the department, and the members
would certainly do nothing to lnIure
the company's name. Then he read
what H. B. Stevens had said through
the HERALD of that afternoon, anc de-
MED the statements made therein. The
only motive actuating the hooks was
the desire to maintain the company S
standard of excellence, and he claimed
that two horses were insufficient TO haul
that 5000 pounds truck to fire.
The chair here observed that 1t was
not customary for the chief OF the
department to consult with foremen
before making any changes. Mr..
Bevan replied that such a radical
change as that had not been made in
years. Mr.. Hille then entered SOL
emn protest against removing the
third horse, as two horses could not
pull the big machine. w. A. Neil
laid the burden of the blame on II. b.
Stevens whom he avered was a kid
glove fireman who never wet his hands
at a fire Then MIR. Neil proceeded
without any elabOrateness of ceremO-
nv to prance on Stevens gentle frame.
until the chair ca LED him down with
the remark that Mr.. Stevens was not
present to defend himself.
Mr.. Bevau, the foreman, moved that
q resolution be adopted condemning

the board of directors to put the three
horses back on the truck. Mr.. Mills
paugh said in respect to this that the
chief had prepared written report to
be submitted to the directors at to-
nights meeting. r. G. Lyons and Col
Netf desired peace in the family, and
the latter advised loyalty to the com
pany although a third horse be denied
them. The proposition to pass a vote
of censure on the chief was lost % 20 6:
but it was decided to appoint commit
tee of three to protest before the
directors of the department, asking
that the horses be stationed at their
former locations on the ground that the
change crippled the efficiency OF the
department..
The chair appointed }. p. O'Connor,
w. G. Wall and NJ. G. Edwards as such
committee who withdrew, and shortly
presented the following;

of Ex-Gov. Terrazas as had been re.

Terrazas, but the price was not

TWO HORSES, OR THREE?
That Is the Burning Question With the
Fire Department.

The hook and ladder company held
an animated meeting last night, when
the principal matter under discussion
was the recent action of Chief Conner
in giving to the hook and ladder truck
weighing 5000 pounds, two horses,
where heretofore, it has been thought
three were none too many.
President Netf presided and did his
level best to pour oil on the troubled
waters, and counseled that PERSONAL
ties be not INDUCED in. Foreman Be
van said the meeting was called to dis
cuss the chiefs action in gripping the
efficiency of the company by taking
away one of the horses. The speaker
held that the company was the best in

William RAIDER is no longer in it..
There was a young fifteen pounds en-

night, who informed the old man that
he had just better get right off the foot

the cars. there the shipper declares
there was not the slightest sign OF scab
or any infection, and how the inspect
ors on this side of the river should
make the discovery Of sca0. Is beyond
the comprehension of himself and hr.
Crarv. The FL PASO custom house
received the consular invoice, AID the
bills of sale were all right, and bore sou
worth of stamps. The shippers had
receipts from the FL PasO custom house
for the duties paid, which amounted TO
1886 in gold.
AS for returning the sheep to MeXi-
co, the authorities over the river
argued that after the duties had been
paid and accepted on this side, the
sheep were not longer Mexican but
American sheep; and to return them
would involve payment to the Mexican
custom house of s. per head import
duty, thus making any return shipment
of the stock out of the q IestIon. ana
besides, if they had scab, the Mexican
government did not want them over
there ANYHOW. Mr.. Knott says that
the lambs had little or nothing to eat
at the Chihuahua stock yards for about
five days before shipment, because of
the delay on the part of the Mexican
Central, ard they got to eating the
wool of one another's back TO sustain
life. Then after the sheep got here,
they were fed by Mr.. Knott at an
expense of $780, although the
sheep had really not been turned over
O him by the railroad companies
And just here comes what may prove
something of legal poser. The Mexican
Central brought the animals over, and
the Santa F'e received them and put
them in the pens, without the stock
being turned over to the owner, and
the U. court is expected to be called
upon to decide as to which company is

That Closing up Proposition.

A mem Der of the Brotherhood of St.
Andrew attended Sunday afternOon's
meeting of the Epworth League at
Trinity church, and gave the League
to understand the Brotherhood was
about to inaugurate movement to
| persuade business men to close up
| their stores On Sunday, and wished the
| cooperation Of the other religious So
| cietles. The idea at once met with APP
prOval from the League dithe scheme
was TO give the Brotherhood of St.
Andrew all the help possible in this
| good movement.
But now, with the publication of the
above, comes Rev. E. II. j. Andrews,
secretary OF the Brotherhood with the
statement that the same was unauthor-
lied, and entirely without foundation.
In the first place, St Clements Chap
ter of the Brotherhood OF st. Andrew,
even if it had decided-which is quite
untrue-to petition the merchants to
do as stated, which, it is persuaded,
they would be only too glad to do could
they but see the way, would certainly
never dream of asking the cooperation
of any other society or body in the
work. In the second place, it has not
thought of arrogating to itself the Of
fee of dictator in the business affairs
of the community.
The Brotherhood of st. A ndrew is
governed by two rules, and two only,
aud these rules are: ~ The rule of
prayer, and ~ the order-''to pray
daily for the spread of Christ's King
dom and for GOD 5 blessing upon the
labOrs of the Brotherhood the rule of
service ito make an earnest effort each
week to bring at least one young man
within hearing of the gospel of Jesus
Christ, as set forth in the services of
the church and in young mt as bible
classes" These are the two rules by
which the actions of the Brotherhood
are governed. To do anything that is
not embraced by these rules is to GO
entirely beyond the limits of its sphere
of labour. Such scheme as has been
mapped out for it by your informant,
while ambitiously philanthropic, must
if attempted end as disastrously as the
attempts which have been already
made in this direction. Nevertheless,
St. Clements Brotherhood men would
be only too glad to see the Lords Day
, observed in El PasO as the law intend
ed that it should be observed, but far
from charging the business men with
any wilful breach of the Sunday clos
ing act, l am firmly of the opinion that
those most DESTROYS of seeing all the
stores and business places closed on
! the day of rest" are the merchants
and business men themselves.

teution to the fact notwithstanding the
sheep had to be killed TO prevent
spread of the scab, their
carcasses were being distrih
uted all over the country with infect, d
skin on their heads, and the hides had
been disposed of to local firm Of bu'-
chers who would sell the same to the
wool and hide men. Was this in the
line Of proper precautiOn? TIE value
of the sheep was all of 81 per head, in
American money instead Of six
bits as was reported, and altogether
Mr.. Knott said he was out about $4,000
on the stock and expenses. Mr.. Crazy
was at Chihuahua at the time the seiz-
ure was made, about to ship 5000 more
young sheep north. But he quit on re-
ceipt of telegram from Mr.. Knott
