[ Special Tele- ( 'ram to the llr.K.J ( leorgo A. Trout , the murderer of Kd S. Hatch , Is still at large , al though vlirorous search Is being niiulu for him In all directions. It was reported to-day that early In thu morning otter the murder a stranger appeared at the residence of 1" . Montague , four mllrs southwest of JulTcrsou , Dak. , and asked for a rnzor with which to shave , iliough lie were only a mustache. He also requested an old stilt of clothes. From the description given by Mr. Montag'ue , there Is every reason to believe that the stranger was Trout. When leaving this place the stranger started west towards Elk Point. Olllccrs are now on tills trail ana hope very soon to overtake him. Mr. Moutazito had not heard of the murder when the stranger visited him , but says he was very nervous , and describes his appearance and dress , which closely cor responds with TroutV. At thi ! residence of Clmrles l.eller , near Montague's , Trout was furnished wltn a razor , shaved his moustache and put on an old suit , ot clothes. It is hoped this may prove to be the riirlit trail , and that Trout will not escano justice. Hatch was burled hero to-uay. The funeral was well at- teuucit and the mother oC the deceased , who resides In Atkinson , Neb. , was present. ITS KND. The Evlilcnco Cloaca in the Brown Impeachment Trlnl.

OliVKIiOt ! 31KyT OF TIII2 11OHS1X Veoin the Pony With Sixteen Hqofil to ttio Noble Atilmnl of Moilcrn Times. 1'ltisbnrff Dispatch : Alth u li the mule , its Sunset Cox said , "Is without the pride of ancestry , " it is quitu n 4itlore.rit tiling vrilli his relative on one side of the house , in whoso outlines , bearing , size anil In telligence niny bo soon very plainly his nobility anil pure linoaRo. Tlio ancestry of the liorsn can bo traced back before tlio time of Midland's nion- nrcli.i , beyond tlio Caesars of tlio Ktoriuil City , beyond the creation of man , and i-vfti further than the very layer of i-artli on which we live. Into the rocks nnd petrifaction of the nge below us. Ancient as is his family tree , the horse species is not by any moans en titled to bo classed among the "first fnm- llii's"jind , yut his linongo is cnoujrh to put to blush these foolish pcoplo tortu- miti'lv few in our country who m-ide thumsulvcs upon their descent anil feel good because a great-grimdfutlier did something which is thought to shod luster upon Iiis degenerated , high-collared , shnrp-toeil descendants. Any old cart horse on the street can show nn older and purer strain of descent. Far back be.foro the ago of man there lived upon the earth a spnoics of the horse family , long ago extinct , which at thu present day would make u .siipwtunuFs fortune. This horse was very little larger than a sheep , and some not largiir than a turrlor dog. Those little horses , as far as wu know trom thofd'ssll remains , wore the beginning of tlio horse tribo. ' They had every outline of horses , and the anatomy also , with the exception that the feet wore most peculiar. " , Instead of having one hoof-on each leff , , as our modern horses hus.gUiis. diminutive pony was the possessor or four , making sixteen hoofs in all. As' the horse de veloped these hoofs , or , sneaking moro ; correctly , these toes , all bub onu disap peared , leaving our modurti horse to walk" upon the end of one too t'O each Ing. If they iiad all continued to raRti\hi"per manent the blacksmiths would haVO" re joiced. In order to understand the manner of tlio gradual disappearance of these toes a- little unntomv may be tolerated. Starting with tlio hand of man as u standard , the thumb , which is raijly a linger , is called thu lirst linger , tint itulux is the second , the next , third , fourth and fifth. It has been observed that whim this order is in any way interfurred with the lirst to disappear is tiie thumb on lirst finger. This i.s noticed in dogs. ' Their "dew uluw" is the lir.stliuger or thumb. Ho it was with the little lior.scs. No re mains can be found possessing thu lirst linger. Thooarliosi lias the secondthird , fourth and lifth tous present , all of which reached thu ground and were usable. These toes all disappeared until none was left except the. third , which is tlio tou upon \\hohocnd the horsus of the present day walk. Thu oone just preceding our modern horse had three toes , thu second , third and fourth , qut thu inside ones did not reach the ground , and were accordingly not usable. They were up a littc ( dis tance on thu leg , like the little hoof of a deer , and only remain on our modern horse in what ia known as splint bones. It occasionally happens that horses , as well as oilier animals , will breed back , and a monstrosity , as it appears to us , will bo the result. In England some time ago a horse was born wliioli had two hoofs on eauli foot , and was carried about the country as n curiosity. It was a reference , or index' , of what sort of foot the species once had. Just why the-j were at first in possession of such feet is 'a"matter of conjecture. It may have been because thp ground was soft and marshv , and tlio extra feet gave more surface for resistance , a V a the earth grow lirnfor no necessity existedior so many toes , so that by cllsdso they bcgnn to disappear. With the modification of the feet of the horse increased in height and strength , { retting ready to help man bear his bur dens and progress in the line of civiliza tion , and it is true that if all the horses in a city wore to die , and there wore no moans by winch their places could bo tilled , civilization would retrograde , because - cause men would have to Dear their own burdens , nnd the physical man would iu- crouse at the oxpun.se of the intellectualso that in tlmo we wouldallgo back to semi- savages , as tlio students of an athletic college do. The horse , as wo have it now , is a vast improvement over the steed of ancient times. It is dependent upon man for 'its very life and man is dependent upon it. As it increased in size , through mun'9 inlurfcreijoc and culture , it nfco increased in mental ca- paejty , until one of tlo most intulligclu , docile , useful creatures ever given by u Supreme Being to man is the animal almost human the horso. In very early days hofss were not used by all nations , nnd by noiio as boasts of burden. Asses and mules Old tiio drudgery , nnd horses were only used as racers , warriors - riors , hunters , or to carry their owners upon journeys of pleasure or business. Seeing men on horseback , apparently a part and parcel of the boast , led soma natives to tmnic that tlio strange appear' anco was but one animal ; hence the be lief in the centvar or animal half horse and half man. In war they wore a source of great terror to those' who woro'lm'fa- ' miliar with tliom , and often iftl Approach of a troop would strike dismay to the hearts 9 ! the enemy. The gradual development from thu lit tle pocket pony into the f nil-grown hpr il has been n prominent factor in IhVhd * vancomunt of the human race , and upon no other animal has the hand of human interference been so marked. This ch'n be seen iu the wonderful variety in thp horse family. Shetland ponies , heavy draught horsus , the racer whose foot spurn the ground , and the slow , plodding , but powerful horse which drawa our iron wagons are all tlio result of care in breed , ing and human improvumont of a species at one tifno well-nigh useless.

" PolicicarPowcr ot Kiulwny Corpora tions , The political power of the railway cor porations in tiie United States is a matter as well known as is the corruption by which it lias been acquired. The state of Pennsylvania has long been regarded as the special property of the Pennsylvania railway corporation to such an extent that , in ordinary conversation in that commonwealth , any endeavor to obtain justice in opposition to the will of that potential body is discouraged as uso- lohs ; while the supreme cotirfof Penn sylvania , once renowned for intelligence and integrity , is now a by word nnd a reproach , and an author of a legal work finds it necessary to vwrn his students not to attach weigh to its decisions , us it is a tool of corporations. The supreme court of tliu United States includes two judges who are regarded as railway judges. The senate of the United States lias bocqmo the stronghold of the great corporations , estimates having been made that even one-fourth of its members arc railway representatives. IMrn. l-'romont.
