rant Sworn Out Yet.
II was Senator Kenna's dog and not Senator
Harris that bit and painfully wounded the
seven-year-old son of Mr.. Morgan Harris, as
published yesterday. The dog, which is q large
one, was in front of the Senator'S house on
street Tuesday afternoon when the little boy
came along and patted it, as he had done be-
fore, but the animal, instead Of being playful,
turned upon the boy and bit him.
Mr.. Harris has not yet sworn out q warrant
against the Senator.
A friend Of Senator Harris who is not now
in the city, files the following demurrer with
The STAR:
'The Senator has no dog and has never
owned, harbored. associated with or admired
one in the last thirty years. The last one he
ever owned or admired left with Yankee bri-
gade when the state of Tennessee seeded and
he has not had much use for dogs since. By
giving this space in your paper You will set an
absent Senator right
At last accounts the poor dog was under sem
tence Of death in the dog hospital on Sd street
and execution Of sentence had been suspended
by the policeman who was sent there to act as
executioner.
As it waastated that the dog was worth $500
or more the policeman would not fire the fatal
shot until he was sure that Senator kenna was
willing.

What Gen. Ordway Might Have Done.


To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Gen. Ordway states that the action of Con-
gress compelled him to muster out the two col
ored battalions- This seems to have no founda-
ton in fact. If Gen. Ordway was not blinded
by the prejudice toward the colored soldier he
could have devised some plan for retaining him,
Notwithstanding the appropriation is reduced
In the first place the act creating the National
Guard only provides for twenty-eight COM
panies of infantry, if l mistake not.
Then why could not Gen. Ordway
have let the a2.400 paid for armory
rent for the light battery ambulance corps and
first separate company and the money expended
upon the engineer corps, all unauthorized by
law, pay legitimate expenses. Then again,
if the armories of the seventh and eighth bat
talions had to go why not allow the members to
drill one night a week. one night in two
weeks at the Center Market armory? The gen.
eral states himself that it would not cost any
more rental whether four or fourteen battaliono
occupy it.
Then, again. if two battalions had to be dis.
banded, as alleged by the general. why not dis
band those who had shown the smallest degree
of proficiency? At the last inspection one
white battalion was twice inspected and then
some of its companies did not come up to the
proper mark in proficiency, while all of the
colOred companies stood well, company A,
seventh battalion, standing very near to the
head. Official papers and general orders show
this. This plan, it seems to me. would have
been the most equitable and none would have
had the least cause to object. E. L. W.

marie Decc0's success IN h1cnfnOnu.
Miss Marie Decca sang in Richmond Tuesday
night and the Dispatch Of that city says: Miss
Marie Decca received an ovation, which she
merited. Her noble voice was heard to its best
advantage in ''Una voce POGO ia" and in the
duet from don Pasquale." The remarkable
register of her voice is perhaps its most dis
tinguishing characteristic, though the tone is
pure and even and in a measure sympathetic.
The Times is more enthusiastic saving:
'Her voice is formed and in her own keep
ing-a perfectly attuned instrument. Nothing
has been lost in freshness, and vet it is rich in
fullness and strength, elastic and mellow.
Whether in the clear or somber timber, she
gives the correct and proper expression in full,
round tones. In the perfection of expressing
sentiment and dramatic power, in her ac-
centuation, articulation, phrasing. color
ing and fexibility, she has mar
ried nature to art and the lights and shades
necessary to express the various feelings and
emotions are intelligently given. Showing
knowledge Of history and dramatic poetry as
well as the science of harmony and native
taste, she combines charming grace of carri-
age with a regal form and magnetic presence"

Disappeared Two Years Ago.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
NEW HAVEN, Aug. 26.-The mystery which
for two years has surrounded the sudden
disappearance of Charles Whaley from
North Lyme is believed to have been
cleared up. Yesterday Joshua Halford
caught a picSerel in Hog Pond, in Lyme,
which weighed between 8 and pounds.
When preparing the fish for cooking Hal.
ford found in its stomach gold watch ana
chain. On the back case was engraved the
name of Charles Whaley. The case OF the
watch was worn very smooth and the works
rusty. When it was shown to people who
knew Whaley they also recognized it as the
timepiece which he was accustomed to
carry.
On the morning OF July g. 1859, Whaley
told the foreman of his farm that he was go
ing to Hartford ON a business trip and
would be absent several days. He was
never seen again, nor was any trace found
of him until the watch was discovered in
the pickerel's stomach. Whaley was
bachelor, and reputed to be worth $l50,O0a.
The general belief is that in a fit of aberra-
tion he committed suicide. Hog Pond will
be thoroughly dragged, in the hope that the
body may be found.

JEANETTE, Aug. 26-The published en-

with the trouble among the window glass
men, is striking at the financial life of this
place. 1t is now generally known here that
the big window glass works, which are the
largest in the world, will not resume before
October /, at least, aud it is feared not even
then.
Business men here are almost in panic,
and many have declared that should the
works remain idle for month longer they
will either leave the place or be compelled
to suspend business.
