A Brave Little Girl.

As little girl, Lizzie Bourland by
name, who resides at WOodlawn Ill, on
the line Of the StLouis&Southeaste Rail
road, was passing down the track yester.
day afternoon on her way to the next
station tI5oache's(, she discovered a lot of
brush upon the track which she conclu-
ded to remove. Upon lifting portion of
the brush, she discovered a tie across the
track She endeavored to remove the tie,
but being a child ofonly thirteen years OF
age, her strength was inadequate. just
then, to her horror, she heard the train
coming. With presence of mind far
exceeding her years, she grasped her
parasOl and signaled the train to stop,
keeping it in violent motion until she
heard the engineer whistle down. brakes
As the train was only about one hundred
yards distance when the signal was given,
of course the engine struck the tie, not
outstanding the air-brakes were put on
to the fullest extent, but the speed was so
lessened by the time the obstacle was
struck that no damage was done. The
conductor of the train stopped and took
up the little girl and carried her to heI
destination, after thanking her for the
| timely warning which, doubtless, saved a
number or lives.
The train was a passenger train bound
west and due in East St. Louis at 4:32
which point it reached in safety, through
the thoughtfulness and presence OF mlno

ALEXANDRIA,

FATAL AcCIpKNr.-On Saturday night, the
late boss Of the chain gang, Capt. b. X. Foley,
retired to bed at his residence, on Wilks street,
between Royal and Pitt, his sleeping room
being In the garnet. About O'Clock Sunday
morning some of the neigh bors hearing grosns,
went to the house and found the Captain lying
on the ground In the rear in partially insensi-
Bile condition with two of his ribs broken and
great many bruises on different parts of his
body He was taken In the house and a physi-
clan sent for, who rendered all the assistance
available; but after considerable suffering he
died this morning at $50. 1t Is thought, that
while under the influence Of somnambulism
the deceased walked out the window, though
he was not subject to such attacks.

LEGENDARY FIREs-The alarm of fire about

the burning of a small framed house on Shu-

leased by r: ID. Cats. 1t was uneccupied, and
had little hay in one of the rooms. That be-
tween nine and ten O'Clock last night was
caused by the burning of nine and a half stacks
of hay belonging to Messrs. X. ID. Cats and
Samuel Pullman, on a lot owned by Mr.. II. l..

There was no insurance on the hay, and as far
as known, none on the house. Both fires were
caused by incendiaries for whose arrest and

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE.
The Dog Question.

E".,6v Stdr,-The Hon Caleb Cushing having
q good example by instituting a suit against
the owner of noisy canine, IL 10 10 be hoped
that IN ft-e ordinary persons may obtain relief,
and have their slumbers undisturbed by the
packs Of semi domestic animals which infest our
city. When we count the cost to the country at
large caused by the numbers of ,rortkIess dogs
and the danger to life and limb we are Liable to
suffer from, tits surprising that stricter methods
are not taken to reduce their numbers. Every
night our streets swarm with them; despite the
from each alley motley crowd of CANNES pour
forth, either in quest 81 food or to visit some
acquaintance. The black and tan, the lank
hound, the sturdy bull and the omnipresent
yauer dog are every night to be seen roaming
the streets and making night hideous. There
are also some dogs of high degree; who, like
some two-legged puppies, have fallen into bad
company, and stay out o. nights. Others there
are who have been saved from the cord and
brick bat to grow up in obscurity, or are the
issues Of psesdlliances with low-born ours.
Would it not be well for the pound master to
make night trip occasionally? 1t would re-

PROM THE BRIDAL CHAMBER To THE LOCK-UP
This morning, warrant was returned to the
Police Court which had been issued BY Justice
walter on the oath of Ellen Dulaney, charging
John Griffin, laborer, with committing a rape
en- her on the 18th day of July. Complaina mt
failing to appear against Griffin, Mr.. Gloss en-
tered MOLE pros, and the prisoner went on his
way rejoicing. The history of the case is as fol-
IOws:-Grifhn procured license TO marry Miss
Mary Maley on the 10th instant, and the mar
I1sge took place yesterday afternoon at ST.
stephens (CathOlic) church, Rev. Father
McSailey officiating. The warrant sworn ont
by the girl Dulaney (who resides in Georgetown)
was placed in the hands of Lieut.. Greer yester-
day afternoon, and a request was made
that IL be served before six O'Clock D. m
at which hour the marriage was to take place
The officers failed, however, TO ascertain Grif-
fms whereabouts until last night, when Ser
Seant Brosnan, with Officers Collins and White,
ascertainsd that wedding party was in pro-
gress at Mrs. Donohues, on sd street, between
J. and Nj. The officers entered the house and
found quite large company assembled, and all
enjoying themselves TO the fullest extent. The
company were greatly surprised at the entrance
Of the officers. and when the latter asked for
Griffin, the reply was made that he had es-
capped They did not believe IL, and STAYED to
Keep watch on the house, and the company not

left the premises. Griffin in the meantime was
mp stairs with the bride and a few select friends
but when informed that the officers had come
for him, he bid his wife an affectionats and
reluctant goodbye and went with the police
men to the station house, where he spent the
night. 1T was the opinion OF the officers last
night that the charge was made from mott yes
ofjealousy, and the fact that the prosecuting
witness failed to appear to-day strengthens that
opinion.
