around the corner of Eighty-frst street
into Central park west late one Sunday
night, says the New York Sun, two
fresh wounds on his back indicated that
his friendly advances had been re-
pulsed. Somebody had struck or
kicked him and his body was quivering
with pain. He was unattached, hun
CRY, and weak, but he had hopes.
A boy came down the street and
made strike at him with stick. The
dog drew back into the doorway of an
apartment house and stood there
thinking it over. He shifted the air
weakly and found in it no suggestion
of food. Then, with little whine, he
nursed his wounds. A man came out
of the door, and finding q scraggy-.
looking cur blocking his way, kicked
him to one side and walked up town.
The dog picked himself up. Perhaps
he would have better luck next time,
so he just loafed around. He attempt
ed to tag behind a passerby as if he be-
longed and just as he was regaining
his Self-reSpect the man turned
around and said: sect out, you
cur" The dog stopped short. He
watched the man until he turned
down a side street. Then the dog
walked back to his corner still hoping.
When a young woman with her escort
passed him he was wise dog and he
got up little appealing bark. The
young woman bent over and said:
''Why, you poor, lonesome little dog"
And when she patted him on the head
his stubby little tail waggled hard and
his eyes frightened. This was the
sympathy he had been looking for. He
fell in behind and followed his newly
acquired friends to an apartment house
half dozen blocks up the street. Sew
eral times the woman turned around
and addressed a remark to him, and
she called him ''doggie' because she
hadn't known him long enough to give
him a name. She probably would at
tend to that after she had fed him. As
his two friends entered the apartment
house they evidently forgot him, for
the door was closed in his face. They
would remember him when he barked,
so he made a noise. Then he whined
little and waited.
AN open Engl1Sh avenue car was COM
ing down grade at a rapid pace, and
party of picnickers in it were singing.
The dog walked out to the curb and
watched the well-hghted car approach.
Possibly the lights and the noise dazed
him as he was crossing the track. As
the car bowled by there was u wild
kiyi under the horses hoofs and the
wheels rolled over something. The
conductor went back to investigate.
''Only dog" he said, as he rang to go
ahead, land he's dead for fair. What
I don't understand is why, with the
whole street free, he should permit
himself to be run over

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Frank O'Connor Bangs Conductor
Mcfarland in the Eye.
Trouble Over "Fares" the Cause-Case Con
tinusd Till This Merniag.

A case OF assault and battery was tried
before Recorder Goddard. Saturday after
noon, about o'clock. The complainant
was Will Mcfarland. conductor on the
Electric Road, and the defendant, Franz
OCounor, junk dealer.
The beginning of the trouble dates from
week before last, when O'Connor accused
Mcfarland of knocking down fares or
the Electric car, of which Mcfarland wal
conductor. This accusation on the part OF
O'Connor was made in the presence
of Col. d. G. Staples and was quickly de.
MED by the conductor. Saturday, the noon
car out of Augusta was quite well loaded,
and when on Grove street, about opposite
the Sturgis residence, O'Connor assaulted
Conductor Mcfarland.
1t seems that several words were ex-
changed between O'Connor and Mcfarland
on this car before the assault. O'Connor
had seated himself on the same seat with
Col. II. G. Staples, near the rear of the
car, and when the conductor came along
he hit him twice in the face, one blow
being on the right eye. Mcfarland had
hold of one of the supporting pieces Of
the roof with his left hand, while in the
right he was holding money. When struck
it caused him to whirl out, nearly falling to
the ground, the blows being very heavy but
he held on and the car was stopped.
All this took place in a few seconds.
Joseph Williamson, Jr., who was on board
took hold of O'Connor and with the assist
ance of several others had him under con-
troll. O'Connor kicked at Mcfarland
several times, and a man who saw it says
that he reached him once. The affair
caused great commotiou on the car, which
was run out to the Grove street crossing
where the up car was met. Upon this was
James Wade who was asked by Col. Staples
if an officer was at hand. Wade said that he
would take care of O'Connor and led him
away.
Mcfarland entered complaint, and, Sat-
urday afternoon, both appeared before Re-
corder Goddard, Attorney Little appearing as
counsel for the defendant. O'Connor &C.
knowled the assault and expressed his will
ingness to pay all costs for it, but said he
knew Mcfarland was beating the road by
not ringing in fares. He stated that he had
been trusted for three trips and that when
he paid, no fares were rung in, neither was
this done at the time Of his being trusted.
Col. Staples stated the case as he saw it.
Near the close of the testimony 0 Conner
stated that Mcfarland hit him first. The
case not being fully clear and the counsel
wishing little time, continuance was
granted till today at A. M. .,

Said prominent Augusta man Saturday

turned into shoe factory. The fine 81,
story structure would make most excellen
quarters, having good elevator in it and il
very conveniently located, both for rail-
road and steamboat facilities.
at being centrally located in Augusts
would be another advantage and the build.
ing 10 we'll made Of brick, and abou. thu
right size for large shoe factory. I see
no reason why it would not pay as well t.
have factory in Augusta - in Auburn Of
other places 10 the State. ........,s
1T seems to me that the board Of trade
might negotiate the establishing of such ar
industry in the city. Augusta being sta
toned near the center Of the State would
be another help to a business Of
this kind. . No. better privilege for
shipping, either by rail or boat
could be found anywhere. Within two
rods of the building is the Maine Central
Railroad, and the wharf of the Kennebec
Boston Steamboat Co. is only about eigh,
rol away.
This State being supplied with many
large tanneries, and Astounding in tanning
material would seem to be another indication
that such factory as 10 proposed would be
furnished with leather at low cost. The
kind of shoes manufactured might make
some difference regarding the use of home
material. +s4sa. 49,
1.-THE building can be purchased at a
low figure and l believe q shoe fac
tory would pay in this city. 1t would
be worthy Of investigation by the board
of trade at any rate. The building now
has engines and boilers in it and the ex-
pense of fitting up shoe-making business
there would be small matter. Another
thing, good reliable help could be procured,
which would be glad to labor steadily, with
out striking or trouble. Such a business
would bring large amount of money
to the city, would bonn the Maine Capital
in which we take pride, AMI we'll we may
for it is developing every year. What q
lively aspect it would make to see that
great edihce turned into shoe factory this
fall, the wheels spinning, shoes being made
DO the hundreds, workers filing in and out
daily.
at would be a great advertisement for
this place. Call it the Augusta Shoe Fac
tory and have the whole side of the build
ing lettered to that effect. see no reason
why such scheme shouldn't materialize.'
