Fire this Morning.

AT about 2 o'clock this morning FIVE
one-story frame dwellings situated on the
corne Of Mill and Third streets, Chelsea,
were fired by an incendiary and were
burned to the ground. The fire engines
arrived on the ground, but too late to
the burning property. The adjoin-
ing buildings we're kept wetted 30 that
the further spread of the flames was pre-
vented. When the fire was about out
and the hose reeled upon the trucks, a
fire was discovered breaking out in an
adjoining two story building. This fire
was at once suppressed by the fremen
1t was also the act of an incendiary. No
persons lived in the houses at the time.
The buildings were owned by Ed Fitz
gibbon, who resides out in the country
some distance from the city.

A thousand persons visited Central

professional players. Quite a number

the intense heat Of the glaring sun. The
game was very poorly played and every.
body was badly disappointed, The err
rors were unaecountable aud ~fearfully
numerous. Clinton did uneommonly
bad, making three very poor throws and
some wild pitching, and Luf, on first,
was very slow, but was exeusable on ae-
count of sickness. Dolan, Of the st.
Louis, made several pass balls. The
batting on both sides was very heavy,
but the quickness OF the felders prevent
ed many base hits. The following is the

Man's InhumSnIty to the Lower
Animals.

NAME Inhumanity to the Lowe
Animals.
To the Editor of the Ledger:
An order emanating from the of
flee of the Chief of Police, in tn.
Sunday morning papers, calls upol
all owners of valuable dogs to muz
zle or chain them up, as they will
be poisoned or otherwise de.
stroyed if found running loose Oh
the streets. This order is based
upon an ordinance passed by the
city authorities. | take it fol
granted hal there is no sensible
man in our city Board of Alder
men or Council who would willing.
ly and without the best of reasons
infict unnecessary suffering upon
any of the lower animals; and
hence l must conclude that this or
dinance was passed under the false
impression that rabies or hydro
phObia was a disease occurring in
the dog, particularly in hot weather.
Now it is a known fact among OBJ
servant medical men that this isnot
the case, for John Hunter observed
years ago that in the hot island OF
Jamaica, where dogs are very nu-
merOus, not one was known to 90
mad for forty years. Baron La
reux, Bonaparte's great surgeon, de-
clared that in Egypt, where these
animals are found in vast numbers,
being held by the natives in yene-
ration, and never put to death, hy-
drophobia is unknown. AT Allepo,
also, where the dogs perish in
great numbers from want of food
and water, and the heat of the
climate, the disease never occurs.
The cause Of hydrophobia in the
dog is yet yelled in considerable
doubt, many of the scientific men
contending that it is communicated
alone by the bite, and is indie
pendent of hot weather and putrid
provisions, while others contend
that it may originate like typhus
fever IN man that is, by confine-
ment without exercise, in close,
unhealthy kennels. The disease
has been known to originate in
Russia in the winter time as often as
in the summer. When we remember
that the dog has a skin covered
with hair, and that he depends upon
his nose and mouth alone to keep
him cool in hot weather, as his per-
and the evaporation there
from takes place only from these
sources, how cruel it must be to the
poor animal to cucumber the one
and close up the other with a muz-
zle. A muzzle to be effective must
fit in such a way as to prevent the
dog from drinking or eating, as he
could certainly bite if able to eat
with the muzzle on. Again, as
there should be no taxation save on
property, in case valuable dogs are
may not the city be liable to
troublesome suits? | think this or
dinance should be repealed at the
next meeting of the City Council,
and one should be enacted recurring
every dog to be levied on and killed,
provided the tax has not been paid.
In this way the pack of yelping
ours may be got rid of, which was
the original intention of the enact
