L1rTLE GIRL HAS RABIEs.
Thought Dog Was in Play and Was
 Bitten Three Times.

New York. April 21.-Clara Shefford, 3 years old. of>Lenoir, s. C., said to be the daughter of wealthy planter. has been brought to this city to be treated at the Pasteur Institute for hydrophobia. The physician in charge of the institute re- fuses to disclose the Christian name of the girls father.
 She owned q big St Bernard dog. and was very fond of it. About q week ago the dog got the rabies and bit twelve sheep in a field near the homestead and then ran to the house. Little Clara was on the back porch and thought the dog was rubE ing to greet her. She went to meet him and threw her arms about him.
 The dog growled and then snapped at the girl. She became frightened and started to go indoors. The maddened an- Imal knocked her down and bit her on both arms and the back of the right leg before she was rescued by her father.

THE COAL ROADS CASE
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
 MISSION MEETS.
William R. Hearst Complains That the Lines Hauling Anthracite Have Violated the Laws
 of the Nation.

New York. April M.-The Interstate Commerce Commission sat in this city today to consider the complaint of Will liam R, Hearst that certain coal carrying roads are violating the Interstate Com merce Law. The defendant roads are the Philadelphia and Reading, the Lehigh Valley, the Central of New Jersey. the New York. Susquehanna and Western, the Delaware and Hudson, the Pennsyl- yania, and the Baltimore and Ohio. The specific complaints of Mr. Hearst are that the roads charge unreasonable rates; that they uniustly discriminate in favor of the bituminous against the an- thracite coal companies. and that they have contrived in violation of the anti pooling section of the Interstatei Com merce Law to discriminate against the independent coal mining companies in fa- vor of the companies controlled by the railroads.
 The commission is also to consider while here the old case of the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association, and the Chi cago Live Stock Association against the Chicago local transfer tax which calls for the payment of g per car for cattle transferred from the termini of the Vest ern Railroad in Chicago to the Union stoeK yards. At the first hearing on that subject the Commission ordered reduc-. ton of the tax from g 0 H per car. | That ruling was submitted to the United States Supreme Court. which sent the | whole case back to the Interstate Com merce Commission for more evidence. The Delaware and Hudson, Erie, Dela- ware, Lackawanna and Western, Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia and Reading. Jer- sey Central md Ontario and Western companies entered appearances. No am swers were received when the Commits sion asked who represented the Pennsyl- vania and Baltimore and Ohio companies. Counsel for the complainant opened the proceedings by reading a long list of the witnesses he had subpoened and expects | to examine. Most of them are officers of the different railroads and they are called upon to produce certain contracts be- tween their roads and the different coal companies. The lawyers present replied for a majority of those called, that they l were within telephone call and would at- tend whenever wanted. They also prom
 ised to produce any hooks or papers call | ed for.
 Counsel for the railroads objected to the | table of tariffs submitted by the com plainant and alleged that 1t was full oi
 blunders, absolutely misleading and in- expertly drawn. After much argument
 the Commission accepted the table sub- | feet to correction by auditors of the com panies.
 The complainant also submitted the
 original tariff schedules of the railroads
 on coal and pig iron and statistics taken from the annual report of the Commis-
 sion showing the average tariff per gross | ton per mile on the different railroads in the United States. Most of the after
 noon was devoted to reading figures from these reports.
 The Commission adjourned until to-
 ! morrow.

FREMONT. Neb.. Feb. 3.-The telephone
trouble has not reached an acute stage yet,
but from all indications 1t will reach the
courts very soon. AS decided by the coun-
Gil. Street Commissioner Mackey yesterday
notified p. B. Cummings, local manager Of
the Bell company, not to do any repairing
or put in any further extension OF line or
new phones. Mr.. Cummings intimated
that he should not stop work until he was
actually compelled TO. He has several men
regularly employed repairing and doing
general line work, ard yesterday they were
about their work as usual. 1t is expected
that the next move will be in the police
court in the shape of a complaint for OBJ

that an injunction suit will follow. Some
OF the patrons OF the Bell company con-
slider the action Of the council more strin-
