DOG TaAT sMOK i s.
How the Astonishing Intelligence of a
Canine is Turned to Account.
From the Cincinnati Eno,lirer


Attorney John J. Mccarthy has a friend
who owns a dog. The canine is Of the
"curb-stone breed" but possesses astonish9
ing intelligence for one of the four-footed
genus. Through vicious associations the
dog has become nothing less than a crook. ~
he performs any number OF curious tricks
He follows Mr.. Mccarthy with more fidelity
than his owner, and has an admiration for
the attorney that is past all understanding
AT the lawyers command he will sit up
and, after being covered with a hat, will put
on most sage look and smoke cigar. Mr..
Mccarthy, by way of joke, has turned his
brute friends accomplishments to account
though the benefit all went to the crowd.
During these exhibitions of tho CANNES
tricks someb }dy has always offered TO buy
him. Mr. Mccarthy has always explained
that the dog did not belong to him.
The would-be purchaser, SO anxious to
possess the dog, would express a willingness
to take chances. and after much persuasion
the lawyer would yield and transfer his
rights for IS, which would lie spent in
entertaining the crowd. The purchaser
would take the dog home, but in a hour or
two the canine would make his escape and
return to bis real owner. The animal has
thus been sold a score OF times, and in one
night tsice. He seems to understand what
IS expected of him and enters into the fun
with almost human intelligence.

bold attempt was made to wreck train on
The 1AnAdelphia and Ssashore railroad, between
TuskaAos and Petersburg. N. J., yesterday
morniAg. When the down train, which leaves
Tuckahos Tor Cape May City at 10 o'clock, was
Tying through dense swamp two miles below
Tuckahoe the engineer suddenly spied q large
heap Of heavy timber piled upon the track
about 800 yards distant He quickly whistled
for brakes to be applied and reversed his en-
CINE and brought the train to o standstill not
thirty yards from where the obstruction was
piled up on the track.
The train had but two cars and about fifteen
passengers. The passengers and trainmen
quickly alighted and found that heavy ties
had been piled across tho track and heavy
pieces OF iron spiked across them.
Before attempting to remove the obstruction
the trainmen searched in the surrounding
woods to discover the perpetrator of the das-
tardly deed. Not hundred yards from where
the train was stopped the conductor, who was
ahead OF the searching party, found a big
burly man nearly six feet in height hiding
back OF q large tree. He Immediately started
Tor the conductor, who was no match for the
man and was badly beaten. but the others sue

committed the decd and said he was only sorry
ne had not succeeded in throwing the train off
the track.
An angry mob had by this time gathered
AT the scene. He narrowly escaped being
iynched at the hands OF the passengers Of the
train and those who had gathered around.
He refused to give his name and was taken
back to TuckaEoe, where he was given hear
ing before justice of the peace. Nearly all of
the inhabitants of the little village rushed to
the Justices Office anu again tried to get pos
session OF the man. He was closely guarded
by constables and was safely locked up in the
county Jail at Cape May court house last
night.
The greatest excitement prevailed at Tuck
ahoe and it was feared an attempt would be
made TO set the man from the Jail and lynch
him. He stubbornly refused to give his name.
II ls supposed that the man is one of the
many employees Of the road who are owed
large sums OF money by the road which il Just
