BLAZE IN il PICKERY.
Fire at the Cotton Factory Threat
ems Serious Damage.

ems Serious Damage.
A fire broke out in the pickery of the
cotton factory on Guerard street, few
minutes before 3 O'clock yesterday after
noon. 1t originated in one OF the picking
machines, aud is supposed to have been
caused by spark from some hard sab.
lstauce, which was In the cotton, coming
30 contact with a revolving cylinder
The flames spread rapidly over some loose
cotton which was Ia the room, and a spark
com municated TO some other cot
ton which was spread out
ION the roof to dry, and
from this several bales which were lying
near the building out IN the yard caught.
For a while it seemed as though there
would be u serious fire, but prompt action
on the part OF the employees OF the factory
soOn got the flames under control. An
Blarm was turned in from box % al 40
O'Clock, to which fire engines aud 3 8ld
the hook and ladder truck promptly re-
spOnded. The fremen were at work for
an hour playing on the shoulder
3ng bales. A line of hose was
1eft on hand all night, 80 as to be in readi-
ness in case the flames should break OUT
again. The loss will probably not amount
TO much, as the cotton was only slnged
over. aud the most of it can be used. The
factory and contents are fully insured
On tive or six companies.

alarm from box IA AS soon as the fire.
Inen arrived the doors were broken open,

burning goods and in five minutes the fire
was out. The goods were then carried
out OF the building, aud what fire there
was left was smOthered. All of the goods
on the counter were damaged, but outside
of that the loss is slight.
The place where the fire started was

Jay Gould has become an inventor as
we'll as capitalist. He noticed while
travelling on the New York elevated rail-
road that the elbows OF passengers whose
arms were extended over the top OF the
backs of seats were liable to be dug into
the backs OF passengers in front. he dis
covered that this was the source of a
great many quarrels and large amount
Of profanity among the passengers of the
elevated roads, and at his suggestion it is
being obviated by having a thin piece of
ornamental board added to the backs OF
these cross seats, thus interposin= an
etectual barrier between competing ell
bows and backs

An Engines Remarkable Record.

The Toronto Globe says: ''Some time
ago the Scientific American had the state
ment that Baldwin engine, No. 165, on the
Bound Brook route had a remarka able rec
ord, viz, that of having run 119, $50 miles
cOnsecutively, without any general re-
pairs, her weight having not once been
lifted from her drivers In that period
This was considered by the Baldwin Lo-
connective Company themselves as an ex-
traOrdinAry record, especially in view OF
the fact that the ordinary run Of a loco
motive without general repairs will aver
age less tnau $4,000 miles. The record OF
the Baldwin locomotive has been tar ex-
ceeded in Canada. Engine No. 81 on the
Northern and Northwestern railway
WAS built at the Brooks Locomotive
Works, at Dunkirk, n. Y, and without
any general repairs, has exceeded the
best record by more than the ordinary
LIE of locomotive. Its total mileage,
without any general repairs has aggre-
gated l90,554, aud in running that dis
lance has not had even a pin, brass, a
driving brass, or flue taken out in that
mileage. Alter she had run 1910 miles
she had a slight accident which necessi-
tated her being taken off her wheels, and
she then had her tires turned. Since that
she has run 1888 miles without being
lifted off her wheels"

A Dog That Understands.

There is a Boston Newfoundland
dog, Lion, by name, who gives proof
of his comprehensions of what is said
to him. A lady called on his mistress
the other day. During her call Lion
came in rather slyly, lay down on the
parlor carpet and went to sleep. The
conversation ran on, and the visitor
said finally:
what a handsome Newfoundland
you have?''
Lion opened one eye. "Yes," said
his mistress, che is very good dog,
and takes excellent care of the chill
dren.'
Lion opened the other eye and wav-
ed his tail complacently to and fro
along the carpet.
''When the baby goes out he always
goes with her, and I feel perfectly sure
then that no harm can come to her, -
his mistress went on.
Lions tail thumped up and down
violently on the carpet.
And he is so gentle to them all, and
such playmate and companion to
them, that we would not take a thous-
and dollars for him.
Lions tail now went up and down,
to and fro. and round and round with
great and undisguised glee.
but, said his mistress, 'Lion has
one serious fault

gether with the appearance of an ex.
preston of great concern Ton his face.
HE will come in here with his dirty
feet and lie down on the carpet, when

Here Lion arose with an air of the
utmost detection and humiliation and
skunk out OF the room, with his lately
exuberant tail totally crestfallen.
