CATTLE GROWERS CONVENTION.
Objects of the Men now in Session at Fort
Worth

Worth
The Stockmen's convention is in session AT
Fort Worth, having convened yesterday morn
ing. 1t is thought that before the proceedings
are finished the gathering will be the largest OF
rancherOs and others interested in the growth
of live stock ever held, and that at least 5OO
delegates who are actual shippers or growers
will be in attendance. Additional interest is
lent to the meeting of the presence of numer-
GUS buyers from Chicago, ST. Louis and Kansas
City, with whom contracts may be closed for the
seasons shipments.
One of the chief subjects to be discussed at
the convention is the prevalence of pleuro-
pneumonia in the East, on account OF which
the British Government prohibited the impor-
tation of American cattle. The disease, ac-
cordng to the report of the Cattle commits
sion appointed by Congress, can only be Grad
icated in this country by Strengthening all the
cattle affected, the estimated value of which is
S2,000,0O0. As the controlling spirits OF the
convention believe the eradication Of the dis
ease will increase the demand for cattle and
the value, they will urge the adoption of a res
"lutiOn requesting the Government to appro-
pirate the sum mentioned to reimburse the
owners of the stock the destruction of which
is contemplated. Ii is also thought that Con-
gress will be requested to enact several strin-
gent laws for the protection of cattle growers
interests.

Katie Putnam.

The "Danbury News Man" and Katie Put
nam.
DEAR SIR: | chcerfuly comply with your
request for my opinion Of the artistic merits
of Miss Katie Putnam. | can say, as II is so
evident to all, that her acting Is artistic
without being unnatural; rOlliCking without
being offensive: sentimental without mawkish-
ness.
She is ObServant of human nature, faithful
to every detail, and going into the piece with a
true conception of the character, she combines
every excellence, and achieves a remarkable
success.
In the dual character of Little Nell and the
baruuarscarum Warehouses she brings her best
qualities into play, and demonstrates
beyond cavil that her genius is of the highest
order.
Everybody in Danbury who saw Miss Put
nam at the Opera House was delighted with
her and already we are looking forward to
her return | know of no actress who has
given the satisfaction and pleasure Miss
Putnam did on her visit here.
Yours sincerely,

News was received tonight in this
place of the burning to death of Mrs. Mary

we'll known farmer residing eight miles
north of here. As near as could be Learned
the particulars of the affair are as follows
The lady, it appears, was sitting rocking
and knitting by the ERE, when in some
manner her clothing became ignited. Re-
alising her danger, and being unable to
suhdue the flames by herself, she hastily
ran to where party Of men were employed
in feeding cattle, but ere reaching that
point every particle of her clothing was
consumed, and the Mortified men could
emily convey the charred and shriveled
body of the dying woman to her residence,
where death soon ended her misery. The
unfortunate occurrence is deeply deplored
BY the friends of Mrs. Henderson, and her
bereaved relatives have the sympathy of
the community.
