Spinal Meningitis" Among Horses.

Hartford (Conn.) Times.
There are said to be thirty dead
horses lying on the bank of the Connec-
ticut river, mile or two below the
city. They are victims of spinal men,
nights. Until a recent time it doesn't
seem to have been known that this
disease, so serious and difficult to cure
in the human subject, could also attack
horses. 1t seems it can, and several
horses have fallen while being driven
in the street, so suddenly does the dis
order manifest itself in full force. At
Woolley's stables, Main street, several
cases have occurred, and some are now
under treatment so of some other
stables thereabout. Only few stables,
as yet, appear to have it. The disease
attacks the horses of private owners as
we'll as those of the livery stables The
horse, if unsupported, sinks down help
less and cannot move. At Woolley's
they had strong framework to hold up
the horses that were affected. The
stables of the Hartford and Wethers-
field Horse Railroad Company are some
what affected. The main treatment
seems to be 10 give physic balls and
mustard plaster, and blanket the horses.
Only few die. The rest come out of
it all right.

A WAR CORRESPONDENTS MARTFL-
Gus 1CHIECEMENT,

The publication of the details of the
battle at Spitzkop between the Beers
and the English was one of the most
marvellous feats of newspaper and tcle-
graph enterprise ever known. The
London Standard sent Mr.. Cameron,
the hardy, resolutc, fearless African cx-
plorer, with the British advance to re-
port its operations. He accompanied it
in it's difficult march to the summit of
the fatal height. When the Beers made
that gallant charge in the face Of the
English bayonets, about which they
Drag SO much, and poured over into the
basin, from which they drove the Eu-
glish like sheep, Mr.. Cameron was
knocked down, run over, trampled upon
and captured. He showed his news
paper credentials and notebook, and,
having established his professional
identity, was requested to act As a flag
of-truce bearer to enable the English IL
take care of their wounded. He reached
the British camp that night and wrote
his dispatch Of about 300 words. That
dispatch was put upon the army field
wires and reached the coast. Hence i
travelled up the east coast of Africa
over 5000 miles, and tapped the Eas
Indian wires in the Gulf of Alden, Thence
on the bottom of the Red sea, anothc
1000 or 5000 miles, to the Meditcr
ranean, thence on the bottom Of tn
Mediterranean to Italy, thence through
Italy and over the Alps and through
France and across the British channe
to London. Not stopping there, it goc
to Valentia, on the west coast of Ire
land, and speeds across the Atlantic t
Newfoundland, thence to New York, an
