DOG ArTAcks POLICE oEFIcER.

While Officer Hope of the Dixwell
avenue precinct was patrolling his beat
on West Chapel street, opposite his
home, early yesterday morning, he was
set upon by a large, ferocious bull dog,
which does not belong in that locality
but was prowling down the street. The
officer used his club with some effect,
but failing to turn the animal away he
had about made up his mind to resort
to his trusty revolver when lucky
blow staggered the brute. In an in
stant the plucky officer grabbed the
dog by the back of the neck and hur-
riedly carried him to a wood shed in
his yard, where he was locked up.
officer Hope does not want another
such an opponent. but he wishes it
stated that the owner can secure the
dog by applying to him. The dog is ap-
parently d valuable one and the officer
has no doubt but that he is one of those
which was turned loose in Derby dur
ing the recent raid at the dog fight
in that place and that the animal was
making his way home.

Thinks She Was Poisoned.

New Brighton, S. l., March 27r-The
friends of Mrs. f. o. Driscoll, wife OF
superintendent of the mail carriers of
the New York post Office, who lives at
West New Brighton, We're surprised this
morning to hear of a report that Mrs.
Driscoll had made complaint to Jus
tice of the Peace Acker that an attempt
had been made to poison her.
Justice Acker said thas morning that
he had not issued warrants for the
arrest of anybody in connection with
the case, and that no formal complaint
had been made to him by Mrs. Driscoll.
The justice admitted, however, that
Mrs. Driscoll called at his office yester-
day and had a consultation with him.
He refused to divulge the details of the
interview, but intimated that it was re-
garding Mrs. Driscolfs domestic trou
bles. Justice Acker denied that he had
conferred with District Attorney Pin
ney in relation to the case.
DR.. Gray B. Sullivan, who keeps a
drug store at 40 Castleton avenue, West
New Brighton, said to-day that Mrs.
Driscoll came to his store on Monday
afternoon last with some mutton broth
of which she and her four-year-old
daughter May had eaten at dinner. She
told DR.. Sullivan that she and the child
had become drowsy soon after partak-
ing of the broth and had been seized
with violent pains in the stomach. Mrs.
Driscoll also said that she suspected
there was poison in the broth, and that
she gave some of it to a pet dog. The
dog died in less than fifteen minutes af-
ter swallowing the broth.
DR.. Sullivan said that the broth was
sent to DR.. Walter L. Scheele, chemi-
cal expert of New York, and that DR..
Scheele had reported that he found
three-quarters of a grain of morphine
in it,

The Cuban Revolution.

Havana, March 27.-Captain General
Weyler has issued an order declaring
that, ''inasmuch as the rebels are elud-
ing engagements with the government
troops and are committing arson and
other crimes, such bands will hereafter
be regarded as bandits and treated in
accordance with the last DEGREES relat-
ing to such persons"
The news received from the western
province (Pinar del Rio) is meagre
Several columns of government troops
are pursuing Maceo and other rebel
leaders, who are said to be moving
westward. The insurgents have at
tackled the fort at Pinar del Rio City
and are destroying great deal Of prop
erty. The government troops have
been ordered to prevent the return OF
Maceo into the Havana Province.
The government troops report the
capture of an insurgent camp in the
vicinity of Los Palos, near the line div
iding the Provinces of Havana and
Mantanzas, together with a number of
cattle, a medicine chest and a quantity
of provisions, machetes, etc. The official
report of the affair says: 1.-THE enemy
had many losses, leaving in our hands
ten dead. The government troops had
none killed and only a few wounded"
General Pando, in command of the
Second Army Corps, have moved his
headquarters from Santa Clara, an in

VEDDED.

NorwalS, March 27.-At o'clock last
night A. B. Sherwood, aged eighty. of
Bridgeport, and Miss Emma Burr.
Fairfield lady, of fifty-two, were mar
ried at the formers home by the Rev.
DR.. Russell This is the groom's third
marriage. His first wedding occurred
fifty years ago. He was married to
Miss Bostwick three years ago, but his
relatives were so strongly opposed that
the couple separated. The groom is
worth $250,000 He says he wants a
wife for companys sake, and to take
care oe him. He gave DR.. Russell a
marriage fee of 81 900.
Mr.. Sherwood comes of a family eel
ebrated for the longevity of it's MEM
bers. His father lived to be ninety
four years old. He has a brother,
Joseph, and sister, Laura, living, one
of whom is eighty-seven years old and
the other eighty-eight.
The match was one of affection pure
ly. The bride refused to permit her
husband to make a contract which
would have given her large part of
his fortune in the event of his death.
She will receive simply her dover right.
Even that will be comfortable sum,
or one-third of fortune reputed to
amount to $3.50, 600.

was refused Lee went over to the enemy
and gave them such information as he
had gained in the American service.
General Howe did not disclose the
source of this information and took the
papers home to his house in Somerset,
where they were found after eighty
years. They are in Lees own hand
writing and are now in New York.
Fac SMILES are in the Yale university
library. In these papers Lee forsakes
the American cause and recommends
an expedition to Chesapeake Bay.
He was finally exchanged for the
British general, Prescott, and Joined the
American army at Valley Forge Why
he came back is a problem, probably
because he had been reduced to insig-
nificance in the British camp and
wanted to try his luck again with the
Americans.
Professor Fiske then described the
conduct of General Lee at Monmouth
and the subsequent court martial. He
died October 2, 1882, and in his will he
requested that he be buried not within
a mile of a church, as he said he had
kept so much bad company in his life
that he didn't want to in the next.
Professor Fiske said that General
Charles Lee was in no way related to
the illustrious Lee family in Virginia.

Publicly Whipped by women.

Bertrand, Neb,, March 27.-Excite-
ment ran high here yesterday on ac-
count of the whipping of Fl. II. Wiley
a former justice of the peace, and a
man with a large family, who on We'd
nesday, it is charged made proposals
to the seven-year- old daughter of A. M.
Hill of Bertrand. Wiley was ordered
to leave town, and while preparing to
do so yesterday was arrested by Con-
stable Clark Clayton on a warrant
sworn out by the girls mother. A
number of women, led by the mother OF
the girl, covered the prisoner with re-
volver at p. M, and after tying his
hands and placing strap about his
neck marched him out in front of the
city hail. There three women at a
time thrashed him with black snake
whips until he was dripping with blood.
Constable Sandstrom ordered them to
stop. The whipping took place in full
view of the prisoners home, and, while
he received little pity, public sympathy
was touched by the cries of his chill
dren and wife. He left last night for
Iowa.

WILL STUDY PLANT LIFE
LECTURES VILE BE LISTENED no
BY PRIMARY TEACHERS.

Committee on Finance Makes a Report
Board of Health Makes IA Recommends
tion Which is Adopted-Eaton school to
be eRemodeled-Money Appropriated.
The board of education has voted to
give the primary teachers chance to
hear something of plant life, and Miss
Annette Armes of Boston has been en-
gagged to deliver a series of lectures.
The first of the talks will be given at
the Hillhouse high school at 3:45 p. m.
on Monday, April 6. They will be con-
tinued through the week. In order
that there shall be full attendance
upon the lectures the board voted that
the teachers, for whose benefit the
course is arranged, dismiss their schools
at o'clock. 1t was voted to allow $4o
to defray the expenses of the course.
Miss Armes is one of the best known
educators along the line of primary
work in New England, and Superinten-
dent Kendall is expecting good results
from her visit to this city.
A communication was received from
Health officer Wright asking that the
rule applying to pupils who have been
exposed to contagious diseases be eX-
tended so as to apply to teachers in the
schools and to all other employees. The
request was granted and the recon-
mendation adopted.
The finance committee submitted the
following report of moneys expended
for permanent improvements from FEB
ruary IA to March IA: Boardman Man

S26.42; Zunder school, s1,95725; Strong
school, $432; total, $2,41567,
The balance available on March IA
was $129 1926
The ordinary expenditures for the
month We're $30,904.2S.
One of the problems that has con-
fronted the board for several years was
that of providing for the repair. alter
alton and renovation of the different
school buildings so as to meet the re-
ouirements of modern methods and the
constantly increasing number OF pupils.
1t was finally decided that one building
be altered each year, and that Eaton
school be the first to be renovated. In
accordance with the vote plans have
been made at ssle instance of the build
ing committee and bids for the work
will be asked as soon as the specifica-
tions are completed. Bids will be ad-
vertised for
The vote as passed last evening con-
templates an improvement in the heat
ing and ventilating facilities, still main
taing the sixteen class rooms and rec
itation rooms.
The entrance will be so altered so as
to give kindergarten room and three
rooms for the study of the domestic
sciences, if required. A small addition
will also be added to give room for
the principal on the first floor and
teachers room on the second. The al
teration as contemplated will make the
building one of the most modern in the
city.
The board appropriated $4,000 to

Pond viii Verdict Set Aside.

Hartford March 27.-Judge Thayer
to-day decided the motion of the ap-
pellees in the Pond will case in their
favor. He sets aside the jurys finding
on the grounds claimed that the ver-
dict was not in accordance with the
evidence. He spoke briefly upon the
subject, saying that it was evident the
verdict was against the evidence pro-
duced in court, and that the jury We're
prejudiced and biased in making their
verdict, or misunderstood the law. The
verdict was, in fact. directly against
the instructions of the court.
Under this decision, there may be a
new trial, or the parties may settle the
case out of court
Lawyer Charles e. Perkins, senior
counsel for Anson P. Pond, was asked
this afternoon if the case would be
tried over again. Most assuredly,"
said Mr. Perkins, "the situation now
is just where it was before the trial be-
gan.
