A TOUGH CANINE.
With Two Broken Legs and Three Bullets
He Manages to Get Awny.

With Two Broken Legs and Three BuIiets
He Manages to Get Away.
A curious dog story comes from the South
side. Edward Hamburg, of Limerick,
owned large retriever dog, and this faith
full animal answered to the name OF Gar
negie, being called after the great capital
list. Some time since Carnegie" was run
over by wagon and had his two forelegs
badly fractured. Mr.. Hamburg decided
that the most merciful thing he could do
was to have the brute shot, and he accord
ingly requested Officer Shaffer to bring forth
his deadly six-shooter and deliver Gar
negie" from all mortal suffering.
Officer Shaffer loaded his gun and
the dog being fastened to a stump he COM
menced firing. The first bullet penetrated the
southern hip of Carnegie" and he howled
madly. The next bullet hit him on the
region of the mouth, and probably stopped
his utterance, for he howled no longer. The
third bullet struck him fair in the neck;
and then everyone thought he ought to die,
with his honor satisfied.
But, no; to the astonishment of the
spectators, "Carnegie," with all the energy
which is the distinguishing trait of his
famous namesake, burst suddenly from his
bonds, and with three bullets in his body,
and two legs broken, he hoped away on
his hinder limbs, and disappeared round
the nearest street corner. Nothing has been
heard of the strange animal since, and as
his dead body has not been found, it is
coniectured that he is still alive, in spite of
Officer Shaffer and his revolver.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPATcH.I
JoHNsTowN, September N.-Two more
bodies were taken out of the cellars here to-
day. keeping up the average for each full day
the forces were at work this week. Andrew
Carnegie has made proposition
that he will bear the expense of
rebuilding the Cambria library. His proposition
will likely be accepted and an imposing struc-
ture will be reared on the site of the former
building. There is an endowment fund in
vested in such shape that sufficient funds are
available to maintain it.
The natural gas company is not yet ready to
turn on the gas in the domestic system, and
many people who have been waiting for it suffer
great deal of Inconvenience now during this
cold weather.
Arrangements are about completed for lift
ing the bodies of all the unidentified dead and
having them buried at one place. The Flood
Commission will pay the expenses and have
neat memorial erected to their memory. The
proposition to have the records of the morgues
cared for permanently and the graves properly
marked meets with approval as every week
some persons identify their friends by examin-
ing the morgue records.

THE ROLL CALL.

Survivors Of the sevenry-sevenfh Go Over
the Old Records.
The survivors Of the Seventy-seventh
Regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers held .
meeting last night, and some of the most pa
thetic records were exhibited. Theregiment
was in the Western army, and Of course was
not in action with the army of the Potomac.
The talk was Of Chickamauga. Chattanooga
and other Western work, and the result was
that although Pennsylvania troops were
present there in each instance, the majority
of the boys were here in Pennsylvania at
the time when it needed preservation
against the rebels.
From Bates record as it was read last
night, the call of companies seemed very
pathetic. The replies from the various COM
panies were accordingly far between
all the ''boys" who went out in the first run
of the soldiers.
One man, Dave woodford, died three
weeks ago. Alexander Brown, killed at
Stone river; he lived at Turtle Creek.
And so the call went; with some few calls
the responses being:
II saw him killed at Chattanooga
81 knew him up or down to Alabama,
and then lost sight of him" and so on.
Captain Brough called the roll, and as
the reports came in from every company of
the regiment he showed sympathy with ssthe
boys" especially when one was called
killed.
The Eastern men present accorded with
the commanding officers, and were not only
willing to help out financially, but also as
sist the Seventy-seyenth Pennsylvania in
its coming reunion.
The following committees are appointed:
Reception Committee, William Jones, W. J.

that no one was authorized to obtain goods
for them upon their written order. This
morning pleasant-appearing, well-dressed
young man of about 20 years of age, entered
the store of w. C. Hodgkins q Co., at 800
Broadway, and said that he wanted six re-
volvers for the Goodyear Rubber Company.
Mr.. Hodgkins, who waited upon the GUS
toner, said that he would send to the agents
for enough of the revolyers to fill the order,
not having enough in stock. A man was
dispatched for an officer under pretext of
going for the revolyers. In the meantime
the young man presented an order purporting
to have been signed by the Goodyear Rub
Der Company Just then an officer arrived
and arrested the swindler. He gave his name
as Robert Just, Of Chattanooga, Tenn, and
his occupation as that of an electrician. He
was fully identified.

COL. ANDREWS In DANGER.
The AIIeghenian Suffers an Acute Attack of
Neuralgia.

Sidney Andrews, son OF Colonel James
M. Andrews, sent letter from st. Louis to
one of the ladies of the family last Wednes-
day which created the most painful appre-
tensions about the condition of Colonel
Andrews, who, it seems, has been upon the
verge of death.
1t will be remembered that since his re-
turn from Europe Colonel Andrews went to
Denver, Col, upon urgent business without
taking adequate rest after his fatiguing
ocean voyage, With his customary energy
he transacted his business and returned to
ST. Louis, taking up his quarters with his
son Sidney at No All Pine street. Last
Monday, upon his return from a drive, Sid
ney found his father sitting bolt upright in
a chair in the darkened room gasping for
breath and with his features convulsed with
pain Help was instantly secured and a
skillful doctor afforded the patient meas
ure of relief. and stated that Colonel An
drews was suffering from very acute neu-
ralgic attack which affected the heart. Had
not help come opportunely, Colonel An
drews would undoubtedly have succumbed
to the attack.
More recent advices are to the effect that
while suffering considerable pain the dis
tinguished patient is beyond the risk of
danger. His family and friends are much
reassured at the favorable turn in his condi-
tion,

The Serving of an Injunction Prevents Re-
sort to Blows.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH
ZANEsvILLE, September N-There was
quite a strife between the Cincinnati and Mus
kingum Valley Railroad and the Baltimore and
Ohio. which was quieted for the time being
by the former getting out an Injunction
early this morning. The troubles arose
from the Baltimore and Ohio putting
new locks on a switch which connects the
Columbus and Mount Vernon and the Balti-
more and Ohio and permits the former to have
access to the works of the Ohio Iron Com
pany, and demanding of the Columbus and
Mount Vernon people that when they wanted
to use the switch they should first obtain an
order from the train dispatcher of the Balti-
more and Ohio road. Instead the locks were
broken and locks of the Columb US and Mount
Vernon Company put in their places.
The Baltimore and Ohio then tore up the
switch, and the Columbus and Mount Vernon
had about completed putting it down again
when two Baltimore and Ohio yard engines
and large number of men appeared on the
scene. The engines took their position where
the switch should go down, and occupied the
ground for some time. The feeling between
the two squads of men became such that it was
deemed best to summon the police force, which
stood guard till the injunction was served.

To Band of Bank Burglars Who Have
Stolen S4O,0OO-A Very Mysterious
Affair-They Did Not Want

Afair-They Did Not Want
the Small Change.
HURLEY, WIS, September 21.-EverT
month about this time the Ashland and Ger
mania Iron Mining Companies pay off their
large forces of employees and fos this pur-
pose Cashier Wiley, of the Ashland Ma
tional Bank, shipped an immense sum Of
money to Hurley last night via the United
States Express Company. Upon the arrival
of the money at Hurley the Express Com
pany sent it to the Iron Exchange Bank in
wheelbarrows. Between the hours of 1880
and IL 80 last night the bank was entered
and the entire amount of the shipment
carried away by robbers. Only minor coin
was left behind. According to Cashier
Willey's statement S41, 700 was shipped from
bank notes, $13, $50 in gold and s., $40 in
silver.
The robbers, as there must have been more
than one, had their plans laid most per-
fectly. Like nearly every bank, the Hurley
Depository has a vault and a safe inside of
it with time lock. As the monev arrived
in town at 915 P. M, after the closing of the
bank, the money could not be put in the
safe. 1t was placed inside the vault, how
ever, and Cashier W. S. Reynolds remained
in the bank taking care of the large treasure
until 10:15 o'clock, when a friend came
along and he went out to the theater with
him. When the cashier returned at I1:3O
he noticed that the vault door had been
opened. Looking inside he was thunder
struck to see that the money was gone. A
large number OF small silver coins were
scattered all over the floor of the vault and
all was confusion.
Sheriff Mattson was hurriedly tele-
graphed, but did not receive any notice of
the robbery until too late to catch the train
for Hurley. Not even the faintest clew was
lett by the bold burglars. The door of the
vault had not been marred, and it was
opened bv some one who had learned the
combination. There were only two men
supposed to be in possession of it, Cashier
Reynolds and Assistant Cashier Leonard
Perrin.
The exact amount stolen was $39, ,895. The
robbers were evidently in too much of
hurry to take small silver, and 81, 805 was
left behind. The United States Express
Company is the loser of the money. They
did not deposit it in the bank, but merely
left it there for safe keeping over night,
when it would be delivered to the consignee,
Manager William P. Lyon, of the Ashland
and Germania mines. 1t is likely that the
express company will announce heavy re-
ward for the apprehension of the burglars.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM 10 IHE Dr3FATCEsI
CHICAGO, September 21.-The fourth
week Of the remarkable search for jurors in
the Cronin murder case would have closed
without incident this evening il Attorney
Donohue had not hoped to his feet just az
the last venireman of the twenty-irst venirs
was excused, and renewed his motion made
four weeks ago for synopsis Of the proof
the State holds against little Kunze, who,
it is claimed, drove Daniel Coughlin to the
Carlson cottage.
Mr.. Donohue reiterated his previous state
ment that neither he, as the appointed at
torney for the defendant, nor Kunze him
self, knew anything about the proof upon
which the prisoner was held. Judge Nc
Connell, without listening to further argu-
ment, said that the States Attorney ought
to furnish Kunze with a synopsis Of the
minutes of the grand jury.
HE DECIDEDLY DIRECTED.
Mr.. Longenecker entered an earnest objeo-
ton to the stand taken by the Court, claim
ing that If it were maintained to the end the
officers of the State would be busy inform
ing criminals in jail about the testimony
taken against them before the grand Jury.
Judge Longenecker declared that Kunze
was held for murder, and that the proof
against him would be outlined in the States
opening address 10 the jury.
He maintained further that the effort 70
force the State to show its hand was . ruse
to defeat Justice, and held that If Kunze was
entitled to read the testimony against him,
Burke and the rest of the prisoners could
claim the same privilege. Then Mr.. For
rest arose. He made q long speech in which
he upheld Mr.. Donohue and dwelt upon the
Innocence" of Kunze, which he tried to
lead the Court to believe had been in
measure established by his conduct during
the trial.
Judge Longenecker thereupon launched
the pertinent inquiry If the guilt or inno-
cence of the rest Of the prisoners Is to be
Mills was the last to speak. He made such
an outcry against the proposed "snopticaI
review" that Judge Mcconnell

he had tied to his early ruling and in
formed the lawyers that he would decide
the point at some future time. Mr.. Mills
in his plea against granting the prayer Of
the defense declared it to be an anomalous
proposition. IF it were granted, the lawyer
maintained it would open the door TO the
secrets of the grand jury room and establish
one of the most dangerous precsdents in this
State.
During the interesting argument Kunze,
who has claimed from the start that he has
never been officially informed as to the
specific charges against him, grew intensely
excited and glared savagely ct Mr.. Longen-
ecker. At one time be hissed something al
the public prosecutor, and made move as
if to get out of his chair.
The examination Of veniremen continued
all day without incident. The defense lost
one and the State two peremptory chal-
lenges. Thus far 495 men have been excused
for cause The trial will be resumed at
o'clock Monday afternoon.

ing Is Entirely Probable.
ELDoRADo, KAN, September 21.-Last
Tuesday farmer named Dudley, who lives
three miles from Rosalie, this county. en-
gagged Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards to assist
him in gathering his crops. While walk
ing to the farm that afternoon, they were
Joined by Mr.. and Mrs. Bloomer, who
were on the way home from Rosalie,
accompanied by their 3-year-old child.
Arriving at the Dudley farm Mrs. Bloomer
placed her child in Mrs Edwards charge
while she accompanied her husband to the
held to see Mr.. Dudley. When they re-
turned to the house the child was missing.
The neighbors were summoned to institute q
search, but the child could not e found.
Mrs. Edwards strange actions aroused sus-
plcion, and she was finally charged with
having murdered the child. She denied the
charge Indignantly and the search was con-
tlnued. The child could not be found.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bloomer were satisfied in
their minds that Mrs. Edwards had made
away with it, and to test their suspicious
they proposed to extract a confession from
from her. Accordingly she was told that
she was to be hanged, and had better con-
.fess the crime. She obstinately main
ta1ned that she knew nothing
OF the cause of the child's
disappearance. A rope was found, one end
placed about;her neck and the other thrown
over the limb of a tree. Just as the body of
the alleged murderess was about to leave
the ground she broke down and confessed
that during extreme annoyance at the
child's disobedience of her commands she
had killed 1t and given the body to her
husband to dispose of it. He carried it to the
creek near by and threw it in the water.
Her husband denied any completely in
the crime, and the same means were resorted
to force confession from him that had been
employed so successfully upon his wife.
He was strung up minute or two and then
cut down. He then confessed that he had
seen his wife herself carry the dead body of
the child to the creek and dispose of it
there. He, himself, he said, had nothing to
do with the crime, except to witness the dis
posal of the body.
A committee of the neighbors was then
formed to make systematic search of the
premises and creek. Mr.. Bloomer, the
father of the missing child, was made Chair
man of the committee, and he is directing
all the details of the affair. Mr.. and Mrs.
Edwards have been given into the charge of
the committee. If Mrs. Edwards story Is
verified, both she and her husband will
doubtless be lynched by the committee, as
great excitement prevails over the affair.
So long as there is any doubt of the guilt of
both or either of the accused, Mr. Bloomer
refuses to take any action.

They Offer Excursion Rates TO Cincinnati
and Columbus.
The B. & o. announces a low excursion
rate for six days to Cincinnati and Colum-
bus from Pittsburg. As there is no event
in progress in either place this move is re-
garded as rather funny. The supposition is
that competing lines have been cutting rates
out of these places, and the B. & o. takes
this method of evening up matters.
Division Passenger Agent Smith left for
Cumberland last night to look after the ar
rangements for carrying excursionists to
Cumberland for the big centennial to be
held for three days, beginning tomorrow.
Excursion rates to Cumberland will be sold
on the A. M. train only out of Pittsburg.
In the theatrical line, the Austin Com
pany will go over the road to Indianapolis;
Woman Against Woman" Company to
Cincinnati; Worlds Museum to Columbus.
The Pennsylvania road refused to transfer
Alvin Joslin's baggage car to the Baltimore
and Ohio, and the manager of the company
was exceedingly wrothy about it.
