New York, Jan. -31.-Following the
placing of the New Amsterdam Ma

Traders bank in the hands Of bank
examiners and temporary receivers
Thursday, there was run on the Orr.

Hugh Kelly were reported to have
gone to his rescue with $1,000,000,
which effectually met the run on the
Oriental Depositors thronged the of
flee OF the Oriental bank The bank
ing rooms are comparatively small,
and the line before the teller's window
could not be accommodated within
doors, but extended ont Oh Broadway
and around the corner into John
street.
The Oriental bank withstood the run
successfully. When its doors we're
closed for the day at the usual hour,
p. M, the line of waiting depositors
had disappeared.
Clearing House in Statement.
The following statement was made
Thursday by Manager Sherer of the
New York clearing house: There are
outstanding $5,590000 of clearing
house loan certificates, which are
amply secured These certificates are
for the account of the Mechanics and
Traders bank, the National Bank of
North America, the Oriental bank and
the New Amsterdam National bank.
The Oriental bank had q debt at the

Fearing heavier withdrawals Thurs

to close their doors.
Action Looked For.
Although this action was not unex-

informed men in the financial world, 1t
found many of the depositors UMPIRE

of these banks several others not in

Pneumonia of Hogs.
'.Thumps." or pneumonia. is a severe
and rapidly fatal disease in hogs. The
symptoms are loss of appetite, shiver-

cough. Give the animals warm, dry,
comfortable quarters, free access to
fresh water and every morning tive
drains of saltpeter in a small mess of
Cruel Feed but little dry corn.
Detecting Spavins.
Spayins are of three kinds-bone.
bog and blood Bone spavins are the
most common. From a study of the
anatomy of the hook joint we find that
1t is made up Of ten different bones.
which artieulate one with another and
are in perfect conformation. Bone
SPAWN is the disease which obliterates
one or more of these articulations by
cementing two or more bones together
with bony growth This may or may
not destroy the conformation, depend
ing upon the nature of the SPAWN.
There are several ways of detecting
spavins, depending upon the nature of
the spavin-by sight, by feeling and by
the action of the animal Standing in
front and little to one side and look
ing across the inside of the hook will
show the SPAWN If it be one that makes
an enlargement of the joint To one
familiar with the disease the touch is
a good indicator. Pass the ball of the
first or second finger over the joint
right hand for the left leg and left
hand for the right leg, and the oblitera-
ton Of the articulation will be noticed
Another test consists In bringing the
leg of the horse into the position Of ex-
treme fiexion-i. e., the position In
which the blacksmith holds the leg
when he is finishing the shoeing Of that
foot Hold it there for a minute or
so, then release it and make the horse
take few steps. II spawned, he will
step on the top of the foot or limp a
