Newark has furnished four patients for the

epidemic of the disease is reported in Milwau-

life is despaired of, and several others bear
the marks of bites that may at any time de-
velop the disease. Several mad dogs have
been shot and several are still wandering at
large which are known to have been bitten
by dogs that died of hydrophobia. The resi-
dents ST the locality where the cases have
occurred are afraid to go into the streets, and
an extra detail of police has been stationed
there with orders to shoot down every dog
that shows the least symptoms of madness.

The Argus seems to be troubled at the late
decision of the Judge of the municipal court
in the Cady case, that a warrant of search
and seizure against a tenement does not au-
thorize the search or seizure of the person of
peripatetic rumseller. The trouble with
our esteemed contemporary is that it is dis
posed to be critical without knowing the
law. For its information we cite the opin-
ion of the late Chief Justice Appleton on
this point as found in 6S Me. AIS, State vs.
Graves.
This in search and seizure process. No pro-
vision is found for issuing such process against
liquors concealed upon a person. or for SEEING
them without process when so concealed. The
peripatetic rumSeller is liable for his violation of
law, but it is not perceived that he is amenable
or that it was intended that he should be amena-
BILE to this process. Complaint dismissed.
Probably the Chief Justice was wrong, but
as this case was decided in 1878, before the
Argus local set himself up as a court of APP
peal, it will stand as the law of this State,
for the present at least. If the question of
personal liberty is of no Importance it might
be well to have the power to arrest any per-
son on any sort of a warrant-but such does
not seem to be the law of the land

A SEVERE BATTLE.
The RevO ationarY and Government
Troops Take Part.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Undcr date of
Savanilla, United States OF Colombia, July
1st, Admiral Jouett reports a battle be-
tween the Government forces and RevOlu-
tionists, in which 900 men were killed.
The Admiral says: "The Revolutionary
forces number only $500 men, but they
hold a number of large river steamers, and
are able to move freely on the Magadalena
river, while the Government forces having
hut two small steamers, are obliged to
move by land. On June 10th, General Ca
margo, very prominent Colombian poll
tician and leader, arrived at this port in an
English steamer, and Immediately assumed
command of the Revolutionary army. The
arrival of Camargo who is violent liberal,
effectually defeated the efforts to secure
peace by treaty, which would undoubtedly
have been successful had he been delayed
or remained away a while longer.
Camargo quickly attacked a Government
force of 1900 men with his whole army. Al
though Carmargo claims to have won the bat
tie, he admits suffering a severe loss, includ-
ing several of his best generals. 1t is re-
ported that each side lost about 500 men.
The revolutionists clearly intend to con-
firm their operations to the Magdalena
river and the interior. This together with
the fact that the Government has now
steam vessels of war ON the coast insures
the isthmus and vessels on the high seas
against any chance OF disturbance by the

main settled, and that peace and good or
der prevails. There is, however, an
alarming epedemic of yellow fever at
AspisewaN and all over the isthmus.

A LOVERS RUSE AND POATOEFICE
How . Young Sculptor Of Talent Was
Dragged Into = Police Court.

ST. LOUIS, July 2O.-Wellington w. Gard
ner, the talented young sculptor, whose
statue of Frank p. Blair in Forest Park is
but one OF the monuments to his genius,
had an unpleasant experience last evening,
in which a police officer, an irate father,
loving and trusting maiden and an inter-
rupted clandestine correspondence are the
main features.
I 1t was. about $50 o'clock when Police
man Frank Lewis appeared ut the -Four
Courts with Mr.. Gardner in tow, and said
he had for some time been prowling around
at night in an alley south of Hickory street;
that the neighbors generally complained of
it, and that Walter C. Mcdowell, who re-
sides at 1852, Hickory street, was loudest
in his complaints.
Mr.. Mcdowell, who came to the Four
Courts soon afterward, made similar
statement. He was very much excited and
embellished his tale with assertions to the
effect that the neighbors were afraid to 60
out at night for fear OF Mr.. Gardner. who,
he said, was addicted to looking through
the cracks of the Mcdowell rear fence, and
in fact making himself very disagreeable, if
not dangerous.
Mr.. Gardner stated in his defense that it
was simply lovers ruse. He was in love
with Mr.. McDowell's daughter, and had
been engaged to be married to her since De-
cember Goth last. They had had a lovers
quarrel, since made up, but the stern
father had forbidden them to communicate.
The young lady and he still loved each
other, and the only way they could COM
municate was by means OF notes, which
were placed in cracks Of the alley fence after
nightfall, where he called to receive them
and deposit the answers. He stated that
he had over 100 OF these notes in his pos
session and could prove his innocence by
means of them.
Mr.. Mcdowell then said he did not want
to prosecute, as it would lead to embarrass-
sing publicity. Officer Lewis, having gone
to so much trouble to make the capture
wanted to have the matter pushed and
said Mcdowell had stated that he would
prosecute if the arrest was made. Mr.. Nc |
Dowell then stated that all he wanted was
to have Mr.. Gardner's prowling stopped, as
he had no use for him.
Mr. Mcdowell then went home, very proud |
OF having suppressed a postoftice, the man.
ager OF which he looked upon as a very Of
fensive partisan and not in sympathy with |
his administration. The sergeant released |
Mr.. Gardner, as it was difficult to see OF |
what offense he had been guilty. He keenly |
feels the chagrin OF being subjected to II pub |
lie arrest.
