THE CHICKEN DEsTROYER.
1t is Dog That Is DepopuIatipg Poultry Yards
of the North End,


Last week the chicken coOps OF several
people, residing in the northern part of the
city was raided and they had great many
chickens killed by some animal Among
the losers was J. Ii. Ostermyer, residing at
$50 North Queen street Yesterday morning
when that gentleman went into his yard, he
found that his three remaining chickens had
been killed in the same manner as the
others. In the chicken coop Mr.. Ostermyer
found, crouching, large blood hound. The
animal belonged TO Charles Frank, a butcher,
Of $50 North Queen street, and ne was given
into his charge. The dog was no doubt the
cause of all the trouble among the poultry,
and he should be killed or not allowed to
run at large. Mr.. Ostermyer found the
collar of the dog on the fence. 1t is supposed
that he tried to get away, alter doing the
damage, but was caught by the collar, W hich
was pulled from his neck and lie crawled
into the chicken coop TO hide.
Mr.. FRANKIE has agreed 10 pay for all the
damage that the dog has done.

about by ill-ussge, as the boy had expressed
discrimination to put an end to his life. The
body was taken to the home OF his uncle, and

There are at this moment half dozen latora-
tories in different parts of the capital in which
such work is being { ne. Edmunds has one
behind his copper bay window within stones
throw of Blaine's big mansion. John SLer-
man has another in his brown stone front
looking out upon the flowers of Franklin
park, and away up on the hills above Wash
ington General Logan sits with his accom-
plished wife and looks down upon the big
White House which he hopes soon
to occupy. | think if you could penetrate the
sdnctun sanctorum of the president himself,
you would at certain hours of the night find
him and Dan Lamont with the map of the
United States before them, and volumes Of
political statistics at their elbows, laying out
the campaign of 1888. You would note the
Blue Book containing the salaries of the 100,-
600 ard more of officeholders, and you would
see them marking such places as would bene-
fit themselves and the Democratic party.
But Cleveland in his letter of acceptance
has stated that under no conditions will he
accept a second ternl His cabinet ministers
hope that the administration may be perpetu-
ated, ard doubt not in several of their souls
is already sown the seed of presidential ambi-
tion. Bayard, long a candidate, is too
filled with grief over his family
losses to make brave fight with
nothing but little Delaware behind him.
Villas has few of the elements of presidential
possibility Endicott is too much of Mug
