fury that all shipping was suspended,
even the New York Doat not daring 10

NORTH END NEWS.

The trouble between the owners of land
on Ruggles street and the city may be
interesting enough for the parties imme-
diately concerned, but Others claim that
in the interest of the public safety 1t
ought to be ended. The street, or rather
the northern part OF 1t, is after every bad
rain storm badly washed out and sone-
times horse and wagon is apt to go IN
TO the hole thus made, and perhaps some
person may lose his life or suffer severe
injury.
There are no lights put around wash
outs on the part of the street referred to,
as the street not being accepted Dy the
city as ~ public highways, the latter Of
course disc aims all responsibility for its
condition. AS SOME one woufd probably
be called upon to pay for any damage
that might result from en- accident there,
residents of other streets in the neighbor-
hood claim that the abutting owners
would be required to settle for the same.
Andrew Mcdonald of West Park street,
while walking along Gladstone avenue
yesterday afternoon was attacked by a
large shepherd dog, owned by Daniel
Slavin. The dog seized hold OF McDon-
AIDS right leg and his teeth went through
the latter's clothing and hung on in an
unpleasant manner Tor quite while, but
Mcdonald succeeded after a time in free
ing himself. lie then notified dog officer
Potter, who interviewed Slavin and the
latter Immediately consented to having
the animal shot and this was done.
Gilbert Bailey, aged years, who re-
sides at 5i Marietta street, fell from one OF
&. II. Darling's wagons about o o'clock
last evening and received bad cuts on his
head. He was driving along Charles street
at the time. DIR. Black was called to dress
the injured mans wounds.
Little Margaret Mclaughlin, who lives
ut 33 Monticello street, fell from the top

noon and striking against an old sink
which lay near the steps, cut cash four
inches long In her side. DIR. Black dress

One of'the most enjoyable social events
