destroyed, and the Methodist church at

New Facts in Hydrophobia.

Great alarm prevails all over the coun-
try concerning the increase of hydro
phobia. In New York city, where several
horrible cases of this disease have recent
ly proved fatal, the authorities are destroy
ing all dogs found at large, deeming il
called tor by the safety OF the community
The case of the butcher Mccormick. which
has been investigated by 4 board of emf
nent physicians, is exciting universal in
terest Mccormick was bitten by a small
dog the wound being only slight scratch,
hylrophobia until he was attacked, and
died in terrible agony.
The result of the scientific and thorough
investigation into this case has been pub
lished. Dr.. Hammond says the long sought
"lesion" in hydrophoba has been dlscoy-
| cred and located. He saws the disease is
not q blood poison, but disease of the
great nerve centres, and can be co7nnptnj-
cated By the bite Of q dog that is free from
A4drophobln. The dog that bit Mccormick
is well, and has no symptoms of the dis
ease
DR.. Cross, another Of the iurymen, is
reported as saying that he believed that
no legislation can be too stringent upon
the dog question The public danger is
truly great The disease is happily a
very rare one, but it must be admitted
that cases of true hydrophobia are increas-
ing in New York city, In the country,
upon an isolated farm, a dog may be of
some use, but in this great city where
dogs can be only nuisal. &c and terror to
every one, they should be destroyed. This
opinion is shared by DIS. Hamilton, Mere
dith, Clymer, Hammond. ald many other
distinguished physicians. If such terrible
results have followed dogs bite in one
instance only, they say it is ample reason
for Kidding the city of them all. This
ought to be done at once. and thoroughly,
and until then no one is safe in the public
streets
What is true of New York is truc of
every other locality. The country is full
of worthless ours, of no value to ANYBODY,
that are liable to bite upon the smallest
provocation, or no provocation at all.
What are lives of all this canine tribe in
comparison with that of one human being
dying from the awful pangs of hydro
phobia?
The law Of Maine is very severe against
dogs A person who has been attacked by
dog may shoot the animal at sight there
after If damage is done by dog the
owner or person harboring the animal,
must pay double the damages that Il jury
may assess. When a person makes oath
that any dog is dangerous, the owner
must kill or continc him, or be liable to
heavy penalty. But there should be in
addition a tax upon every female dog
kept, and upon every pup raised. and it
should be rigidly enforced, But it prob
ably will not be done until some valuable
human lives have been lost.

Fatally Shot.
CONCORD, n H, July

CONCORD, n II, July ).
The circumstances OF the accident of
the shooting of Arson S. Marshall of this
city. which occurred on Saturday, are, in
brief, as follows Nj Marshall with his
wife and child, went to Long Pond during
the latter part of the afternoon and drove
into q grove on the west side Of the pond,
and while preparing Il launch heard a
bullet whistle through the air in the
vicinity Of where he was standing No
one could be seen firing from where he
stood. and he shouted out as warning.
A few moments afterwards he exclaimed
Il am shot" and remarked to his wife
that he had received his death wound
He sat down and assistance was called and
he was taken to house near by and SUI
gical aid was summoned; but he died
about one o'clock this morning The ball
penetrated the abdomen and has not yet
been found In the edge Of the grove
bordering on an open space below where
he was shot, some members of military
company were firing at target Mr.
Marshall was standing about forty rods
from the target and ten rods out of range
of the bullets Seven shots, 1t is said,
we're fred and one of them struck an iron
hinge on the target after passing and
breaking it and changing the course of
the bullet, it Is supposed, and thus killing
Mr.. Marshall Rising ground in the open
space prevented seeing across it.
Mr.. Marshall was born in Lyme,
December 8, 1924 He graduateda at
Dartmouth College in l848, after which he
was principal of the high School in Fitch
burg, Mass, for two years. He read law
in this city with Pierce & Mnot, and had
practiced here until his death. lie was
United States District Attorney under
Buchanan's administration. He had held
the Office OF Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, and at the time of his
death was clerk OF the Concord Railroad
which position he had filled for a number
of wears He was man OF eminent legal
talent and unusually liked and respected.
He leaves a wife and one child.
We are reminded by reading the An
nails of Belfast, now being published in the
Journal, that William White of this place
made the first axe ever made in Belfast.
This was in 1915, he went there with his
brother, and the blacksmiths of Belfast,
were very curious to see an axe made,
and their curiosity was gratified Mr..
White first came here in 1910, and worked
in shop where Soule's Oakum Mill now
stands During the war which soon fol-
lowed he returned to Goshen, Mass, the
place of his nativity in the immediate
vicinity of the recent dam disaster. He
returned in 1921 and has worked at his
trade, losing not a single day from sick
ness. At the age Of 81 years he is still
hale and hearty, and can make as good
an axe to-day as ''any other man" WAL

1t is quite time that the Democrat

1t is quite time that the Democratic
Committee Of the Fifth Congressional
District was thinking Of calling the con-
vcntion. The committee consists Of the
following members: Alonzo Colby, Bucks
port, chairman; John T. Lynch, Machias ;
John B. Redman, Ellsworth Russell A.
Treat, Frankfort; Edwin Rose, Rockland.
We hear very general expression in IA
vor Of holding the convention at Rock
land. Ellsworth is more central. but is
difficult OF access. Rockland can be
reached from Washington and Hancock
counties by the steamer Lewiston, if the
convention shall be called on Tuesday OF
Friday, while it is also very accessible for
Waldo. It is hoped that the committee
will Immediately attend to the matter of
the call.

gives the following account of an at1ray at
Camden on the Fourth
A party Of roughs from Bangor We're
making a good deal OF noise in a small
saloon near the grist mill, when Constable
Daniel q. Lamb called upon them to stop.
One Of them said eve don't care for this
one-horse town. The officer attempted
to arrest him when some one struck him
over the eye cutting him quite badly. His
shirt was covered with blood He then
called upon the crowd for help and a
general row ensued which lasted about
thirty minutes. The crowd swaved from
Main street to lower Bay View street when
the officer succeeded in arresting two of
the roughs named Edwin Lake and AMMAN
named FLETCHER from Bangor A negro
who was arrested broke away and took
leg bail. The officers were obliged to
threaten the crowd with their revolvers in
self defense though no shots were fired on
either side. The prisoners Were let out
later in the evening on condition of their
going Immediately away on the boat which
left at 10 p M, and the payment OF five
dollars each These roughs came down
with the excursion party from Bangor
which arrived about 6 p. m. The excur
sion party was composed Of some of the
first citizens OF Bangor who felt badly on
account of this disturbance. The crowd
brought their liquor with them, Camden
being a dry town.
In the afternoon two drunken men
damaged the cannon in the grove and
were arrested but were let off on navmant
of costs amounting to about S17.
