Pauper Immigration.

NEW YORK, June 25 Tie im migra-
ion Commissioners held special meet
ng today toconsider what IN easures they
should take to prevent pauper immigra-
tiOn from Great Britain. Commissioner
Stephenson said that he had procured
atfidavits from several immigrants,
showing that they had been inmates of
several poor houses in Ireland and that
they had been induced to come to this
country by the workhouse masters, from
whom they had received their passage
tickets and small sums of money.
After some discussion of the subject
it was resolved to instruct the Secretary
of the Board to detain all immigrants
who are proved to be sent here by funds
furnished by the British Government,
and to appoint com nittee of the board
to wait on the Collector of the Port and
present affidavits taken in regard to
such cases and ask that the Steamship
Companies which brought such immi-
grants here be compelled to return them
to the port from whence they came a.
their own expense. ar

One day recently, as the south-bound

above Edgemoor station, on the p, w.
& B. Railroad, cat that had evidently
been asleep in the bushes on the oppo-
site side of the track from her home,
started up atfrighted and ran alongside
the train, trying to get ahead Of the en-
gine to cross to the other side. The en-
gineer saw the animal, and opening his
throttle, let the engine go at full speed
for a short distance without gaining
much on his feline competitor, and had
it not been that he was obliged to stop
at Edgemoor, it is hard to tell how far
this singular race would have lasted.
When he commenced to slack up the
cat gained on the engine, and just be-
fore it reached the station, shot across
the track, about one foot ahead of it,
and ran under the board walk almost
