heId Conn, who was bitten by dog Decem-
Der 2S died early yesterday mor5ing. his
spasms continuing almost until the last, Ebout

A STUD STABLE ON FIRE.-Thursday night
three large stables and barns, one long row OF
stalls, loo bushels of corn 300 tons of hay and
about :, 500 bushels of grain were DESTROYED by
fire on the stud farm of Col. David Mcdaniel
the turfman, situated three miles from Prince
ton, n. j. AT the time the fire broke out thirty
valuable horses mostly running steeds, were
in the stalls, but all were rescued without re-
ceiving any injury. Col. Mcdaniel estimates
his loss at $1,000 with a small insurance.

reached its highest development. In Birming-
ham, Conn, last Monday prominent citizes

that he was about TO die of starvation, and,
going out TO the barn, systematically cut his
throat with razor. Il have done il, he said,
as his wife came up TO him, and, with out
stretched arms and throat horribly gaShed, he
fell at her feet a corpse.
To BE POPULAR, a police commissioner
should select the kind OF policemen that can
keep the small boy from chaIldng front
fences. A school of design in the house Of
refuge might afford suitable vent for tho
small boys artistic enthusiasm, IL a police
force powerful enough TO take him i'm hand
were to be organiZed.-[ Louisville C0ur.-your.
