A Dog That Answers Fire Alarms,

when Chief Foley wss driving by at his
usual speed In response to an alarm,
might have noticed a large black dog
bounding along directly In front of the
chiefs horse, barking f%uriously and snap
ping at that animals legs. The dog
maintained his position In front Of the
horse until Buffalo street was reached,
| when some boys drove 1t back.
''That dog has given me more annoy
ance than you can imagine" said the
chief last evening, In speaking Of the in.

last winter he has ran In front of my
horse at every fire. he belongs, / be-
lleve, to a saloon keeper on East Water
street, and every time the bell sounds he
is In front of the station before we get
out, and he never tackles any Other
horse but the one l am driving. Why,
that dog has run all the way In front OF
my horse up to Garfield avenue and
Twelfth street, barking and swapping all
the time. Every time / come back from
a fire | made up my mind to shoot that
dog, because i am afraid he will cause
the horse to stumble some time, but ther
think, well, he won't come again.
However, at the very next alarm, wher

PoRT JERvIs, N. Y, May 24.-W. p.
Hale and Elk companions of Roses
Switch had a thrilling encounter with
rattlesnakes oil Sunday at a ledge known
ar the Snakes Den. 1t was very warm
and the snakes had crawled into the
brush to sun themselves and were raising
their heads all along the path they had
come and were dsrting their poisonous
fangs in aud out In a very threatening
manner. The party struck with their
heavy clubs right and left, the reptiles
sounded their rattles and leaped angrily
at the legs of their assallants, and formed
In battle array in the path as If to cut off
their escape. 1t was a trying struggle,
and when at last the worn-out men had
forced their way outside the dangerous
circle they were able to count more than
fifty huge snakes dead In the path, many
measuring elk feet In length. They
brought them into town to-day aud sold
them to a dealer in snake oil and rdttles.

CAGING A NOTED CROOK.
The 'Prince of Cracks nen" Once
More Lodged Behind the
Bars,

New York Special.
The detective force, under the super
vision of Inspector Byrne, made an i'm
portant arrest. On April 90 ult, the .afe
of Smith & Co., at 40 Park place, was
robbed of all 1t contained worth having
On Thursday night last s.. B. Hoton &
Co., of 80 Frankfort street, suffered a
similar loss. The negotiable amounts
taken In either case were not large, but
the methods of manipulation in each
instance were similar. Inspector Byrne
knew Gustavls Kent, alias French Gus,
alias Isadore Marshall, who has escaped
from imprisonment several times, was re-
leased from Sing Sing about a year ago.
The inspector knew that French Gus was
Ia New York, and suspected that from
the uses employed Kent might be the
man he wanted. He detailed Detectives
Lyon, King, O'Connor and Slawson to
watch for Kent. These officers learned
that Mrs. Rose Kent, a daughter of
Kent, who lives at 4I5 East
Twelfth had In her house many
of the articles taken In tho rob.
berries. They had also learned that Kent
occupied the room at SO Market street,
and here they arrested him, When
Kent was told of the finding of
the bonds, postage stamps and other
things at his daughters residence, he
confessed to the burglary, but main
tanned that he had secured only about
1882 In money, instead of the $500 or
80 he was charged with having taken.
Kent is a Belgian, about 40 years old.
He boasts that safe locks are no barrier
to him. In 1869 he was sent to Sing
Sing for robbing Wheeler & Parsons, of
Brooklyn, of several hundred dollars
worth of watch cases. On February 8,
1871, he cut the bars of his cell with
some fine Jaws that had been smuggled
to him, and escaped. On October II,
1872, he was rsarrested for burglary In
H~sckensack, N. j., but was turned over
to the authorities here to serve his term
of ten years. While In prison this time,
Kent contrived q lever lock, which would
lock all the cell doUrs on a floor at oncs.
The prison officials were pleased with the
invention and recommended Kent's par.
don, but Governor Tilden would not let
the man go free. At this Kent refused
to surrender his "patent." In 1876
Kent again escaped by the help OF the
man In charge of the cooper-shop. He
made his way to Montreal, where he
quito promptly tried to rob a pawnshop.
He was caught and got three years
While In Canada he sold the lever lock
to the authorities, and it is now In gen.
ersl use in the prisons of the Dominion,
