NEARLY KILLED.
Little Girl Attacked by
Three Savage Dogs.
BruteS Gould Not Be Driven
Off by Stones or Clubs.
Finally Rescued and IS Stitches
Taken to Close Wounds. :

Boston, May 6.-The shrill cries of a
suffering child, the piercing screams for
help of o startled mother, and the omni-
GUS growls of savage dogs startled the
residents in the vicinity of the corner of
Cambridge street and Webster avenue,
Cambridgeport, yesterday shortly after
noon.
large crowd gathered, and the sounds
were traced 10 barnyard few steps
from the corner where shocking sight
met the gaze OF the onlookers. There in
the middle Of the enclosure lay a child,
and surrounding her stood three dogs of
the Boston terrier breed apparently tear
ing little 4-year-old girl to pieces. The
mother of the little one frantically i'm
piored some one to save her from tho
herce brutes, being unable herself To maize
the animals desist from their attack.
Some OF the more courageous OF the
men who had gathered attemp pied to do
this, and with sticks and stones succeed
ed IN beating two OF the animals off. The
other dog, more savage then the rest, con-
tinued TO tear at the little one, however,
and 1t looked as III he would succeed in
killing her before she could be rescued.
Someone in the crowd who knew the
owner OF the dogs had i'm the meantime
rushed over to the house of William Gala
CHER, short distance away, and he ar
rived not moment too soon.
Before the savage brute could be gotten
away from his victim. Mr.. Gallagher
found 1T necessary to force the dogs Jaw
open, for he refused TO release his hold.
The little one was carried tenderly into
the house, where il was found her body
was horribly lacerated. From the police
it was learned last night that the child
was Jeanette Mccarthy, daughter of Mr..
and Mira. John V. Mccarthy of 400
Columbia street. Shortly after i2 o'clock
noon the little girl was playing in the
spacious yard in the rear of her parents
home. The yard Is large enough TO con-
tain q stable, entrance to which is
obtained from Webster avenue.
The dogs are generally confined i'm the
barn, but 1t has been Mr.. Gallaghers
custom to allow them out in the yard for
an airing short time every day. None
of the dogs have heretofore shown vicious
tendencies. What provoked the attack is
something that has not yet been made
known, and Ii Will not be until the police
have completed their investigation. From
what could be CLEANED il appears that the
little girl came into the yard and the
younger dog, a mere puppy, bounded
playfully toward her.
Whether she hurt the puppy uninten-
tionally, or whether the Older dogs mis-
Interpreted her caresses is unknown.
The fact remains that they Immediately
attacked her, and were ii not for the
timely arrival OF Mr.. Gallagher the result
might have been fatal. DIR. Clancy,
who was hurriedly sent tor, took Is
stitches in the child's face where she had
been bitten and dressed several wounds
on the head, arms and lower limbs.
He says that IL blood poisoning does not
set in she Will recover MIR. Gallagher
Immediately killed one of the dogs and
will probably dispose of those remaining.

into the port of New London. and saved
them from the British fleet at Newport.

to many volume.
The deeds of the patriotic brave should

also rear a monument to their honor

much concerning the case and formed an

HUNTINGTON HEARD.

Washington, Feb. 14'-Mr.
c. p. Huntington appeared be-
fore the house committee en-
Pacific roads today. He began
by saying that when the roads
were built SO much was not
heard of their being built for
war purposes as had been since.
They were built for the policing
of the country and to permit
easy communication between
the East and West. The pro
motors of the line were regard
ed as crazy. When the road
was completed the assets were
not sufficient to meet the obi
cations of the road by several
millions. The road had bene
flied many and injured none.
Among other things it had vast
ly enhanced the value of the
lands through which it passed.
1t had also had the effect OF
causing a discontinuance CT In

DIPHTlIERIA AND
SPEAKING TUBES
From the British Medical Journal.

From the British Medical Journal.
DR.. King Wary, the Health
Officer of Hackney, in reporting
for the past year, produces Il
report made 10 his vestry on an
outbreak of diphtheria and sore
throat affecting the employees
of a particular establishment
in the district. OF the $50 EN-
ployes, forty three were girls
working i'll one room, and Of
twenty-five cases of diphtheritic
illness coming to light twenty
two were among these girls.
The disease was probably in
troduced, and spread from one
to the other of these girls sit
ting near together, all Of whom
frequently made use of the
speaking tubes. They we're,
indeed, specially set apart for
such use of the tubes, though
many other girls at times did
likewise: and the only other in
mates of the establishment af-
fected outside this room we're
one assistant on another floor,
whose duty it was to use the
other end Of one of these tubes,
and two additional assistants
in yet another room, who fire.
queDtly came in contact with
the girls Of the invaded room
in the lavatory, and who used
the same towels. TIE these two
causes DR.. Wary ascribes the
spread of the disease, namely,
a common use by the infected
and healthy of speaking-tube
mouthpieces, and the use OF
towels and lavatory accommo,
dation in common.

INFANTRY
REORGANIZATION.
Bill to Increase the Efficiency
Of That Branch of The
Service.

Washington. Feb. 14.-Of
fcers of The infantry have
taken a hand in drawing up
proposed Legislation affecting
their arm. Congress has be-
fore it many schemes to in
crease the efficiency of the mil
itary service, but with few eX-
ceptions these look chiefly 10
improvements in the artillery
branch, and some provide for a
reduction in the number of
infantry regiments. Even Sec
rotary Lamont's latest PROPOSE
tod does not fully meet the re
quirements according to infan
trymen.
Through Senator Elkins,
whose long residence in and
near Western posts, makes
him an excellent judge of the
needs of the army, those officers
have presented to the Senate a
plan Of their own. The bill is
the result of many and earnest
discussions between officers Of
the infantry stationed away
from Washington, particularly
those on duty at the infantry
school at Fort Leavenworth.
In the service the bill is known
as the "Leavenworth PROPOSE
ton" 1t provides that the in
fantry shall consist of % regi-
ments. The enlisted men of %
regiments are to be white and
those of the other two colored.
Each regiment is to comprise d
a band, u companies, one
Colonel, one Lieutenant Col
onel, three Majors, one Adju-
tant, one Quartermaster, one
Sergeant Major and one Quar-
termaster Sergeant. The Ad
iiiutant and Quartermaster are
to be extra Captains and to
have the pay and allowances
of mounted officers of that rank
They are to be selected by the
Colonies Of regiments.
Each band is 10 be command
ed by the regimental Adjutant.
Relative to the much discussed
question Of promotion, the bill
provides that all vacancies
created by it shall be filed by
the advancement of officers in
accor lance with existing laws
