Disease Among Cattle.

few days ago Superintendent G. NJ.
Gowell of the Maine State College farm at
Orono noticed that two of his best Jersey
cows in the fine herd on the farm were sick,
and he Immediately separated them from the
rest The disease was such that an ordinary
observer would not discover it, but Mr..
Gowell saw that the cattle grew worse and
as he could not determine what the matter
really was he had them killed. In the mean
time DR.. George II. Bailey, the Portland
veterinary surgeon, had been sent for and
arrived Saturday. He made careful ex-
animation of the animals but he was also
unable to tell the cause of their illness. He
accordingly noted the nature of the disease
and other facts in regard to it and left for
New York, where he will consult President
Liuatard of the Veterinary College. If this
gentleman can give no light on the subject
DR.. Bailey expects to return to Orono with
him on Friday. As yet the rest OF the herd
are unaffected. The herd is a very valuable
one, being composed of thoroughbred cattle
and if they should be killed the loss would
be very heavy.

RAILWAY MATTERS.

Mr.. Richard Olney. counsel for the Boston
& Maine railroad, appeared before the Mas
sachusstts committee on railroads to argue
against the petition of the Boston & Lowell
railroad for authority to build road from
Boston to Salem. Mr.. Olney having raised
the point at previous hearing that the road
could be built under the general law, and
Mr.. Strout, counsel for the Lowell road,
having argued that it could not, because the
road would pass over tidewater at certain
points, Mr.. Olney, Monday, presented his
views of this point. The whole discussion is
preliminary to the general question of au-
tborizing the Boston 6 Lowell railroad COM
pany to build as desired. Mr.. Strout pre-
sented the draft Of bill.

Short Lobsters.

The Boston Herald says the law against
having in possession any lobster less than
101 inches in length is being pretty thorough
ly enforced both there and on the Maine
coast, where many of the Holsters are taken.
A private letter from Commissioner Counce
of Maine to Deputy Commissioner Shattuck
of Boston explains how thoroughly the mat
ter is being worked, and shows that the
shippers of short Holsters are thoroughly
frightened. One Portland shipper swore
that car containing about 1900 short Holsters
did not belong to him, but to another man,
whose name was on the car. This man
swore that he loaned the car to the first
named party last fall, and he considered it
hard to 'go back on friend" in that way.
However, the real owner of the Holsters, the
borrower of the car, fled to Boston, but on
his return was arrested, and the ownership
of the Holsters will make him responsible for
the fine. A good deal of work has been done
in short Holsters by night shipments, just
before the departure Of steamers and trains
for Boston and New York.
Here the dealers, many of them, are rem
dering Deputy Shattuck all the assistance in
their power. Short Holsters seized in Maine
cost the party having them in possession 81
each, but if seized in Massachusetts, S5 each
is the fine. Already the Maine officers are
several thousand dollars richer by such fines,
and the Massachusetts officials are looking
for haul.

Mr.. Vest said he concluded to take and did take
one hundred shares of the Pan Electric stock for

a contract showing he was entitled to one hun

The accident, which is the first Of the kind that
has ever happened in Boston harbor, has cast a
feeling OF gloom over the river men, who may be
seen in knots along the water front discussing the
sad fate of the crew, who were very popular
among their fellows. All the towboats, ferry
boats and vessels lying at the wharves are flying
their colors at half mast in honor of the head.
