SIX, MILES OF CABLE.

Many people were attracted to the
Shore Line wharf, New London, Sat-
urday, to witness the operation of I'M
loading the six miles Of cable which IS
to be laid In Great South Bay to con-
meet the Fire Island end of the Bennett
Makay cable with Conklin's Point. The
Day says on the subject:
Capt T. A. Ssott has the contract for
laying the cable. as was stated In the
Day at the time it was awarded. The
cable arrived here Monday 1t is wound
on giant reels, each reel loaded on a sep
arate fiat car. The cable is about two
inches in diameter and the whole six
miles aggregates rs tons in weight. The
reels are of unequal size, weighing co.
900. $4,000 and 10000 pounds respectively.
The lighter Tender was brought up
to the side Of the wharf this morning
and the wire will be transferred to her
deck The process of unloading that
amount of cable is no small job, but
Captain Scott has had experience in
that line and knows just how it should
be done. The cable will be unwound
and coiled up on the deck so that it can
be paid out as the lighter proceeds
along over the route where it is to be
laid.

work and he will splice the cables to-
gether SO that it will be one whole piece

reason of their efficiency on the way
here, 1t happened that about one in each
three of the traps had several rats In 1T.
Presumably they were caught on the
boat after shipment Quite crowd col
lected about the little menagerie as 1t
stood on the sidewalk. After while
an expert proceeded to liberate the rats
one at time In the street. The dogs
of the neighborhood took notice.
A big black setter made a dive for
one rat, got nip in the mouth, gave a
whine and dropped his prize. Then a
white fox terrier took up the chase and
following the retreating rat among the
forest of legs. caught him at the curb
and did the business with one shake.
Then another was let out. A bull dog
made for him and evidently it was all
up with the rat. but instead the rat got
away and ran clear through the crowd
and into the doorway. At that crisis
the little white dog gave his attention
to the case and in a giffy he brought
the creature out and laid it in the gut
ter Several other dogs tried their
skill at the work. All put on airs
enough, but the little terrier conducted
the sacrifice, and, when the cages were
all empty, he went around as if he had
lost his purpose in life.-Hartford Cour-

A cardinal advantage of the latter

SWIVEL GUNS KILLING OFF GAME
BIRDS.

1t is said here that the use of the
swivel-gun On the Susequehanna flats
and tributaries of the Susquehanna
river is having disastrous effect upon
the ducks, and the local gunners who
have followed duck shooting for live
lihood for years are much discouraged
over the scarcity of birds as compared
with former seasons Hunters who
have followed that occupation for TWEEN
ty years have always been able to pro-
vide for themselves a comfortable liv-
ing, but the manner in which the birds
are being slaughtered has had dis
couring effect upon the local gunners,
many of whom have given up the call
ing.
The big swivel-gun, which weighs from
one hundred to one hundred and fifty
pounds, is used contrary to the law,
yet it is still employed, and no success
full effort appears to have been made to
suppress 1t. 1t is arranged in skiff, in
which one man is stationed. The man
lies upon his breast and paddles the
boat and when enough birds are It
hand he fires, and bushwhack boat.
containing two men, follows closely af-
ter the skiff and then made ready for
another shot An old gunner in Elkton
this week remarked that he had known
at least $475 worth of ducks to have
been killed in one day by the big gun
The gunner, who visited this town for
the purpose of investigating the matter,
stated that the local shooters were in
sympathy with a law that would, re-
peal the ducking police law, and put the
matter in the hands of the state Off
Gals, they to look after the ducking
grounds in season, and to use boat,
as Is done on the oyster beds in other
parts of this state.
SHOULD the swivel-gun be allowed to
continue, It will eventually kill off the
game on the fats" continued the
speaker, land the time will not be long
distant when the wild ducks will have
become frightened that they will refuse
to frequent the waters of the Susque-
hanna. the most famous ducking
grounds in this part of the country. -
