jerome Kennedy, fourteen years old, OIL
No 35S York street, son of Warren Ken
nedy, was taken to the City Hospital last
night suffering with commissions. It was
thought that he had been attacked by
hydrophobia On November 4, week
ago today, youn Kennedy was bitten by
a young setter dog. He was sitting at
a table writing and the dog had been
eating from plate on the floor off in one
corner of the room. The dog is thought
to have belonged to Thomas Hogan, Of
No 45s Grand street.
After the dog finished eating it ran over
to young Kennedy, sprang upon him and
fastened it's teeth in his right jaw. It also
bit him in the arm before Mrs. Kennedy
could drive it off. The dog was frothing
slightly at the mouth.
Mr.. kennedy took the dog down TO the
Morris Canal and drowned it.. DR.. Ed
ward Mulvaney cauterized the wounds
The boy went to No. 3 School next day
with his face all bandaged. He was few
erish and Principal Breasinger sent him
home.

with convulsions. He frothed at the
mouth mad chewed the pillows. DR.. Mul-
vaney was again called, as was also q

storing the boy to rational condition

of Assistant Postmaster Wooliey, were
being used for the purpose Of promoting

The Woolley Investigation was SO far
successful in developing evidence OF
offensive partisanship that Woolley was
compelled to resign his position as chair
man of the County Republican Committee
and of the city Republican Committee,
the alternative being, it is understood,
the loss of his head as a Federal office
holder
The Civil Service officials have been led

CHILDREN'S HOME
Annual Appeal for Funds
for One Of the City's
Worthy Institutions
TREASURY EXHAUSTED
Financial Statement Showing
the Great Need OF Liberal
Patrons.
TREASURY EXHAUSTED

The trustees Of the Children's Home OF
this city are making their annual appeal
for funds. which are sadly needed for thai
worthy institution. The treasury is about
exhausted and as the officers say they
have more unpaid bills than cash to meet
them. In addition to that state Of things
there IS note for loan Of $500 to meet,
debt contracted because the peopie
have forgotten the home. Last year the
same kind of appeal was made to 1.0o0
representative families mad the responses
were too few Only 162 Of that number
responded. Some gave 81, others 81, 81, 50,
sl0 SIS and very few gave $50 and 500,
but the sum realized was not half enough
to meet the annual expenses and the re-
suit was that the managers had to Dor
row. or the eight people who gave Slou
each six were trustees, and they not only
DO the work Of the institution, which as
one readily irnagines. is no sinecure, but
have to pay the bills to boot
This charity is one of the most de-
serving in the city and most worthy Of
support, beo1use it provides for litt's
boys and girls who cannot help them
selves. The home is poor and pressingiy
needs support, and it is wholly sustained
by the voluntary contributions of charit-
able people, This sketch of this institu-
ton ought to appeal to the fiintiesf
hearted

pany was acquitted in the Court Of Gen
eral Sessions yesterday afternoon Of al
legged conspiracy to defraud the company
into issuing a $500 policy Of insurance on
the life Of Vincent Prisco Frisco, who
was tried and acquitted last week, APP
peared as witness for the State and
testified that Maxwell had told him to
substitute Silvio Detello for himself when
the medical examiner called. The defence
proved that Maxwell was not present
when the examination took place, and
that testimony, it is believed went far
to influence the jury's verdict.
