Ordered to Report For Duty.
. BT. PAUL , March 8. [ Correspondence of
the Hi.B.1 All the players under contract
with the St. Paul base ball club liavo been
ordered to report for duty at Cincinnati on
„ .April 3 , whoi'o they will cross bats with the
famous lied Stockings , and from whence
they will work west , bringing up In Omaha
on the ISth. There nro at present sixteen
men under contract , and on thin ( rlpManager
Barnes will endeavor to select from this
number n team capable of making a good
nhowlng' the coming season in the Western
McUguo. The men signed are Earlo and
Kcmmlcr , catchers ; Duryca , Anderson ,
Tuckerman , Sowders and Vogel , pitchers ;
. Morrissey , first base ; Shafer , second base ;
. Rcilly , third base ; Plqkctt , ' short ; Vcach ,
left field ; Murphy , center , and' Cur-
' 'roll , . right. . Besides ' thcso Quest
' "and Corbett , both second basemen , nro under
contract to St. Paul , but the above Is looked
' ' upon by the management as the way the men
. are most likely to bo placed. Quest Was
> Ignod.to . captain the toani , as It was thought
his long experience us a bull player would
' . peculiarly fit him for the position'but'tt Is
. ' doubtful if ha la given a place on the team' ,
ns ho Is considered by u great many to be out
of his element with the young blood that will
compose the Western league this season. At
any rate , ho will have to put up an oxcccd-
ingly good guino on the practice trip tf ho Is
retained on the team. Corbett will bo used
as a general mibstltuto. '
Earlo will support the older and steadicr ot
tJio pitchers , wlillo "Baron" KudolpU.Komm -
iiar. will bo culled upon to steady the young-
' > , ijtcrs and give them , confidence Inth'cmsolvcs , .
1 dy faculty which the Uaron'possesses-to a
largo degree. Earlo is u heavy hitter and flue
" "baso runner.
Of 'the pitchers , Duryca , Anderson and
tfTuckcrman were in the Northwestern leaffup
' 'last season , while Sawders and Vogel n'ro'thb
' . /young / blood. " Sowdcrs is a left-handed
brother of Hilly , of Boston fame , and letters
.from Indlanajwlis ball players say ho will
Buroly develop Into u puzzler. Vojjol plteiied
ijjlast year for the Uosorvos , a crack amateur
' - iftub of this city , without losing a game , and j
'
in fact , never has occupied the box In n los-
' .li'g game ; but of course tho'management
hardly look for him to continue this record.
Tie Is almost the exact Imago of Duryea In
Jjpth height , weight and style of delivery ,
O'jAndcrson did as much as any of the Mlhvau-
Jkoo's pitchers in landing that club In' second
, " place last season , both by his fine pitching
and his good work with the bat. Tuckermnn
wa ? overworked early last season' by
* T MlnncaiKJlls , and , as a result , nursed a Inmo
nrm the greater part of .the season. Ho baa
Vf ully recovered the use of his arm , however ,
nnd will undoubtedly do some good work ,
Duryoa'B work lost season * for St. Paul , and
' * during the p.ist winter for Los Angeles , has
caused the management .to oxpcct great
things from him this season. ' Ho Is a hard
' "hitter , loading all of the Northwestern'
'league pitchers at the bat last season , but Is a
' ' -poor base runner. His flno pitching against
the Chicago club last fall has given him
confidence In himself , U want of which has
always been his great draw-back. He didn't
really know hpw good. a pitcher ho was him-
'jolf until he-faced Anson's nine. '
.Morrissey , who will hold down flrst basoli-
n giant In stature. He Is great on one-
' * i andcd stops of wild thrown balls , Is a hard
\vorlicr , always playing to win. Ho is a. fair
.hitter , but slow on the bases. Sharer , who
will undoubtedly guard bag No. 3 , Is a great
.hitter and base-runner , and his peculiar
iiotnotiiod of coaching has won for him the title
. " of "tho Latham of the Northwest. " Plckett
made such n good showing nt short last
Buason that ho will bo kept there this you' ,
'provided Uellly shows up ns well nt third at
Is expected. Jf Rcilly fulls , then Pickott will
go to third , Quest to second and Shafcr
to short. Hellly will probably hold his own ,
however , for while ho was with Eau Claire
, lost season ho developed into a veritnblo
elugcror. He covered lots of ground and nuin-
iiged to get around the bases as rapidly as
the best of thorn.
The outfleld will compare favorably with
any in the Icaguo. Vouch is ft prcat ball
' player. Ho covers lots ot ground ; is a hard
tblttor , and a fliio base-runner. He led both
iho right Holders and flrst baacrwm last BCU-
* son , and Ues Molnes will regret letting him
got a\vny before the season is over. Ho will
receive tfiOO nt the end of the season if ho
abstains from drink. Murphy and Carroll
' 'too both flno Holders. , good base-runners aud
i ( air hitters.
oOCamparcd with last'season the club Is
probably considerably -weaker in the box , and
at the bat , while it. Is greatly strengthened
, , iu both fielding nnd base running. The team
work last season was wretched. Pickott ,
"Who captained the teuin , hod only limited
authority over the players , besides which ho
wes himself woefully ignorant of the rules.
I JNThis season , however , the captain will bo
t " ttlvcn full fhargoof the men on the field , mid
better results as to. work are sure to result.
w In looking over theoftlclul list of players
I signed by the clubs of the different leagues ,
the other day. I noticed that the name otP.
J. O'Coiincll does not appear with
i these of. the other players signed
< - by Omaha. Whether this Is merely
an oversight , or whether his contract has not
vet boon sent to tlio secretary for approval , I
ktiow not ; but in the list of Kulamazoo
rplayers the numo of P. J. Council occurs.
" "Had it netfn with any other club than Knln-
intuoo , I probably would have paid no atten
tion to It , but the similarity of the mimes
. . truck me , and aftoc looking over all thu
iaso ball literature I had at hand fora "Con-

"NOW AiunvrVAOES. . "
The company printed a car load of circulars
giving a comparative : statement of wages ,
showing the difference between the trip
system of wages In vogue and the ni16ago | °
system asked for by the men. The company.
selected some of the best pavingVuns for ex
ample , nnd to deceive the public by claiming
that our demands were unjust. ' Ono of thu
runs' cited is that between Holyoke aud
Cheyenne , ' a distance of 181 miles. By the
rip system of pay the engineer's wages was
bout $140 per month , provided ho made the
un eVery day. ' By tno-mileage systcni , the
aniq number of runs would not him about
180. The average day'6 work , for an engineer ,
s 100 miles on nearly all roads in the country ,
o you can readily see .that a round tl'lp
n the Cheyenne division , is equal to three
nd a half days' work. The same service on
ho Union Pacific would net the engineer
13.47. for the round trip. The Burlington
inya. $3.50. The company wisely refrained
rom making any mention of the number of
> oor-pnylng runs In the state , and did not
make any reference to the poverty pav Of the
ecpnd nnd third class engineers. . The cora :
lany also positively refused to adopt the
mileage system of wages , yet the wages of
ho men were computed on that basis , or $3.10
xjr 100 miles for flt-st-classengineers on main.

LINCOLN , Neb. , March 4. f pecial Tole-
gr.im to the Bi-.u.l The feeling of .re
sentment against the Chicago , Burlington & .
Quincy railroad in tholr bringing to tUo
state armed Pinkerton men , Is growing in
; his city. Such men as G. M. Lambortsou ,
Judge Mason , Patrick Egan , John B. Wright ,
and scores of othprs condemn it in unmeas
ured terms. Ono of the most prpmlnent- citi
zens in the state said to-day ; "Tho qtrikio ,
of the engineers nnd firemen on the Chicago ,
Turlington & Quincy railroad is a blatter of
regret. It has been a calamity ) an injury
a the public aiid a detriment to the various
justness interests ot the state , but it must bo
admitted ihey had a right.to quit the service
Of the company if they choose so'to do' , and
eave the company free and undisturbed to
employ-any who chose to take their places.
Phis they did. But whut right hns.tho com-
liany to bring in armed foreign mercenaries
nnd distribute them over the state under the
pretext of protecting tholr property i Their
property was Hccuro under the , protection of
the law. The same law , the same officers ,
: ho same police force , executive nnd
judicial officers protected this great corpora-
Lion , that protected the humblest citizen.
LJcsIdos all was peace and quiet when this
eorjK > ration imported n largo force of armed
and uniformed men under the name of
Pinkerton's detectives , nnd distributee } them
over the state under the specious pretext of
enforcing law nnd order. They parade our
streets with n military nnd deiiant air nnd by
looks , nets nnd deeds provoke the strikers to
violence und lawlessness. This act of itself
was ono of lawless violence , nn Insult' to the.
people of the state and to the
judicial and executive department thereof.
It was nn outrage. It AVUS moro ;
it wnsnn insnlt nnd outrage upon every home
builder nnd laborer in this state. Had this
net been done by a private citbcn whut would
Imvo been said of 111 How would it have
been characterized I It may truthfully bo
said this corporation bus imported among us
in times of peace standing armies without the
consent of the legislature. They have quar
tered largo bodies of armed men among
us In tlio persons of thcso so-called
detectives. This company has hired a
multitude of nuw police officers nn sent
hither scores of them to harass nnd Insult
our people and eat out tlfolr substance. Tills
act of the corx | > ratlon , In any view that can
be taken of it , Is an insult und an outpace
upon the state. It Is nn open declaration to
the world that Its vast property Is lnsccu.ro
nnd that the civil nnd military authorities of
the state are unable to protect it. That thQ
state is Inhabited by lawless anarchists like
Chicago and eastern cities. Every cltlren of
this state and every resident official knows
cither or any of these assertions to bo utterly
false. "

A DOQ ON THE WITNESS STAND.
lie. Testifies In a Mlnnpitpolln Court In
' Conclusive Manner.
Pioneer Press : The 'Intolligqndo of
nnimnla mid moro ' particulnrty nmn'8
best friend , thu dog , lias bboil'tno sub-
J ct of almost , numberless stories nnd' '
legends , both ancient and 'inodurh , but
it is nn occurrence ns rnro as it is won
derful that a dog l ns been brought into
court before'judge and jury to give ovl- .
donee andplead in Ills own cause. The
records of the districfcourtof TIennopin
county show ono of UICBO unparalleled
cases , mid its details furnish material
( or a very interesting little narrative.
The case of Burton vs Gopbringer won
on the calendar recently , nnd the buro
( acts only ( ound their way into tlio
court reports in thu papers. But there
is an exceedingly interesting1 story , ono
worthy o ( the pen o ( a"Dickons' .
Some two yuars ago II. J. Burton , o (
the Plymouth clothing house , . Minuo-
npolis , lost a valuable Gordon setter
dog. It was a splendid atiimul a clean
limbed , finely proportioned thorough
bred , that had been the pet and pride
o ( the ( ainily since its birth. Mrs. Bur
ton , in particular , lavished great ntTeo-
tlon on the dog , regarding him almost
in the light of ono of the family , and
she grieved sorely at his loss , lie was ,
moreover , as intelligent as he wnshand-
sqtne , and Mrs. Burton has taught him
many entertaining little tricks.
Sport > ns ho was called , was on many
occasions called upon to exhibit his ac
complishments fondmtring visitors. The
whole family mourned long .for their
lost pot and took ovoi-y moans' in their
power to find him ; but in vain : They
had long since lost njl hope. o ( over.see-
ing him again , when n couple ot months
ago Mr. Burton ran. across Sport .on the
street and took him homo , where'he re
ceived nn enthusiastic ' ovation of the
soft accorded the prodigal son .of old <
At this juncture , however , Chris Gooh-
ringer , the bridge'salopnkeopcr , ap
peared On the scene niul claimed the
dog as his own , alleging that.'ho had
bought him two years previously. Of
course , there was nn animated dispute ,
but it ended in Mr' . Burton retaining
possession of Sport , nnd .to guard against
a possible kUlnapinng.ho sent him to a
friend living in' tno country. During
his two years' " ownership Goohringer ,
too , had become greatly attached
to the dog , and was not disposed to
relinquish his title to his ownership
without a uontest , ' . ' and accordingly
at once bQgnn legal 'proceedings' to re
cover him. ' A writ' of replevin was is
sued , and Mr. Burton was compelled to
produce the dog ; .on the occasionof'the
'
trial , Which' took place before Judge
Start and a jury recently. Plenty of
reliable evidence piled up on both sides ,
and from the tcstimony.it seemed to be
n question beyond-the power of 'man to
decide. Mr. - Burton produced wit
nesses to prove thatho , had owned the
dog' since his puppyhood. On the other
hand , Goohringor brought in the per
son of whom ho Jmd purchased Sport , a
man pf unblemished reputation , who ,
on his part , produced witnesses equally
as trustworthy as Mr. Burton's , to provd
that ho had owned the dog as a puppy
and up to the tiino ho sola him to
Goohriugor. There appeared to bo a
case of mistaken identity somewhere ,
all parties concerned apparently being
perfectly honest and sincere in their
belief as to the true . ownership of the
dog. Judge and jury alike wore in a
terrible quandary. Justice boomed to
depend on a hit-or-miss decision. '
At this juncture Mr. Burton , who was
evidently prepared for-such n critis IIB
this , asked the court if ho might ho al
lowed to introduce the evidence
of .the dog. . No . .objections
wore made to this novel notion , nnd
every one in the court room was all at
tention at once , wondering exceedingly
What was coming. Then Mr. Burton , ,
mindful of tlio accomplishments winch
bis wife had taugbi Sport in his youth ,
turned to the dog , who , to tell the truth
was a very disinterested-appearing
Spectatornnd said in a careless tone of
voice. "Come , Sport , go and slu-t the
door ! " - \Vithouta moment's hesitation ,
the intelligent droitturo trotted over to
the door of the court room , which- hap
pened to bo njnt' , shoved it shut , and
then trotted back to his master and
looked expectantly up into his face.
The latter then took a bono out of his
pocket and laving it.on the floor at his
foot , said : "Well Sport , that was well
done ; apd now would you like your din
ner ? " The dog's head nodded an
emphatic alllriniition , but Jio
seemed to bo in no hurry
to take tlio bono , appearing to bo wait
ing for sotft preliminary proceedings.
"You do , yon do ? " said Mr. Buvton (
"but you must remember that itis
necessary for o good orthodox dog to say
grace before eating. " Upon the word
the dog dropped down on his stomach ,
extended his head along the lloor , and
reverently covered his eyes with his
paws. In this respectful position lie re
mained a minute or BO , after which Mr.
Burton came out with a loud and fervent , -
vent "nmcn. " Sport sprang to his foot
like n flash and seized the bono without
any moro ceremony , crounehing it be
tween his strong jaws with a relish that
would show that the grace had added
to , rather than detracted from , its tooth
some flavor. Mr. Burton then explained
that if the jury cared to see unj- moro
entertainments in that line ho Would
have the dog do his famous "gallant"
act. In this , ho Mud , Sport would sit
upon his haunches with a hat on his
head. When asked how ho Miluted a
gentleman when meeting him , ho
would deftly touch the edge of the hat
with his right paw but when asked how
ho saluted a lady under the bamo cir
cumstances , he would bring up the paw
and knock the hat off his head.
All concerned , however , appeared to
bo well witisflcd with what they had
seen , and without any moro delay
Judge Start charged the jury. Ho
spoke very briefly , merely bringing to
their notice the fact that the evidence
on each side was practically paired by
that on the other , and the opposing
witnesses all equally reliable. It was
for them to decide the question as it
seemed right for them , lie made no al
lusion to the evidence furnished by thu
dog , wisely leaving the jurors to act on
their own responsibility as to the value
of that novel and unlovkod-for testi
mony. Tlio jury wont out , and in a few
minutes came back with a verdict for
Mr. Burton. Mr. Goohringur and his
witnesses wore naturally astonitdied at
the dog's wise actions , knowing nothing
of his accomplishments in that lino.
But they wore thoroughly sntibilod that
they had boon mistaken as to the ident
ity of the dog , and confessed that Mr.
Burton must bo the rightful owner.
Sport followed bib triumphant master
out of the court room and to his homo ,
little imagining , no doubt , how impor
tant u factor he hud been in the suit ( or
his possession.
