THREE CHILDREN
BADLY BITTEN
BY WILD CAT

Three children were viciously attacked
by a cat which either was mad or had
NJ, last evening; and the little ones
were so badly bitten that they reuired
surgical attendance.
The victims were Mary Dwyer. the g.
year-old daughter OF Thomas Dwyer Of
As Furnace street; Dora Lamarge. the 10
year-old daughter OF Napoleon Lamarge
OF AZ Furnace street and Daniel o'Reil-
ley, the 7-year-old son of jeremiah
OReilley OF go Wickenden street
They with others were at play on
Wickenden near Furnace street. when
without warning the cat, large one.
sprang into the midst OF the children,
and began 10 spit, scratch and spring at
them.
The O'Reilley boy tried TO get out OF the
way OF the animal, but tripped and fell
on his face; and before he could rise the
cat sprang upon him, sinking it's teeth
into his legs. making four deep wounds
The boy shrieked with pain and fright
and by his struggles, finally freed him-
self from the animal
The cat turned instantly upon tne
Dywer girl and bit her thumb. infiicting
The cries OF the children attracted
crowd. and the wild actions OF the cat
created much excitement; and II was
during this period that the cat jumped
at the Lamarge girl and bit her on the
leg.
Patrolman Alonzo Brown succeeded In
cornering the cat, which he held with his
foot and then shot IL dead
The children were taken TO the onlce
of DR.. G. j. Mahoney, where their
wounds were dressed.
This morning DR. Eugene +. King, dep
uty superintendent OF health sent the
head of the cat to the United states
laboratory in Wexford TO be examined
for rabies.
The cat which recently bit two children
and a woman on Broadway was sent 10
the Boston meteorological laboratory; but
all examinations thus far made developed
no traces OF rabies.
No cat I'm this city has ever been found
TO have been affected with the disease;
and IL was on this account that DR.. King
sent the cat TO Wexford.
The cat was shot In the head three
times. and was so mangled that II may be
impossible 10 examine the brain success
fully.
If the examination proves that the cat
was rabid war will probably be declared
on all stray cats. Or. King, when asked
if his department would take any such ac-
uon, replied that II would be the duty of
the chief OF police to do so.

according to the story told by Moy Lett.
the course OF true love took the Gus
tomary turn. 1t had all been plain sail
ing before. but suddenly, just as the
house OF the clergyman was reached, the
girl in the case evidently thought better
of II and started on the run down the
street. and the last the expectant groom
saw OF his lady love was when she dashed
around the corner. lie says that she
did not stop TO leave any of the pretty
things which his $40 had purchased. and
when he appeared at the police station
he asked that the police interest them
selves in the matter to the extent Of get
ting back the $50 or the things which
IL had purchased.
He was not given a great deal of salts

About Z o'clock a woman appeared
at the station and she told Capt. Vananda

GARDENING TO FORE
@ ON THE EAST SIDE

With the coming Of the warm wealth
er the East Side householders are again
searching the flower catalogs for suita-
BILE blooms to plant in this years gar
dens. The seed companies report that
a good proportion Of last week s pur-
chases were made by East Side patrons,
and that business up to date has been
very heavy.
Everywhere lawns are being planted
with grass seed, shrubs and shade trees
are undergoing the annual trimming,
and everywhere evidences of garden
making show the awakening of the out
of-door spirit among all classes, and a
renewed pride in the home grounds.
If any further proofs of this Spring
activity were needed it would only be
necessary to question the assistants in
the public libraries to learn how wide
spread and strong this spirit really is
For more than fortnight the Pillsbury
library, at First and University ave
nues Sc, has been sorely taxed to sup
ply the demand for books on flowers
birds and gardens. The library thi.
year is well supplied with this class Of
literature, but the call has been 81
great that many more copies have beer
ordered and are arriving daily to be a.
