 Practice Near Boston.

7, Boston; Mass, July 16.-With eight of her officers. and crew dead and thirteen other either dying or suffering from terrible burns re- ceived in an explosion of powder in the after superinposer turret, the battleship Georgia steamed slowly up Boston Harbor from the target practice grounds in Cape Cod bay late yesterday and landed the dead and injured men at the Chrleston navy yard.

The cccident occurred shortly before noon today, while the Georgias s crew were at target practice off Barnsta- ble in Cape Cod bay. In some man. ner, yet unexplained, two bags of powder became ignited, and in the terrific flash that followed, the en- tire turret crew, numbering IS men were enveloped in fire, and received horrible burns, one officer and five men dying before the ship reached port.

 Old Custom of killing Dogs Has Not Been Revived This Summer.

So bad were the wounds inflicted by the canine that the little fellow had to be talk en to doctor to be relieved.
 There are entirely too many cur dogs running at large ill this city. Heretofore the council has instruct ed the police and special officer, employed for that purpose, to kill the dogs which were found running at large on the streets, and unlicens- ed. This is no longer the custom here.
 Mayor Toney stated this morning that unless the city council declar- ed a u0g nuisance, because of viciousness, and the police ordered to put an end to It's useless exisance the city authorities were helpless. Thy have no rig 1t to kill dogs pro- misciously, unless specially ordered by the council to resort to these methods to rid the city of it's worth less and dangerous CUTS According to Mayor Toney, who says the Su- preme Court has frequently decid \ ed the question, a dog is private kproperty and if killed by police of- Nicer or anyone else, the owner can secure damages for same.
 Mayor Toney says the city collect or is collecting all the dog licenses possible, that in the event that own- CTS reIuse to comply with law and pay the animal license fee, they can be arrested and fined in police court 5 Up to the present time, however, no arrests have been made.
 The streets of the city are overrun with CUTS of every kind and dangerous ones too. The City Council should or der all dogs killed ill cases where the owners refuse to pay license or when they cannot be ascertained' %Ch;ldrap and grown naODle as we'll are < in danger of being attacked by these vicious CUTS at most any time.
