The Massachusetts cattle commission
estimates that its work for 1895 will
cost S2l2,OOO. The prevalence of tuber-
culosis in the state is found not to be SO
general as has been supposed. The
whole number of animals examined
since the law of 1894 went into effect up
to December l5, 1894, was 1892; of these
$40 were condemned and killed as tub
erculous, the compensation on the basis
OF half value being S15, ,2S0. The COM
missioner found on the island of Nan
tucket less than one per cent ofthe cat
tie were tuberculous out of 6lSanimals
examined and their judgment is that of
all the cattle in the commonwealth not
more than ten per cent are thus affected.

ployes, was called Off before it was
fairly on.
Yesterday everything was quiet at
the car stables and power houses of the
trolley roads up to 10 o'clock, Twenty
cavalrymen charged crowd of rioters
at 5Sth street and Third avenue at 8
O'Clock. The troopers struck right and
left with sheathed swords and the
crowd scattered. In few minutes the
mob gathered again and this time the
charge was made with drawn swords
and the rioters fled. Cars were run
ming on majority of the roads but the
companies were hampered by the ex-
tensive wire cutting which the strikers
indulged in during the night. An
order was issued at noon by the execu-
tive committee of linemen's 3 association,
for all electrical workmen employed on
trolley lines to go out at once. The
Brooklyn Heights railroad company
deny that their linemen have struck
and claim that they were all at work
yesterday. Master Workman Connolly
denies that he ordered the linemen to
strike. Traffic and all kinds of busi-
ness is seriously affected. Lawlessness
is rampant, and altogether conditions
are such as may well excite the gravest
apprehension. The disorderly element
in the city has been largely recrui ed
from New York and other cities, and
has. as is usual in such cases, arrayed
itself with the strikers. The tenth bat
TALON of New. York has been ordered
to be ready to proceed to Brooklyn on a
moments notice. Similar orders have
been sent to companies at Utica, Pough-
keepsie, Schenectady, and Mount Ver-
non. To-day's developments are await
ed with much anxiety.

THE CAROLINA CONVENTION.
Their Labors Nearly Done, but Two Articles Remain to Be ConSidered-Will
 Finish Today

Columbia S. C., Nov. 25.-The conven- tion has devoted it's time so far today to disposing of the small ordinances. The Seabrook and Rockhill company schemes were defeated after considera- ble debate. The ordinance to put coun- ties on a cash basis was killed.
 The constitutional convention has now completed all but two articles Of the constitution. This afternoon the artcie on corporations was completed, and to- night the article on education was given it's final reading The fight in behalf of higher education in the institutions was renewed, but things were left as they were in that regard.
 Senator Tillman got through the fol- lowing, which will give the opponents of the dispensary law a hard point when the people:
 "All the net income to be derived by the state from the sale or license for the sale of spurious, malt vinous and in- toxicating liquors and beverages, not in cluding so much thereof as is now or may hereafter be allowed by law to go to the counties or municipal corporations or the state, shall be applied annually in aid of the supplementary tax as provid- ed for in the sixth section of this arti- cle and if, after such application, there should be a surplus, it shall be devoted to public school purposes and apportioned as the general assembly may determine; 1; provided, however, that the said supple mentary tax shall be levied when the profits aforesaid and from the sale or license for the sale of alcoholic liquors or beverages are not sufficient to meet and equalize the deficiency for which the said supplementary taxes are provided" :"
 There are now only the articles on ex- ecutive and judicial departments to be considered, together with few ordi- nances.
 The members of the convention expect to finish their work by tomorrow night and leave at 7:3O a. m. Wednesday to spend the balance of the week at the exposition, coming back here to ratify the constitution next week.

The Colt Scandal Settled.

Providence, R. l., Nov. 25.-Mrs Sam- uel P. Colt, who charged her husband, President Colt of the Industrial com pany, with adultery, is to have an ab- solute divorce. This has been agreed to by those who represented the different interests at the conference brought after the collapse of the adultery charges at the Jackson, N. H., hearing.
 The divorce has been amicably agreed to, and will be sought from the Rhode Island courts upon the ground of refusal to provide, or something of that sort. Nothing seriously inimical to the re- spondent will be alleged. The negotia- tions of the past few days have resulted in a complete settlement of the whole Colt family scandal, including an agree ment toward the $200,0OO suit against the millionaire. James J. VanAlen, for alien ating the affections of Mrs. Colt. Colonel Colt will retain the family mansion In Bristol, and the money payment to the wife will be a sum of money to be paid in full settlement and at once Both sides express satisfaction at the result. Mrs. VanAlen is said to have agreed to the payment of liberal sum, largely to escape being dragged into court.

The southern,s New Move.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 25.-The an- nouncement that the Southern Railway company will establish a line of steamers between Baltimore and Norfolk. in oppo- sition to the Old Bay Line and Merchants and Miners Transportation company, promises to promote steamboat war. It is reported today as a counter move to the contemplated action of the Southern Railway company, the Bay Line would establish a line to Richmond in opposi- tion to the Richmond and York River line. President R. c. Hoffman of the Bay Line, in speaking of this matter. said: q am reluctant to bring about any trouble in transportation matters. Established lines and routes best adapted to meet the demands of the public should not in my opinion be interfered with. Of course I shall protect the interests of those whom represent, and should there be another line established between Bal timore and Norfolk new line to Rich mond will follow.
