DOUBLE TEAMS RAN AWAY

Four double teams dashing away like
mad down the road at one time, was she
lively event that happened on Wednes-
day morning at the depot viz, those of
Messrs. John Tarbutton.
Six double teams we're unloading corn
into the cars when an engineer let out a
series of unnecessarily loud screeches, and
scared four Of them go badly that they ran
away, tore up lot Of fencing, spilled
their loads, and one Of them, the team Of
Mr.. Tarbutson fell into deep hole near
Mr.. Shepherds coal yard. The animal
was finally gotten out by the help of Far
mer's Creamery employees, and it
is thought was not injured.
This loud whistle blowing is a nuisance
that should be abandoned at once. Ordi.
nances in other cities and town forbid it
and it is high time Middletown's Town
Commissioners passed such Law. Some
while ago an engineer blew q deafeDing
blast just as one of our doctors was driving
over the track, only few feet away. He
believes it was done purposeIy. The need
less long and loud blasts are tormenting
to ths sick, and should not be tolerated.

MR.. PARYIS LOST TW0 HORSES
From a Strange Disease Probably.
Cansed hv Rotten Corn or Fodder

Caused BY kOtten COfn or rOdder
John H. Parvis farmer residing on
his mothers farm near Greenspring, has
lost two valuable driving horses during
the past week and has others affected.
Dr.. w. T. Ryan, the veterinarian OF
Smyrna, in an interview Thursday even
ing with the TRANSCRIPT, made the iol.
lowing statement of the facts. II was
called in by Mr.. Parvis to treat the horses
and after losing two of them decided to
call in consultation Prof. j. w. Lentz OF
the University Of Pa, on Tuesday. Dr..
Lenz tookgp cimsHs Of the two dead horst :
to bis laboratory iu Philadsiphia, and
after injecting into rabbits and guinea
pigs serum made from the injected
horses, reports,to me that the animals
show no sig4Sof being affected, and Prof..
Leuz and myself are of the opinion that
we are dealing with form of forage
Regsh which would produce pyemia or
sea mia which are forms OF blood
poisoning liable to produce pneumonia or
other serious diseases among animals, but
not Of al infectious kind.
"When affected in this manner, the ami.
mails blood becomes degenerated and rot
ten. It is the opinion Of Prof. Lenz as
we'll as myself that the cause of this dis
ease is from feeding rotten fodder, grain
or hay, or using polluted water"
DR.. Ryan stated that in all probability
there are at the present time 200 horses
affected in the same manner throughout
the state. This condition be attributes to
the fact that on account of the large
amount of spoiled corn from the excessive
moisture of the season, a great deal OF
rotted corn and "shoots" was left in the
fodder unhusked, and consequently eaten
by the animals which has produced this
serious effect.
