ALL ABOUT A DOG.
The Vito of Texas Harry Creates IL Scene
in tho JUSTICES Court.


Judge Williams court was the sceno
Of sensational dog case yesterday
afternoon. j. b. Powell got out q writ
of detinue against Mrs. Bell Golden,
wife of "Texas Harry" Golden, to OBJ
tain possession of little white spitz
dog, which had been missing from him
for over two years.
Powell let the woman have the dog
for few days in the latter part of
April, 1889. She and her husband left
town May 9, and since that time Powell
has made every effort to find the valua-
BILE animal. Tuesday he happened to-
the street with him. He took the dog
and immediately a scene followed.
Powell turned the dog over to a
policeman, who took it to police head
quarters, where it was held till yester-
day, when the mayor gave Mrs. Golden
an order for it, Powell heard of tho
transaction just in time, and, getting
out writ of detinue, overhauled the
dog yesterday just as the parties
were leaving town. They had pur-
chased their tickets and were on the
train, but rather than give the dog up
they gave up their trip.
The trial took place at o'clock.
Powell said he bought the dog in Gooch-
land county December, 1888. He let
the woman have it in April following.
lie never gave il to her; it was only a
loan for few days.
On tho other hand Mrs. Golden
claimed that Powell gave her the dog in
1886. She kept it nearly month be-
fore she left town.
During the trial Golden became bois-
ferrous, and Judge Williams told him if
he opened his mouth again he would
ane him $40.
Mr.. Randolph appeared for Powell,
and Mr.. Iloge for Mrs. Golden. When
Judge Williams decided for Powell Mrs.
Golden created q scene, and clasped her
arms around the dogs neck, dropped on
tho floor and declared she would never
leave him. 1t was some time before
she could be gotten away. The dog was
turned over to the constable to be hold

THE BEHRING SEA.

England's Proposed Action in Regard to
the Behring Sea Matter Severely Criti-
eised by the scaiers. who Openly Pro-
pose to Evade the Law--It Would Mako
Much Trouble for the United States.
WASHINGTON, May 3l.--Conside rable
interest il being manifested here over
the proposed action of the British gov
eminent to prohibit British subjects
catching seals in Behring sea during
the coming season. This proposition,
cable dispatches say, has caused great
excitement, and seaiers are openly pro-
posing to evade any restrictive law that
may be enacted on the subject. The
feeling among the London and Liver
pool merchants, outside of the Ameri-
can con- any, is reported very strong
against the proposed measure. and the
government is freely denounced for
what they claim is a cowardly surren-
der to the United States.
Should the proposed law pass, and
the sealers carry out their avowed in
tention to disregard the law and capture
seals whenever and wherever possi-
BILE, it will give the United States con-
siderable trouble in protecting her in
American interests in Behring sea will
require several more vessels than have
usually been sent to those waters, as it
has been proven heretofore that the
revenue cutters Bear and Rush are in
sufficient to afford protection under the
present law, and if the proposed closure
law is passed it will probably double
the work in this direction. The Alert,
Thetis, Marion and Mohican are now
at San Francisco and are about the
only vessels of the navy available
for the service, and will probably be
sent to the seal islands should the ne
cessity arise. The other vessels of the
Pacific station, the San Francisco, Bal
timore, Charleston, Iroquois and Ran
ger, are at present scattered at points
some distance from San Francisco, audit
would require some time to recall them.
1t is doubtful if they could arrive in time
to be sent to Behring sea on this duty.
No definite arrangements have been
made, however, as it is not certain
what steps the British government will
take.

Questionable Remarks.

WASHINGTON, May 3o.-Mr. Louis
Schade, editor of the Washington Senti-
mel, yesterday called Secretary Fosters
attention to a published interview with
Gen Grosvenor, chairman of the COM
mission appointed to investigate and
report upon foreign immigration to
this country, in which he referred to
Wisconsin as practically a foreign
state. The secretary said that he had
not seen the article, and after reading
it authorized Mr.. Schade to state pub
licly that he could not believe that
Gen. Grosvenor had made use of re-
marks attributed to him.

BARNUM'S BODY.

Ghouls Make an Attempt to Secure the
Remains of the Dead Snowman, but Are
Thwarted by the Watchmen at the
Grave-A Fusilade of Pistol Shots Sent
After the Retreating Resurrectionists,
and One of Them Thought to Have Been
Wounded.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May 30.--A dar-
ing attempt to steal the body of p. T.
Barnum. the veteran Snowman, was
made about o'clock yesterday morn
ing by ghouls Geo. Callahan and
John Brakeman, the watchmen, fell
asleep about o'clock, having remained
awake during the previous day. Gala
han is light sleeper and was aroused
by the sound of pick. He quickly
aroused his companion and both
proceeded in the direction of the
grave, whence the sounds came.
They crept to within few
feet without being heard. Cal
lahan then said: "Who is there" No
reply came but the work stopped, and
one of them exclaimed: "Run, boys,
for your life: we are caught" They
dashed off and both watchmen fired
their pistols at them. They continued
shooting until their revolvers We're
emptied. A cry came from one of the
men after he had run a short distance,
and the guards supposed he had been
shot. They followed but could find no
oEe.
An investigation was made at the
grave. On the north side was found an
excavation in the ground several feet
deep. In order to reach the body it
would have been necessary to work
through a wall inches in thickness,
The crypt is covered with two stone
slabs, weighing two tons.
The men found dark lantern in the
excavation which the ghouls had used
and dropped in their flight.
The news of the attempted robbery
became known in this city and caused
widespread indignation. The two
watchmen have been guarding the
grave since Mr.. Barnum was buried.
The ghouls probably thought that the
watchmen had been taken off, and sup
posed they would not be interrupted in
their work
The robbers are thought to have come
from out of town. Late Thursday night
a team was hired in Milford by four
men, The team was not returned and
was found wandering in the streets
yesterday morning.
The object of the ghou1s seems to
have been to get the body and hold it
for a reward.

A SUDDEN SUMMONS.

Death of Judge Samuel M. Breckinridges
of st. LOUIS While in Attendance Upon
the Presbyterian General Assembly at
Detroit. MIch.-Apoplexy Announced as
the Cause of Death-The Assembly Ban
quet Postponed in Consequence.
DETROIT, Mich, May 29-At this at
ternoon's session of the Presbyterian
assembly Judge Samuel NJ. Breckin-
ridge. of St. Louis, died suddenly. He
was of the committee which had the
Briggs case in charge, and was looked
to with respect by the convention, his
moderation and observation-disclosures win
ming the confidence of all. He was in
good health during the morning session,
and was an attentive listener to the
proceedings. He rose to make many
suggestions, but none betraying any
bitterness whatever in the dispute.
This afternoon he reported in his
place promptly and in the best of
humor. Shortly after the opening of
the session President Patton announced
to those about the chair that it would
probably be impossible to get to vote
in the Briggs case, Judge Breckenridge
rose to talk on some legal points in
the Briggs case. He was listened to
with close attention. He held that the
church must act this year or the mat
ter would be ended. Before he got
through he fell in faint and had to be
carried out of the church. Several
doctors came to his assistance, but he
died in few minutes.
The tragical occurrence threw pail
over the assembly. The fainting fit
came without warning. He said on his
arrival here that he had never felt bet
ter in his life. He had intended to GO
to Europe, but found that business en-
gagements would prevent. Only to-day
he spoke of this little disappointment.
Immediately after the announcement
of the death of Judge breckenridge the
assembly adjourned.
