PIeuro- Pneumonia in PennsyIvania


The state authorities are now Of the
opinion that they have hemmed in and
will have little or no more difficulty with
the August outbreak OF this disease near
West Chester. II will be remembered
that this outbreak was clearly traced TO
seven COWS from Baltimore, which we're
sold at public eale at West Chester.
Every herd into which these seven ami.
mails we're taken was Infected, and from
40 TO IS per cent of their number lVst
In two of the originally infected herds
the 6isea was checked without spread
to adjoining herds; but for want OF early
notice of its existence It was allowed 20
spread to adjoining herds. In one OF the
worst infected herds, after these state
officers had battled with the disease, and
fer a period of more than ,hree
months had kept the herd entirely free
from it,, the owner, in spite Of the protests
OF the officers, purchased siX more
animals, and by thus adding more fuel
soon had fresh outbreak among the
newly purchased animals, and still has
the disease on his farm. The total
amount expended in this work since the
passage of the law In 1879 (including the
amount paid for cattle killed. does not
amount to quite Is cent? to each farm in
the state. OF this amount fully DO per
cent has been paid for animals killed by
order OF the governors agent. The
smOunt of loss prevented by the work
can hardly be estimated in dollars and
cents.

Millions in Mules.

Atlanta Constitution.
Look out for the mules While the
prospect for the fall trade of Atlanta
in the ordinary mercantile depart
ments is fine, there are several speci-
alties of enterprise in the city in which
an enormous business will be trans
acted. Among these the horse and
mule trade is the largest and repre-
sents most money. Soon after the
war, Atlanta became a great stock
market by reason of its superior rail-
road advantages, its admirable posi-.
tion as distributing point for Georgia
and the surrounding states, and also
because of the enterprise of its local
stock dealers. The city has more than
held its own in this respect. Yester-
day leading livery stable and stock
yard man said: 81 anticipate a great
season in our business, a greater one
than we had last year."
Has the business fairly opened
YETI"
"No, but We have information
which points to very large proportions
for il. You see we have two seasons
for horses and mules. The horses
come in during the months of August,
September, October and November.
The mules begin to arrive in Novem-
Der, but business is not brisk until
December. 1t continues then until
April. About fourteen car loads of
horses have passed through Atlanta
in the last two or three weeks for
points south and east. Our local sup
ply is just beginning to come in"

Chattanooga Times.
Mrs. Alice L. Thompson, of At
lanta, superintendent of the press de-
partment of the Wonan's National
Christian Temperance Union, was in
the city yesterday, en- route to Wax
ahatchie, Texas. A Times reporter
had the pleasure of meeting Mrs.
Thompson while in the city. She
represents the true character of a
high-born, aristocratic southern lady
in every respect. She is brilliant
conversationalist and one is held as if
by magic by her eloquent language.
spoken in a soft, mellow voice, Mrs
Thompson is a writer of considerable
note, and the work of her pen is in
demand by publishers. During the
reporters conversation with the lady
she stated to him the object of her
visit to Texas.
Twenty years ago Mrs. Thompson
was the wife of Col. Seffels, then the
colonel of a confederate regiment in
Texas. Previous to the war he was
largely engaged in the cattle business.
When the war broke out her gallant
husband organized a regiment and en-
tered the confederate service. He
placed man named Pellon in charge
of his business at home.
The manager proved to be a man
of disreputable habits, and frequently
disposed of Col. Sefels' stock and APP
prOpriated the money for his own use.
When the latter returned home on a
furlough he at once dismissed Pellon.
The latter swOre vengeance against
Col. Seffels, and the day previous to
his return to the army he was shot
dead by Pellon, who was concealed,
before his wife's eyes. Pellou was ar
rested, but broke jail while mob was
being organized to lynch him. Mrs.
Seffels left Texas and went to Atlanta
where she married w. l.. Thompson
several years afterwards. A reward
of $4,000 was offered for Pellon by
Mrs. Seffels, but nothing was heard of
him until ten days since, when he
was captured in Western Texas.
Strange to say all the witnesses against
PellOn are still living, and with Mrs.
Thompson, will appear against him.
Pellon is now 50 years old. and since
he committed the terrible deed has
married and has four children.

Doom of the Ghetto at Rome.

Pail Mall Gazette: The Ghetto at
Rome has been doomed by an improv-
ing but impecunious municipality, and
visitors who used to wander through
the intricate maze in pursuit of old
lace, or of old bronzes, or in quest of
fragments of pillars and inscribed slabs
built into the door-posts, will find
their occupation gone. Intimately
associated as this quarter is with mem
cries of the Jews, it was not always
their home in Rome, and Paul ".
was the first Pope who removed them
across tho river from the Trastevere
into the shadow of the somber tower
of Marcellus. The same Pontiff was
notorious for his cruel treatment of the
aliens, and vigorously enforced attend
ance at the annual sermon on Holy
Cross Day, when such miraculous con-
versions were made, for reasons which
may be found in Mr.. Browning's IA
miliar stanzas.

A Well Selected Text.
Burlington Hswkeye.


A minister In Cleveland rode to
church last Sabbath on a bicycle.
As he swept up to the sacred edifce,
a large Newfoundland dog belonging
to the senior deacon came numbering
out to greet the pastor. The bicycle
struck the canine head on, under a
full head of steam, and run him
down with a shock that could be
plainly felt with the naked eye. The
reverend took a header, and damned
his high silk hat down over his ears
so tight that he had to crawl clear
through it to get out of it. The scat
tered leaves of a seven-head sermon
flew around the avenue like theologi-
cal snow storm. The dog made Rome
howl with his walls, and attracted a
crowd of 300 people. The parsons
coat was split down the back and his
trousers ripped across the knees. He
pinned up the knees, and he had to
wear a pepper and salt sackcoat the
sexton loaned him. When he ap-
peared in the pulpit in this garb the
congregation smiled, and when he
announced his text. 2 Kings xii, 6,
'But it was so the priests had
not repaired the breeches" -there
wasn't dry eye in the conventicle.

Lucky Baldwin's Wife.
Saratoga Letter to the Washington Star.


Mrs. Lucky" Baldwin is the
latest sensation at the hotel where she
stays. She is only 4 feet 6 inches in
height, but well formed and rather
pretty. She is IS years old, but
looks like girl of II, and dresses
like one. Her skirts are short and
her brown hair hangs down in two
braids tied at the ends with ribbon.
Lucky, her husband, is 81 years old,
and grandfather. The romantic
story is told that the present Mrs.
Baldwin studied architecture in San
Francisco with her father, whose pro.
fession it is. He was summoned to
appear before a building board in San
Francisco to give his views on ventila-
ton, but being too i'll to do so, his
bright young daughter prepared
the report and read it before the
board, of which Mr.. Baldwin was a
member. So successfully did she
present her plans that the wealthy
widower fell in love with the young
architect, courted her, and in due
course of time she accepted the heart
and hand of one of CALIFORNIA; most
successful spectators. They were
married about two months ago. Mrs.
Baldwin appeared at the hotel hop
Saturday night in a pretty white
muslin, trimmed with embroidery
and lace. The baby waist was con-
fined by q sash of pink ottoman rib
bon, and her long braids tied up with
pink ribbons. Bows of pink ribbon
were on each shoulder. Around her
head was a wreath of maiden hair fern
studded with tuberoses and pink buds.
She looked the embodiment of the
ideal "childish simplicity" so seldom
