Mr. Blair explained its provisions, laying that it was intended to provide for the disabled Union soldiers of the late war who had found it difficult or impossible to prove their cases under existing law. He said it provided aid for all soldiers having served three months or more who had become die abled since their service, and were now dapendant for support upon their jwn manual labor or on the contributions of othsrS not legally liable for their support The highest pension would be $34 a month for total disability. It also pensioned dependent parents who had lost a son in the service and whose cases were not covered by existing law. He think the number pensioned under the bill m ould exceed 390,000, or that the amount involved would exceed (35,000,000 a year. Mr. Logan did not think it would pension more than half that number, as it related only to persons unable to obtain pensions under existing law. Brooki/tn, May M.—This city apparently has at present a victim of hydrophobia in th? person of Jacob Hertline, aged 47 years, of 140. Mtcdougal street. For three days th] unfortunate man has been suffering from all the well-defined symptoms of the malady, and the physicians in attendance regard death as the inevitable remit Mr. Hertline Is a thrifty German builder. He was a man of strong physique. On March 0 his wife, on goin£ to the yard, found a large Newfoundland dog belonging to • neighbor lying at full Irogth in the snn, directly at the foot of the stooTj. She called her husband, and asked him to drive the dog away. Mr. Hertline came out, and slapping his hands together, tried to scare the dog away, but it remained motionless. He then descended the stoop and patting the dog on the head took hoi 1 of the leather collar around its neck and saying, "Come Jack,1' began to drag him away. The dog gave a sudden jump and fastened his teeth so firmly in Mr. Hertline's right hand in the soft flesh between the thumb and forefinger, so that he had some difficulty in releasing his hand from the brute's fangs. He suffered intense pain from the ugly wound, and hurrying to the office of Dr. Emil F. Hartung, a few blocks distant, had it thoroughly cauterized. Then he had the dog shot the same day. After recess Mr. Martine announced, in answer to a question by Gen. Pryor, that the prosecution would elect to try the case on the first count of the indictment. Gen. Pry or thou moved that the court dismiss the case against J aehne, on the ground that the section of the penal code under which the first count was found is nullified by the consolidation act, which rescinds that part of the penal code which applies to the bribery of municipal officers. Mr. Graham followed Gen. Pry or, arguing for dismissal. Judge Barrett denied the motion, and the oourt adjourned. Capt. F. J. Twomey, clerk of the board of aldermen, will be the first witness, and Inspector Byrnes the second.

New York, May 14.—Jack Dempsey has long been anxious to fight Charley Mitchell, and has sent him numerous challenges which Mitchell would pot accept. There is bad blood between .them, and if they should come together in the ring the light will be a bitter one.

Dempsey wanted to meet Mitchell in the ring for $5,000 a side inside of four weeks. Mite bell said he wouldn't fight earlier than eight weeks, and then the rpw followed. Dempsey left Chicago for Bt Paul, Minn., where he arrived yesterday. Thenoe he will go to San Francisco, and thence to Portland, Ore,, where he will be married to a very wealthy girl.

The witnesses add attendants made way for the gaunt dramatist, and on reaching the street he was motioned to a carriage which stood in waiting. He shook hands with his friends quite pleasantly, anfe the driver started toward Lexington avenue. Fifteen minutes later he had reached the hospital.

This friend also said it was really a sad spectacle to witness the condition of the playwright in court his name, said his age was 44 years, barn in Pittsburg, Pa, by occupation an actor, married, with two children—like a schoolboy. Mr. Healy was called to order, and for several minutes the house was in a state of wild oonfusion and uproar. A tamily by the name of Harris was awipt nwar.

The receiver of Mr. Campbell's property and effects, Ernest Harvier, stated last evening to the reporter that the legal complications in the Campbell matter seem to be almost without precedent or parallel. There has been a horde of suits, orders, injunctions and petitions, until the estate is now on the verge of a "tie-up." Mr. Harvier has, however, contrived during the past six weeks to pay off $1,950 of Mr. Campbell's indebtedness, and to secure a number of cancellations ot claims. The property in his hands is not susceptible of correct appraisement, for the reason that much of it is subject to liens and pledges. The residue of the estate over debts and liabilities is estimated at from $15,000 to $30,000, and includes real estate, copyrights and leaseholds.
