THE REQUEST UNHEEDED,
And the Life of DR.. Beothby's Dog Was
Spared.

The death of DIR. Boothby, a former
well known Portland dentist, was record
ed in the PRESS the other day, together
with sketch of his life. His burial at
Maiden, Mass, has brought to light an
eccentrIcity of the doctors that will be
read with interest.
DIR. Boothby was the possessor of a
very intelligent black and tan dog, which
had been his constant companion for
many years, and was one of the family
just as truly as though he were a child,
and he had his place at the table and his
bed in the doctors sleeping apartment,
where the faithful canine could be found
after the doctor had retired, sleeping
with one eye open, carefully guarding
his master and his property.
So attached had the doctor become to
his pet that he had often said that should
he die suddenly he wanted to have the
dog killed as humanely as possible with
out pain and buried in the same casket.
On Wednesday evening the doctor died
suddenly, and as a, result his wife made
every preparation to observe to the letter
his very last request.
On Friday afternoon, after the funeral,
which was held at o'clock at the late
home at 11S Salem street, Maiden, Mr..
Hathaway, one of the officers of the S. p.
G. A., went to Maiden and was given the
facts in the case and he went to the Nal
den police station, and Chief L. N. Pitcher
loaned the man revolver, the property
of Patrolman Daniel Sweeney, with which
to do the deed and prepare the body of a
faithful dog for that honored place in the
casket with his master, from whom he
had never been separated in life, and now
was destined not. to be separated by
death.
The agent went to the house, but the
lady said she had kept the dog in the
house until O clock, and that he walked
up and looked her in the face and seemed
to ask for his life, and she, already over
come with grief at losing her life's part
ner, could not get her heart in condition
to take the life of so faithful dog, when
he was all she had to remind her of the
departed.
The dog was turned out of doors and
he ran up and down the street. barking
with joy, and every indication seemed to
show that he realized his miraculous de-
liverance from death.
The body of DIR. Boothby was inferred
at Saco, Saturday, but the dog is still
alive in Maiden, and the doctors request
was nnheeded.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Mr.. Geo. s. Hunts Horses Became
Uncomfortable.

The Cause a Broken Pole-Mrs. Hunt,
Mrs. w. e. Gibbs and the Coachman
Injured-Nrs. Gibbs Carried to the
Maine General.
Yesterday morning Mrs. W. E. Gibbs
wife of Rev. W. E. Gibbs of Lawrence,
Mass, a former pastor of Congress
Square church in this city-came up
from Diamond Island where she has
been visiting and went out to Huntcliffe-
on-the-Cape to visit Mrs. George S.
Hunt. Mrs. Hunt asked her if she
would not like to take drive about the
Cape, and Mrs. Gibbs said she should
be delighted to go as it was long time
since she had taken the drive. The la
dies entered the family double carriage,
drawn by pair of high spirited, but al
ways well behaved horses, driven by
John d. Casey, the family coachman.
Everything proceeded well for long
time. just after the carriage entered
Delano Park, and was descending little
hill, the harness attached to the end of
the pole, known as the pole strap, sud-
denly broke, letting the end of the pole
down and hitting against the legs of the
horses. The coachman, with great pres
ence of mind and bravery, wound the
reins around his wrists, spoke soothing
ly to the animals and tried to pull them
in. But the dangling pole was too
much for them and they started on the
run. In a few moments the end of the
pole struck the ground and the pole
broke off short not far from the car
riage.
The frightened horses then started of
at an even faster pace, and the ladies
decided to jump as suggested by the
coachman. Mrs Hunt was badly
bruised and complained of her back.
Mrs. Gibbs struck her head on a stone
and cut bad cash that penetrated the
scalp way to the bone. The whiffletree
then broke and the horses were freed
| from the carriage at the same time
throwing the coachman out, who man.
aged to free himself from the reins after
he had been dragged some distance.
The horses proceeded on about two or
three hundred feet when they ran into a
tree which they uprooted and which
whirling in front of them brought them
down so that they were caught and Sc.
cured.
Where the ladies jumped was a spot
close by the Millett cottage, occupied by
Mr.. George M. Fernald, the letter car
rier. The ladies were taken into the
cottage and Mr.. Hunts family notified.
DR.. Weeks was quickly present as vel
as the family. He did not find any
broken bones and trusts that Mrs. Hunt
will not suffer any serious consequences
from her fall. Mrs. Gibbs was uncon.
scious for long time, but after careful
examination the doctor could not find
any fractureiof the skull and hopes tc
see hel come round all right shortly,
The coachman was also badly bruised
and his back sprained. Rich's ambu
lance was telephoned for, and during
the afternoon Mrs. Hunt was removed to
her summer residence, and Mrs. Gibbs
was taken to the Maine General Hospi
| tai. The coachman declined the services
of the ambulance, and with great pluck
although at the cost of much suffering,
rode home to the city in a buggy last
night.

During the passage of the procession

were Uttered in consequence from one
end to to the other. There is no sense in
permitting such a thing.

The elevators in the woman's building

the cable broke and tongue of electric
flame nearly two feet long, shot from

persons in the elevator, Councilman
