INTERESTING RELIC.
Recent Addition to the Veteran Ffremen's
Collection-Model of the Old Gun House.

Last week the Veteran Firemen received
an interesting addition to their rapidly
growing collection of relics of Old Portland
1t was a model of the old gun house." so
called, that stood near the Observatory be-
fore the war, and was used in 1872 to keep
cannon in when it was feared that it might
be necessary to defend the city. This gun
house has long since disappeared, but the
present model is an excellent fac-simile of
it, and is about foot in height. 1t was
made by the, late Jimmy Mitchell, as he
was known. an ex-fireman, who was injured
in the service, and for many years was
aided by his fellow firemcn. During his en-
forced id1eness he patiently and sklfuliy
carved this model of the old gun house, SO
true to the original that many of the Veter-
an Firemen Immediately recognized it. 1t
was presented to the association last week
by his widow.
Many an old Portlander will remember the
gun house for its connection with the
famous ''King riot A negro named King
lived on Monjoy hill with white woman.
In those days there was stronger prejudice
against negroes than now. On one occasion
when there was large feet of fishermen. in
the harbor, even larger than the great fleet
of coasters there last week, a company of
these fishermen ledsby local rough, went
to the gun house in the dead of night. They
took ont one of the cannon, loaded it and
aiming directly at the trent of Kings cabin,
applied the match. The shot crashed
through the ball of the house. and through
the foot board of the bed. but the negro and
white woman within miraoulously escaped
injury. Such is the story. Some even say
that the ball passed directly between the
man and woman without harming either.

CHINA I'M DANGER.
Interesting News Advanced by Mission.
airy.

San francisco October 27.-The Rev.G.
Voegnng, a missionary of the German
hVangeilcai church, in China for hve
years has arrived here. 81 saw the Chi
nese troops under General Tso at SWa-
TOW ana Langtung,n he said, land they
were very ragged. Most of them were
opium eaters. Each carried, besides an
Ola gun or DOW, pole, in one end OF
Whlch was paper lantern, and on the
other the provisions he had foraged, for
each soldier must provide himself with
supplies or go without. Each man also
carried an oiled paper umbrella. They
were sorry lot. I also saw Chinese
troops at other places equally as badly
equipped. The armies of Japan are now
pressing towards Moukden, place i'm
portant by reason of the millions of
treasures there, and because it is the
burial place of dynasties. The moment
the Japanese take that city the Chinese,
always superstitious, will give up and
say all Is lost. They will see their tombs
are only as other to1nbs, and the empire
Will go to pieces. The Chinese have sent
for &c, 600 Mongol horsemen to try to
stem the tide of Japanese.E The Mongol-
lans were once very bold fighters, and are
pretty good yet, but nothing like of
old.
@China has no roads. There are only
two highways In the whole empire. One
leads from Moukden to Pekin. Over it
the Emperor travels in going to the sa-
cred bs. The other runs from Pakin
to Chefoo. Both are likely to be oc-
cupled BY the Japanese. The Chinese
fleet is bled too, so what can they
do? The Japanese ambassador said
when he was asked to leave Pekin,
We'll, no matter, will be back in Novem-
per. ana SO he VIII, say, or very
close to it.
No rain falls in Pekin till the end of
December, and the japanese therefore
have plenty OF time. When the Japan
see enter Pekin it will mean that they
will enter the palaces of the emperor and
princes. The emperor has 100 wives and
5000 concu bines. All these have ever
been sacred in the minds of the Chinese.
when Pekin was attacked by the
French, the invaders did not get as far as
the palaces. The Chinese said. therefore
that they were sacred and could not he
destroyed. When they are destroyed it will
dlspell the illusion, sand China will go
Q pieces. Nearly all foreign consuls agree
to this. They are all disgusted.
Japan will have Formosa in the
spring. She doesn't want Corea. 1t is
nonsense to say China has any generals.
She HASN'T any. They have been
trained only in the use of the bow and
the sword, and they know nothing of
Chinese officials, and speak the Chinese
language. J am certain from what I
have seen that botn Moukden and Pc
kin will soon fall.

DonAN SIGNED BY BOSTON.
Saturday. the Boston base ball club
signed P. H. Dolan. Portlands favorite
pitcher. during the past season. Jack Ryan,
who caught Dolan in the New Bedford-Fall
River games. said he had the lest drop ball
that he had ever caught. He was born in
Cambridge, December "a, 1872. He is not
yet quite 20 years old. He weighs 165 pounds
and is five feet, nine inches in height. His
rapid progress to the front as a base ball
pitcher has been very remarkable.
His first ball playing was with the WE'LL
known Cambridge Reds, for which he played
third base and occasionally pitched game.
Being left-handed and having long reach,
he soon bee anne talked about as a conner,
and was engaged by the Fall River club
last spring.
From Fall River he came to Portland, and
is therefore a youngster in experience as
well as years, compared with the veterans
with whom he is deemed worthy to play on
Z the Boston team.
For the Portlands he pitched thirty-five
games. or nearly ar average of three games
week. Of these he won twenty and lost
fifteen, improving as the season went along,

began several weeks ago. and has
