PATROLMAN ALLISON DEAD.
Popular Officer Succumbs to Pain
full Disease.

Patrolman William Allison, Of the
Fourth Police Precinct. died at the homs
iof his brother, n No. si8 Ninth street, early
this morning. Allison, who was an ex-
ceptionally popular policeman. had not
been able to do duty on the force during
the past six months.
His death is attributed to results of in
ternal injuries received five years ago,
when he fell through hatchway at the
Malone sheep-skin cleansing factory,
where he was then employed. He appar-
entity recovered and worked steadily for
two years with John Lawless. the Grove
street plumber. He was appointed to the
police force about two years ago, and was
next to the tallest man on the force,
six feet four and half inches. Though
a giant in frame, his disposition was
amiable. Six months ago he began to
complain of terrible pains in his abdomen,
they were SO continuous and intense that
his doctors decided upon an operation
This was attempted in St. Francis Hos
pital in the presence of seventeen ply
sicians On opening his abdomen the
operators discovered a large numerous
substance had formed which If cut and
removed would result in the patients i'm
mediate death. The operation was aban-
doned and although Allison recovered
sufficiently to be up and about he was
unable to perform police duty.

WILL FIGHT KINDRED.
Three Young Gubans With
Relatives in the Spanish
Army Enlist.

There are three men in the First Com
pany, Board of Trade Regiment, who
are anxiously awaiting news OF the cap
ture of Havana or the invasion of Cuba
by the Army of the United States from
some other point. They are Cubans and
they hunger to be with the invading
army. If they We're sure that they would
be placed with the invaders they would
enlist in the regular service today They
hope that when their native isle is in
vaded that the President will call for
the volunteers who are ready to respond
TO his call In the meantime they are
going to devote themselves to mastering
the art of soldering.
The three men are the brothers Dieste
Ramon, Frank and James. Ramon Dieste
was elected fourth sergeant of the First
Company on Saturday might. Should the
Dieste. brothers become part of the in
vading army they would probably be pit
red in battle against those of their own
flesh and blood-they might meet their
brothers face to face in the heat of an
engagement, as foes and be compelled to
engage them in hand to hand conflict

mad dog was demonstrated in Hoboken
this morning. Assistant Superint tendent
fIeffernan of the Hoboken Ferry Co., was
standing at the entrance to the ferry
house shortly before noon when yellow
mongrel cur came running towards him.
The dog was frothing at the mouth, and
when it came near Heffernan made a
vicious snap at him. Policeman Waddy
Haw, who was in the vicinity, was notf-
fled that a mad dog was playing havoc
with passengers in the ferryhouse, and
came running to the scene He went at
the canine with drawn revolver and club.
The eur took refuge under a trolley car.
Policeman Haw was afraid to use his
revolver fearing that a stray shot might
hit some of the passengers in the ear. He
ordered the motorman to start his car.

mangled remains were strewn over the
tracks
