I,
Heme ten day s age the farmers of Maryland,
Just below the Lsucasler county line, boeamo
oxclted ever a re"irt that several herds of cat cat
tle In Drumere, Fmleii and Little Britain
townships were sutlerlng from contagious
ploure pnoumenla. United Hiatus Voterlnary
Hurgoen C. raltoraen, of Maryland, was noil neil noil
Med, and arrangements wero made that he
and Dr. Ilridge, state veterinary surgeon of
I'hlladolpbla,sheuld visit herds reported tebe
Infocted en Friday last. Dr. Ilridge waa
unable te meet his engagement, but Dr. Pat
terson vlslted the herd or Davis Hcett, about
seven miles belew I'each Ilottem, and pro
nounced ene of Mr. Hcett's oxen te be suf
fering from contagious plourepnoumonla.
Dr. Ilridge visited tbe same herd en Mon
day last, and after examining the hard pre-
neunced the cattle all In geed condition ex
cept the ex examined by Dr. I'attoraen, and
said that It was net allected by plcure pneu
menla, but only by slmplecartarrh.
On Wednesday Dr. Kdge, secretary of the
state beard et agilculture of Pennsylvania,
received a letter from the Maryland Cattle
Dealers' association, roiteratlng the state
ment that there was plQuro-pueumenta In the
lower end of Lancaster county, and threaten
Ing te establish a quarantine against Lancas
ter county cattle unless the disease Is
promptly atamxd out Other damaging
statements were received by Dr. Kdge, ene
et which was te the etlect that the mate of
Mr. Hcett's sick ex ami ether Inleoted cattle
had Isyin shipped ill te Philadelphia and
sold te butchers.
Owing te these stories .Secretary Kdge made
arrangements with Dr. Ilridge, or I'hlladel
phla, and Dr. Wober, of this city, te visit and
Inspect Mr. Scott's herd. They left vl. the
Columbia it Pert Doi-eslt railroad yesterday
morning ; get oil at Peter's Creek station and
drove n dlstance of about seven miles te Mr.
Hcett's. After careful diagnosis they found
that the ex previously examlned by Dm.
Patterson and Ilridge was suffering from a
case of slmple catarrh, very common at this
seaseu et the year and thore was net a trace
of pleuro-pneumonli In tbe herd, nor In any
ether herd In the neighborhood. Hocretary
Kdge Is posiltve there Is net a case of pleuro pleure pleuro
pneueonia lu the county and Drs. Ilridge
and Wober held the same view.
As Dr. Patterson had also stated that the
herd or Mr. Weeds near Klslng Hun, Md.,
and the herd or Mr. Hu.s en Ambler's farm
nejir McCalla Ferry were Infected with pleuro pleure pleuro
pneueonia, Dr. Ilridge, during his visit en
Monday, made a careful examination of the
cattle and leund them entlrely froe from
ploure-pneumonla. At I'hlneas Kwlng's be
found a cow slightly atlocted with the dis
ease and had her killed.
Theae assurauccs et the healthy condition
of Lancaster county cattle will afford great
rellefte stock-ralsers generally. Dr. Patter
seu should have been mere careful In mak
ing his diagnosis before making statements
that gave rlse le ee much nnneasary exclte
ment and alarm.

On Thursday ovenlng the Llllle Hall and
Fanny llloedgood burlesque aud specialty
company appeared In Fulton epera beuse,
and, although the weather and walking were
about the worst thai could be Imagined, tbe
audlence was large and Included many
ladles. The gallery, as usual, at shows of
this klud, was crowded. The company Is
large and strong, aud they gave a geed
show. Miss Hall did net appear, as
she Is lying very 111 In Hroeklyn,
and her friends rear that she will never
again be able te go ou the stage. The bur bur bur
losqueof "Ox-y-gen,' which like all of Its
kind, has very little In It, wa3 successfully
given. Most of the Jokes were new,
but seme were qulte tiresome. The
principal leatures of tbe burlesque were the
display of well-sbaped women aud tine cos
tume. In the absence or Miss Hall, M'lle
.Itella played the part of Yiuce liemancc.
Hhe is a very handseme woman and did well.
Ada Hurnette was A'iny I-iroceu.i, and the
remainder wero up te the average, although
the singing was net et the best.
Iletween the scenes et the burlesque, seme
line specialties wero Introduced, although
Boveral which were en the bill, were cut out.
Larry and Lizzle Smith created a great deal
of fun In their sketch entitled " Leve Let
ters "; and M'lle Natta Juggled lu a manner
that gained her lets of applause. Ada Hur
nelte, a pleasing kind of sorle comic, made a
great hit with hqr songs, especially " The
New Coen." While singing this she set the
gallery wild by Introducing a very
comical locking little darkey. Mon Men
tie CeIIIuh, gave out seme tunny sayings
and did clever high kicking. Probably
the greatest hit of the evenlng was
made by Maggle Cllne, the big woman with
n fog horn volce. Hhe was HuUerlng from
asevoiuceld, but succeistully gave several
Irish Bungs lu her Inimitable style aud
clesed her turn with a funny Imitation of a
Howery tough. The march et the Silver
llladlaters brought out all the lemales but
Miss Cllne, and they looked and drllled
well. The Divonpert Brethors, who have
often beeh seen here belere, did their acro
batic and sparring act te the satisfaction cT all.
They area strong team and have always been
favorites In Lancaster. The show loll this
morning ler Harrlsburg.
During their stay In Lancaster Larry and
Lizzie Smith were the guests el the Misses
Marks, North Queen street.

The Clerical Leader of the CommlMlen el

Tboclerical leader of the commission of
the German Kelchstag, Herr Ludwig Wind Wind
herst, will net support l'rlnce Bismarck's
scheme as regards the amended army bill.
In government circles llttle conQdence Is
felt an te tbe passage of the bill and
there are Indications that Prince Bismarck Is
open te a compromise. It Is universally
believed that he would accept an amend
ment Urn illnic tbe operations of tbe bill te
five years, but he will certainly reject any
proposal for a term of threo years. Herr
Wlndberst's manipulations In the Kelchstag
have oflen been the occasion of the chancel
lor's wrath. Herr Windhorst says that the
Kelchstag will make no concessions beyond
what the commission rocemmonds. even It it
were menaced with a coup d'etat. Ilerr Lud
wlg Windhorst, the parliamentary leader of
the Catholic party in Prussia, was born Jan
uary 17, 1312. He attended tbe "Caroll "Carell
num " in Osnalbruck, and continued his
studies at Uettlugen and Heidelberg. He
became au advocate, and then syndle and
presiding member of the consistory at Osnal
bruck ; he afterwards became ober-appolla-tlnnsrath
in Kalbs, and from 1S03 te
1J.35 he was minister of Jus
tice at Hanover, finally being nom nem nom
Inated and installed as chief syndle or the
orewn In Kalbe. Frem the years including
1819 te 1600 he was a member or the assem
bly or the estates or the realm, and In 1831
president el the Bocend chamber et the same.
Herr Windhorst next became a member of
the Constituent and the regular Kelchstag ;
and since 1S07 he has been a member et the
Prussian Heuse ei Deputies. A persenal de
scriptlen or Uerr Windhorst says "he is puny
lu size, almost deformed, ugly as Secrates,
he Is au antagonist bofero whose wit the
boldest deputies tremble and under whose
assaults even the great chancellor loses bis
coolness and self-command. As a tactician
he Is unsurpassed. Startling as the chief et a
small and prescribed faction, he bes built it
up te be the most numerous party In the
Ueute, and, holding the balance of pewer,
wields It with a skill unequalled in thf I Kelch
stag. Khert, crisp pungeut retorts are Indeed
his chief arms of controversy."

very gonerally oxprcssed that In "attacking

the A'.amtartf has committed sulclde at birth.
As te this, it may be worth while te say
that I have no political aspirations. It I had

The morning breke cloudy te-day, X
thick mist hid the light of tbe aun, and
clouds obscured the sky. It was a gloomy,
disagreeable beginning of what afterward
proved te be a bright and heautlful day, for
at 10 o'clock the mist disappeared, the cloud
rolled bick, and the atmosphere waa M
bright and balmy as ever seen In May. Cla

only n low hours' rest without remov

bore up bravely and Boomed te be hopeful.
Groups of peeple gathored at thonewtpaper
offices and tbe vicinity or Iho Jail, anxious te
hear what action, It any, the govorner bad
taken. As the hours were en the crowd
increased, and the excitement became mera
and mero lutonse. The telophenout the city

private olllce In tbe executlve mansion, and
was net seen by any of the counael. They
had done nil that they oeuld for their client,
but te no avail. Mr. Kev. Crump, ene of
the most active of the counr-el, came down te
thn Jail about 11 o'clock and had
a talk with the prisoner. Mr. Frank
W. Cutnmlngs, who has frequently
sung for the prisoner's gratification, alto
came down, and seen sang with much melody
several hymns, ene of which cemmencing1
'Hew firm a foundation ye taints et the Lerd''

tbe small space left was uiled with peeple

During this prayer the pilseuer remained
