DUEL WITH A DOG.
Mr.. Hughes Terrific Encounter With
His Pet Cur.
From the Netc Yoyl: star.

From the Neic York STAR
The loud, shrill scream of woman, at
$50 o'clock Saturday morning, attracted
the attention of Henry Freeman and Will
lam Schwartz, rs they stood at the corner
of Third avenue and East 111th street The
sounds were made by Mrs Edward Hughes,
of No. 2l50 Third avenue, whittier the
young men proceeded hastily, aud were i'm
plOred by the woman TO come in and save
her husbands life
Hugues keeps a small cigar store, barber
shop being III the rear. In this latter apart
ment Freeman and Schwartz found Hughes
PROSTATE on the floor, struggling fiercely
with huge dog which had already bitten
him IN several places.
Freeman seized chair, and belabored the
vicious brute, while Schwartz tried to drag
him from the PROSTATE man.
Every blow that fell on the Infatuated
animal seemed to heighten his anger and
make him fight all the harder. Not for a
moment would the dog loosen his hold upon
his breathless and suffering adversary, who
lay bleeding on the floor. One heavy blow
splintered the chair, but had no effect upon
the beast, which chung to his fallen master
like lion to his prey, despite the united
! efforts of both the young men to free the
unfortunate man.
Ia the wild excitement of the moment no
one seemed 10 have presence of mind to
shoot or stab the beast, and the repeated
! screams and yels of the frantic wife brought
Private Waterman David Bull TO the scene,
who Immediately joined in the attack
All this time the bruised and bleeding
man was writing in agony and calling to
the crowd, who had by this time gathered,
TO save MIN.
XIII the brute cut his throat.n yelled
the victim, as he held on TO the dogs ears 70
keep him from tearing off the flesh from his
lacerajed neck.
! Then it was that Waterman Bull thought
of his revolver, and quick as a flash lie
| pulled il and emptied the five chambers at
| the dog, but without effect for only one
| ball entered his body, and that merely
served to infuriate him ali the more.
The report of the pistol threw the entire
nelghGorhood into a great state Of excite
! meat, and posse Of policemen came run
ming to the spot. but none had pistol, and
all the clubs IN the precinct would not serve
any purpose. Finally Policeman Neral
/ got a long sword, and after several desper.
ate attemps managed 10 run the brute
through. The animal then fell back dead
with the blood Of bis victim trickling from
ms ugly jaws.
The wounded man was taken 10 the Har.
! lem Hospital, where, after an exanliuA ion
II was found that his injuries were very
serious, if not fatal Both cheeks were
terribly Iacerated and torn One side Of
the nose was torn away, and the flesh Of hi.
chin and throat was fearfully gashei. ex
posing the windpipe.
Mr. Hughes said he was teasing the dog
when it attacked him; that it was a r.ongra
cur Of no particular breed
All the children in the vicinity were in
the habit Of playing with the dog. but b.
never attempted to bite them He seernec

and no one else. His name was Rover.

PERSONAL RIGHTS.
An Organization that Favor Temperance
But Opposes Prohibition

CHICAGO, August Sth.-The Executive
Council of the recently Incorporated Person
al Rights League effected an organization by
the election of officers to-day. w. n.
Dyrnforth was elected President. In ac-
cepting the Presidency he delivered an ad-
dress setting forth the objects of the
League. He declared that the organizers
and members of the League, while strongly
in favor of temperance, are opposed to
prohibition, as being impracticable and de-
grading and aimed at personal rights. Be-
ing opposed to prohibition as e principle,
they are naturally opposed to having the
intolerant advocates of that principle OBJ
tain such control or influence in politics as
may give them an opportunity to introduce
laws in restraint of the exercise of personal
rights. The manufacturer of alcoholic
beverages should be strictly under the con-
troll of the authorities, and stringent meas
ures should be adopted to prevent the adul-
teration of food products Among other
aims of the League are: The prevention of
corruption OF the press and politics, purify
ing the administration of public finances,
and the repression of trusts and like
monopolies. The League organization has
extended TO several of the larger cities
throughout the East and the membership
is constantly growing. The President said
the prospects so far were very fiattering.

Charges Against One OF the Jurors in tn
Maxwell Case.

Maxwell Case.
ST. LOUIS, August Sth-The manner in
which Governor Moorehouse ignored the
request of the English Government for a
respite in Maxwell's case was q severe
blow to his attorneys. The lawyers asked
for day in which 10 prepare important
papers, and the time was granted These
papers incorporated a charge against one
of the jurors, which was passed upon by
both the trial Court and the Supreme
Court. The only difference is now shat
there are three afidavits against the iuror,
whereas there was only one before the Su-
preme Court. 1t is claimed that Juror
Coulton declared that Maxwell should
have been hanged without a jury.
1t is generally supposed that Governor
MoOrehouse would refuse to grant a respite
on the affidavits to be presented. Hence
preparations for the execution are going
steadily along. AT six o'clock this morn
ing the death watch was placed again over
him. His body, after being embalmed,
will be sent to England. The prisoner
does not seem cast down and still has hope.
Ha passed the greater portion of the day
playing seven-up with his guards.
This afternoon the arguments of Max
wells counsel were heard. Charges were
made against two of the jurors, and the
British Governments request for a COM
mutation of sentence was presented. Gov
ernor Moorehouse will render his decision

evening in honor of the Cabinet Ministers.
Alter the banquet a number of speeches
were made.
The Lord Mayor, in offering q toast 70
the health of Lord Salisbury, said the Gov
ernment did right in defending the unity of
Empire.
The Prime Minister, replying, said the
local government bill had solved the diffi-
cult problem of how to govern London
without doing injury to the valuable
privileges of the county. Regarding Ire
land, Salisbury said the great curse of that
country was its proyerty. The Govern
ment was not able to diminish poverty. nor
to enrich men, but it could enable men,
without interference, to enrich themselves.
lie claimed that the Irish Government had
been successful in lessening the tyranny
exercised by associations over the Irish
people, and that il had increased the
sanctity of contract. If the Government of
Ireland were administered for few wears
with the same judgment and tirmness as
now, liberty and prosperity would be re-
stored in that country.

She ascribed this solely TO giving out work
to contractors. These contractors, she said j,
are Russian and Polish Jews, who take the
work home. Their work is not so well done

facturers save large sums in rent and other
ways. Witness never found Il person
who worked for a contractor who
made even 81 week. She had

laborers, and gave it as her opinion that
