KILLING OFF DOES.
Some Enemy of the Canines in the
 North End of Town.

There is evidence that a hater Of dogs is roaming about the North end. Michael J. Carney of Beacon street owned a handsome St Bernard, which he appreciated good deal on account of its companionship to his children. Every owner of dog values 1t on account of some particular element Of character it possesses, but MT Car ney's was appreciated by all the neigh borhood. Therefore, when it was found dead a few mornings ago It was immediately taken for granted that some hater of dogs had been Ill the vicinity during the night time- Captain Moore of the Burton street engine house bought small dog a week ago that would live many years before 1t would be seer and yellow. This was a musical dog and it could make more faces at the full moon; not that the dog was by any means Ned Murphy aog, but it was merely built that way One of the firemen was thinking about getting these faces pat ented or copyrighted, for he saw great money in them by selling them to some pantomime company. The Xxi ralfy Bros could retire from business In a month after a season with these faces. The dog was happy in the eel lar of the house, and everything point ed to its enjoying long and content ed life there unless its faces killed it or someone. One day. the captain was greatly surprised to receive a notice from the powers that be ordering him to remove the dog and its faces off the premises because "a neighbor
 complained of them. Inquiry showed that none of the neighbors complained of the dog. in fact, some of them did not know that such an animal was in the vicinity, and the presumption is that some of the firemen got joke on the captain or that the fellow who killed MT Carney's dog took these means to rid the neighborhood of it. One thing is certain. none of the neighbors ever complained of the dog; many of them did not know such an animal was in the engine house.

 Assessment.

Assessment.
 < New Haven. Aug 16.-Local Knights of Columbus circles are considerably agitated over the report sent out from the adjourned meeting of the national convention holden in Plattsburg, N. Y., for the past two days. which in effect reiterates the statement that the con- vention has adopted what is known as the step rate plan, a graded system of insurance where the premiums are proportioned to the risk. This natur- ally will have the effect of increasing the rates of interest in the order. [
 There are at present 3s00O members of the Knights of Columbus in this city and over 5000 in the state. The order found it's birth in this city and if an increase ill the rates of insurance has been decided upon to apply to all members. Connecticut members will be the greatest sufferers.
 The order is older in this state than any other and naturally the members are older. the formation of the first branch being recorded some 20 years ago.
 If a proportionate rate is adopted the local members will be among those who will be obliged to bear the briint of the burden in the matter of assess ment.
 Inasmuch as many members in this city are from 15 to 20 years older than when they first took out their insur- ance, many consider that the difficult ties that will attend their securing policies in regular life companies will be insurmOuntable and therefore they will have been deprived of just so much resting heretofore on the assurance held out at~the formation of the order that stipulated assessment on the basis agreed upon would carry the order suc- cessfully. In accordance with that plan each member was assessed at a given sum according to his age, which it was believed would assure a safe plan with out any increase in the matter of as- sessment. It is for that reason that the action of the convention sitting at Plattsburg has created much surprise.
 It was conceded on all sides that the question of increasing the rates of in surance was a vital one particularly to the members in Connecticut. if it were applied to the organizers and earlier members of the fraternity. It is presumed by some of the members that the increase would only apply to new members. but this does not appear to be the sense of the convention, ac- cording to the reports of it's doings sent out and discussed generally throughout the state.

CHAR MAKES cAMPBELL OFFER. Veteran Turfman Says He Is Wanted
 to Care for Imperial Stables.

Helena, Mont, Aug 16.-John Camp bell. the veteran racing man, whose stables won the Brooklyn handicap in 1892 and 1893, and who has a string of horses at Butte, says that he has re- ceived an offer from the czar of Rus sia to take charge of his training sta- bles at St Petersburg. The czar, he says, has offered him, through an agent, $10,000 a year and 10 per cent of the winnings of his horses. MT Campbell says he has not accepted the offer and may not do so, as one of the conditions of the contract is that neither he nor any of the jockeys un- der him shall place money on races in which the imperial stables are inter- ested. Not knowing who his assist ants may be, he fears he cannot accept liability for them.
