Hsome three years ago, when
making trip across the CONT
mental divide, stopped for dinner
at a ooadside tavern, situated in a
creek valley; close at hand was a
prailie dog town numbering over
five hundred inhabitants. Not
long since had occasion to stop at
the same house and saw that the
same level prairie once occupied
by nraisie dogs, had been enclosed
plowed, and was then covered
with a luxuriant crop of grass
Seeing no signs of the little beasts,
upon asking what had become OF
them | was told that they had been
exterminated in the following way:
Balls of cotton rags were saturat-
ed with bisulphate of carbon-an

and holes firmly packed with. Bl-
sl,nhate of carbon being an ex-

evaporates and forms heavy gas,
which occupies every chamber and

THE NAVY.

Annual Report of Admiral ID. ID. Porter,
Commanding Officer of the United States
Navy.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The annual
report of Admiral d. d. Porter, the COM
handing officer of the United States
navy, shows that most of the ships in
the navy are in good condition. The re-
ceiving-ship Dale has rotten hull.
Four vessels, the Antietam, the Juniata,
the Pilgrim and the Quinnebaug, have
been condemned and ordered to be sold
for the sums of $500, 1000, S., 900 and
SIS, 0G0 respectively.
The Admiral makes but one recon-
mendation, which is contained in the
following paragraph:
It has been customary for reports of exer-
cises on board ships of war to be sent to me
for examination. I have frequently found
these reports so satisfactory. and the reg
ulatons SO imperfectly complied with, that
l am of the opinion that they should be made
directly to the Bureau of Navigation, where
they would come directly under the eye OF
the department.. Many things which are OBJ
sOlete are still adhered to in these reports, the
forms for which were made twenty years ago.
Since then the system of naval tactics and
exercises has entirely changed. I therefore
beg leave to recommend that under the sys-
tenn about to be inaugurated in the navy, en-
xrely new forms for exercise reports be
adopted.

lit CUTS A BIG FIGURE.

Knife that was Found on Dan COughlin
when Arrested just Identified as Hav-
ing Belonged to DIR. Cronin, But Almost
Too Late to Cut Any Figure in the Case.
CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Barney Flynn,
the officer that took Dan Coughlin to
jail the day his arrest was ordered by
Chief Hubbard, yesterday informed his.
superior officer that at the time Of
Coughlin's arrest two pocket knives.
were found in his possession, and that,
at Coughlin's request he took them to
the Fidelity Safety Deposit and locked
them up. After conference of police
officials Chief Hubbard visited the de-
posit vault and secured the knives. It
is reported that one of these knives has
been identified as having belonged to
DR.. Cronin. When seen in regard to the.
pocket-knife story Chief Hubbard said:
Eyes, it is true. It's another case, in
my opinion, of Clan-na-Gael control.
And to think that it comes just when it.
is too late to use. Great God! When
will these disclosures cease?" Chief
Hubbard would not say who identified
the knife. nor any thing further in re-
gard to the case.
Observation-Disclosures in relation to the
above was admitted at the last moment,
despite the objections of counsel for the
defense.

THE OYSTER WAR.

Sensational Arrest of Two Oyster-Drcdg-
ing Captains-Great Excitement Among
the Oystermen Along the Border Line
Dismissed with Small Fine.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 30.---The Amer
leans special from Readsville, Va, says
the excitement among oystermen was
intensified yesterday by the arrest of
two oyster-dredging captains Swift of
the pungy Parks, and Hoadley of the
pungy Regulator-both of Tappahan-
mock, Va.,-for dredging on Hog Island
flats. The two oysterers were pounced-
upon by the police tug Augusta, Cap
tain Russell, and ordered to surrender:
instead they made for the Coan river,
the Augusta in pursuit. The police
steamer Chesapeake joined in the chase
and overlook the PUNCHES.
Captains Hoadly and Swift were
taken before a magistrate, to whom
they exhibited copies of Baltimore
newspapers containing the proclamation
of Governor jackson of Maryland,
throwing the Hog Island flats open to
the oystermen of both Maryland and
Virginia.
The magistrate discharged both Cap
tains with small fine.
Governor Jackson's proclamation was.
issued on the strength of the decision.
rendered by Mr.. Whiting, of the United
States Coast Survey, that the fats were
on the Maryland side of the boundary
line. There is great excitement am ong-
the oystermen.

and occupied by Brown, Durrel a Co,
dry goods dealers, at Bedford and King
ston streets, it spread to the Shoe and
Leather Exchange building, another
large granite structure adjoining on
Bedford street, thence across Bedford
street to the opposite corner, thence
across Kingston street and along Bed
ford to Chauncey street, where it was
stopped in the store of Farley, Harvey
& Co., the upper stories of which were
burned. Three stores along Chauncey
street toward Summer were burned. On
the south side of Bedford street the
flames jumped across Kingston from
Brown, Durrell & Co. IS to big sand
stone building owned by F. Z. Ames
and occupied by Taylor Bros, and this
was consumed.
The great granite building known as
the Nevins' block, at the corner of
Chauncey street, was the next victim
for the flames, and the entire block,
clear around Rowe Place to Kingston
street, was consumed. Crossing Chaun-
cey street the fire soon had good hold
on all the stores which are inclosed in
Exeter Place, small street running
from Harrison street to Chauncey.
Here the firemen got control. At Rowe
Place the fire was partially checked
from going toward Essex street, but
quickly moved toward the opposite side
to the immense Allen s. Larrabee build
ings, occupying the square between
Bedford street, Harrison avenue extern
sion and Exeter Place, at which point
their further progress was checked.
There are about two hundred firms
burned out and one hundred agent of
New York and Western firms have had
their headquarters destroyed. The
seventy nine insurance companies
known to be interested carry an aggre-
gate insurance of $1,000, 900 on the
burned property.
This fire, coming as it does on the top
of the great blaze at Lynn. is crushing
blow to many of the smaller insurance
companies, and it is not at all unlikely
that it will cause the suspension of not
few of them

A PATENT DENIED.

xi.mund Odenheimer Denied . Patent FOR
Cotton Baggtng - . Substitute for the
Jute Article ON the Ground that II - Not
the Product Of Original Inventive Fac-
ulty.
WASHINGTON, Nov. So In deciding
the application of Sigmund odenheimer
for patent for baling fabric, Commits
sioner Mitchell says:
The most conspicuous change made by
the inventor to produce his alleged inven-
ton was the substitution OF cotton tor juto>
in the manufacture of bagging The appli-
cant urged that cotton was especially adapted
for the use in such manufacture, BECAUSE.
unlike jute. it is not highly inf1ammable, not
brittle, inelastic rough, and that 1t can
commercially compete with jute, notwith-
standing its greater cost. He further claimed
that the discovery Of its value for such use
was the result Of long experiment. attended
by large expense, in ascertaining how the
threads should be spun with u great deal OF
twist so as to give uniform smoothness and
hardness and lightness in weight; and also
that he found it necessary to omit the sizing
process, which diminished the elasticity of
the threads. The Commissioner, following
the recent decision of the Supreme Court
in Brown VS.. District of Columbia (where
the alleged invention in pavement con-
sisted in substituting especially shaped
wooden blocks, laid and filled in certain
way, for blocks of stone, held, that, notwith-
standing the advantage secured by the al
legged invention, and the commercial success,
1t had received, the applicant had, in substf-
tuting one material for another, only availeda
himself of the resources and knowledge of
the weavers' art; that the experiment. and
trials practiced by him were merely along
the lines suggested by the skill and expert
ence pertaining to the calling, involving the
intelligent manipulation of the Materials
and that the supposed invention was not the
creative work of the inventive faculty which
the laws contemplated to encourage and re-
ward.

E-cderickscn In New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.--It is known to
the police authorities here, that Fred
erickson, the head of the firm that is ac-
cused of land swindling in Chicago and
other Northwestern cities, came to New
York about week ago and visited
friends in this city and Brooklyn. No
demand for his arrest has been received
from Chicago, consequently the police
here are merely keeping track of his
movements. From information they
have gathered the police believe that
Fredericksen has no money and that he
has been made the victim of sharpers
