 Bridgeport, Oct, 11.-Off stratford shoals at s:so o'clock this morning the Joy line steamer Larchmourt crashed into the two-masted lumber schooner D. I. Melanson of Tusket, N. S, about midships, on the starboard side, dis abling the sailing vessel, which was abandoned by her crew of five men for a time, as all expected her to sink. The hold filled with water, but the lun1- Der kept the schooner afloat. She is now in the harbor here awaiting the dispo- sition of her owners.

DOGS CHASTITY FIND
HEAD OF A CHILD
A Mystery That Is PuzzIing the Coro
ner at anapolis-Some
Theories.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 25.--A large
ferOciOus dog belonging to William
Barr entered the family home Satur-
day night carrying the head of a three
year-Old child in it's mouth which had
apparently been jerked from the
child's body while it was alive. The
case was reported to the coroner this
morning. He has now gone to the
home of the Barrs which is four miles
distant from the center of the city.
The police are of the opinion that Barr
was afraid to report the case because
the dog belonged to him.
The Barrs are Germans, unable to
speak English and unfamiliar with
American customs. The coroner did
not know what action to take until
told by a friend this morning. Further
examination of the childs head leads
to the belief that the child was prob
ably a year old. The coroner's theory
is that the body was purposely aban
doned on the lonely commons and
frozen or benumbed into unconscious
ness by the cold. The dog found the
body in this condition and tore it to
pieces. The commons is covered with
snow today preventing the finding of
the remainder of the body.

of the pit the air is heavy with deadly
fire damp in such volumes as to cause
the gravest fears for the safety of the
entOmber miners. 1t is believed none
is alive. 1t is reported that efforts
made to communicate with them have
proven futile. Attempts were made
late this afternoon to force air through
the shafts, thus relieving the gas, If
any We're still alive below. The force
Of the explosion is illustrated by the
fact that the pit mule was blown from
the bottom of the shaft out through
the opening and 100 feet into the air
Before the debris settled back and
closed, the shaft there came a huge
gust of flame. The Tipple building at
the top of the shart was blown to frag-
mnets. The scene around the shaft is
distressing as nearly all the entOmbed
miners had large families.
