MAD DOG ON
EIGHTH STREET

A mad dog at noon terrified hun
dreds of persons going from work to
their monday luncheon to-oay at
Eighth street between Tatnall and
West streets, and would have undoubt-
edly found a victim for his poisonous
fangs but for the opportune appearance
of Police Sergeant Kelleher who shot
the animal after several persons had
had narrow escapes.
The animal, a medium sized shepherd
dog, was spotted by Assistant Dog
Catcher William Walls at Front and
Maryland avenue. The dog was acting
queerly and Mr.. Walls followed it.
His suspicious that the dog was mad
were confirmed when the dog ran away
in a frenzy and disappeared at West
street.
On West street the dog ran to
Eighth, where it ran into an alley and
snapped at an ice man, but did not
fasten its teeth in him. It then bit a
cat and ran out again, swapping at a
crowd Of persons who had been at
tracted. The crowd chased the dog to
Eighth Atreets-between West and Tat
nall when Sergeant Kelleher came
along. The dog was foaming at the
mouth and the sergeant lost no time in
killing it with his revolver.

Of the last representatives of tho
formidable race that manned the great

pension about 10 years with a record
as one of the best engineers inthe SER
vice Of Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. He was the ideal OF the younger
generation of cnginemen, the grand
old man" Of the rail.
Although of wonderful physique for
his age, the old engineer had at last
been borne down by MS persistent,
Bright's disease. For more than a
year he had been under its dominion,
but it was not until I'VE weeks ago
that IL brought him 10 bis bed. His
condition had grown steadily worse and
his death yesterday morning was not

his youth and in 1853 became fireman
on the Frenchtown run of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. between New Cas-
tie and Ell5ton. He then fired on the
Maryland division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
His services on the Maryland division
formed an interesting chapter of his
experiences. These were the times
when locomotives were fred with wood
and when a train was stopped between
innumerable stations on a division tc

that were none too merry for the
burly firemen who sweated in summer
over the great iron stomachs of thcii
engines and froze in winter under the
wheels when they were obliged to hali

told by the blind old engineer Of tbs
times when temporary ties and rail:
were placed over the Susquenanna
River in winter so that the trains could
go over the creaking see.
Mr.. Mcguire was fireman during the
Rebellion on many of the troop trains
going into Baltimore, when bridges
were burned by Southern sympathizers
Less exciting were his experiences
when he was made an engineer on the
run between this city and Delmar, and
on the run between New Castle and

about II years and left it when he was
retired. 1t was then that the county
