bridge. When DIR. Kittinger saw the fire
engines coming he drove his horse up to
the curb, fully square in front of the
advancing engines, and gave them free
passage. One carriage had passed safely,
but in some inexplicable manner the
Friendship cart struck his bind wheels
and upset the vehicle, throwing DR.. Kit.

very handsomely, first found birds. Creole
Immediately acknowledged the point by
backing. The birds were flushed, and

backed, the birds were flushed, and ONE

. COLLECTOR NEARY suED.

Summoned ON the Charge of HIsu-
RnIIy DepriyInR Voters OR Tax Re-
ceIptss
Three suits have been entered in the
superior court against County Tax Col
leotor Patrick Neary, the complaint being
that he illegally deprived the plaintiffs OF
their tax receipts.
The suits are brought in the names of
Edward I. Taylor, secretary aud trea-
surer of the Artisans Savings Bank, Wal
ter Bacon, Esq, and German whose
name has not been learned by the writer
Anthony Higgins, ESD, is the attorney
and moving spirit in the cases, and the
suits are for damages. Collector Neary
was served with summons in each case
Monday.
The case of L. T. Taylor against Col
lecter Neary is based on the following
facts: Mr. Taylor had bnen returned as
I'm error in 1885 and had therefore under
the present Interpretation of the law lost
his right to vote in 1886. 0nthe day be-
fore the election, the LIST instant, MIR.
Taylor in company with Mr.. Higgins
went to Collector Neary's office and prof
fexed him the amount of his tax for 1885.
The collector, finding Mr.. Taylor's name
among the errors, refused to take the
money or give receipt and the parties
left.
The suit will become test az To
whether the tax collector can legally re-
fuse to issue a tax receipt to man VINO
has been returned an error, and who
under the present law is held to be de-
priyed of his vote one year thereafter
when such man comes up and offers tht
money IN nav his tax
In the case of Walter Bacon, Esq, thu
plaintiff proffered the amount of his ia,
and was refused. He had been returned
as an error in 1888, 1854 and 1885
and therefore, it is held, could no
legally vote until 1887, or one year afte
his last return.
It is not expected that the cases VII
come to trial at this term of court,
Both Taylor and Bacon voted in tn
Seventh ward on election day, the y
inst, their names appearing on the tall
sheets. Collector Neary made
effort Tuesdfy morning to have .theI
indicted by the grand jury for illegal vo'
ing, but could not get the case befor
that body at this court He purposes hay
ing them indicted at the next term, how
ever. Taking it all in all, the electio
law promises to be thoroughly aired d.
fore the courts during the coming year,
not sooner.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1T.-Dr. Salmon of the
bureau of animal industry, referring to
the cattle disease in Clinton county,
Indiana, said that lot Of dairy calves
was brought into the county from western
New York. They were sold to the
farmers. Some of them had symptoms
of acute lung disease, and the
native cattle running with them
became affected. At the request
of the state board of health,
DR.. Salmon investigated the matter, and
the sick cattle left out of those that were
killed and burned were found to be
afflicted with lung worms. This disease
was common to cattle. It was not ad-
vantageous to kill them. They should be
kept by themselves, and with care and
medical treatment they would recover.
In this case he advised the state board Of
health to quarantine them and follow out
the above treatment.
