THE SECOND HEARING. Another Tower Session in Action This Afternoon Policemen Summoned. There will be another tower heariug of the board of public safety this af ternoon, and Officers Michael Sullivan, John Sullivan, Miles McNlff, Thomas O-Hearn, Maurice Noonan and John Byrnes will be examined4 as to their physical ability to perform the duties It ia possible that the meeting may be executive, as . there is nothing to prevent the board having the examina tion private, except . public opinion. Public opinion, however, is gradually taking the view expressed by a prom inent citizen in the Democrat one day last week, that the meetings should be executive out of regard for the feel ings of some of the officers under ex am iuation, if for no other reason. All the public is interested in la the decis ion of the board, and on what ground it is based. The public do not wish to hear about the physical disabilities of men who have had their day and performed their duty as well as tney have been able, or whether they can read and write. The .commissioners are willing to give as much secrecy as possible to te literary and physical delinquencies of the policemen. They have all the pos sible regard for the feelings of the men in that ; respect and have held the meetings public - solely because they were under the impression the public demanded them to be so. , ,The men who are to be examined to-day were selected. because they are the first six on the police roll call. The entire force will vbe examined. Collision ou the Burlington. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 26 A collision be tween passenger trains on the Burling ton north of St.. Charles, Mo., is report ed.

The severe weather prevailing over a greater part of the country and the general heavy snowfall has , caused great mortality among birds. In fact, the destruction of bird life has been so great that the national committee of the Audubon so (cietie8 has' been led to make an effort to prevent it and has issued an appeal to the public, ' especially children, to care for the birds during the inclement weather. The appeal points out that birds suffer very little in the cold weather- provided they can- secure food enough to maintain; their normal tem perature, but that sleet storms and heary falls of snow now cover all nat ural bird food and that some help is needed to prevent an excessive bird mortality. The committee suggests that bones with scraps of meat and pieces of suet be hung in orchards or door yard a, and that broken nuts and corn, email grain', chaff and waste from tlie .barn oor be scattered in places where it can easily be found by-the birds.
