DOG po1soNER ABROAD.
Valuable Animals the Victims in All
Cases

A large proportion of the residents OF
Alexandria county, Va, with oood in their
eyes, are searching for the parties who nave
been making a practice of poisoning val
liable dogs. For several years past the peo-
pie who occupy summer homes in the coun-
ty, and some of the older residents, have
been considerably annoyed by the loss of
their dogs. The animal that is selected
for sacrifice is never a common, ordinary,
cur dog of the mongrel variety. Their VIC
Tins are dogs which have been carefully
bred and trained-an:mals that are held at
high value in the esteem and affection OF
their masters and members Of the respec-
tive households. ~
1t has become apparent during the past
two or three years that Alexandria county
is bad place for dogs Of the better sort.
The animal will invariably be poisoned.
One family owned a handsome specimen OF
the ST. Bernard breed several months ago.
This dog was not thoroughbred, but was
almost so. and had been reared most care
fully by It's owner. 1t was a gentle. kind
animal and had no vicious traits. yet 1t
came under the ban of the pOisoner. and Its
life was forfeited. Last night another cas-
of precisely the same character occurred
by Mrs. E. T. Schutt was poisoned-with
paris green it is thought-and died In great
agony. This animal had not been permit
ted to run at large, except when accom-
panied by one of the members of the fam
lily, because Mrs Schutt has lost several
valuable dogs by the same means. In TINS
case, as in all the others of which note has
been made, the dog was one which had
been carefully reared from the time he was
a puppy, and was without a single vicious
trait. He was the plaything Of all the chill
dren in the neighborhood and was their
protector on excursions to the surrounding
country.
Mrs Schutt intends to take steps to bring
the matter to the attention of the county
authorities as this kind of vandalism Is not
only annoying but means the loss OF money
to persons who have invested in valuable
animals to have them killed on as one
would a mosquito 1t Is said that the dog
killings all occur about this time in the
year. and suspicious have been aroused
against several persons in the neighbor-
hood.

Rapid Growth of Verdure.

The rapidfty with which land reclaimed
from the river becomes covered with a
green growth is shown on the mud walls
thrown up few weeks ago around the
portion of the fats to be reclaimed from
the Eastern branch. Although the banks
have been above the surface of the water
but little over month they are covered
by waving mass of green bushes, which
from the decks of the passing steamers
look as if they had been growing all sum-
mer. On the new land recently made about
the Washington barracks the green bushes
are developing rapidly and will soon COM
pletely hide the earth from sight.
