corners the pointed stakes that hold

THE CAD FLY GRUB.
1t Is Now Making It's Appearance and
Should BE Differentiated as
Quickly as Possible.

Many of our readers are doubtless at
a loss to know what the "bunches"
are that they find upon the backs OF
their cattle at this time of year, and
which contains a large. disgusting grub
The grub in question is the Aarva OF the
CAD fly of the OK (hypodermis bovis)
and is deposited under the skin in the
shape OF an egg at the time in summer
when the cattle are seen to dash about
the pasture in alright. The grabs are
the cause of an immense amount OF ir-
ritation to the cattle and also cause a
serious damage to the: ide for the pur-
poses of the tanner. Thef'warbles" as
the tumors are called may be prevented
witha fair amount of success by smear
ing the backs of the cattle with some
bad-smelinC substance, as crude car
bolic acid one part, fish oil eight parts.
The backs of the cattle should be
washed occasionally, during fly time
with strong salt water, as this has been
found to prove etficacious in destroy
ing at least a portion of the eggs de-
posted by the fly.
The mature grub may be squeezed
out by applying nut-key over the
tumor. then press and pop goes the
MARBLE. The grub should be destroyed
as soon as it has been removed else il

shape of a full-grown. egg-depositing
CAD fly. Where the grubs are not sutli-
GENTLY developed to allow of their be
ing squeezed out they may be destroyed
by applying little mercurial oint-
ment over the tumor; but where this is
done care must be taken to keep the
cattle so treated separate, as the oint-
msnt would prove poisonous if licked

IRISH PARTY REUNION.
REDMOND AND DILLON APPEAR ON
THE SAME STAGE.

MANCHESTER, May 13-John E. Red
mond, seasonal chairman of the United
Irish party, and John Dillon, former
chairman of the then Dillon W ng of Irish
parliamentarians, appeared here today
on the same platform al the Irish demon
stration in Free Trade hall. Mr.. Red
mond said the meeting celebrated the
close of disastrous chapter in Irish
history For the first time in a decade
he had the pleasure, he remarked, of
standing upon the same platform with
Mr. Dillon, whose presence proved the
genuineness of the reunion.
'Much remains to be done,' said the
speaker, "but the Irish parliamentary
party is determined to let the dead past
bury its dead. At the very moment, after
the chivalrous reception to the queen in
Ireland, when an opportunity presented
itself to cement the feeling between the
two countries, Lord Salisbury has m s.
represented Irish claims with cynical and
brutal frankness, offering an absolutely
non possumus to the moderate demands
of Ireland.
His lordship spoke Of dangers ahead
for the empire. If the forces he men
toned were to dash on British shores

be received as enemies or invaders. He
advocated the formation of rife clubs,
but he will not permit Ireland to enlist
volunteers to bear arms. His proposal
therefore is an insult to Ireland, and, so
far as the rest of the empire Is concern
ed, it is puerile and absurd.
.Irishmen can now see more clearly
than ever the work they have to under
take. This task is TO make 1t incon-
venient and dangerous to withhold Irish
rights. 1t is not by concihation and ap-
peals to loyalty that the grievances of
Ireland will be remedied."
Mr. Dillon, who followed, referred to
the pleasure he felt in meeting Mr.. Red
mond on common ground, and sa d that
the real significance of the reunion would
not be understood until after the general
elections.
The meeting adopted with enthusiasm
resolutions congratulating the party on
reunion, pledging loyal support to the
policy inaugurated by Parnell, and call
ing upon the Irish people to support the

TEN STORES ALSO BURNED
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY PEOPLE
RENDERED HOMELESS BY
THE FLAMES
NO CASUALTIES REPORTED
The Loss Estimated at 100000,
but This Amount Is Partially
Covered by Insurance
The Details.

CAMDEN, N. J., May 13.-Fire today,
which broke out in the Farmers Market
house at Fifth and Federal streets, com
pletely destroyed that building, ten stores
and about fifty small dwellings, causing
loss estimated at $4,000 and rendering
homeless about $50 persons. These home
less people are tonight quartered in the
armory building and are being fed at the
expense of the city.
Boys, either accidentally or purposely,
set fire to lot of tarred lumber which
had been stored for use by the Bell Tele-
phone company. They were playing there
shortly before the fire broke out. The
flames spread rapidly TO the grease
soaked market house and communicated
to a row of stores in the rear, at the
same time eating their way into Federal
street and entering the old postofhce build
ing adjoining and partly destroyed it.
This building had been abandoned by the
government only few weeks ago.
AID FROM PHILADELPHIA
The chief of the Camden fire department
early realized that the fire was beyond
the control of his limited force and the
fire department Of Philadelphia was call
ed upon for assistance and sent four COM
panies. The flames leaped across Fifth
street, and a second row of small houses
there were soon blazing and were soon
destroyed. The fire followed its course
to Federal street, on the east side of
Fifth. When the chemical laboratory Of
William Cowgirl caught there were Sc
ries Of explosions. The Cowgirl estab-
lishment was gutted. The principal losses
were the Farmers market, $3.50, 600; Cow
gill chemical laboratory, $4,000; M. L.
Mowns, florist. $1,000; j. Il. Blake, cloth
ing, $500; Harry Grosscup, dwelling.
$3 O0O;; w. 4. Gibson, grocery, $1,000, and
w II. Decker umbrellas, $1,000.
Most of the others to suffer were small
property owners. Many of the occupants
of the dwellings lost all their household
effects. The losses are partly covered by
insurance.

TERRIBLE SEXTON TRAGEDY.
Father Is Killed before His Chill
dren's Ewes

Patrick Sexton, living at 790 Dayton
avenue, driving with four Of his young
children, who narrowly escaped a like
fate, was instantly killed by section of
wind hurled sidewalk on Dale street, near
the bridge over the Great Northern rail-
road tracks, during the severe storm
that passed over the city at o'clock last
evening. Patrick Sexton Jr, an eight
year-old son, and Mary Sexton, a six
year-old daughter. were seriously though
not fatally injured, while Catherine Sex
ton, a baby, and Henry Sexton the old
est boy, escaped without being hurt. A
section of sidewalk, driven with the force
of the cyclonic wind accompanying the
storm, struck Mr. Sexton on the right
side of the head. crushing his skull. The
carriage was overturned and the occu-
pants buried in the wreckage. The two
injured children were doubtless hurt by
being pinioned under the debris, as their
wounds were not of a nature such as
would have been made had they been
struck by the timbers that killed their
father.
The tragic death of Mr.. Sexton is made
extremely pathetic by reason of his wife's
condition. Mr.. Sexton had been out on
the road and just returned to the city

ONE MORE BODY TAKEN FROM THE
B. & o. WRECK.

PHILADELPHIA, May 13-Search for
bodies in the Bait more & Ohio railroad
tunnel near the Green street entrance to
Fairmount Park, in which two freight
trains collided at midnight Friday, still
continues, and up to a late hour tonight
only one body had been found. When the

from exploding oil cars and the flames
were not extinguished until today, when
the wreck crews were enabled to enter
the tunnel. The body found is that Of
Fireman w Hinchman, Of this city.
The remains of EngiHeer Laub are still
under the wreck. AS get there is no
evidence to show that any tramps were
caught and killed in che wreck. The
Baltimore & Ohio officials expect to have
the tunnel opened to traffic tomorrow, if
it is found the roof fsthe tunnel has not
been weakened by explosions and heat

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY
OUTLINE OF THB WORK TO BE
Considered AT ST. LOUIS.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 13.-In this city
on Thursday next the Presbyterian gen
eral assembly will meet in the Washing
ton and Compton Avenue Presbyterian
church. Eminent divines and laymen to
the number of about 1000 will be pres
ent.
Only once before, in 1874, has the as
sembly met in this city. One of the
most important matters to be brought
up is the question as to whether or not
the Westminster confession of faith shall
be revised. This is a question that is
disturbing large part of the Presby-
terian church.
The following are the sections in the
confession to which it IS said exception
is taken:
8. By decree of God, for the manifes-
tation of His glory, some men and angels
are predestined to everlasting life and
others foreOrdained unto everlasting
death.
4. These angels and men thus predes-
tinated and foreordained are particularly
and unchangeably designed; and their
number is so certain and definite that it
can not be either increased or diminished.
Several presbyteries have asked spe-
cfally that the assembly should appoint
a committee to consider the whole ques-
ton of creed revision, while others de-
sire simply that a new creed should be
ordered, leaving the old one untouched, to
be preserved intact an a historical doc
ument, while the new version shall be
the working creed of the church. These
overtures will all be referred to the COM
mittee on bills and overtures, of which
the Rev. Dr. Robert f. Sample, of New
| York, will be the chairman. A report
will be presented to the assembly, and
steps may be taken which shall lead to
new expansion of Presbyterian faith.
Another matter of interest will be the
much-discussed case of S. Herman
Warza WAX, the converted Jew, whose
troubles have been aired in the courts
of the church for several years.
Other overtures relate to the office of
the stated clerk of the assembly, the
Rev. DR.. William H. Roberts, who has
held that position for sixteen years. The
salary up TO last year was $1,000, but
when it was increased to $4,000, other
eyes were turned toward the Office, which
| is permanent. Efforts have been fire.
quently made to wrest 1t from DR.. Rob
ertsi and they will be renewed again at
this meeting.
Rev. George B. Stewart, president of
the Auburn Theological seminary, but
formerly of Harrisburg; the Rev. DR..
Daniel w. Fisher, of Hanover, Ind; the
Rev. DR.. William McKfbbin, of Cincin-
natl, and the Rev. DIR. Charles A. Dickey,
of Philadelphia, are among those who
have been put forward for the office by
their friends.

sultry and thousands OF pleasure seekers
among them Patrick Sexton and family,
had sought Lake Como. There had been
a gale all day. but it did not cool things
perceptibly until evening, when there was
a sudden drop in temperature about I
o'clock. The cloud forma tions which had
been more or less uncertain during the

western sky, and the throngs at the

to get home.
Scarcely had o'clock struck than the
