SPREADING
TERROR IN ORLEANS

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 25.-Building by
building incendiarles have devastated
Orleans, Ontario county, N. Y, only
recently a flourishing village of $500
population. The n place of business
left standing Is the Orleans hotel, and
that is being vacated. Panic fills the
place, armed volunteers nightly patrol
the streets, citizens fearing they would
be burned alive in their beds have left
their homes, some Of which can be
bought for the price Of the cement
walks before them. A woman locked
up her house on the main street and
left town. Recently a fire destroyed
the house next door but one to hers,
another fire the house next hers. Then
she left.
There being no doubt that f1rebugs
are busy, men regard each other sus-
piciously and lifelong friends have be-
come enemies.
Pinkerton detectives, posing as farm
hands, tried to find the origin of the
oft recurring fires. After a month the
detectives went away with the strong
suspicion that the intense bitterness
between the "wets" and "drys'' over
the local option question had much to
do with the incendiarism. For most OF
the property destroyed belonged to the
"drys," who are called "bluestockings'
at Orleans.

WILD DASH AFTER.
RUNAWAY HORSE
Brave Act on Part of Unknown
Negro, Who fought Not
OF Danger.

Unthoughtful of the fame which
might have been his and. seemingly
desirous Of only giving aid. an un-
known negro last night stopped
runaway horse belonging to Leroy
Cohen, of 1907 Park Avenue. The We
hicle was unoccupied, but the negro
did not know this. for he was far be-
hind when he first saw the horse
dashing by. He was riding bicycle
at the time, and he put foot to the
pedals and rode as fast as his legs
could carry him.
Mr. Cohen's horse was being taken
to the stable, in Jackson Ward. by a
negro boy employed by him, when the
bit--a rubber bit. with thin wire run
ming through-brolee. AS the bit
snapped in twain, the animal became
thoroughly frightened; and started
off The boy climbed over the back of
the vehicle and dropped to the
ground. But the horse ran into Broad
Street, crowded at that time of the
evening, and, after narrowly missing
several street cars, turned into Grace
Street.
All the while the unknown negro
was closely pursuing. He could not
tell whether the buggy was occupied,
and seemed not to think of his own
life. AS the horse turned into Third
and Franklin and slowed down, the
negro jumped from his wheel and
caught hold of the bit The animal
broke away from the buggy, which
was left on the corner intact. carry
Ing with him only the harness. The
negro took him TO the Second Police
Station, where he was afterwards
claimed by Mr.. Cohen. He was I'M
hurt
Mr.. Cohen said that he had been out
driving with his wife all the after
noon, and had experienced no trouble.
1t was the broken bit which caused
the runaway broken bit of rubber.
which the horse had evidently chewed
in half.
Mr.. Cohen gave the unknown negro
tip for his york. ,and then the lat

.EMMET TAYLOR
COMES TO RESCUE
Doubts Authority Of County
Treasurer to Send Burch
Out to Slaughter.

by what right" asked z. c. Taylor,
agent for the Society for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals, has Treas
urer Hechler, of Henrico county, to
order that Constable Burch go forth
with double barreled shotgun and
shoot all dogs that carry no license
tag around their necks?" Mr.. Taylor,
who is noted for his efficient work for
the society which he represents, was
decidedly wrought up over the matter
last night.
Il would like to know he said,
what authority Mr.. Hechler has for
such an edict. The law distinctly says
that no dog, unless disabled or attlict
ed with the rabies, may be killed, and
yet Mr.. Hechler has ordered Constable
iBurch to go out with a shotgun and
kill all the dogs which do not carry a
medal. That gives him the right to
kill all dogs which are not licensed,
whether they are diseased or not, and
then they come to me and talk about
humanity to animals"
or course, there is some law which
bears on the legal disability of unli-
censed dogs. but Mr.. Taylor says that
there is no statute under which they
can be slaughtered with immunity
without first giving the dogs a hear
ing, without first giving them chance
to show whether they have the rabies
or not
IF there be any poor and needy per-
son." said Agent Taylor, who lacks
the money wherewith to buy O. medal
for his dog, let him apply to me, and
Will see that the dog is properly dec
grated for the inspection of all the
officers, There are lots OF people VINO
have valuable dogs which have not
been licensed, and IL necessary we Will
pay for the medal. We don't propose
to see these dogs killed without a
chance, for then what good would the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
TO Animals do? Let these people come
to US, and let Mr.. Hechler show us
his authority for telling his constable
to shoot all unlicensed dogs on sight"
