Arthur, the five-year-old son of

bitten by Prince, the black dog owned
by Hotelman Charles Kaesttier, yes
terday afternoon. The little fellow
was playing with the nnlmal in tho
yard at his home, tho two families
living In tho Kaestner building, when
suddenly the dog sprang on the boy,
putting his teeth Into the calf of his
left leg.
The screams of Arthur attracted his
mother, who found her son semi
conscious ut.d bleeding profusely from
the wound. Dr. Kolb was summoned,
cauterized tho Incision and ordered tho
dog shot. Not anyone was more In
clined to end tho dog's life than Mr.
Kaestner, and ho sent to Patrolman
Gesohtldle's residence, nsklng that the
officer execute tho brute.. The patrol
man responded. The animal was tied
to a post and when every detail was
arranged, the patrolman drew his re
volver, aimed, pulled the hammer, but
there was no Issue from the weapon.
Again and again the effort was re
peated, but with the same result. An
Investigation showed that there were
no cartridges In tho revolver.
All hnnds laughed and during the
merriment the dog took Frf-nch leave.
He was captured and again tied, and
Mr. Kaestner, the Inimitable, getting
his double-barrell gun, said he would
finish tho job. He fired four shots
that went wide of the mark. Finally
Mr. Storr, father of the Injured boy,
undertook tho task and was success
ful. It Is not thought that the injury
will result seriously.

WHERE IS THOMAS B. RICHEY.
Disappeared ns If Engulfed in an
Earthquake.
From the Washington Post.
At it o'clock on Tuesday evening, Aug
ust 23, ThomaB Beall Rlchey, of Wood
stock, Va., walked out of the Howard
House, corner of -Pennsylvania avenue
and Sixth street, and from that mo
ment has never been heard of. He dis
appeared as utterly as if some
tremendous cataclysm had engulfed
him. He was canceled as completely ns
though a convulsion of nature had bur
led him. Nothing more mysterious has
ever occurred in Washington. A man
In the prime of life, a prosperous mer
chant, a devoted husband, a sincere
Christian, sober, of high repute and In
fluential family connections, Thomas
Beall Rlchey passed from the Howard
House Into nntoccultatlon as absolute
as death Itself. That such a thing
could happen in the very heart of
Washington, at an hour when the whole
city was awake and under circumstan
ces of perfect public order and tran
quility, Is us astounding as any ro
mance ever concocted by Gaborlau or
Du Boisgobey. Indeed, it beggars ro
mance and takes', rank with those ap
palling facts which prove to us how
much stranger than all Imaginable fic
tion is the simple truth.
There are details and collaterals
which go to Intensify the mystery. Mr.
Rlchey stopped over In Washington for
the purpose of locating or tracing ills
baggage, which had gone astray. Re
had set out from New York, where he
had been purchasing a stock of goods,
leaving his wife to pay a brief visit to
her family, but on reaching the Capi
tal found that his trunk was missing.
On that account he put up at the How
ard House, awaiting the result of a
telegram to his brother-in-law In New
York, and, meanwhile, wrote to his
niece In Woodstock, advising her of his
detention. In the note he explained
that he was waiting for his trunk, and
would take tho train for home as soon
as it turned up. He closed his message
by saying it was so warm that he In
tended taking n ride on the electric cars
probably Into the suburbs, with a view
of enjoying the fresh air while the city
cooled off. The remarkable fact In this
connection Is that while the letter It
self was In Mr, Ridley's well-known
handwriting! and exhibited not the
slightest sign of physical or mental
perturbation, the envelope was ad
dressed In chlrography totally unfamil
iar to every one of Mr. Rlchey's
friends and relatives, The hotel sta
tionery was not used. There wns noth
ing to indicate the locality from which
it was sent. But the postoillce brand
on the outside showed that It had been
taken up somewhere In Washington at
2:30 a, m. Wednesday morning. The
presumption is, therefore, that Mr,
RU-hey wrote the letter after leaving
the hotel possibly several hours af
terwardand that some one In whoo
company he then was undertook to ad
dress and mall It. Another circum
stance tending to complicate the mys
tery Is that Inquiry subsequently mudo
at the Pennsylvania depot showed that
the trunk hud reached here next day,
that the check had been presented nnd
the property removed, A telegrom was
received at the hotel after Mr. Rlchey's
disappearance. It was from his brother-in-law
In New York, saying that
the trunk had been forwarded from tho
Courtlandt street ferry office, and It
was opened by one of the lost man's
brothers. The telegram gave the num
ber of the check, nnd so It was an easy
mutter to ascertain that It had been
taken up at the depot- It Is also a
logical conclusion that tho person pre
senting the check must huve got It from
Mr. Rlchey. Could It have been tho
same man who addressed tho letter
which was stomped 2:30 a. m,, August
21, and sent to Woodstock?
Altogether this strikes us as one of
the most remarkable episodes In the
history of Washington. Considering all
the clrcumtances tho time, the place,
the well-known character of the man,
everything It constitutes as profound
and perplexing a mystery us ever fig
ured In song or story. Mr. Rlchey dis
appeared on the night of Tuesday, tho
23d eight days ago and up to a lato
hour last night not a truce of him,
however faint, had been developed.
His friends have searched the city high
and low. They huve visited the hos
pitals, tho police stations, even tho
morgue. Not a gleam of light has been
thrown upon the ca)e. SUenco und
