Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals and Children.

A feeling has become manifest
in this city that strong measures
should be taken to prevent cruelty
to animals and children, and last
week a call was issued for a public
meeting to take place at the Opera
House, to make arrangements for or
ganizing a society for that purpose.
Cruelty to animals and immoral
ity are two evils that exist in AL
pena, and have grown to such pro-
portions that it has become neces-
sary to take action for bringing
about better condition. Many
cases of horses being numerically
used, and of dogs maltreated, have
been seen by the people, and it
seems to many that a stop should
be put to heartless teamsters COM
polling their horses to draw loads
beyond the strength Of the animals.
immortality has become too fire.
quent, and the belief is entertained
BY those who are back of this move-
ment to suppress such evils, that
measures must be taken to prevent
young girls from being ruined.
Rev. II. II. VanAuken first OPEN
ed his batteries on the greas evils,
in one of his characteristic sermons,
on Sunday, April LIST. He said that
certain demons, who had deps down
town, were in the habit of inducing
young girls between the ages of Ia
and Is years, into their rooms, and
starting such children on the road
to ruin. The reverend gentleman

Voges Disaster.

The schooner Voges, of this city,
was the second vessel to clear from
here with lumber the present sea-
son, and was run into by a propel-
Ter when near Detroit, last We'd
nesday, on her return trip. The De-
troit Free Press has the following
regarding the disaster: "The grain
laden steamer Majestic arrived here
yesterday with the forward rigging
of a schooner fast to her upper
works. About 4:30 o'clock, when
between the Canadian club house
and the range on Harsen's Island,
she collided with the Voges, and the
bowsprit and jibboom of the latter
broke through the forward cabin Of
the steamer and passed through her
upper deck. The Majestic brought
the jibboom, bowsprit, two jibs, the
anchor and cat head to Detroit.
Captain Lawless, of the Majestic,
met Canadian tug going up just
after the collision and sent her to
the relief of the Voges. Captain
Lawless said that when he saw the
schooner he desired to pass on her
starboard and gave one whistle, but
in a moment her red light was shut
off and he gave two whistles, when
the schooner swung around directly
in his way and ran right into the
bow of the steamer. The Voges
was taken to Port hampton, Ont,
from where she was towed in the
afternoon to Port Huron for re-
pairs. Hugh McCaffery, brother of
the captain, was struck by some of
the rigging and killed.

Narrow Escape Of the Steamer Mich.
igan.

About five o'clock last Wednes-
day morning the steamer State of
Michigan, having run a short dis
lance out of her course, ran aground
on Gull Island, which is just north
Of Thunder Bay Island. She was
soon visited by the life saving crew,
and then the advantage of having
telephone communication between
the life saving station and this port
was manifest, as news of the strand
ing was soon sent here, and call
for assistance, when the tugs Frank
w and Ralph, of the Gilchrist &
Fletcher wrecking line, were sent
to the assistance of the steamer, and
after a little pulling succeeded in
getting her afoat. without the
steamer being injured. She was
fortunate in getting assistance be-
fore the wind caused sea, in which
case she might have become a total
loss. The government did wise
act in laying a telephone line to the
Thunder Bay Island life saving sta
ton, and it has already proved Of
great benefit to lake shipping.

The seven years old girl of
Chas. Jones, at Prescott, was run
over by the cars last Friday, and
her leg cut off. It appears that
Mr.. Jones lives near the crossing of
the D., B. G. & A. road, and the
little girl has been in the habit of
running out when the train was ap-
preaching, and standing upon the
track until the locomotive would
get pretty close, and then jumping
off. But last Friday, as she was
engaged in her dangerous frolic,
when she attempted to leave the
track her foot caught between the
rail and plank, and being unable
to release herself, she was run down
by the locomotive. When the en-
gineer saw the danger, he made
every effort to bring his train to a
stop, but all to no purpose. No
fault is attached to the engineer or
the company.
