Peculiar Disease of Cows,

Farmers in different parts of the
county have been alarmed recently about
a peculiar disease that has attacked
many of their COWS. In several cases
cattle have died within five or six hours
of the time they are taken sick. Miss
NJ. NJ. Kramer, whose farm is between
Exchange and White Hall, lost five cows
in this way, and fifteen or sixteen be-
longing to other farmers i'll that section
and around Washingtonville have died.
DIR. J. o. Reed, of this city, who was
called to examine Miss Kramer's stock
could find no signs of any contagious
disease, as was feared; but believes that
the trouble is disease of the stomach
that sometimes attacks cattle to which
corn stalks are fed too freely.

ACCIDENT AT
READING MILL.
Bar of Iron run through the wrong Pass
of the Roll.

While working at one of the rolls In
the twelve inch mill at the Reading Iron
works about $50 O'Clock on Saturday
afternoon, Arthur G. Hahn, of Walnut
street, was cut on the right arm and
badly burned about the neck, arm and
chest.
Mr.. Hahn is employed as "stran-
ner" and was in the act of taking bar
of iron from one side of the roll. The
workman at the other end made mis-
take and entered the iron at the wrong
"pass."
When the red-hot bar emerged from
the roll the mistake in passing caused it
to twist and fly around so quickly that
Mr.. Hahn could not dodge it.
The iron cut to the bone through the
muscle at the thickest part of his right
arm, not quite half way from the should
er to the elbow.
One of the largest branches of the
main artery of the arm was severed,
causing profuse hemorrhage. The flesh
was also burned for about half an inch
on each side of the cut.
In twisting around, the bar passed over
the injured mans chest, neck and arm,
burning the surface severely; but the
physician states that these burns will
rapidly heal without serious results.
Mr. Hahn displayed remarkable nerve.
He assisted in doing up his arm with
towel, to reduce the hemorrhage. and
then he walked to DIR. T. b. Winter
steens Office, where the wound was
dressed.
Without taking an anaesthetic, the
injured man lay, without f1inching, for
over an hour while the physician took
about twenty-five stitches to draw the
severed muscle together.
DR.. Wintersteen hopes that the
injury will heal SO that the full use of
the arm will be recovered; but it will
probably be two months or more be-
fore the injured man will be able to re-
turn TO work.

Council Struck Ponular Note.

AS far as can be learned the members
of the Council struck popular note on
Friday night, when they directed the
police authorities to enforce the ordi-
nance directing that all yagrants found
within the limits of the Borough be ar
rested and put to work.
The general opinion was that it is a
step in the right direction, for which
the Councilmen are to be commended.
The only criticism of the resolution that
was heard was that made by city offic-
ial, who thought that the Council did
not 60 quite far enough; but that the
resolution should have specified the ma
ture of the work at which tramps are
to be employed, and provided for it, de-
signaling the officer who shall oversee
the work. The ordinance to be enforc-
ed provides that the police officials of
the borough shall arrest all vagrants
found in the Borough, who shall
be arraigned before the Burgess
or Justice-of- f-the-Peace; and on
being convicted of vagrancy they shall be
fined not less than So nor more than s5,
or be sentenced to the lookup and COM
PEELED to work on the street or other
public work not to exceed five days. The
ordinance provides that it shall not ap-
ply to females, minors under sixteen
years old, blind, deaf or dumb persons,
nor to any manned or crippled person
nor to any one who, through physical
weakness, is unable 10 perform manual
labor
If the same rule could be applied to
the tramps who seek shelter at the Poor
Farm, much more might be accomplish
ed.
Every night from one to half dozen
"hoboes" lodge in the old Poor House
building. They are careful to apply too
late for any work. They are furnished
with supper, but many of them sneak
away without breakfast, when they
learn that they will have to work for it.
A few of the tramps are crippled or in
firm, but large majority of them are
able bodied young men from eighteen tc
thirty years old. When they make q
mistake and apply too early in the at
ternoon, few of them will work for their
lodging and supper, preferring to seek
for assistance elsewhere.
Superintendent Chestnut strongly ad
vocates some system whereby tramps
can be arrested'and put to work in {
chain gang in the townships as well al
| in the borough! rather than to follow
the present system, which encourages
tramps to come to this part of the
country

Death Due to Silver Plate"-ais Wife
is in Town for the Winter.

For years "Jimmie" and Mary Kane
have been well known characters in this
part Of the country. They have usually
wintered at the Poor Farm, and during
the summer they have tramped around
the country, for several years wheeling
their small child in baby carriage on
their wanderings,
Mrs. Kane has come to town again for
the winter, and says that her husband
died seven weeks ago at Sugar Creek
Friday she sought the assistance of
the county officials in trying to establish
her identity, so that she can secure the
money on 'Jimmie's" pension check
that has come since he died.
Mr.. Kane died, she says, from "the
same old omplaint-silver plate" He
had silver plate in his head, where he
received gun-shot wound during the
war He always suffered more or less
from this injury, because of which he
drew pension.

Smallest Number of Inmates at the Poor
House for Eleven Years.

Superintendent of the Poor Farm
David Chestnut was Sunday afternoon
congratulating Mahoning township, the
Borough of Danville and himself on the
fact that the number of inmates at the
Poor House is the smallest that it has
been during the eleven years of his sup
erintendency.
Since the death of George A. Grimes
last Wednesday, only eleven persons
have been cared for at public expense at
that institution.
The average for the eleven years has
been twenty-four. As high as thirty-two
have been in the Poor House at one
time
The number of inmates is always much
less in the summer than in the winter,
but during the summer there has never
been less than thirteen to be cared for.
Mr.. Chesnut's fluctuations were soon
ended however. Less than half an hour
after he made the statement Sunday
afternoon. Mary Kane and her little boy
knocked at the gates of the institution,
seeking for their regular winter support
at the public expense.
