MYSTERIOUS DIsEAsE.-At Barden and OF.
way, villages not far from Portsmouth, Ohio,
the peculiar disease which nearly depopu-
lated those places last summer has returned.
A lady is said to have died in two hours after
being stricken. Ex-Mayor Freeman is re-
ported in a dying condition. Physicians
have been unable TO check the disease or to
agree upon its cause. 1t is an affection of
the bowels, and many think that the cause
is TO be found in the drinking water taken
Gon the wells.

How 1T KILLS CATTLE.-The buffalo fly has
appeared in Monmouth county, n. j., and
the farmers have lost many head of cattle
by it. The fly is small and of black color.
Its method Of attack is for the female fly to
bore into the flesh at the base of the horns
and deposit her eggs, and when
the grub matches it penetrates the
head at the base of the horns and also
works through the horns. The animal thus
afflicted shakes ITS head and endeavors TO
scratch the top of its head with its hind
hoofs. While the grub is growing the ami
NAL becomes crazy and butts its head
against fences, which results oftentimes IN
the breaking off of its horns. There is no
cure for the animal after the fly has once
deposited its eggs. The most effective way
20 keep the flies Off the cattle is to daus the
base Of the horns with wood or coal tar.

MATTERS AT WASHINGTON.

Hon. Samuel j. Randall is reported to
be seriously i'll, and his friends fear that
he will never take his seat in Congress
again. He has a cancer, it is said by
those who know.
The Washington Post charges that
under the Cleveland administration civil
service examination papers were sold,
and that Commissioners Lyman and
Oberly not only did not punish the dis
honest clerk, but promoted him.
Congress will be urged to make pro-
vision for marking the Confederate lines
on the Gettysburg battlefield. 1t is urged
that the student of history and the in
telligent tourist visiting this historic
field will say that the positions of the
Union troops have been marked, but did
they not have an enemy? 1t is urged
that this work ought to be done, not as
a matter of sentiment, but to make the
picture complete.

OBITUARY..
HON. ID. c.. LINSLEY.

= HON. ID. c. LINSLEi.
Hon. ID. C. Linsey died in New York
Monday evening, October Z, aged 62 years.
The immediate cause of his death was an
acute affection of the kidneys, although
he had for long time been suffering
from complication of diseases.
Daniel Chapman Linsley was son of
Charles l.. and Sarah White (ChipmanN
Linsley and was born April Il, 1927, in
Middlebury, where the years of his early
boyhoOd were spent. He received his
education in the public schools of that
town and in Middlebury college. He
hogan his business career about 1871,
when he was only 20 years of age, on the
Rutland d Burlington railroad, in the
survey of which he was engaged for three
years. After this road was in operation
he had call to Illinois, whittier he went
in 1851, and supervised the construction
of the Illinois Central. In the year 1886,
the contract being finished, he returned
to Vermont, and for some time devoted
his attention to writing a book about
Morgan hOrses-On which subject he was
authorty-and after the successful pub
LEGATION of this he began the issue of a
paper called the Vermont Stock journal,
which had a wide circulation. While en-
gagged in newspaper work he received an
appointment as superintendent of the
government building at Windsor then in
the early process of construction, and he
went there continuing the publication of
the journal for some time in connection
with his official duties.
In 1859 he made a contract with the
Central Vermont Railroad company to
construct the branch of that road now
existing between this city and Winooski.
Ii was during the process of this con-
structiOn that the tunnel north of the
lumber yards was built by Mr.. Linsley
and it was then regarded as wonderful
piece of work, being the first one that
was ever built, through sand. During
this time and that Immediately following
he built the Central Vermont depot at
this place and one at ST. Adams. He
also superintended the building of the
Montreal and Vermont Junction and
Lebanon Springs roads.
In 1870 he was elected mayor of this
city, being a Democrat. He served In
this capacity until 1871, when he retired
from that Office and went to Minnesota
aud constructed portion of the Northern
tory of Dakota, having his headquarters
at Brainerd. After remaining in the
West for three years he returned East
and constructed the Canada Atlantic
road from Ottawa to CapOlle. Some
years after the completion of these roads
he went to New York, where he was the
originator and constructor of the rapid
transit road between Boston and thai
city.
! For the last two years Mr.. Linsley ha,

been a resident of New York, and at the
time of his death he was engaged on the
plans for gigantic elevated railroad in
that city, and had he lived to complete
his work 1t would no doubt have been as
great success as have been his other
works.
During 1858 Mr.. Linslev married Mar
tina, daughter of ex-Mayor 10 ID. Hatchr
and there was born to them 10 II. Lins-
ley, now practicing physician of New
York, formerly of this city. and Miss
Fanny, who is at the home of the family
In New York with her widowed mother.
Mr.. Linsley was man of broad ideas
and brilliant conceptions, and his death
is to be sincerely mourned as that of a
public benefactor as well as generous
hearted citizen and loving, considerate
husband and father. His remains will be
brought here to-day for interment and
the funeral will be held from st. Paul's
church, of which he was member,
Thursday afternoon at o'clock Bur-
lington Free Press, Wednesday.
