often among those brought in are found
pet dogs of some fancy breed. These inva-
riably have some bright-colored ribbon
around their necks, but no badge, and are
kept confined in the yard, instead of being
thrown into the cages with the common
ours. Experience has taught us that such
dogs are always redeemed, if not by their
owners, by some one else who knows q
good thing when he sees it.
Now, as to the method of killing the
dogs, it is simple and done in the most
humane manner possible. The dogs are
lassoed in the cages one at "a time by nv
assistant and then led out and tied to q
post in the rear of the yard and shot.
Practice has made the eXecutioner an un-
erring maTksman. So it is a rare occur.
renee when the first shot fails to cause
instant death. The dead animals are
quickly removed by contractors, who are

iZing purposes.
The present plan of killing is a great
improvement on that pFacticed some wears
ago, when the victim was turned Loose I'm
a small yard, partitioned off by an iron
lattice, and fired at until dead Owing to
the obstruction caused by the lattice and
and the constant motion OF the animal.
especially after the first shot, the plan was
often a prolonged operation.
-.
Compared with the methods adopted in
other cities for disposing of outlaw dogs,
that practiced here has the advantage both
in dispatch and from humane standpoint.
In Jersey City, for instance, the killing is
effected by drowning, which, 20 say the
least, is not more humane than hanging
would be, to say nothing of the accidents
that are liable to occur. Why, not long ago
In Jersey City a cage containing thirty
dogs was being lowered into the dock, and
IN their struggles for freedom the dogs
broke some of the bars and escaped. This
necessltated recapUuring and re-execution,

suffocation by asphyxiation, is a decided
improvement on drowning, but then even
this could be greatly improved on''

plan he would suggest as a substitute

streets without the regulatonlicens appen-

Beginning on the above date, by virtue OF
law, the wheels Of the dog-catcher' s wagon
will be put in motion, and from then on,
with its two stalwart colored attendants,
tt win be seen hurrying hither and thither in
search Of unfortunate ours and their far
removed, but more fortunate fancy-bred
cousins, whose owners have not taken the
precaution 10 provide them with the regu-

the rear OF the enclosure.
HOW THE DOGS ARE KILLED.
The manner in which the CANNES brought
70 the pound are disposed OF is best
explained in the language OF Mr Einstein,
who has by close study made the taking
Off Of dogs one OF the fine arts.
'Of course, you know" he said, THAT
the legal execution OF dogs brought here
begins on the first day OF August and is
continued every day, excepting Tuesdays,
70 the end OF the season. The reason that
thete are no executions on Tuesday is
that the law requires that dogs impounded
shall be beld two days, and as there are
10 wagon raids made on Sunday there
pre- no dogs impounded whose term of
incarceration, before the death penalty is
executed, would expire on Tuesday.
AT present as you may see, there
are only one or two animals in the cages,
And these are brought here at the request
Of their owners, who for some reason
wish 10 be rid of them.
After the first of August, when the
season fairly opens, the daily catch aver
ages about forty, and very often q great

Interest in Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Owing to
the unusual conditions prevailing in
number of the states, and the uncer-
tainty regarding the outcome, intense
interest existed at the capital on the
results of the elections. Particularly
was this the case with respect to the
elections In New York, Kentucky,
Maryland, New Jersey and Ohio, and
the returns from these states We're
awaited with the greatest interest.
Great crowds gathered in front of the
newspaper Offices tonight and re-
manned until the returns showed def
mite results at the storm centers. 9th
ers, more fortunate, visited various
social and political clubs. where special
arrangements had been made for OBJ
tanning the latest information.
President Cleveland did not make
his appearance at the White House
at all today. but remained at his coun-
try home at Woodley. Private Secre-
tary Thurber was on hand at the exc
cutive mansion, however. du9ing the

COLUMBUS, O.. Nov 5.-Since 10
o'clock the Republican state commit

years vote they are comparing re-
turns. There are some at headquarters
who say that The returns viii show a
Republican plurality almost equal to
that of last year, 137, 000-the high
water mark. The Republican state
committee saw fit to make a conser-
vative statement to those wishing TO
bet on over 100000. Chairman Kurtz
gave out the Following:
Returns received at 10 o'clock indi-
cate that the Republicans have carried
the state by a plurality not less than
that given two years ago and elected

the headquarters go higher Chair

4 FISHERIES QUESTION.

SANDUSKY. o., Nov. 5.-The Cam
adam government is again after
American fishermen. The revenue
cruiser Petrol. Captain Dunn In COM
frand. seized a large amount of NETS
and fish belonging to Sandusky fisher
men. Fifteen steamers and several
hundred men were engaged in fishing
out of this port and in the morning
the vessels left for the fishing grounds.
During the afternoon the Petrol bore
down on the American steamers and
for several miles chased them. I'm
able to overtake them. the Petrol re-
turned and cOnfiscdted the nets and
fish and left for Rondeau. The seized
property was valued at several hum
dred dollars and belonged TO the steaun-
ers Dash and Puritan. 1t is believed
here that the Petrol was justified in
confiscating the nets. as it is presumed
that they were over the Canadian line
