Killed by she Cars.

SUDDEN DEATH OF DELAWARE Il. B. BRAKEMAN.
Az the mixed train on the Delaware R. r. WAS
coming north, on Saturday evening, it parted
coupling midway OF the train and thereby, it 10
supposed, caused tho death Of John Russell, the
head brAkesmAn on the train. The accident oc
CURED about one mile south Of the canal.
The precise manner Of Russells death Ii not
known. The presumption is that he was In the
act Of stepping from one car to the other Just ~
the coupling broke and was precipitated to the
track, a. his skull Was crushed. He was not run
over by the cars, however, but his clothing In
some manner caught in the tracks, and he was
dragged several yards along the track, lacera-
ting one arm somewhat Death is supposed to
have been instantaneous. 1t WAS not known
that he was killed until the parting Of the train
was discovered further up the road, and whom
he was not to be found upon any Of the cars the
train was backed and his dead body picked up.
The last seen Of him alive was Ut Mt. Pleasant,
when he sigualled for the train to move on.
Coroner Winslow held an inquest yesterday,
and verdict was rendered in accordance with
the above facts.
Russell was . young man, unmarried, and
boarded in this city. He formerly resided with
his parents near North East, In Cecil county
They subsequently removed to New Jersey.

The Cattle Plaque.

SEVERAL. DEATHS NEAR THE CITY DURING THE PAST
wEEK-A THEORY OF THE DIaKAsE, AND HOW TT
AFFECTS THE CATTLE
Within the past week, Capt. William Thatcher
who resides In the Ninth Ward, las lost no less
than seven native COWS from the new cattle dis
ease, and John Almond, who lives in the same
vicinity, has lost three In every instance the
COWS died within 48 hours after being attacked,
and the Captain says that the moro he doctored
them the worse they seemed TO grow. After
death dissection Of one Of the COWS was made
BY DR.. Shortlidge, who found the bladder full Of
blood and dark water, the kidneys swollen and
all the vital organs more or Less affected.
When the cattle began TO die 90 rapidly, Mr..
Thatcher dispatched his tenant to Chester to
consult with Mr.. Booth who Ia somewhat Of .
veterinary SURGEON. His theory Of the disease Is
that it spreads from Western cattle witch are
shipped east In . diseased condition from the
ticks which cover them "a with . scab, produc.
ing fever and death. The fever he believes to
be contagious and capable Of being transmitted
to our native stock. The death Of the cattle
above spoken Of would seem to Indicate that
such thing 10 possible.
Captain Thatcher says that the first indics-
ton Of tho disease in the male cattle may be
observed In the dark disooloration Of the urine.
In the cows It first inanifests itself by Z falling
OF in the usual quantity Of milk, a subse-
qnent dropping, refusal to eat and then death
enstles.

A JUVENILE SMOKING AND CHEWING CIRCLE, AND
WHAT CANE OF 1T.
On Saturday evening, after dark, \ half doz-
on or more boys, ranging In age from six to
twelve years, might have been seen sitting in =
circle on the wet ground at Seventh and Madison
streets, learning to smoke cigars, and chew TO-
bscco. or course all the ''oId sogers Of cigars
and dilapidated guilds had been raked up for the
occasion, and the boys were having good time.
The "best man" was the one who could smoke
the longest, chew the most, and squirt Juice the
farthest to say nothing a. to who could use the
most disgusting and profane language.
No doubt, some Of the parents Of these chill
dren were pleased that the ''dear little limo
cents" had found . way to relieve the tedium
Of the passing hours. We do not know that any
thing serious occurred to any OF the boys upon
that particular occasion, except the injury to
general character, morals, and health, but We
We do know that on Sunday fore
noon lad from the same neigbor-
hood retired to . carpenter shop, on . vacant
lot near by, where he expected to have unres.
trained liberty in learning to use tobacco. Max
ing too free with this liberty, he consumed x
much that he fell over Ia an insensible condi
ton, his face turning purple and the blood refus
| ing o regular circulation. In this condition, III
wss carried home, where consciousness by the
aid Of restoratves returned again.

The Iron BasAmoos.

At Pittsburgh out Of eleven furnaces there
five are not in blast Ofthe iron mills all ex
cspt Superior Mills are actively at work and 1t Z
profit to warrant their continuance. Orders
were offered about the Let OF July, enough 10
keep them running for six months, which were
not accepted At the figures proposed. Current
orders are sufficiently numerous to admit OF their
running oonsecudvely, and 1t small, but fair
profit. The first six months Of the present year
was marked by a. large trade "a the name pc
Rod Of last ysar,-this representing larger
amount Of iron sold, being the same in money
return. Tho iron manufacturers are not max
ing the large profits Of former Year,, but sre
now making enough to warrant aotivc trade.
Such, In brief, 10 tile situation. There was q
rumor current. = few weeks since, that the mills
would close up in few weeks, bnt this Ia sta
ted not 70 be tho fact, and that, on the contrary
orders are increasing, and prices are improving
rather than declining.
