DEER PARK, Md, August l2-ln a
conversation to-llay in relation to the
cntting of rates on the trunk lines, Mr..
Garrett, President of the Baltimore and
Ohio road, said his attention had been
called to the publication of statement
of President w. ii. Vanderbilt to New
York Tribune reporter in the Tribune OF
august 10. Mr.. Garret said that as
several days had elapsed without any
correction having been made, he assumes
that President Vanderbilt accepted the
responsibility of having made the state
ment. He added that it is painfully
easy to convict President Vanderbilt OF
great lack of knowledge on the subject,
his statement in reference to the Baltl-
more and Ohio Company being absolute
ly contrary to fact. In view OF the i'm
portanc3 Of this matter. President Gar
rett has sent for the documents which
will euable him to present the case
through the press at an early day IN a
manner which will cause the public to
understand the history of the course OF

PLEURO.PNEUMONIA.
Two Cases Discovered Near New
Caatla-PrOmpt Action Needed.

DR.. w. B. Il. Miller, a well.knoWn
veterinary surgeon Of Camden, n. D., is
now making u careful examination OF
the farms around Wilmington, with a
view TO ascertaining whether there IL
pleuro-pneumonia among the cattle of
this section. He is connected with tle
State Board of Health of New Jersey,
and his business is to examine all the
cattle crossing the Jersey ferries to
Camden from Philadelphia, in order tC
prevent the spread of pleuro- pneumonia.
DR.. Miller has hal his attention di-
rected to New Castle county by a cir
cumstance which happened about four
weeks ago. He Intercepted COW in
Camden suffering from the disease
mentioned above, and had her at once
slaughtered. Tne drover said she had
been shipped from Wilmington by boat,
and DR.. Miller has been detailed to
trace the case to its source, and to thor
orghly investigate the extent of the
disease in this neighborhood, if it exists
at all.
Yesterday, in company with DR..
Robert j. Hanley, the veterinary sur
geon at 2ll King street, he went out
through New Castle Hundred, and at-
ter a careful examination, found on one
farm, cow suffering from the disease
in an advanced forIC an another in the
early stages Of the disease. These were
the only cases Of pleuro.pnueumonia
found, and DR.. Hanley says they are the
only cases he has seen in New Cassie
County this year, with one exception.
This case came to his attention early
last spring.
The doctors will continue their in
vestigation to-day. The result so far
has b en- to show that the disease is
only prevailing to limited extent.
DIR. Fowler, a veterinary surgeon of
large practice here, said to REPUBLI.
CAN reporter to-day that he has not
heard of a single case as yet.
| The fact that the disease does exist,
however, shows that prompt action
should be taken by the authorities.
Delaware has a law to prevent the
spread Of pleuro-pneumonia. 1t was
passed at the last session of the Legis-
lature, but, strange to say, has not yet
gone into operation.

AHAkRow ESCAPE.
A Man On the Kailso"d Bridge Par
Aly red with Fear.

Yesterday morning thrilling Incl
dent occurred on the railroad bridge
across the Brandywine, that will be
remembered by the party most interest
ed as long as memory shall last. A few
days since Robert Young, a stranger In
this city, came here from Pennsviile,
New jersey, in search Of work.
Yesterday morning, hearing that he
could obtain employment at Pickels
foundry across the creek, he started
about ten o'clock to cross the railroad
bridge, to sec Mr.. Pickels. Being un'
used to walking OH the narrow foot.
path, it caused his head to swim anu
when he was about half way across to
add to his terror, a heavy freight train
commenced to cross the bridge, on the
south bound track.
He stood still expecting every mo-
lnent to be precipltated into the waters
below. AT this time he heard the shrill
whistle of locomotive, and raising his
eyes he saw a passenger train on the
nor h track rapidly approaching. 49,
In vain the whistle blew, and still
vainer were the shouts Of men who saw
his danger On, on, still nearer came the
train, like some demon bent on destruc-
ton, and still theman remained station
ary, as If spell bound when suddenly
he made an effort to save himself, and
endeavoured to climb down on the sills
of the bridge, but like one in a horrible
night mare, his strength failed MN
aud he fell across the track. The mo-
melltum of the train was so great, that
although "she was shut down, anu
the breaks applied it still came on; The
The engineer turned away his head, the
man on the track gave up to die, when
suddenly the engine stopped anu the
victim was saved. He was picked up
more dead than alive, and conveyed tC
the Watchmap's house at jackson a
Sharp's, where it was some time bet 're
he recovered. The distance between
the wheels Of the locomotive and his
head, as he lay on the track was meas
ured AMI found to be exactly thirty
inches. This was unloubtedly y mos
narrow escape.

PHILADELPHIA Press SC eoial:

CAPE MAY, August 12.-Among the
visitors at Cape May is Hon. George b.
Corkhill, United States District AttOr-
ney at Washington, d. G., whose name
has been SO constantly in the papers
since the attempt on the Presidents
life and who has been SO closely ilenti-
fed with all that the people have learn
ed about Guiteau, the would-be assas-
sin, that every one here from the small
est child up has come to regard him az
the very fountain.hcad of truthful in
formation from the White House or
from tho Jail in which Guiteau is pas
sing the warm August days. Colonel
Corkill is not little annoyed by the
stupid stare and silly qucstionings of
utter strangers, and is close-mouthed
even with friends. This morning while
conversing with number of gentlemen
in the rotunda of Congress Hall, Colon
el Corkhill referred to the muttered
criticism which has once or twice been
heard regarding the solitary contine-
ment in which Guiteau is kept. He
aid that the orders for this emanated
from him alone, and were based entire
ly on desire that full justice might
be done the assassin and really for his
protection. ''There we:e," Colonel
Gorkhill continued, 1.-TWO or three or
ganizations which had sworn to kill
Guitsau on the very first opportunity
that presented. He was determined
that this opportunity should not offer
while the prisoner was in Jail and be-
fore he was tried" but added that
"there are men who have sworn that
Guiteau shall die, and beyond doubt
they will find way to kill him. Re
gardng the statement in the papers
that 10 friends had called to inquire
after or to try to see the prisoner, Col.
onel Corkhil says that tits entirely cor
rect, with the exception OF Gul5.au's
brother -in-law from Cn!cago, who hur-
riei to Washington after the ;ssassinA-
tion, nut has since manifested no i'll
ter st in uuiteaus fate Concluding
his remarks, Colonel Corkhiil laughing
ly referred to George Francis Trains
anxiety to become Guiteau's counsel
and thought they would make q good
team OF crazy men,
