Hearing from the old bibles in the
possession of J. Matthew Gropp and
William Candy reminds us to say that the
old Latin Bible in the State library at
Dover, whose venerable covers are kissed
by each successive governor of Delaware
as he takes the prescribed oath of office,
was printed in 1882, by Robert Stephens,
Paris, and is, as the thousands who have
examined it can bear witness, in excellent
preservation. We reproduce the follow
ing from description of this Bible pub
lished in EVERY EVENING five years ago :
The frontispiece is quaint picture of a
singular looking tree from which branches,
evidently seions which have been grated
on, are dropping, while other scions appear
to have united with the original limbs and
are growing vigorously. Underneath stands
venerable looking individual, dressed in
a flowing robe and pointing upwards, while
from his mouth proceeds the words, "Noli
alum sapere," which take TO
mean substantially, Don't try to be too
WISE" At the close of the book the same
picture appears with the words ''sed time
(but fear thou) added The chapters are
not divided into verses, the old long is
used, and V and U are used as The
same letter, with the distinction that
v is used only as an initial: For in,

for "creavit," '.vnum" for 'unum.

The Maryland legislature has before it
a proposition to enact general law
authorizing county commissioners to reg
ulate in their own way all matters per-
tanning to dogs, hawks, owls and fences
in their respective counties. OF this
proposition the Cambridge Chronicle says:
A measure of this sort would emphasize a
truly Democratic principle, that of local
self-government. Under such a law il
would be the fault of the people ii they did
not get such regulations for each county as
the majority desired. The present plan of
legislattng upon petitions that are promis-
cuously signed (oftenttmes, it Is alleged, by
men in their grayes,) would lie done away
with, and better ana more direct means
OF ascertaining the wishes of the peopl.
upon any subject Of public Importance
could be adopted. Give us local self-goy
eminent so lar as the law will allow. The
local laws are published in the newspaper,
OF the counties in which they are operative
Under the proposed system no more woulf
be required. Let us have home legisla
ture, where every man can represent him
self and express his views In person, ii
which we can make our own dog laws,
say whether or not we shall pay u bount,
for killing hawks and owls, say whether
there shall be stock law or not, regulate tn,

The Ice in tne sm.oueI,ann..

PoRT DEPosIT, Mp, Jan. 29.-Despite
the rain and mild weather of the past few
days, the ice in the Susquehanna does not
appear to be materially affected to night.
A channel is doubtless being gradually
worn away underneath by the muddy
water. Should this weather continue for
a few days longer, the danger of a
destructive ice.gorge will be materially
mitigated. Reports from up the river to-
night indicate very slight rise in the

We are indebted to the New York Star
o Tuesday for an article, which We
print elsewhere, showing the standpoint
from which the employees of the Pennsyl-
wanna Railroad Company look ct the pro.
visions of the company's projected relief
fund. Any one who is brought into
contact with the railroad employees here,
both those in the shops and those on the
road, cannot avoid the conviction
that there are two sides to this subject
and that the Star article only imperfectly
photographs the aversion with which the
employees regard the relief fund scheme.
kilograms through usual press
channels do not fully bear out the
Stare information regarding the
extent and determined character
of this opposition on the part
of the workmep TO the demand of
the railroad company, but it is simply
incredible that the applications for mem
bership which have aroused SO much
feeling here and in New York, and which
were returned with such energetic
promptitude by Wilmington recipients
should have begin welcomed with the
ayidity reported by their fellow-workmen
in Pittsburg and other places. One
thing stands out quite clearly-that there
is at the present moment danger of q
serious and general conflict between the
employees and the railroad management
and it is not the part of the true
nevs-gatherer to shut his eyes to the
situation and its possible consequences,
affecting, as such consequences must,

over the main stem and numerous
branch lines of so great corporation

GALVESTON, Tex, Jan. 80. A special
to the Ne,os from Dallas dated yesterday
says: great dead OF excitement was
created huro to-day by the developments
touching the killing Of Jesse Bonner and
other negroes lust evening by Deputy
Sheriff Seeley Of Freestone county and
Detective Duncan of this city, who sur
rendered themselves last night. A visit
to the scene of the shooting shows that
BonnPr's 5-years-old child was shot
through the forehead and the negro
Robert johnson in the knee.
The evidence Mt the inquest thus far
tends to show that the shooting was en-
tirely unproyoked. Bonner WAS sitting
in his cabin with his child on his knee,
when the officers burst in and began
shooting. The negroes had no weapons
Witnesses testify that there were three
men in the party. One stood outside and
shot johnson as he ran away. The belief
is growing that the killing was cold
blooded murder. The colored populn.
ton are greatly ngitatod.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Ehe Democratic
senators met in caucus to-day at IL
O'Clock and adjourned at las. They dis
cussed the pending issue between the
executive and the Senate fully and unani-
mously adopted the following resolution,
which the secretary of the caucus was
authorized to make public
Resolyed, That we approve the views and
action OF the President communicated to
the Senate through Acknowledgement Gar
land in his letter of January goth, 1886, and
that we cordially support the executive
therein.
The letter of the Attorney General was
received by the president of the Senate
yesterday and was seen by senators but as
there was no executive session, it was
not formally before the body.
WASHINGTON, Feb 2.-The controversy
between the senate and the President re-
garding the furnishing of papers in sus-
pensions and nominations is to be dis
cussed in open session. There has been
n determination on the part Of certain
senators to bring up the subject in some
shape or other in the Legislative session,
which would incidentally bring into pub
lie discussionall sinvolved in the
controversy. Two resolutions were of
fered in the senate to-day, one by Mr..
Riddleberger, defending the action of the
senate, and the other by Mr.. Pugh, sus-
tanning the recent decision of the cabinet
which have introduced the subject in leg
islative session and will in oil probability

reply, ''it is estimated that the total
amount controlled by the brotherhood, al
the present, is sufficient to carry ON a
strike of six months duration. A strike
could be maintained on one line, how
ever, for an indefinite time, because all
the other engineers would be working
and willing to hand in their dollars for
such cause. The amount of dues an.
nually received and the assessments pro.
vided for in case of strike, would allow
the men to live very comfortably, almost
as much SO as ut present"
Stock Broker Roberts of New street
said, in reference to the Pennsylvania
being able to exist during strike: "No
time could be more unpropitious than the
present for the road to fight the Brother
hood. The Baltimore & Ohio road is out
of the passenger rate pool, and to gobble
up the Pennsylvania traffic would insure
such prestige for it that if the strike
should continue long its rival would
never be able to offset it.n

say that he was here to end the passenger
war; but, considering the relief fund
question, 1 would say that he was here to
catch on to any advantages which the
squabble of capital and labor might re.
veal to him.
There is one thing certain" said Mr..
Roberts, ''if the Pennsylvania should
force this strike, which is not at all likely,
it would enter the battle wholly unpre
pared and would decrease the face value
of its stock to such figures and create
such an impression in the financial world
that l doubt if it would ever again hold
the same place in the market. This fact
will probably prevent the road from rush
ing into war"
A fireman who had been at one of the
meetings, and who for his own personal
satisfaction had been collecting statistics
along the line, said that even in the short
space of 10 days many unions of firemen
and brakerIen had been formed.
