PREACHERS TRIBUTE 10 DOG
or which the killing Helped 10 Ds Away
with a Mont clair Police Order:

MoNTCLAIR, n. j., Jan S.-The Rev
John W. Pritchard of 1 Holland terrace
has appealed to the citizens of MontcIair
to judge the character of the city's act
in killing his dog Duke. which was shot
by the police when it was found in tho
streets without a muzzle, as prsscribed by
ordinance.
The dog was killed before ths recent
revocation Of the edict requiring that the
police kill all unmuzzled dogs at sight
but the Rev. Mr. Pritchard has been stirred
up by the sorrow of his children over tho
loss of their pet In his public statement
denouncing the killing OF the dog. which
is accompanied by "a portrait Of the animal
the Rev. Mr. Pritchard says:
DuEs was for more than two years our
household pet and the playfellow of all the
children in the neigh borhood. I paid his
license to secure for him the city's proteo-
ton. yet with the tag and number Of his
license attached to tho collar about his
neck the city ruthlessly and deliberately
killed him. Duke usually wore a rnuzzIe
40 securely fastened that human help was
required to loosen it, but on the day before
he was shot the muzZle was stolen from
his neck and he came in from his play seeU,-
ingly crying over the loss of il. The next
day. before / could get him a new nluzzle
he slipped out OF the house, and as he fire.
auently did, started or to the homes of my.
dau ghters TO visit them. En- route the City'S
officers wayleid and killed him.
ask the citizens OF Montolair to look at
the picture OF MY dog and Judge OF the
character OF the oity's act in killing him.
The ordinance authorizing the iudiscrimi-
nate manning and killing of the dogs on
the public streets was an insane tragedy
No home with either faithful Watchdog
or a family pet has been safe from the
raVages OF this fool ordinance or free from
hearts heavy with foreboding lest their
dog might be the next victim or grievinR
over the havoc the policemen's bullets have
wrought. How relatively few are the cases
OF mad dog" to those OF nervous prostra-
tion occRsiOned among wives mothers and
children by this public and brutal slaughter
On account of the general Indignation
over the killing of the Pritchsrd dog and
other pets the shooting order was revoked

Church of the Covenanters.

by some that this piece had its origin

IL Is said that an employee OF the Bechtler
mint In 1S49 made a set of dies for a series
Of coins OF the usual United States de-
nominations with the intention OF going
to California and engaging in private
coinage. No other information regarding
hls subsequent operations can be found,

OF this Pelican Company piece to that

It is thought il may have been struck

Inspector General OF the National Sol

spent most OF his time in this city, al
though he had a residence in OgdensbuTg
He was active in his duties and was daily

Several years ago he wrote for the

For years Gen. Curtis was especially
the State Legislatures to abolish the
death penalty. He believed that the
abolition of the death penalty would
decrease the number OF murders and that
very frequently juries rather than return
n verdict which meant death for an
accused person would disagree or give
a verdict OF not guilty. permitting the
defendant TO escape all punishment
for a palpable crime. While Gen. Curtis

an attack upon the United States steamship
Housatonio. which was guarding the north
channel to the harbor.
Volunteers were again forthcoming and
the Hunley was towed out through Breach
Inlet to the open sea. There she was left
to proceed alone, the men at the propeller
shaft furnishing her motive power They
attained a speed of three knots, and at
this rate began to bring their victim within
the fatal range Of the Hunley.
Suddenly there rang out from the deck
OF the Housatonio hoarse hail flung by
the lookout to what he at first took for a
floating plank"-but he was not sure
That hail was the signal for a titanic burst
OF physical effort by the desperate men
within the Hunley. The remaining hatch
was closed preparatory to the final dive.
By the time the officer on the deck Of the
Housatonic had discovered that this mys-
terious black object moving steadily to-
ward him was no hoating plank. it was too
late to depress any gun sufficiently to
bring II to bear upon the Hunley The
men were quickly called to quarters and a
futile musketry fire rained down upon the
destroyer-oninous warning TO the men
within her.
The Housatonio slipped her cable and
attempted to make full speed astern. Then
there was a dull report The sea rose like
a geyser just forward OF the Housatonic's
mainmast. The Hunley had done her
work.
There remained only to anchor the bell
buoy which has since warned mariners to
avoid this graveyard Of the harbor No
trace was found Of the Hunley or of her
crew. Within nine months after the trag-
edy Lieut.. w. l.. Churchill. Y. s. N, had
the harbor dragged for q radius OF 500
yards around the wreck. He found no
trace Of the torpedo boat.
Whether she was buried beneath her
victim or succeeded in diving under the
Housatonic. only to be blown offshore by
the wind prevailing Mt the time. no one
knows. She had completed her career,
and somewhere on the bottom Of the sea
remain the last traces OF what had been the
tomb Of near half q hundred heroes.
