A CAT FANCIER.

A physician near Rockville recently
had lively experience in attending
patient He was called to attend Miss
Van Ingan, sixty-fve, woman who
has lived alone for the past ten years
in Bolton. When the doctor arrived he
found the woman quite i'll, but was sur
prised to find the room filled with the
most remarkable collection of cats he
ever saw in a house. They were of all
sizes, ages and colors, about fifteen in
all. The room had at one time been
comfortably furnished but on account
of lack of care and the constant
presence of the flock of cats, had be-
come dirty and repulsive and unfit to
live in The doctor ascertained that
the woman had lived alone there ten
years with her family of cats as her
only companions. She was passionate
ly fond of them, guarding them with
jealous care, and visitors had never
been allowed to enter the house The
doctor informed the woman that for
her recovery the cats would have to be
disposed of, but it was some days be-
fore she agreed to it and ordered the
doctor to bring a can of chloroform.
An air tight box was arranged for the
execution cage. The doctor had q
lively time, as many of the cats were
wild fighters. They scratched and bit
and when the work was finished the
Doctors driving gloves were torn and
his hands lacerated by cats claws and
teeth. The box was removed to the cat
graveyard at the top of a neighboring
hill, where the burial took place

President Mckinley yesterday infor-
mally offered the place of consul gen.
eral to Havana to Charlemagne Tower

PRESIDENT STILL BEsIEGED
Minnesota Men Lead the Attack on the
White House


Washington, March 10.--This beauti-
full springlke day brought out the Of
flee seekers in force. The advance
guard was at the white house before 10
o'clock and waited around patiently for
the word to enter the room where the
president was stationed.
Senators Lodge of Massachusetts, and
Nelson of Minnesota were the first of
the senatorial contingent. With Sena-
tor Nelson was ex-Congressman Mark
II. Dunnell of Minnesota, who served in
the house with President Mckinley and
who wants to be one of the treasury
auditors.
Representative Heatwole of Minneso-
ia was also an early caller. He was
accompanied by Captain Reed of Glen
coe, Mimi, whom he urged for the posi-
ton of deputy commissioner of pen
sions. Two other Minnesota men who
have not announced their candidacy
are being urged for Office. They are ex-
Governor Hubbard, whose friends want
him to be ambassador to Italy, and Ia
mas Bixby. chairman of the Minnesota
state central committee, who would
probably not object to being commits

another Minnesotan who saw the presi-

BURGLARS WORK.
PostofIice and General Store Blown Up
Yesterday
cemetery

16SlGIuhy,
Bridgeport, March 10.-The postofiice
and general store at Greenfield Hill
Center, conducted by w. H. Banks,
were blown UP by burglars early this
morning. Postmaster Banks lives in
the house adjoining, and the doors and
windows of the store were all connected
with his residence by electric wires
The thieves evidently knew this from
their mode of operation.
Beginning with bit and augur at the
side of the postoffice building, they re-
moved the clapboards and literally took
out the side Of the building. Entering
they drilled a hole in the safe and blew
it up with bang. The door of the
safe was blown off and things in the
store turned upside down generally.
The thieves secured 5000 in cash, and
left without taking anything else.
Brace and bits used in the robbery We're
found in the store to-day.
Nobody disturbed the robbers in their
work. Mr.. Banks family heard the
noise made by the explosion, but
thought somebody was firing at trou-
blesome dog owned by neighbor. The
police here after an investigation de-
oided that the job was done by the
burglars who operated so daringly in
this city early Monday morning.

lions in Australian Mines.
New Brunswick. March 10.-Through
the accidental reading of an advertise
ment in a New York paper several days
ago, Miss Grace Clarke, a school girl,
who lives at 62 John street, this city, is
likely to come into large inheritance.
The advertisement was inserted by a
firm of attorneys at Melbourne, Aus
tralia. and asked for information about
the heirs of Imblay Clarke who, it is
said had died in Australia, leaving a
fortune amounting TO several million
dollars, gained by successful mining
operations. This man left no will and
no papers by which the identity Of his
heirs could be learned. It was known
only that he had come from New Jer-
sey. Miss Annie Squier of Jersey City
saw the advertisement and she at once
notified the family here The family
Bible and all the information necessary
to prove the claim of the heir have been
forwarded to Melbourne. Imblay
Clarke went to Australia in 1870 to seek
his fortune, and at infrequent occasions
wrote to Mrs. Lydie Bower, his sister,
who lives in Perth Amboy. In his let
ters he told of the wealth he had ac-
quired, and said that he hoped some
day to return to New Jersey. Nothing
had been heard from him in more than
a year His heirs beside Mrs. Bower
are Miss Clarke, Miss Squier of Jersey
City, and the Misses Jennie and Nellie
Clarke of New York city all grand
nieces.

STEAMBOATS, COLLIDE,
Mohawk and Mohegan Crash Together
in the Fog.


in the Fog.
New London, March 10-The new
fast steamboats, Mohawk and Michigan
of the Central Vermont line collided in
Long Island sound this morning in
dense fog and luckily escaped with but
slight injuries. The Mohegan left her
wharf at this port at her regular time
last night and proceeded cautiously up
the sound to New York under reduced
steam, Bartlett's reef and Saybrooll
lights We're made all right, and the Mo-
hegan's course was directed toward
Cornfeld light.
The steamboat had proceeded on the
the new course under half speed but
few minutes when the lights of another
vessel We're seen moving toward the
Mohegan. The signals to reverse the
engines were sounded Immediately, and
none too soon, as the outlines of her
sister ship Mohawk were now made out
by the bow Waterman scarcely boats
length away, The officers of the Mo-
hawk had also seen the Mohegans
lights, and both steamboats, engines
We're reversing at full speed when the
crash came.
The Mohawk struck the Mohegan q
slanting blow crushing in the latter's
upper work, but fortunately doing no
other damage. After learning the ex-
tent of the damage done the two steam
I boats proceeded to their destinations.
Captain Rankin of the Mohawk filed a
statement of the collision With SuperIn-
tendent Mckenzie at the company's of
flee here this morning, and an investi-
cation will soon be made in the matter.
The steamboat City of Worcester was
passing shortly after the collision and
offered assistance to the boats IL need
ed, but it was refused.
The Mohegan arrived at her dock in
New York this morning under her own
steam, She had a narrow hole about
foar feet in length on her starboard
bow She was not badly damaged.
