Manchester. A number of local capitalists have ap- piled for charter, but it is awaiting the action of the recreant legislature. There are about 5000 persons in the town and if the two villages can be united by rail transit it is thought that it would be of great benefit to both. as the patronage of the people if concen- trated would support a national bank, a high school, better churches, hotels and business houses.
