From the New York Herald, Today. LEXINGTON, Ky., Friday.—Dora Rich- ardson and Riley Brock were not married tcday, as it was announced they would be. Last night Dora received a long telegram from Gen. Cassius M. Clay, har late hus- band, and the wedding did not come off. As she will allow no cone to see the tele- gram, it cannot be positively stated that the receipt of the telegram stopp:d the wedding. Brock celebrated his expected nuptials by getting gloriously drunk Wednesday night, und it is thought Gen. Clay was advised of his debauch, and that he stopp2d the mar- riage by wir It developed today that Gen. Clay has not deeded the land he bought here to Dora Richardson. It was deeded to him several Weeks ago by the firm that sold it, but it was not recorded in the county clerk's office at Versailles until yesterday, and today Leonard Richardson wok the deed to Whitehall and turned it over to Gen. Clay. The general was afraid to trust it to the mails, as letters directed to him have been purloined and letters which he has written to others have been tampered with. C. L. Riley of this place, a member of the firm of Myers & Riley, which sold him the land here, lost a letter that Gen. Clay wrote him recently in the mails. The envelope had been broken open and the contents ab- stracted when received by Mr. Riley. It is regarded as significant that the little plot of ground containing the two houses has not be2n deeded to Dora. It is under- stood by those who are in a position to know that Gen, Clay does not intend to deed the place to Dora unless she marries some one who will take care of the prop- erty. He is not averse to her getting mar- ried, and he has so expressed himself. He Knows of her infatuation for Brock, and he feels that they will soon be married, but he is averse to Dora's marrying a man who drinks, and Brock’s escapad2 this week will, it is believed, prevent him from keep- ing the general's good will. —————_++—____ The old flag pole on the roof of the execu- tive mansion has been taken down and a new iron flag staff erected in its place.

It is Officially Indorsed by Health Officer Woodward as Preferable to the Old Wa: Hereafter all dogs not reclaimed and those remaning unsold at the District pound will be destroyed by asphyxiation. Hereto- fore they have been shot, a method which not only, it is believed, caused the unfortu- nate animals mcre or less unnecessary suf- fering, but which was somewhat revolting. ‘The District authorities have been consid- ‘ering for some time the adoption of a more humane method of destruction, and Dr. Wm. C. Woodward, the health officer, now believes he has, in the introduction of the new methcd, adopted one which will be most satisfactory in every way. Tried for the First Time. This new system was tried here for the first time yesterday in the presence of Dr. Woodward, who has reported on it as fol- lows to the District Commissioners: “The trial by the new method was a suc- cess, and the men who were formerly com- pelled to shoot the dogs are as much pleased as I am myself, and all who wit- nessed the Killing, for they will now be spared the revolting task of shooting the animals. “During the past fifteen years, which is as far back as the records of the pound exist, 44,373 dogs were impounded. Of these 35,000 have been killed by the shooting pro- cess. During the past year, for instance, 2,635 dogs were destroyed. The method which has been in yogue for the past twen- ty-five years has been by shooting the canines. A man whose work it vas to destroy annually from 2,500 to 3,000 dogs became in time so expert that the work was accomplished by him without much suffering on the part of the dogs. “The work was. however, necessarily very repulsive and disagreeable. A change in the method was sovght whereby the pain for the animals to be destroyed, if any, could be minimized, and it was decided to adopt the methcd in vogue in Baltimore. Philadelphia, Brooklyn and elsewhere; that is, the destruction of these animals by the s ring charcoal. Thi tion, it will be remem- bered, has heen frequently adopted by the French for suicidal purposes. Efforts have been made ‘or the pa two years to pay for the apparatus out of the contingent fund from which the pound is supported, but the de.nvads upon that fund made it impossible to do so. Apparatus Worked Well. “The fund at the present time seemed to be sufficient.for the expense, and the ap- paratus has been ordered and_ installed. The new method was given its first trial today, and thirty-two dogs were kille The apparatus worked admirably, and fif dogs could have been killed just as well, while the expense was cnly about 19 ceat We have formerly paid 1 cent for the kill- ing of each dog, as tke bullets cost 1 cent each, and the new method will be econoz ical and save money, besides being much more agreeadle to the men of the pound. “The apparatus ecnsists of an air-tight chamber, iarge enough to hold fifty sixty dogs, and also of a small charco: stove, h is connected with this char ber by about twenty-five feet of galvanized iron pipe. This pipe contains several ves so erranged that in starting a fire in th charcoal sto the smoke and fumes p: out of the chimrey. When the proper cu! dition is reached, and all smoking ceas: the valves :an be tirned so as to thro: the poisonous gas given off by the smolde ing charcoal into the chamber occupied b the dogs. The length of the pipe hetwee the stove and the chamber is sufficient t allow all vapors to cool before ente! The chambe- itself is provided with to allow the escape of air as the gz: and with windows, so that the con- da:tion of the dogs may be observed, if de- sired. After the chamber has been fille with gas the dogs are introduced. tmost without a cry in about a minute, and are dead very shortly after- ward, but to avcid any recoveries owing to a premature opening of the chamber, all are allowed to remain in it for from ten to fifteen minut “The cost of the apparatus was about $100, and that is the principal expense incurred, while in the future money will be saved by the introduc:ion of the new method.” —- INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.
