A suspected IncendIary,

1t is believed by number of persons in
tere>te that the fire in the house No. 45
Warren street OH Monday was incendiary.
There is considerable evidence against a
person suspected of the crime, and an arrest
will probably be made. Mr.. Charles Cush-
ing, who lives on Newbury street, son of
Captain Benjamin Cushing, owner of the
house, told reporter last night he had no
doubt that the fire was incendiary. He said:
''The person suspected was seen in front Of
my house at s o'clock Monday night.
Four boys, whose names have, saw per-
son, who answers to the description OF the
one suspected about the premises one day
last week, and he was also seen to enter the
house by neighbor last week, and was seen
in the yard ON the afternoon Of the fire. l
have informed Marshal Hawkes. of these
facts and an investigation will probably be
made. There are reasons, also, why the per
son suspected should set the fire."

she Didn't Get Left.

A few days ago Mrs. Annie Cary Raymond
came east to pass few days with her family.
and after brief visit in Portland she went
out to Falmouth. 1t seems that the moist
weather had swelled a little creek in the vi
cinity of the village to almost the proportions
of river, and the friend of the family who
went to the station for Mrs. Raymond and
party found that his horse showed decided
disinclnation to ford the rushing current.
To accustom the animal to the water the man
made the horse cross two or three times.
When he returned with Mrs. Raymond the
horse passed over the creek, but with consid-
cradle hesitation.
The party spent the day in the village and
when train time came started for the railway
station. When they reached the creek the
horse obstinately declined to cross. Not an
inch would he bulge. There was the creek,
and in the distance the railway station, with
train time fast approaching. Here was d.
lemma. What was to be done? Mrs. Ray
mond must get to the city. 1t would not
have been Annie Cary If she had not risen
to the situation. She despatched the driver
to farm house, short distance off, and had
him bring cart drawn by a yoke of oxen.
Into the cart stepped the former cdntatrice,
the driver took up the goad and the quiet
beasts stepped into.the ice-cold water. For
moment they hesitated, then pushed forward
and reached the station just as the painting
engine halted for a moment and gave an OPP
portunity to board the cars There is one
thing certain, Annie didn't get left.

RunaWays.

AS Mr. Phinney, the zee dealer, was driy-
ing on Commercial street yesterday in
sleigh, one of the runners got caught in the
railroad track tipping the sleigh over and
throwing Mr.. Phinney out. The horse be-
came heightened and started to run away,
dragging Mr.. Phinney. whose leg was caught
in the sleigh. The horse fell down upon the
track once but quickly regained his feet and
turned up Cross street. The two horse jig
ger of Harris, Gage & Tolman stood across
the street and the frightened horse jumped
between the horses and the, jigger, cutting
himself quite badly and also breaking the
pole of the jigger. Mr.. Phinney was not
badly hurt, but in the course of his short
ride through the muddy streets, both boots
pulled off and left behind in different places
in the thorouehfare. The sleigh was not
much damaged so that everything consider
ed, although not altogether pleasant runa-
way, it was not very destructive one.
A pair of horses attached to hack belong
ing to Fernald & Sawyer, became frightened
in front of the house of Mr.. Franklin j. Roll
Inns, just as the driver was placing a trunk
on the hack, and ran away. They ran up
Pine street at furious speed, the hack
swaying first to one side and then to the 9TH
er, and looking every minute as if it would
be tipped over. AT the head Of Thomas
street tie horses ran into snow drift, freed
themselves and continued down Thomas
street, leaving the hack comparatively unin-
jured in the snow The horses were caught
and found to have escaped without injury.

THE DALLAS.
Good Work Done by the Gutter on
Our Coast.

The U. S. revenue steamer Dallas, Capt.
Barr, arrived in port yesterday from cruise
to the eastward. She has been gone just five
days, and in that short time has rendered as
sistanee to twenty-three vessels The Dal-
las shows plainly the hard work she has per-
formed this winter. uer ice-breaker is com
pletely worn out and presents a most dilapi-
dated appearance as it lies on deck. Her
copper is torn and ragged from stem to stern,
the stern metal torn away, and a portion of
the grippe gone with it. The paint is worn
off, planking chafed. and the blades of the
propeller so bent and twisted as to be nearly
useless.
Constantly underway, cruising In every dl-
rection, assisting vessels in distress, towing
others laden with supplies to various ISLANDS
in Penobscot Bay and warning others away
from danger, she has passed busy winter.
She made the first practicable channel
through the ice in Deer Island Thorough
fare on the 10th inst, and brought through
the schooner Mary Rose, the first sailing
vessel to get through since the ice closed 1t.
She also made the first practicable channel
through Fox Island Thoroughfare, taking
through the schooners Centennial and Little
Inez, on the oath inst, which were the first
sailing vessels passing through that thor
oughfare. She also broke up and cleared
the ice from North Haven, releasing all the
vessels frozen up in that port.
Finding that merely cutting channel into
Belfast was of no permanent benefit, as the
track Immediately closed again, the Dallas
set to work to cut through the ice bridge
which closed West Penobscot Bay, extend
| ing from Turtle Head, Long Island, to
| NOrthpolt on the west, and Brigadier Island
| on the east. On the 18th inst. a mile and a
| half of solid ice was cut through, enabling
| the Bangor steamer Katahdin to pass mp,
| and that night the ice moved out of Belfast
Bay, overturning the stone beacon marking
| the shoal on the eastern side. The whole
| enormous field broke up and moved to the
| eastward, permanently opening the harbors
| of Belfast and Searsport, and enabling YES
| sells to navigate the western bay.
| On the evening of the 18th, the Dallas ar
| rived in Deer Island Thoroughfare Just in
| time to rescue the schooners +. K. Tower
and K. p. Newcomb. The ice had broken
1 away from the east side of the thOr0ughfare,
| and driving before the fierce gale of that
date, carried with 1t the two schooners,
which nothing but the timely appearance Of
| the Dallas and her prompt aid, prevented
from going on the rocks Too much praise
cannot be given to the cutters on our coast
| for the great amount of valuable service
| done In the four months of winter cruising.
The officers of the Dallas express them
selves as happy in being of use, but rejoice
In the near approach of the close of winter
| cruising which occurs on the 31st inst. The
| cutter will have to be extensively repaired
before going TO sea again. Capt. Barr says
| that his last cruise was one OF the most IN
teresting and exciting Of the season.
