Impressive Ceremony Marks
Gov. Aliens Inauguration

San Juan de Puerto Rico. May g.
The Inauguration of Charles Herbert
Allen, formerly assistant secretary OF
the United StaAes navy. as first Amer
lean civil governor OF the Island Of
Puerto Rico, took place yesterday. The
ceremony was most impressive.
Some of the Americans who looked
on commented upon en- apparent lack
of enthusiasm on the part OF the
Porto Ricans. This was probably
more apparent than real. In any event
the lack of demonstrativeness should
be attributed to their training for four
centuries under an oppressive regime,
which held them in restraint and did
not allow them a free expression OF
emotion. Only now are they beginning
to realize the changed order Of things
and this only a small degree. A city
of 10000 might have been expected to
turn out a larger crowd, especially as
all the business houses were closed.
There was a display of national colors
from a number of private houses, but
nothing that would compare, for in
stance, with the displays Of holidays
and Sundays ~ months ago, when a
Spanish flag floated over every house,

MORRISON WAS SHOT
IN PECULIAR FASHION

William p. Morrison, clerk OF City
Council, has scar on his forehead
over the right eye, which he sustained
in a peculiar manner. The wound was
not inflicted with murderous intent,
nor was it inflicted directly by any
body.
While crossing Eighth street at Tat
nall about 7.30 o'clock last evening
Mr. Morrison received the wound, and
as there occurred an explosion under a
north-bound car, possibly the ball
came from that source. The cartridge
evidently had been placed on the ear
track by boy of the neighborhood.
Although Mr.. Morrison's wound is
not a serious one, it bled profusely AT
first it was believed that the ball had
entered his head, but when William l..
Sullivan, a barber at No. 219 West
Eighth street, picked the bullet off the
floor OF his shop after it had crashed
through the bulk window, the ex
tremely serious apprehensions Of Mr..
Morrison we're dispelled. The Police
Department is endeavoring to ascertain
the name Of the person who rlaeed the
cartridge On the track

complaints OF rust and smut in oats
but generally the crop is very fine aud
heavy. 1t is being well secured and in

is very promising. Beans vary some
what but for the most part are doing
well. Sugar beats continue to make
good growth and remain promising.

for fall wheat and rye is quite general

good condition. Peaches are ripening

The Swine Plague.

The state sanitary live stock COM
mission is making a determined effort
to stamp out the swine plague or hog
cholera in this snate. President Brown,
of the live stock commission. who was
in Lansing on the sth, asserted that
the disease has cost the farmers OF
Michigan hundreds of thousands of
dollars, the losses in single township
often aggregating $4,000 or $4,000.
While there is no recognized cure for
the disease it is the opinion of the COM
mission that by intelligent restriction
and the employment of sanitary meth
DDS the ravages of the disease may be
prevented to q great extent The COM
mission has therefore secured an allow
auce from the state board of auditors
for the purpose of printing circulars
describing the disease, giving methods
of preventing infection, care of animals
and disinfection of premises. These
circulars will be placed in the hands OF
supervisors whose duties under the law
are to take every possible step to limit
the spread of the disease whenever
notified of an outbreak.
