The article under the caption, 'iDr
a. f. Cox" published in Thursday S
GAZETTE, may need explanation, and
it is due Dir. Cox that such be made.
The sketch was prepared by one of the
officers of the city and read by HIM to
Dr. Cox and several other gentlemen
who were present. 1t was the impress
sion at the time that DR.. Cox did not
object TO its contents, as it was written
in humorous vein, and the writer was
in no way responsible for It's publica-
ton. 1t is acknowledged by those ho
heard it read, and even by the Doctor
himself, that he might have left those
present under the impression THAI il
publication would not offend INN. O
course matters in cold typ al
different from what they Iil al
The whole thing was done IN a pm. y
fun, and | regret that il gave aH o.
fence to the Doctor, who is generally
liked by his fellow officers for his geiiiai
ways and amiabe disposition. Is the
writer copied and had the article puo
lished, ii is for him 10 make the amru,!-
and express his {, is he h.,.
done to the Doctor in rels"

4 MAD DOG AT LARGE.-Great eX-
element has prevailed in West
End and the western part of
The city during the past forty
eight hours from the fact that Il
dog. supposed to be mad, has bitten
halfa dozen or more people and sew
cral dogs during that time, and that
lhc animal is still at large. The dog
which has terrolized not only West
End. but the western section OF The city,
belongs 10 Mr.. RoMcr Brown. His first
victim. Milton Watkins, son of Mr..
Winfield Watkins, was bitten FIJI
day, and so alarmed were the young
mans parents in their dread OF what
might result, that no time was lost in
sending their son to Fauquier county
to be treated with the maidstone. On Sat
urdav the same dog bit the seven-year-
old daughter and siXteen~year-old son
of Mr.. J. W. Brown. of West End, to-
ccther with one or two colored men
who live in that village, and later sent
his teeth into the flesh OF several dogs.
Last night the animal made his way 10
this city. and while on West street, be
tween King and Prince. bit three men
spencer Raymond. James Gaddis and
John Walker. BY this Time the west
eln section Of the city had be
come alarmed, and numbers took guns
and went in search of the canine. which
riuded ali pursuit., and up to u o'clock
today was still at large. Considerable
CONSERVATION prevails in West End and
the contiguous section Of the city, some
people becoming so alarmed as to Keep
in the house last night, while others at
work at the depot and neighborhood
were afraid TO 90 to their homes. The
brute. as above stated, has bitten a
number of dogs in West End, which
causes the eravest apprehension. 1t Is
thought by some, however, that the
doc is not suffering from rabies, but
having been shot some time ago white
rabbit hunting has become deranged
and that no serious results will follow
lis bites.

of paving Henry street by the Washing
ton Southern Railroad Company was
begun to-day. and should the weather
permit the force of men will be in

membered that the City Council agreed

A Large Number

OF dyspeptics lack the necessary pow
er to digest solid foods, and as stimu-
lants merely excite and weaken the
stomach, therefore the immense value of
the genuine Johann Hoffs Malt Extract
as nutritious tonic cannot be over-esti-
mated. 1t not only acts as tonic, but
as a nutrient as well, and the most stub
born case of dyspepsia cannot withstand
its wonderful power. Write to Eisner
& Mendelson Co, New York, for a de-
scriptive pamphlet. Look out for imi-
tations. The genuine must have the

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Nov. 16.-At the morn.
ing session Of the Association for the Ad-

the effect OF immigration on the country.
From anSwers sent to various members of
the association il was discovered that the
Jewish Emigration Society was most liheFal
toward the movement. that the Lutheran
Association opposed IL and that the
Catholics, while in a majority, neither
favored nor opposed 1t. The members OF
the Catholic church are, however, becoming
much more interested as the question is die

A number of papers were read at the
afternoon session.

BILLIARD BALLS BAGGEp.

Thieves at Chicago teal 200 Sets
Worth 5000 Per Set.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16-Fifteen thousand
dollars worth Of billiard balls is the novel
plumber that the c. G. Akam mandatory
loses by robbery. Between $50 and 200 sets
were taken. The robbery occurred Satur-
day night while the democratic torohliCht
parade and ratification meeting were in
progress. The huge crowds required the
services of all the police OBJ
tainaole and the Adams were left
practically unguarded. Under the cir
cumstances the thieves had little
difficulty in removing large pane OF glass
from the rear of the Akam Company store,
and passing out valuable boxes of billiard
balls. Only the best balls were taken. Sew
eral men appear to have been implicated
and they seem to have utilized horse and
wagon in carrying out their task. The only
ciew to the perpetrators is in
the arrest OF man to-day
giving the name of William Anderson,
who was captured while trying to sell, for
So, sixteen balls worth 5000 Anderson
claims to be a stranger in Chicago and says
a man with whom he is unRcquainted offered
him $40 to dispose of the balls. The rob-
berry is the largest haul made by thieves in
Chicago for years, aud the police depart
ment is much stirred up over the affair.
