Many Cattle Dying.

Those who are residing on the lower
farms near the marshes in Milford
Neck, are having considerable trouble
with their herds of cattle and their
horses and mules. A disease known in
the veterinary world as anthrax - is
visiting nearly every farmer in the Sec
tion mentioned, and many cattle aud
horses and mules are dying. The dis
ease has the following symptoms :
Slobbering at the mouth, swelling above
and below the eyes, and other parts of
the body, and when once its germs af-
fects a cow, horse or mule, curing the
affected animal is impossible. Accord
ing to good medical authority, the only
thing that can be done in such cases is
to protect those cattle, horses and mules
who have not succumbed to the mall
ady by incubation. Out of a lot Of
about forty, twenty-five head Of cattle,
and six mules and horses have died
Al number Of the cattle, horses and
mules, which were inOculated by DR..
Roberts, were saved by the treatment.
The doctor up to last Tuesday had
inoculated about forty head, and lost
only three of the number. A Mr.. Sharp
residing there, who owns herd of fifty
seven, had twelve of the number inOc
ulated, and lost only one of the num-
Der. From the other remaining forty
five which were not tinoculated ten sue
cumbed to the disease So badly has
the malady become that the State
Board of Agriculture has taken the
matter up and have appointed sur
geOn to look after the sick animals in
this section.

Athletic Association Met.

The members of the Milford Ath
Ietic Association met on Monday even
ing of this week to consider the most
advisable means of getting together the
money due the association by subserlp'
tion. While the Association is in the
best condition, financially, the amount
which has been subscribed and unpaid
is not far short from 500, and would
give the Association little surplus
and it would seem without much So
licitation on the part of the members
Of the Association, that those who have
subscribed and not paid their subserlp'
ion would see that their amount due
the association is paid. Some gossip
pers in town have said, without any
knowledge Of what they were saying
that the Association was in bad straits
and that the team would soon disband
Such assertions should stop under the
face Of the above conditions disclosed

GREAT BASE BALL
WEEK At MILFORD.
GAME SCHEDULE FOR NEXT WEEK.
Won Two Games from Dover and Lost
None.

Milford is still holding on to her rec
ord as being the best team south OF
Wilmington, if not in the State, and it
seems to make but little difference from
where the opposing team may happen
to get their batteries. Dover came here
on Friday of last week, hopeful that
they would win the game against Mil
ford, and our boys played just fast
enough to allow that expectancy to
grow very sanguine, and so much were
the Dover boys sure Of winning the
game in the ninth inning-when the
score stood 4 to in favor of Dover
that when the Milford team tied the
score. and was in hopeful position OF
winning the game, Dover couldn't
stand the sudden change, and forfeited
the game by a "stand pat kick" at the
close of the eleventh inning. The dis
pute arose over foul ball which the
Dover players, sick as they were, de
sired to name fair. The decision, how
ever. was given. and it is said to have
been correct by the most interested ano
liberal minded persons in attendance
Score by innings:
