DUBLIN SCARED BY MAD DOG.
The Rabid Animal was Finally Run
Down and killed.

Dublin. Ga, Feb. 2S.-Probably nothing
has caused more excitement in Dublin
than that which resulted yesterday from
the appearance on Jackson street of a
supposed mad dog.
About 1 o'clock the business portion
was startled by pistol shots and the cry
of mad dog. The dog, a setter belonging
to MIR. f. NJ. whitehead, had run into the
store of Law & Brooks and attempted to
bite everything In reach. Mr. Huffman.
clerk in the store shot il twice, but did
not succeed in killing it,
The dog was finally killed, but not until
It had bit a dozen dogs and had itself be-
come the lodging place of several bullets.
During the past week several supposed
mad dogs have been killed in Dublin, and
not a few dogs are now tied up awaiting
developments. The dog killed yesterday
was bit about three weeks ago.

Foul Smelling
Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult to
get rid Of
The disease is in the blood and all the

CHOYNSKI WHIPS MAHER.
Given the Decision im "a six-ROEnd Con-
test In Chicago.

sest Ia IntcuSOs
| Chicago, Feb. 16.-Joe Choynski was
given the decision over Peter Maher in
six-round contest before the Fort
Dearborn Athletic Club tonight. The
Californian evidently had not forgot
ten his former defeat at the hands of
the Irishman for throughout the fight
he took but few chances contenting
himself with jolting Peter with his left
a task which he found comparatively
easy. In the last two rounds of the
fight, Maher, maddened by the sting Of
Choynski's left glove, rushed furious
ly, but was almost invariably straight
ened up and during the closing minute
of the last round was SO badly punish
ed that he was staggering as the bell
rang. In the first round, Choynski
caught Maher with. left hook square
ly on the point of the jaw, a second
before the bell rang and it is probably
tat if the round had lasted moment
more Choynski would have won right
there, as the blow made Maher reel
like drunken man. Maher made Joe
go to the board in the second with
hard left to the chin and stomach and
had a clear lead during that round.
Thereafter, however, Joe had the bet
ter If it, ChoynsAi left the ring with
scarcely O. mark, while Peters right
eye was in bad shape. Probably 5000
persons saw the fight, which took place
in the Second Regiment Armory.

THE SENTENCING OF MOLINEUX.
Very Dramatic Scene-speech of tho
Condemned.

New York. Feb. 16.--There have been
many dramatic incidents connected
with the trial of Roland B. Molineux
for the murder of Mrs. Katherine ].
Adams but none more dramatic than
the reply of the prisoner to-day when
he appeared before Recorder Golf for
sentence to death in the electric chair.
Heretofore though entering a plea of
not guilty at the beginning of the trial,
Molineux has always declined to say
one word in hia own defence, even
when the character of his wife was at
tackled by witnesses and by Assistant
District Attorney Osborne, but to-day
when the conventional legal question Of
whether there was any reason why sem
tsncs should not be pronounced upon
him, was asked by the recorder, the
prisoner defended his wife and referred
torney as that of "blackguard." Mol
ineux's statement was brief, and soon
after he made it he made it he was hur-
ried out of the court room, through a
throng of thousands of cheering people,
to the Grand Central depot and thence
on a New York Central train to Sing
Sing, where he rests tonight in one
of the new cages in the death house in
the state prison there.
Every word that Molineux said cut
the air like a knife, 50 intense was the
stiffness in the court room. Standing
with head erect, his slight frame bent

CAPT. BRADLEY RE-INSTATED.
Charges Against Commander of Meri-
den Company withdrawn.

Meriden, Feb. 16.-It was learned
here tonight that orders were issued
from the adiutant generals office re-
storing Captain Oscar L. Bradley to
the command of Company 1, Second
regiment, c. N. G.. as the charges that
had been preferred against him had
been withdrawn. The case has attract
ed considerable attention in military cir
cles throughout the state. Captain
Bradley when seen tonight admitted
that he had received official orders as
mentioned with instructions to assume
immediate command; further than that
he would say nothing. 1t is also un-
derstood that successors to First Lieu
tenant John w. Cramer and Second
Lieutenant John w. Dene will be
chosen. These two officers were the
principal compliments it is alleged
against Captain Bradley, which result
ed in the request that he resign for
the benefit Of the service"

EX-GOV. WALLER INDICATED
THE CHARGES OF Fra I'D AND CON-
SPIRACY DISMISSED.
Credibility to the Testimony OF Pull
lar, His Wife and DIR. Won Reitz-
Evidence Clear That No Threats or
False PreteMses Had Been Made.

New York, Feb. 16.-Justice Bischoff
to-day gave judgment for the defend
ants and dismissed the action brought
by Joseph w. Pullar to compel Former
Governor Waller of Connecticut, Law
yer Alfred r. Page and others to re-
convey to him property here and In
Chicago. which he alleged they forced
him to transfer to them by threat that
they would have him prosecuted for
bigamy. The court held that the evi-
dence showed that Pullar fully compre-
hended the nature Of the negotiations
which were carried on between him and
the defendants on October IA, 1897, and
the nature of the deeds subsequently
executed by him, by which he trans
ferred his title in the property in dis
pute.
Justice Bischoff said that he did not
attach much credibility to the testimo-
ny of Pullar, his wife or DR.. Won Reitz,
in whose house Pullar and his wife We're
living free of rent, as all of them We're
parties interested in the result of the
suit. Besides, Pullar was a confirmed
drunkard and bigamist, and there was
no doubt that when he signed the deeds
he was actuated by full consciousness
of his guilt.
The evidence was clear, Justice Bisch-
off said, that no threats or false repre-
sentations had been made to Pullar, and
on his side the evidence was lacking
which would enable him to succeed in
his action. He then dismissed the case.
The property in dispute was worth
about 100000, of which Pullar was left
a half interest. The relatives of his
second wife at first attempted to upset
the will, but afterwards succeeded in
getting Pullar to abandon his claim to
the estate for money consideration of
$12,500. DR.. Won Reitz, who attended
Mrs. Pullar during her last Illness, was
bequeathed a house and lot, and his in
terest would have been affected by the
transfer of the property.
Ex-Governor Waller, after the judg-
ment of the court in his favor, said:
For weeks my name has been coupled
in complaints and newspapers with
charges Of fraud and conspiracy. hope
that the papers will display my vindica-
tion in as big letters as they did the
charges against me-.

Senate Discusses Philippines.

Washington, Feb. Reconsideration
of the financial measure having been
concluded, discussion of the Philippine
question was resumed in the senate to-
day. Mr. McEnery, dem, of Louisiana,
strongly opposed the permanent acqui-
sition of the islands and believed the
United States ought to relinquish them
as soon as the authority of this country
had been asserted. Mr.. Stewart took
pronounced position in favor of the ad-
mission of the products of any of the
island possessions of the United States
free of duty. The bill providing to form
government for the territory of Ha-
waii was read, but beyond that formal
ity nothing was done with it.

FIGHTING AnoUND CoLEsBERa.
Both Sides Are reported to Have Lost
Heavily.


| London. Feb. 16.-A correspondent OF
the Daily Mail at Naauwpoort tele-
graphing Wedneday says: THE Beers
losses around Colesberg on Monday are
extremely heavy"
The Daily Telegraph has the follow
ing dispatch from Naauwpoort, dated
February 13, and delayed in transmits
sion: VERY severe fighting occurred on
! both our flanks near Rensberg. The
enemy greatly outnumbered our troops
being about 1900 in number. They at
tackled the Worcestershire Regiment
on their hill and. with desperate de-
termination, charged home, only to ex-
perience such a heavy Maxim and rifle
fire from our men that the death roll
of the assailants must have been con-
siderable. A patrol Of the Inniskilling
Dragons was surrounded by some 500
Beers and gallantly cut it's way
through without losing man; but a
company of New South Wales Mount
ed Infantry was unfortunately annihi-
lated, most of the mems bayonets, how
ever, bearing the impress of sanguin-
airy foes.
Colonel Conyngham was shot
through the heart at the outset of the
engagement. The enemy chose the
time of the moons setting for their on
slaught. OF five colonial officers only
one returned to camp. A strategic and
Commemorative move back to Arundel
has been decided upon. Our guns from
Coles Kop have been safely removed,
one Maxim being destroyed to prevent
it's falling into the hands of the enemy.
Nine wounded officers and thirty-fve
men were brought into the Naauwpoort
field hospital. Our death roll at pres
ent is not known"

off,"
A dispatch to the Daily Mai | from

LONDON REVIEW OF SITUATION.
Cronje Seemingly In Full Retreat
Pressure of Beers mt Rensburg.

London, Feb. II. 4:45 a. m.-General
Cronje, with a start of a day or two,
is seemingly in full retreat from Lord
Roberts moving northward. General
French, with the cavalry, simply stayed
over night In Kimberley and then push
ed on to get in touch with the retiring
enemy. A long Boer wagon train is
moving toward Bloemfontein, followed,
presumably by large force of British
infantry. In their hasty departure the
Beers lost quantities of supplies and
ammunition.
Military opinion here is that Lord
Roberts will not push far after the
Beers Immediately, because of trans
port problems and the need of rest for
the trains. He has to feed 10000 per-
sons in his army and the whole KIM
berley population. He must rebuild the
railway from Modder River to Kimber-
ley and revictual the latter.
General French lost a few men only
in action: but the forced marched and
heat have probably made many i'll.

II,

Numbers Of remounts must be. provided.
Lord Roberts has wrought genuine
preliminary success; and the impression
is that he had done enough for the pres
ent. He will need to prepare for an
other strike.
All over England tonight there have
been evidences Of subtle joy. In every
theater and public meeting place,
around the railway stations and in the
streets there have been expressions of
gladness and jubilation over the news.
The newspapers are editorially rejoic-
ing
Those who read the news closely see
only one disturbing factor in the Cape
situation and that is the pressure of the
Beers toward Lord Roberts line of sup
ply through De Aar which was never
more important than now. The Beers
under Commandants Delarey and Grob-
Ter are making a persistent effort to
penetrate to the railroads. They have
pushed General Clements back to Arun-
del and have outflanked him. All are
within sixty miles, or two days hard
march, of the central railroad. Doubt
less Lord Roberts has left considerable
forces along the line and can send back
more if necessary.
In the lobbies Of the house last even
ing it was rumored that General Butler
had again crossed the Tugela. A spe-
cial dispatch, dated two days back and
just transmitted from Chieveley, says
that an important move was then pend
ing there, although contradictions are
found in the fact that $50 ambulance
bearers have been temporarily disband-
ed and the further fact that traction
engines are arriving at Durham from
the front to be sent to Lord Roberts.
More artillery is being sent to Lord
Roberts from Cape Town.
