Dental Bill Law.

The house yesterday passed what
is known as the dental bill, and all
the dentists of the city and we pre-
sumo, the state, are jubilant. This
bill has been before the legislature s
years and the senate passed it but the
house made fun of it, pigeon-holed it,
until yesterday when the text of the
was passed. DR.. J. NJ. Cain, of our
city, deserves good deal of credit for
this, as he has worked indefatigably
for it's passage. The bill now provides
that dentists before being allowed to
practice in this state, must be regular
ly examined before an examining
board and, if possessing the requisite
qualifications, is given certificates and
can practice. 1t stops quackery in
dentistry.

Gone Down With All on Board.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The con-
census of the opinion among shipping
men here is that the steamer lost off
the Virginia coast last week, was the
Nanticoke, from Newport News, Va,
for Honduras, which was loaded down
to the ,gunwales. The supposition is
the Nanticoke encountered equinoc-
tial gales, and being dangerously
loaded, could make no Roadway and
put back for Chesapeake bay. In
this attempt she probably foundered.
She had a crew of Is or IA men.

Crime of DissoIute Women.

LAWRENCE, Mass, March 26.-An-
other shocking sensation occurred
here about LOO o'clock this morning;
officers Shea and Sullivan heard ter
rible screams issuing from an alley
way, connecting Bradford and Lowell
streets, in the lower settled portion of
the city, and quickly running to the
spot, they found lying upon the
ground, a woman, bathed in blood
from CHASTITY wounds. At the police
station, examination disclosed hor-
ribie state of affairs. On the woman's
head was found terrible cut, over
the right temple and another on the
top of the head. The right ear was
chopped off. There was bad cash
under the right eye and the right
side of the neck was badly hacked.
The eyes were closed from the effects
of blows. The skull was fractured
and the jaw bones were broken.
After the wounds were dressed the
woman was taken to the hospital and
Captain Conner, with officers, went to
the alley where the crime was COM
mitted and began investigation.
They found leading from the spot dis
tinct blood tracks, which they
followed to a house facing the
alley on Lowell street near
by, and occupied by one Honora
Kelleher. A pool of blood
was found in the room of the Kelleher
woman, and the woman herself was
discovered in bed, in condition of
beastly intoxication, with a bottle of
whisky by her. In the stove was
found a partially burned paper cover
ed with blood, and a wOman's hat.
The Kelleher woman upon being
aroused and questioned declared the
blood came on the floor from a beef
steak. She was arrested. Investiga-
ton shows the injured woman, whose
name is Mary Arshal, had been on a
spree with the Kelleher woman all
the previous evening; both women
are dissolute characters.
