The Horse MaIady-HOw it
Affects a Man-What the
Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Says about Tt.
In the annual report of the
Commissioner of Agriculture,
there is an interesting and valu-
able article on the epizootic
apth@ which broke out in this
country in 1870. 1t says that
though no broken chain of evil
dence concerning the source off
that outbreak is forthcoming, mol
one acquainted with the nature
of the disease can for a moment
doubt thatiit was imported from
Europe. Though certainly pre-
vailing in Central Europe for
nearly two centuries, it reached
Great Britain only In 1889, Den
mark in 1841, and America in
1870. No atmospheric or eli
matte changes would account for
such results. Diseases like in
duenza, which appear to be due
to such vicissitudes, sweep over
simultaneously; or nearly SO our
continents and islands and even
ships in mid ocean; whereas this
is circumscribed for centuries by
a narrow sea or a well guarded
neck Of land, and crosses only
when the victims are allowed to
pass. Moreover in each of these
cases a definite importation can
be traced. Cattle shipped from
an English port in August showed
signs of the disease when two
days at sea, passed through it
on the ocean and landed appar-
emily well, but conveyed it to the
stock among which they were
placed on their arrival. in Can
ada. Whether it spread from
this point, or whether there was
another importation, there is no
evidence to show. It's existence
was reported at 0riskany, One
ida county, in September, about
the time of the State agricultural
show at Utica, supposed to have
been brought by Canadian cattle,
but subsequent inquiry has failed
to afford anything more than re-
port for this alleged origin. AT
different times, from the 18th Of
| November to the 7th of Decem-
ber, it was brought into Duchess
county by five separate droves
from Albany, which had been
carried East on the New York
Central railroad. 1t prevailed
extensively, and caused great
losses at Armenia, Pawling, South
Dover, Dover Plains and La
Grange. From Duchess county
Iit was conveyed into Connecticut,
and spread widely in New Mil
ford, Kent and Sherman. 1t was
also conveyed to the valley Of
the Connecticut river, and spread
in the towns of Hadley, Hatfield,
Northampton and East Hamp-
ton. The disease was also con-
veyed to Brighton, Mass, and
spread extensively around Bos-
ton, at Concord, Ipswich, New
buryport, Acton, etc., reaching
some points in New Hampshire.

The regular Republican Grant
party of Illinois has to eat it's
own poison, of which it will
probably die too. The abomina-
BILE temperance law, foisted upon
that State a year ago, has come
home to it. At Chicago, where
the influence of the Eastern mo-
nopolists whose money is used
to reconstruct the city, is now
stronger than ever before, it was
hitherto supposed that the Grant
majority could be maintained
unimpaired, and Illinois thus Sc
cured for Grant, This expecta-
ton of the GRANTEES has recefv-
ed a terrible and wholly unex-
pected shock. The enforcement
of the temperance and Sunday
law has created a general change
Of sentiment among the Chicago
Germans who were hitherto
greatly attached to the Grant
party, and produced an uncom-
mon excitement, which all re-
bounds to the benefit Of the Lib
eral party. The Chicago papers
write in a. tone. of .unmistalable
despair. The Republican party
passed its tyrannical temperance
law in the Legislature as a par
tisan measure by means of a
strict party vote (seVen German
representatives s'excepted) 1t de-
serves the punishment now me-
ted out to it, r.sm .s

and are about to strangle it. We

therefore, entitled to the best
hopes. Therefore, to work here

The only cause of itself capa-
bic Of inducing the disease is
-contagion or contact of a sound
animal with the virus discharged
from the sores of an aphthous
patient. Many accessory causes
may be named, such as wet,
muddy season, which insures the
contact Of the virus deposited on
the soil with the skin about the
tops of the hoofs; the accumula-
ton Of cattle in large fairs or
markets; travel of stock by rail
or road, and the like. Yet these
are but means of the diffusion of
the poison, while no one of them,
nor taken together, can call the
disease into existence where the
poison is not already present
Though prevalent in Europe du-
ring, or after almost every great
war since 1896, it did not reach
Great Britain until 1889, when
it was brought by Dutch cattle
imported into London. ** y
In 1841 it is first reported in
Denmark. y n The list
of real causes is narrowed down

AccidentaI Poisoning.

Yesterday morning about ten o'clock a
North Cherry street merchant saw flea on
his hand, and poured chemical fluid on
the animal, whose feelings were so badly
hurt that it died Immediately. The fluid
was used to take stains out of goods, and
supposed to be poisonous. Seeing the bis
ter raised on his hand the gentleman forgot
the nature Of the fluid and applied his lips.
In a second or so his mouth commenced
burning, which so alarmed him that he took
the street cars for home. BY the time he
arrived there something Ike commissions
had commenced, and physician not being
convenient, large quantity of ipecacuanha
was taken and afforded relief TO the sufferer.
A physician arrived, and an examination Of
the poisonous fluid, which had been sent
TO the house from the store, showed it was
nothing more than harmless solution Of
carbolic acid and Gray's ointment. The
poisoned man recovered in time to put in
an appearance late in the afternoon, and
has made arrangements to set out cham
payne today.

Aitemntad HomIelda.

The night of the Goth of this month five
mounted men went to the widow Hunts
house, two and half miles from East Per-
ryville, Wayne county, and called for two
of the lady's sons, John and Sam. The
young men falling to go out, the men who
were disguised, rode around the house sew
eral times, bowling and grooming as ifthey
meant bloody work, and then left. Not
liking the situation the brothers loaded
their shot guns, and going out
of the house concealed themselves
near the roadside. They had not been
there long before the party of men returned,
whereupOn the Hunts fired, killing one
mule and wounding two others. This
caused the party to beat a hasty retreat,
and it is thought enc of them was badly
wounded or probably killed, as coat per-
forated in its breast with bulle5 holes was
found near the scene Of action. One of the
party is missing, and another has left the
neighborhood. The difficulty originated
from personal matter, and was in no way
connected with politics.

continues until Oct. 8. Louisville has
been late in inaugurating an enterprise of

for having witnessed the workings of those

how such Exposidons should be conducted,
and probably, in some way or other, sug-
gest improvements which will be appreci-
ated by the large number Of visitors
that will attend such exhibitions. The

brick in TIE centre Of the city, and covers
nearly an entira square, and it is sad that

Widentnx of Cnurch Strcet.

From Mr.. Thos A. Kercheval, chairman
OF the committee from the city council to
examine into the proposed widening of
Church street, We obtain and publish the
following report;
'srhe special committee, TO whom was
referred the petition having reference to
the widening of Church street, have exam
iaed the same, and recommend that it be
granted, so far as to have the street made
wider from its intersection with Vine to
Walnut street. And that such an ordi-
nance be passed as may be necessary to
have the improvement made in
accordance with an act Of the Legis-
lature, chap. l, SEC. "a, passed in 1916
to incorporate the Nashville and Chatta
nooga Railroad, and adopted in the
amended charter Of tie city of Nashville,
Feb. q, 1856. In the opinion of the COM
mittee, it will be of great public utility and
convenience to the city TO have said street
widened as contemplated by the parties
petitioning. The committee recommend
that said Street be made twenty feet wider,
including the usual width for pavement, by
adding The space of twenty feet from and
along the south side Of said street, running
from Vine to Walnut street; and that the
damages, to whatever amount sustained, by
parties along said street, caused by such
Improvement, be assessed and levied upon
the real property or lots along and adjoining
on the north, or opposite side Of said street.
sufficient to pay all such damages as NAV
be incurred by widening the same.
"Committee further recommend that the
property owners on the opposite and adj
joining side Of said street be required to en-
ter into sufficient bond and security to
the city as will hold the same harmless nm
der all circumstances. View respectfully.
"THoS. A. KERCHEVAL,
HChairmap of Committee"
The widening of Church street will be
great improvement and one that will be ap-
preciated when the union depot is com
pleted.
