HORRIBLE RESULT.
Dog Fancier Has a Terrib't
Bereavement.
HIS OWN CHILD KILLED.
Brutally Mutilated by a Feroclokt Dog
Tbe Child's Motheriid a HelgUbor
Fearfully Bitten.
Montreal, Aug. 2C The little
son of Homer Frechet, of 108 St.
Hubert street, ol 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. Air. fret-net,
who is an niuateur fanuier.recently
purchased three dogs, one of w hich
was a cross between a hound and
a bull dog. The latter was con
sidered peaceable, and gave no
signs of being dangerous.
Miortly alter 7 o clock last night,
while .Mrs. rreoliet was entertain
ing a visitor, she heard her 4-vear
old son, who was playing in the
yard, scream. Kushing to the
window, she was horrified to see
the dog attacking the child, and
tearing great pieces of flesh from
its body. With all the heroism oi
a mother's daring, the woman flew
to the rescue. The bight she saw
was a horrible one. Tlie boar Js of
the yrd were covered w ith blood,
while pieces of flesh were scatter
ed around. Though fainting, sne
attacked the infuriated beast, and
a terrific struggle ensued.
It was an unarmed woman
against a demon, and she was fast
being overcome by the brute,
when J. It. Masse, who resided
near by, came to her assistance.
At this moment the woman fainted
and the dog turned his attention
to the new intruder. Another des
perate battle ensued, but Masse
was armed with a knife which he
wielded to good purpose, but the
log having secured a grip on the
man never let go till its head was
nearly severed from its body.
Medical assistance was summoned
hut the child was beyond all human
aid and soon expired. The face
was unrecognizable, while over a
do.en pieces of flesh had been torn
from the body. The injuries sus
tained by Mis. Frechet and Masse,
while serious, ate not fatal.

Have No Effect.

of the war with Actieen which has
been in progress for a number of
years, otiensive operations are

who are content to maintain a
blockade while resisting any at
tempts of the Acheenes to break
through into Dutch territory. So
far the blockade has had no appar
ent effect in subduing the spirits
of the Acheenes who show no
signs of lacking food, their coun
try being amply able to maintain
its population. The Acheenes
threaten to assume the aggressive

glo.nny for the Dutch whose East

GAMING MATTEIt,
sircile.of the famous Monace gamb
ling house here during the Colum
bian exposition. According to the
story, Mr. Omaged is authorized to
purchase I,000,000 of the world's
fair bonds for cash and .offer one
third of the gross receipts of the
gambling table to the fair directors
for the privilege Bought. In addi
tion he guarantees the erection of
a building to cost $1,0X)0,000, where
in the gambling is to be carried on.
There 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
tne nowi it would raise. It is re-
fiorted that M. Omagud submitted
lis scheme to one of the Chicago
lair commissioners now abroad
and was advised to come to Chi
cago, which he proceeded to do,
lanuing in Piew xorir. lat Thurs

Efforts to Create Bad Feelings Do
Not Succeed.
London. Aug. 2C The efforts
of the London Times to arouse
jealousy on the part of the South
American republics toward the
Lnited States have not aroused
the feeling intended, judging from
the remarks made to-dav bv 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 tact has made a deep impres
sion, which cannot fail to be
favorable to the great North
mencan republic. The senti
ment toward America lias under
gone, so I learn, an essential and
important change in Chili
Kuropeans have been the most
active abettors of the republic,
and of the three men executed at
alparaiso for leading a pilot to
destroy the Imperial, one was a
native of Great Britain and
another of Austria. If Europe
bad acted as the United States
has acted, the war would have
been over long ago aud peace re
stored in Chili." As to the latest
story of alleged cruelty by Balma
ceda, the attache said it was too
absurd to be noticed.

Brltish Isles Are Treated to a Gen-

London, Aug. 2G. All ninht
long a tremendous hurricane pre
vailed throughout Great Britain
everywhere. The telegraph wires
are prostrated, and it. is lmpossi
ble to obtain anything more than
the most meager information as to
tne amount ot destruction caused
by the fearful wind and sweeping
rain in and about Loudon, and the
few outside places that have been
heard from. Trees have been
dragged out of tne ground by their
roots, and roofs of houses have
been ripped up and hurl;d into
streets, lanes and by wavs.
At Newcastle the tents of the
flower show were blown away like
straws, and tne beaatiiul exhibit
which they enclosed almost en
tirely destroyed.
a dispatch irom Sontli lJort, in
Lancaster county on the Irish

bark Gelion was wrecked off that

His other minor casualties are re

restoration of the telegraph ser

disasters all along the coast.
Portland, Aug. 20. Major
iiandbury and Colonel Mendell
went to the jetty last night on a
tour of inspection. The pilinr has
an been driven and readies out
tor four and a half miles from the
stiore.
Work will now oe done exclus
ively on the dumping of rock and
laying of mattresses to form the
nucleus of the desired permanent
spot, in course of years to come.
the piles will rot and wash away
but the substrata will be perman
ent, and will accumulate above and
about it a long ridge of sand mak
ing a permanent affair that will
prevent the spreading of the water
as it comes out from the river.
This will all be concentrated and
driven straight out, cutting away
al! that is left of the much-talked
of Columbia river bar. The effect
of this work has already been
shown to a very marked extent,
as the channel is now permanent
and about twenty-eight feet deep,
whereas it was not more than
nineteen or twenty some two or
three years ago.
bberia Smith, ol Clatsop county.
is in town to-day. He says that
Astoria is sure to have one and in
all probability two railroads in the
verv near future. Surveyors are
at work setting stakes for the road
to connect with the Northern Pa
cific at Goble amd this road is
certainty.
The HiUftboro people have made
a proposition to bui'd their road if
the Astoria people will give them
1000 acres of land in the city
limits. A meeting was held last
night, at which 800 of this 1000
were promptly subscribed, and
the people are jubilant in conse
quence, as they do not doubt that
the other 200 acres will be forth
coming right away.
the steamer Klwood is cabin
deep in the river at Aeh Isiand, a
place about 35 miles south of
fortland. About 5 o clock last
evening as the boat was coming to
iortland Irom Salem with Mate
John Ditner at the wheel, a snag
was struck in the foratiiii 1111m ter
and in a few minutes the boat had
sunk. There were a number of
passengers in the boat, but the

equally poor record as a special

that the latter have exerted them

genuine friendliness to the visitor.
England merely laughs at the
letter, but not bo Africa, who re
sents the lack of common polite
ness inrolved in insulting those
whose hospitality the writer has
accepted.
