How a Faithful Dog Was Burned tad Death By Refusing to leave tls Friend and Com panion, a Horse, Cincinnati, 0., June 3,—No more faith* ful and affectionate animal lives than the dog. A story comes from Hrbettville; 6.; which once more fully rind forcibly illus trates this fact, The barn of Mr. George BuriUg, near Greenville, caught on fire yesterday and burned to the ground. In the barn, hitched to his manger by a hal ter, was a horse. In all its drives, and even in its stall, was a mongrel cur which had been called Jack. The flame* spread so rapidly that it WaS impossible to get the horse and other contents out of the burning barn. Jack was lying alongside his friend, the horse, and refused to leave, but remained beside the perishing animal, barking fran tically for assistance, until the d vouring flames stilled his faithful voice, and poor Jack died a martyr to his devotion. The horse was haltered and could not escape, but the doors of the building having been burst open, every effort was made to call and perßiiade the dog to flee from its peril, Jack, however, would only run back and forward from the neighing horse, pitifully whiDing and barking as if entreating aid for its endangered friend. As the lurid flames illuminated the sur roundings and the roof of the burning structure fell in the affectionate dog was seen sitting on the prostrate form of the smoke - strangled horse and howling with grief. Refusing to be separated from its dead companion, it heroically died, sacrificing itself upon the funeral pyre of its loved friend, an example of unflinching devotion that would exalt hu man nature and beautify mankind. Mr. Buring, in speaking of his losses, men tions the dog first in the category, and the aDimal certainly ranks most promi nent. Liquor War in lowa.

The fire-bell was rung calling for help In tho flooded region, and soon nearly the whole town was aroused Water cut off eofftmunicatidri between the prirts of the town separated by the flood.

THE CHURCH Will Soon be Heard on the Labor Question. A Connell to Be Held Tills Summer to I’rotmilgate It—What Will He Expected of Catholic Workingmen. New York, June 6.—The Commercial Ad vertiser says: Cardinal Gibbons refuses to say any thing of his intended action on the labor question. Before giving his views to the public, he will call a council of tho eleven Archbishops of the American hierarchy, and the decisive steps will be taken which will leave no doubt of the church’s attitude. From a closo companion of the Cardinal, a Commercial Advertiser re porter received some intimation regarding the probable character of the forthcoming pronunciamento. The right of laboring men to combine for their common benefit will be conceded, and all such lawful combinations will receive the blessings of the church. But Cath olics will be forbidden to take part in boycotts or other infringements of the rights of citizens, and will be forbidden to Join any organization which practices in timidation, whether of a violent or other character. No Catholic will bo permitted to become a member of any order which binds its members to secrecy or blind obedience to the dictates of leaders. Se cret passwords may be permitted, but a Catholic must have no secret which can not be reached by the confessional if nec essary. It twill also be proposed that a closer relation be brought about between Catholic of labor organizations and tho Catholic clergy. The object of this is to prevent -Catholic laboring men from drifting off from the church on account of their association with Protestants, and to keep them from adopt ing theories which are antagonistic to tho church’s dogmas. The necessity of this course has been demonstrated clearly of late by the number of Catholics who have, innocently perhaps, taken up ideas which the church frowns upon, and will probably condemn outright in the near future. It will not be proposed, however, to make the clergy meddlers in labor affairs. They will be merely in structed to be vigilant, invite, confidence and counsel members of their flock who belong to Trades Unions. From the source mentioned above it was also learned that Cardinal Gibbons’ position in the McGlynn case is simply this : He likes Dr. McGlynn personally and does not condemn him for advocating general property in land, for tnat doctrine has not yet been pronounced heretical by the Pope speaking ex-cathedra, but, he does blame Dr. McGlynn for rebel- Y*"* "urainst hi.s siioorjor uiul dabbling rn politics to an extent, unbecom ing his"priestly character. It is probable that the council of Archbishops will be held in Baltimore early in the summer. It seems that at present a large majority of the pre lates are inclined to look with favor on labor organization now existing, but a few are Among those is the TCnerable Arc^mshop ’'Fen wick, of St. Louis, the oldest prelate in the hierarchy. He has pronounced the Knights of Labor an unlawful body, and has denounced their methods as barbarous, since most of the Bishops do not hold Fenwick’s views, it is almost certain the council will adopt the mild measures mentioned above. Eafckquake Shatters the Mountains. • Quebec, June 6. —News has been re wived of an earthquake which recently wcurred in the vicinity of St. Louise, in me County L’ls let, F. Q.

The public mind was rudely awakened to-day, however, to the realizalion that though such crimes may have been curtailed in number, they are still committed, and with very lit tle pretense of secrecy. A general sensa tion of horror was produced in the Lam beth Police Court this morning by the trial of the case of Edward Procknell and three women, charged with keeping disorderly houses gnd with procuring scores of young girls ranging in age from ten to fourteen years. Tho prisoners and their victims are all of humble rank, and the evidence thus far taken proves that the re lucers of the children were also of the lower class. The prisoners woro remanded for further hearing, and will be vigorously prosecuted by the Government. Detective Stevens, who is in tho employ of the Reformatory and Refuge Union, was the chief means of discovering tho crimes of Procknell and the women. He stated in the course of his testimony that during the last four years he had rescued four hundred girls of from four and a half to fourteen years of age. -♦ ■ Train Load of California Potatoes.
