CALVERT, January This morning
about 3:45 the alarm of fire was sounded,
when it was discovered that Blagg's sad
dlery and harness shop WAS on fire. The
ocb was insured for $500. 1t was worth
about $4,000. The stock was entirely de-
stroyed. Mr.. Blagg is confident it was
incendiary. He offers $500 in connec-
ton with the insurance company, as re-
! ward for the party that did the work. The
house belonged to Adoue. The house also
was insured, and can be repaired all right
! without buildings new structure. But for
the energy of Mayor George Burclt
| in putting down fire clsterns about month
ago the fire department would have been
almost helpless The fremen worked like
Turks, and confined the fire to the one
building.
While saving frame house adjoining,
Mr. Andrew Wagner, clerk Of Adone q Mis-
trots, jumped from the top of their dry
goods store to the tin awning, falling
through to the sidewalk, receiving con-
siderable Jar but no serious injury.
| A fight occurred between two colored
men, one knocking the other down with q
large hook pole belonging to the hook and
ladder company.

The funeral Of DR.. William {. Taylor,
whose sudden death last Saturday III
Northumberland county, Va, has been
noted I'm the American, took place yester-
day afternoon from his residence, NO. 25o

brought on Yesterday from Virginia. There
were large number OF the friends OF the
deceased. as well rs the members and en-
ploycs of the firm Of Candy, Gilpin Co.,
with which DR.. Taylor was connected.
Rev. John Leyburn, ID. D.. conducted the

The pall-bearers were Thomas Langdon,

mains 10 this city, confirmed the particulars

TAYLOR had passed the residence OF Lyttleton
Cotrill, near BURGESS store, about 8
O'Clock. last Saturday afternoon. He was
on his way 70 spend the night at DIR. Tan

was found Sunday morning lying in a

A Fasf-Pacing Dog.

The Morning Call, OF California, says:
"There is q pacing greyhound, bred ana
reared in Tulare county, though now own
ed in Gait. His fastest gait $50 his owner
claims) is pace, or, Mt least, he has no oc-
casion to break into q gallop to accomplish
all that he is called upon to do. 1t is said
that he can turn a mare OH pace, and when
led by the side OF a horse will put the
equine toa racing stride to keep up with the
canine. His owner proposes to match HIM
against any pacing or trotting horse which
can be brought, and will risk reasonable
amount OF money that the dog will prove
the victor. He is rather larger than the
average OF dogs OF his race, and has pc
cuIiar formation, His shoulders are com,
paratively staight and his back arched.
TO usta horsey expression, he is OF 'rangy,
build, rather coarser than a majority oil
the breed and with a powerful confgura-
ton in every point. The advocates OF cold
blood in trotters have always claimed Il
plebeian origin for the PAGER, which Is far
from being the truth, rs the best are in d.
rect descent from the thoroughbred. Thus
the families TO which Pocahontas, Snug
oler, Sleepy Tom, and others belonged
trace to Cadmus, thoroughbred son OF
American Eclipse. The Denmarks have
imported Hedgeiord for an ancestor, and
Colonel Lewis, who could pace fast before
he was taught TO trot. is IA son OF Riileman
The dam of Nimrod is given as by Bel
mont. Longfellow is OF high breeding. and
Jim Brown comes from the quarter stock
of Oregon. Though dogs OF nearly all the
breeds frequently pace when going slow,
this is probably the first instance OF great
speed at that gait. II was formerly thought
that pacing was peculiar to American
horses, and doubtless the fast pace was first
cultivated on this side OF the world"

IN THE SOUTHwEsT.-The greatest rail-
way enterprise now on foot is the extension
OF the Denver and Rio Grande railroad
from Denver through New Mexico, Texas,
and the Mexican republic. When compile
ted the road will be 1000 miles long. An
army of workmen arc now regularly em-
ployed in the construction, and building Is
going on simultaneously from both ends OF
the route. One authority puts the number
employed in this work at not less than
80, 900 men, q much greater force than the
whole United States army. Attic same time
it is said the railway company has advertised
IN Great Britain for 10000 laborers to work
in Colorado and Utah. The country
through which the road passes is by nc
means attractive, and 80 destitute OF timber
tlat all material of that kind has TO be i'm.
p ,rted from Louisiana and Florida. About
77j miles Of road are now operated by Tho
K Grande company. The entire grading
OF the Texas Pacific railroad will be finish.
ed to FL Paso in few weeks, and the CAR
are expected to run in there in January
next.
