Lincoln street nobly maintained its
reputation, on Wednesday night, for be
ing one Of the most quiet sections Of
the city Tuesday night, in the small
hours of the night. when the bright
moonlight usually calls dogs forth to
frolic if they are at liberty. a strange
dog, whose home is said to be on
Winthrop street, appeared at the head
of Lincoln street and let forth a series
of howls that startled sleepers from
their SAUNDERS and also called forth
several responses from dogs whose
owners for one reason or another had
neglected to cOnfine them for the night.
This was all the invitation the stranger
needed before commencing his pro
gram of rushing from one emil of the
street to the other and then back
again, all the time doing his best at
Darlxing-thc neighhUrEood dogs were
not slow in coming in on the chorus.
This babel of a concert lasted about
two hours. or until the foreigner
seemed to have had enough Of the fun
for one night. and disappeared with 4
lew extra loud bowls. Wednesday
night, about the same time Of night
ne again pun III all appeal siI4tt at ll!t
head of the street ana challenged the
well bred dogs Of that vicinity to
another concert, but he had evidently
counted without his host, for not one
of these well bred dogs responded, their
owners being people who believe in
subjecting their dogs to rules that win
nov allow them to become a nuisance
to their ncighbors and taking warning
from the night before, had shut them
up. That tramp dogs countcnance
must have had a surprised look upon
it, as he would let out 4 few loud harks
and then listen a moment for a reply.
None came and yet he persisted until
some one in the vicinity made Il racket
and frightened him away. 1t is TO b.
hoped his owner will house him nights,
for 4 man who the same night came In
on a late train. saw him bowling in the
yard of house where there was
sick person.

THE GRANITE STRIKE.
Indications That an An,icabie Settle
,rent Will Be Reached, Today.

The Journal was able to ascertain on
good authority. last evening. that the
pending difficulties between the granite
companies and the Quarrymen's Union
would reach certain settlement, this
morning. None of the quarrymen were
at work at the Tayntor quarries, Thurs
day. although there was no interruption
from the regular work at the quarries
of the Hallowell Granite Works.
The fact that the union was consti-
tuted by the working force of botf
quarries, and that a strike ensued al
one quarry for two days while work
was continued in the other, presents
an unaccountable condition of affairs
The agreement had not been signed
by the employers, last evening, but tht
Journal is informed that settlement
will be effected, this morning. and tina
the men will go to work as usual.
