NOVEL WORK FOR DOGS.

In several spike and nail factories
in Greenpoint 4 novel use Is made
of dog power. The dogs work in
treadmills which turn large heavy
iron wheels, which in turn, operate
the bellows of the forges
It is only in the smaller shops
where the spikes and nails are
forged by hand that dog power Is
employed. There are three of them,
all in the same section of Williams
burg,
The largest is Peter Kohlman's
on Lorimer street, near Bedford
avenue Six dogs are in use there,
only one or two working at time
The dogs 90 aboxt their work with
cheerfulness and alacrlty They
are big heavy fellows of mongrel
breed, with a remarkable develop
ment Of muscle, caused by the vig-
orous exercise they get,
The rim Of the wheel which the
dog turns Is more than a foot In
breadth, and II Is roughened on the
inner side and padded with saw
dust to prevent the dogs feet from
becoming sore, On each side of the
broad wheel are two iron cross
pieces which form the spokes.
Within these two sets Of spokes the
dog has room to move freely He
Ia not tied or fastened, and after
he has once been put at work no
further attention Is paid to him un-
til Il Is time for his relief to take
his place. A dog lacking In con
sclentiousness could jump out and
run away,
On each side Of the wheels hub
is a crank one and a half feet long
carrying an iron bar, One of these
bars goes to the lower arm Of bel
lows on one side Of the room, and
the other to another bellows oppo-
site, The cranks are set In opposite
directions, 40 that the fires are
blown In alienation, Further back
in the room there Is another slight
ly smaller wheel connected with but
one forge
Only the larger wheel was In op'
Grafton yesterday II was sufllc
lent, however, TO keep four men
busy, two at each forge The whee
turns slowly, and the dog has only
to keep up fairly brisk walk,

WAR TALK IN MEXICO.
Arsenals Working Day and Night
Mediation Refused.

City of Mexico, via Laredo, Jan,
28. The President and cabinet were
in secret session all day and until a
late hour this evening, and decline
to divulge anything as to the ma
ture of the conference,
The only thing known positively
is that nothing has yet been done
officially as to formulating Mexico's
answer to the last note of Gaute-
mala.
1t is reported that Minister of FL
nance Limanton will leave tomor-
row for Gaudalajara. What is the
object of the trip is not known, un-
less it be to confer with the state
government regarding finances, it
having been popularity reported
here that the different states had
pledged financial aid to the general
government in the event Of neces-
sity for war,
The government arsenal here is
still working day and night.
MEDIATION REFUSED
WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, The Unit
ed States has exhausted all proper
means of preventing a hostile col
lsion between Mexico and Gaute-
mala, and the two countries must
settle their dispute without re-
straint exercised by the United
States, Secretary Gresham's tele-
gram to the Mexican government
representing the hope OF the Presi-
dent that the matter might be set
tied by reference to some friendly
nation has met with a very 1atter-
ing reply from the Mexican govern
ment, but in substance it holds that
the difficulty with Guatemala is one
that, owing to the attitude of that
country, will not admit of arbltra-
tion. The inference is that Gaute-
mala must either promptly submit
to Mexico's terms of a surrender of
her claims to lands in dispute on
the boundary or fight, In this state
of the case nothing can be done by
our government at present to avert
a clash, In case of actual hostile
ties it is recognized here that there
can be but one outcome, in view OF
the vast number Of the Mexican
army, and even if Guatemala should
be joined by other Central Ameri-
can countries the end would be the
same.

Brooklyn Strikers Want Their Places.


BROOKLYN, Jan. 29. Master
Workman Connolly made the offer
on behalf Of the strikers today to
the railroad ofliciafs to fetneA t0
work upon the terms which they
we're working when the men went
out, as was foretold he would do.
President Lewis replied that the
men would be given employment on
these terms where there we're va
cancies for them to I'LL, but that he
would, in no case, discharge new
men to make room for the old. H.
B. Martin, Of Minneapolis, one of
the members of the executive board
Knights Of Labor, has been in con
sultation with Master Workman
Connolly at Mugges Hall during the
day. Mr. Martin declared to an
Associated Press reporter that the
strike is as far from it's termination
as it was several days ago.
A serious riot, in which number
of shots we're fred by policemen,
and in which one man was probably
fatally injured, occurred this after
noon at Nostrand avenue and the
Boulevard, A crowd Of 200 dragged
the motorman and conductor from
the car and were beating them,
when Roundsman Farrell and three
policemen came to the rescue The
police charged, using their clubs
with good effect, and succeeded in
scattering the crowd. A few sec
onds later the mob returned to the
fight and Officer Forbes, who was
on duty in the car, drew his revol-
yer and fred a shot at the strikers.
Several other policemen drew their
guns and opened fire on the mob.
Stones, bricks and other missiles
fell in showers. Several of the
police we're hit and slightly injured.
Michael Milligan,, 81 years Of aye,

Atlanta Exposition Opens With Impos-
ing Ceremonies.
ATLANTA, Sept. 19.-At a. m. the
gates of the Cotton States and Interna-
tional exposition were thrown ajar for
l2O days. Until the bells in the chimes
of the churches toll the knen Of the
parting year, the exhibitors gates will
be open to the world. The opening Ia
the greatest event in the history of the
big show. Half Of the nations of the
earth were represented in the procession
during the day, and the more prominent
speakers Of the country addressed the
multitude that gathered to witness the
formal inaugural exercises.
Preparations for the event have been
in progress at the grounds for sew
eral days. The front of administration
building has been completed and all the
debris has been cleared away. All the
buildings, with the exception Of the
states of Pennsylvania, New York, Illi-
nois and Massachusetts, have been COM
pleted, leaving only some small booths
in course of erection around the grounds.
Nine -tenths Of the exhibits are in place,
and when the buildings were thrown

Court Of Criminal Appeals Says
Prize Fighting la Not
Felony.
Judge Hurt Claims the Act in
y,
the Penal Code Is In
operative.
The Courtroom Was Crowded
With Lawyers, Preachers
and Pugilists.

DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 19.-After two
days consumed in argument Oh the
habeas corpus hearing Of Jesse Clarke,
charged with prize fighting, Judge
Hurt, of the court of criminal appeals,
decided that the act in penal code was
wholly imperative. The court said:
at was who first suggested making
prize fighting felony. | wanted the
state of Texas to take an advanced
stand OH the subject Of prize fighting,
which l regarded as the most brutal of
acts. But my private opinion has
nothing to do with the law. / do not
believe that under the provisions Of our
statutes or the we'll settled rule Of con
struction, this man has violated a law
that has been so plainly written, that he
is responsible for it, and / shall dis
charge him. / will give my reasons
hereafter in writing"
At the close Of his remarks some per
sons applauded, and the court, turning,
said to them sternly: Il will send you
all to Jail" They couldn't, however,
be identified. The courtroom was
crowded with
Lawyers, Preachers and Pugtlists.
The state was represented by its ut
torney general, who said to n reporter
that he has no further proceedings to
take.
The points Of contention by the at
torney general were:
First-That the criminal law making
prize fighting felony and furnishing II
as misdemeanor had precedence over
and repealed the civil law licensing
prize fights.
Second-That the law was introduced
when the laws were codified, and was a
re-enactment and not continued law.
Defendants counsel contended that as
the criminal law went into effect on
Aug. Inst and the license law on Sept.
I, the criminal law was repealed, and
they also contended and cited evidence
to show new law should have been
added to the statutes by the codifiers
and approved by the legislatures.

Hungry Pike.

One Of my sons, aged Is, went with
three other boys to bathe In 1nglemere
pond, near the Ascot race course. He
walked into the water to about the
depth of four feet, when he spread out
his hands to attempt to swim.
At that instant a large fish came up
and took his whole hand into its mouth.
but finding itself unable to swallow it
relinquished it's hold, and the boy, turn.
ing round, prepared for hasty retreat.
His companions, who saw the fish,
scrambled out Of the pond as fast as
possible
My son had scarcely turned around
before the fish came up behind him, and
seizing his other hand crosswise inf1ict-
cd some very deep wounds on the back
Of It, The boy raised hts free hand,
which was still bleeding, and struck the
great fish hard blow on tho head,
when IL disappeared. The other boys as
sisted my son to dress, bound up his
hand with their handkerchiefs and
brought him home.
We took him to the surgeon, who
dressed seven wounds In one hand, and
so great was the pain the next day that
the lad tainted twice. The little finger
was bitten through the nail, and it was
more than six weeks before it was we'll.
The nail came of, and the scar remains
to this day.-Fishing.

NOT SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE.

Believed the Grand Jury VIII Release
Mrs. Perkins.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. l9.-The indica-
tions are that Mrs. Lora Perkins, who
stands accused of the murder of Mrs
Lola Hawkins, will not be held for trial.
So far as can be learned from observa-
ton and desultory conversation with GER
tain of the witnesses who have been
called into grand jury room, the i'm
preston prevails that the jury is of the
opinion that not sufficient evidence to
convict could be adduced.
Realizing this, and not caring to put
the county to the expense of lengthy
trial, it is probable Mrs. Perkins will be
discharged from custody in the very
near future.
