The Woman with a Pug.

The New York correspondent of the De-
troit Free Press thus writes of woman and
a dog: An Erie train was ready to leave
the Jersey City depot few nights ago, and
most of the passengers were settled in their
seats. A woman leading an English pug,
with as ugly face as any pug ever wore,
approached a car at which a sturdy brake
man with an Irish accent was on guard.
She was tall and stout, with the tread of a
drum major and brigadier's commission in
her face. eye must put that dog in the
baggage kyar, ma'a am" said the brakeman.
81 am going in this car" said the woman;
''stand out of the way" "But ye can't
take the dog ma'am." 81 shall take the
dog" ''Not in this kyar, ma am" 'Stand
aside, l say. How dare you keep me out Ct
the car?' ''Ye can go into the kyar at
vance, ma am, but the dog can't; it's agen
the rules" She attempted to push past the
brakeman, and he took hold of the dog.
'Take your hands off my dog" she yelled;
"take your hands off my dog. How dare you
put your hands on my darling dog?" HE
can't go in the kyar, ma'am." 'But / say
he shall" ''Not while I'm here, ma am.
Take him to the baggage kyar; that's where
he belongs 81 shan't put him in the bag
gage car, you horrid brute. 1t would kill him.
He has never been away from me five min
utes in his life. Come, darling" she won't
come in here, ma am" ''Will you stand
aside, sirrah?'' ''No, ma'am; this is me
place." 'You will make me lose the train"
''Can't help that, ma'am; it's all on account
O. the dog, an purity one he is" "If lose

Where's the conductor? l must see him:
Conductors are gentlemen. Where is her.
''There he is ma'am, givn' the signal; fe

hour. And the dog was looking after the

Hymns"
Mr.. McKenney referred to the name of the
Saviour, "His name shall be called Jesus, be-
cause he shall save his people from their sins,
wished to secure their souls salvation, and
then live good moral lives. They do not real
ize that Jesus is present Saviour, and is able
to save us from our sins even to the uttermost.
Give a man health and chance to make
money and he does not want better heaven.
When misfortune comes he feels the need of
redeemer. People must be made to see sin be-
fore they will loathe it.
During the afternoon the different ideas Of
sin were alluded to by lady.
Mr.. McKenney said: 1--WE have one stand
ard-living contrary to the will of God is sin.
There will be no excuse for us; for if we seek
to know the will of God, we shall be given
wisdom to fulfill all our duties in full accord
ance with the will Of God The Israelites had
sacrifice for the sins of omission, always
burning upon their altar; even SO we have in
the precious blood of Jesus, an atonement for
all unconscious sins of omission. God raises our
standard as we advance in the Christian life,
as earthly parents do according to the age and
capacity Of their children"

AMERICAN CATTLE.


Chancellor Dodson Sharply Answered by
Acting Secretary French.
WASHINGTON, Aeg. 20.-The acting Secretary
letter to the Secretary of State in regard to
the foot and mouth disease in cattle:
81 enclose herewith newspaper slip con-
tanning teiegraphic despatch from London,
England, in which it is alleged that Mr.. Dod-
son, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster,
stated on the 18th inst, in the House of Com
mons, that it was an undoubted fact that the
foot and mouth disease in cattle had been car
riad from England to America and that the
American quarantine system in relation to
cattle diseases gave no security against the
conveyance of the disease by men attached to
quarantine stations and by articles taken out
of quarantine yards, and that the system took
into consideration only the animals themselves.
deem it due to American interests to state
that ii the gentleman named made the re-
marks attributed to him, it must have been
done without q knowledge of all the facts in
the case; and that Ia some respects such re-
marks are calculated to mislead the public
mind on the subject. Attention is called to
the enclosed report OF the Treasury cattle COM
mission, daJed the 21st ult. In regard to foal
and mouth disease among the cattle of the
United States. While it is admitted that this
disease did exist in herds of cattle imported
from Great Britain, the commission gives an
emphatic denial TO the present existence of the
disease among the cattle of the United States
This statement is considered important, be-
cause it might be inferred from the remarks of
Dodson as quoted that the disease which had
thus been imported from Great Britain had
not been eIadicated. Ample quarantine sta
tions exist in the districts of Boston, Mass,
Portland, Me-, and as no contagious or infect
ious diseases among the cattle of those States
exist, the possibility of these diseases being
communicated to our cattle by cattle arriving
at these ports (Which are the only ports on the
New England frontier where cattle are allowed
to be quarantined) is quite remote. l call
special attention to the stringent regulations
governing the quarantine of cattle, herewith
enclosed, which go far beyond the scope con-
tempated in the remarks attributed to Dob
son. think if these regulations are properly
carried out they will prove sufficient to guard
against the introduction of contagious diseases
by importation of foreign cattle at the ports
where quarantine is established / have the
honor to request that copy of this letter and
of IFS encloslves be sent to the British Minis
ter at this capitol for the information of his
government. Very Respectfully,
III. It. FRENCH,
Acting Secretary.

AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
Caught in Portland After Long Chase

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. H. A. ka Fetra,
agent Of the Royal Baking Powder Co., arriy ed
in this city and applied to the City Marshal for
assistance to 6nd one Irving b. Smith, alias
Sanborn, alias Seymour, alias Sanford, wanted
in Cleveland, Ohio, on charge of forgery.
Officer Black wss detailed to assist Mr.. La
Fetra in his search. Together they made the
round Of the hotels, aud in the evening die
covered their man playing billiards at the
United States, when he was arrested. Having
consented to accompany Mr.. La Fetra without
the formality Of extradition proceedings, they
left with an officer on the late express train to
Boston.
A short time ago the manufacturers of the
Royal Baking Powder discovered that parties
had placed on sale in Detroit spurious article
which was put up in cans and with labels the
exact counterfeit of their own. They at once
set about discovering the author of the imposi-
tion. The cans and dies for making them, an
extensive apparatus Of machinery, were made,
it is reported, by e. j. Breckenridge of Toledo,
o., and the labels and plat,s for printing them
were made by T. J. Walton of Salem, o. Both
these persons, we are informed by Mr.. La
Fetra, have been arrested and await trial. But
the principal in the business, Irving B. Smith,
manufacturer of another Baking Powder, who
carried on the illegitimate business under the
style of Sanborn & Hatch, e-caped He is
charged with a more serious crime than coun-
terfeting trademark, namely forgery, and it
was determined to pursue him and secure him
il possible. His father lives in Newton Lower
Falls, in Massachusetts,, and he was traced
there, and from there to Peabody and Salem,
and finally to Portland, where he was secured
as related. Smith is fine appearing young
fellow, and is but % years old.
Ali the spurious Royal Baking Powder that
was put on the market has been recovered and
destroyed, and the counterfeit cans and labels,
also the dies and plates from which they were
made, so that the whole illegitimate businers
has been destroyed and the guilty parties are
now all under arrest.

FIRES.
Lincoln House burned.

! Especial Despatch to the Portland Press.
! RICHMOND, Aug. 20.--About 3 o'clock this
morning parties living near the Lincoln House
were awakened by bright light shining in
their windows, and upon investigating, it was
found the ell and part of the stable attached to
the hotel were in flames. An alarm was
quickly raised, but before help arrived the fire
was beyond control, and soon the buildings
were reduced to mass of ruins. The house
was full Of guests, who were unaware of their
peril until the alarm was raised outside, and
they had barely time to escape.
j. L. Robinson, owner, and until recently
landlord of the hotel, was sleeping in the ell
and had narrow escape, being severely
burned in getting out of the building, and is
now suffering greatly from his injuries. A
small part of the furniture from the front
lower rooms was saved, but nearly everything,
including clothing and other property of board
ers and occupants of the house, was destroyed.
Mr.. Robinson lost a considerable sum of
money taken in by his teams running to the
camp grounds yesterday.
In the stable three pigs and three horses,
owned by Mr.. Robinson, and young horse,
valued at $780, belonging to Lewiston
gentleman, were burned. A wagon owned by
the American Express Company shared the
fate of the buildings, but nearly all the other
vehicles were removed from danger.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but it is
supposed it may have originated around the
kitchen chimney The loss is estimated at
between $6,o00 and $1,000; insurance on the
buildings, $4,000, and on the furniture $500, in
the German American Ins. Co. and the Niagara
Ins. Co. Of New York.
The hotel, which has had good run of GUS
tom since its start, was leased about a month
ago by Mr.. B. E. Plummer, we'll known by the
travelling public, and bid fair to become a
popular resort. Its loss will be sharply felt by
all concerned.
The dwelling of Mr. Ray Thompson, across
the yard from the hotel, was scorched and
otherwise injured to considerable extent, as
were other surrounding buildings. which were
saved only by the active exertions of our
citizens.
Great service was done by the fire apparatus
of the Southland Manufacturing Co. and the
shoe factory, in protecting those important
points to the village and buildings adjacent.
There being no wind at the time Of the fire
saved the village from what would probably
have been an irreparable disaster.
