New York. June 21.-The situation is
again becoming interesting and indications
point to fresh era of activity. To many
it appears out of the question to expect
any except temporary improvement in
prices with such remarkably fine crop
situation. The weekly Government report
in detail confirms anticipated reports OF
good progress, and so far as the crop is
concerned, the effect on the market may
be expected to be felt to a certain extent
for some time to come. 1t is not doubted,
however. that frequent reeoveries may be
looked for in the interval, as there are
many traders still bullishly inclined.
Liverpool holds 1900, coo bales of Amer. can
cotton at present, which seems more than
ample, even with a continuance of the re-
markably satisfactory trade conditions
abroad, OF which so much has been heard
The decline in the early market of four to
seven points, surprised even many OF the
bear crowd. who expected some recovery
after Yesterdays loss. Holders, however,
appeared to be scTambling TO liquidate
selling orders coming in from all points of
the compass. A temporary withdrawal of
sellers caused little recovery after the
early movement but later on a fresh
avalanche of selling orders appeared, which
broke August nineteen points in all, and
other months nearly as much, when out
side buying resulted in little rally.

RABID DOG RUNS AMUcK.
Three Pedestrians Sustain Injuries
rs Result.

Result
A dog supposed to have been mad, run
ming amuck in the neighborhood OF Thir-
teenth and H Streets northwest yesterday
afternoon, struck terror to the hearts of
pedestrians and residents of that section.
The animal, which was a NANCY looking
black cur, made its appearance suddenly
from an alley in the vicinity. 1t was foam
ing at the mouth and barking fiercely, in
terspersing its yelps with vicious snaps at
all who came in its way. The dog ran
back and forth along II Street without in
Turing anyone until finally at the corner
Of Thirteenth Street it encountered three
men who were walking in different direc-
tions.
The animal made an attack on the men
one after the other and succeeded in fas-
tening its teeth in the legs OF each. The
animal was successfully beaten OF before
fl could do serious damage and ran down
Thirteenth Street to F. where it was lost
and what became of the dog is not known.
It was feared that other persons would be
injured, but no reports TO that effect have
been received. The three men who were
bitten were treated at the Emergency Hos
pital. The wounds inflicted in each case
were not serious and after they were eau
terized and dressed the men departed for
their homes. No serious results are antic-
ipated.
The men treated at the hospital gave
their names as Albert Smith, nineteen
years old, a student, who lives at 11Os G
Street northwest; E r. Wood, eighteen
years Of age, a clerk. whose home is al
Ills II Street northwest and W. W. Tuck
er, laborer, of 1401 K Street southeast.

CAPT. ISAAC T. JOBE.
An Incident of His Career in Thi,
City.

An Incident OF HIS Career IN fh1s
City.
Capt. Isaac T. Jobe formerly commander
of the Sixth United States Volunteer In
fantry, known as the Sixth Immunes, who
was arraigned in New York Tuesday be-
fore United States Commissioner Shields,
as told in The Morning Times, on charge
of attempting to defraud the Government
by selling to brokers railroad tickets is
sued to an alleged sick and discharged
soldier, is well known in this city.
Jobe was at one time a clerk of Con-
gressional committee, and was for more
than two years attached to the District
government as assistant superintendent of
street sweeping. He was appointed to the
latter position September l. 1894, and was
given compensation at the rate of $3.50
per day. On July l, 1896 his salary was
increased to 81, 800 per year, and on April
Y, 1897, he was removed by order of the
then District Commissioners on recon-
mendation of Alexander c. Mckenzie, who
was then in charge of the District street.
sweeping department.
The cause of Jobe's removal was for a
long time a mystery; and the cause of no
small amount of speculation, but it has
developed that his dismissal resulted from
the opening of the desk of Superintendent
Mckenzie on the night of April IL, 1897
When the Superintendent ascertained that
some one had been at his desk the matter
was placed in the hands of Detective Ed
Horne, of Police Headquarters, who sub
mitted a report showing that robbery
could not have been the cause of the at
tempt to open the desk, as there was
nothing in its interior that would be of
] value to thief. He thought there was
another motive for the deed, and con-
| cluded that the only theory which sug-
sested itself to him was that there must
| have been certain papers in the desk
1 which would have been of interest to or
| which would affect the person who tam
| pered with the desk. Detective Horne re-
/ ported that, acting upon this theory, he
/ conferred with Policeman Salkeld who
was on duty at the entrance of the Dis
| trict building, and ascertained that Jobe
| entered the building about 10 o'clock on
| the night of April IL, 1897, failed to reg
/ lister his name, went upstairs and returned
| at 1915 o'clock, having been in the Of
flee forty-five minutes. When this report
was made Superintendent Mckenzie, on
the following day, April u, recommended
| the removal of lobe, which was immedi-
ately approved by the Commissioners.
Jobe was quite well known among Dis
trict employees, and the New York Incl
dent, involving his arraignment on a
! charge of fraud, was a matter of much
comment in District offices yesterday af-
ternoon. 1t was stated at the District
building that Jobe was at one time mayor
of Johnson City, Tenn. After his removal
here he Travelled in the interest of a con-
tracing firm, and afterward entered the
Volunteer Immune Regiment. At the
| hearing Tuesday he was represented by
ex-Congressman Timothy Campbell He
waived examination and was committed to
await the action of the grand Jury.
