Scarcity of Fodder in Germany.

Mr.. j. c. Monaghan, United States
Consul at Chemnitz, Germany, communi-
Gates through the State Department facts
. that will be of interest to American mer-
chants and agrieulturists Mr. Monaghan
says that Germany is suffering very severe
ly from scarcity of hay and fodder. The
deficit is so great that it has taken the form
of national calamity. In places protests
are made against the fall army maneuyers,
because of the so=called .fHtte,7lot fodder
scarcity The crop failure is widespread.
lis influence will linger for long time and
will be felt in all the meat markets and ex-
changes of the Empire. Farmers, to save
part of their cattle, have been obliged to
sell or kill the least valuable of their herds.
In Saxony the Chairman of the combined
agricultural unions sent out circular letters
to the Chairmen of 443 local agricultural
clubs or societies. He got l43 answers.
Of these 45 acknowledged the sale of from
10 to 80 per cent. of their entire stock.
In the district of Chemnitz 10 per cent.
were sold, and in Dresden 20 per cent.
As u rule, the sale of cattle was proper
.ionaI to the size of the farm. Persons
having distilleries of any kind on the farm
and those who produced sugar-yielding
roots sold only such cattle as had little or
no value for agricultural purposes. The
large farmers, especially those who carry
fodder from year to year, sold from 10 to
Is per cent. of their stock. The middle
and small farmers sold from 20 to 20 per
cent, the difference depending upon each
farmers knowledge and skill in the treat
ment of his grain and grass fields. The
very small farmer had to sell often as high
as 80 per cent. of his cattle to save the re-
naming 20 per cent. In certain districts
the sale of cattle, due to last years small
crop of hay, had already begun in the early
months of last winter.
In the Laubau district these sales were
sometimes very large. In some districts
the cattle of middle and small farmers were
killed and the meat sold for the price
remarkably low hereof six and seven
cents per pound. Reports from some dis
tricts show that sheep could not be sold at
all, for, even at the lowest prices ever
known here, in proportion to other things,
there was no demand. Inasmuch as young
cattle fell first under the axe when it was
found necessary to kill, great scarcity of
breeding cattle is reported.
1t is feared that, notwithstanding the
great efforts now being made to prevent it,
vet hay and fodder being so dear and the
foreign surplus, so far as reported, so small,
fully one-half the cattle in many districts
will have to be killed this fall or winter in
order to save the other half. All this can
not fail to affect the meat markets for a
long time to come, and Consul Monaghan
expresses the opinion that as the supply
of meats grow smaller and prices cores
pondingly higher good opportunity will
arise to supply the German market with
American meats.

october gave party
The le4tes by hundreds came
The Chestnuts, oaks and Naples.
Aud leaves of every Lathe.
The sunshine spread carpet.
And everything was grand;
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks In crimson dressed:
The lovely Misses Maple,
In scarlet looked their best.
All balanced to their partners
And gayly futtered by:
The sight was like rainbow
New fallen from the sky.
Then. in the rusty hollows,
At hide and seek they played:
The party closed at sundown.
And everybody staid.
Professor Wind played louder.
They flew along the ground,
And there the party ended.
In hands across all round.

treasurer of the concern. He was con- sidered one of the most trustworthy men connected with the establishment, and by reason of the trust reposed in him enjoyed unusual liberties.
 This morning a representative of the DEMOCRAT visited the office of the Benedict & Burnham Go and there met E. L. Frisbie, Jr, the treasurer. When the errand of the reporter was stated MT Frisbie preferred not to speak on the matter and referred the reporter to President A. s. Chase. When Mir Chase discovered the nature of the in formation desired by the reporter he at once stated that he did not care to say anything for publication. He thought the matter was a private one And did not concern the public. He said that of the case some things would be dis closed that are private matters solely. The reporter argued with MT Chase that the accused had been con- sidered a man of good moral standing \ in the community, it was rumored that he had committed a crime against the public morals, and the affair should be made public. No argument could con- vince Mir Chase, however, that the pub lie should be enlightened on the matter, and the reporter took his leave.
 
 G Burnham Go annually or semi-annu- ally employ an expert accountant to go lover the records and see if every thing is Hcorrect. It is said that a new account ant filled the place of the old one during the past month. His labors were scarcely begun when he discovered evi. dences of crime. As he advanced in his
 work the amount grew larger and finally the whole truth came out that the assistant treasurer had either drawr too much salary or was guilty of mis This is the story told to a reporter anG

An American Messenger Protects Himself
 With Revolver.
 The New York & New England Rail- road company has been enioined by Judge Barrett of the supreme court company facilities on the road and com press company all the rights and privi- leges which it has heretofore enjoyed under the latter's contract. The United restrained from transacting business on that line. The injunction was served at 3: 30 p. m. yesterday.
 This injunction has had no effect on this state of affairs. The United States continued all day to handle the large amount of freight that has been pouring in. The American Express company has continued to offer freight to the railroad people and the latter have continued to refuse it.
 The conflict between the two com panies has peen sharper than at first supposed. An American messenger coming west was stopped at Williman. tic on Monday and ordered to leave the car by United States company officials The American man pulled out his re. volver and soon gave the other fellows to understand he had orders to take through that car of express and was go ing to do it. The sight of the five bull lets in the chambers of the revolver per suaded the United States men to leave him alone and he went on to Hartford without further interruption, safely de livering the $30 ,O0O he had entrusted tC him,
