MANeLED BY A VICIOUS DOG.
4 FerOcious Newfoundland Fear
fully Lacerntes q hoy.

- DOss
New York. Aug. 17.-Edward Agnew,
thirteen years old, of. No. sac East 156th
Street, was terribly torn by a large and
powerful Newfoundland dog yesterday
and had 1t not been for Mounted Police
man Frank A. Nolan. of the Morrisania
station he would have been literally
chewed to death by the dog.
With the parents of young Agnew
boards Charles L. Breihof. who owned
the dog. AT times the animal has ex-
hibited viciousness. but this fact was
known alone to Breihof.
Young Agnew went to Oak Point to
swim yesterday morning, accompanied by
the dog who seemed to evince Il fond
ness for the boy. Agnew remained in the
water about an hour.
As he was drying himself with towe.
the dog sprang upon the boy and bore
him to the ground. The deg buried his
teeth in the rigat thigh of the boy. and
shook him If he were a rat Then the
dog began to bite and lacerate the flesh
of the boy in frightful manner.
The screams of the lad were heard by
Nolan. who was formerly a cowboy. He
galloped UP to the place where the dog
was lacerating the boy, and, jumping
from his horse. gave the dog powerful
blow on the head with his club. The dog
sprang at the throat of the policeman,
",lp touStu ucdit lHe Uedst siHothSI
blow. Again the dog leaped. and Nolan's
coat was torn by the animals claws
Again the club descended, and the dog
acted as though stunned. Quick as
fash Nolan drew his revolver and put
shot squarely into the head of the brute.
The dog rolled over dead.
The encounter between the infuriated
brute and the policeman was witnessed
by nearly one hundred persons. When
the dog lay in the throes of death the
crowd cheered Nolan.
An ambulance was called from Ford
ham Hospital. and DIR. Brown responded.
Agnew had watched the contest between
the dog and policeman. and when ii was
over he became unconscious. He was
taken home in a precarious condition.
Breihof, the owner of the dog. said that
the animal. ten days ago. without any
provocation. attacked him and lacerated
his right arm.

and the Hon. Charles Fonteiieu, of
Iberia, was rendered the nomination,
and accepted it.
The Third district Republican COM
mittee met yesterday in this city 70
till the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Col. Breaux. This
committee was specially empowered
by the convention to ill vacancies in
case Of death or resignation which
may occur the Third congressional
district.
The committee was called to order
by the chairman, Hon. Mayer Calm.
Mr.. Felix Bienvenu recorded the
proceedings. All members were
present.
On motion of j. L. Jones, the
committee proceeded to fill the va
cancy. Hon. Chas. Fontelieu, of
Iberia, was nominated by John A.
Brookshier, and d. J. Reed, of Cal
casieu, moved that the nomination be
made unanimous. This motion was
adopted.
On motion of ID. j. Reed, a com
mittee Of three was appointed to no.

The chair appointed on this commit
tee Reed, Jones and Brookshier. The
committee sought Mr.. Fontelieu, and
with him appeared before the meet

cepted the nomination.
Mr.. Fontelieu is the recently APP
pointed United States marshal for the
eastern district Of Louisiana. of
course, if he is elected to congress he
will resign the m~arshalship. He is a
native Of Iberia parish, and his father,
the late Judge Theodore Fontelieu,
was one of the most prominent ~iurists
of southwestern Louisiana. Chas.
Fortelieu was admitted to the bar in
1886, and practiced in the parishes of
southwestern Louisiana, making d
reputation for ability and learning Us

Mr.. Fontelieu always took ab &C.

vice chairman Of the, State central
committee since two years, and was
elected chairman OF the Third q
gressional district committee, which
met in Morgan City, Sept. 6. At
that meeting Mr.. Fontelien was the
unanimous choice for congress, but
he declined in favor of Col. Breaux.
His acceptance Of the nomination,
now that Col. Breaux has resigned,
gives considerable strength to the Re-
publican party in the Third district,
for Mr.. Fontelieu is very popular,
and extensely known and esteemed
for his sturdiness in his political alil-

The Southern Cross.

After You have known the Southern
Cross for awhile and get ON speaking
terms with it your respect for it grows.
When we first met it, writes e. w.
Harden to the Chicago Post, we were at
sea and were keeping good hours. By
o o'clock all of us would have turned
in. When the Southern Cross first comes
above the horizon, it lies over on its
side, and it is not straight in the heav-
ems until midnight. OF course none OF
us would sit up three hours to see the
cross right itself in the heavens, and so
we did not see it as it should be seen
until one night in Colombo
We had been out to dinner and did
not go on board our ship until midnight
The moon had set, and we were rowed
out from the landing wharf in one of
those chronological exhibit boats which
the Ceylonese had at the Worlds fair,
the outrigger kind. A big Peninsular
and Oriental passenger ship was weigh
