A Fight That Flas Resulted in a» Whole- sale Slaughter of Canines. KENNETT SQUARE, Pa., Dec. 10,~This lace is now weathering the worst mad og scare ever experienced in Chester county. The sight of a dog on the street causes a stampede for cover among the pedestrians, and a dog with- out a muzzle on is looked upon in ab ject terror. This state of affairs was caused by the visit of a supposed mad dog to the town a few days ago. It was a strange animal and created a sen- gation by biting twenty-six members of the canine population here. The bitten dogs are all known and Officer Kiniry, the one pence custodian of the town, is busy slaughtering them. He has man- aged to put an end to eighteen of the suspected dogs. At the last meeting of the borough council an ordinance was passed that no dogs should be allowed to run at large except those wearing muzzles. This has caused a boom in the muzzle trade and it is a lucky dog thet is not made uncomfortable with a ranszle just at this time. THE MAJOR GENERALSHIP. The Appointment of Ged. Hartranft's Successor Expected with the New Year. Hasrissuka, Dec. 10.—As the year gradually grows to a close, speculations as to who will be appointed to the major generalship of the National Guard grow apace, as it was given out a month or so ago that before Jan. 1, 1800. Gov- ernor Beaver would announce thes pointment. Who the lucky man will be absorbs all the attention of military circles, as there are said to be three can- dates in the field with their forces all well marshalled. Gen. Snowden, commander of the First brigade, is known to be looking for the position, owing to his seniority, if nothing else. Gen. Latta, the re cently elected clerk of the court of gquar- ter sessions at Philadelphia, is also known to be casting his eyes in that direction, while the name of Adjt. Gen. Hastings is more or less heard, and with it comes the announcement that he would be willing to resign hus present office. Delamater's Candidacy. Harrispura, Dec. 8 — Politicians who are known to be close to Senator Quay expressed no surprise on learning of the announcement of State Senator Dela- mater, of Crawford county, that he will be a candidate for governor at the next Republican state convention. They say they always understood that Delamater would be a candidate, and that before the last convention it was given out that he had gubernatorial aspirations. No one knows whether Senator Quay has yet declared in favor of Delamater, though both are on the most friendly terms. It is thought the senator will al- low matters to drift aloug for a time before making known his choice for the nomination.
