. THE DOGS. Ninety Curs Suffocated in the Gas Tank. Gen Se ene BUNGLING SCIENCE. The . Canines’ Complaint Set Forth. A General Crusade in England Against Bowwow. Thirty-seventh street, beyond Tenth avenue, is Mot the most cheerful locality in the city tora quiet residence. !t is m part occupied by black- smith shops and stables; and though there isa row of respectable brick houses occupied as tene- Ments by a good class of citizens, the greater por- tion of the dwellings are somewhat squalid and their occupants of the lower strata in metropolitan society. In this street our city fathers have located their dog-suffocating machine, The pound was at its best estate a stable. A flat roof with many skylights covers the space between two brick walls, 100 feet deep by twenty-five feet wide, this is floored. At the iront, next Thirty- seventh street, isa second hand desk from Canal street, near it lay two iron gas holders—cylinders eighteen inches across and four feet long. These and two chairs served in tur? to seat some twenty men, policemen, Kergh’s men, reporters and men who had more curiosity than care. Further in stood a tank 16 feet long, 8 feet broad and 4 feet high, built of two inch white pine plank, the joints smeared with paint. at the frontend it had an opening a yard square, and one of like size on ethe top. This was the gas retort in 4 which humanitarian science proposed to as- phyxiate the doomed dogs, who to the number of 225 were chained to the floor in the balance of the pound. They were dogs of all dog colors. Evidently under the constitutional amend- ment there had been no unjust discrimination in their reception on account of age, sex or previous condition of destitution. Every cur of them bore upon his face, body and limbs the evidence of hav- ing suffered before coming to pound from a bad Name, at least, though proofs of lack of nourish- ment and positive disease were not lacking in the Jarge majority of the yelping pack. Strange to gay, though usnally called dumb, not one of the 225 lacked @ voice. From the whine of a newly whelped spanicl to the deep cry of the mastiff, through many gradations of sound, these beasts sent their protests to heaven in such discordant din that no ears save those of a paid oficial could | motion. endure it without the deepest pain. It was one constant roar. Only when at rare intervals Cap- taim Marriott, the pound master, would startle the kennei by a resopant stroke with a bludgeon on the plank tank were the whelps awed for a mo- ment into silence. THE SUFFOCATION, About halfof the dogs naving been in legal de- ‘ tention over forty-eight hours, as prescribed in the dog ordluance, were to suffer the penalty of | having come into this breathing world as pups, | and of being unfriended.

October and November, and twenty-seven daring December, January and February. Statistics taken ip our own country have resuita, except that the numbers of cases occur- ring with us are shown to be greater in winter than in summer. But it should be remembered In considering these statistics that not more than one case in thirty terminated fatally. Toe Brigh- ton Herald, an English journal, say last half century scores of persons bitten by animais reported rabid, but it is remark- able that not asingle instance can be adduced in which any haman creature has been subject to the consequences which such bites and tnocula- lions are said to produce.” As an evidence of THE INFREQUENCY OF HYDROPHOBIA, reference may be had to the Pennsylvania report, which says that the Philadelphia Hospital has within the memory of living man had but two cases, apd the report of one of them shows that there was no satisfactory evidence that the patient had ever been bitten by any animal, The statistics of our New York hospitals and those of Paris show fatal cases in the an subject to be scarcely irequent enough to keep alive a belief in the oxtatenee of the disease, The dry figures I have given are of value because they establish two facis:—First, that the so-called disease is not, by any Means, a8 prevalent as is generally supposed to be: and second. that it 18 as liable to occur in winter agin summer, From all the circumstances we can easily decide how absurd and barbarous the law is lor muzziing dogs during the summer months. There is another aspect of the case which sbouid not be forgotten—the muzzle does not prevent hydrophobla in the dog, but on the contrary ea, predisposes him to the disease. ‘The dog finds his principal relief, in hot weather, in panting open mouthed. He does not throw off perspiration like many other animals, and consequentiy depends much upon the rapid inhalation of cool air into his lungs, ‘the muzzle makes the best natured dog irritable, and fnally tortures him into a fever. To him more than all others is @ free access to water @ necessity, He will drink from ten to filteen times a day, which to z! e him is undoubtedly a means of preventing disease. | 4 ind ‘ He f } dogs in the more crowded parts of towns, or in Thousands of these faithful servants die every summer in this city, of wastelul fever, because there are no proper made for them to obtain water. If they tell us the story of their misery, arising from this cause alone, it would touch our hearts. But the utter fallacy of atcributing canine mudness to the beat of summer ts best shown in the history of the most torrid climes, The disease is unknown in the Indies and in South America, Constantinople, that city of dogs and the plague, is a stranger to it. Dr. Hinnikin in his ‘Notes on Madeira” says t!at “curs in the most wretched condition abound there; that they are altiicted with almost every disease; tormented by flies, thirst, heat and jamine, and yet no rabid dog was ever seen in that locality.” Barron, likewise, in his “Travels in south Airica’” remarked the entire absence oi canine madness in that country, though the Kaftirs had iarge numbers of dogs, A GENUINE CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA, even in the dog, isa very rare occurrence. But when the disease does manifest itself, its symp- toms are marked and easily defined, and to one who has given the subject the slightest attention there should be no mistake concerning a proper dtaguosis. ‘The trouvie is that to pergons of super- ficial observation an eptleptic fit—very common among dogs—may be mistaken lor bydrophobia. ‘The dog when suffering from an attack of epilepsy— which igasure guarantee that he is not mad— Tuns about wildly, staggers, falls down, regains his feet, toddles about mechanically, froths at the mouth (which 1s another positive in- dication that he is not mad, for a mad dog never frotis a5 the mouth), and, as if entireiy deprived of sight, runs against anyining in bis way, With the mad dog the case is entirely ditfer- ent.

Stray dogs are universally supposed to be mad simply because they nave lost their way, and all dogs found with sunstroke or any other entee- bling sickness, utterly disqualilying them for bos- tilities upon either Mankind or dog-kind, are at once voted to execution. The dogs in their turn might with equal justice regard the periodic fits of our legislative activity against them as reasons of our madness, and perhaps call them “man days’? in confidential mtercourge among each other.

Pardon me it i seemingly digress trom my subject | when I say that intoxicating liquors kill more peo- ple in New York city alone iu one montu than would die of hydrophobia in the United States in w century, It is certainly very inconsistent to express 80 much dread of a disease which is simply a very remote possibility, and still jostle on the street every day the wrecks of another disease infinitely more soul destroying, and which indir¢ strike us to the earth, But there is a kind of SENSATIONAL HYDROPHOBIA which springs ito notice generally when there is | a dearth oi news, and the morbid sentiment o! the community requires something to feed upon.

(From the London Times, Juve 9.) An alarm about canine madness ts one that is almost certain to recur periodically with the recur- rence of hot weather, although it has long been known to all who are practically acquainted with the snbdject that neither season nor temperature exerts any appreciable influence upon the preva- lence of the disease. in England, where dogs are so often killed in mere panic, no trustworthy sta- Ustics with reference to this part of the question can be obtained; in France, where careful obser- vations have been made, it has been shown that the difference between the different periods of the year is only trivial, but that, im iact, more authenticated cases of rabies occur in sprit The summer ana winter quarters afford eac! abont the same number, and the autumn quarter is the least severely visited, * * * Notwithe standing, however, all needful allowance for popular exaggeration, there can be uo doubt that the number of siray and masteriess dogs in the Metropolls is such as to call for active interierence on the part of tue authorities, They are nuisances even when they are not sources of danger, In the five months already relerred to no fewer than 7,246 dogs were seised by the police, Of these, 643 were promptly restored to the owners and 6,603 were | Sent to the Dogs’ Home, where, according to the Secretary, not a single dog nas shown any symp- tom oi; madness, But tne conditions of metro- politan liie, at least in the more closely inhabited portions, are totally opposed to the maintenance of canine heaith and comfort, and the keeping of streets where the houses have no convenient yards and other premises, ought undoubtedly to be in every way discountenanced. Few things can be more unnatural than the existence o! a collie or a retriever who spends bis days in a Lon- don area, The animals thus kept are often house- hold pets, and, as such, are treated with all kind- ness; but the kindness itself borders very closely upon crueity, It has been pel osed to diminish the number of dogs by publishing lists of the lcense-holders, and by giving rewards to any who iniorm against those who keep dogs witlout a license, ould it not also be possible to restrict the issue of licenses, and to grant them, in large towns, only to those who occupy premises upon which dogs might be kept without becoming sources of offence to the neighbors or passers-by, and on which due attention to food, water, cleanliness and exercise should at least be possible?

The Police De- partment there includes a brigade of lamplighters, In consequence of the nights of St. Petersburg and Moscow being in the early part of the summer just as light as day, the lamps are not lighted at ail, and the lamplighter brigade is employed tn hunt- ing up wandering dogs.

[From the Cork Constitution, June 6,] A magnificent new screw steam yacht, bulit on the Clyde, for His Grace the Duke of Atercorn, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, arrived at the North wall on Thursday morning, from Greenock. She is called the Naried, and is exquisite as a model of marine architecture, She is gorgeously fitted out in her saloons and staterooms, and ts furnished with every iuxury to be desired afloat. She is provided with a pair of admirably constructed en- gines, with inverted cylinders of thirty horse, nominal, but capable of working np to sixty horse. His Grace the Lord Lieutenant, attended by several members of the Viceregal Household, pro- ceeded on board yesterday evening, and steam being up, the new steamer was soon got under weigh for a trial trip down the river. She hoisted the pareee, aud flag of the Royal Irish Yacht Club, of which His Grace is patron. In the run down she attained a high rate of speed without any vibrations being caused by the pressure or by | the working of the engines. After passing the Pool- beg Light she made for the southward, and after passing the west pier she steamed round Kings- town haroor and returned to the North wall, where His Graco the Lord Lieutenant and suite disembarked, The triai trip was most successtul, and the weather was as summer-like and genial as possible, The headquarters of the Viceregal steam yacht Naried will be at Kingstown, ANEW ART GALLERY, (From the Christian Union.)

THE PISTOL AGAIN. Dreadful Tragedy in Murray Street. Attempt of the Murderer to As- Sassinate an Officer. GILL IN HIS CELL. The metropolis was yesteraay startled by the an- nouncement that Mortimer Sullivan, a carrier in Washington Market, had been shot dead in a saloon on Murray street, by @ former friend, named “Marx” Gill, who, before he was captured, atrvempted to ktil Police O(Ncer Sheldon, From the several stories published below it appears that the murder was one of the most de- liberate and cold-blooded affairs that has ever taken place in New York. The victim was a man of family in respectable standing, while his mur- derer i & hoted desperado, suspected of being im- plicated in several bloody affrays during the last six years. When arrested he attempted to shoot the officer, who owes his life to his own presence of mind, When brought to jail Gill tried to do violence to his keepers, and was only prevented by being placed in a straight jacket. He refused to say anything regarding the affair, and acted as though he wished to convey the idea thay he was Dot of sound mind, The tollowing circumstantial stores contain a graphic account of the bloody deed :— WHAT THE BARTENDER SAW. Jonn P. Wellbrock, who ‘tended bar in C, H. Meyer’s saloon, says:—About elght o’clock Gill and Sullivan came in and called fora drink. After having two drinks apiece they began disputing about a yacht race which is to occur a week from | “Marx” Gill claimed that | toemorrow (Saturday). acertain yacht—the Bismarck, I think, he said— was sure to win. Sullivan laughed at the idea, Gill then struck Sullivan in the face with his hand, but the latter took no notice of the insult, merely saying, ‘1 don’t want to strike a boy.” Gill then left the saloon, leaving Sullivan with his (Gili’s) “boss,” Timothy Taine. Previous to this Gill had borrowed $5 of Taine, ostensibly to bet Sullivan did not have more than $2 and could not cover Gill’s money. They remained there con- versing for about twenty-five or thirty minutes when Gill suddenly returned and displayed a small revolver, which he took from his vest pocket. Sullivan said in the coolest manner:—Well, Marx, are you fixed for me now?” “Yes,” repliea Gil, “Iam fixea.” He then drew the revolver, and it either went off or he shot into the floor. They then called for dice. Sullivan evidently never thought of being shot, tor he could have disarmed the man “in no time atall.” Sullivan threw a large face of dice, and Sulli- van made some remark then about Gill being a coward because he would not throw, when Gill stepped up to him and, pointing the revolver directly at his face, shot Sullivan through the le(t eye. The poor fellow fell like alog, and never Moved again. A slight tremor on his face was all I noticed as 1 came round the counter. once, and beiore I could get to the door from be- bind the bar, was nearly to the corner of Coliege place, on Murray street.

H, Meyer, the proprietor of the saloon at No. $87 Murray street, Was absent up town on business He seems to regret his absence very greatly, and states that he is confident that had he been there the murder would not have hap- He says that, knowing Sullivan had con- siderable family trouble, be had always discouraged him trom drinking or kéeping company with men who did, The man Gill be had several times refused to sell liquor to, becanse he knew that he was dangerous when intoxicated. THE STORY OF THE CHEESE KNIFE, There was a very ugly rumor floating around the neighborhood in which the murder occurred to the effect that when Gill first left Meyer’s, after his trouble with Sullivan, he crossed Greenwich street to.an ale house af the opposite corner and tried to borrow a large cheese knife, A visit to tiis saloon tendea to convince the writer that | there was some foundation for the rumor, and although the bartender in charge admitted that Gill had visited his place in the forenoon he de- clined, in a very besitattng manner, to say anything more, giving as a reason that he did not want to be mixed up in the affair. ltis very certain that this will bear investigating, It any evidence be wanting to establish premeditation the tact that Gili went out of Meyer's saloon for the purpose of borrowing a deadly cueese knife, but, failing in this, proceeded to a gunsmith’s snop, further up | Greenwich street, where he purchased tue weapon, will forever settle the question. THE GUNSMITH’S STORY, During the afternoon Peter Corbett, the sales- © man at Godfrey's store, In Greenwich street, was brought to the Tombs and identified the prisoner as the mat who had bought a pistol from him in | the morning. Mr, Corbett tells the following story :—‘About nine o’clock this morning @ man came into the store and said he wanted to buy a pistol. There did not seem to be anything strange tn the man’s conduct, He talked and acted very soberly. He did not seem to be in any particular hurry about getting the weapon, abd was very deliberate about his selection, I showed him about eight diferent pistols, varying in value from $12.t0 $6. Tome he seemed to be a judge of pistols, for he named the market prices of those that he examined. He took up one pistol and asked me how much he could have it ior. I said $6. He said, ‘I'll give you $5 50 for it; will you take ity I told him he might have it for that money, and he put his hand into his pocket for the curreacy. While he was getting the money J asked him if he would like a box of cartridges. He said no, but if I had a few loose ones around I could put them in. 1 loaded the pistol for him, and he looked on without seeming to take any particular interest in the operation, At no time during his stay In the store did he display any hurry or anxiety to get the pistol. He leit quite leisurely, and 1 no- ticed no sign of liquor upon him—in fact, I thought him rather clear headed for only giving $5 50 tor the pistol.” A BRAVE POLICE OFFICER, Officer Charles 0. Sheldon, of the City Hall squad, who made the arrest, gives the following etate- ment regarding the capture :—‘I was riding along College place toward Murray street on a vendor’s | wagon, When, just below Warren street, | saw the risoner turn the corner of Murray street into Col- jege place. A crowd appeared at the corner only a moment later, and some man yelled out, ‘He’s shot aman!’ ‘The crowd did notioliow very close at the man’s heels and just as | realized the situa- tion the prisoner turned toward the crowd and in trying to cock his revolver discharged it through his leit hand. ‘his, of course, I learned subsequentiy, At the moment I only knew that he had fired the revolver. Without a moment’s thought about tie prisoner whom | ihad on the wagon, | leaped to the ground and pursued. The prisoner had almost reached Warren street before I came up to him. When I was with- in a few teet of him he turned like a fash-o! lght- ning and, raising the weapon directly at my preast, tried to cock it. [ was on him in an in- stant, and changing my Club to my right hand (for Tam much stronger in ‘my left than my right) [ seized the revolver, with my left hand right over the lock, and, giving his hand a wrench with all the power that was in me, succeeded in capturiug the weapon, {am irank enough to say that! did fear 1 mignt force the lock Gown 80 quick as to cause an explosion, but I had no time to deliber- ate. The prisoner then triea to resist, when I seized him by the back of the collar; but / told nim it was no use. He then said he'd go along. He swore considerably, but would say nothing about tie case, did not know that he hud killed the Man. I supposed it was some barroom fight. [got some assistance at Broadway, but he did not give me any trouble. 1 got my clothes very bloody trom his hand. The thing Lam most glad of, next to not getting shot, is that I captured him and brought him to the Oity Hall station without striking him with my club. fam giad of this, be- cause the wembers ol the force are accused of using their sticks.indiscriminately. The prisoner was turned over to Captain Leary. Thence the Captain took him to headquarters, and, his commit- ment being ordered, conveyed the prisoner to the ‘Tombs. egarding his appearance | can only say that he acted more like a man crazed with anger than With drink. Certain itis that be was sover enough when brougiit before Captain Leary to give the alias of George Robiuson and then to decline to say anything iurther, He bad evidently been drinking, but the chase and the excitement nad greatly sobered him.

Gill and Maloney were in the party of roughs that fired at Edward Coppers, June 12, 1869, and at Michael Walsd, on November 25, 1569, One of these men was suspected of having fired the shot in each instance.

Dr. Brekes asked him how he had hurt his hand, and, alter much deliberation and muttering, he said it was a pistol shot. The Doctor asked him how it was done; by himself or the oifivcer. now began to move his head up and down with jerks and look simple. He said some things which seemed stupidly incoberent. The Doctor paid no poses his question, whereupon Gill answered that G Doctor trouoled him no more. When his hand was redressed and he arose to ascend to nis cell, the HERALD reporter asked him how the afair hap- pened, but he would make no answer. A laconic “Nothing!” and he was on his way up the stairs to his cell, now fast growing dark in the gathering shades of evening. ‘The Inquest.
