j. NJ. Sales gave US the following
information: Twelve days ago a
dog which showed symptoms Of hy-
drophobia, belonging to Francois
Chretien residing about mile south
of town, was seen in town. He bit
several dogs on the east side of the
bayou (which have been killed since.)
The rabid dog then went towards
his owners plantation, stopping at
the plantation Of Mr.. Sales who had
noticed the dog. Mr.. Sales went in
the house for bis gan, and when he
returned found that one of his cows
had been bitten on the ear and on
mouth. He killed the dog. Mr..
Salles felt uneasy about his cow and
watched her. Nine days after hav-
ing been bitten, the COW began to
show symptoms Of hydrophobia. and
had some terrible and fearful spasms.
The COW was Immediately killed

The appointments made by Cow
ernor Foster during the week did
not give general satisfaction. It
was not expected that they would.
Ia the FIRST place he made no attempt
to and did not expect to please the
lotteryites. If his eSeelleney had
been able to secure a little white
winged angel from heaven and put
il ofhoe, the McEnergites would
have kicked. It would have been
their policy to do 80, and nothing
could make them happy but the Sc
lection of some one of theirs own
men. Then again of course Gov
ernor Foster did not please the ap-
Dlicants for office who did not get
appointed. Neither did he please
their friends or endorsers. He was
bound to displease AID disappoint
some body and that explains the
tremendous howl that went up when
the appointees were announced. On
the whole, however, The appoint.
ments give both pleasure and salts
faction to the great mass Of people.
There may be a few individuals, it is
true, who could have been improved
upon, but taking altogether the ap
pointees are at least honest men and
will hardly bring the administration
into bad odor or disrepute. Sunday

GARFIEnD ASSEMBLY, STUCK,
Probably, for the Back Dues st Repaired
Some NIembers to Pay.
A+t1+kA++t4++4+

Some Mombers to Pay.
Garfield Assembly, K. of L, com.
posed OF the cigarmakers of the city,
has just received a decision from Grand
Master Workman Powderly, which will
likely cause it some expense. It has
been the custom in this assembly, when
one Of its members left the union to 60
into some other business and ceased TO
pay dues, 10 make him pay the dues for
the time he was ont, or else refuse
him readmittance into the union when
he wanted to come in again. BY pay.
ing certain fees on leaving the union, a
member could leave the way open Tor
himself to come in again without pay
ing back dues. But very Jew took nd.
vantage OF this law.
There was then good deal Of dissat-
isfaction with this rule. Men who were
known as good union men, on quitting
work at the trade to go into some other
kind of business, were compelled, they
claimed, to pay back-dues for several
years when they wanted 10 work at
their trade again, while known seal"
could join the union on better terms
than they could, and the union would
be glad to get him.
Some years ago Mr.. David Hahne, the
Forty-third street cigar and confection-
cry man, worked at the trade Of stogie
maker. He went into the confectionery
business aud OF course dropped out OF
the union. A few months ago he
started up a stogie making business and
applied for permission to use the as;
sembly's union seal. He was told he
could have it if he would pay some SIS
or $50 back dues. He paid the money
under protest and appealed to Mir.
Powderly.
Mr.. Powderly's decision has arrived,
and he says that no assembly OF the
Knights of Labor may collect dues from
old members, unless, during the time
such members paid no dues, the Assem-
bly, continued to pay his capitation tax
intothe general treasury OF TIE X. Of L.
Accordingto this decision it appears
that Garfield Assembly will have to re-
fund to Mr.. Hahne the back dues he
has paid in, as there is no question that
his capitation tax was not paid by the
assembly; in fact his name was dropped
from the rolls. There are about two
hundred others who were in the same
boat with him, and it is supposed that
all will "brace" the assembly for their
money.
