THE WAR ON DOGS.
An Active Campaign by the Pound
Men-Hearing Cases in the Police Court.

Poundmaster Einstein is continuing the war
inaugurated against the dogs at the beginning
Of "dog days." and the pound wagon makes
two trips every day. The first trip Is made
early in the morning, the start being made be-
fore daybreak. On this trip the men look for
and pick up homeless, tramp dogs that live by
stealing and eating whatever they can pick up
about the streets. There are many such dogs
in the city, or, at least, there were many Of
them not long ago. The constant work Of the
poundmaster has lessened the number consid-
erably during the past few days. Tuesday
morning there were twenty-three dogs cap
tured, and yesterday morning the number was
twenty-seven.
suRR1NDERINo THEIR PETS
The second trip made by the wagon IL Of Q
different nature, although the men pick up
any stray animal that comes in sight. On this
trip the men 60 after dogs that are surrendered
by their owners. These animals belong to the
owners are either not able or not willing to paw

beginning OF the license year the police make
visit to almost every house to locate dogs
and consequently the number Of licenses taken
circumstances. The demand for tags during
the past few days has been SO great that the
supply has been exhausted. Persons who pay
the fee now are given certificates which are
honored at the pound to redeem the animals.
During the past two days eighty-fve dogs have
been collected from the houses Of persons who
would not purchase tags, which, together with
the dogs picked up on the streets, makes q
total OF lbs CANNES impounded in two days.
IN THE POLICE COURT.
Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court
Judge Mills devoted some Of his time to the
cases OF tagless CANNES brought before the
court by Officers Slack and Fifeld. The first
was the case of Albert WALL and the officers
testified that on Sunday they counted seven
teen dogs on his premises. The defendant de-
MED that be was SO wealthy in dogs. He said
he was the owner of but seven and he read
their names as follows: Grant, Joler, Buster,
Pluck, Shot, Rags and Major. Other dogs
came to his place, but he should not be held
for them. It was necessary, he said, on ac-
count of his hogs to keep dogs. The court
suspended judgment to give Wall q chance to
tag the dogs.
Thomas Owens was charged with keeping
three dogs without tags. Mr.. Owens said that
license had been procured for the black dog
and the others had been killed before break
fast Monday morning and he had got ahead of
Slack. The court intimated to witness that the
officer was simply doing his duty and he would
permit no reflection to be made upon him.
John Sargent was charged with keeping three
dogs and gave personal bonds to procure tags.

TEy DAYS IN THE HEART OF THE ALLEoHES1Es
The line air, bright skies and charming scenery
that have made Cresson famous have an added
attraction in the proximity Of the devastated
Conemaugh valley and the ruined city Of
YOUNGSTOWN. As starting point for an excur-
sion into this region Cresson is pre-eminently
the place. Frequent trains, both morning and
afternoon. run in both directions, so that one
may spend morning or afternoon or the whole
day in the valley Of the food. There Is much
to be seen, and one who has read OF the food
without seeing the flooded section will find how
slight conception OF its terrors words and
pictures have conveyed to him. The Pennsyl-
vania railroad company's personally-conducted
excursion to Cresson on August 30 is Just the
opportunity OF the summer. The tickets are
valid for ten days; they include days board
at the celebrated Mountain house and carry
with them the privilege Of a reduced rate for
the remainder Of the time. The rate from
