Though large moose are scarce in
Maine, the few which survive seem to
be doing the best they can to wreck the
railroads and destroy all forms of prop
erty that are capable of motion. Last
August an engine on the Maine Central
railroad, in charge Of Frank Brown,
was met by moose just out of Vance
boro, and after brief but valiant bat
tie the moose succumbed, though the
train was delayed nearly an hour be-
fore the remains of the conflict could
be removed from the track. On Oc-

TENDER.
While the Maine Central has a good
record as a moose slayer, the Bangor
sand Aroostook probably has killed
more game of this species than any
other road in this country. George Gar
mons train, which runs on alternate
nights between Old Town and Caribou,
has killed three moose and two deer
and cut off the headquarters of two
year-old bear. George Michaud's train
on the same line has captured two
moose and one deer. Tom Haggerty's
train has killed one moose and one bear,
| and Charles York's has two moose and
one caribou to its credit. There is hard
| ly train running to the Maine back
woods that does not kill more big game
every year than the law allows a man
| to take.
This year the bull moose seem to have
| got the suicidal mania in its worst
form. Not only do they attack engines,
but most of them seem inclined to COM
nit assault and battery upon any OBJ
! ject that shows symptoms of life.

PLEAS OF A WOMAN LAWYER.
Mrs. keeler's successful Cases in
the Caindeo Criminal Court.


Camden, ". j., July 3O.-A deal OF in
terest was centered yesterday In the first
appearance of Mis- Annie Irving Keeler.
New Jerseys second woman lawyer, In
the Camden criminal court. Mrs. Keeler
had three ca ses.
Oddly enough her first was that Of
Thomas Nicholson, who had pleaded guilty
OF bigamy and appeared for sentence. Mrs
Keeler told him to tell his story TO Judge
Armstrong and ne did. He said he never
could get along with his first wife. and
thought that in New Jersey a man could
remarry after he had been separated from
his wife certain length of time. lie was
very sorry and would never do It again.
The judge evidently thought Nicholson
had been punished nearly enough, and
give him only six months in the county
Jail.
Mrs. Keeler then appeared for James
Kennedy, who had cut the throat OF and
nearly murdered Daniel Lynch, his en-
plOyer. who had the contract for tearing
down the Old Esterbrook pen factory, on
Front and Cooper streets. Mrs. X eeIer
had a good many eyes turned on her as
she arose to plead for X ennedy. She
said he was poor man, with family
to support, and. after long idleness, had
secured work under Lynch at the pen
factory. Then he was cheated out OF his
pay, and in a moment OF frenzy he at
tackled Lynch. The prov oc alton was
great and the accused had already been
severely punished by several months

was bit nervous at first. but gradually
