THE LEGAL FOES OF CATS.
If One Is Found in the Street Without

If One Is Found in the Street Without a
Collar 1t VIII Be Seized.
Under an act passed by the recent Legis-
lature and approved March 8 by Gov. Flower,
providing for the better protection of lost and
strayed animals and for the securing of the
rights OF the owners thereof, cats have be-
come objects of the attention of the American
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty to AMI
mails. says the New York World Section G di-
reefs that any cat found within the corporate
limits without a collar about its neck bearing
the n;.me and residence of the owner may tie
seizea and If not redeemed by the payment of
s3 fee within iorty-eight hours may be
killed.
The society has not yet commenced active
work in the matter of capturing and impound-
ing vaSabond feiines which swarm ut night
in front gardens, areas, and back yards. The
rolling stock of the Misunderstanding brigade
is being renovated, and in about a fortnight
society contents itself with attending to the
turnal caterwauling. From so to 100 are daily
treated TO summary justice.
Capt. Hankinson. superintendent of the So
ciety. stated yesterday that there was gen.
eral disposition on the part OF owners OF pets
to comply with the law. especially as its
liberal construction accepted ribbons properly
stamped Us equivalents for collars-a privilege
which suggested itself to the decorative in
stinct of the female owner. Cats seized are
taken TO the Shelter foot OF East One Hun

treated and if not ransomed are despatched
by an anaasthetic process.

INDIA'S SNAKES.
Fully 10000 People Die Every Year from
Their Bites.

Fully 10000 People Die Every Year from
Their Bites.
Altogether about twenty thousand persons
die every year in India from the bites OF vari-
GUS snakes, and it is no exaggera.ion to say
that some sixty of Queen Victorias subjects
who were alive and well yesterday are to-day
being burnt or buried out here as sequel to
these accidents. says n writer in McClure's
Magazine. The same will happen tomorrow
and the next day: and at least one death from
similar causes may be expected to occur every
half hour between now and the time that the
readers of McClure's Magazine peruse what
have written. Mortality of this magnitude is
terrible thing. though the fact must be re-
ulation four times as large as that of the
United States and thus passes to great ex-
tent unnoticed.
The casualties are confined almost entirely
to the poorer and more ignorant natives, who

though creatures like the hamadryas and the
echis are occasionally spelling for a fight as
general rule snake is no more anxious to
be trodden upon than Il man is to tread upon
il. The consequence is that people who wear
boats are hardly ever bitten. This is not SO
much because OF the protection of the leather
as on account of the noise made by a boot
upon the ground, which warns the snake to
get out of the way. The ordinary native in
bare feet makes hardly any sound whatever
as he walks along. an is consequently very
liable to surprise a snake in the path. The

of creaky boots. is SO safe that it is most ex-

Tho Snakes Wear a Trough In the Solid
Rock by Their Bodies.
Especial to the Minneapolis JournaLl
wINoNA, Mimi, May 31.-William Duncan
son, of Stockton, is the father Of Orrin Dun
canson, whose wonderful snake-kiling abili-
ties were recently mentioned in correspond
ence from this place. He is also the owner
of what is known as the Mosquito mill at
Stockton. One day recently Mr.. Duncanson
and one of his mill hands went up to the
quarry near the mill to secure some rocks.
In their operations they uncovered q large
natural cavity from which passage extended
some distance Following the latter. they
found it let into another and larger cavity,
perhaps twenty feet square. In this they
found over four bushels of rattlesnake skeie-
tons At the mouth OF the passage leading
into the larger cavity was good sized stone,
and in the center was worn n regular trough
fully six inches deep. The large cavity
was evidently the place OF hiberDation Of
rattlesnakes which abound in the vicinity in
great numbers. and it must have been occu-
pied a century or perhaps longer for the
snakes to have worn the gutter in the solid
rock which at that place was as smooth as
glass The skeletons found were evidently
those Of old and enfeebled reptiles and those
which had died from other causes. The dis
covery was a peculiar one, but there is no
doubt that dozens of snake dens exists in that
vicinity as for years rattlesnakes have been
plentiful In various parts of the town of War
rem, in the vicinity of Stockton.

Casey's Fatal Dream.


CHARLESTON, No., May 26.-William Casey,
farmer living between Diehlstadt and Ber-
trand, lies at the point of death at his home
from self-inficted wound. Thursday night,
at about 10 o'clock, according to Casey's
statement, made this morning, while he was
still in possession of all his faculties, Casey
dreamed that ne was being searched for by
the officers Of the law. They surrounded and
pressed about him, and were in the act Of
laying hands upon him, when he reached
under his pillow, where he had a revolver, as
was his usual custom. Grasping the weapon.
Casey jumped up. half awake and frenzied,
sprang over his wife, who lay sleeping at his
side. and screamed, "No. siri I'll die before
you shall arrest me!'' With those words he
turned the revolver toward his body and
pulled the trigger. The ball entered his left
side and ploughed its way through the intes-
tines, lodging in the left kidney. Not three
drops OF blood escaped from the wound. The
bleeding was all internal. and attending ply
sicians say the injury is certainly mortal.
There is no known reason for doubling
Casev's remarkable story. Casey is about 45
years old and will leave widow and one
child

Lively Congressional Fight Promised In
the Tennessee Mountains.
ESPECIAL TO THE TIMEsl
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, June 3.-The fight for
Congress in this congressional district prom
ises to be the most stubborhly fought of any
that has ever occurred in the South. The
district is normally abou: 10000 Republican.
The fight is between Hon. John c. Houk, the
present member, and Chancellor Henry R.
Gibson, both Republicans.
A preliminary election has been held. at
which the congressional committee decided
Mr.. Houk received a majority Of the legal
vote. Mr.. Gibson proposes to run notwith-
standing claiming that the committee had no
right to go behind the face Of the returns.
Gibson has been working his official patron
age and his speeches before Sunday-school
picnics and the like for all they are worth.
Mr.. Houk on the other hand has many
things in his favor. He has a steadfast fol-
lowing in the friends Of the late l.. C. Houk,
who never surrender as long as there WAS a
shot in the locker. He has undisputed proof
that the records OF the War Department do
not bear out Mr.. Gibson's claim of being an
officer in the army.
no candidate, which, on account Of Mr..
Houk's attitude in representing the whole
people, will work to his benefit.
Mr.. Houk in this city, where he is known
best, will beat Mr.. Gibson three to one. An
other advantage Mr.. Houk has is that he is a
native of the mountains he again wants to
represent, while his competitor is not
The present indications are that Mr. Houk
will be returned by good majority.

A Strange Burial.
tFrom the San Francisco Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
The skeleton of james Burkhar:t, seaman,
was buried from the Naval hospital at Mare
Island this afternoon.
Deceased was a seaman on board the Thetis
engaged in surveying the coast of Lower Cali
fornia III the vicinity of MagGelana bav. On
the 7th Of last February a boats crew was en-
gagged in this duty. and in an endeavor to
make a landing through the surf Burkhardt
was accidentally thrown into the sea and
drowned. A rigid search was made for his
body, but in vain. The beach was patrolled.
but no trace could be found OF the seaman.
The Thetis steamed down the coast in the
performance of other duties and three weeks
after returned to the vicinity where the sailor
had been lost. A party of men from the ship
were walking along the beach when one OF
them saw glistening in a bunch Of seaweeds u
skull. Calling TO his mates they removed the
growth and found the entire skeleton of a man
stripped completely OF flesh by crabs and
fishes as though it had been under the hands
OF a surgeon. By means of pieces Of clothing
the skeleton was identified as that of their lost
shipmate.

HER NEVER-FAILING INFLUENCE.
The Women Ticket Sellers Beautifyine
Elevated Railroad Stations.

The Women Ticket Sellers Beautifying
Elevated Railroad Stations.
The influence OF women on commercial life
is always the same and always as ornamental
as it is useful. Just as they beautify the
offices where they work so they decorate their
last conquests, the stations of the elevated
roads In Brooklyn. The little depot rooms
on stills used to be dingy and untidy, with
pals and brooms standing about and GUS
pidors in evidence, says the New York Sun.
Now the women have made all the stations
neat, and have put pots of flowers in the win
dows and punches of artificial blossoms on
the ticket counters. The women are other
wise interesting. One thing about them IS
that they must talk and gossip, no matter
what trouble they put themselves to in order
to crafty that yearning.
The stations face one another rs in this
city, and whenever business slackens up the
women leave their wire cages and go out and
stand on the platforms and yell across tae
tracks to each other about Sarah s tailor
made suit" and about how ''He-the one 1
told you about-will be along about this time,
and you must see bim; how nice looking and
dressy he is" The women even run across
the tracks at luncheon time to share a brew
ing of tea and a sandwich amid unrestrained
conversation.

county treasurer, was taken to the pest house
suffering from smallpox yesterday, and he
said before he left his home for the hospital
that he had caught the disease from the un-
clean paper money he is compelled to handle
daily. He had frequently complained to his
chief Of the condition of some of the green
backs which were passed in through the re-
ceiving teiler's window. and expressed fear
that the money would spread smallpox. The
soiled money, he said, was received from
Poles, Bohemians, and Italians who lived in
