SAVED HIS MASTERS LIFE.
A Dog That is Worth His Weight il
Gold.

Gold.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28-ISpeciaI. l.
George Herge, milkman living in
East Williamsburg, Long Island, is an
inmate of st. Catharine's Hospital,
Brooklyn, waiting to have one arm and
a leg amputated lin order to save
his life. During the intensely cold
weather last Tuesday night he started to
walk from Williamsburg to his home,
about three miles distant. When about
one mile from home, and while cross
ing an open field he was seized with an
epileptic fit and fell on the ice. He
became unconscious and would have
been frozen to death, but for timely as
ssstance rendered by his faith
full dog. The animal found
him prOstrate on the ice, and
attempted resusitate his master by
licking his face and hands, and rubbing
himself against his masters body and
bowling dismally. No one seemed to
hear or heed the dog, but Mr.. Herge re-
covered sufficiently to set up, but could
not regain his feet. AS one of his sides
was so beuumbed by the cold that one
leg and arm became useless. He man
aged to reach his hat and held it out in
front of the excited dog. The intelli-
gent creature understood the motive
and seizing the hat in his mouth start
ed at free speed for Mr.. Herges
house. and on reaching the
front door he began barking
SO violently that he aroused one of the
workmen employed on the place. He
succeeded in making him understand
that assistance was needed. The man
procured help and followed the dog for
a mile. About o'clock in the morn
ing Herge was found badly frozen, be-
ing unable to move. The men raised
him i'll their arms and carried him
home, when medical aid was promptly
summoned and efforts successfully
made to restore him. The physicians
said it would be impossible to save the
mans life unless the frozen limbs were
amputated and he was taken to the

DISCUSSING THE DOW LAW.

Mr.. Kennedy Argues in Favor of Return
ing the Tax to the Township.
COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 27.-Today in
the House was the discussion of Mr..
Kennedy's bill amending the Dow law
by providing that the tax shall be re
turned to the township in which it is
collected. The judiciary committee re-
ported adversely on the bill, but this
did not worry Kennedy, who made a
hard fight for it. The contest was
opened by Kennedy, who said
the townships were paying large
sums into the county treasury under
this bill and not receiving their lust
proportion of the amount in return. In
Cuyahoga county he stated that the
townships took care of their own poor,
and as the Dow law tax was largely for
that purpose the townships should re-
ceive it back.
The ancient telephone bill fixing the
monthly rent for one telephone at three
dollars, which was Tevamped by Mr..
Clarke, came up for second reading in
the House. Mr.. Clarke moved that the
bill be referred to the commit
tee on commerce and manufactures.
The committee on finance reported
favorable on Mr. Brittons bill providing
that counties, townships and munich
palities shall not create a debt in ex-
cess of 10 per cent. of the grand dupli-
cate. The bill will be considered next
Wednesday.

When the case against Mrs. Julia

people on the West side Bohemian flats
last Thursday evening, was called in
the municipal court yesterday morning,
w. q. Holins arose and stated that he
appeared for the defendant.
Clerk Reese looked astonished at this,
and turning to the court, said:

fled me, your honor, that lie has been
retained by this prisoner"
That's right remarked John
O'Brien, C. DIS brother, as he stepped
forward and addressed the court.
s:This woman's friends have been to see
us and have retained us. As we have
not had time to look into this case very
much we would like to have it continued
until afternoon"
Judge Bailey ordered the case eontin-
ued until then, and during the noon
hour Mr.. O'Brien was, agreed upon to
appear for the defendant. Court con-
vened after dinner, but owing to the
fact that it would be impossible to finish
tie case inside of one day. and in order
thai the attorneys might have more
time, it was decided to continue the case
until Friday morning. She was at once
removed to the county jail, from where
she was released a short time after on

WHEAT UP, FLOUR DOWN.
The "MiIIer's" Weekly Review of
the Mark of

the Market.
There was more preceptible falling
off in the flour output last week, the
grind being the lightest in seven weeks.
The fatal production OF the week lend
ing Oct. 81 was $4,000 bbIs-27, 267 bbls
daily-against 200 bbls for the pre-
vious week, and 157. 100 for the CORES
pOnding time in 1887. The remark a
week ago that curtailment of the
output was possible has been realized
sooner than was expected. There are
two mills. representing daily capacity
of 1000 bbls, shut down this week and
more promise to be idle a week hence.
Millers say that although wheat keeps
going up, flour is unstable, and that
there is no other alternative for them
than to stop grinding until there
is a change in the rela-
tive positions of wheat and
-four. Nov. is the date set for closing
the government reservoirs up north,
and as they are at present supplying
about so per cent OF the water, this will
have decided effect Oh the power Of
the mills. A committee of mill owners,
however, has been appointed with a
view to inducing the proper authorities
not to shut off the supply as intended.
The flour market continues very dull.
with millerS inclined to ask more to off
set the advance in wheat. While few
struggling orders have been taken for
bakers at about 29s cd, the export trade
continues without any life. Offers, how
ever. rangea little higher than week
ago. Asking prices, London C. i. f., $50

@3Os; low grades, 16@lSs Cd. The di-
rect exports last week were 29,700 bbls,

Suicide of a Horse.

New York sun.
A remarkable story of the death of
horse by suicide is told by Peter
Gumaer, a reputable citizen of this
town. He owned handsome brown
mare, notably intelligent, kind and
fast, for which he had refused an offer
of 81 COZ. The mare was suffering with
painful and fatal disease. One day
last week two veterinary surgeons Wis
tied her, and their treatment apparently
augmented her pain and sutferings.
When she was again turned loose in the
field where she was kept she imme-
diately trotted off to a shallow stream
of water that ran through the lot,
and, wading into one of the deeper
pools. she plunged her head under
water and held it there until she sunk
down, first upon her knees and then
npon her side, and was drowned. Her
owner insists that the sagacious animal
knew what she was doing, and that it
was clear case of suicide to escape in
tense physical suffering.
