THE DEVILS DOG
DragSa a COIOred Preacher from the
Pulpit.
A Panic-stricken Congregation
and the Jumps they Made.

About 4 o'clock yesterday evening
a splendid bulldog, pure white, bound
ed into the back door of Mount Olivet
Chapel, on the corner Of Georgia and
Orleans streets, where a couple Of
hundred colored people were attend
ing religious services and ran half
way down the aisle without noticing
any one. Then, suddenly turning,
the animal increased bis speed and
sprang into the pulpit, from which it
dragged a visiting minister, off the
bench, down the steps and into the
amen corner. Terror seized upon the
hearts Of the congregation, who ran
screaming out Of the doors and jumped
from the windows, leaving the un-
fortunate preacher to the mercy of the
ferocious brute. One man, Armstead
Perkins, steward in the church, was
braver than the rest and, snatching
heavy walking-stick, beat out the
dog brains. The brothers and sisters
are much disturbed over the affair.
Several Of those who jumped from the
windows were cut by broken glass
lying around loose.
Another sensation took place later
in the evening at Avery Chapel,
colOred church which stands on stills
over the bayou at the corner of Gsyoso
and fernando streets, and in hourly

GUlTEAU'S SHOW.
Mrs. SCOVilIs, His Sister, on the
Stand.
Another Witness Makes the Assas-
sin Cranky.
The Head Crank Gets in "a Few
Words.

WASHINGTON, November The
Criminal Court room was densely
crowded this morning, and at ten
o'clock Mrs. Scoville resumed her ties.
timoDy. She described Guiteau's ac.
tions during his visit to her in '76
and said she was then convinced that
he was insane and should be put in an
asylum. Frequent objections were
raised by the counsel for the prose
cution to the character Of the ques.
tions proposed by Scoville, and a con.
tinuous discussion ensued between
the counsel upon the admissibility Of
certain evidence. At this time some
irritability was manifested.
The witness does not understand
the rules Of evidence, gentlemen,
said Scoville.
"Yes, but you are supposed to,
was the reply.
Witness, when asked if she had evel
before been upon the witness stand
replied with much emphasis, mo
and I'm not lawyer either"
Mrs. Scovilles examination was
concluded and the CROSSE examination
was postponed to allow George D.
Burroughs. of Chicago, to testify, as
he desired to leave the city. This
witness boarded with Scoville at the
time of Guiteau's visit in '78, and
made up his mind that the prisoner
was either fool or crazy. He was sat
isfed that Guiteau was unsettled in
intellect.
There was a briefinterval before the
next witness appeared, and Guiteau
took advantage of the opportunity and
broke out with, II desire to tell all
these crank newspaper men that ap.
pear here as my own counsel that is
my answer to all silly stuff they have
been delivering themselves of for some
days past. Some Of these newspaper
men have gone crazy. l appear here
in part as my own counsel, as l have a
right to do under the law and consti.
tuition Of America" No effort was
made to check Guiteau, and no notice
whatever of the interruption was
taken by the court.
