DOGS FOR THE KLONDlKE.
They Are Now Being Trained Near Phila-
 delphia

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 At Point Breeze, just outside of the limits of Philadelphia, at a bend of the Schuyl- kill river that is found by every breath of winter, 27O dogs are being trained to draw large sledges in the Klondike. They will be shipped there as early as possible next spring and it is intended they shall form a line from the gold fields to some point on the coast not yet determined.
 It has been ascertained that the supply of Eskimo dogs-dogs obtainable on the way to or in the Klondike regions is alto gether insufficient to meet the demand This fact is what has caused the curious spectacle that may be seen any day at Point Breeze.
 The dogs are all sorts, none more than years old, none more than 20 inches high. Brawny dogs, too, most of them, for weakling would be of small use in the klon- dike. Every one of them is as young and vigorous as a dog can be, and each. day they are all becoming more and more ac- customed to the lack of those things that dogs generally get in civilization
 Their quarters, when the dogs are not being driven, are some windoWless sheds windowless because there are only open ings where the windows used to be, and the cold and storm come in as they please without effort being made to stop them.
  dogs, and apparently it has succeeded. The animals food consists largely of horse meat on the theory that it should make them tough, hardy and strong, and accus- tom them to the diet that is likely to be theirs during their trips to and from the gold fields.
 The dogs are driven in teams of five, three wheelers and two leaders, so-called even if they are intended to draw sledges. Just at present, however, the sledge consists of a box mounted on wheels, which the ani- mals draw over and upon disused rail- way track Perhaps they may encounter something in their Klondike travels in the way of rough travelling that will be more weary on them than this, but it is very doubtful
 It is arduous work for MT. Wheatley, the trainer, but he is confident that by the time spring comes he will have every dog thor oughly used to harness, to travelling under most unpleasant conditions, and subsisting upon raw meat, fish or whatever he Is so fortunate as to be able to get in the way of food. In this condition the dogs will prove very valuable in the land where they are going.
 Just as soon as it is considered advisa- ble, probably next April, these dogs will be placed in three-story kennel car and shipped to Seattle. From Seattle they will be transported to whatever point from which the Klondike is accessible that the owners of the sedge line for which they are being trained may decide upon.

Continue to Pour in Upon Senator Hanna by
 the Thousand.

Columbus, O., Jan. 13.-Senator Hanna and the members of the legislature went home today. All will return by Tuesday next. The leaders on both sides are still here preparing for another fight next week. The opposition to Hanna was defeated in his election, but it proposes to fight now against his being seated for the long term. His enemies say they have not the time to interfere on the short term, but they will press the bribery charges as such charges were pressed on Senator Henry B. Payne fourteen years ago.
 Subpoenas have been issued for Senator Hanna, Maj. Dick and others to appear before the senate committee next Tues day night Libel suits have been brought against several republican managers in connection with the bribery charges, nota- bly one by T. c. Campbell for s10O,c00 against the Ohio State Journal.
 Almost another thousand congratulatory telegrams were received today for MT. Han- ma and forwarded to him at Cleveland.
 Senator T. c. Platt sent strong dis patch, saying:
 Your success means the. salvation of the party"
 Some of the congratulatory telegrams continue to denounce "traitors" in the se verest language.

1 E CARS EAR.
The Russian Peasants Remarkable Credu!- si ity.
From the London Mail

From the London Mail
 In the western districts of the Cherson province of Russia there recently occurred g. strike of peasa nts who resolute.y de- clined to do any more work for the local landowner. The police investigated the matter, and, according to our St. Peters, burg correspondent gave the following ex- traordinary reasons for the outbreak
 A picture of the present czar was recent ly sent to all communal councils in Rus sia including, of course, those in Cherson. As the picture only presented side view of the czar, only one ear was visible. This led the peasants to believe that the cZar really possessed only one ear, and the loss of the other they thus account for:
 When Alexander IT. died (say these peasants) his widow and old advisers be- gan to confer together, afterward inviting Nicholas II. to join them. As soon as Czar Nicholas entered the room he declared that all land in Russia must be equally divided among the peasants. One of his council lors replied: "As sure as you cannot see your own ear you cannot divide the land' The czar thereupon cut off one ear, and re- marked: "As surely as I now see my ear I will divide the land"
 The peasants in Cherson were so con- vinced of the truth of this legend that they believed strike against the landowners would be followed by the intervention of the cZar and the division of the land among themselves.

SHE HAD BEEN HOO-DOOED How Fannie Lyle Lost a Gold
 Watch. A GYPSEY FORTUNE TELLER Told Her Where Il Could Be Found in tie Window Casing at Matte Loves
 House Strange Superstition.

The superstition of the average negro and his firm belief in the powers of the "Hoodo Doctor" was aptly illustrated in case on trial in the circuit court yester- day.
 Hattie Love was arraigned on charge of grand larceny. based on the alleged taking of a watch, the property of Fannie Lyle, who resides in Woodlawn.
 From the testimony of Fannie Lyle it appears that Matte is "hoodoo doctor" and as such visited her house and sold her two "hoodoo bags" which were said to be proof against ill-fortune and the revenge of enemies. Some time after the purchase of the ''bags" Mattie again visited her house for the purpose of renewing" the power of the bags" which seemed to have waned.
 During her visit to the house gold watch is alleged to have been lying on the bed, and was missed short time after Mattie's departure A search warrant was sworn out before Justice Wood of Woodlawn and placed in the hands of Officer McDaniel, who came to this city short time after Hattie had returned home and searched her room, but found no trace of the missing watch.
 She was arrested, however, and taken back to Woodlawn on a charge of doing business without license in selling "hoo- doc bags"
 She gave bond for her appearance and was tried about ten days later.
 In the meantime Fannie, who was much worried at the loss of her watch, decided to consult the "oracle' of a wandering gypsy, who told her that the watch could be found on the outside of the house, either hid in the ground or secreted in the door or window castings.
 She immediately sought Officer McDon- ald, and requested him to again search the house, telling him the result of her con sultaton with the gypsy.
 In company with Fannie, Officer Me Donald made another search for the watch, and found 1t secreted among some rags between the sash and casing of window in room adjoining Mattie's room
 Matte tells different story, and claims that revenge is at the bottom of the whole affair. She says that she is sick nurse, and was visited by Fannie, who sought to obtain relief from the enmity of the Wood lawn negroes, which she said caused her much uneasiness
 She claims that in the course of her con- versation she mentioned" a "good-luck bag" which had been given her by "Yel- lowstone Kit'' during his visit to this city some years ago, with the assurance that it would ward off all harm. She says that Fannie became anxious for the bag" and requested her to make one for her, stating that she possessed a piece of loadstone. She subsequently visited Fannie at her home in Woodlawn, at the request of Fan nies husband.
 She says that in the interim Fannie came to her house with a man and wanted to rent a room, which was refused, and on that account she became angered at her, which, she alleges eliminated in the pros ecution by reason of the animosity aroused.

MOSBYS USE OF A SPY.
Bought Goods From Him, Besides Obtaining
 Information.

From the Washington Post
 for reward for spying during the late war, Col. John S. Mosby, the famous confederate guerrilla, says:
 During Gen. Grants administration a similar bill was introduced, but Iswent up to the chairman of the committee, exposed the fraud and squelched the bill. During Mr. Clevelands second term similar bill was offered. I wrote letter to a Virginia member of congress and squelched the bill again.
 "The truth is this Worsely got permit in the summer of 1864 to go through the lines with several wagon loads of goods to sell my men, pretending that he could get valuable information for the government here in Washington. He came with two wagon loads of military goods which my men bought from him. gave him per- init to pass unmolested to Washington and bring me another load of goods, which he did The only thing that he could tell the authorities on his return was that he saw me and a lot of my men on certain day at a certain place. As we had no fixed place to stay, he could tell just as much about a wild goose or a crow that he saw flying in Virginia as he could tell about us. He also gave me some valuable information about the position of. the troops about Washington, and I made several successful raids on the strength of the information. Worsely was simply playing for all the money he could make out of both sides.
 "The authorities at Washington got tired furnishing me with military supplies and refused another permit to Worsely. So he

friend assured him that he could easily get rid of the pests, and proceeded to fumigate the apartment with corrosive sublimate. The success of this measure was most grat- flying, and when the room was opened the dead bodies of various kinds of insects were seen strewn about the floor. This incident led the professor to hope that the same means would be effectual in destroying the infectious elements of contagious diseases, and a trial in private houses after scarlet fever or measles, and in hospitals after erysipelas or pyaemia, gave most satisfac- tory results. Since adopting this method he has never seen a second case of a con- tagious disease which could be attributed to infection remaining in the room in which the patient had been confined. The mode of procedure Is very simple. From one and a half to two ounces of corrosive sublimate are put on a plate over a chafing dish, and then the windows and doors of the room are closed. At the expiration of three or four hours the windows are opened and the apartment is thoroughly aired. The person entering the room should take the pre- caution to hold a sponge or cloth over the mouth and nose in order not to inhale the vapor. The following day the windows are again closed, and some sulphur is burned in order to neutralize any of the mercurial fumes which may finger about the furni- ture and other articles. The room should then be again aired and cleaned when it will be ready for occupancy.

informed on certain merchants in Wash ington and Baltimore, from whom he had bought the goods, and had them arrested and put in prison. One of these was Ham, ilton Easter, of Baltimore.
 "I shall write another letter to congress exposing this man. I didn't need any commissary or quartermaster as long as Worsely was furnishing my supplies, but as my men paid him for the goods and I have doubt he was also paid by the government, I think he get enough out of it. knew perfectly well what he came for, but was not afraid of his spying. Among the things he brought me was some very fine gray cloth, from which my confederate uniform was made. That uniform is now in the National Museum near that of Gen. Grant. If they are going to put Worsely's widow the pension rolls of the United States I consider that l am equally entitled to place there"
