North Loses Several Sails.
The schooner John G.. North arrived
in port yesterday, after a tedious trip
Of thirty-seven days from Port Town
send. Soon after leaving Port Town
send the vessel met with an exceedingly
heavy fog. which caused her to lay off
Cape Flattery for twenty-four hours
without making the slightest Roadway.
Westerly winds were then experienced,
and the vessel went down along the
of California as far as San Diego,
southerly winds were had, which
brought the schooner on the second
leg OF her immense tack to this port.
Comparatively good weather was expe-
rienced during the entire trip, with the
exception of two days. during which
the vessel had to hattie with a heavy
gale. The squall came
suddenly and with such force that
within fifteen minutes two mainsails
and the jib had been carried away be-
fore the sails could be shortened.
The North brings a cargo of about
600 feet of lumber. of which quite a
amount is carried on deck. Dur
ing the squall the deckload was forced
quite q little to one side, SO that it
was leaning against the starboard rig
ying when the vessel arrived at this
port. The job G.. North is at present
ying just mauka of the Oceanic Com
pany's shed. and Will discharge her
largo at hat place. The lumber is
consigned to Levers & Cooke.

Rough on the Rats.

The campaign against rats on the
waterfront is still being carried on
with unrelaxing energy. The work on
the Oceanic dock was finished yester-
day. The wharf has been fitted with
tight boarding which goes down on the
sides far below the surface of the wa
ter, and the flooring of the wharf has
been entirely refitted. The makai end
of the wharf has been completely re-
built. and new flooring has been put
in, While along the whole length of the
wharf tarred paper appears underneath
upper planking while, under the paper.
four-inch ~planking has been put. The
whole wharf has been thoroughly
caulked, and it is hoped that it is now
sufficiently tight to prevent the sui
phur fumes from escaping after they
have been pumped under the wharf.
The barge which has been placed at
the disposal of the quarantine authori-
ties, has been fitted out with fumigat-
ing apparatus. and during yesterday
workmen were busy building a shed
over the machinery. This morning the
scow will start to-work by filling a
under the Oceanic wharf with deadly
sulphur fumes, which will make all
the inhabitants of the rat tuibe sorry
that they fixed their abode on that
particular place.

LEICESTER

james j. DAILY, a prominent bust

were married in ST. Joseph's Church
Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock by
Rev. John F. Redican, pastor of tie
church. The church was prettily dec
GRATED for the occasion with cut flowers
and ported plants, and the ceremony,
which was performed with a high mass,
was witnessed by many friends of the
bride and groom Mr.. DAILY conducts a
bread and pastry business in Cherry
Valley, and Miss Barrett has been en-
ployed in the A. s. Lowell millinery es-
tablishment of Worcester. The brides
maid was the sister of the bride, Miss
Margaret Barrett, and the best man
was James J. McDermott. The bride
was becomingly attired in a gown of
white silk, trimmed with point lace.
The bridal party was preceded to the
altar by flower girl, Miss Agnes G.
Ballard, a neice of the bride The ush-
ers were Timothy Cronin, Frank Hal
pin. Edward Kelly and William

A short time ago a horse was found
by Thomas Bombard at his home on
Apricot Street, and he took it into his
barn on the same street. He adver
tised in the papers for more than a
month but no owner came up to claim
the animal According to his state
ments, after advertising a certain
length of time. the animal belongs to
him. However, this is not true, and
the horse as soon as found should be
turned over to the poundkeepgr in the
city or town in which the finder lives.
There has been much discussion about
town over the horse, and the question
is frequently asked WAS Mr. Bonn
bard justified in keeping the animal?"
If the owner of the animal ever turns
up Mr.. Bombard will find himself in a
rather bad position.
