THE CATTLE DISEASE.

The Trouble Between Missouri And Ti-
nOis Regarding 1t.
CHICAGO, May 4.-Dr. A. 81. Pearson, q
State Veterinarian, who has Just returned
from interior points in the State, says his
efforts to stamp out contagious pleuro
pneumonia are attended with many difficult
ties on account Of the indisposition Of the
local authorities in many cases to lend as
sistsnce BY State authorities. The desire
of the Governor of Missouri in regard to
co-habitation with this State in the matter
of inspection, he declares, has caused great
delay in the shipment Of cattle north, and
many thousands are now awaiting ship
ment from st. Louis. The st. Louis Bridge
Company declines to ship any until certi-
fcate of health is shown. The
amounts of the transportation companys
had conference with the Governor and
State Veterinarian OF Illinois last week that
resulted in the adoption ofa form oSa cert.
fcate to be put in use that will hereafter
greatly facilitate the movement Of cattle.
The State Veterinarian Of Missouri has been
notified that the State of Illinois will accept
the statement Of any competent yeterina-
rian he may select to inspect cattle at points
of transfer with the certificate of the veteri-
marian or affidavit that the cattle do not
come from an infected district and have not
been near such district for 8 period Of ten
days. Now that these details have been
perfected DR.. Pearson spprehends no further
trouble and thinks everything will go smooth
ly between the two States.

STRIKERS SHOT.
An Engagement Between the Troous
and Strikers,
IN WHICH TWO STRIKERS ARE KILLED
And Several More Wounded---A Detailed
Account Of the
Fight
AVERY SERIOUS STATE OF AFFAIRS.

CHICAGO, May 4.-Sherif' Hsnchell, oi
this city, has just received word from Le-
mont that q collision occurred between the
troops and striking quarrymen in that town
this morning and that two of the strikers
were killed. Two companies OF the State
troops went to Lemont this morning to
guard the quarymen there, and to enable
the non-striking men to resume work. No
details have yet been received. The action
OF the Sheriff of Will county in releasing the
seventy strikers captured BY the troops near
Joliet last Saturday and who came from Lee
mont, is assigned as one of the causes for
the present outbreak.
Three companies Of State troops from
Joliet left for Lemont and disembarked al
the Excelsior stone quarry, two miles south
of Lemont. They were there advised that
the strikers in large numbers had made an
assault upon men loading canal boat with
stone one mile north of Lemont. Proceed
ing to that point, a collision between the
troops and strikers occurred there a little
before noon.
Another dispatch says news was received
at the sheriff's office at ll:30 that COLI.
sion had taken place between the strikers
and the militia at Lemont. The troops
fired, killing two men, whose names are not
given. AT an early hour this morning some
200 Of the strikers made q circuit Of the
boarding houses and compelled the men
whom they supposed would resume work to
fall in line. At IL o'clock not less than
1000 men we're N and around the Lemont
uuarries. About the same hour two compa-
MES OF militia from Joliet arrived and the
encounter occurred soon after. The ex-
citement here consequent upon the reported
encounter is at fever heat.

An ALARMING FIRE RECORD.
The Fire Loss for April Estimated at

The Fire Loss for April Estimated at
S7,75O,OOO.
NV YoEE, May 4.-The Daily CONNER
cial Bulletin of May estimates the aggre-
gate loss by fire in the United States and
Canada, in April, at 81, 1000, and for the
iour months Of this year al S35, ,25O,OOO.
This is at the rate of over $lOj,OOO,O 900 for
the year. The Bulletin gives list. of 1876
fires in April, where the reported
loss ranged from $4,000 upwards, in
cluding thirteen fires which alone destroyed
property valued at Sl,S50,000, or nearly
one.fouith of the months entire fire waste.
As the average fire loss in April for ten
years past has been less than five million
dollars, it will easily be seen, the Bulletin
saws, that this scourge Of FIRE has fastened
itself upon the country to degree which
is out of proportion to the increased value
of property and is becoming alarming
enough 10 demand the attention Of ell prop
eriy owners.

ANOTHER HOOKING VALLEY
Strike Inaugurated in the ConnottOn Obi
District.

Strike Inaugurated in the Connotton Ohio
District.
Canton, o., May "A strike Of 260
miners along the line OF the Valley railroad
in the Connection district, is the beginning
Of mining trouble which it is feared will re-
rult in the strike Of 5000 miners in the
Connotton and Tusearawas valley districts.
The rate Of 50 cents per ton in the Hook
ing Valley, established after the terrible
strike there, has enabled operators TO put
coal into Cleveland and other northern
Ohio markets at rates which Tuscarawas
and Connotton operators cannot compete
with when they pay 10 cents per ton
which has been the prevailing rate,
consequently they gave notice of cut to %
cents ton. At convention recently held,
President Mcbride, it is said advised the
miners to accept, but no action was taken,
and on Saturday the 260 miners referred to
refused to work for less than the old rate.
Operators here say that hey will not only
insist upon reduction, but If the men
strike will not let them go in except at the
same rates as in the Hooking Valley-55
cents a ton. In that event the strike may
be expected to be long, protracted and ex-
ceeGingly bitter.

to-day. The building was crowded when
the royal party appeared, and though the
Prince Was not cheered, he was received with
enthusiasm manifested in the looks and
tones of the multitude which thronged the
building on the occasion. The most ex-
tensive exhibits are those of implements OF
war, and owing TO the condition OF Europe
at this time, they were naturally the center
Of attraction. The exhibits, however, are

to these are lhe displays OF appliances for

assigned to American inventors was not
more tban ole third filed, the work Of Brit

apparent smallness of the American ex-
hibit is accounted for by the fact that Amer
lean specimens are scattered through the

burg, called at police headquarters and
stated that he and the deceased were en-
gagged in the business of peddling lemons,
and that at 9 o'clock last Thursday morning
Phiippo left the house, at No. Is Tilden
avenue, where the brothers lived, for the
ostensible purpose Of finding a market In
some suburban town for his lemons. That
was the last seen of the dead man by his
friends. francesca says that when his brother
lett the house he had between $500 and
5000 in his possession besides the draft
found in his pocket. Whoever killed the
unfortunate man did the work very ex-
pedious, for bis body was packed IN the
trunk and checked at the Union depot at
l:3O o'clock. Just two and half hours
after he left home. Andrew Russo was
locked up at the Desplaines street station
on suspicion of being implicated in the
crime. He has told so many conflicting
stories about the matter that the officers are
inclined to think he is the murderers. When
first arrested Russo admitted that he
knew Philippe Caruso but denied acquaint-
With his relatives. Yesterday francesca,
the brother, was confronted with the pris-
oner and recognized him as acquaintance
The officers in charge of the case have in
formation which lead them to believe that
the trunk in which the body was shipped
was bought at store near the home of the
brothers, The police are now looking for
the three Italians who live on the upper
floor of No. 95 Tilden avenue, the home
of the Carusos. These three men
knew that Philippe had money in his
possession and some suspicion attaches to
hem from the fact that they vacated their
quarters last Monday At late hour last
night the police had not found any of the
three persons indicated. Officer Mcdonald
