Young Hildebrand.s Misadven.ure

Fred q. Hildebrand son of w. Hildebrand,
the coal-dealer at No. 1872 West Fourth street,
was given $40 by his father yesterday morning
to deposit in the bank. He did not return to the
Office at the usual time, and inquiry at the bank
just before closing hours revealed the fact that
he had not left the money there. Last night at
0 o'clock he returned home with but S38, of
the money. and was SO drunk that he
could not give account of himself His
father sent for Sergeant Dawson, and the young
man was arrested on a charge of drunkenness
and embeZZlement. He is twenty-seven years
of age. and has heretofore borne a good reputa-
ton. After he had become sufficiently sober TO
tell his story he said he fell in with some per-
sons who enticed him to drink, and he thinks he
was robbed of the greater part Of the money.

era Meat OF the cholera hog was not poisonous
If the meat Of cattle suffering from Texas

st. Louis would have been dead long ago. One
of the crying evils of the time was the shipping
of diseased hogs and pregnant sows 20 market

character of swine. The bsli. was not intro
duced. because Chicago would not ask for a
St. Louis upon the question. the current OF
trade would be turned to Chicago, and
st Louis would oe given the cold
which would prevent packer from using
cholera hogs. He stated that the suggestion
that be should come here came originally from
met accidentally, and to whom he had said that
there was more filth in prime steam lard than
IN anything else, and that anything the rehner
could do to it would not purify IT,
In response TO . question from Mr.. Wilson,
the witness declared that the man would immor-
taized himself who would frame legislation
which would prevent the reiners and packers
from acting improperly in the manufacture of
food products. In reply to question. tho wit
ness stated that out of a carload of sixty ami
mails the number of bears, stays and pregnant
sows would sometimes be none, but at times
would run from five TO twenty.
The chairman said that while that might be
true of the St. Louis market, it was not true Of
northeast of the Missouri. Not one
farmer out or hundred in that
section would spoil nice lot of hogs by
putting boar on stag among them. He did
not believe that the shipments from Hannibal
would average one such animal in hundred
hogs.
The Chairman-Did you while you were buy
ing hogs in ST Louis, with q large Southern
trade. use cholera hogs, and put them into the
food prodncts7 Answer did; and so does
every packer.
Replying Mr.. Cromwell, the witness said
he knew of reason why an inspector should
be appointed to inspect refined lard if the cot
