WiIliamsport orr Potomac

Mr.. Isaac Dodd, an old and much
respected citizen, died at his residence
on Potomac street on Wednesday last,
at the age of S3 years. He was car
penter by trade and spent the most OF
his life in the employ of the G. & o.
Canal.
Mr.. Henry Eavis, proprietor of
Eavis Flour Mill on Big Slack water
was unfortunate enough to lose his
horse on Friday last by hanging. Hav-
ing driven to the Cumberland Valley
depot near this place, he hitched his
horse until he transacted the business
that took him to the place. The
horses feet were in ditch, and the
uncomfortable position caused him to
be very restless. In moving about
the animals head became fastened in
the rein and he hung himself. When
found, few minutes afterward, the
horse was already dead. Mr.. Eavis,
it will be remembered, lost several
thousand dollars by the destruction of
lis Touring mill, during the flood of
last spring.
DROWNED HIS HoRsE.-On Friday
of last week Mr.. Carlton Steffey, who
is engaged in huckstering, drove his
horse and wagon up the tow-path u
the canal to reach some Of his custo-
mers who live along the river, and
when he reached the Spring Culvert
about two and a-half miles above this
place, he found the tow-path not only
narrow, but obstructed by stones ant
debris, and in endeavoring to pass /
his horse, wagon and himself were
thrown into the canal, which from
the great floods was washed at thi
particular point to the depth of tel
or twelve feet, Mr.. Steffey reached
the shore in safety but the horse wa
drowned.

There seems to be some commo.
ton over the discovery in Newtowp.
L.. l., of factory where sausages
are made from horse meat. WHY
should there be any commotioD 7
Horse meat IS one OF the recognized
articles Of diet on the continent, and
IN Paris there is more horse beef
eaten than COW beef or steer beef
Some Of the finest sausage in the
world is made from horse meat
Saucission de Lyon is esteemed a
great dainty, and brings a high
price in our swell restaurants. and
there is every reason to 1elieye
that horse meat is the basis OF that,
Bologna sausage is popular with
large numbers OF our peopIe-when
1t is imported; and while nobody
knows exactly what goes into com.
position Of that wondrous amalga-
nation, there is strong probability,
to say the least, that some eqnine
flesh has been used in its production.

THE STATE RANGERS.

They Capture Gang of Cattle Depreda-
tors In Scurry County.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
CoLoRADo, Tex, March s.-Five of Cap
tain McMurray's rangers returned to-day
from raid to the northern part of the
county, where they captured four men
who have been engaged in stealing cattle
up there for the last year or more. These
men, it is charged, have been killing cat
tie and selling the meat in Snyder, and
afterwards burning the hides to prevent
discovery. One of the rangers went up in
that section and did some detective work,
remaining some time, and watched the
process Of burning brands, mavericking,
etc., and then secured aid and arrested the
gang. It is said that there are a
number of other parties implicated
in the crookedness, and that
the next grand jury of Scurry county
will stir things up considerably. The
prisoners were taken to Snyder where they
waived an examining trial and were ad
mitted to $500 bond each.
Winfield SCOTT shipped forty-fve car
loads of cattle to the Indian Territory to-
day, and the Magnolia company will soon
follow with seventy-five cars.
