FIGHTING FENCE CUTTERS.
One Killed Outright and Another
Mortally Wounded.

MOrtally ounued.
BRowNwoOD, TEX, Nov. 11.-Capt.
Scott, Of the State Rangers, received in
formation tuesday that a party OF wire
cutters would cut the wire fence on Nor
gan EDoughe's place that night, twelve
miles from here. He at once gathered his
rangers and with Jew citizens repaired
to Eboughe's place and waited in ambush
for the cutters. At IL O'Clock the cutters
were heard coming up the line of fence.
They were permitted to pass a few of
those in ambush, but on arriving opposite
him Capt. Scott demanded their sur
render, stating that they were rangers.
His only answer was a pistol shot.
Then firing became rapid on both
sides. The moon was bright and clear,
and they could distinguish one another
easily. When the firing ceased one wire
cutter was found killed and one mortally
wounded. while two made their escape
on foot, their horses being captured. The
horses were identified as belonging to c.
johnson and G.. Matthews, and it is sup
posed they are the ones who made their
escape. Jim Lowell, the man killed, was
disguised with a false moustache. He
was an old offender. Amos Roberts, the
man captured. died. Lowell held the pO-
sItion of constable IN an adjoining pre-
clnct. The parties cut one ana quarter
miles of fencing before coming up to the
rangers. Before morning the rangers
also captured Bob Peacock. anoted horse

ing OuS the INetIirnS.
NCHEsTER, N. H, Nov 1.-THE eX-
citement Occasioned by the charges of ir-
regularities as to the recent election in
Ward 5, and the probability of the vote
OF the ward being thrown out, has nearly
subsided, as it is almost settled that moth
ing will be done to disturb the results Of
the election Public sentiment is solid
against taking advantage of technical ir-
regularities in order to set aside
the will of the majority. The
facts, pure and simple, are
that the Se1eotmen inadvertently omitted
to sign the warrant until the morning of
the election. No fraud was committed.
No one was denied the right TO vote and
tine check list was posted according to
law. Able jurists OF both parties scout
the idea of throwing out the vote of the
ward, and the better class of the cOmmu-
nifty discOunteDance the attempt to do SO
and thus disfranchise nearly 5000 voters.

Maybe So.

The Philadelphia Times declares that
Garfield was killed by the probe. The
bullet had incrusted in his back and the
wound would have healed il the physicians
had allowed it to take its own course. In
stead of that they kept irritating it con-
tinually, and the result was that the
patient steadily sank under the treatment.
1t was urged that the injury to his spine
would have proved fatal anyway. but the
fact that he lived as long as he did with
out paralysis shows that his shock was not
necessarily a fatal one. II has long been
recognized that more men die by the probe
than by the bullet. We refer to it at this
time because during the progress Of Gar
fields sickness the Times steadily declared
that the incessant probing to which the
sick man was subjected would hasten his
death, 1t is gratifying to see that this
common sense view Of the matter is now
sustained by such high scientific authority
as DR.. Esnatch. of Germany, who says in
an outspoken way that il the doctors had
kept the probe out OF Garfield he would
be living to-day.

PLEuRO.PNEUMONIA

There is a general pleuro.pneumonia
scare among the stockmen of the East,
and some people in the West are wor.
ried over it. The symptoms of the
plague are described by a high authority
as follows:
In its nature it is a specific infectious
disease, generally affecting the lungs and
the lining membrane of the chest, pro.
ducing a particular form OF lobar or
lobular pleuro-pneumonia, and in the
majority of cases, IL not in all, it is trans
mitted through the medium OF impure
air-hence its localization in the lungs.
incubation with the fluid from the dis
eased lungs does not produce any effect on
other than the bovine species, but in this
its action is most energetic. Producing
after a certain interval characteristic

it does not develop the lung LESSONS always

is q local anatomical similarity or identity.

as many months, the chief symptoms be-
ing fever. a diminished appetite. a short
cough OF a peculiar and pathognomonic
character, with quickened breathing and
pulse, and physical indications of lung
and chest disease. The progress of the
malady is marked by exacerbation of the
symptoms. and toward the end there is
great debility and emaciation. death gen.
orally ensuing after the hectic fever has
set in. Recovery is somewhat rare. The
pathological changes are generally limited
to the chest and its contents, and consist
in q peculiar marble-like appearance of the
lungs on section, and fibrinous deposits on
the pleural membrane, with oftentimes
great effusion into the cavity of the throat.
Fortunately it is entirely confined to
the bovine species; no well. authenticated
instances of its Transmission, either acct.
dental or experimental, to other species
have been recorded.

NEW LIGHT ON THE GULF
STREAM.

Prince Albert, of Monaco, has recently
published some results OF his expert
ments recently made in his yacht, the
Hirondelle, to determine the easterly ex-
tension Of the Gulf Stream. As sum
married. in Nature these results show
that 300 miles to the northwest of the
Azores the Gulf Stream has no tendency
to flow to the northeast, and ever it's
tendency toward the east is scarcely
pronounced. During the Hirondelle's
scientific cruise 179 floats were thrown
out at various points to the northwest OF
he Azores.
The Prince of Monaco has undertaken
an important photographed research
which has long been neglected by the
great maritime Powers. 1t is too early
yet to say what will be the yield of his
experiments in a scientific point of view,
but it is to be hoped that the example of
ocean observations with little to en-
courage him will be followed by other
po~tentates who are in a better position
to carry out such a research to a success.
