A FEROCIOUS BEAST.
A Child Killed by a Dog and Its Mother
."- Seriously Injured.
Montreal, Aug. 26. The little son of
Homer Trechet, of 103 St Hubert street,
of this city, was bitten ' to death by a
ferocious dog last night. When the
frantic mother of the child endeavored
to drive the dog away, he attacked her,
and only desisted when cut to pieces by
a neighbor who came to her assistance.
Mr. Frechet, who is an amateur fancier,
recently purchased three dogs', one of
which was a cross between a hound and
a bulldog. The latter was considered
peaceable, and gave no signs of being
dangerous.
Shortly after 7 o'clock last night, while
Mrs. Frechet was entertaining a visitor,
she beard her four-yaar-old son, who
was playing in the yard, scream. Rush
ing to the .window, she was horrified to
Bee the dog attacking tne child, ana
tearing great-pieces of flesh from its
body, s With . all the heroism of a
mother s daring, the woman new to the
rescue,. The sight she saw was a horri
ble one. The boards of the yard were
covered with blood, while pieces of flesh
were scattered around. Though faint
ing,! she attacked the infuriated beast,
and a terrifiic struggle ensued. -
It was an unarmed woman against a
demon, and she was fast being overcome
by the brute, when J. B. Masse, who re
sided near by, came to her assistance.
At this moment the woman fainted and
the dog turned his attention to the new
intruder. Another desperate battle en
sued, but Masse was armed with a knife
which he wielded to good purpose, but
the dog: having secured a grip on the
man never let go till its head was nearly
severed from its body.' Medical assist
ance was summoned but the child was
bevond all human aid and soon expired,
The face was unrecognizable, while over
a dozen pieces' of flesh had' been torn
from the body. The injuries sustained
by Mrs. Frechet and Masse, while ser
ious, are not fatal.

Trials and Troubles of the Czar
to Es
' cape Assassination.
London, Aug. 26. A Copenhagen
dispatch says that the czar is surrounded
with more restrictions than on his pre
vious visits to . Denmark. I ne reason
for this is not made public, but rumors
are rife of fear of nihilists..! It is known
to the Russian police that many of the
exiled Jews swore Vengeance, against the
czar in person, after they, bad got safely
bevond " the ' frontier, and . that " these
threats were not passing, expressions of
anger. There is 'no place where the
cear exposes himself as freely as in Den-
marKr, and tnere nas undoubtedly been
some ' apprehension that - bis enemies
would take advantage of this fact. : At
an v rate since the czar's arrival, the
police have been active in protecting the
royal and imperial party from too near
populace contact and the guards at the
palace are doubled.
A Deplorable Financial Condition.
City of Mexico, Aug. 27. The finan

Honduras, is a small-pox epidemic.

FORTY PEOPLE KILLED
A Train Jumps the Track on a Trestle
Killing About Forty Passengers
and Wounding Many More.
The Chilian Situation What the Minis
ter at Washington Has to Say A
A Fatal Street Fight
Statesville, N. C, Aug. 27. The
western bound passenger train on the
western iJdrth Carolina railroad jumped
a trestle near here early this morning.
The train plunged into a ravine 200 feet
in depth, dashing the cars into splinters..
At least forty passengers were killed out
right. The wounded number twenty
five, and many of them will die.
Thirty-six dead bodies have so far
been recovered from the wreck. No
names are known yet.
SITUATION IN CHILI.
What the Chilian Minister Has
to Say
Regarding It.
Washington, D. C, Aug, 27. '
'The
war is over,"' said Senor Pazano, the
Chilian minister. Commenting on the
cable dispatch received from Chili and
Foreign Minister Fostor, the insurgent
repres etative said he received the follow
ing cablegram late last night : "Iquique,
Aug. 26. Notices inspired by dictators
agents in- lime are absolutely without
authorization." Foster further said in
case the insurgent party were defeated it
onlv meant the prolongation of the war
and that the insurgent lorce would be
increased in every possible way and the
dictators fought to the end.
The Insurgents Defeated.
Washington, Aug. 27. The Chilian
minister at Washington today received
a cablegram dated Valparaiso, Aug. 26,
saving that on the 25th the insurgent
armv was completely defeated in Vino
del Mai-. A division of the Chilian gov
ernment army cut off their retreat to
ships and obliged .them to surrender un
conditionally.
His Triumph Complete. v
. London, Aug. 27: The Telegraph this
morning publishes a statement of a pri
vate cablegram from Pcesident Balm a
ceda to the Chilian Legatjpn declaring
ms tnumpn complete.
The Report Confirmed.
Pabjs, Ang. 27. A dispatch received
by the Chilian legation in this city from
Buenos Ayres confirms the report that
the insurgent forces surrendered to Bal
maceda. ' - : '
Killed In a Street Fight.
Georgetown, Ky., Aug. 27. In i
street fight today with Milton Kennell
and his four sons, A.J.Montgomery and
two brothers named Jarvis were killed
The Kennells were desperadoes ; and the
wildest excitement prevails.
A POOR POLITICIAN.
He is Eqnally Unsuccessful as a Newn
paper Correspondent.
London, Aug. 26. Lord Bandolph
Churchill, after making a failure of pol
itics, has scored an equally poor record
as a special newspaper - correspondent.
His letters from Africa to the Graphic,
besides proving a disapointment to his
admirers at home, have raised a good
deal of ill-feeling in South Africa, where
they have been reprinted by the Cape
Argut, through an arrangement with the
Graphic. The Amateurish letters, the
hasty production of a rather callous
traveler, are criticised as indigested, but
what is worse, they are full of insulting
references to colonists, though it is no
torious that the latter ' have exerted
themselves to the utmost to show a gen- i
nine friendliness to the visitor. Eng
land merely laughs at tha lettt r, but not
so Africa, who resents the lack of com
mon politeness involved in insulting
those whose hospitality the writer has
accepted.
Trampled to Death.
Tangiebs, Aug. 26". The elephant pre
sented by Queen Victoria to the snltan
of morocco is being utilized by that - po
tentate at Fez in trampling the life out
of the unfortunates taken captive in the
recent rebellion.
The sultan is highly pleased with this
new mode of crushing his enemies, and
has a new lot brought on every day.
They are laid in a row and the elephant
is made to step on them. The strange
animal has struck terror into the Moors,
who never saw one before, both on ac
count of its size and the interesting use
to which it is being put by the sultan.
One step is said to be enough if applied
in the right place. .
The Effect of the McKlnley BUI. v
Berlin, Aug. 27. Exports from the
consular district of Chemnitz from
January to July show a decrease of
nearly 60 per cent., due to the operation
of the"McKinley law.

GAMBLING SCHEME.
Proposition for the World's Fair
Commissioners.
New Yokk, Aug. 26. A special to
the Herald from Chicago says : "Henri
P. Omaged, of Monte Carlo, represent
ing the great gambling interests there,
has been in Chicago three or four days,
and it is said that his mission is to make
a proposition to the world's fair people
for the establishment of a facsimile of
the famous Monaco gambling house here
during the Columbian exposition. Ac
cording to the story, Mr. Omaged is
authorized to purchase $1,000,000 of
world's fair bonds for cash and offer one
third of the gross receipts of the gambl
ing table to the fair "directors for the
privilege sought. In addition he guar
antees the erection of a building to cost .
$1,000,000, wherein the gambling is to
be carried on. Tnere are two drawbacks
to the scheme, one being that the laws
against gambling are very severe and the
other is that the directors would not
dare to accept owing to the howl it
would raise. It is reported that M.
Omage submitted his scheme to one of
the Chicago fair commissioners now
abroad and was advised to come to
Chicazo which he proceeded to do, land
ing in New York last Thursday and ar
riving here on Saturday.
ENGLISH EFFORTS FAIL.
To Create Any III Feeling Between
Chill and the United States.
London, Aug. 26. The efforts of the
London Time to arouse jealousy on the
part of the South American republics to
ward the United States have not aroused
the feeling intended, judging from the
remarks made today by an attache of the
Chilian' legation who said "the United
States has respected the rights of Chili
more faithfully, or at least as faithfully
as any nation in the world, and the fact
has made a deep impression, which can
not fail to be favorable to the great
North American republic. The senti
ment toward America has undergone, so
I learn, an essential and important
change in Chili. Europeans have been
the most active abettors of the rebellion,
and of the three men executed at Val
paraiso for leading a pilot to destroy the
Imperial, one was a naitve of Great
Britian and another of Austria. If
Europe had acted as the United States
has acted, the. war would have been over
long ago and peace restored in Chili."
As to the latest story of alleged cruelty
by Balmaceda, the attache said it was
too absurd to be noticed.

the man and the melon. The time was
3 :45 p. m. ; the place was the large and
sunny I. K. & N. dock, just after the "de
parture of the Oregon Ware and the
crowd that saw her off. The man was
not a society leader ; he was negligee as

and he had no shirt to speak of. His
hairy chest heaved with joy as he cut the
melon in two with a big case-knife, and

in its vermilhon juciness. He was un
conscious of all things except that he was
eating melon and enjoying it, and as the

as if he didn't care whether wheat was
fifty cents a bushel or fifty cents a ton.
