 A dog which showed symptoms of the rabies made things hum for while this morning in the vicinity of Pasquale Di Rinzo's barber shop on Washington avenue. The dog was sitting by the side of the store and although it was acting strange ly, it was not at all vicious. But suddenly it put those in the barber shop on the jump for it started to snap and bite at everything in sight and would undoubtedly have done some harm had it not gone out when the door was opened. It darted from the barber shop into a cobbling shop ,h IF coming and was not long in grabbing a hammer and beating a tattoo on its head. It scurried from the cob bling shop and started down Wash ington avenue with several men in pursuit. The last the writer heard of it it had lost it's pursuers by going through back yards. The dog was owned by Di Rinzo.
