Strange Result of Mad Dogs Bite Fifteen
Years Ago.
PIrTsBURa. Pa, Aug 8.-Fifteen years ago
this month, while playing on the street, John
Allies was bounced upon by a big dog.
Before he could escape the dog tore piece
out of his left leg just above the knee. The
boy was laid up several days with the wound,
but it healed up finally and nothing
more was thought of it until year
became sick. As the day wore on he became
excitable and feverish, but could not bear the
sight of water. At 4 o'clock, the hour Of toe
day when he had been bitten a year before, he
was seized with terrible spasm. Four strong
men were required to hold him, while he
writhed and barked like dog and foamed at
the mouth.
After his strength had been exhausted he be-
came unconscious and was put to bed When
he awoke the trouble was gone. He was weak
and exhausted. but perfectly rational. The day
from the moment when he was seized with the
first attack was blank TO him and he could not
believe the stories they told of his actions. In
day or two he was as well rs ever.
Every year afterwsrd at the same time Of the
year, at the same hour. he has suffered q return
OF the frightful malady, and each time he has
fully recovered within a few DAYS. As he grew
to manhood the attacks became more violent
and required more force to control him,
but otherwise there was no change. He il now
undergoing the fortunes of his fourteenth attack
and twelve strong men are hardly able to control
him as he writhed in awful contortions produced
by the malady. Allies il a member Of the real
estate and insurance firm Of that name on 4th
avenue. He is twenty seven years of age.

Latest Gossip 1t the Focus Of All Reports
in New York.
Special dispatch 10 The Evening Star
New YORK, Aug. 8.-The republicans start in
the second week Of the campaign quite encour-
aged. Notwithstanding the ugly talk which
Piatt and Others INDUCED in last. Some sub
stantial progress has been made In getting
together and in getting the work of the campaign
under way. Committee work Is well divided up
and with Payne, Campbell and Huston in charge Of
Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin: Fesseden in
charge Of New England, and Sutherland, Fas-
sett, Garrison and Reid in charge Of New York,
they feel that the situation il shaping up well.
Chairman Carter and Secretary McComas are
at headquarters at work today, while neither
Harrity, Dickinson, Smalley or Whitney put in
appearance at the Democratic headquarters.
Despite Platt's unpleasant talk he has had
interviews with Reid, has visited republican
headquarters and had consultation with prom
inent republicans yesterday
New York democrats are complaining yiRor-
ously about Mr.. Dickinson's selection for the
chairmanship Of the executive committee. They
say that no three men could be found more nm
satisfactory to Hill than Dickinson, Whitney
and Harrity, whose course at Chicago IL not yet
forgotten by Hill people.
Platts interest in the republican situation il
accounted for by the discovery that the republi-
cans have better chance of electing Q Senator
to succeed Mr.. Hiscock than was supposed
month ago.

REBELS DISCONNECTED,
The Government in Honduras Controls the
Situation.

The Government in Honduras Controls the
Situation.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. S.--The steamship City
Of Dallas arrived yesterday evening with the
latest intelligence Of the revolution in Spanish
Honduras. 1t appears that the government
once more has the upper hand and that Leiva
and his cabinet will remain in control. He has
chartered the steamship Spazetta, New Or
leans vessel, and has converted it into war
ship, loading the ship with troops. 1t departed
recently from Puerto Cortez to attack Ceiba-
1t Ii reported that a pitched battle was
fought at Ceiba between the resident revolu-
tiOnists and the government troops, in which
the latter we're victorious The vessel is said To
have contributed materially to the result by
bombarding the revolutionists with some
light ordnance with which it had been
armed. The bombardment dislodged the
rebels and they fed in disorder to the forests.
The government is reported to have been
reinforced by the addition Of q band of
insurgents who deserted Nuia and marched
into Puerto Cortez. The commander of this
band disclosed the movements Of the revolu-
tionists. They intended to secretly march into
Cayayagua on August and capture the city
In the event Of success they would lombard
and destroy all the public buildings and Leiva's
residence, and in addition empty the Golfers Of
the treasury and burn all important papers they
could lay hands on.
Spies were in communication with Nuila
daily and the plan was well laid and would
have overthrow the government had it not
been for the information received. The news
was dis patched to Leiva and others and large
force is now guarding the capital.

FIREMEN RESPONDED SLOWLY.

Baltimore Had . Blaze Causing o2O0, 900
Loss This Morning.
BALTIMORE, Aug. s.-One Of the most dis
astrous and sensational morning fires that this
city has seen for several years broke out this
morning in John Chatterton 4 Co. g furniture
factory. No. IS South Frederick street.
For some reason the alarm was delayed until
the fire was well under way. The fire telegraph
system was out Of order, and the information
OF the fire was borne to the department by o
policeman after several failures to send in the
signal from the boxes. When the firemen ar
rived the building was q mass Of seething
flames
Lines Of hose were soon in place and streams
directed on the building from the front and
rear. Owing to the intense heat and the dense
smoke the fremen were unable to get at the
flames effectively. The intense heat set fire to
the roof Of Is South Frederick street, three
story brick building. occupied by Green q Co. as
the Hope brass works, and soon forced its way
into the third story, which was also in q few
minutes q mass Of flames. The roof of No. IL,
. three-story brick building, occupied by OPP
penheimer as a solder factory and warehouse,
also caught fire, but the flames were confined
to the upper story.
Fleischman 4 Co.'S building. No. II, on the
north, three-story building, was also licked
by the flames, and Schlegel's Orchestrian Hall,
Nos. Q, and 5, on the north. was also threat
ened at times.
At o'clock the indications pointed to dis
astrous confagration, and it looked as if the
entire block in which the fire was located
would 60.
At about 9:15 the fire in the Chstterton build
ing began to subside, the infammable material
stored in it having burned itself, out and the
heat grew less intense. From that time on the
flames were gradually brought under control,
and the firemen were masters of the situation.
The books and papers Of John Chatterton
Co. were in their two safes in the office on the
second floor. The contents of the large safe
are supposed to be intact In a smaller one are
some valuable records and papers. This safe is
supposed to be open.
One Of the clerks started to close it, but was
prevented from doing SO by the dense smoke.
In the building about $50, 900 worth OF fur
niture was stored. This will prove q total loss.
The old Bijou Theater on the opposite side Of
the street caught fire from the intense heat.
The hose was turned Tn it several times and it
was saved. II belongs to the Cuttings estate.
