HYDRoPHOBIA AMONG CATTLE.

Three Brothers subsequently Bitten
 by the Maddened Steers-Two
 Already Dead and the Life of the
 Third DespaIred of.
 KANSAS CITY, June 7.-Some two weeks ago mad dog bit steer, one of a herd of cattle belonging to the Vanderburg broth CTS, living in the western portion of Atchison county, Kan. The steer was soon afflicted with hydrophobia which spread to other members of the hcrd. There were three of the Vanderburg brothers and each of them was bitten by one or other of the afflicted animals. They did not know the terrible nature of the disease with which their cattle were afflicted and paid no particular attention to their injuries until Friday when one of the brothers became violently i'll with hydrophobia. Last night he died in the most e1cruciating agony. To-day another of the brothers died and the third was brought to this city by surgeon of the Missouri Pacific corporation wheDe he was placed in the Missouri Pacific hospital. He has all of the terrible symptoms of hydrophobia and it is not believed that medical skill can save him.

The Late Charles Meyran,

A special meeting of the Board of Direc.
tors of the Manufacturers Gas Company
was held yesterday afternoon in reference to
the death of Mr.. Charles Meyran; when the
following minute was adopted and ordered
to be published:
'The Board of Directors of the Manufac.
turers' Natural Gas Company learn with
heartfelt sorrow of the death of Charles
Meyran, President of this company since its
organization.
''They feel it solemn duty as well as a
privilege to record their estimation of his
official character and their regard for the
man. In his business, as in his social and
public life, Charles Meyran was faithful to
the trusts reposed in him, unremitting in
industry and bringing to every detail the
highest degree OF intelligent and con-
scientious care He planned broadly in his
enterprises, and executed with patient and
minute attention to the interests confded to
him. Deceased took an active and honora-
BILE part in the industrial development of
Pittsburg. His death brings profound sor-
row to his associates on this Board, while
his memory and example remain to be cher
ished and emulated

Charles Meyran was born in the Province
Of Hanover, Germany, IS years ago. His
parents died when he was young and when
he was IA years old he came to America. He
had an uncle living in Pittsburg, and for q
short time made his home with him. In
the jewelers. trade, and when he came to
America, he went into the store of Lewis
Reineman. When he was % years old his
perseverance, and ability recommended him
SO strongly to MI. Reineman that he was
taken into the firm, and remained in the
business until 1862 In 1870 he organized the
Germania Savings Bank, and out of love for

rank among the foremost in the country.
Mr.. Meyran has always been at the helm,
and his greatest pride has been the banks
growth. until the deposits now amount to
$l,S00,000. The worriment and exposure con-
nected with the fire of last March is directly
responsible for his death and shows the love
he was at the head. The rebuilding OF the
ruined structure has been carefully super
vised by him, and in few months It was ex-
pected they would be back at their old

Bank. Mr.. Meyran was President

Ile CannOnSOulS Iron ana SL6e1 company
is the largest industry at that place and has
lately increased its capacity one-half. Mr..
Meyran's son, Lewis A., is Treasurer of the
firm, and with his father has made
the works business success. Great
interest has always been taken in Cannons-
burg by MT. Meyran, and it was partly for
the sake of the town and the surrounding
section of the country that he has pushed
SO vigorously the Pittsburg, Cannonsburg
and State Line Railway. He hoped to see It
built within a few years, and never grew
tired telling what wonderful territory
would be developed by its construction.
Mr.. Meyran was in Councils several terms
from the Eleventh ward and was always in
the front rank when city affairs were being
considered. He was Treasurer of the Cham
ber of Commerce at the time of his DEATH
He was at one time President of the Pitts.

Railway.
The family of Mr. Meyran now reside at
Shady avenue and Howe street. He was
married in 1859 to Sophia Flowers, q descend
ant of a well-known Western Pennsylvania
family. They had two children-Lewis A.
and daughter who is the wife of w. A.
Scott, Jr., OF W. A. Scott & Son, fire brick

tine East End was noted for comfort and
hospitality. Although Mr.. Meyran was
known as millionaire, he never made q
display of wealth in dress or actions His
acts of charity were imostentatious, but
were nevertheless frequent and well placed.
He has a few relatives in this country, but

The Warren Congressman Thinks the Pres

GEORGE A. JENKs STILL FOR GROVER

The new Democratic association is Jealous
in caring for the good names of w. A. Sipe
and Charles O'Brien and the members yes
terday discussed with various degrees of
vigor the sarcastic words of Chairman Bren-
men with reference to the two leaders MI.
Sipe thought Mr.. Bremen was trying to
dodge the real issue and instead of explain
ing the falling off of Democratic votes was
devoting his time to the abuse of the peo-
pie who would not obey his particular de-
creeS. With regard to the remark of the
County Chairman that he had to pay SIS to
have votes taken into Mr.. Sipe's
district at the last election, the
latter said he did not think it the duty of
Democrats TO distribute Republican ballots
with the only redeeming feature of having
one Democratic name thereon. He said he
had distributed 'stickers" for Judge Ken
nedy, but did not care to ruin his reputa-
tion as a Democrat by carrying around a
combination ticket such as was presented to
the members of his party at the last cleo
tion.
The Craftsmanship Not an Issue.
The County Chairmanship, he thought,
was not yet an issue, and he said he had
not become candidate for that position.
He was willing to compare his record as
Democrat with that OF MIR. Bremen, and
instead of having 60 delegates who were
willing 10 support him at the last conven-
tion, he said he had $50.
When Mr.. O'Brien was asked what he
had to say in reply to Mr.. Bremen, he
said:
According TO an interview, Mr.. Bren-
men charges Sipe and myself with selfish
motives in our efforts at reform. Well,
having changed from a bawling Greenbacker
to an alleged Democrat for mercenary rea-
sons, and having worked the party ever
since for personal ends, it is not to be ex-
pected that he would credit others with
worthy aims
The Party Vote Decreasing.
THE fact, however, is that during ten
years of Brennen's administration there has
been an annual decrease in the party vote,
until there is now complete Generalization
and his organization is the tool of the ring.
''As to my being jealous of his pro-
fessional success, unless election contests
that produce nothing but useless expense,
and pantomime in the License Court are to
be called such, 1 have not observed any
special legal eminence in the modest Chair
man to excite envy"

STONE IS FOR HARRISON.
He Thinks Blaine Won't Run and Compli-
ments the President

He Think. Blaine Won't Run and CompIi'
ments the President.
Congressman G. w. Stone, of Warren
was in the city yesterday attending meet.
ing of the Oakdale Natural Gas Company.
He returned to Washington last evening.
The little company of Republicans in the
House are taking life very easy, and
waiting for the Democrats to do something.
AT present the organization of Congress is
absorbing the attention of the politicians at
Washington and they are giving little at
tention to Presidential candidates. Mr..
Stone says he has not paid any attention to
the Warmcastle case, for he regards it as a
Pittsburg muddle. The greater part
of his Congressional district comes within
the Collectors domain. He remarked that
SO far as he knows there are no candidates
for the place in the Northwest. 1t is
generally expected that now the fight is on
some of the country Congressman will make
bids for their henchmen.
Mr.. Stone was much interested in the
statement of B. f. Jones that Blaine had
told him he would dot run. sTt has always
been my impression" continued the Con-
gresham, ''that Blaine would not be a cam
didate. The last time saw him 1 thought
he was a very sick man. 1 haven't seen
him since he returned to Washington. I
notice that Harrison is growing in favor
with the people. never met man who
has such a marvellous knowledge of
details in every branch of the Government.
1t is simply wonderful. have known men
who were better posted in a department, but
their general knowledge couldn't be COM
pared to the Presidents mastery of govern
mental affairs Harrison has never courted
popularity, he can't warm up the people
like Blaine, but he has been consciention
and his administration has been able and
satisfactory"
While he wonld not say it, it is evident
Mr.. Stone is supporter of the President.

and Bought Cheap Property.
Old oil men can tell number of stories
about the late John McKeown, of Wash

but here is tale that is Characteristic One
OF his strong points was that he always had
the cash, and he has made many an oppon-
ent weary by laying down thousands of
dollars when it was thought he hadn't a
cent Some years ago McKeown went to
Baltimore to buy a big building that as
10 be sold at auction. \ job had been set up
between the auctioneer and a gang by which
they were TO get the property for less than
IL was worth Mckeown was
present at the sale, and noHdy
knew him. His appearance was anything
but prepossessing, and as he kept on meet
ing the other bids and going them one bet
ter the fellows in the deal sized him up for
o man who hadn't any ready money. 1t
was decided to knock off the property to
him, but before IL was done the auctioneer
explained that the buyer must put up the
price at once. Mckeown said nothing, but
stolidly bid S125, 600 when the property was
turned over to him. The auctiOneer, with a
flourish, asked him to step TO the stand and
settle Immediately. The oil man calmly
pulled out of his inside pocket drafts on
New York amounting to 5000, 900, and paid
the money! The other people were para

been so easv The building was worth a
great deal more than S125,OOO, and John
