The Dog Under the Wagon.
EJ.o,,l The Roefo, Poet

have noticed lately one or two examples of
uufeeliug treatment of dogs which it seems to
me should be prevented by the society with the
long name. Ii consists in fastening an animal
under a vehicle by Il rope which does not allow
him freedom of movement, and l have noticed in
a number of cases that dog thus tied is in dan
ger of being strangled by sudden jerk There
are animals, like coach dogs, who run easily
and naturally under a carriage, and as long as
they are not fastened they are able to avoid
violent strain. But to take dogs unaccustomed
to such treatment and keep them on the stretch
with the liability to work them beyond their
strength seems TO me a sort of barbarism which
ought to be done away with in a civilized com
munity. have often thought that persons who
treat dogs in this unfeeling way ought to be-
subjected to similar treatment, and if as is
sometimes said as an excuse for such miScon-
duct, its perpetrators lack the capacity to real
ize the suffering they ntlict, the chance of Civ
ing them means of realizng it should be speedily
afforded them,

ham trains stopped on account of the dark
ness, storm and danger, but came through
all right and went out ON time yesterday

They are Fighting About.
CHICAGO, March 30-The swltchmen.
engineers and firemen who struck Yesterday
assembled at the yards at Western avenue
and kinzie street this morning, but none of
them went to work Passenger trains were
moving, but freight business was tied up
and not a yard engine was moving. The
men stood about in crowds and had many
sympathizers with them. There was no
etiol on the part Of the police in the yard
to disperse them. They were reticent ana
refused to talk of their action or outline
their demands, but were unanimous in their
determination not TO work.
BOUND TO MAKE TROUBLE.
The decision of the switchmen at their
meeting yesterday to enforce a rigid boy
colt Oh "Qn cars viii involve any amount
of complications The idea as explained by
j. A. Hall, their chairman, is something
like this: 90 cars: will be switched back
and forth IN each of the different
yards as often and to whatever point
IN the yards the companies may
desire, but the engineers will decline to Put
their engines to draw them out, and if the
20" should perchance succeed in penetrat-
lag into the yards with any of its new en-
gineers then the switchmen will decline TO
turn the switches.
EIGHT TO BE REFUSED.
Freight delivered by the 20" to othe +
roads will likewise be refused, first by the
switchmen, who will decline to turn the
switches and attend TO the trains on the
ground that their lives are endangered by
The new engineers incompetency. The
new scheme has been thoroughly formu-
lated and will be systematically carried
out.
The statement that Chicago might yet be
shut off entirely inside of a few days may
be now in fair way of realization The
assistant yardmasters of the "Qn road have
also fol owed the striking switchmen. OF
the sixteen working in the yards only two
have remained in the service of the COM
pany. The four night yardmasters, the
strikers claim, also quit work.
IMPORTED swITCHMEN.
Ninety-eight switchmen from the Read
ing read arrived in the city last night over
the Fort Wayne road. They were not in
tercepted bv delegation of strik &
switcbmen some distance out as was init
mated would be the case, and were
not given the alternative of re-
turning east or engaging in active
warfare with the strikers. They were
taken 30 the Briggs House, and encountered
several strikers at the entrance of the hotel.

One Negro Murders Another Within
Hearing of st. Michaers Chimes.
CHARLESTON, S. c., March 30.-A horri-
BILE murder was committed here in broad
daylight, and within sound of st. Michael's
chimes, at $50 o'clock this morning. 1t
occurred III a low negro den, called sailors
boarding house, in Elliot street Jack
Green, who had been a witness against the
proprietor, Douglass, was the victim. The
murderer was named Nat Pinckney. All
the parties are negroes. The two men had
controversy in Douglass establishment
at the hour named. When they separated
Green fell to the floor with horrible cash
in his left breast, immed ately over the heart
The wound, which was inflicted by a sheath
knife, was large enough TO admit a mans
hand. Pinckney escaped, but was over
taken late this afternoon five miles from
the city. 1t is thought that the murder was
concocted between Douglass and Pinckney,
but as Douglass is the principal witness it is
doubtful if a conviction can be secured.

The Ogeechee RIVER Gets Ten Feet
Above It's Low Mark
MIDvILLE, GA, March 29.-The rains
have been very heavy here this week The
Ogeechee river was about ten feet above low
water mark last night, but fell one foot
during the night. Last July it was twelve
or thirteen feet above low water; though it
is a very rare occurrence for it to rise more
than eight feet. Two bents of the trestle OF
the Midwife and Swainsboro railroad bridge
were washed cut yesterday. Railroad men
think they can repair the damage to-day.
The News correspondent cannot ascert ain
what damage is done to the crossway of the
toll bridge, as the has been no communi-
cation from the Emanuel side since day be-
fore yesterday. Farmers will suffer heavy
losses from having their lands washed up
and fertilizers that have been put out re-

DOUGHERTY'S DELUGE.
The Bridge Over the Kinchafoonee
Creek Too Dangerous to Cross.

The Bridge Over the Kinchafoonee
Creek Too Dangerous to Cross.
ALBANY, GA, March 30-The flood still
prevails here. Last night the Southwestern
railroad bridge over the Kincharoonee creek,
two miles above Albany, was so badly
washed that no trains can cross over it.
General Manager Kline has had a large
force at work all day trying to protect the
embankment with hundreds of sand bags.
The creek is still rising. 1t broke its banks
this evening, and has washed on each side of
the bridge. The county bridge over this creek
is in the midst of a channel of surging
water. Both the approaches have been
washed away and all communication with
Lee county, by land, has been cut off. All
the roads leading north are a mass of
water. The creek looks like an immense
lake. There is water as far as the eye can
see. Passengers were transferred across the
bridge to-day and the mails reached here as
usual, but late.
The Flint river has risen twenty-four feet
since the beginning of the freshet Much
stock will be drowned upon the river farms.
