Anthrax spreading.

Anthrax, the most dreaded of all dis
eases among cattle, and also the most
deadly and mysterious. and one which
the medical fraternity declares cannot be
treated because death ensues almost as
soon as the disease is discovered, is
spreading through the state with alarm
ing rapidity, so the State Board of Healths
officers report.
The disease broke out less than three
weeks ago in Salem and Cumberland
counties, and already fully 100 head of
cattle. horses and mules have dropped
dead in the fields or on the highways in
those counties alone.
Reports from the inspectors in Essex
and Hudson and other North Jersey
counties, where they haye been quietly
at work for two days, show that the
dreaded disease has also reached that
part of the state.
Members of the State Board of Health
have become alarmed, and will employ
specialists to scour South Jersey counties
and make an effort to prevent the further
spread of the disease. Dr.J.H Powell, pres
ident ofthe Bridgeton Board of Health,is in
charge of the corps of specialists who are
authorized by the State Board of Health
to spare neither time nor money in stamp
ing out the scourge. DIR. Powell and his
corps of veterinarians are now engaged in
going from farm to farm in Cumberland
county.
The specialists employed by the State
Board are equipped with hypodermic
syringes and bottles of M. Pasteur's pre-
ventive for anthrax, the only known rem
edy, and are under strict orders to vacci-
nate all COWS, horses, mules. sheep and
swine. The preventive is inoculated in
the animal, and. being deprived of part
of its yirulence, communicates the disease
in mild form and protects the animal
from an acute attack. This method o.
treatment has been highly successful, the
state health officers say.

no less an authority than M. Pasteur, ant
as seven fine Jersey cows on one dairI
farm in South Jersey, which supplied
Philadelphia with milk, dropped deaf
with anthrax this week, Commissions
Mcclure is anxious that all milk shall
undergo a thorough inspection befor
, leaving the state or being sold at all.
, The inspectors are commanded to de
stroy all milk showing the least sign o
unhealthfulness and to prevent the us
of any milk coming from a farm wher
anthrax prevails, besides being ordere'
: to watch closely every can of milk shippe'

whether the milk of COW affected wit

or not, but they are taking no chances i

ImIaystown,


Rev. John Hu6nagle, pastor of the Bap-
fist Church here, was called upon about
two weeks ago to marry Wilbur A. Wat
kinson. of Freehold, and Miss Kate J..
Reid. of New Egypt Watkinson was ar
rested next day on a charge of stealing
$45 from the Misses Melissa and Bessie
Hoffman, daughters of William P. Hoff-
man, with whom he had boarded. The
money was spent on his wedding outfit.
News travels slowly into Imlaystown,
and it was only few days ago that Pas
tor Huffnagle learned that the bridegroom
of few nights before was thief. Then
he wrote this letter t4be county paper:
81 notice that one wilbur Watkinson
whom married recently to Miss E. j.
Reid, of New Egypt has been arrested
for stealing money from parties in your
place. inclose you the wedding fee ($5)
which he gave me, and request that it
may be returned to whom it may belong. .
The bride of two weeks is inconsolable
a nd the fact that Watkinson borrowed
the engagement ring ne gave her from
another girl to whom he had pledged his
troth does not lessen her anguish.

Could Not Bunoo Him.

Justice Krayer had an experience on
Thursday afternoon with three strangers
who were evidently not pleased with the
result of the meeting, as it did not pan
out profitably.
The Squire was on the Long Branch
express between Philadelphia and Mount
Holly He was reading paper. when a
well-dressed man who had been at the
other end of the car for drink of water.
paused and asked the latest about the
Holmes case. He conversed few seconds
and then invited Krayer to take a
hand at euchre with two other men in
the rear of the car.
The Justice agreed to do this and joined
the trio, two of whom were dressed plain
~ and had the appearance of well-to-
farmers.
AS the game progressed the eldest of
the three thought that Krayer's partner
was too sure of his play and offered to
bet $40 that he would not make it. This
was refused, and the old man finally Of
fered to bet a new hat. This was accept
ed. two S. bills were put up. and Chris
partner won, the old man throwing down
his cards and cursing his luck. Then he
went to get drink and while gone the
winner remarked that it seemed like rob-
bling the old man to take his money on
such a dead sure thing. Player No. 3
said il was all right; that the old man
was his uncle, worth 100000, and would
not mind little loss.
The game proceeded and finally Krayer
got an unusually strong hand. He an
nounced his intention of playing Alone"
and then the old man was on fire again,
and offered a bet of 500 that the Justice
could not make four points. The latter
refused to bet, Notwithstanding his part
ner offered to "go him halves" and de-
spite the jibes of the players that it was
hard to find Jerseyman with sand" and
"who was not afraid to bet on good
thing" Chris had a pretty good thing,
but his opponent. 1t turned out, had a stiff
hand, too.
Chris had sand" enough, however, not
to be pulled In, and when he reached
Mount Holly notified the brakeman of
the train to keep his eye on the three
men. They we're on the train again on
Friday, and one of them accosted Krayer
