GENTLEMEN mill has been running dur.

Cane shredder lately installed giving the
most satista' tory results.
Our mill consists of three sets of two roll

The Rattoon cane being miled Is as hard
as 1t is possible for cune to be, having been
subjected to severe drought during the
whole period of its growth, and growing on
land with trade wind exposure. Our ex-
perience with the Shredder, particularly with
above cane, proves it to be Just what our
mills required, the shredded cane being bette r
prepared to have its juice extracted than for

The Boilers make steam much easi + than
before, now care has to be taken to keep them
from blowing off, whereas before great care
was necessary TO keep the steam from going
too low when the Pan was on.
By the use of the Shredder we have dis
pensed with six men, formerly necessary to
distribute the cane on the carrier, feed the
first mil, and throw back the long pieces.
The Shred. er Machinery is a good sub

trouble as it is subjected to but light strains
You will sec that by applying the Shred

very materially mproved-obtaining a
better extraction at less expense than former
ly. The great improvement in our steam,
causes much satisfaction to those engaged in
the Mill.

IN THE RESERVOIR.
Little Amos Saxton Meets Sad Death
Thursday Morning at the Reservoir.

Little Amos saxton Meets Sad Death
Thursday Morning at the Reservoir.
Little Amos Saxton, the young son of
ex-Justice Isaac Saxton was drowned
Thursday, at the distributing reservoir,
out on the Millville pike.
The little fellow was playing about the
reservoir pretty much all the morning,
watching gang of workmen, who are
: employed there under direction of Super
interdent Woodruff.
No particular attention was paid to the
boy, except to keep him out of mischief,
as he is in the habit of investigating
pretty mach everything that he comes
across.
While Superintendent Woodruff was
down town, somebody asked some of the
men if they had noticed the boy.
The reply was no. Then one of the
men looked over the fence and noticed a
hat floating on top of the water. Thi
aroused suspicion, and Mr. Woodruff
was sent for. He quickly secured ropes
| and graphing hooks and the bottom of
| the reservoir was dragged, and about
eleven o'clock, one of the hooks caught
| in the left sleeve of the little fellows
shirt and he was pulled out, together
with considerable amount of moss.
| County Physician Thompson was on
the ground within ten minutes after the
boy was pulled, out, but life was extinct,
the little fellow having been in the water
for fully an hour. The body was re-
moved to it's home
! There is but one gate in the fence at the
reservoir. This is always locked when
nobody is around at work. This morn
ing, however, the gate was unlocked, but
it was hooked. Little Amos must
have unlocked it, and walked in.
The bank inside the fence is less
than two feet wide, and he evidently slip
ped off of it. No blame, of course, can
be attached to anyone.

COMMISSION ASKED TO ACT.
Our Beard of Health Thinks the State
Ought to vaccinate the Cattle.
BRIpGEToN, n. J., July 10

BRIDGEToN, N. j., July 10, 1895.
State Dairy Commissioner, Trenton, ~. j.
DEAR SIR:-The Local Board of Health
spector, Mr.. Vandergrift, have been in
vestigating the disease called anthrax
among the horses and cattle in the lower
part of our county, and we find that it is
on the increase. Starting in one town.
ship it has spread to considerable ex-
tent into at least three or four townships
and among great many different herds.
If this is true as claimed by Pasteur
why not use it to a large extent in this
locality where this disease is so preva-
lent and so fatal? And in view of the
fact that the State of New Jersey appro-
PIRATES money to your Board for pur-
poses similar to this, why could you not
inoculate the cattle in this infected dis
trict with this anthrax vaccine at the
States expense? If you do not wish to
employ an expensive Veterinary we
have Veterinarians in this locality who
are fully capable of inoculating the cattle
and they could be employed much
cheaper.
In France it has decreased the annual
mortality in cattle from to Is per cent.
In Austro Hungary, from 10 to .05 per
cent.
The Veterinariesh have found no remedy
for this disease as yet. The Veterinary
of our Local Board has for the past week
been vaccinating the cattle with "Pas-
teur's Anthrax Vaccine" but it comes so
expensive that large majority of the
farmers have not the money to pay for
this preventive remedy. Pasteur claims
that the mortality from anthrax among
vaccinated animals is practically moth
ing.
In Spain from about 20 per cent. to be-
low per cent.
We think it necessary that you should
take some action in this matter. If you
desire to meet representative of our
Board at meeting of your Board, if you
will let me know when your Board meets
I will have representative there.
Trusting you will give this matter your
early attention, am
Yours respectfully,

President of Board of Health of the City
of Rridpet0n

ark is one of the former. He has i'll fact
made rapid strides forward. His friends
who have been in no haste to push his
candidacy, concluded that it was time to
say few words, and they have been say
ing them to some purpose. They say
that, while they have apparently been
dilatory, they have been quietly going
over the State with their ears to the
ground; which means, in plain terms,
that they have been listening to what the
people had to say. Now they come for
ward with the report that there is q very
decided demand for business man for
the Republican standard bearer. The
opinion that the business of the State has
been grossly neglected prevails. Ii de-
rives its strength from the evidence re-
Gently obtained that the State has been
outrageously robbed, Inundated, dis
graced; because largely OF the want of
business (honest business men, of course,l
at the head of affairs for some time past.
The necessity for q business man of
known capability and integrity is what
has brought franklin Murphy into
prominence as the right man for a place
where Just such service as he could and
would give as Governor.
When you hear these supporters Of Mr..
Murphy talk, you know that they mean
what they say when they affirm thai his
candidacy is growing and is going to
grow right along. They are not men who
lack either public experience or political
sagacity. They point to Mr.. Murphy as
a well defined, tangible and material suo-
cess is the result of his own unaided et-
forts, and proclaim that in his care the
executive department of the State would
be administered as carefully as he con-
duets his own private business.
Moreover, these earnest advocates OF
Mr.. Murphy's nomination say thathe has

PEN PICTURES.
Matters Political of Interest to the Peo-
pie of New Jersey

Matters Political of Interest to the Peo-
pie of New Jersey
TRENTON, July 1S.-The political tables
have been turned in New Jersey. This
year the demand for the Republican
nomination for Governor is a great many
times larger than the supply. With the
Democrat this position is reversed. Up to
date, no Democrat of known character
and prominence is eager to head his party
ticket. The indications are, as the
weather sharps would put it, that the
Democrats have raised their umbrellas.
The storm area, so far as they are con-
cerned, appears to have spread out all
over the State. AS to the Republicans
well, that's different.
Republican candidates are many. So
far the aspirants for the nomination, are
men Of ability, character and known
party fealty. Some say this one is in the
lead, some say another. Getting down to
a basis of fact, nobody knows who will
be honored by the nomination.
But one thing is certain-the Republi-
can party is waiting for the opportunity
81
be necessary, a rule to show why the peo-
pie should not make the nomination.
This fact and feature of the campaign is
already developed. 1t will be wisdom
for those who assume to lead to get right
into the ranks and keep step with the pro-
cesSion.
If the talk of those who contribute the
essential element of victor to party con-
tests indicates something, it means that
the next Republican State Convention
will be made up generally, as it should
be, of a class of men who represent the
Republican sentiment of the various sec
tions of the State which shall choose them
as delegates. This public sentiment also
indicates that patriotic motives rather
than individual preferences for cause or
otherwise, will award the nomination.
People therefore, who have axes to grind,
or political orphan court business to
transact, will be detected, even though
they wear winter ulsters of feXtraordinary
length.
This is the sort of sentiment which is
animating the Republican rank and file
from one end of the State to another.
There is more of it, and of the same
brand.
While the recognized leaders are chas-
ing each other and heroically trying to
get together in favor of this candidate or
that, the people are looking over the field.
In plain Saxon they are sizing up the can
didates. Ten days ago it didn't seem
to be very difficult to name the men
who were in the lead. Now it is
different. Some have gained and some
have lost. If that opinion which comes
uninstructed is worth anything-and it
ought to be worth {, great deal in Repub-
lican politics-Franklin Murphy. of New

Every Precaution Should be Taken
Against Anthrax.
Anthrax, the cattle disease which is
just now greatly perplexing the people of
Cumberland County, is very alarming
and every precaution should be taken
against it. E. w. Starn is very much
interested in the question, and has re-
ceived in reply to letter, the following
information:
WASHINGTON, D. G., July 20, 1895.
MIR. EDWIN w. STARN,
Fairton, Cumberland Co., n. j.
SIR:-Replying to your letter of the
18th instant, which has been referred to
| me, would advise that the Secretary of
the New Jersey State Board of Health,
DR.. Henry Mitchell, Trenton. n. j., be at
once notified regarding the disease pre-
valent in your vicinity among horses and
cattle, and supposed to be anthrax.
This is an infectious disease caused bya
| specific bacteria known as anthrax
bactilh, and is extremely fatal to horses
and cattle and may be communicated to
persons. 1t is exceedingly important
that the carcasses of all animals which die
from the disease should be at once burned
or buried on the spot i'll order to destroy
the infectious material contained in the
carcaSses. 1t the carcaSseS are buried
they should be covered with lime and the
place fenced so that other cattle may not
come in the vicinity. The disease is so
rapidly fatal that treatment is of little
value, but it is sometimes found bene-
ticial on animals which have been eN-
posed to it to have them sponged with
solution of carbolic acid using one part
crude carbolic acid to 20 parts of
water Such animals should also re-
ceive daily J OF. of sulphite of soda
and two drams of chlorate of potash
dissolved in one pint of water.
II it is necessary TO move the carcasses of
dead animals the ground over which they
have been moved should be sprinkled
with lime, and if any portions of the We
hlcle becomes stained with blood wash
them with per cent solution of cloride
of lime, using 3 OF. to 2 quarts OF water.
In no case should dogs or wild animals
be allowed access to the carcasses, and
persons with scratches or wounds upon
their hands should not handle them.
Cattle should be excluded from pastures
which are known to be infected Other
sanitary precautions should be inaugur-
ated as required.
The exact character of the disease
should first be determined, and If it
proves to be an outbreak of anthrax vig-
orous precautions must be taken against
It's spread. Y cry respectfully,
ID. IL. SALMON,
Chief of Bureau.
