A MAMMOTH RATHER.

The Experience of His Snakeshlp With n
Big Rodent.
One of the largest diamond rattle
snakes that was perhaps ever captured
alive is attracting attention at Fort
Smith, Ark. He is about six feet long
and as large as an ordinary mans arm.
He was captured in the Winding-Stair
mountains of the Choctaw nation over
three weeks ago by a man named
Fayette Hill, who secured him in
novel manner. The snake was coiled
up in a striking attitude when Hill dis
covered him. Hill gut6 a forl<ed stick
and creeping up pinned the snakes
head to the ground between the forks.
Then he walked right upon the reptile
and stood on him while he looped
stout cord around his neck and drew it
up tight, after which he got his hid
eous-looking prize into a box and had
him secure.
He brought his snakeship to the city
and presented it to the saloonmen, who
put it in large glass case. The snake
has not eaten anything since it was cap
tured A pigeon was put in the case,
and remained all day, but the snake
paid no attention to it. A long green
garter-snake was put in with him. and
the little fellow would crawl all over
| the RATHER, but the big fellow would
not notice him. A rat was then put in,
and the snake killed it in less than five
minutes. Four or five others were put
| in and he served them the same way.
But at last a big rodent was placed in
the case, and, strange to say, the snake
would not strike it, Notwithstanding
| the rat would run upon him and put
his nose right up to his mouth. Finally
the rat tackled the little snake and
killed it, though the little fellow made
a valiant fight, wrapping himself round
and round the rats neck. The big
snake, however, did not modest this
PARTICULAR rat. and it was taken out.

Oscar Moore, the humun photograph,
will be at Leavenworth hall to-day and
tomorrow afternoon and evening. The
New York World says of him: He is a
walking encyclopedia for facts and liv-
ing arithmetic for figures. Hundreds of
questions were fred at him, covering all
sorts of subjects, from the number of
seconds in a year to the population of
the principal cities in China and the
numbers of letters in the bible. Oscar

LENT AND The GRIP.
The Usual Restrictions of the Lenten
Season Modified.

The Usual Restrictions of the LeDten
Season Modified.
The Rev Hugh Treanor, who was in.
Hartford to-day twas informed that the
Right Rev Bishop Mcmahon had decided
to grant a dispensation from the lenten
fast to the Catholics of his diocese, owing
to the weakness resulting from the ex-
traordinary prevalence of grip this
winter. The faculties to dispense as far
as they deem eXpedient, from the OBJ
servance of the laws of fasting and alb
stinence, was conferred upon the bishops
of the world by Pope Leo XIII.
By virtue of such faculties Bishop
McMahon dispenses the faithful of the
diocese from fasting and abstinence on
all the days of lent except Fridays.
Friday will remain day of abstinence
for all, and of fasting also for those who
are not exempt by reason of age, physi-
cal condition, or exhausting labor.
The holy father desires that while
making use of this apostolic favor, the
faithful devote themselves all the more
earnestly to pious works in order to
merit the divine clemency. Therefore,
he exhorts them to endeavor, by charity
to the poor and needy, by visits to the
church for prayer and the holy sacri-
fee, and by frequenting the sacraments,
| to obtain the mercy of God. The usual
Ienten devotions will be provided in the
parish churches.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Brakeman Killed on the Central New
England Road.

brakeman Killed on the Central New
England Road.
George Robinson, a freight brakeman
on the Central New England & Western
railroad, was killed at Poughkeepsie
yesterday noon while leaning out of the
cab window in the engine. The train
was passing Poughkeepsie station, and.
as the man was looking back his head
struck stand pipe near the station. He
died in half an hour without regaining
consciousness. The officers say that his
place was on top of the cars at the for
ward end of the train and he disobeyed
orders in entering the engine.
Lucius B. Holmes was fonnd dead in
a room in the United States hotel, in
Hartford, last night shortly after $50
o'clock. His death was caused by the
gas which escaped from an open burner.
Whether Holmes committed suicide OF
not will probably never be known.
Shortly after IL o'clock Wednesday
night Holmes, who was under the infiu.
ence of liquor entered the hotel and was
assigned to room which he never left
alive. He was So years of age and OF
light build.
Ernest Kuhn, Milford clam digger

RAILROAD AFFAIRS.
Echoes From the New highlands Latest
Move.

Echoes From the New EngIand's Latest
Move.
The purchase of control in the Meri-
den, Waterbury & Connecticut River
railroad by New York & New England
financiers, as announced in yesterdays
DEMoCRAT, has been looked for by those
familiar with the latter roads plans for
some time. Horace Wilcox of the
Meriden Britannia company built the
road from Meriden to Cromwell a few
years ago because he could not get salts
factory freight rates from the Consoli-
dated road. AS soon as the branch was
begun the latter rates dropped % per
cent. This branch paid well. The ex-
tension later to Waterbury was never
considered very successful move. Mr.
Wilcox put about $150,O00 into the
| original venture and about as much
more into the extension.
The road is mortgaged for 81 900, 900.
OF this sum $80O,00 was on the first
mortgage and the remaining $400, 900
on the second. The amount of stock
held in Meriden previous to the deal Of
Wednesday was $375, 900. The balance
of stock was owned in Waterbury.
There is shade of truth to the rumor
that the line will be extended from the
present terminus at Cromwell to
| Andover, as the former management
has a survey already made, and should
the New England system adopt the
same the eastern bound heavy freights
would be rid of the Waterbury and Boil
ton grades, the two worst grades on the
New England road.
Probably in the near future passenger
trains will run through to the New Eng
land junction at Waterbury, instead of
to Dublin street as at present.
1t is understood that the New York &
New England company will ask the
Legislature for permission to place a
consolidated mortgage for $4,000, O0C
on its property. The proceeds of these
bonds, which will bear per cent in.
terest, will be used to retire present out.
standing issues of bonds and the pre-
ferred stock and for Improvements. The
company intends to issue more preferred
stock,
