Their wounds were burned with caustic, but the physicians >;:t\e no hop.. , t pre venting hydrophobia. It was soon learned that the mad dog had been in Wildwood last Saturday. On that day he bit Percy Perkins, son of the Superintendent of the Pullman Iron and Steel Works. The boy is 12 years old. lie wan bitten on the end of the finger, and yesterday his hand and arm wero much swollen, and ho was sul fering inuoh pain. Mr. Perkins consulted with several physicians yesterday, and wan universally advised to t:iko the boy at once to Paris and place him under the treatment of Pastuer. Acting under this, advice, he made arrangements to start the boy with his mother fur Paris to-day. The sympathy expressed in the village last night resulted in the circulation of a subscription pajter to raise sntlicient funds to send all of tho bitten ohildreu to Paris. A considerable amount of money was subscribed. Mr. Perkins had decided not to send his boy away until this evenidg, and it is probable the three wounded children will go togethor. Officer Caasenbrod's wound is the most, severe of any. 'What treatment he will receive has not been determined upon. Ciucauo, April 25.—A big white dog, [ mad with rabies,appeared on Fulton street, in Pullman, yesterday afternoou. Ho was heated, bnt his tongue did nut protrude. His jaws were covered with a thick loam. The dog went, along the street quietly nn. til opposite the house of AI. Klmgel, a railroad switchman. There the brute turned, dashed across the street, and seized Johnnie Kliugel, aged :i years, by tho cheek. The animal then started down the street, and, meeting a little boy named Connors, bit him sc.verely in the hand. Retracing his way up the street, the dog attacked everything that confronted him, but never turned asido. Meeting another boy ho seized him by the se.it of the trousers and nearly tore the garments from the lad, but his teeth did not touch the tlesh. A moment later an adventurous dog tried to make the acquaintance of his mad b/other. A short light ensiled, and the mad dog proceeded. Within a block lio a'- tacked another dog, and sent tiie unfortunate animal away howling. Hy thin time tho it tvr t w , Moused. Screaming mothers hurried their children in doors and cries of "mad dog" startod men armed with clulvn after the animal. Police Officers Kane and Cassenbrod pnsued the dog to Kensington. He ran into a saloon where two women ami several men were drinking. Somooneeri. il "mad dog," and there won a stampede. The men mounted the bar and the women climbed on to the pool-table. The officers took refuge on a cud-tabU and ;:k-d . hhoot the dog but failed. 1 Ue dog escaped from the saloon, followed by the officers. In the streets a bold boy attacked the dog with a ball bat. He gave the dog one blow and then climbed the fence. Here the policemen overtook the brnte. andOili. er Kano fired. The ball struck in the back of tbo dog's head and J»e fell. Kane approached him and fired another ball in the dog's body, thiaking to make the killing sure, but the animal struggled ipand atvmptod to escape. Again Kane tired, t;i.< shot breaking the dog's leg. lie foil, but onco more got to his feet, and rushing upon Officer Casnenbrod. With a savage crunch he set bis teeth ic the man's wrist, lacerating it terribly. Yelliuglike mad, the officer shook him oil, and as the dog gathered himself for another attack Officer Kane fired a bullet into the brute's mouth, killing him. The MyaierioiiN Inland. He got the first large start in his fortune by investing in oheap timber lands, and the secret of his large profits in recent years has been the perfection of his machinery and the variety ol his products, which enabled him to use up all the timber he cut and avoid waste and middlemen's pofits. He manufactured houses, and shipped them all fitted and oomplete, so that hatchet and nails were all that were required to put them together at their destination. A rongn pine log brought from the woods to his mill, over his own line of . railroad, came out at the end of the works in the shape of boxes, boards, lath and barrel heads. Every scrap waa turned to profit. There was no waste exeept splinters and sawdust. His work* at DaBols have a oapacity of 85,000 feet of lumber, 6,000 boxes, 5,000 barrel heads, and 60,000 shingles per day, besides a hemlock mill with a capacity of 40,000 feet dally, and a large tannery and machine shop. He had a farm of 1,000 acres, employed 800 men, and knew every one of them. He had been seriously ill fur several months, and recently had Dr. Axnew, of Philadelphia, taken np to DuDoia on a special train. He stayed just, thii tyflve minutes. Though a man of wn rui heart and genial disposition, Mr. Da Hois never married. He never nsed liquor or tobacco. His purpose in making the deed was to nnvke Bure that his business should go on in single and absolute owuership, just us he had conducted it for a period of twenty years, after bis death, and that the 800 workmen iu his employ should not be distressed by the stoppage or embarrassment of his enterprise. The deed makes no mentiou of any of the other heirs,of whom there are a great many, John DuBois be - ing the only bachelor iu a family of fourteen. It is left eutirely to the conscience of John E. DuBois whether any of them shall ever hare anv share in the estate or not. The young man is about 25 years of age and unmarried. He was educated at Chester Military Academy. The Pittsburgh Dispatch says that John DuBois stood easily at the head of the lumber business of Pennsylvania. It is doubful if there is any man between Maine and Michigan who owned more timber laud and cut more timber than he did. Every year he cut and sawed about 30, - 000,000 feet of boards, enough to build the dwelling houses of a town of 10,000 people. He owned at the time of making the deed 33,000 acres of land in one connected body about his town of DuBois, on which there is standing about 350,000,000 feet of white pine lumber, besides many million feet of hemlock. About 8,000 acres of it is nnderlaid with a valuable vein of coal, being on the western side of the Reynoldsvllle basin. Besides his large buildings in Pittsburg, John DuBois Had a one-fourth interest in a tract of 70,000 acres in West Virginia, which the axe has never touched, and large real estate interests in Havre de Grace and Williamsport. At DuBois, where he has lately lived, ho had mill improvements worth $650,000. When he went there ten or twelve years ago, there were only three houses in the town. It now has 7,000 population. On Tuesday of loot week John DuBois, the lumber king of Pennsylvania, filed in Clearfield an absolute deed conveying all his property, valued at about $8,000,000, to his favorite nephew, John E. DuBois. The deed bears date Jan. 17,1885, so that although for more than two years young John DuBois has been in his uncle's employ, taking orders from whatever superintendent he ohanced to be working under, he has been the actual owner of the entire property. Nobody know it but himself and his uncle. The senior DuBois, who is 77 years old, has been ailing lately, and decided to make the deed public. The only consideration in the deed is that John E. DuBois shall pay all debts and fill all contracts his uucle may make till the day of his death. John DuBois began life with almost no capital, and was a raftsman on the Susquehuna at the age of 17. His inventive genius helped him greatly. His mills are full of his devices. Whenever he found an impediment in his path, he invented something to evercomo it. He recently recovered >30,000 from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company for the use of his patent for deep-water foundations. The automatic dam which bears his name is well known. He owned about fifty patents altogether. He owned the fine hotel and half the property in the town of DuBois, and had just completed a new opera house, the finest in the State outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. After the addresses Mr. Davis held an Informal reception. The corner stone of the monument will be laid to-morrow. Enthusiastic and prolonged cheering followed the speech. General John B. Gordon, the orator of the day, increased this by highly eulogizing Mr. Davis. General Gordon spoke at length, reviewing the causes of the war, and in conclusion urging the South to keep its pligbted fa 1th with the onion. Montgomery, Ala., April 28.—The oity has been crowded with people since yesterday to witness the laying of the corner stoDe of the monument to be erected to the men-ory of the Confederacy. At one o'clock this afternoon the procession formed and marched to the Capitol, where Jefferson Davis delivered an address. The ex-President of the Confederacy rode in a close carriage drawn by four gray horses and driven by the same negro coachman who performed the same duties when Mr. Davis came here In 16451. The military followed close behind the carriage to keep back the enthusiastic throng of people. As the procession moved along, the mass of humanity cheered until their throats were sore. Mr. Davis seemed in good health and cheerful. He looks very muoh as he did 'JO years ago except that ho has a full red beard. His step is firm and elastic, form erect with a manly bearing, proud and courtly. From the dome of the oapitol a Union flog floated. Another fluttered over the very spot where Mr. Davis stood when he was President of the Confederacy, Mr. Davis stood on the historical spot where be was inaugurated in February, 1801. Mayor Reese introduced Mr.Davisand said: "My countrymen : With emotions of profound revereucel iutroduce the highest type of Southern manhood, the Hon. Jefferson Davis." Prolonged cheers greeted the appearance of Mr. Davis and it was several minutes before silenee reigned. Mr. Davis spoke in clear, ringing tones, making it easy for every one of his auditors to hear hiui plainly. He spoke as follows : My Countrymen—It would be vain if I should attempt to express to you the deep gratification which l feel at this demonstration, but I know that it is not personal and, therefore, I feel the more deply grateful, because it is for a sentiment far dearer to me than myself. [Applause.] You have passed through the terrible ordeal of a war which Alabama did not seek. When she felt tier wrongs too grievous for further toleration she sought a peaceable solution. That being denied her the thunders of war came ringing over the land. Then her people rose iu their majesty,greyhaired sires and beardless boys eagerly rushed to the font. It was that war which Christianity alone approves—the holy war for defense. Well do I remember seeing your gentle boys, so small, to nse the farmer's phrase, that might have been called "seed corn," moving on with eager steps and fearless brow to the oarnival of death; and I have also looked upon them when their knapsacks and muskets seemed heavier than the boys, and o'er my eyes a mother's weeping crept. These days nave passed. Many of those boys have found a nameless grave. But they are not dead. They live in the memory and their spirits are in the grand column above, which is marching on with unfaltering steps toward the goal of constutional liberty. [Great cheering.] It were vain to attempt, as I have already said, to express my gratitude to yon. Your demonstration now exceeds that which welcomed me 25 years ago. This shows that the spirit of Southern liberty is not dead. [Immense applause.] Then you were fnll of joyons hope with the full prospect of aohieving all you desired, and now you are wrapped in the mantle of regret,"and yet that regret only manifests more profoundly and does not obliterate, the expression of yonr sentiments. I felt last night as I approached the Exchange Hotel, from the gallery of which your peerless orator, Wm. L. Yanoy, introduced me to the people of Montgomery »nd commended ma in language which only his language could yield, and which far exceeded my merit, I felt, I say again, that I was coming to my home, coming to the land where liberty dies not and heroio sentiments will live forever. [Applause.] I have been promised by my friendB that I shonld not be called upon to make a speech, and therefore I will only extend to yon my heartfelt thanks. God bless yon, one and all, old men and boys, and ladies above all other*, who never faltered in onr direst need." Apachee «a the Warpath. Willcox, April 29.—Oen.
