The EplzooTY-THe Disease APpearS
IN Whee',ag.-Three years ago the cpl
zooLic pest caused considerable loss to
the Street Railway company, and n
great Inconvenience to the travelling pub
lie. Now, again the stables Of the Citi-
IONS Rail way Company resound with
the wh,cMng and sncezIng Of infected
cqunes. The first symptoms in this
city, were observed yesterday morning
in the street car stables and at Luke's
and Huseman's livery stables, when the
dry hacking in the throat set hostlers to
connecting their epizootic nostrums. The
nature Of the pest is far from being so
violent as that of 1872; nor has it yet
attacked one.ffLn as many horses.
Those who are versed in horsehesh
believe that the present attack will not
acquire the virulency of the former.
Twenty horses in the street ear stables
are affected; Fred Huscman mas l"eI'e
pro.uated, and Robert Luke has some
sick. The street cars were not running
Yesterday afternoon or evening IN con-
sequence of the disease. No horses have
yet been affected at the Island stables
The features Of the disease, as stated
by persons who ought to know are, hrst,
swelling and inflammation Of the Sutterai
passages, which prevents sufficient cat
ing and drinking, and lasts three or four
days IN the least stubborn cases. In
some stables hn"ment compound

glands Of the neck about the throat. The
main object is to reduce the internal
swelling, which i. followed by mucous
nasal discharges. Recovery comes soon

1t is our sad duty this morning 10
chronicle the accidental drowning of
Mr.. August Roettger, of Elm Grove,
Yesterday, while performing his
additions At the edge OF the
creek near his residence
About o'clock Sunday morning, Mr.
Rocttger complained Of MS feet and told
the family he would go down to the creek
and battle them. Not coming home to
dinner they became uneasy about HIM,
because of him saying he IN
tended going TO the creek,
and at once instituted search. On reach
INC the creek bank, just in the rear Of
the stable, some one found his slipper, II
sock and knife on rock, and surmSlng
the awful calamity which had happened,
sounded tho alarm. In Il few mo-
ments their worst Tears Were
realized by seeing the body Of Mr..
Raettger floating in shallow water some
sixty feet below the rock where it is sup
posed he had fallen in, with his back
upl ermost. His body was moved to
shore and Drs. Storer and Cracraft and the
Coroner, Squire Thornburg, were
sent for. Upon the arriva!
ofthe Coroner, ajury was cmpanneled and

eating that life had been extinct several

he did not aid in some practical way
He was popular with all who knew him.

A correspondent of the Titusyille. p,

A correspondent of the Titusville, Pa,
Herald thus describes miniature Oil
Farm which is being constructed in
Meadville, Pa: I" Mr.. Thorne has spent
two years in hard toll ON his machine
and is now putting on the finishing touch
es. The scene represents Oildom in all
its bearings, drilling and pumping wells,
drawing tools, re dnery with all the
connected buildings, coal bank, which
though not properly a characteristic OF
the Oil Region, is frequ emily seen, two
boats about fifteen inches long, which
occupied as much time in their con-
struction as any OF the other wonders on
exhibition, and train of cars in con-
stant motion. These are some of the
principal objects that would strike per-
son forcibly, at first sight, but by no
means all. On close examination, the
mind is impressed by the small, though
perfect engines, and machinery, an en-
gine only three inches long, has all the
parts so constructed that they work with
facility. The whole is made OF wood
only, except the tacks and such other
necessary pieces OF metal used for fast
ening together the larger pieces ofwood."
