considered q matter of the utmost impOr-
lance, a barrier between the East End and
the other part of the island was establish
ed by means OF q wire.fence put UP along
the quarterline; at the same time the
cattle on all EAST End estates WAS declar-
ed to be under public supervision, and

r garding which Government would refer
to the policelnaster's publication dated 9th
March 1889.
The Investigation was continued so as to
include the other part of the jurisdiction,
but afforded no evidence that the disease
existed outside East End.
With a view of being always in readi-
ness to take part i'll the Investigation, the
veterinary had. to reside in ChristianSted
for more than = month.
For the purpose Of the traffic two gates
were placed in the fence, one Immediately
to the east of ChristianSted and one in the
vicinity of the estate "FarchAm at both
gates a military sentry-pOst was establish
ed so us to ensure that no live stock from
East End passed the gates.
Having subsequently in the commence
ment of June received information that
matters were in a satisfactory State-part-
~, it ia thought, owing to tue favourable
state of the Weather-GOVernment re-
opened the traffic between East End and
the other parts GOT the island, and discon-
tinued the provisional restrictions which
had been adopted, while, at the same time,
the owners of the two estates where the
existence of the disease had been declared,
where enjoined to observe exceptional
measures of caution.

Machine Works.
ELIZABETHPoRT, n. j., May 7.-rhe en-.
tire western front of the Singer Sewing
Machine Factory, on First street, was
gutted by last nights fire
The flames worked their way to the
main building extending along Trum-
bull street, cleaning out the stock,
needle, finishing, adjusting, inspecting
and milling rooms. The pattern Cepart-
ment was also destroyed, together with
80, 900 finished machines and 1S,000,000
needles.
The loss is estimated at 81 600, 900, fully
insured, by the Singer Company. All
work is suspended and over 5000 opera
tlves were idly gazing to-day at the
burned building. 1t will be at least two
months before work can be resumed.
The fire started in the high clock tower
of the main building few minute past
II O'Clock. The blaze was first discov-
cred by one of the watchmen, but he lost
his presence of mind. and there was
good deal of delay in sending out an
alarm. Explosions of benzine followed
one another rapidly, throwing the flames
great distances.

Some months ago several rascals IN
Philadelphia were found to have conspired
to swindle Mrs. Emily b. Hooper out of
some thirty thousand dollars. One of
them, Leopold Alexander, who pleaded
guilty, has been sentenced to only three
months imprisonment. In these days
Justice not only travels with a leaden
heel, but often strikes with gloved and

detective, who was employed by the
woman to guard her interests, and fright
ened her into paying him large sums OF
money.
Rev. Cyrus Cort, of Green Castle, who
opposed Prohibition, was assigned by the
Reformed Church classis, now in session
at Chambersburg, to preach at the First
Lutheran Church, but the congregation
refused TO hear him, and he did not ap-

in the matter, and it is said that the body
regards the refusal of the Lutheran con-
gregation to receive Rev. Mr.. Cort as an
insult to the Reformed Church.

a BA PUNGE.

Master Heber Strayer-Son of Mr.. John Il.
Strayer Seriously Injured in an Accident.
While Mr.. Lewis Stutsman was driving
the hill road near Benshoff's Mill in West
Taylor township, yesterday afternoon
with two horse team, the horses became
unmanageable and plunged down an al
most perpendicular embankment over fif-
teen feet high. Mr.. John Benshoff, who
was setting on the seat with the driver
jumped off, but the driver held to the
lines, and landed with the wagon at the
bottom with crash, but was not seriously
injured and strange to say neither team
nor wagon were badly damaged.
Heber, the nine-year,old son of Mr..
John E. Strayer, who was sitting in the
back part of the wagon, however, was
thrown out and landed upon pile OF
rocks in the bed of stream, where the
wagon partly passed over him. He was
taken out in an uncop scious condition,
but soon recovered, when it was dis
covered that besides number of bruises
on different parts of the body, there was
very severe cash upon the forehead,
close to the right eye. He was brought
to town where his wounds were dressed,
and he is now resting as comfortably as
may be expected.
A peculiarly of this accident lies in the
fact that but few minutes before reach
ing this point the driver jokingly re-
marked that it would be bad plunge to
go over the road there, when Mr.. John
Z Strayer, who was also sitting on the
seat with the driver got off. He had no
serious fears of an accident however, and
iokingly called to his son Heber that If
anything happened, he should jump OFF
behind. 1t was fortunate that MIR. Strayer
was not OH the wagon at the time the
plunge was made as the three persons so
crowded the seat that neither would have
had the chance to save themselves, and
more serious results would almost GER
tainly have followed.

the flames were extlnguishe J the unfoItl
