MAD CHASE OF A RABID CUR.
Two Women and Several Animals
Victims of Its Fury.

New York June "A common yellow
dog made its appearance late Wednesday
afternoon in the Cyntinack Road, in Hale
don, a suburb of Paterson, =. J. At the
farm Of George Slater the animal attacked
a herd of cattle, inficting serious injury
upon six before it finally departed with a
crowd OF workmen in pursuit. At the
house of Mrs Mary Lott, little further
along the road, two dogs and horse were
bitten and a workman driven to shelter.
On the opposite side of the road is the
home Of Mrs Rachel Allen. She was walk
ing In her grounds, when she was attacked
by the mad dog. There was no time for
retreat when the animal came upon her.
She lodged its first spring. and then, seiz-
ing a stick that lay near, struck bravely
at the animal. Twice her stick hit the
dog. but no one thus armed is a match for
a dog with the rabies. Mrs. Allen must
soon have met defeat had not her husband
and daughter gone to her assistance. At
the same time the pursuers from the Sla-
ter and Lott places arrived and the dog
fed.
Mrs. Charles Watson was walking near
her home, two hundred yards below, when
she saw the dog coming. They made a
race to her home and the woman barely
won. The dog went across the fields to-
ward Paterson. swapping and biting at
everything In its path.
In the meantime DR.. T. J. Cooper, a vet
erinary surgeon Of Paterson, had been
telegraphed for by Mr.. Slater. After at
tending to the wounds Of Slaters cattle
DR.. Cooper followed up the dog. Every
where dogs and cattle had been bitten.
The former were quarantined and the
wounds Of the latter cauterized.
The dog was finally traced to North
Fourth Street, Paterson, where DR.. Cooper
shot 1t after 1t had first savagely attacked
him and driven him to his carriage.
DR.. Cooper decided the case was one Of
hydrophobia, and yesterday he visited New
York and consulted with the doctors at the
Pasteur Institute and the American Vete-
rinary College. Several OF the dogs and
most of the cattle bitten are valuable, and
a determined effort will be made to save
them.
The dogs will be kept confined for some
time in order to ascertain whether the
dread hydrophobia has been communicated
to them. while in the case of the valuable
cattle the serum will be administered ac-
cording to the Pasteur system. This Is
probably the first case In which the Pas
teur method has been applied extensively
to any other but human creatures
DR.. Cooper said that while pursuing the
mad dog he witnessed a fierce battle be-
tween It and a COW. The latter had run

FIRE AT VIM. PENN.
Loss Of DoubIe Block Caused by De.
fective FIue.

VIM. Penn was the scene Of fire at noon
to-day which, although it occasioned no great
loss, was the occasion Of some exciting in
cidents
The fire started in double block located
about five hundred yards distant from the
VIM Penn coliery. The blowing Of the
breaker whistle alarmed the residents Of the
hamlet and attracted a great crowd to the
scene from the upper and lower patches as
we'll as from Lost Creek. The coliery EN-.
ployes formed a bucket brigade and fought
the flames with determination, hut the frame
structure proved good material for the flames
and was soon burned to the ground
The dwellings were occupied by the
families Of John Mill and George Tomko.
Each house contained number of boarders,
and as several Of them were asleep when the
fire started, there were some narrow escapes.
One man, in jumping from second story
window, sustained a laceration on the left
wrist which severed an artery. The man
almost bled to death. Dr. Brady, of Lost
Greek, attended him.
The fire was started by defective flue and
the flames spread so rapidly that all the
household effects of both families, except a
stove, were destroyed. The total loss, on
buildings and furniture, however, did not
exceed $500. The buildings were small
structures

Speaking Of the Anthracite coal trade.
Saward's Journal says the day Of high
prices has gone by, but fair prices, with an
increased tonnage, if possible, means good
result to the capital invested in the coal and
in the carrying companies IL will not do TO
deceive the trade this year, as they were
during last and its predecessor, and after
taking care Of tonnage, and prices necessarily,
in the early part Of the year, let things slide
later on. The better conditions which ex-
isted during the past four months were not
the result of any effort on the part Of the
management to improve the trade, but to a
fortunate combination Of cold, ice and snow.
Are there not some people in the Anthracite
industry who can and will do something to
put it on an even better basis than it now is,
and keep 1t there?
