NEARLY TORN TO PIECES BY A DOG.

In the rear of the tenement house No $50 West
Thirty-ninth-st. Is q docayed and bad-smeliing
frame rOOkery. three stories HIGH which is partly
stable and partly babitation for Irish families.
An ambulance was summoned there yesterday and
a boy, who had been chewed nearly to death by
savage dog, was removed to the Roosevelt Hospi-
tai The boy is William Evans, seven years OF
age His parents live In the second story OF
the building. On the top floor lives Mrs. Hagan;
widow who has five grown-up children. She also
has large white and red mongrel bitch, which Is
the pet of the family. The animal has been ugly
enough at all times, but on Wednesday night IT
gave birth TO ten pups and yesterday its ferocity
was increased by maternal cares. Mrs. Evans had
lent her broom to Mrs hagan and she sent Willie
upstairs TO get it back at D. m. yesterday: Mrs.
Hagan's front room was occupied only by
the dogs when Willie entered aud took possession
of the broom. Before he could retreat the angry
brute rushed at him, threw him upon the floor and
began to tear the flesh from his back.
The boy fought desperately, knocking over Mrs.
Hagan's table and breaking nearly all her dishes,
but the enraged animal proceeded to gnaw hls
wrists, legs and feet. WIlle's screams attracted
the attention of his father and of Mrs.
Hagan's daughter and they rescued hun by vigor-
ously clubbing the dog. The lad was bitten in so
many places that he probably will die. Mrs. Ha,
gan did not want the dog killed and it was still
alive late in the afternoon. Mrs. Evans thought
that the chances of her sons recovery would be III
creased if the dog was shot.

THE VERDICT IN TIE SHORT CASE.

District-Attorney MARITIME and his assistant. Colo
mel Fellows yesterday expressed freely their disap
pointmept and indignation at the result OF the
Captain Phelan. Mr. MARITIME said: The result
is simply outrageous A clearer case was never
presented to a Jury. This office had done every
thing possible and do not know of a case in this
county in which the prosecuting officers had
worked harder or had prepared case morecarefuly.
There seemed TO be no escape from a conviction
possible If there were no other evidence, the fact
acknowledged by the witnesses for the defence
that they, all being Shorts friends, left the room
when they saw Phelan and Short engaged in a
fight with knife in the hand of Short, seems in
consistent with any theory except that of assas-
sination. Almost the only explanation of the con-
duct of the Jurors is that they were moved by fear
They have at any rate shown themselves the
stnpidest of men and shall take good care that
none of them shall serve again on jury in Grim
nal case of any Importance willie am in Office"
Colonel Fellows said that he was utterly disgust
ed and that no words could be used too strong to
express his indignation at the verdict OF the jury.

THE MAYORS APPOINTMENTS.

The Mayors Office was thronged usual yester-
day with persons who wanted TO influence his

Saturday to act and 1t Is understood that he Will
NOT make known until that day the result OF his
deliberations. William NJ IvIns, his former private
secretary is thought to be certain 10 be appointed

ty.goyernment will enable him in that place TO
assist the Mayor III guarding the city's funds. Tax
Commissioner Asten is looked upon as sure OF re-
appointment. No other official has received such
a popular Endorsement For Park Commissioner the
name Of T. L. Boardman was prominently men,
toned yesterday. Charles Reilly. ,well-known
follower of Hubert D. Thompson and an active
ward politician, was said to be anxious to succeed
Commissioner Hess. 1t was regarded as improb-
able. however that the Mayor would make q
change SO ipimical TO the public interest
Commissioner of Jurors Caulfeld feels assured OF
his reappointnent though some doubts have been
expressed by others who want the, place. Ihe
frauds exposed in the Commissioners office some
years ago. for which was ever punished,
have been brought up against him. But the
Mayor is said net to be influenced by
that fact. Ex-Alderman Seaman, who was on
friendly terms with Hubert 0. Thompson while In
the Board of Aldermen, Is being pushed for the

A meeting of the tslegraphers was held
here tonight with closed doors. and if
is said matters of importance to the
craft were considered. Representatives
from Marshall, Dallas, Dennison. Waco

were discussed to redress them, II il
known that several operators, who
came here and worked a short time
were let out because they were on
