william Dean and Dogs.

The Cecil "Whig" admires the per-
tinacity with which William Dean Of
Newark, pursues even to death the
worthless dogs of his vicinity. 1t says
while the dogs in Cecil county are an.
nually destroying about fifteen hun.
dred dollars worth Of sheep II Ia
much regretted that we haven't a few
citizens who will emulate the example
Of Mr. William Dean, in New Castle
county, who has been making worthless
ours scarce around Newark. He places
pieces Of meat ''loaded" with strych
pine IN his fields and when dogs come
TO run after his sheep, they eat the
bait and kick the bucket. Mr.. Dean
did not even spare bis own dog which
was in the habit of chasing sheep, but
gave him dose of strychnine. Mr..
Deans snmity against dogs is rather
we'll known, and at the last session of
the Legislature he urged q determined
and bitter warfare against CANNES in
general.

A Chance for Life.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Sunday Press, says the
trial of Chastine Cox for the murder OF
Mrs. Hull, is set down to commence on
Monday, but as MIR. WIN. +. Howe, his
counsel, has already commenced his
legal tactics it is hardly likely the trial
will begin then, and perhaps not for
several months. A writ of habeas cor
pus was IT, ken out this week, and a
certiorari to compel the Coroner to fur
nish the testimony taken at the inquest
upon which the prisoner was commit.
ted. A large number of medical men
will be summoned TO prove from this
and the postmortem examination of her
body that Mrs. Hull was not murdered
at all. 1t is true that the respectable
Mr.. Cox has repeatedly acknowledged
that he pressed all the weight Of his
body on her chest; that he put a gag
in her mouth and forcibly held it there
until she ceased to breathe; but all
this did not kill the woman. She died
from fright. The insanity dodge will
also form part of the defense, and for
this the darkey is already reh"arsing.
The head of the Society for the Proven
tion of Cruelty to Animals and the
ladies are also interesting them, elves

Death of Ex-Governor Allen.

Hon. William Allen, Ex-Governor OF
Ohio. died suddenly at his residence,
"Fruit Hill," near Chilicothe, Ohio.
He was born at Edentown, N. c., in
1906, and received a fair education
there, but early emigrated to Ohio,
which offered more promising field to
a young and poor man. He settled at
Chilicothe, adopted the profession of
the Law, took an active part in politics,
and was a Jackson Democrat to Con.
eress, where he served from 1888 to
1885. He was afterward elected United
States Senator, the youngest man ever
elected to the Senate, and served from
1887 to lS49. his reelection being Sc
cured almost without opposition.
After the close of his second term.
though taking a warm interest in poll.
tics, he sought no Office. and was cleo
ted to none until 1874, when he was
nominated by the Democrats for Cover
nor of Ohio and elected. He was re-
nominated toward the close of his term,
and the campaign was fought on the
paper money issue. Gov. Allen was
defeated, and since then has taken no
part in politics. He was lifelong
Democrat, one OF the best of his party,
but during the war was a strong Union
man, and advocated the vigorous prose-
cutlon OF fostilities to the end.

A TriptO Cape May.

A representative of the REpuBLlcA,
was fortunate enough to be one Of til,
number who stepped from the deck o
the " Susie A. Mccall, to that of the
Queen of the Delaware, the "Repub
lie, in mid-river yesterday morning,
about 9,15. Waving "ta ia" to the
gallant little Susie, we were soou
comfortably seated listening to the
strains Of excellent music furnished by
the Republics" band, and admiring
the bright picture presented by party
of light-footed lads and lasses who were
indulgiDg in the fascinating pastime OF
dancing. We reached Cape May about
one o'clock, and in short time there
after the " Republics" cargo of pleas
ure seekers were scattered over the Is-
land, each following the bent of his or
her taste, and if there is any place on
the coast where the varied tastes can
be sated in the line of pleasure and re-
creation Cape May at present fills the
bill. As the shades of evening were
falling we again boarded the Queen,
and in a short time we're plowiAg the
"raging deep" towards home. On the
up trip the brass and string music gave
way to minstrel performance, which
was highly appreciated by those Oh
bUard.
When opposite Fort Delaware the
storm, which had been threatening,
struck US with all its fury, and for q
little while the vivid lightning, heavy
rain and crashing peals of thunder, Gre
ated considerable excitement and alarm,
especially among the feminine portion
of the passengers. But Captain Lackey
soon convinced the most timid that
there was no cause for fear, as he and
his gallant craft needed the "war of
the elements" no more than they did
the summer zephyrs.::In fact Capt. Lack
ey and the Republic" are names that
carry confidence and safety with them.
The storm was still raging when we
met the "Susi-, "and great credit is due
both Captains Lackey and Denny and
their well-trained crews, for the skillful
manner in which the transfer of passen-
gers was made. Altogether the trip
vas a delightful one, and for a day of
are pleasure and true enjoyment we
would heartily recommend a trip to
APE May on the "Republic.'
