TAKE CARE OF THE HORSES.
A Fatal Disease which is Raging In
New Jersey.
The southern irt of New Jersey is now
being visited by a most fatal and wide
spread horse disease. Dr. A. T. Sellers, a
skilled veterinary surgeon, of Camden, who
has been fighting the epizooty from the start
says that over 700 horses have either died,
are convalescing, or are now suffering from
the disorder, which made its appearance two
weeks ago.
Ill sieaking of the epidemic to a reporter.
Dr. Sellers said : " Tlie symptoms of the
disease are unmistakable. You go into the
stable and throw the feed into the manger.
The horse will take one mouthful of it and
then stop. Its refusal of food is followed by
a dullness and apathy. The whip is unheed
ed. Then comes a staggering gait The af
flicted animal will drag iu hind feet over
ground, seeming, apparently, too careless to
lift them. A pronounceable sympteiu then
shows itself. The horse will evince an un
controllable desire to lean up against some
siipHirt in the stable or the stall ; if geared,
against the shaft of the wagon. Within 24
hours after it has refused food the stricken
animal will fall, and then death will soon
ensue. Iu most of the cases the horses up
iear dumb, and are seized with a sort of par
alysis. They lake notice of nothing. Others
struggle, try to raise themselves, and oft
times are injured iu their efforts. As anile
tlie disease is accoin willed with a throat
trouble. The fact is," continued Dr. Sellers,
" the disorder is known to old practitioners
as the putrid sore throat."
Dr. Sellers said that the disease is not un
dcrstood by veterinarians, and that no relief
can he afforded a horse after it has once been
attacked. Thev die too soon for medicine to
take any effect. The only method of combat
is by treating the well animals.
Iu regard to tlie origin of the outbreak,
lr. Sellers stated that tlie germs of the dis
ease were in the air. " We have been en
deavoring to discover some cause for it, but
we really do not know where to find it,"
said the doctor; "some persons think it
comes from poisonous vegetation. Some ten
years ago there was a terrible visitation of
tlie cerebro spinal meningitis on Lang Is
land, and in that case the cause was traced
directly to Ibe fertilizer made from menha
den. 1 found that this fish manure is ex
tensively used where this outbreak origina
ted, and that the disease has been more se
vere in lliose localities where it is spread
Urti the land. I have been very particular
in my observations upon this point, having
the Long Island history in my mind."

Baltimore Business Men
Greatly
Disturbed By It.
Nrw York. Aug. 31 Tlie following official
announcement was made to-day by the Pres
ident of the United States Express Compa
ny : " The plant, franchise)! and business of
tbe Baltimore and Ohio express has been sold
to the United Stales xpres ComHiy fiir a
peri. si of thirty years. The sale was made
directly by the Baltimore and Ohio Railmod
Company, no other parties being recognized.
The agreement was consummated last week
and we take posses.sion to- morrow. The ne
gotiations for the sale have been pending
about a month, having begun with President
Garrett before he went to Europe."
It is stated on W all street that the price
paid was t2.Sc,nn0, of which jH.Ono.ono was
paid in cash a-id $1 ,.Vi.("- in United States
express stock. The President of the United
States express tienies the correctness of the
figures, but declines to state the terms on
which the property was purchased, saying
that the matter is private. No change will
be made in tlie management or name of the
company.
This adds about 5,000 miles of territory to
tlie 15,000 miles already operated over by the
United States Express Company and makes
it the most jsiwerful comjnmy of its kind in
America. " '
Baltimore, Sept. 1. The Baltimore and
Ohio Express Company passed into the
hands of the United States express comjiaiiy
and its employees were notified of the change.
There will, tor the present at least be no
changes in the employees, and the reports
will be made to the general manager as here
tofore.
Sjieaking of tbe sale of John K. Cowan,
counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio conn
pany, said :
"The statement that the Baltimore and
Ohio express has been sold to the United
Slates express is not correct. There has been
a contract entered Into between the two com
panies, by which the United States express
coniiany is to run the Baltimore and Ohio
for thirty years, Sir which' the former is to
pay the latter company a certain percentage
of the earnings. We decline to say what the
percentage will be.
It is now very generally believed here that
the sale of the express is not the lost of the
Bultimore and Ohio railroad company. Spec
ial despatches from New York render it con
elusive to the minds of many prominent
business men that the telegraph system of
the company will soon pass into other hands
if the negotiation is not already conclitili-d.
The impression, also prevails that Mr. Gar
rett ia anxious to dispose of the road, and
the announcement of its sale at any time will
create no surprise here.
Vice-President Spencer, in answer to in
quiries un the subject, confirmed the dispos
al of the plant of the Baltimore and Ohio
Express conqtany and of the execution of a
contract between the railroad cnmiany and
the United States Express comiuny for a
period of thirty years, bu declined to give
any further particulars. He, however re
garded the arrangement as quite advantgeous
to the interests both of the railroad company
and the express coniwny.
Mr. Spencer stated that there was no truth
whatever in the statements as to negotiation
with Ixindon bankeis for the control of the
railroad conqiany, or that the house of
Robert Garrett Sons was selling or intend
ing to sell its holdings, and he knew of no
such intentions on the part of any other
large holders, He tcreated as ahstini the
statement that the Pennsylvania railroad
hail advanced any money to the Baltimore
and Ohio conqiany looking to its control, or
for any other purpose. The control of tbe
company hud not, and would not utss into
any rival hands ; it would continue as an
indeiendent trunk line, with the interests of
all classes of stockholders fully and amply
cared for, working, it is hoped, in such har
mony with connecting and conqieting inter
ests as would secure the best results for all.
The company is doing a large business and
has met, and was prepared to meet pnmpt
ly, all its ohlgalions of every character.
New Y'orb, Sept. i.J. Picqsmt Morgan
who returned from West Point to-day, de
clined to make anv statement until be could
make one officially regarding the connection
of his firm with the syndicate to take up the
majority of the B. A O. stx k. He also re
fused to deny that arrangements are now
pending looking to that end. All this only
goes to prove the correctness of the report
made y ester. lay that an arrangement has
been entered into which will relieve the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from its large
and pressing floating debt, which would un
doubttslly soon have swauiied the company
ill the present state of the money market,
and in some measure make a change in its
management and the conduct of its busi
ness. It is known that arrangements have been
entered into, chiefly in Ixin.lon, through
which J. S. Morgan it Co. will advance a
large amount of cash to the Baltimore and
Ohio Company. It is estimated the floating
debt of the Baltimore and Ohio, which it
was necessary to care for at once, is about

The sale of twe Express Company will net
the Baltimore and Ohio about ti.VKi.Om.i.
Mr. Gould, it is believed, stands ready to pay
some W,Om,Ono for the Baltimore and Ohio
Telegraph Contiainy. Indeed, it is said that
the whole bargain has been practically con
summated. This would net jW,")iit,li0 fnim
these auxiliary comtiaiiies. It is understood
that the London bankers and their associates
will furnish about l.s,ooo.ooii additional,
and take as security for the loan some valu
able asels in the way of stix ks and bonds
now in the Baltimore and Ohiotreosiiry, and
secure the control of the company.
OARRETTTO RETIRE.
A further and an important (art of the
agreement is the retirement of president
Garrett from his position at the head of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, to
lie siicceedetl by some well-known railroad
mau. Mr. Cassatt and Mr. King, of the
Fie, were mentioned in this connection, hut
probably without authority. Mr. Cassatt,
who is in Iomlon, had much to do with the
negotiations which have resulted so success
fully. It is also understood that the Baltimore
and Ohio Company hereafter will conduct
its business in harmony with the other cor
IMimtion of the country. ' It Is, of course, the
objective jsiint of negotations, and its effect
on railroad interests must be very benefic
ial. '
A MYSTERY SOI.VEll.
The Associated Press supplies the follow
ing d Wails of the dial :
The mysterious movement of the stock
market during the past week and tbe con
tinued rumors from all sources that some im
portant developments were hanging over the
railroad and telegraph world, were explain
ed by forts which were made public late this
afternoon. After breaking off his negotia
tions with Ives Sl Co. Mr. Garrett went to
Ixindon, where the negotiations were con
tinued with J. S. Morgan, and to-day a deal
was announced conqmrable in importance
with the West Shore settlement, with the
New York Central and the forming of the
Reading syndicate to reorganize that company
Both of these dials were carried through by
Drexel, Morgan & Co., but in tlie latter case
Edward Lauterhach was tlie most prominent
figure as mediator between tlie Goweti and
Drexel interests, and in the agreement now
made he also takes a prominent place.
The consummation of the contract made to
day was bei.l in abeyance until his opinion
was obtained on the question of whether the
sterling loan made by the Bultimore and
Ohio Railnd covered the telegraph system
of the company.-After studying the ques
tion ia all its anpecu he decided that the
telegraph lines were free from all liens, and i
on receiving this opinion the agreement, in .
the nature of a preliminary coutract, was ,
executed to-day. j
TBI FARTIES TO THE CONTRACT j
are the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany and syndicate composed of J. 8.

The most important point in tbe contract
provides that tbe management of the com
pany shall be placed in competent hands
satislactory to the syndicate. Who tlie men
are who will be satisfactory to the syn. scale
cannot be ascertained, but A.J. "assail. Vice
Prevalent of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, is generally believed to be bonked
as Mr. Garrett's auccesnor. Satisfactory con
tracts are also to be made with the Pennsyl
vania and Rca.lin;: Railroad on all business
north of Philadelphia, anj with alltbeotlwr
trunk lines entering New York, by which all
antagonism will be removed and insure the
permanent working the Baltimore and Ohio
in harmony with the other trunk lines.
In addition to them! contracts tire lines in
process of construction from Philadel
phia loSew York, will be to suspended in
their construction just as they now stand,
and the work on Siateu Island stopped. In
consideration of these contracts being signed
and with the control in their hands, the
syndicate agree to relieve the railroad from
its present embarrassment by providing $19,
000,000, with which to take up its floating
debt. This will be represented by $5,000,000
in Baltimore and Ohio consolidated fives
and (5,000,000 preferred stock. The floating
debt as it stands amount to$7,0tX),000, most
ly in the shape of certificates of indebtedness
scrip and notes. Of this amount $4,000,000
is said to have matured on the 1st inst. One
of the parties to the syndicate authorized the
following statement as tlie outcome of tlie
contract :
DIVID11CO THE SPOILS.
"The position of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad as an Ishmaelite in the railroad,
sjeeping car, express and telegraph business
is given up. All the outside enterprises will
be sold to parties to whom they will be val
uable. Tbe Western Union will control, if it
does not buy, the telegraph lines ; and the
Pulman Palace Car Conqiany will take the
sleeping car business. The express business
has already gone to tbe United States Express
Company. The affairs of the railroad com
pany will be entirely reorganized and placed
upon a sound financial basis."
Drexel, Morgan & Co. were in correspond
ence all day with tneir nouses in IxuiOon
and Philadelphia, and late iu the evening
confirmed the statetments that the contracts
and negotiations given above had just been
signed. Outside of the Cu ts given above they
declined to seak.
The clause of the contract siuqieiiding all
work on the extension from Philadelphia to
New Y'ork is believed to be the keynoteofthe
syndicate interests in the negotiations, and
is construed to mean that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, when divested of all extran
eous enterprises, will be iqierated practically
by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The following has been issued by the firm
of Drexel, Morgan it Co. :
THE OFFICIAL AKSOfSCEMEST.
A preliminary contract has been execu
ted to-day between the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, Baring Bros. & Co. and
Brown, Shipley A Co., London, and their
allied houses on this side. This contract
pnividcs for the ngotiation of $5,Oiiii.iiiio Balti
more and Ohio sonsolidated fives and $5.-
0ii,0O0 Baltimore and Ohio preferred stock
for the puriiose of paying off the entire float- j
ing debt Of the company and placing it on a i
sound financial basis. The conditions are as '
follows : j
" F'irst The verification of statements etc.,
as made."
"Second That the management of the
conqiany shall be placet I tn eoniietent
hands satisfactory to the syndicate.1' .
Tliinl That satisfactory contracts shall
be made between the Baltimore and Ohio
and the other roads for New York business
which shall remove all antagonism between
them on the subject, and insure the perman
ent working of the Baltimore and Ohio in
entire harmony with the other trunk lines,
also avoid the construction, or threat of con
struction of, expensive parallel lines north
and east of Philadelphia.
The houses interested on this side are Drex
el, Morgan, Co., Drexel Sl Co., Brown Bros,
and Kidder, Peals sly ,t Co.
CAl'SE OF THE DOW STALL.
Tlie New York Su says : The fact about
which there can be no quibbling is that Mr.
Robert Garrett has been forced by his luck
of ability to relinquish his place in the man
agement of the Baltimore and Ohio proper
ties. His policy brought the company to
the verge of bankruptcy, and now abler men
are seeking to repair the damage he has done.
The pitiable spectacle of two boys, one in
conqietent and the other a knave, hawking a
great trunk line property as Garrett and Ives
hawked it, has apparently determined the
other stockholders of the property to hold
together at least until they can repair the
damage that Robert Garrett has inflicted
Uon their property in more ways than one.
All that it is considered desirable to accom
plish with the railroad can be done without
a change of ownership now that necessity
has conqielled a change in the manner of
handling the property.
MB. morgan's statement.
Philadelphia, Set. 3. The Ledger, in
its financial article to-morrow, referring to
the contract entered into between the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad and a syndicate of
bonkers, will say :
The policy of the syndicate ai regaMs the
telegraph, express and sleeping car interests
of the Baltimore and Ohio, will be that the
couiny shall be manged on the same basis
as other trunk lines and thus remove the
antagonism that has arisen from the policy
heretofore pursued. The express contract
has already been disposed of, and while there
is no necessity, so far as the debt of the com
pany is concerned, for disposing of the otliers
they may or may not be sold, as shall here
after be determined. Mr. J. Pieirepont Mor
gan, who effected the settlement of the West
Shore Railroad, difficulty with the New
Y'ork Cent nil Railroad, and several other
similar important troubles bet ween the trunk
lines and who was a princiwl negotiator in
this contract said yesteMay : -lt is scarcely
possible to over estimate the importance of
these negotiations, particularly as regards
the trunk lines. Tlie syndicate is composed
of the houses mentioned, and they are each
and all of them interested in the trunk lines
through the various negotiations which they
from time to time, have made. They are
now united to protect th ese interests as far
as their influence and Jsiwer lies."
ASTONISHED IX BALTIMORE.
R.vmMoRE, Sept. 4. Several years ago
Jay Gould offered to give $235 per share for
enough of the stock of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad to form a controlling interest.
Mr. John W.. Garrett, "then president, not
only indignantly refused the offer, but resen
ted the idea of such an oiler being made. To
night the announcement comes from New
York of Die contract that puts a mortgage of
$10,000,000 on a property which has always
boasted of its big reserve accumulations;
that throw the Baltimore and Ohio into the
Pennsylvania's hands and enables Gould to
gobble up the telegraph. If John W. Gar
rett does not turn in his grave tiv-night it is
because there is not communication between
the dead and the living. For six days Balti
more and Ohio officials have been denying
that such a contract was In proiect, and
the rumors from New York were put down
as inventions of the enemy. Now that the
truth has come nut, the people encountered
can not fully grasp the situation, and all of
them refuse torfalk until they know more of
the particulars. ,.. .
what the orru EBs say.
Mr. Burns, who is chairman of the
Finance Committee and presiilent pn Um, of
tlie Baltimore and Ohio, when showed a copy
of the statement' issued by Drexel, Morgan
St Co. to-night said : Anything that Drexel,
Morgan St Co. say about the matter you
may rest assured is true. I ran add nothing
to tbe statement as given in this dispatch.
From what I know, however, I think there
is some trilling diw-repancy In tlie way the
negotiation of the loans is reported" What
the discrepancy is he did not care to state,
but repeated, with emphasis, that Drexel,
Morgan A Co.'s statement could be relied
npon.
Sunday-School Convention.
In pursuance of a call by the committee of
Somerset Classis of the Reformed church, the
Third Annual Sunduy-arliool Convention
met in Rockwood Tuesday evening, Aug. 30.
After singing and prayer service by Rev.
! Reiter the pastor in an address welcomed tlie
delegate to the homes id" the people f R--k-Wood
anil spoke of tlie importance of Sunday-school
instruction and hoped the ses
sions would prove interesting and profitable,
resulting iu much good. Rev. Reiter re
sponded on behalf of tbe delegates to the
words of welcome and also spoke of the iru
lirtance of religions training of the young,
that they may grow in usefulness and be of
greater service to the Master.
The convention then organized electing
the following officer-: President, Rev. I. N.
Berger ; Vice President, Ir. R. H. Patterson ;
Secretary, J. C. Weller ; Treasurer. Rev. Rob
ert O Boyle.
WEDXEStiAY KoRXISu SEWIOS
Opened with singing and prayer service by
Rev. Berger. The president announced the
following committees
On reports of Sun.fay -schools : Rev. II.
King, C. A. Waller, Mrs. W. D. Leferer.
On Resolutions : Rev. O. A. Schwedes. J.
D. Meese, J. C. Youngerman.
Manager of Question box : D. J. Horner.
The topic "Teachers qualification and
preparation was then discussed, being as
signed the Secretary, who thought that teach
ers in Sunday -schools are usually selected
from those of the school best qualified to
teach, and while many do not measure np to
our ideal teacher they are doing excellent
work. Mrs. Berger followed in tbe discus
sion with a carefully prepared paper setting
forth her views as to a properly qualified
teacher, and thought teachers should visit
scholars at their homes and be interested in
them at other times and places than the Sun
day-school, for, in carrying water persons
to have the greatest force or power, do not
carry the buckets at arms length, but bring
them near them ; so with pupils, teachers
must feel interested in them get near them
in order to do the best teaching, and to exert
the greatest influence over them. Then fol
lowed an interesting discussion of the ques
tion by Revs. Lcfcvre, King, Heller, Schick,
Schwedes, J. D. Meese, C. A. W alter and oth
ers. . f
After music " The Imiortance of Scripture
Study" was the next topic. Prof. Meese
opening the discussion, who in well chosen
words sHike of the heantiful sayings of the
sacred writers, and deplored the fact that the
precious woM of God is not being studied or
even read by many who profess to lie follow
ers of the meek and lowly Savior. Sludy
the scripture, forit creates a love for God, and
is a great comfort. In it we have two pic
tures in Adams fall we have pictured the
evil and wickedness of sinful man, and in
Christ the perfect man, pure, holy and right
eous. The subject being also assigned to D.
J. Horner, he read a well prepared paper
showing the advantages of scripture study.
Rev. Kremer followed saying that while he
did not approve of all the doings of Moody
he recognized his wonderful familiarity with
the scriptures, which gives to him much of
his power and influence as an evangelist.
He also instanced Webster as being able to
quote many lassages of scripture, and draw
ing from their wordings many of his loftiest
flights of eloquence. He named Ulrich
Zwingli, the founder of tlie Reformed church
as another who was able to quote from the
scripture in the original Greek with such
aptness as to overcome his most formidable
opionent.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Opened with singing and prayer sen-ice by
Rev. Kremer. Calling roll of delegates.
SiimUiy -school Music " was discussed by
C. W. Truxal, who made a plea for the high
er grades of music, saying only those songs
should be used that are purely devotional in
character, and condemning the lower classes
of songs which appeal to the emotional na
ture and are meaningless in expression.
Rev. Kremer thought the rules laid down by
the sainted Dr. Harbaiigh in Hymns ami
Chants were a good guide as to the nature
and character of music to be used and having
a biHik at hand read some of the mlcs. The
Secretary thought a new music book needed
for our Sunday-schools and found fault with
Hymns and Carols, as being too difficult in
many of its selections as it was almost im
possible for the smaller scholars to learn to
singtliem and in regard to music the church
was not progressive enough. Rev. Schick
rose to speak a word for the Reformed chun h
and was glad that we have been conservative
in regard to music as we have thus escaped
mnch just criticism, as he did not believe in
singing songs like " Hold the Fort" and oth
ers he could name as he questioned the
truthfulness of them. Rev. Heller advocat
ed the very best kinds of music and tirged
that we strive to rise to those higher forms.
even though it requires labor and effort, it is
time profitably employed.
The question, " How can greater interest
in Sunday-school work be aroused ? " was
discussed until the close of tlie afternoon
session.
EVEXIUO PESSIOS.
Ojiened with prayer service by Rev. Whit-
aker. Rev. Shick addressed tbe Convention
at. length, on Mission Work in the Sunday-
school." The speaker showed how each
scholar might do missionary work and sta
ted that were we more in earnest each school
might have a representative in the foreign
field instead of the one from our county or
tlie few from the entire church.
... The following from the question boa were
read and answered : How should teachers
be selected ? Rev. Reiter said the pastor and
consistory should select tliem. '
How can our older menitiejrt he brought
into and interested in the Sunilay -school ?
C. W. Truxal thought by interesting their
children, as parents can often he reached
through the children, or by giving them
something to do. vj r
Should the questions from the catechism
on the lesson leaf each Sunday be memoriz
ed? Mrs. Berger thought it w as not essential
and would not so require. Dr. Patterson
thought as thcy.eontnin the doctrine of the
church, they shonld be committed to mem
ory. C. J. Otto requires in addition that the
golden text also he memorized.
Ik) yon approve of Sunday-school picnics ?
Rev. King : I do in a measure ; those which
afford genuine amusement for the children.
How can pupils e made to commit the
verses in dark tyie? Rev. Shick : That is
one of the problems ; children at present do
not care to commit the scripture, and I some
times wish to get back to the good old days
of Bible study rather than studying about
the Bible. Other questions were read and
answered.
THITRSIIAY MoRSINtt SESSION.
Shall temperance work enter the Sunday
school? This question provoked the liveli
est discussion of any which came before the
Convention, the different speakers suggesting
various methods of treating the subject, all,
however, agreeing as to the importance of
temperance work.
How can we retain the older members of
the Sunday-school? C. F. Swops thought
this an important yet difficult subject, and
said that in their school it was impossible to
get all the members of the consistory to at
tend. He often nrged them to come, bnt
without success. C. W. Truxal said a good
plan was to form classes composed only of
the ohler persona of the congregation. Rev.
Schick called them the spectacle classes,
where no one is ashamed to wear grasses,
aud with an active, estrnest teacher, tl err
will be little trouble to keep them in the
school.
THURSDAY ArTERXOOS SESglOS.
"The International Lesson." C. A. Wal
ter ssike of how it had revolutionized Stiu-day-school
work. But with its many ad
vantages it had also its defects. The com
mittee in preparing them paid no regard to
the festive days of the church year. He also
feared that memorizing passages of scripture
was being neglected, and less Bible study
was being done, as too much stress was be
ing laid upon lesson paper and their aids.
"Sunday Instruction and Weekly Influ
ences " was spoken of in an address by Vol
Hay, Esq., who thought Sunday instruction
of little effect by persons who during the
week were shifted hither and thither by eve
ry wind of circumstance. Persona should
live and act what they teach to be able toilo

espouse more zealously and with more heart
conviction and to enter with more steadfast
faith, into tht LuM s sncud cause in our
Sanday-schiHiis. There has lieen marked
progress along the line of Sunday-school
work. More and better interest is awakened

Duty of Voters.
There are several requirements of the vo
ters of Pennsylvania in order that they may
be qualified to exercise the rights of citizen
at the municial and general elections held
under the laws of this Slate, any ' omission
to perform these duties resulting in the dis
franchisement of the delinquent. The first
duty is that of registering, which is required
to lie done sixty days before the election at
which the v.oter offers his ballot ; ai-conqiu-nying
registry is the assessment of a poll tax
which must be paid at least thirty days pre
vious to the election.
The omission to register may be corrected
by proving residence, but the failure to le
assessed and pay a State or county tax within
the presenbed time is fatal to the voter's uise
aiid will work his disfranchisement. This
year the eighth of September is the las day
upon which voters may be registered, and
every voter should see to it that his name
appears priqierty on tlie list, which may be
seen at the nstial voting place in each dis
trict.
