' FIVE HOUSES CATCH FIRE.
So Great Hmag The Value of the
, Chemical Engine.
The lccal fire companies were
called out yesterday afternoon
about 5 o'clock by a tire, or,
rather, several fires, on Eighth
street, between Davidson and Al
exander strests. Three houses
were on fire and two more
caught, -but owing to the quick
work of the firemen in handling
the chemical engine and the
large hose all the fires were
soon extinguished. Three of
the houses suffered very 'little
from the flames, while the other
two were almost ruined, the
roofs being burnt off. It is
understood that all th houses
were insured.
Four of the houses belonged
to Mr. W. J. He.nnon and the
other one William Robertson, a
colored man. All were occupied.
The fire originated in the kitchen
of the house occupied by
Alexander McLean which was
almost wholly destrojed. The
value of the chemical engine
wS again shown last evening.
It extinguished the fire of the
houses which caught last night
-before they got started good in
their work of destruction.

Massaolimetts Taxes Cats.
Massachusetts has sprung an
other innovation by passing a
law imposing a license tax of 50
cents on -cats. It has been an
almost universal custom in this
country to.taxdogs, but for some
reason the cat has not been made
a source of revenue. And yet
there is no special reason why
it should not be. As a disturber
of the peace the cat is certainly
the equal of the dog, aud it
causes quite as much trouble to
tho humane by gutting into
trouble rnd cajling for help.
The Massachusetts system is
liable to become popular. India

Inoculation to Destroy Rats.
Lisbon has been suffering
from a pest of rats, for which
the general antidote of cats,
traps and poison proved
abortive. As a last resource
bacilli wero employed, and tho
municipal, doctors- wero com-
missioned to inoculate some rats
witn an infectious disease. A
suitable virus harmless to mm,
was fouiid, a few rats captured
and inoculted, and then released.
I Tho cxperi-nent.proved a great
; successor the. bacillus .rapidly

freed from the rodents. It Is
