A Terrible Catastrophe Is Mar

A Terrible Catastrophe Is Mar
rowly Averted.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Jan. 1.-The
ferry boat Tiburon, one of the largest
on the San Francisco bay, was totally
destroyed by fire this afternoon. The
loss is $4,000, the insurance $4,000.
The Tiburon connects with trains of
the San Francisco and Northern Pa
cific railways at Ti0uron on the Marion
county shore, and had arrived from
Tiburon at 1910 p. m. with a
large number of passengers. AT
o'clock a fire was discovered and
the flames spread so rapidly that moth
ing could be done to save the boat as
she lay tied up to the wharf. 1t is sup
posed the fire started in the boats
kitchen, as there was hot fire in the
range. The boat would have left at
1:30 o'clock for TiDuron with another
large load of passengers, and had the
fire broken out few minutes sooner or
later than it did a frightful catastrophe
would have been the result.

STREET RAILWAY DEAL.
The st. Louis Roads Likely to
Change Hands.

CndnGe e1anuS.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, jar. 1.-Recent street
railway deals, with rumors of Others,
have led to thorough inquiry as to
who is behind the new movement, with
the result of an arrival at belief that
consolidation of all the lines in the city
would ultimately result, with the now
weil-known Eastern syndicate IN con-
troll, viz: Lee, Higginson 81 Co., Bos-
ton; Daniel Lamont, w. G.. Whitney
and others of New York. This informa-
ton was gathered from the remarks Of
Charles Green, one. of the leading
street railway men of the city.
do you really think this syndicate
wants to get the st, Louis roads?"
81 do" replied Mr.. Green, land they
will get there, too. 1t is only matter
of time"
"Haye any overtures been made to
your
Mr.. Green's answer, while not direct,
led to the blief that he had been ap-
preached on this subject. 1t is under
stood that the st. Louis Traction COM
panv. Incorporated with a nominal
capital and organized for the purpose of
conducting the business of transport
ing passengers by means of the various
modes of street railroad traffic, is ulti-
mately intended to be the sponge which
will absorb the lines necessary to big
co operative system of roads here.

GATHERING BY HUNDREDS.
People Going in Droves to the San
Juan Gold Fields.

DURANGO, COL, Jan. IA miner
named Hite arrived this morning from
the San Juan gold mines, and brings
the first information from there. He
says that the miners are spending most
of their time guarding their claims to
prevent them being jumped. No trouble
has arisen get, but there will probably
be some before long. According to
Hite's story the best claims, so far as
known, belong to the cable COM
pany, but by sinking twenty feet
rock is encountered, and at almost any
point it will pan out enough to keep a
man interested, but no large nuggets
have yet been found. About seven
thousand people are scattered through
out the fields, there Icing no towns or
organized government. The Ute and
Navajo Indians look with disfavor on
the encroachment of the prospectors Oh
their grounds, but are not numerous
enough to cause trouble. 1t is estimated
that 500 persons day are arriving at
the fields

A CAT WITH FALSE TEETH.
A Blessing That Came in Disguise to an
Unfortunate Feline.

A Blessing That Came in Disguise to an
Unfortunate Feline.
The cat that owned tho false teeth
had lost his own, and had his saw brok-
en- besides by drunken wretch who
beat him with cobble-atone. With
great care, the poor animal finally re-
covered; but he had to be fed with a
little milk in spoon for long time
When bile to pursue his ordinary busi-
ness of catching rats and mice, he
could not eat them because he had no
teeth to chew with. Something must
be done for him, for life supported on
"spoon vittles" was burden; and a
young dentist in the neighborhood,
who had become greatly interested in
the unfortunate cat, resolved to try
the experiment of making him a set of
false teeth.
Taking the cast for the plate was q
terrible piece of work, as Captain OBJ
jected to it with all his might. but it
was nothing to what followed when
the teeth were fairly in. If the animal
had plunged and scratched while the
plate was being fitted. he acted like
mad thing when it was firmly attached
to his jaw--although it was we'll made
and fitted perfectly. He could not un-
derstand that it would enable him to
continue the luxurious feasts to which
he had been accustomed; and for sew
eral days he was furious over it. Every
possible and impossible scheme was
tried to get the uncomfortab BILE thing
out of his mouth; he tore at it with his
claws, he shook his head violently to
make it drop out, he butted against
heavy pieces of furniture, and if any
one came near him, he growled and
scratched at them.
There seemed to be danger of his 60
ing mad, and his friends were sorely
puzzled to know what to do with him,
when, greatly to their relief, he calned
down, and appeared to have come to
the conclusion that his new possession
was, after all, blessing in disguise.
He was once more gentle and affection
ate, as he had been previous to his MIS-
fortune; and the plate was now often
taken out between meals and put baok
again. In this way it was worn COM
fortablv for over a year.-Harpers
