A MISSING ESTATE.
The Heirs Of Wealthy Old Bachelor Unable
to Find His Property.

The records in the land department Of the
State Auditors Office are being searched for come
trace of missing estate left by a wealthy old
bachelor who resided in Indiana for many years.
The case is one of an extraordinary
character. In 1925 Abraham Snyder, a
young farmer whose home was in Penn
sylvania, came to Indiana and located
in the Southern part of the State, whore he en-
gagged in the cattle business on rather an sx
tensve scale, and, in the course of years of sue
cessful operations acquired considerable land.
When the western fever was raging in Indi-
ana fifteen or twenty years ago, however, he as
readily became of its victims as ne had back
in Pennsylvania in his early life, and he went to
Texas, where, in few years. he became
a cattle king His relatives in Pennsylvania
heard from him only often enough to be re-
it was supposed that he was quite wealthy, very
little was ever learned from him regarding his
financial affairs. Several years ago he died,
leaving no will and no inventory of his posses
left vast estate, and they are
searching for it. From information which
has come into their possession, they are led to
believe that he owned great deal of land in
Indiana at the time of his death, but they are
unable to find any trace of it, although attorneys
have been searching the land records in some of
the southern Indiana counties for three weeks
1t is known positively that he once owned real
estate in the State, but nowhere can
any record of this be found, and
there is, in consequence some reason for sus-
pecting that there has been some fraud COM
mitted by persons having knowledge of the old
mans business affairs. A singular feature of the
case is. that the heirs do not know definitely in
what county Snyder lived during his residence
in this State, or into what counties his business
operations extended; but it is supposed he re-
sided in the southwestern section of the State
somewhere near Evansville.

THE NEW W0RK-HOUSE.
The County Commissioners Are Fully Sat-
iSfied with the Experiment.

The County Commissioners satisfied with
the work house experiment, and are assured
that the institution will pay its own way. Said
Commissioner Clinton, yesterday: 'There are
about fifty inmates in the place, and we have
close estimates that with sixty we need not fear
about the financial result"
do you see any improvement in the conduct
of the prisonersp'
II should say so. They are brought down to
strict discipline. Some were inclined to be I'M
ruly at first, but it did not take long to make
them submit to the rules. There is no fun for
them in the work-house Two have already had
an experience with the dungeon. 1t had q
salutary effect. The women were inclined to
insist on the privileges they had in the old COOP
at the Jail, bnt work at the wash tabs and
in the sewing rooms has taken all
of the devitry out of them. Had you seen them
in Jail before they went to the work house you
would not take them TO be the same persons"
How about shaving the heads of short-t time
prisoners?'
That is all nonsense. We put each prisoner
Into the bath, Gu. his hair, and give him prison
suit After this many cleaner and better
looking than they have been for years We 90
not shave the boards. Yes, sir the work house
is good institution. and l do not regret by any
means the part have taken in having it built
In a few days We will give the public the exac,
cost of the building and improvements.

FARMERS1 COLUMN.
How Cattle are Quarantined.

THE STATION AT GARFIELD, BERGEN
t|rI.. co., n. j. ... ...s.
Tile laws of the United States prohibit
'the Importation of neat cattle, and the
hides of neat cattle, from any foreign
country intothe United States, provided,
however, that this prohibition may be
suspended by the Secretary of the
Treasury, under certain conditions.
These conditions are, that all cattle
coming from any part of the world,
except North and South America, shall
be subject to a quarantine of ninety
days. TO this end, cattle quarantine
stations have been established. That
at Garfield, n. j., is the most important
and is arranged for six hundred and
fifty head, though capable of accommo-
dating a good many more.
The grounds are pleasantly situated
on the banks of the Passaic River, about
fifteen miles from New York, on that
prat of the New York, Lake Eric and
Western (more generally called the Erie
railroad, known as the Bergen County
shortcut. There are about forty acres
of land, through which flows a living
stream, which, near the residence OF
the veterinary surgeon in charge, widens
out into an attractive pond, which is
besides fed by springs in its bottom, 1t
was an old farm, with an excellent
stone-house and good barns. ice house,
and other out-buildings, (which are still
preserved, as are the fruit orchards and
shade trees, SO far as possible.
The Treasury Department authorities
put the place in order, erected plain but
neat byres of different sizes, for the
accommodation of large or small herds;
placed driven wells, laid out paddocks
around each byre, in which the cattle
can take air and exercise without com
ing in contact with other. They are
open and well ventilated, and at the
same time may be made snug and close
for winter. The accommodations here
are sufficient for twenty or more dis.
tinct importations. About year ago,
the Treasury Department transferred
the management of the Quarantine
System to the Department of Agricul-
turc, by which it is now conducted.
The owner of the cattle pays for thcil
transportation to the grounds, furnishes
their feed, and cares for them here fol
ninety days, or until released. 1t is
required that he shall provide a herds
man, or stableman. The government
furnishes shelter and veterinary attend.
ance, and takes away the manure.
The establishment is in charge of an
educated veterinary surgeon, as 'Inspec-
tor" and everything is as thoroughly
systemized as in a good hospital; and
although,a as rule there is entire freedom
from contagious or infectious maladies,
yet everything is conducted precisely as
if every herd were infected. Visitors
are allowed to see the cattle and grounds,
only by written permit from the veteri-
nary surgeon in charge, and are allowed
to visit the byres only in regular sequence
visiting those first. the animals in
which have been longest in quarantine,
This renders it quite impossible to carry
disease from one herd to another. Since
the establishment of the station at
Garfield, Bergen Co., n. j., in June,
1888, 8, 400 cattle have been received up
to September 1st.-Am. Agriculturist.
