ALMOST TO THE DEATH.
Officer Carpenter Fights viciou,
Bull Dog.


Officer Frank Carpenter of Station had
a narrow escape this morning from serious
injury while attempting to suppress dis
turbance in house on Hawes Court. At
2 o'clock, the officer discovered that row
was in progress in the house occupied
by Nose Paine in the Court. The inmates
were, judging from external appearances,
and some were yelling and bowling at the
top of their voices. y s
Officer Carpenter started into the house
to suppress the row and when he reached
the kitchen the turmoil was at its height.
Seated or staggering about the smoke.
men and three or four white
women, and each one was shrieking
at the rest. A perfect shower OF tea
kettles, stove covers, plates and articles OF
furniture filled the apartment, and each
one of those present seemed to have
deadly grudge against someone else.
AS the officer entered the room the men
were on the point of meeting in a general
'scrap," and urged on by the
women were tangled up in
preliminary grapple in which
wind played the most important part,
but on the appearance OF the officer every
body broke away and gazed blankly at
the blue coat and brass buttons of the
officer. Officer Carpenter promptly started
across the room TO secure Paine, when
suddenly from corner of the room there
emanated streak OF white, and q swiftly
moving body struck square on the officers
chest. II was ferocious bull dog and the
officer realized at once his deadly peril.
Two blows with his night stick caused
the animal to loosen its hold but the OFF,
Ger had no sooner than turned his back
when the angered dog, with the foam of
infuriation dripping from his jaws. sprang
upon him again and fastened his fangs In
in the officers leg.
Then ensued terrific struggle between
man and brute which lasted for several
minutes. The officer banged the dog on
the head with his club, but the
animal clung to his leg with death-like
grip. Then the officer quickly pulled his
revolver and fired two shots into the dog,
one in the back and the other into the
head, and the dog relaxed his grip and
keeled over on his back.
When the officer produced the revolver,
the inmates OF the room promptly smashed
out rear window and effected their
escape. yL sjlI
Two boys who had heard the disturb
ance rushed to the Central Station and
burst into the guard room shouting "mur-
der"
Officer Darling was put in possession Of
the facts, and at once went to the house,
but by that time Officer Carpenter had
secured Paine and one OF the women, and
was bringing them to the station.
Before Paine went to the station he
begged leave to look after his dog, and
was allowed to put the animal to bed
where 1t now lays.
During the fight with the dog the Off

body and his coat was ripped into shreds.

THE FIRST SERMON.
Res. Il. Fay Mills Speaks of Elisha and
the Widows Prayer.

Rev. b. Fay Mills opened the series of
Union revival services at the Pilgrim
Congregational Church on Harrison
street yesterday morning. The church
was crowded, the services at the Roger
Williams Free Baptist Church having
been omitted by special arrangements.
The service was opened with prayer by
Rev. Mr.. Dickson, after which there was
singing by the special choir, under the
direction of Mr.. John Hills of Indian
apolis.
Mr.. Mills then read the fourth chapter
OF III. Kings. He took his text from the
second verse and spoke from the words,
"What Shall Do for Thee?"
Mr.. Mills first spoke of the condition of
the woman who went to Elisha in search
OF aid to relieve her distress. She said
that although her husband had been a
God-fearing man and had spent
his life working for the advancement of
Gods cause on earth ne had left her and
her two sons i'm poverty. She had but a
little oil in the house, an amount that
would be equal to a handful of -four in
the bottom OF barrel.
sidered as prayer. Ii was the only way
in which she was remembered, and her
prayer was successful.
The prophet asked the widow, "What
shall do for thee?" The woman begged
for relief and Elisha told her TO procure
many vessels from her friends and neigh
bors and when they were filled to sell the
oil and to relieve her distress from the
proceeds of the sales.
The woman was practically asked to per-
form miracle. She was compelled to place
her entire dependence in God, but her
faith was sufficient, and when she started
to pour oil from her little store there was
more in the vessel she flied than there
was i'm the one from which the oil was
poured. She continued to ill the vessel
until her sense told her that there was no
more. and then the flow OF oil was stayed
This flow OF oil should teach every one to
90 into room alone with God and the
empty vessels, and to remain until He had
revealed Himself.
During the service an anthem was rem
dered by the regular choir, Mr.. Hills
sang a hymn and the Sunday school
children sang the anthem, "Childrcn Of
the Heavenly King"

THE SAMOAN VISITORS.
Description OF Canoes to Be Seen .
Madison Park.

Description OF Canoes to Be Seen 1t
Madison Park.
By long odds the most remarkable craft
that have ever been seen on these waters
are now afoat on Lake Washington. They
consist of four canoes brought over by the
South Sea Islanders who came IN on the
Umafilla from the Midwinter fair. Two
Of the canoes are from Samoa. and are not
intended for sailing. One of them is about
eighteen feet long, and the other, say
twenty-four. They are cut out. OF solid
logs OF hard wood. and are elegant in
shape and finish. Both of these craft are
so narrow that they require the support of
outriggers TO insure their stability, and
even with this assistance it must be very
difficult to handle them in anything like
rough water. An Eilice island cigar
shaped canoe. much larger than these
craft, is also on the lake. It's main body
is formed from titan log, and its upper
works are made OF lighter and softer
woods. This specimen of naval architect
ure is modelled quite d iferently from either
the Samoan canoes or the Gilbert island
boat which lies beside it.
On most of the Gilberts the only trees
to be found are the cocoanuts and pam
danus. As both of these woods grow with
hollow or spongy center, it is hardly
possible 10 get boards or planks sufficiently
wide to De of any use in the construction
OF a boat or canoe.
The native carpenters seem to have by
dint of great patience gotten partly over
the difficulty, for out of the most INSULT
cent materials they have constructed
canoe. or rather sailing machine. which
makes very rapid progress in the toughest
water, and with great ease, although not
piece in the whole a flair is wider than five
inches or more than four feet long. while
not nail or piece of metal of any kind is
in any wise employed. the whole being
neatly joined and sewed together with the
tibers from the cocoanut husk. This
canoe, the most remarkable of the four
exhibited, was constructed at Latitonea
by the short, coarse-haired people who
form part of this extraordinary company.
Owing to the cold and rainy weather
yesterday, little was attempted at the park
in the way of entertainment, but .sho uld
the weather improve it is likely that the
park will be packed afternoons and even
ings for the short time that it is possible
for the company to remain here. Some of
the girls of the company are very attrac-
tive in appearance, and apparently mod
est and ladylike. Their songs and dances.
peculiar to the islands, are very different
TO anything We have hitherto heard. A
street parade will be given today, if the
weather proves favorable. and the enter
tainments will be held both afternoon and
evening.
