The remains OF Judge Macarthur, who
died yesterday in Atlantic City, left that
place on the 0:05 O'Clock train this morn
ing and win arrive here this afternoon.
Mrs. Macarthur is coming on the same
train. 1t was thought best to wait until
that hour so as to catch the through train
and thereby avoid the change across the
ferry at the Delaware River.
Upon its arrival it will be met by an un-
dertaker and conveyed to the house at No.
1901 W street northwest. Nothing defi-
| mite regarding the funeral has been deter
| mined upon, except that it will take place
from the home here.
Mrs MacArthur's sister, who is the sole
relative III town. said today that the fun
eral will probably be delayed until the
arrival of Judge MacArthur's son, Col
Arthur Macarthur, U. s. A, who is a
present at San Antonio, Tex.
At any rate nothing will be done until
the arrival of Mrs. Macarthur this even
ing. The only news which has teen re-
ceived at the residence was a telegram
which simply announced the death without

kills one might be presented to every Eaby
born in the district during the year and
then there would lie dogs enough killed be-

The first canine led TO the slaughter vas
large, vicious-iooking dog, a cross between
bull terrier and 4 hound. AS John crap
Piled with him and placed the halter about
his neck, the brute made a lungc at his
captor, growing as If he would greatly
enjoy an opportunity to make Hamburg
steak out of the exccutioner.
John was too quick for him, however,
and stepped out of his way in time TO miss
an ugly snap and save himself from the
jaws OF the brute. John is accustomed 10
handling vicious dogs and il did not TAX g
him long to drag the beast TO the slaughter
Epot, u few feet away.
The dog gIowlea. and showed his teeth
as If anticipating that something was
about to happen. As soon as he stood
still John placed the thrty-twu caliber
revolver close to the dogs forehead. di-
| rectly between his eyes, and fired. The
victim fell in his tracks. Strengthened his
limbs and died without struggle.

enters the brain OF the dog and death is
