DRAGGED TO DEATH
A the End of n Halter by u
Crazed Horse.

Yesterday, at nearly noon, Felipe
Maldonado, the seven.year.old son oi
Jose Maioonado, was leading horse by
: straw halter near the residence OF his
father, on Lyell street, East Los Ange'
les. The horse became frightened and
started to run away. The little boy did
his best to rein in the animal, but It
made a sudden swerve which caused the
halter to become entangled around the
little fellows leg, and he let go the rope.
The horse, finding himself freed. started
to run, and Felipe fell down, being
dragged for a distance of over mile,
ACROSS the street car tracks and through
the bed Of the river. The horror.
stricken beholders vainly attempted to
stop the horse in his mad career, and il
was only at Alameda street, near Macy,
that he was finally brought to a stand
still. The little fellow was shockingly
hurt and disfigured, but was not dead,
though unconscious. He was taken in
an express wagon to the barber shop oi
Susands, on Main street, where DR..
McGovern hypodermically injected the
body of the child to allay his sufferings.

A CONNECTICUT CUSTOM,

hear a story from Connecticut
which, perhaps, sounds naturally
enough up there, but which will be
likely to have some elements of
amusement in it for people who have
never lived in that part of the
world. The town of Hamden or
Woodbridge is the scene, and the
story is of a custom that exists there
for providing newly married couples
with wedding gifts. AS soon as
woman gets married it is incum-
bent upon her not to stay at home
and receive calls from the neighbors,
but to climb into a wagon and go
whirling up and down the road for
as many miles as her acquaintance
may extend or the powers of Con-
necticut horse hold out. She stops
at neighbor Smiths house, drops
out of the wagon and greets neigh
Dor Smiths helpmeet in something
after this style: "Well, Mrs. Smith,
l have got married, as you know I;
so / have come round to get my
gift. What kind will you take?"
If the average man outside of
Hamden should hear young
woman say something of this sort,
he would be apt (unless the young
woman was pretty) to imagine that
something was wrong with her head.
Not so. "What will you take?" is
plain enough to neighbor Smith 8
wife. All brides say the same thing,
and it has got to be an old story.
"What will you take?" means
what kind of tea will you take.
There are merchants in New York
who give premiums to country
agents, and there is one firm whose
premium is in the shape of house,
hold goods, dishes, etc. If a young
woman can get her acquaintance to
subscribe for 100 pounds of tea she
gets something pretty nice to pay
her for her trouble, and the tea
does not cost the purchaser any
more than if purchased of the coun-
try storekeepers. Thus Connecticut
is able to be generous without pay
ing cash, wherefore is Connecticut
happy N. Y. Times.

A SAD AFFAIR,

New York, July IS. - Adrien
Crucy and his sister Lucie were
found dead at GO Lexington street
yesterday. The Crucy family came
from Nantes, Department of Loi-
reat, France, in 1851, and settled in
New York. There were seven in
the family-father, mother, two
sons and three daughters. Andre,
another son, had died in 1880,
year and five weeks old. Twenty
nine years ago the Crucys rented
the 3-story brick house No. GO Lex
ingtOn avenue, on the northwest
corner of Twenty fifth street, and
the whole family went there to live.
Since then the father, mother, one
son and two daughters have died,
leaving Adrien, the youngest son,
aged fifty-one, and Lucie, aged
fifty. These two lived unmarried
in the daughters old house. Adrien
was a well-known business man, had
seat in the Produce Exchange and
was a member of the Maritime and
Metal Exchange, and comparatively
well off. Both had many friends.
One week ago Adrien had light
sunstroke. Yesterday morning
neither Adrien nor Lucie appeared
at the breakfast table. The servant
thought Adrien had become worse,
and his sister had staid in his room
to look after him and did not want
anything to eat. AT IL O'Clock
they had not come down and the
servant knocked at the door. There
was no response and surprising both
were asleep she went down stairs
again. AT O'clock she knocked
again and tried the door and found
the door locked. She went around
to door between the two rooms
and found that locked too. She
then called policemen, who broke
in the hall door and found Adrien
lying on his back on the bed. His
face was turned toward the ceiling.
His iron-gray mustache was ilecked
with blood and his gray hair was
dripping with it. In his right hand
was an old style 32-caliber Smith &
Wesson 5-shooter. One chamber
was discharged and the ball had
gone into his brain, entering the
back of the right temple. In a
little iron cot at his right side, a
foot lower than his bed, lay his
sister on the left side, facing him.
Her right temple was crushed and
she was dead. She held in her hand
a new 3S-caliber Smith 4 Wesson
revolver. A 3S-caliber bullet was
found on the pillow, where it had
spent its force after going through
her head. The revolver had been
fred but once and cartridges were
found in the other four chambers.

TREASURY SuRPluS.

Washington, July by the ac-
ton of the House on Friday last the
special order for tomorrow is the
joint resolution introduced by Re-
preventative Morrison TO apply the
surplus in the Treasury in excess of
$1,000, 900, 900 to the payments upon
the interestbeariDg debt in sums of
not less than $40, 900, 900 per month.
The present surplus is about S175,-
100000. After retaining $780,
600, 900 to hold greenbacks steady,
there would be, under this resolu-
ton, $50, 600, 900 to be applied to-
ward extinguishing the public debt.
Opinions differ, however, as to
where the safety line should be
drawn. Many think, and this OPT
Mon is decidedly expressed at the
Treasury, that 500, 200 is not
enough to be retained. The ex-
penses of the Government are, in
round numbers, 100000 a day.
If from unforeseen cause the reve-
nues should be even temporarily re-
duced for any length of time, it
might be necessary to draw on the
surplus. This would have ten
dency to weaken greenbacks and in
evitably create more or less finan-
cial disturbance in the country.
Careful conservative men say the
surplus should not be reduced be-
low from $50, 900, 900 to S15O, O00,-
600. 1t is quite possible that the
resolution may be amended in this
respect, but it is very likely TO pass
the House in some shape. Carlisle,
Randall and Morrison all favor it.,
and when these three agree touching
anything the chances are strong in
favor of its going through. Nor
rison intends to turn full head of
steam upon the resolution tomorrow.

SPORTING ITEMS.

After firing both barrels at a duck
and failing to hit him either time,
the bird generally returns within
easy range, and the gun being emp
ty, the gunner becomes mad, and
tries to club the duck with the butt
of his gun. To prevent this annoy
ance carry pistol and fire twice to
deceive the duck. When your dog
runs down any bird, that shows his
economizing propensities and illus
trates his high training and intellect.
When the gun becomes too hot from
rapid shooting, dip it in water, or if
there is no water at hand, take a
large mouthful of coal air and blow
through the barrels. When your
dog retrieves a dove or quail let him
stuff his mouth and throat with the
feathers of the bird, because it ex-
cites the game fever. Teach your
pup to retrieve that he may learn to
take a firm grip on the game. When
you accidently shoot your dog, take
off his pelt and pick out the shot.
Hoping the above items will be APP
preciated by amateur sportmen,
it is also hoped that they will notice
the following poem:-
''This mans earthly race is run
He locked the hammer of n fowling gun
And blew in the barrel just because
He wanted to see If it was loaded and

,rnm.nt, und.r an old law, for tsk.

ing care of Government lands and
roads in Honolulu, mauka as far as
acknowledgement. The commission
empowers him to seize all animals
found at large on the public domain
or roads, and to hold them until
claimed by their owners and then
collect fifty cents a day for their
keep. Under this commission Ku-
kona's two young sons, according to
the evidence in the case in question,
found the horse in Punahou street
and drove him to the paddock refer
red to. The keeper testified to the
horse being on the dairy premises
early in the morning, and to the
impossibility of his getting out with
out the gate being opened for him.
As, however, the boys were not seen
letting the horse out on the street,
they were discharged. The question
of overcharge for custody of the
horse was not relevant to the case,
and could only be dealt with under
separate action.
Without presuming any guilty
action in this particular case, yet it
is notorious that gross abuse
exists at Punahou under the law re-
lative to animals at large. There
have been cases not only of double
charge demanded for horses corraled
as trespassers, but of horses being
held for the fees when there was not
the slightest doubt that they had been
deliberately taken from private pre-
misses. In one case horse was
being groomed in its owners yard,
when it bolted through the gate
opened to admit the butchers cart,
and in few minutes was impound-
ed with charge of one dollar
against its owner. The fee was not
paid, but the horse was returned
about as speedily as it was taken
away, for the owner had been
watching the whole proceeding.
Kukona's paddock is not a public
pound; horses cannot be detained
there legally more than "a hours, and
owners if known must be notified
Immediately when their horses are
captured. 1t is well for the public
to know these facts.
In giving his decision in the above
case, Justice Bickerton said the COM
missioner of Government land had
no right to delegate his powers to
the two boys or to any person. His
employees or children might do the
capturing of trespassipg animals,
but the commissioner must be pre-
sent to give legal sanction to the
operation. How much worse, then,
must the abuse be if anybody, as
would seem to be the case, can cap
ture animals and share fees with the
poundkeeper? This matter was re-
ferred to by the BULLETIN last year,
but the abuse still continues, as re-
sidents of Punahou can testify.
Neither is it confined to that locality,
and the authorities should inves-
