FIGHTING ANTHRAX.
The State Board of Health Using Vigorous
Means to Exterminate the Disease.

| The State Board of Health Using Vigorous
Means to Exterminate the Disease.
The State Board of Health is vigorous
| ly fighting the epidemic of anthrax in
| this county.
State Dairy Commissioner George Nc
Guire is personally looking over the dis
| trict in which the cattle and horses have
| had the disease, having spent Wednesday
and the day before in Back Neck, Law
renee and Downe townships.
He brought Milk Inspectors Walter
| Atkins and Peter Vandegrift, who will
remain in this place for some time.
| In most of the sections infected, the
disease is on the decrease, but at New
| port it is said to be gaining ground.
Veterinary Surgeons Hewitt and Ire
maine are busy inoculating stock. The
State Board employs them by the day,
| they being under the direction of Special
| Inspector Joseph H. Powell, the Presi-
| dent of our local Board of Health.
Lymph, is sent from the Pasteur In
stitute, in New York, and is very ex-
pensive, $50 doses, costing S45.
The introduction herei is little peculiar,
| and goes to show the tenacity of the An
thraX germs. 1t was imported from
France about five years ago, into Del
| aware, in some hides imported by Del
aware leather tanner.
The tanner spread the refuse from his
| tan pits over his lawn. A COW pasturing
on the lawn contracted the disease and
died, and her carcass was either thrown
| into the Delaware River, or tloated out
with the tide. The carcass came across
| the river and fioated into 'Tuxent Creek
| and from this the disease broke out
about Newpost.

SENATOR ROGERS TALKS.
He Firmly Believes That he Will be
Governor.

NEWARK, N. j., Aug. 1.-The Toffey
Association held barbecue here yester-
day and about one thousand persons par
tlclpated in it. In answer to many ques-
tions, on his arrival, Sheriff Toffey said
he was satisfied to continue drawing
Jurles and had no gubernatorial boom.
The leading men of the party assembled
to watch the huge OK roasted and talked
about fat frying in political sense
When some one asked, ''Who is to be
the next Governor an enthusiast
shouted, John J. Toffy, of course.''
III Foster NJ. Voorhees, doesn't secure
the nomination." said Congressman
Fowler, ''the Colonel would make good
candidate"
Senator Rogers replied that Colonel
IoHey would be Governor for the day, at
least.
HE will beat John Kean three to one"
said Mr.. Fowler, alluding to Mr.. Voor-
hees. Along with South Jersey, we ex-
pect great things from Essex"
Ihere was no one present to speak for
Elias Ward, Franklin Murphy or any
other Essex county man.
Senator Rogers was asked about his
chances. He said: "After a careful can
vass am ready to say that 1 firmly be-
lieve will get the nomination. If 1 do,
you will see the most vigorous campaign
ever conducted in the State. All the
young men want me, and there is some
thing here tells me that 1 would land a
winner"
Here the Senator and ex-President OF
New jerseys Senate tapped his breast
lightly. He eexplained that he would have
South Jersey almost solid, all the ocean
counties as far as Monmouth, with the
latter solid, with fair vote from North
Jersey counties. He added that Senator
Stokes could not hold Cumberland, part
of Atlantic and Burlington counties fol
Senator Voorhees,. Senator Stokes" he
said, wants to return to the Senate and
he will be kept busy attending to his own
interests
Asked if John Kean did not stand well
in South Jersey, he said :-"John Kean
will not be heard from" Regarding Col
Toffeg, Mr.. Rogers said that he had told
him that he would not be candidate
Mr.. Rogers expects quite number OF
Hudson County delegates.
MY strength in Essex will prove sur
prising, or am much mistaken" Sena
tor Rogers went on to say. He said thai
Mr.. Kean would find that the people O.
Essex county would not submit to bar
gain sale of their delegates, and that {
certain Trenton deal would not carry the
county for him. He did not explain
what the deal was. Then the Senator
took the train for Camden county.
The Toffeys and the guests enjoyed thu
great feast, and afterwards there was
speechmaking galore, followed by dane
ing.
EX-Senators John Griggs and Foste
Voorhees, were present, looking afte
boOms.

Charged With Liquor Selling.

Mrs. Mary Harmon, was given hear
ing before Justice Appelgate Tues
day, charged by her son, the notorious
John Harmon, with keeping disorderly
house. All Jehokaville, nearly, were
present at the hearing.
There were eight witnesses, but their
evidence was much tangled, and it was
difficult to see how the Justice would be
able to arrive at dicision in the case.
Johns evidence was direct that he had
bought liquor of his poor old mother,
but others were very uncertain whether
they had or not.

thorities at Glasgow letter stating that a
young man had been found lying beside

Peanut i'm His Throat.

A little six months old baby, the child
of S. B. Davis, of Shiloh, got peanut
fast in its throat. All efforts to relieve it
seemed to be of no avail; doctor was
summoned but no relief was afforded and
the child was fast strangling to death. In
desperation the physician tossed the in
FAINT in a tub of cold water, and out flew
the peanut from the child's mouth. The
shock caused sudden concussion of the
air in the child's lungs and forced the OBJ
struction out. 1t was fortunate impulse
OF the physician to put the child in the
water.

Unless the sweet potatoe crop of Glou-

every prospect that it will, most of the

enough to pay expenses this season. The

are only bringing dollar barrel.
