SELLING GOATS MEAT.
OF Them Slaughtered and
Placed on the Chicago Market aud
sold Good Mutton.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The Daily News
slaughtered and placed upon the mar
Hets of Chicago and sold as 10 1tton by
some packers at the stock yards. This
traffic is carried on most extensively
during he winter and early spring up
to and including the month of April.
The goats and kids are principally of
the Angora kind and come from the
northwest, while few are shipped in
from the south. The latter are of the
common goat species and do not lind
as ready sale as the .Angoras.
Besides being very palatable as
food, the Angora goat and kid are used
for other purposes. The skins of the
goats are used for making floor mats
and robes for babies, while the skin
of the kid is used for trimming furs-
DR.. w. S Devoe, of the bureau of
animal industry, when asked Friday
III regard to goats being sold for NUT
ton, said: They certainly are quite
free from disease, are fat and make ex-
ccllent eating. OF course the very
common billy goat would have a
tendency to be strong and have a bad
odor. There is no law to prevent them
being sold, and when we find them in
the packing houses they are inspected
the same As any other carcass
The records at the yards show that
some weeks as high as 5000 goats have
been received
WAeHINGroN, Aug. 5.-Rcferring to
the reports that goat meat is being sold
in some of the western cities as NUT
ton, DR.. Salmon, chief OF the bureau
OF animal industry, said Friday that
the law provided only for the inspec-
ton of cattle, sheep and hogs, ana that
nothing short Of congressional action
would remedy the defect. DR.. Salmon
Said, however, that ne did not antici-
pate much danger from the use of
goat meat, as goats were generally
healthy animals.

A BLACK REPUBLIC.
Leading Havana Merchant Says If Cuba

HAVANA, Aug. "A leading Havana
merchant, a Cuban, having business
connections with most of the cities of
the island and who claims to be we'll
posted regarding Cuban affairs, said
Sunday that universal suffrage in Gu
ba would mean n black republic in the
near future, and that the only means
of preventing it will be the incorpora-
ton of the island as possession of the
United States as state, territory ~
colony, leading to American immig-a.
ton, inter-marriages, the enrich ment
OF insular blood and the improve ment
of the population. In his Judgment
Cuba is otherwise doomed to become
another Hayti.
His assertions are based on the fact
that in population not exceeding
1850, 900 with a voting capacity of 4OO,-
OOO the Spaniards number ouly 80. 600.
the white Cubans 125, 600. those claim.
ing 20 be white $4,000. while the
blacks number 200. 600 in voting
strength. His theory is that more than
half the Spaniards under a system of
universal suffrage would not vote and
That the number who would vote must
inevitably diminish each year.

The Maine Central railroad Sunday
ran excursions to Bar Harbor from all

traction being the war ships which
were expected Sunday. All the morn
ing long trains packed with excursion
lists were rushing to Bar Harbor. The
train which left Bangor at S:25 con-
sisted of - cars jammed with people.
At Mount Desert ferry, the terminus
Of the line, the train is left for the
boat for an eight mile sail to Bar Har-
Dor. From the wharf a slip or gang
plank 40 feet long and 10 feet wide led
up to the boat. The slip was hinged
at the inner end, was raised or lowered
to suit the tide.
The wharf extends on both sides of
the lush with the end Of the wooden
gang plank. Five timbers 4 by II
inches, set vertically, ran the length
of the plank and these were crossed
by two inch planlling. 1t is said that
there was no support for the plank be-
tween the hinges at the outer end.
When the excursion train from Ban
gor arrived at the ferry there was n
rush for the steamer Sapphet. The
first few passengers had crossed the
gang plank safely, and it is estimated
that 200 people were massed on the
plank. Suddenly they felt the plank
give way beneath them. The lone
timber supporting the plank broke in
the middle. The hinges held up one
end and the chain the other, while the
broken end of the plank dropped, and
a struggling, screaming mass of hui
manity was plunged into the water, 10
feet below the wharf. few chung to
the inclined sides of the plank. but at
least 40 were struggling in the water.
The piling Of the wharf partially
penned them in on three sides and the
boat at the wharf closed the outer end
of the opening.
