| The appearance of mad-dog created
| great excitement in Manchester yesterday.
| The fact that there was such dangerous
| creature wandering at large IN the city
| soon became generally known and nessen-
! gers were sent out in search of children
| who we're playing in the streets. The dog
came from Richmond by the Free Bridge,
| and when coming down Seventh street
| started 10y biting "a dog on that thorough
| fare. He then went up Porter street,
and upon arriving at Eleventh tired
| his tusks on little boy, the son OF Dir. /.
| NJ. Fendley, but only tore his clothes. At
| Twelfth street the canine came IN contact
| with largo Newfoundland, and after
| out that street and bit man en-
ployed in putting up poles for the
electric-lights. Mr.. Rex also met the
animal, as did a son of Mr.. j. p. An
| drews, who was bitten very badly. The
canine then went out Nineteenth street
toward Markss addition, and bit a
little boy named Robertson. A num-
Der of dogs in this city were
bitten. and 1t would be well, perhaps. for
| the Mayor to issue an order requiring per-
sons owning dogs to keep them up for
several days. The dog was spotted
hound. The policemen were notified and
| hunted for the brute, but were unable TO
| obtain any definite information as to Its
| whereabouts except that 1t went IN the
| direction Of Petersburg.
