CASES ,QF BLACK LEG.

CASES saQF BLACK LE9.
The fxtal cattle disease of black
leg has broken out in tho herd
owned by Jas. Hines just north OF
this city.
Nh. Hines has already lost three
caves by the deadly malady and it
is feared that still others may
become infected. The disease is
not communicated from one animal
to another by breathing tho germs
nor even by association in the Same
pasture or barn, but by the germs
becoming implanted in All abrasion
Of the skin or a wound on the
animal to be infected. Hence tho
contagion need not necessarily run
through an entire herd.
The diseased is bred in low, damp
places; which condition is fulfilled
in Mr.. Hines farm. The recent
except onally damp weather ia
thought to account for the break
ing out of disease among Mr.. Hines
cattle. Conditions under which
hay ferments are very conducive to
the disease Of black leg.
The disearse is almost certainly
fatat to an animal which becomes
infected, as it also is to human
beings.
Of late vaccination has been
practiced with some success and il
the best known means Of combat
ing the disease where it has gained
q foothold. A we'll known authori-
ty states that farmers whose land
lies low, should during wet seasons
take the precaution to keep their
cattle on high and dry ground for
the prevention of black leg-Pipe-

POLICE CAPTAINS WIN.
COURT UPHoLDs APPOINTMENTS WHICH
WERE ATTACKED.

Nineteen police captains apparently are made
secure in their positions by decision of the
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court In
Brooklyn which was handed down yesterday
The decision overturns the action OF the Special
Term which overruled demurrers by three Of the
captains TO a suit brought by J. Warren Greene
as a taxpayer to have their promotion from the
rank Of sergeant set aside. The decision Of the
Appellate Division. written by Justice Wood
ward and concurred in by all the other justices
answers the allegations in Mr.. Greenes suit in
part follows:
So far as appears from the pleadings. the de
PENDANTS were among number of police ser
geants who underwent examination for pro-
motion to the positions Of captain they re-
ceived markings which entitled them TO certih-
cation upon the list Of eligibles, and they were
duly appointed from such eligible lists and have
which they. have been appointed. This eXamlna-
ton was conducted by the municipal civil ser
vice Commission, and the only charge OF conduct
of fraudulent nature is that the Police Board,
to whom the Civil Service Commissioners applied
for information to the standing of the appli-
cants. made returns which gave to these de-
PENDANTS undue advantage in the examlna-
tons. There is no allegation that the civil Ser
vice Commissioners knew that these reports
were false or untrue, or that they in anyWlse
connived at such alleged untrue statements, or
that these defendants were in any way involved
in the alleged fraudulent transaction. Under
these circumstances are unable to discover
that the plaintiff as a taxpayer, has pleaded
cause of action as against the demurring de-
PENDANTS.
The nineteen captains affected by the decision
are Edward J. Kenney, jefferson Deevy, John
Mara. Michael German. Edward Walsh, Edward

renee ]. Murphy John Buchanan, John Cooney'
John F. Flood Michael E Foody. Francis j.

dicted for neglect of duty.
