 ugly wound. The girl suffered much from shock, but after the injury was cauterized at the office of Dr Calla- ehan she was able to proceed on her way. The dog belongs in the neigh borhood and the owner would make no mistake in getting rid of it as soon as possible The bite of dog is dan Rerous at any time, but more so in this season than at any other time There is feeling in the public mind that dogs have too much liberty in Waterbury. Half of them are not registered and besides many of their owners make no effort to teach them how to behave. Nobody should keep dog that shows disposition to be vicious. During the past half year dozen or more persons have been bit ten by dogs and it would seem that it was high time for the authorities to give the matter some consideration. The law is plain on this question and the police should be requested to give It more attention than they do. Hu- man beings are treated to ride in the patrol wagon for trivial offenses. bul members of the brute creation appear to be free agents. It is not right to see people fighting their way past dogs on the public streets and the an noyanee would be greatly minimized If the police made it point to inquire who owns these pets and ordered them to call of their dogs if they didn't want to get into trouble.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Mrs Cobb Mistook Her Husband for a
 Burglar, Is Arrested.


 Royston. Ga, Aug 1I.-When the grave of State Senator w. H. Cobb who was shot to death on the veranda of his home at midnight on Tuesday, had been filled yesterday afternoon, an officer stepped up to Mrs Cobb and arrested her on the charge of murder ing her husband. Mrs Cobb took her arrest calmly and denies that she is guilty of murder, though she admits that she killed her husband
 Mrs CObb's story Is that she was awakened by noise at the window of her room, saw man and, thinking he was a robber. fired twice with pistol. The man fell and then she dis covered that she had killed her hus- band. Mrs Cobb also said that her husband was somnambulist. and she supposed he was walking in his sleep when she killed him.
 It developed yesterday. however. that Senator Cobb was not at home Tuesday night until just before the tragedy. He had been warned to watch his home, AS there was visitor fin his absence. and he left on Tuesday ostensibly for Atlanta. but told close friend that he would return unexpect- edly at night to see if there were grounds for the rumors about visi- tor.
 Senator Cobb arrived here few minutes before midnight. went to his home and was killed on the porch at the window of his wife's room. The theory of the state is that there was a man in the room. but his name has not been divulged. Mrs Cobb Is beauti- i full woman and much younger than her dead husband.

RESULTS FROM FILTRATION
Evidence of Its Value Shown in the Water System of One
 Big City.

Recent statistics of typhoid fever in
 Philadelphia furnish evidence of the
 value of the filtration of the water
 supply which amounts to positive dem
 onstration, says the Philadelphia Led
 ger. In a portion of West Philadel-
 phia still supplied in part with unf1l-
 tered water there were, during four
 months of the present year, 273 cases
 of typhoid fever in a population of
 l40,5l7, or onein 514. In theadjoining sec
 tion, supplied entirely from the Belmont
 Altering plant. there were but seven
 cases in a population of 41,424, or one In 5,917.
 A similar contrast is shown in the northwestern portion of the city. The Germantown and Peterborough dis trict is supplied with filtered water from the Peterborough beds. In this district, with population of 113,75o. there were 37 cases of typhoid fever, or one in 3,074 In two neighboring wards. receiving unfiltered water, in a population of s9.142, there were 132 cases of typhoid. or one in every 675. In the northeastern section, supplied with unfiltered water from the Della ware. 1,o35 cases of typhoid fever oc- cured in population of IA s0s-the appalling proportion of one in 140. The difference between the two extremes of ratio shown by these figures repre- sent, in the whole population. the diff ference between 9.240 cases of typhoid fever and only 220 cases-or exactly l2 to 1. If we leave the worst re- suits from the unfiltered Delaware out of consideration, we have still the con- -rast that among 567 people drinking he ordinary water from the Schuyl- | kill there has occurred this year one ,ase of typhoid fever, while there was put one case among 3.596 persons us- ng the same water filtered. In other words, the filtration of water has re- luced the liability to typhoid fever B per cent.
