authority for the following statement, that
Frank Moulton only laid before the commit
tee the letters Of Tilton and BCechcr called

MouIton intended to hand over all the letters
in his possession, but upon combinations,
held ut bis house on Sunday and Monday,
between himself, his father, Ben Butler, and
b. +. Tracy, it was decided that the best
course to pursue was to stick to the letter OIL
the request. which was to furnish those
documents which bore upon the case is pre-
scented in TiIton's statement. This was
done.
1t is not denied by 4 party who was pre-
sent at the consultations that there are other
letters, but the exact nature of their con-
tents will not be divulged by Frank Moul-
ton unless he is compelled to 10 so by high
court of law. Whether they involve the
crimnality of Beeeher or not, or whether
they justify the charges made by Iilton'
could not be ascertained.

While watching the performance his aiten'
ton was called TO Il sheep dog lying down
close ly. This animal, on the pen Dccotn-
iny nearly empty. without word from any
one started off 10 the main body OF the Hook
ard brought back ten Of their number ana
drove them into the empty washing pen.
The fact of the dog bringing exactly the
same number Of sheep as had vacated II he
looked upon at first rs u strange coincidence
A mere chance. But he continued looking
on. and, much to his surprise, rs soon rs tue
men had reduced the number 10 three sheep
the dog started oil again and brought back
ten more: and 50 he continued throughout
the AFTERNOON, never bringing one more nor
one less, and always golDg for fresh iot

How GRAsSHorrERs Being RAILWAY TRAINS

big is thousand other things we can name.
but then the insect has rs much dcvilmcnt
same space in anything that ever lived or
brcathed. Stories have been published OF
how they completely blOckaded railroads out

FIJI production, existing only in the imagina-
ton OF the reporter. And still these stories
were not imaginary.
On Wednesday train No. :, Of the s.. JC.

insects covered the track two inches thick,
ard the engineer was completely ut his wis
and TO know what 10 do. He understood Il
Scaped track. but track covered with grass.
hoppctS was novelty. He put on all the
steam he could and tried 10 drive ahead, and
yet be was actually niue hours making eleven
miles. How many @ras>hopperS were killed
no one will ever undertake to sag.
Yesterday morning Conductor Scott Sharp
pulled ont OF Seneca on time, and thought
be would have al easy run 10 st. Joseph. IN
this he was slightly mistaken. Two miles
out The track WAS completely blockadrd by
gra>shoppcrS, and the engineer found it inl-
possible to proceed. He hated TO bc beat Out
by such trtling insects, but finally had tc
run back to Seneca and wait unit the insects
bad crossed the track on their way south
