DROWNED BY A DOG.
Convict Battling for Life and Liberty in
the Waters of the Savannah.
[From the Savannah News

cr0m the savannah News.
A report was current in the cOmmuni-
ty on yesterday morning of an uprising
of some of the convicts belonging to the
force under the lease of Col. T. j.
Smith, now at work on Hutchinson's ISL
and,- opposite the city and the escape
of seven, after the guard had been over
powered and murdered.
In the northern side Of the building
occupied by the forces as sleeping
quarters there was hole about two feet
square, where the chimney of the sugar
refinery stood, which had been closed
up with bricks, mud being used instead
Of mortar. About quarter after o'clock
George BIlups, negro, who slept near
the opening, managed to free his feet
from his shackles, and, pushing the bricks
out, worked himself slowly through the
hole, which as about three feet from the
ground. In getting out however, he
struck against the man who slept in the
bunk next to him. The movement
awakened the fellow, who, raising him
self, discovered Georges legs just disap-
pearing through the aperture. He at
once gave an alarm, crying to the guard
who was on duty at the door that man
was escaping. The guard darted around
the building and caught sight of George
running toward the bank OF the Savan-
nah river. He Immediately opened fire
on the fugitive, firing six times at him.
About three hundred yards from the
building one Of the dogs caught the
flying negro, who was impeded in his
flight by the dense swamp reeds. After
a short struggle, during which the guard
fred at him again, he succeeded III free
ing himself from the dog, and continued
running toward the river. On reaching
the river bank the negro plunged boldly
into the water, and the dog after him.
When about twenty yards from the
shore the dog seized him again, and q
fight for life and liberty ensued in the
waters. The night was clear. but not
sufficiently clear to enable the guards to
discern where the man was. His cries
and struggles with the dog were heard,
and in few moments the dog returned
to the bank.
As nothing was seen of the convict on
this side, it is believed that he was
drowned It is supposed that he was
wounded by one of the shots, and it is
certain that he was badly bitten by the
dog when he was first caught and during
the struggle in the water. The morning
was very cold, and he would most proba-
ply have been numbed before he could
have swum to this side, even had he not
been injured Hence there is but little
doubt but that his dash for liberty re-
suited in his finding a watery grave

victed of burglary in Fulton county SUI

The above are the States which show
the greatest number of saloons, whole
sale liquor dealers and breweries. These
statistics are compiled from the number
Of licenses issued by the Government,
and, of course, do not include the thou
sands Of places where liquor is sold lille
Ultimately.
The total number of licensed saloons
or drinking places in the United States
for the fiscal year ending June 80. 1877,
was 1874, 598, or, calculating from a pop
ulation Of 45, 100000, one for every $50
persons. The total number Of whole
sale liquor dealers is 1901; brewers,
2,758; rectifers, /, 100; distillers, 4, 992.
In the District of Columbia there are
more saloons than there in Colorado, Da-
kota, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Maine,
Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Vermont,
Washington Territory, West Virginia,
or Wyoming. There are nearly three
times as many saloon-keepers in the
District of Columbia as in two thirds of
the States and Territories named.

HYdrOphObia in ENGLAND.

Unless our ablest medical men and our
most skilled veterinary surgeons are al
together at fault. malady is raging in
the midst of us more terrible than Asiatic
cholera, yellow fever, or even the much
dreaded plague of the middle ages.
Within the last few months deaths from
hydrophobia have been alarmingly fire.
quent. It would seem, indeed, as if the
disease had assumed an epidemic form.
That this should be so is no matter of
surprise. It is notorious that at certain
periods hydrophobia has ravaged entire
districts with an almost unaccountable
virulence. In the year 1866 the Regis
trar General for England reported no
fewer than thirty-six deaths from this
fatal malady. In 1871 two packs of
hounds-the Quorn and Albrighton-
were decimated by the pestilence. There
is mass OF evidence to show that, like
cholera, Or plague, or any other grave
disease, hydrophObia recurs at stated
intervals, and at this moment, as far as
can be made out, we are passing through
a period of its recurrence. For some
months past hardly a week has gone by
without death from hydrophobia. The
Registrar General, in his reports, has
called attention to the prevalence Of the
soourge. Inquests have been held in
various parts Of the country, at which
evidence Of most painful and distress
ing character has been given. Indeed,
if the general public is not seriously
alarmed, we can only say that it has
failed to appreciate the gravity and i'm
portance of the situation. London

Gossip.

Some one wisely calls gossip the dry
rot of conversation. The detestable
habit Of talking of people rather than
OF things opens the way to abuses we
might check with a word if we would.
Ii the art of conversation were taught
and encouraged as it should be, were we
SO far advanced in civilization as we be-
heve ourselves, we should get rid of the
incubus Of personality, and, with it, of q
great deal Of undeseryed obloquy, and
the burrowing destruction Of small
treacheries and unnoted dishonor.

THE UNCOVERED HAND.
How a Dog Led to Where Its Murdered
Masters Body was Buried.
from the Evansville Journal


Some time during the latter part of
last May barber named E. A. Barlean.
employed in the Union Depot barber
shop, disappeared suddenly. At the
time of disappearance he was known. to
have had about 800 on his person, be-
sides fine watch and other trinkets of
value. A strict search was instituted,
and the 23d of June his clothes were
found, or at least portion of them, in
an clubhouse. The discovery was made
during the heat of the agitation caused
by the railroad. strike, and did not create
such sensation as it would have done
under ordinary circumstances. But it
Whetted the determination of his friends,
who set to work in earnest. On the 26th
OF June, Henry Burner, a carpenter en-
ployed also in the Union Depot, was
found to be wearing some articles of
clothing which had belonged to the muir
dered man, and for the possession of
which he could give no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION. He was arrested and carried
before Judge Heidenrich, but there was
no proof OF his completely in the murder,
and it was apparent that he must be ac-
quilted.
Barlean's friends, however, determined
upon holding this clew, and pressed the
prosecution, and, on the Doth of June,
Burner was sent to jail in default Of
bond, on the charge of grand larceny.
based Oh his possession Of the clothes.
He has been in jail ever since awaiting
trial, and is there at present.
Yesterday morning great excitement
was created in Vincennes by the discov-
cry Of the body of the murdered man. It
seems he had favorite dog, which, since
his disappearance, has been hanging
around the Union Depot. About three
weeks ago the dog was observed to go
very often to clump of trees about
quarter of mile from the depot, along
the line Of the Ohio and Mississippi
railroad. He would disappear in that
direction and be gone for an hour or
more, and then come walking back slow
" to the depot. That was repeated al
most every day, and yesterday morning
a gentleman observed him with curios-
ity. He saw the dog go and scratch I'M
der one of the trees.
The gentleman, DESTROYS of unravel-
ling the mystery, followed him, but on
his approaching the spot, the dog be-
came enraged and showed fight The
gentleman armed himself with some
stones, and soon made the dog retreat.
He then proceeded to the place, and saw
a dead mans hand protruding from the
earth and sticking up with open fingers.
He examined the place, and found that
the dog had scratched much of the earth
away from the body, which was buried
only few inches from the sight. It
was about 7 o'clock in the morning, but
the discoverer Of the horrible mystery
soon procured assistance, and the body
was readily Identified as the body of the
unfortunate barber, E. A. Barlean.

elry of the value of $4,000 had, how
ever, escaped the notice of the thieves.
On examining the house it was found
that ladder had been placed against
balcony, and an entrance effected into a
window above intoa spare room, whence
the thieves had no difficulty in gaining
access to the dressing-room.

EIGHT of the twenty-five principal
English races of the past season have
been won by first fayorites and the only
winner Of an important race which
started at really long odds was Jongleur,
the famous French horse, against whom
80 to l was bet just before the Cam
bridgeshire. For the Derby there were
four other animals who started atshorter
odds than SilYio who won.

THE excitement in England on the
subject Of hydrophobia had not subsidized
at the date Of the last mails. Thirteen
fatal cases thus far this year had been
registered in London; last year there
were six; in ten years preceding, an
average of two. per year. The panic
there has not resolved itself, as here,
into war against the Spitz. DR.. Often
burg was successful in curing the dis
ease in case which he treated at Mum
ster, Westphalia, by administering the
Tndian-arrow poison known as woorarl,
wourall, or curare. That powerful drug
checked the spasms, by it's peculiar
property of paralyzing temporarily all
muscular movements.

One Fault.

He. was a meek-eyed Granger, and, as
he came hesitatingly into our presence,
an uncommonly slinkly-looking yellow
dog skunk in between his masters legs.

there dog may be homely, but he is the
best cattle dog in this country; yes, sir,
he is the best cattle dog I ever saw, but
he has one fault-just one fault, sir-he
