Toward the evening of the third

enemy and victim.
The first that blocked his way into
the chapel, a bellboy of the hotel,
looked round at the first touch of the
claw-like hand upon his shoulder and
shrank back with cry of terror-a
cry that was echoed from half a
dozen threats within another instant.

cleared way for Seneca Urine, ia

And as the way opened and he
looked up toward the altar and saw
Alan standing hand In hand with
Rose while the minister invoked a
blessing upon the union that had been
but that instant cemented, added
strength, the strength of the insane,
was given to Seneca Urine.
When Alan, annoyed by the dis.
turbance in the body of the chanel.
looked round, it was to see the aged
maniac standing within a dozen feet
Of him; and as he looked and cried
out in wonder, Urine whipped a re-
yolver from the pocket of his dressing
gown and swung 1t steadily to bear
upon Alan's head.
At that instant the storm broke
with Internal fury upon the land.
A crash of thunder So heavy and
prolonged that it seemed to rock the
very building upon its foundations,
accompanied the SCATTERING of a huge

Crescent City Defeats Seville.
by e. c. Braddock.

Lakeside Park was the scene of
lively ball game Friday afternoon,
when the team representing Seville
hooked up with the locals in a seven
inning game, the home boys emerging
at the big end of 9 to score.
There were very few errors, consid-
ering the short practice of the two
teams Prevatt started in to pitch for
Seville, but was not in his usual form,
he being unable to get the ball past
the big bats of Crescent City's wreck
ing crew. Richardson then assumed
the pitching burden with only mod
crate success. Branch pitched great
ball for Crescent City during his stay
in the box, but finally grew tired and
hoisted the distress signal. Herlong
answered the call and promptly put a
damper on the aspirations of the Wis
itors. The big boy seemed to have all

When he turns one loose he likes to

NAVAL GUN VIBRATION.
Conditions on a WarshiP When Heavy
Firing Is In Progress.

The average civilian has very
vague idea as to the conditions inside
a turret OH a war vessel while heavy
firing is going on.
The greatest force of the vibration
from the firing of gun is naturally
Just outside the muzzle, and that Is
outside the turret. So terrific is this
vibration that If severe precautions
were not taken the deck under the
muzzle would be ripped to pieces,
sheet iron doors would be wrenched
from their hangings and skylights
shattered. To guard against these eff
fects the deck under the gun muzzle Is
REINFORCED with steel plates about an
inch thick and skylights are taken of
and replaced with coverings Of armor

OF course a very considerable roar
and jar are felt inside the turret Men

Special to The World
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-The dis
ease known as black tongue, which is
apparently peculiar to the southern
states, results in a heavy mortality
among dogs in that section Many
valuable hunting dogs have been lost
from this cause. Recent reports indi-
cate its occurrence IN Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida. Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, Okla
hom1. South Carolina, Tennessee
Texas Virginia, and the District Of
Columbia.
As the name indicates. there is an
inhamcd and swollen condition of the
tongue, which may assume a dark
color such Inflammation is not con-
fined TO the tongue, but may involve
the membranes Of the mouth gcner,-
ally and extend to the throat caus-
ing great difficulty i'm swallowing In
fact usually the first symptoms OBJ
served by owners of affected dogs are
the profuse flow of saliva from the
mouth disincGnation to masticatc
food and difficulty i'm swallowing. The
breath becomes offensive, the animal
is more or less foyorish, and as the
disease progresses, he becomes greatly

being aggravated through inability Of
the dog to take uourishmcnt
Same as TNphus
Various investigators have consid-
cred the disease identical with the So
called typhus Of dogs as occurrina in
Europe; others have attributed il to
the eating Of putrid carCdssos i'm the
field believing that infection takes
place through wounds in the mouth
from eating bones with sharp points.
As the germ Of necrosis has been
found i'm the mouth in certain of
these cases. it has been assumed by
