CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-The National Con-
| vention of Stockmen, called to take action
10 stamp out contagious disease among
live stock, reassembled this morning,
Senator Williams Of Kentucky presiding.
Two hundred delegates we're present. A
committee was appointed to outline . plan
| OF action, and submitted . series Of reso-
lutions which, after being variously
amended, were read az follows:
Whereas, The extent Of contagious
pleuro-pneumonia in certain portions OF .
| few States on the Atlantic seaboard, intro
| duced from time to time by the importa-
ton of live stock from foreign countries,
| constantly threatens to spread the conts-
gion to the Southern and Western States
and Territories; that the disease is of such
a character that legislation on the part OF
Congress to eradicate the disease in the
| infected districts is imperatively de-
manded; that should the great ranges OF
the West become infected with the disease
it would be impossible to stamp out the
plague, except by the total destruction Of
the herds, at o cost OF hundrS . OF mil
lions of dollars; therefore, be it

authorities the imperative necessity Of the
thorough inspection OF all live stock and
meat products shipped to foreign coun-
tries.

| Of the Secretary of the Treasury in en-
forcing the quarantine against all import
ed cattle, and decided to petition Con-
| gress to confer authority on the Treasury
Department by which the quarantine

swine and goats. The convention decid-
ed to appoint Q committee of one from
each State, which is to memorable Con-
gress, and show the loss and damage to
America by reason of foreign restrictions
against American meat productions. and
suggest such legislation IS may tend to
remove the prejudice.
The convention is stated to have been
the most representative one of stockmen
ever held in this country.
Adjourned sine die.
A Broken Engagement.
NEW York, Nov. 15.-The Worlds Lon
don correspondent says Clinton Winans,
member Of an American family. has been
made the subject Of . grave and scandal
Gus accusation. which just now is q social
sensation. A Mrs. Miller, mother OF a
beautiful young child, being accepted in
very respectable society as . widow, won
the affections Of Mr.. Jay, and he engaged
himself to be married to her. A short
time before the date set for the nuptials,
Mr.. Jay suddenly broke off the engage
ment and refused to make any explana-
tions. Mrs. Miller sued him for breach of
promise, laying claim to heavy damages.
The case is nov proceeding. and the start
ling defense put in by defendant is the
cause Of the present sensation. Mr.. Jay
says he broke off the engagement because
he ascertsined that Mrs. Miller was not q
widow; that her child was born in we'd
lock, and that her assumption Of widow
hood was a false pretense to cover the
child's illegitimacy. Being closely pressed
during cross-exsmination by defendants
counsel, Mrs. Miller admitted that the
child was born in unlawful wedlock, and
stated that it was born while she had held
the relation of mistress to Clinton Winans,
who was its father.
