Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1873-07-26

II the name Of "Fire Friend" Is legitimate
outside Of dime novel that would seem to be
the title to apply to the invisible power that Is
now stalking through the land. This decade
has been marked as more notable in the way of
great fires than any previous period in the his
tory Of the country. The great CONGREGATIONS
in Chicago and Boston were followed YESTERDAY
by that in Baltimore, and to-day two more are
recorded. Portland, Maine, scarcely rebuilt
after the terri lie devastation of a few years
ago, suffers again to tie extent of half million
OF dollars, and Norfolk, Va, has had a fire
which, though a minor affair compared to the
great CONGREGATIONS above noted, would in or
binary times pass as a serious one, involving
as II does loss Of some $50 200 in the business
part Of the city.
Some are disposed to believe that this singu-
lar prevalence of fires is due to an organized
system of incendarism by members OF some
secret association. No definite facts, however
have been brought forward to prove this asser-
ton, and il is probable that the larger portion
of the fires are the result of accident, as an
pears TO have been the case in Baltimore yes
terday. In Norfolk desperate attempt seems
to have been made to start an incendIary con-
Migration.

The good work goes bravely on. Dog-infested
communities all over the country rise to call
MIR. Caleb Gushing blessed for pointing out the
way to relief from the sleep-destroying nuis-
aDce- The Baltimore Imsricda, for instance,
while recognizing the valuable services. Mr.
Gushing has rendered his country as a lawyer,
doubts "whether he has ever accomplished
anything that should so thoroughly entitle him
to the gratitude of his fellow-citizens as when
lie procured from Washington court the i'm
mortal decision that the law will not permit
dogs to disturb a neighborhood by their barking
at night And now the anxious inquiry Is made
If Mr.. Gushing knows any law that will meet
the case Of cats. To be sure cats pay no license,
and do not seem to be reckoned as property in
the sense that dogs are; but as a sleep-killing
nuisance they are pretty nearly as bad as the
CANNES, and If Mr.. Cushing, who knows some
thing of everything, can indicate how cater
wauling can be legally abated, then indeed will

Still another murderous attempt has been
made to wreck a railroad train, this time in In
diana The engineer discovered pile of burn
ing rails on the track, but luckily in time to
stop the train, which was fred into several
times by man concealed behind fence. The
villain was captured, and the only excuse he
gave fer his diabolism was that an engine had
set fire TO his fence, and that he took that
method Of obtaining revenge. The reader Will
infer that most likely he was lynched on the
spot. Quite the reverse. The dispatch states
that he was taken to North Vernon and held in
$500 bail TO appear for trial. This is the most
extraordinary part of the proceeding. That
person who confessed to having made an at
tempt to wreck a train, thus imperiling the
lives OF hundreds of persons, should have been
treated so lenienlly is wholly inexplicable. The
probability is that the officer who exacted such
insufficient bail is too much of an ignoramus to
comprehend the enormity of the offence, and
does not understand the difference between
common assault and battery and attempted
wholesale murder.
