Quarantine the Hogs.

Secretary Wilson, of the Agricultural De
partment, is going to try new method of
fighting hog choera. Hog cholera cost the
people of Iowa SIS ,00O,0 900 last year,
and other States suffered severely. In a
short time three parties will be sent out
by the Department-one to the North, one
to the West and the third TO the South.
Each will choose a locality where the
disease Is breaking out and proceed in this
heroic fashion: Buy up the hogs in the
affected district, kill them, burn their car
cases, disinfect all the premises, quar-
antine, Then watch the effect. If the
treatment appears to check the spread
of the contagion it win then become SIM
ply a question of cost. Will it be pTacti-
cable from a financial point OF view to
persist in this work till hog cholera is
broken up, as pleuro- pneumonia was crush
ed out? At any rate, Secretary Wilson
thinks the experiment good one TO try.
He says he would much prefer using money
in this way to turning it back into the

GAMBLING AT FIT. MCPHERSON.
Society Men Indicted for Playing
Cards With Officers.

The court-martial of Capt. Romeyn for
knocking down Lieut.. O'Brien on the pa
rade ground is not the only topic Of gos
sip at Fort Mcpherson, near Atlanta
Scarcely less attention has been drawn to
the indictment for gambling found in the
Georgia State courts against twenty or
thirty OF the most prominent young men of
Atlanta for INDUCING in games of hazard
on the grounds of the fort with the officers
attached thereto.
1t is said that ladies are also con
nected with this affair. This case, 1T is
understood, is to come up before the
State courts at Atlanta next week. 1t is
claimed in behalf of the accused that,
waving all questions of fact, it is a matter
over which the State authorities have nc
particle Of jurisdiction. This point will
be set up at the proper time.
This view i s entirely sustained in Army
circles here. 1t was said at the War Depart
ment that, as in all cases where forts on
military reservations have been estab-
lished, the State of Georgia has coded to
the United States exclusive jurisdiction
over all the teTntoryincluded in the grounds
of Fort Mcpherson, and the State can take
no cognizance of alleged offenseS against
local laws unless the General Government,
for reasons which it may deem proper
consents thereto. Therefore, 1t is held
the proceedings must be abandoned against
the gay CHANDELIERS, and they must he left
to he dealt with by the United States court
for that district, should the Judge of the
same be disposed to take any action.
