who has laboTed very earnestly to prevent
the apread Of the contagious pleuro paeu-
monia among the cattle tf this State re-
ports that in his opinion the ravsgss Of
the infection lhave bsen stayed, and he
hopes DOW to eorfue 1t 10 its present
boundaries. The last outbreak in new
quarters is upon the farm Of John Boyd,
near the Psaotiosl Farmer, the disease in
this case being traessble to cattle belong
ing to George Bigger, that were
boarded on the place. 0ne OF the In
fsc.ed animals was killed yesterday week,
and post mortem discovered the disease
in an advanced stage. The herd has
been placed in quarantine. The other
herds under quarantine restrictions are
those Of George White, George Baker, the
Lobdell Car Wheel Company, John
Banks and George Bigger, all within
short distance from this city, and the
dAiries Of Nicholas Garrett, near the
Ch, ster county line, and J, A. CleAver Of
st. Georges.
DR.. Rowland has irvestigAt d the re
ported osses OF the plse ne in the vicinity
of Odessa and IS. GsOrEes, and 6nds that
there is no disease existing there, the
silment Of the sick stock inSI eosed being

in the main to inocula.ion, and in all the
cases where 1t was Tesorted to the desired

leaving the cattle invulnersble against
the disease. The infeoticn has been

prove the interesting taot that II spilled

Since being commissioned as stste vet
srinsriAn DR.. Rowland has killed 36
cows. Post mortem examinations were
held In every instance, ali Of which fully
confirmed the diognesis as to the siiment
made by the veterinarian.
Gov. Stockley, who has taken 81. .aotive
and very earnest interest in the States
lighting the contAgion, is greatly pleased
with the progress his officials have made
In the work. He regrets very much that
the Legislature curtailed the allowance
for the officers to such figure as to make
The existing laws practically imperative

snforoe them. But he has hopes that the
Legislature may yet take such action as
will be of practical assistance in
stAmpi Ig out entirely the disease. The
money thus far required to carry on the
work In view OF the excellent results
attained he regards as one Of the most
expenditures the State has
made.

ought to bs appointed. he stated this
conclusion to two OF his friends who
called to see him, but they informed him
that, in their opinion, the appointment
would not be Q good one, and should
not be made. He thereupon showed
them the papers signed by such
a large number Of leading cistzsns, and
said he did mot see how he ceuld ignore

action for two days, in order that they
might present paper TO him, and went

returned, bringing another petition

FUNERAL PREPARATIONS.

Sunday morning opened out some
what dull. There had been consider
able rain in the valleys, as cvinced
by the swollen streams. The pre-
parations for the funeral were car
red on under the supervision of
Mr.. w. G. Parke, who has had
charge of all the important funerals
for the past thirty years. Every
thing was in readiness by Saturday
evening. Towards noon the clouds
became heavy, and it commenced to
rain, pouring down in torrents all
the afternoon, evening, and through
the night. Shortly after noon the
church was we'll filled with those who
had come to witness the last sad
rites. At one O'Clock it was decided
that two guns would be fired from
the shore battery if the funeral was
to be postponed. About half-past
one O'Clock the rain came down still
heavier, and it was at once apparent
that the funeral would not take
place that afternoon. At 2 O'Clock
Major Purvis, the Vice Chamberlain,
arrived at the church from the palace
and informed the Hon. John Cum
mings that the obsequies had been
postponed. The latter, who is mar
shall of the funeral procession, then
