So they got no satisfaction. At length the
brutes one night jumped over the bars into
their sheep pen, and tore the throats and
killed some of the most valuable OF their
flock. This was too much. The boys almost
shed tears at >.,ht of the pretty, mangled
lambs lying dead.
AT length one of them said: "Boys, we'll

Boys, We1l nix EN-, said one OF the Bam-
berry brothers.
During the day they built the sheep pen
much higher, SO that no dog could jump out
IT IL. Then they made a slanting bridge on
tn loutside, SO that dog could walk up it
and jump over into the sheep pen. But no
dog alive could jump up that wall to get out
again, and the rails were so close together
Nj even pup could not crawl through
They put their live sheep into close shed and
left the dead ones lying in the old pen. The
trap was just the kind that the pioneer farm
ers used to set to capture wolves.
In the morning, as truly as the worl !, there
were twenty three dogs in the pen. Some of
them were very aristocratic, blooded dogs,
belonging to the wealthiest people of the
neighborhood These heightened dogs looked
as Sinking and ashamed as possible. Their
owners looked no less SO when they came to
claim their pets. You see them leading the
guilty animals away, the very fellows they
had declared 10 be SO good and honest. The
Burberry boys charged every owner S. be-
fore he got his dog, and thus they received
money enough to pay damages. Some Of
the beasts never were claimed and these were
shos. All day people around about came to
look at the dog show and everybody who
didn't have a dog in it had a good long
laugh. 1t was sight to see.

The Magruder Bill.
Special to Commercial Herald.

JACKSON, Miss, March 5.-The SEN
ate judiciary committee recommended
favorabIy the house bill of Mr.. Ma
gruder for the relief of persons who
have been paying an insufficient priv
ilege license, with the following
amendment: "That the act shall not
apply to contracts Of fire insurance
where the claim is based on the occur
renee Of a fire at a date prior to the
rendering Of the decision Of the su-
preme court in February, provided any
company whose policy is held on any
such property shall, within ten days
after the passage of this act, tender
their proposition of the amount repre-
scented by the privilege paid, with in.
terest thereon" The committee was
about evenly divided as to recon-
mending this amendment, and n Of
the most prominent members of 1t
and of the senate told your cores
pendent that he did not think the
amendment would prevail, as it would
defeat one of the principal objects Of
the bill.

SENATOR MORRILL,, Mr.. Edmunds'
colleague and a member Of the Senate
since 1867, said last night that the
Presidents action was indlscreet. Il
was entirely without precedent. AS
to the Senate's right to the papers, be
believed the Senate had a right to them.
even under Senator Beck's construc-
ton. All papers Of this nature that
had ever come to the Senate before
had been regularly docketed as though
they belonged to the files Of the depart
ment. These papers were regularly on
Tile, and the Senate had a right to
them. The Presidents claim that he
could do with them as he pleased Mr..
Morrill, described as "omnlpotent.n
Another Of the Republican Senator's
was inclined to think that the Presi-
dent had hurt his position by the
message. "He reiterated what he has
already said" said the Senator .thak
he has removed no man except 9or
cause. We have all the more riuht
now to demand the papers"

A Run on a National Bank.

BRADFORD, PA, March 6.-There
was a slight run on the First National
bank to-day, which was promptly met
by 100000 from the Seaboard Bank
of New York. The examination Of
the defaulter, Christie and King, was
pat over to Thursday. Huntley and
Sohnson, under arrest, are prepared to
defend the accusation Of collision
with the clerks.

Mr.. Cleveland's Message Warmly
Approved by the Democratic Lsad-
ers.
The New Orleans P~icayune, Of the
Sd inst, has the following from its
Washington correspondent:
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The mes
sage Of President Cleveland, delivered
to the Senate, yesterday. is generally
pronounced to be one Of extraordinary
ability and to be really %impregnable on
the points discussed.
The careful reading and c~onsidera-
ton of the document has only served
to crafty the Democrats and to con-
vince them Of the s~oundness of his
position.
On the subject Of the insolent de-
mand Of the Senatorial cabal for the
papers relating to suspensions, and the
right of the President to refuse them,
and his duty to resist any attempt to
control or supervise his constitutional
function to suspend or remove public
officers, all Democrats here are a unit,
In respect to other matters, and es-
pecially as to the retention Of Repub-
licans in Office, there is much complaint
among representative men, bnt all
Democrats are ready to stand by the
President in his issue with the Senate.
The New York Tribune has a vio-
lent and abusive comment on the mes
sage, but the Times warmly commends
it.
1t is evident that Mr.. Edmunds re-
allied that he had been demolished and
that he had therefore a right to be
angry.
The debate will be general when this
topic comes up. Messrs. Kenna. PuQh.
Jackson, Gibson, Beck and others will
defend the position Of the President in
elaborate speeches.

this instance Of Halls discharge.
The Texas Pacific railway Is one Of
the five roads 10 the States Of Missouri.
Kansas, Texas, Arkansas and Louis
lana which comprise the Southwestern
Gould system. The Knights Of Labor
employed on these Eve roads are under
the immediate direction Of district
assembly 101. When the local strike
in Texas failed Of the desired result,
the Executive board Of knights Of thls
southwestern system, In session ak
Marshall, and in communication with
Receiver Brown and other officers Of the
Texas & Pacific railroad. since March
LIST, when the first lot Of men walked
out, asked an adjustment Of the trouble
by the reinstatement Of Hall and some
others who were subsequently dis
charged. With this request the board
gave notice that a refusal to comply
would be followed by a strike on the
Gould system. The railroad has failed
to do as desired, and to-day the execu-
tive board gave the word for a general
strike Of shopmen.
ST.. LOUIS, March 6.-Direct applI-
cation by an associated press reporter
to the high officials Of the
Missouri Pacific system has failed
most signalIy In eliciting any
information in regard to the strike. its
cause or its preseAt aspect. Neither
Vice-P President Hoxie, General Super
intendent Karrigan, or Traffic Man
ager Newman would talk. The few
leaders Of the Knights Of Labor who
are here are also quite as reti-
cent. It will therefore be seen
that information can be obtain
ed only under extreme difficulties.
When Master Mechanic Bartlett was
informed by a committee Of the order
that 1t had been issued and that the
men in his shop would 60 out immedi-
ately, be asked them if the men were
dissatisfied with anything, or If they
had any grievances, but they would
only reply: "We have been ordered to
quit work and leave the shops" and
they obeyed the order at once.
About 200 men were employed in
the shop.
At the Office of the yard superinten-
dent it was ascertained that some
trouble was anticipated in the hand
ling Of the engines. Locomotives are
fred and made ready for the road by
the shop men, and are not touched by
the engineers or the iremen until ready
to go out. 1t was thought probable that
If the strike continued the engines
would have to be run into the round
houses Of other roads, as was done
during the last strike on the Gould
system, and have them got ready for
working that way.
LITTLE Rock, March, 6.-The strike
Of the employees of the Iron Mountain
railroad at this point was ordered by
the central committee Of the knights
of Labor, who ordered the men to
leave work on account Of the strike
on the Texas & Pacific railroad. There
has been no interference with passen.
ger trains, but no freight is being
handled here. Large crowds Of strik'
ers congregated about the depot II
this city, and the shops in Argents
this afternoon, but everybody was Ia
good humor and no disturbance Of any
kind occurred.
