TWO FOR ONE.
But One Was Larger Than the Other
Two.

Story of Cat.
Yesterday morning the Allan liner the
Mongolian, arrived with cargo, of 2, 50f
tons snd with 10 steerage passengers each
of whom having $50 was allowed to land
but the question is how long will the S2(
asst them. After Inspector Fogg had
allowed the nineteen to go ashore the
work of disoharging cargo was began in
good earnest.
While the Mongolian was docking, the
great Scotsman, the pride of the
Dominion line, was slowly getting Ut
steam. She was forced al the last to sal
without full cargo, but she took out the
largest cargo ever taken from this port,
but as far as this country is concerned il
made precious little difference whether
there was very little American freight re,
oeived. At the last there was not freight
enough for her cargo, but the smaller
boats that came in yesterday will have
lbetter luck. Blessed are they that want
little.
When the great Scotsman sailed there
was large crowd present, and the state
ly steamship looked like the queen of the
fleets as she sailed out past the break
water and then by the forts and out Of
sight.
When they took off the matches of the
Mongolian most piteous object ap-
peared, the steamers cat. 1t was hardly
more than the frame of cat that crawled
out as it had been for fourteen DAYS
without food or water. Hot milk was
administered, and at last accounts puss
bid fair to come up again, but it must
have been fearful trip for the poor little
creature.

the arrival of the following fishermen
Robert and Carr, with 1S, 600 pounds OF
cod and paddock; Emma Jane, with 10,
900 pounds, and the Contest with II, 600

There was lively runaway while 1t
lasted on Commercial street yesterday
afternoon. ]. L. Gibbs, happened to
leave his fast and spirited horse I'M
secured, and with the lines down. A
jigger came olattering down the street,
the horse started, a man waved his arms
and shouted ''stop," proceeding greatly
tending to promote a peaceful frame of
mind on the part of the horse, and then a
half score of men shouted whoa and
made a mad rush for the sidewalk, and
up the street dached the horse. Then a
dog thought he ought to say something,
and he said it, and the horse apparently
thinking the-dog was in hot pursuit went
from the street to the sidewalk, and kept
it for two blocks, in the meantime codg-
ing SCORE of teams, turning one around,
but doing no further damage. At last
having had its run out the horse was in.

William j. Ryan ''sees' the State of
Maine when he wanders about to astonish
people by showing them what one blind
man can do. The big liner came into her
old port and Captain Gross was in COM
mand. She had with her eight hundred
tons of cargo, but there was no disposi-
tion on the part of the hustling represen-
tatives of Elder, Demster & Co., to wait
for her to discharge cargo, but they pro-
posed to take her directly to the elevator
and to at once begin to take on board
loose grains. There were some obstacles
in the way, but they were overcome, and
in thirty minutes afte + she docked she
was taking cargo, beating the record by
somehours. II that line doesn't get there

Captain Cross said that he had "about
the sort OF passage you might expect at
this time Of the year. There was suo-
cession of high seas, heavy gales and
rough weather generally.
