The Cattle Disease.

II ..-,,-.-.s ... NEW YORK, Sep. z.
The State Commissioners to investigate
the cattle disease have made a report. The
disease, they state, originated with the
Texas cattle, and is seriously aggravated
by driving and transporting. 1t is not ne
cessarily fatal to the cattle. The prevent
i've means taken have so completely sup
pressed the marketing of infected cattle
that the Commissioners think the meat now
sold is healthier than before the outbreak
of the disease.

The reign of ruffianism has been inaugu-
rated in Newark, N. j., and assaults on
officers have become very frequent. Three
separate fights, in all of which the officers
have been severely handled, occurred there
yesterday, and another affair assumed such
riotous aspect that the Mayor was called
on personally to restore order. Most of the
liquor saloons were open during the day,
although a prohibitory law is, still on the
statute books. -. 80. n 5.E..-

Strong determination is evinced by GER
tain manufacturers in New Jersey to resist
the operation of the new law for the pre-
