New YORK, Dec. 30.-A family Of
four persons were asphyxiated at their
home in the Northern portion Of this
city today. Two are dead and an.
other is likely to die. John Lichten-
Der, cabinet maker, his wife Lizzie
and their two children, Willis, %
months old, and Jacob, II weeks old,
comprised the family, who occupied
four rooms at the rear Of Ackersport
Morris Hotel. When Lichtenberg
was missed from MS bench today

dren were found dead and the parents
unconscious. The physicians who
were called decided that asphyxiation
was the cause, and that Mrs. Lichten-
berg would probably die. The origin
of the noxious gas, however, has not
heen discovered.

oIs&ASE OF SWINE.
10, Cbo,o-o I'll Swine Plague--No Cure
,Ghese Diseases.

CLEMSON Coz hEGE, S. c., Dec. a1.-
Ths~s~l---:-Gastry of this State is in
creasing daily in importance. OF The
many diseases which are apt to inter
fere seriously with this profitable en-
terprise three are two which are Of
special interest to those engaged II
that business, viz: Hog cholera anc
swine plague. Hog cholera and swine
plague are two diseases which up t
this moment are practically incura
bic. These diseases are produced each
by a particular microscopical plant
that is, a plant so small that it can
only be seen with a powerful micro
scope. The animal becomes infect
ed either by food or by inhaling
the cause of cholera or swine plague
and in due time succumbs to the at
tack of the disease while those moi
dying will never recover sufficiently
to be of any value. There is little
doubt that these two diseases have re
ceived more attention from the best
veterinary talent, not only Of this
country, but Of Europe also, than any
other disease, of ike character. In
swine plague, the lungs are primarily
attacked but in hog cholera the large
intestines are especially diseased as in
almost all cases ulcers are found in
them. This affection resembles AsiaJ-
ic cholera, or dysentery of the hui
man. While we can destroy the lit
tie germs, or plants causing those hog
diseases Theoretically, it is impossible
to reach them after they have once
entered the body of an animal, and
prevention therefore, is of utmost i'm
portance in this trouble. The follow
ing points if carefully executed will
mostly prevent an outbreak of hog
cholera even if in immediate neigh
borhood of herd.
l. No pig should be bought from a
herd until one year of the last case of
cholera in that herd.
2. Hogs should not be allowed to
drink from a stream on the upper
part OF which herd is located which
has had or has cholera.
3. Anything coming from infected
grounds, that is, farm implements,
dogs, people, ETC., must not be per-
mitted to enter premises free from
cholera. This is necessary, as the
germs producing the diseases are con-
veyed by them to the uninfected
place.
4. Repeated disintection OF the
premises best done by spreading slak-
ed lime about the premises and fre.
ouent securing OF all feeding uten-
sils with boiling water.
Experiments have been made to
prevent hog cholera by inoculating
hogs with certain preparation known
as hog cholera serum, but at the pres
ent momement the results obtained by
that method of incubation do not
warrant its general introduction, and
the best way to prevent the lntroduc-
ton or spread of this disease is by the
means mentioned above.

1t is easily practicable to repeat the

1t is not necessary to write to Mr..

necessary is for the owner OF the hick-

employ some one who does under
