M4D DOG SCARE.
The People OF Cumberland Given a Mate
rial Fright-The Severe Weather

MCRAES, VA, Feb. 2S.-Special.-Aoout
two weeks ago a dog. belonging to Mr..
William c. Corsen. went mad and lit
some cattle and many other dogs around
here. Fortunately the animal was shot
before he bit any person. Since tnen'
many dogs ave shown signs or hydro
phobia, and were shot at once by their
owners. Six or eight were killed In one
day at HoIman's mill. This rad dog
fever has prevailed in this county for the
past eight months. Many dogs. COWS,
hogs and sheep have been bitten. II Is
now feared that some Of the owners
were not careful 10 kill and burn the
animals that were injured by the dogs.
which went mad last summer.
The severely cold m rainy weather
has retarded work Of all kinds In this
vicinity. Nothing has been done since
Christmas by either the farmers or
timber men. Laborers can Tot be found
who are willing TO work out In rain and
snow. Many cannot get their tobacco TO
market, as It is almost death TO teams
10 pull such muddy roads.
A few energetic teachers have pushed
their work Notwithstanding the cold, and
consequently we have some schools that
will close about the LIST OF March.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.--The news OF

although all his friends knew that his adj
vanced age augured his decease within no
very great period Of time. Senator stan

was very feeble, and seemingly on the
verge Of dissolution he called on Presi-
dent Cleveland at that time, and number
Of Congressman who saw him at the White
House, sOrrowfully predicted That the end
was not far of.
Notwithstanding his condition his death
at this time was unexpected and caused
something Of a shock 20 those who knew
him. Senator Dolph, Of Oregon, is the
only member Of Congress from the Pacific
coast in town. He said this afternoon il
would be impossible for congressional
committee 20 reach PalO Alto In time for
the funeral and ne thought Vice-President
Stevenson would designate Senator Mitch
ell and such other Senators who are now

half OF the Senate. 10 Is probable that this
action will be followed by Speaker Crisp
when he learns OF Senator Stanford S
