IT DOES NOT EXIST. Secretary Husk Says There Is No Foot and Moutli !! Among American Cattle. Washington', Oct 17. News was recently received at the Department of Agriculture of the outbreak of a disease among cattle in sections of tbe counties of Chester. Berks and Montgomery. FeunsyWacia.and extending into some parts of New Jersey. Dr. C. 1). Michener, assistant chief of the bureau of Animal Industry, promptly left here to investigate tbe disease. Humors to tbe effect that tho disease in question was the aphthous ferer, commonly .known aa foot and. mouth disease, ha?e elicited from Dr. 2dichener a telegram to the department that he has personally inspected a number of the aflected animals, and that there is not the least doubt that the disease is of a ftimilar, non-contagions character. "You can make tbe denial of tbe existence of any foot and month disease in this country as emphatio as you please,77 eaid Secretary Knelt. "It baa never existed in this country, except in two or three, instances, as the result of cattlu imported from Great liritain which were found atlected on landiug in this country; but with the precautions now taken in the innpectiou of nil cattle landed on American soil even a case of this kind has not occurred in recent years, and it is an absolute fact that for seven years past there has not been a single case of foot and mouth disease in the United States of America. "1 cannot too strongly denounce," - the Secretary added, "the tendency, aided. I ji iii sorry to say, by some of our journals, to spread wild rumors of the existence of contagions diseases among onr cattle. People do not seem to realise that the publication of such a rumor, promptly repeated in Kuropean journals, many of them animated by a spirit of antagonism to our cattle interests, may cost our cattle-raisers millions of dollars. The tirst report of disease among stock should be made to this department and its otlicial repoTt awaited before any publication is made. You may add." concluded the Secretary, "that Dr. Michener's diagnosis may be accepted with the utmost confidence, especially as regards the question of this foot-and-mouth disease, which he thoroughly understands." 3IIN0U MATTERS.

Jtoth Egypt and Palestine have been perfectly tree Irom it. During half a century cholera, whenever it has been an epidemic in Egypt, has never appeared thero later than tbe CTth ol July. It has generally appeared much earlier in tho season. Moreover, cholera does not visit Falestjne from the south, but always from the north, coming byway of Bagdad and Damascus. It has subsided where it existed iu and about Aleppo. Only a very alight inconvenienco has been experienced tbia season from iuarantine. which now is entirely removed. Intending visitors to this country have nothing to fear from either cholera or quarantine, and they will find Falestine ordinarily healthy." Special Examiner Taylor Resigns. Washington, Oct, 17.

THREW VITRIOL IN 11IS FACE. A Mother Metes Terrible Par.isbracnt to the Betrayer of Her Daughter. Callatin. Tenn.. Oct. 17. A sensational incident occurred here to-day. Some time ago Miss Minnie Overton, well known in society circles, charged Samuel K. Elliott, a popular young man of the county, whose father is Attorney-general L. K. Elliott, the eloquent lawyer and preacher, with being the cause of her rum. He refused to marry her. This afternoon, at 5 o'clock, Klliott was in tho store of W.

FIGHTING FOR 1 RAILROAD.

Latest I'hase of the Strode Between Factions of 0. X- M. Stockholders, Cincinnati. Oct. 17. The B. fc O. party of the 0. & 31. stockholders called a meeting this afternoon aud held an election. They lirst served notice on Fresident Barnard, of the O. &. M. railroad, requesting him to appoint inspectors of elections, which he did not do. They appointed inspectors in duo form and - proceeded with the election by voting shares. One hundred and eighty-seven thousand shares out of a total of 240.000 were voted unanimously for tbe following three directors, who were declared elected, namely: Sterett McKim, of Baltimore; I). Fahnestock, of Baltimore, aud J. S. Walsh, of St. Louis. The meeting convened at 2 and adjourned at 2:00. In Judge Hunt's court, at 2 o'clock, the Ohio & Mississippi railroad party, through their attorneys, applied for an order to restrain the Baltimore party from voting 147,800 shares of their total 177,000 shares of stock, ou tho ground that the voting power of this portion of the stock was not represented .by proxies from individual shareholders, as the law requires. This case was in hearing when court adjourned, and it will bo resumed Monday. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, when the application was made in Judge Hunt's court, tho Baltimore A- Ohio party was represented by Attorney Colston to resist the motion. However, a deputy sheriff was dispatched to the meetinir of stockholders to servo notice on them of an application for an injunction, but he arrived tive minutes after the meeting had adjourned. Now it is claimed that the fact that the attorney for the Baltimore party in court, before the meeting of the stockholders was over, was an admission ou their part of knowledge of the facts and that therefore the btockholders' meeting was in contempt of court since a formal notice to them by the sheriff was unnecessary. Evidently a big legal battle is at hand. No one would be surprised to seo a contest in tbe courts between sets of new directors, three against three. Then quo-war-ranto proceedings are likely to be resorted to. Another theory is that obstructive tactics will be employed Jong enough for individual proxies to arrive here from Knglaud in case Judge Hunt's court should decide adversely to the Baltimore & Ohio party. An appeal of the case to a higher court would gain the desired time. BAD A LIVELY SESSION. Woman's Christian Temperance Union Transacts a Tile of Easiness at Evansville. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, Ind., Oct. 17. The State convention of tho Woman's Christian Temperance Union got down to hard work to-day, and an unusually busy session resulted.

REAL ESTATE PlflrvTNft TIP I lilljj EiOlAlIi lllrlUmr Ul .

Several Largo Sales of Residence and ltasincss Property Daring the Week. Irvington and North Indianapolis Poir.c Well Safpcards Thrown About Building AssociationsLocal Savings Societies. S03IE LAliGK TRANSACTIONS. Ileal Estate Beginning to Tick Up Sir. Shlela's Profitable Investment. The past week, including, as it did, a very exciting election, was rather quiet in the real-estate business, though a number of good-sized transactions took place. Among these was the sale of No. 075 North Feunsylvania street by Chnrles F. Sayles, who had just completed it, to Joseph K. Lilly for S15.C00, and that of the Hoss Block by D. C. Bryan to the Indiana Investment and Savings Company for $31,000. A syndicate composed of Fittsbnrg and New York men has purchased part of Columbia Flace, the suburb laid out on the electrio line near Fairview Fark, for 14,000. The purchase has been divided into eighty lots, each 40x220 feet, and will be put on the market iu a few days. Tbe lots will be piped for natural gas. During tho week an auction sale, to close out the estate of Elijah T. Fletcher, has been going on at the court-house door. Among the properties sold were 240 lots in lirightwond, a long strip for factory-sites fronting on the liee line at that place and a farm of I'JS acres near by. Kody bhiel is reported to have lost $1,600 on account of lack of judgment regarding the issun of the city election. Mr. Sbiol, if the report be true, would not be deserving of any great ellusion of sympathy on tbe part of the public. It is not likely that be will go oyer the hill to tho poor house. While the campaign was in progress "Kody" was attending to some other business, and closed a deal yesterday which will enable him to get through the winter with a fair share of the comforts of life. For some time a Chicago syndicate, of which Mr. Baumann, superintending architect of the soldiers' monument, is the head, has been negotiating with Mr. Shiel for tbe property known as "Bird's Foint." at the corner of Illinois street and Indiana avenue, and for half of the property known as the "Marlowe Block," which is in the rear. Tbe deal closed yesterday. Mr. Shieldisposingof the property for 52,ooo, no commissions. The purchasers assume the estimated taxes for 1SU1 and the street improvements now assessed against it. This would make tbe price paid amount as a total to about $54,000. upon which Mr. Shiel makes a net prolit of 24.500. The syndicate has purchased this property for tbe purpose of erecting an apart-inent-houso to be seven stories high, with all modern conveniences. It will cover a frontage of 151 lect on Illinois street and 161 feet on Indiana avenue. The new building will be begun next spring and be pushed to completion, with true Chicago enterprise. Now that the election is out of the way dealers hope for a more active movement and that for thirty days at least there will be something like activity in a market in which there is no good reason for depression. There has been some activity out towards Irvinnton. East Washington street from the corporation line to that suburb is being graded and graveled to that suburb, a distance of three miles, and there is a lively hope that early next year theelectrie line will be double-tracked. AtTuxedo Fark, which came iu a few weeks ago with 4G7 lots. 150 lots have been sold, aud other property along tho line is also selling. Michigan and Ohio streets have been opened from tbe city limits to Irvington, and a number of houses are going up. There is a fair demand for North Indianapolis lots. Among a number 7f real-estate-dealers the iiip:esion prevWls that the smalllot businessm far-away additions is being overdone and it is time to discourage the platting of new additions of this character. It is considered that for speculative purposes such additions will not pan out, as tbe call will hereafter be for pieces of not less that a half acre and from that to live acres. llUILDIN'O ASSOCIATIONS. Safeguards Thrown About the Work In Nebraska Savinc Society 1-VstiTal. Everywhere there ds a growing disposition on tho part of building association members to have greater safeguards thrown around their interests by tbe legislatures of the ditlerent States. This disposition is takingform in the sbapeof petitionsto general assemblies in such States as contain no building association leagues, and in official action by leagues themselves whenever organized. Tho State of Nebraska has just passod a law regulating the actions of the savings societies that is both terse and broad in its provisions. All foreign associations wishing to enter tho State must submit to the banking board a' statement of their financial condition and a copy of the laws oi the State under which they are organized. In addition they must produce copies of their charter, constitution and by-laws, and satisfy the board of their financial strength. A further examination must also prove that the laws of the State under which the association is organized are as stringent as tnose ot Nebraska. Hereafter all local associations organized in the State mnst rouforni in constitution and by-laws to the following points: I. The associations will be required to publish reports of their condition. u. Tbey will be subject to examination by State ouiclals. a. It will be the duty of the banking board to see that unsafe associations are put in the hands of a receiver. 4. The State law punishes officers of building associations for making false reports or false entries on tbeir books. 5. Their bonds and mortgages must be negotiable. t. Their constitutions must contain provisions: (a) For the right to withdraw as prescribed In the statute. lb) For the right to prepay loans. (c) For a rebate of advauce premiums when loans are prepaid. 7. Tho febares must be non forfeitable. 8. The association must be co-operative, in fact as well us in name. ii. The associations are restricted in a salutary manner as to the acquisition and holding of real estate. 10. Their organization papers must contain no unjust. Inequitable or oppressive featme. II. Their organization papers nuiKt be approved by the banking board, and cannot bo amemled without its cousent. All the above safeguards are guaranteed by law. and are so manifestly just aud sensible that they will stand as a guide to other States in establishing regulations of a similar kind. Never in the history of financial institutions has there been so stupendous a system of popular savings inaugurated as in the building society Bcheme. That the most absoluto safeguards should be thrown around the organization aud carrying on of these depositories of the people is self-evident, and it is a source of congratulation to ail friends of the movement to see the State Legislatures taking the matter squarely iu hand. A few Wvtika ago the allied building associations of Cincinnati gave a ''co-operative festival at a beautiful resort near that city. The speeches extolling the association idea were made by prominent representatives of the saving society interests, anil the meeting is said to have aroused renewed interest in the associations anil their work. The idea could be profitably followed out in a modified form everywhere. Association Notes. TheJEtna association can make a few lush-class loans. The Provident association, at 2 Fast Market street, still has money to loau to builders. The North New Jersey-street association has all its funds out. and applications for more than it can supply. The Alex. Metzger agency closed out the entire Beaty additiou this week at auction, comprising eighty-four lots. A niruber of nor homes are being erected on Pennsylvania street, near Fifteenth, almost al'. of them being built with association funds. Mills !i Small, real-estate agents, advertised a large number of farm and city

propertiesinlastSnndav'sJournal.tlirout-h which tbey sold one-half of tho lUt during

the week. The Blull Bond association, one of tho leading South-side societies, has had a profitable year in tbe one just clotting, and hat succeeded iu keeping all itsmuney constantly loaned. Tho Homestead association has had a very prosperous summer, and built a number of hich-class homes for members. A large number of tbe dwellings have been in the Marietta Fark neighborhood. The Prospect-street association has all its funds out and could loan more could they be had. The brisk building boom that has taken hold of the southeastern part of - the city largely augmented the list of borrowers in this society. The Fast Michigan-street association is almost ready to wind up its shares and terminate, after an existence of less than six years. The members will probably unite in forming another society that will arise, Fhcenix-like, out of tho ashes of the old. The Indianapolis Saving and Investment Company has almost caught up with its borrowing list and will soon have funds to put out. Another series will mature in December, and the loaning fnnd will be necessarily smaller until this is out of the way. A local building association is greatly needed at Elwood, Ind. A number of the State societies ha re flourishing branches there, but the citizens are anxious to establish a strong local company that will collect funds and enable the people who are flocking there to build tbeir own homes. All the other gas towns have strong local associations. Kokomo leads with a home society containing twenty-five hundred shares of stock. The Home-builders' association is erecting handsome homes in Woodruff Place for two of its members. The same society has iust finished several new houses in Marlette l'ark. Although one of the youngest of the local associations, being but six month's old. the Home-builders has erected more homes than many of the older organizations. Tho Franklin association does one of the largest busiuessesof the strictly down-town associations. One can enter at any time and procure a loan without the payment of back dues, thus enabling a oorrower to obtain a loan on the most favorable terms. All of the newer associations are organized upon this plan, and it is probable that, with tbe strong competition for new business among the many associations of the city, it will be found necessary by all to adopt this sensible method of inducing persons to join. The Railroadmen's association, like the balance of the local societies, reports tbe building season just closing the banner one of its existence. There has never been a time during the past year that tbe society has had an idle dollar, and the most of tho time has been compelled to decline desirable loans from lack of funds. Frotits run large and steady, and never fall below 8 per cent, per annum. The society was organized and is othcered by railroad men, although among the list of stockholders are numbered men in every business. No better evidence of the constant development of the city through the saving associations can be atlorded than by tbe examplo of a new addition platted on Michigan avenne. . near State street, the past summer. Between thirty and forty homes have been erected in the addition, ninetenths of them with funda fur- , mshed by the local societies. All of the bouses are occupied by the owners, who are railroaders and mechanics. Every owner was a tenant until able to) own his own hearthstone through the beneficent provisions of tbe associations.
