CL. .ANDERS PLAGUE
County Board of Health
Discuss the Prevalence
of This Dread Dis
ease.

The matter of the prevalence Of CLAN
ders among the horses of North Hudson
was the topic of lengthy discussion at
yesterday afternoons meeting of the
County Health Board.
The fact that another case had been
reported yesterday by Veterinarian D. G.
Peterson in the stable of Max Erick, at
No. 32S Mon street, Union Hill, caused
additional alarm, and it was decided to
request the authorities of the different
municipalities of the county to have all
watering troughs remoed from the streets
at once, as it is believed that they are
largely responsible for the spread of the
dreaded equine disease. If this is not
done at once the County Board will take
action and remoe and destroy the
troughs.
Clerk Rooney stated that he had COM
municated with the New York Depart
ment of Haelth relative to the Treatment
of glanders and had received reply
to the effect that when. horse is afflict-
ed with the disease he should promptly
be destroyed and a test with maelein
made on the other horses in the vicinity
If. through a rise in temperature, the
animals SO subjected to test, show symp-
toms of the glanders they should also be
destroyed at once. The stalls of tht
stable in which the diseased animal was
should be burned, ~ woodwork washed
with bi-chloride anAsqhe harness blankets
etc, diainfsetsd tslpsygbls.

BURLINGTON, May s, 1908. - THE
Yahoo boys" veterans of the civil war,
who served at the Twenty third New
Jersey Regiment, held their annual re-
union yesterday at the home of their old
commander, General e. Burd Grubb, at
Edgewater Park.
The drizzling rain of the early morn
ing. which threatened to mar the out
door exercises, only added freshness to
the spring time beauty of the spacious
grounds when the sun finally broke
through the clouds.
The reunion also marks the fortieth
anniversary of the battle of Salem
Church, Va. in which 'sthe Yahoo boys,
led by General Grubb, distinguished
themselves.
Among the guests today was General
Munford, confederate officer, who
fought under Lee in this battle. The
first of the veterans to arrive was Joseph
Ridgway Post No. 2, G. A. r. The
Yahoo boys in command of Captain
Kirkbride, arrived about ten o'clock and.
led by brass band, marched from the
railroad station to the generals home to
the inspiring air of Marching Through
Georgia.
General Grubb met the men, and. af-
ter greetings on both sides were over, he
presented each with souvenir deed, the
fac similie Of the original deed Of fifty
five acres of the battle ground at Salem
Church, which the General recently pur-
chased and presented to the associa-
ton.
Many of the veterans brought their
wives and families with them, and the
latter We're royalty entertained by Mrs.
Grubb. Tables, over 200 feet long, were
erected on the lawn, and at these lunch
and refreshments were served. Follow
ing the business meeting held in the af-
ternoon, speeches were made by Charles
Emory Smith, General Grnbb, Captain
Kirkbfide, Chaplain Abbott, Of the
Twenty-third, and Captain John 9.
Groome, Of the First City Troop Of Phil
adelphia and others.

Town Treasurer of Harrison
Says School Trustee
Coogan Injured His
Character.
CHARGED SHORTAGE IN FUNDS
Defendant Pleads Guilty to
the Words But Says They
Were Falsely In
terpreted.

No case from the western section OF
the county evere tried in the Hudson
Courts attracted as much attention and
aroused as much interest as did the suit
instituted by Town Treasurer Edward }.
Grace of Harrison to secure damages
from School Trustee John f. Coogan Of
the same town, for alleged slanderous re-
marks made by the latter in the presence
of a number of reputable citizens in the
bar room of Elberon Hall, Harrison on
the night of December 1, 1901.
From the time the Court House bell
rang at ten o'clock in the morning un-
til 4.45 o'clock in the afternoon when the
taking of testimony in the case was con-
cluded and Judge Jonathan Dixon de-
clared the Court adjourned for the day,
the Supreme Court room was crowded
with West Hudson politicians, taxpayers
and school teachers summoned as wit
nesses or attending out of curiosity to
hear the legal inquiry into the sensational
charges alleged to have been made by
Mr.. Coogan against Mr.. Rice.
The plaintiff sat by the side of his
counsel, Senator Robert S. Hudspeth,
and frequently suggested the questions
asked by the lawyer. On the opposite
side of the table directly at the back of
Mr.. Grace and his counsel Mr.. Coogan
sat beside lawyer Albert G. Wall, of
Vredenbusgh, Wall and Van Winkle, who
conducted the defence.
In the matter of number of witnesses
and the positiveness of their testimony
the plaintiffs case was strong one.
Councilman John J. Lee of Harrison
the star witness for the plaintiff.
To the surprise of many the defence
did not deny the charges or set up plea
of justification but was content to try
and prove that "a false intrepreta ton had
been put on the words used by Mr.. Coo
gan.
When called as a witness for the de-
fence Mr.. Coogan declared: 81 never in
tended to say anything that would re-
feet on Mr.. Grace's honesty. / have
always considered him an honest man
and do so at the present time"
As will be remembered, ON the night
of December /, 1901, Mr. Coogan was
talking with number Of prominent citi-
zens in Elberon Hall, in that town, when
is also alleged that the school trustee
was some FIVE or six thousand dollars
short in moneys which he should have
in his possession as town treasurer 1t
is also ALLEGED that the school trustee
declared that he would demand Sena-
torial inestigation ints the financial af-
fairs of the town, and that afterwards
he visited some of the treasurer's bonds
men and made insinuations rejecting on
the honesty of that official.
Mr.. Grace, when he. heard of the oc-
currence, demanded retraction. and
Mr.. Coogan replied in a letter which
was equivocal aud not retraction salts
