gored- in the groin by an infuriated steer, while
assisting to load cattle On to tbs Allan ste amer
Austrian Tuesday. The steer was driven
through the fence in the passageway, bat
reaching the hatchway laid down and could
not be made to go any farther. The passage
way behind was blocked up by the cattle, and
all that could be done was to tear down the
fence aud roll the refractory animal to the
deck of the steamer. Arriving there he sprang
up on his feet, and made for the crowd, which
dispersed in all directions. All got safely
away with the exception of Kellogg, who was
very seriously injured.

PLEURO-PNEUNIONIA.
Dr. Salmon Fea rfuI that the Disease
Has Been Widely Scattered.

Has Been Widely Scattered.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Dr. Salmon,
Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry,
has submitted a report to the Commits
siOner of Agriculture relative to his in
vestigation Of pleuro-pneumonia among
cattle in Illinois. He has found g cases
in the vicinity of Chicago, , cases near
Startling, 4 cases near Peoria, 1 case near
springfield, cases near Virginia, and 1
near Jacksonville. A number of the re-
ported cases have not yet been traced.
DR.. Salmon further SAYS:
1t Is impossible for me to get experienced
men 70 assist me without taking them away
from my work in New York and Brooklyn,
and this do not want TO do until l see that it
Is absolutely necessary. Men who have had
no experience with pleurO- pneumonia would
he useless. Illinois has good laws, and the
state Veterinarian and Governor will issue a
proclamation on the subject, and direct the
isolation Of infected herds and the slaughter
Of diseased animals. / shall soon direct my
at entiOn to other states. Iowa, Missouri and
Kentucky have received animals from infected
herds. telegraphed the Governor of Ken
tucky few days ago in regard to animals
that went there. We have not been able
70 decide which of the animals were
brought into Virginia for sale but
one that came from Mr.. Dye. of Ohio, was
sick with Inflammation of the lungs, supposed
at the time to have b zen the result of eX-
posure. This is the most likely origin of the
disease and II the suspicion proves correct it
makes the matter still more serious. Mr.. DYE
Is the most extensive speculatOr in jersey
cows IN the country and has sent cattle into
nearly every herd in the West. If his herd is
infected the disease must have been spread to
nearly every State in the Union. | shall in
vcstIgdte this matter as soon as possible, and
II the Infection traces TO Ohio shall move
all my-men that viii come. / should
cOnslde6-&lIs a last resort. In the meantime
/ shall indulge in the hope that this will not
prove true, 1 will say positively that this
disease Is neither the result of scrOfula nor of
exposure to inclemeut weather, or like causes.
lt Is contagious spleurO-pueumOnia, and / am
just as certain OF it as l am that such dis
ease exists.
Acting Commissioner CaTman has refused
the request of an Alabama cattle firm to i'm
port a number Of jersey cattle for exhibition
