Encounter with a Dog.

Us. Wilton had quite an exciting
encounter with a savage dog, while on
his return from his Tenn Pahute trip.
He incautiously approached within
reach of the brute, who was tied up in
the stable at the Willows station, and
the beast sprang upon him and seized
him by the inexpressibles. rending
that portion of his costume from STAR
board to larboard. Mr.. Wilton had
considerable difficulty in getting away
from the dog, but finally succeeded
and made his escape from the prenli-
ses. He is emphatic in the belief that
he would have been eaten up alive,
had not the chain hat confined the
canine been a strong me-.

Thieves.

Last Tuesday night, thieves visited
the Hamburg Ranch, near the Rozlyn
furnace, and stole three or four dozen
chickens. Not content with their booty,
they demolished the chicken-house
and carried 1t away. The loss falls
very heavy on Mrs. Morton, the owner,
as she derived quite an income from
the poultry. 1t is a pity that some OF
these nocturnal depredators cannot be
detected and punished.

An adjourned meeting Of the citizens Of
East Washington was hold At McCauley's Hall
last evening TO hear reports In reference to
funds raised for tho relief Of yellow fever
sufferers. Colonel James A. TAFT presided,
with Mr.. Delwig as secretary.
II was reported that twenty four boxes had
been placed In various business places In East
Washington, including two In Uniontown, for
the purpose Of receiving cash contributions
The idea Of placing boxes In tho public school
buildings was abandoned, as tho School Trus-
tees anticipated this by having collections
taken up In the public schools. No reports
have yet been received from the boxes.
A telegram TO the treasurer, p. p. Little
from Mayor r, +. Beck, Of yicksburg ac-
knowlolgos the receipt Of $50. Although sew.
eral remittances have boon sont, this Is the
only acknowledgment received.
A resolution, offered by Mr.. Vermillion, was
adopted, thanking Mr.. McCaulcy for the gra-
tuitous use OF his hal and also the officers and
members of the soliciting committee for their
uuremitting exertiors.
A small amount Of cash collected was re-
ported. IL was also announced that an enter
tainment by the o. W. d. Club would be given
at McCauley's Hall this evening, the proceeds
to be devoted to the relief of the sufferers.

what was called the attempted absorption Of
this Organization by the downtown" relief
committee. Tho members did not appear will
ing to bo absorbed" although no iil-will was
expressed or any disposition to create discord
II was agreed to continue the organization, at
least until all the reports are received.
The discussion regarding the downtown"
commission brought out somo bitter express
sicns regarding the manner In which Washing
ton east of the Capitol was neglected. Colonel
TAFT said that, while they were unable to get
water In their houses on the hill, people down
town were enjoying the luxury of swimming
school. Mr.. Delwig thought that people on
the hill were treated like dogs lie referred
