Dog Kills Alligator.

New York, July 14.-A fierce battle occurred this morning between an alli- gator six feet in length and a big New foundland dog, known as Nero, in West Brighton.
 The alligator was recently received from Florida by Acting Police Captain Lawson of the Coney Island police sta- tion. He placed it in Boynton's en- closure.
 The alligator broke through the wire screens this morning and attacked the dog, Nero, which was lying asleep a short distance away. The attendants about the show had their attention at tracted by the dogs yelping. At first the alligator retreated. but then att tackled the dog in earnest. The men in the enclosure seized clubs and tried to separate the combatants in this way, but without success. At one time it looked as if the dog would be worsted in the battle, but Nero gamely fought his antagonist, and at a favorable op- portunity got his teeth fastened in the alligator's throat and did not release the grip until the alligator rolled over on it's back dead. The alligator's s throat was badly lacerated. The dog was almost used up in the desperate struggle.

Bryan and the Popuiists,

St. Louis, July 14.L. K Taylor of Paducah. Ky. a member of the populist national committee. is at the Lindell Hotel to arrafige for quarters for the Kentucky delegation to the populist convention of July 22. He was asked whom the Kentucky populists favor for president and said:
 T can't say further than they did want Teller and hoped that the Chicago convention would nominate him. So that they could have endorsed him"
 will the populists indorse Bryan when they meet here next week?"
 They may. but l doubt it, because we have got to maintain our party or sanization. We may nominate Teller and then agree to divide our electorial tickets on the basis that the strongest man shall win after the general result is known. This is feasible, and after all it looks as it is would simply be the indoIfement of Bryan. for he would mosts1ikely be the beneficiary"

The Late Hiram D., Harris of New London,
 Hiram D. Harris, who died in New London on Monday, had submitted to an operation Sunday, from which he did not rally. He had long been suf- fering from, an abscess on the liver, but only lately was the nature or his malady discovered. The Norwich Bull letin says: TThe operation was resort ed to as the only course left, and while it gave the patient temporary relief the help came too late Drs. Powers, Graves, stanton and Braman were present at the operation, which took place at il o'clock Sunday night. At 5 o'clock Monday morning MT. Harris passed away. He had been in the drug business for many years, having enter ed the employ of pr. Sterne, the drug gist, in the early fifties. The firm was soon changed to Sterne & Nichols the other partner being the late Frank Nichols. After the death of Dr. Sterne MT. Harris was admitted to partner ship, and the style was changed to Nichols & Harris, as it still remains.
 MT. Harris was a lifelong member of the First Baptist church. Mrs, Harris and a son and daughter survive him. He was a charter member of Sprague lodge, A. O. U, w., also member of the Workingman's Benefit association, | and was fifty-seven years of age"
