\ celebrated Irish farmer gives
this advice TO one young in the husi-
ness: GAS a breeder you must be
careful not to lose the calf flesh. II
you do so by starving the animal II
any time of his growth you lose tho
cream, tho covering OF flesh so much
priced by all retail butchers. Where
do all the scraggy, bad heshed beasts
come frem that We see in our market,
and what is the cause of their scrae-
giness E? 1t Is because they have
been stinted ands starved OF their
growth. II the calf flesh is once lost
it can never be regained. A great
deal OF tallew may be got internally
by high feeding, but the animal can
never again be made one that will he
prized by the retail butcher.

FROM WASHINGTON.
IMPAsELING THE JURY.
Dorsey Must Come TO Trial-The Court
Stands by Its Ruling.
WASHINGTON, Dec II.

WAsHINGTcE, Dec y.
In the star route trial this morning the
question as to whether the counsel had the
right to interrogate persons called as jurors.
Judge Wyiie decided that if the counsel de-
sired To exercise the right they must first
challenge the Juror for cause and state the
grounds of challenge.
A two hours argument ensued, in the
course of which Col. IngersOll admitted that
he did not pretend To know ANYTHING as to
the Law in force in the District of Columbia,
nor did anybody else.
Judge WyIie adhered practically to his
ruling on Monday.
At length the defence was forced into a
challenge of Juror Barrett for cause.
Judge Wyiie thought the cause of the OBJ
lection to the juror sufficient. Barrett
was discharged.
The next person called as juror was
Thos. Walsh His replies to the same class
of questions were practically the same as
Barretts.
Isaac Eicher was next called The de-
fence made no objection to him and called
on the court to require of the counsel for
prosecution either 10 challenge or accept
him.
The court declined to do so and Eicher
kept his seat in the jury box.
After some delay the panel was com
pleted so far as challenges by the defence
was concerned, the right of challenge in
part of the prosecution not being exercised
First juror. Isaac Eicher, was then chal
lenged for cause'on the part of the prOseeu
ton. The chalens was sustained.
As to the second juror, John II. Crane
who sought exemption on account of the
necessities of his business, Judge Wylie de
cided that he must serve, and he was there
upon sworn as first juror.

RAILROAD RUMORS.
The Great Railroad War Drawing to a
Cfose-ResOlutions Adopted.

New YORK, Dec ~.
Many conflicting statements were made in
the lobby of the Windsor Hotel. New York,
Tuesday morning. by Messrs. Mibank and
Mitchell. 1t is asserted that peace will reign
from today, and it is more than likely the
war will terminate at the meeting. President
Porter is not so sanguine, and other railroad
men are very reticent. Certain it is. how
ever, that crisis is nearer than was expect.
ed, and it looks this morning as if what Pres
ident Riddle said yesterday, will transpire,
that an understanding will be arrived at be-
fore the committee adjourns. President
Porter has no faith in the Vanderbilt pur
chase" story, and says if it were so he would
know it. The sub committee went into ses-
sion at 10 80 A. NJ. President Riddle of the
Rock Island road, has been added to the com
mittee. President Porter says the terms
of settlement will be that the st. Paul will
be kept out of the Omaha Territory.
The railroad presidents and managers met
this afternoon. The subcommittee in re-
port. recommended that there be no 'more
railroads built in the Northwest. and that
the St. Paul railroad leave Omaha Territory.
Both of these recommendations, it is reported
were accepted. This settles the territorial
question. The committee adjourned till to-
morrow, when the questions of rates and
division of business will be considered.

HOUSE..

The post office, military academy, and ag-
ricultural appropriation bills were reported
and referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr.. Henderson of Illinois. chairman of
the committee on military affairs. reported
back the resolution calling on the secretary
of war for information as to what action was
taken under the act of August eth, 1882, to
relieve certain soldiers from the charge of
desertion. Adopted.
Mr.. Randall of Penn, offered resolution
requesting the President to transmit to the
House a statement showing the aggregate
amount expended in improvement of rivers
and harbors from the beginning of the gov
eminent to the present time; the amount
annually expended and the aggregate an
nually expended in Improvement of each river
and harbor, accompanied by references to
the laws authorizing each of such expend-
lures, and also a statement showing what
benefit to commerce, if any, resulted from
each of said expenditures. and stating
the navigable capacity of each of said
rivers and harbors before and after improve
ment and also to inform the House whether
any moneys have been appropriated or ex-
pended in the improvement of rivers or har
bors not navigable within legal definition of
the word "navigable," as defined by the
United States Supreme Court; and also to
state whether any moneys have been appro
priated and expended for the improvement of
any river or barbor not within the United
States. Referred.
The House then proceeded to the cOnsid-
Grafton of the congressional library bill. Mr..
Rice Of Massachusetts. explained the bill
The amendments were agreed to provid
ing that the cost Of the building shall not
exceed two millions, and that As far as pos
sible IL shall be constructed in separate parts

themselves to identified from date anterior
thereto.
Much space is given to a review Of the
workings of the new system of special exzmi-
nations, and it is asserted that its superiority
over the old or exparte system has been
abundantly demonstrated. The Commissioners
suggests the enactment of a clause which
will make the false personation of a Pension
Examiner a felony, to be punished BY fine
and imprisonment upon conviction; ard also
the enactment of a clause which will make it
high misdemeanor for any person to
interfere with Special Examiner in the dis
charge of his duties by violence, threat. or
otherwise, the same to be punishable by fine
or imprisonment upon conviction. Speaking
of the pension population. the Commissioners
expresses regret that no provision was made
in the tenth census for its enumeration.
After confessing his inability to procure
accurate data on the subject, he says that the
best approximation that can be made shows
that of the 2O63, 39l soldiers who enlisted
during the war pensions have been applied
for, by, or on account of only 26 per cent.
The report concludes with the statement that
from the best available Information it appears
that there is a surviving soldier population OF
little more than 1000, 600, out of which
claims for pension in the future may be made
by those who incurred pensiOnable disability.

The Civil Servlce Bill.

The democrats of the Senate were Monday
brought face to face with the civil service
question, and they shrank from it. 1t can
not be said that they solidly voted against it,
but it is a fact that every vote that was cast
against the proposition came from a demo-
cratic senator. Even at last extremity the
attempt was made to put the bill aside by
bringing up the Fitz John Porter case. 1t
may be well for the country to note that after
all the new born zeal manifested by Mr.. Beck
in the cause of civilservice, speaking, he
claimed, for the democratic party, there were
sixteen votes cast against even considering
the subject of civil service reform These
sixteen votes were all democratic, and the
second name in the list was that of Beck
himself

The Times Topeka special says the fol-
lowing account of bank robbery at kingstry,

cashier of the bank, locked the safe and
vault and went to his supper. G. W. Craw-
ford, county treasury. has an office in the
rear of the room occupied by the bank and
he left the building with the cashier. They
returned together about an hour later, and
it was then discovered that some one had
been in the room. A number of coins were
scattered about the floor. The cashier I'M
locked the vault and safe and then discovered
that SI2, 900 had been stolen. The burglars
evidently entered the building from the rear
and passed through the treasurer's room into
the bank room. panel of the door between
the rooms having been broken. Treasurer
Craw ford was acquainted with the comblna-
ton to the vault, being in the habit of keep
ing his books there, but no one else knew it
except the cashier. There were no indica-
ton. that powder had been used, hence the
door must have been unlocked. The entire
affair has mysterious appearance.
LARNED, Dec II.
Intelligence has been received here that
the robbery of Kingstry bank has been traced
to the county treasurer, G. W. Crawford, by
means of a bunch of keys and glove drop
ped on the floor of the vault, and that Craw
ford has acknow lodged himself guilty and
agreed to surrender the stolen money. which
he hid away somewhere outside of Kingstry,
and this rumor is supplemented by many
others. 1t is accepted as conclusive, how
ever. that Crawford is in some way implicated
| in the robbery. He is kept under guard at
his residence at Kingstry.
