CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-Messrs. Keep and
Hughitt, of the Northwestern, returned to
Chicago yesterday. Mr.. Keep said that no
consolidation of the Northwestern with
the Chicago, st. Paul. Minneapolis & Oma-
ha road was contemplated. The two roads
would probably run in close connection,
but each would maintain separate organ
ization. Mr.. Hughitt, president of the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
road, said that no consolidation would take
place at present. The Omaha road would
maintain separate organization and the
officers now in charge of the various de-
partments of that road would be contin-
ued. The road would continue to pay its
dividends as usual. Mr.. Hughitt did not
care to outline his policy in reference
to the Omaha road, but it is
understood that while the war is settled
certain important moves are in the wind.
About two months ago the Rock Island
rond concluded contract with the Omaha
road whereby the Rock Island secured en-
trance into st. Paul over the tracks of the
Omaha road from Merriam Junction, thus
saving several hours and many miles on
st. Paul business. This contract, however,
was made terminable thirty years after
notice, which it is understood has already
been given. This is, however, not the only
way whereby the Northwestern will be
able to square itself with its foes by wisely
using the leverage acquired in fAe control
of the Chicago, st. Paul, MiAheapoiis &
Omaha road. The Illinois Central has
been using portion of this road from
Sioux City to Omaha in making cut from
Omaha to Chicago. The Illinois Central
has contract with the Omaha road. and
at its expiration it is considered that the
Illinois Central will cease from troubling
the Northwestern, Moreover, the Rock
Island uses a portion of the Omaha road
in billing freight through to Sioux City
and points beyond Worthington. MI.
Hughitt did not state what hispolicyon this
matter would be. but as the Northwestern
is not in the habit of leasing portions of
its lines to competitors for competitive
purposes, it is considered that there is a
good prospect of the Rock Island with
drawing certain of its Northwestern tariffs.

How 10 Treat Cattle when Amieted
with The Disease.

How 10 Treat Cattle when Ahicted
with The Disease.
WASHINGTON, October 4.-The department
of agriculture publishes special report OF
the dissemination of Texas fever among
cattle and how to control it. This includes
a report by DR.. W. E. B. Miller. veteran
ary surgeon, on cases he investigated in
Ohio and West Virginia. The former were
introduced by cattle from southwestern
Missouri, known as Cherokee cattle, and
the latter by cattle from Alabama. Dr
Miller is convinced that the disease is both
contagious and infectious. The other re-
port is from DR.. Z. Salmon, OF Asheyille,
Y. c., discussing the nature Of the disease
and the means OF preve nuon. Dr.
salmon Saws the infected southern
cattle NAV be separated only by board
fence. or even occupy the same stable
with native cattle and not communicate
the disease. On the other hand, II the ha-
tiyes are placed on the ground or even
roadway to which infected cattle had access
within two, four, or even six months, they
NAV take the disease in its most ylrulent
form. Sick natives never convey the as
ease TO other cattle. As to preventive
means, DR.. Salmon says IL - uhReosVno
Die and unjust to compel the owner OF the
southern cattle to do more than Keep these
animals securely fenced upon the injected
nasture until q killing frost, ana TO o9ry

DAYToS, October 4.-There is an old man
by the name of Patterson living in this
city, who for years has lived in seclusion,
in q little hovel so neglected and weather
worn that 1t is surprising that it

any person to enter his domain, nor to
hold intercourse with anybody, any more
than was necessary to buy few cents worth
OF something to eat. For more than q week
past there has been no signs OF life about
the place, and to-day an officer, accom-
panied BY reporter, investigated the
cause. They found the hovel so filthy that
it was actually sickening. The fumes
which came from the room wherein the
old man was found were almost unbearable.
The lord OF this disgusting place was found
seated before cracked and rusty stove,
which contained few dying embers OF
twigs and leaves. The man sat with his
feet bare and dirty, resting on the stove,
and his head hanging forward on his chest
He had no clothing on but O shirt, evi.

the late changes in the stock market have
been with three objects in view. First the
acquisition OF control OF Metropolitan

OF closer relations between the Chesapeak

through Huntingtons influence in the
management OF the latter company; and
third, the adjustment of relations between
the Union Pacific and Central Pacific COM
pany. The actual gross earnings OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio for August were
1891 ,454, an increase of $4,000 over the
estimate. Net earnings $l72,Sii, or IS per
