ATB VETERINARIAN AND LIVE STOCK-
COMMISSION. . Lincoln special to the Omaha-Herald : The state veterinarian and live-
stock commission started this afternoon-on a trip to the northern part of the state.-Complaints
.
of glandered horses have come-
in from Jackson , Ponca and Dakota City ,
and these points will be visited and the-
cases examined , and if they are fonnd to be-
glanders in fact , tho animals will be con-
demned¬
and killed-.The
.
prevalence of the disease among the-
horses of the state is far greater than has-been* ' imagined , and it is evident that the-establishment* of tho commission and the-appointmentK of a state veterinarian came-none too soon. The commission has been-traveling almost constantly examining into-complaints and condemning and destroy ¬
ing stock , but they have found it impossi-ble
¬
to keep up with the demands upon-them , and there are now eighty-one com-plaints
¬
that havo been reached.-An
.interestingcxperimentand one fraught-
with a good deal of importance , if any re-
eults-
at all are obtained , will be tried soon-at the college farm. Dr. Gerth has ob-
tained¬
" a supply of hog cholera virus , and-proposes to try the merits of it as a pre-ventive
¬
of the disease by inoculating a-
number of hogs at the college farm. He-will inoculate fifty head with the virus , and-then turn in with them ten uninoculated-animals to see whether the disease in its-mild form from inoculation is communica-ted.
¬
. When tho inoculated hogs have re-covered
¬
some of them will be exposed to-the disease in order to test the efficacy of-
the process as preventive.*
A HIGHWAYMAN KILLED. "Give me that-cash box , " were the words which were shout-ed
¬
". intothuears of an Omaha street car dri-
ver.
¬
- i -. The result was a duel with revolvers-
at short range , terminating in the death o-
an audacious desperado who has been car-
rying¬
ou the business of a road agent along-the line of the street railway for two weeks-
past. .
Last evening at G:4S o'clock H. L. Wool-dridge
-
, driver of street car No. 10 , of the-
green line , shot andkilled a highwayman-who attempted to rob the car of its cash-
box , near the corner of Eighteenth and-
Lake streets. The coroner was summoned-and when the spot was reached a crowd of-
curious spectators were found surrounding-the body of the desperado , which lay out-stretched
¬
on the sidewalk. The eyes were-partly open , but glazed in death ; the lips-were slightly parted , stained with the lastl-ife blood ; the arms were rigid and cold ,
the fingers of one clutching tho butt of a-
revolver with which the robber had at-tempted
¬
to shootthedriver. Theshirthad-been torn open and the bloody spot on the-breast showed where the unerring bullet of-
Wooldridge had "pierced the heart. The-face as evidently that of a young man-not more than twenty-one or two years of-
age , bearing lines which showed its owner-to be a bad , desperate character.-
The.
driver of the car tells th ? story tluib :
"I was driving along Eighteenth street at a-
rapid gait , as I was a little behind time in-
making the switch where I was to meet the-car going in the opposite direction. 1 saw-a man standing on the sidepilk , about ton-feet from the Lake street crossing. He sig-
nalled¬
me to stop , and walked toward the-cav. . I slowed up. and as I did so I placed-my baud on 1113' revolver , which I was hold-ing
¬
between my knees. I thought perhaps-lie might be a robber , and remembering my-
experience of ten days ago , I determined to-
be prepared for him. He came to within-three feet of me , and in a threatening tone-of voice said , "Give me that cash-box , ' at the same time raising his gun. I-
pulled mine at the same time , but he fired-
the quickest. I wasn't much behind him ,
though , and just as his gun was discharged-mine went off. His bullet whistled past me-
pretty close , and I knew he meant busi-ness.
¬
. There were two ladies and a man in-
the car. and I called to the man to come-and hold the horses. By this time the rob-ber
¬
was running down the street. I jumped-from9> "J , him. When he-
saw' the car and ran after
B. me coming he turned and . red at me-
twice. . I blazed at him once between his-two shots. He then ran on to the side-walk
¬
and turned and was going to shoot-again , when I took a good aim and let him-have it. He dropped over on the sidewalk-and never moved. When I got to him he-
was just alive and that was all. He didn'tspeak a word. In a minute or two there-was a big crowd gathered , as tho people-heard the shots. Just what happened then-I don't know. Pretty soon somebody said-ho was dead , and then I got on the street-car and drove to the barn. [Omaha Bee-

ANOTHER GREAT GENERAL GONE.-
Gen. . Gco. Ji. McCleltan Dies Suddenly at JEH-iZToijie in Hew Jerseil.-
Gen..
. Georgo B. McClellan. excommander-ol the army of the United States , died-suddenly on the morning of the 29th at-Orange , N. J. , from exhaustion produced-by repeated shocks of neuralgia of the-heart. . Though ho had completed his fifty-ninth
-
year , he had preserved not only-bouyant spirits but a buoyant , youthful-agility. . Therefore , when he began , about-three weeks ago , to feel pains of the heart ,neither he nor his medical man , Dr. Sew-ard
-, of Orange , nor any of his family , re-
garded¬
it as serious. 'Ho and every one-else believed that the troublesome malady-was either gone for good or at least for a-long time. In that belief the general or-dered
¬
his carriage and drove to Orange , ac-companied
¬
by his only daughter. He saw-several gentlemen on business and made an-appointment with one of them for 11-o'clock the same day. He returned home-in excellent spirits , ate heartily at his meal-hours , and retired to rest. About 11-o'clock the pains returned and a mes-senger
¬
on horseback was dispatched-down lull for tho doctor , who came-back with tho least possible delay.-When
.he entered the bedroom.of the gen-
eral¬
he found his patient in extreme agony-.Paroxysms
.returned with a rhythmical-
frequency that was alarming and the-homeopathic remedies which the skill of-
the doctor suggested were no more eiiicien-tthan those which had boon supplied by the-intelligent affection of Gen. McClellan'swife and daughter , who had ministered to-him unceasingly from the fir t alarm. For-four hours he suffered most excruciating-agony. . About 3 o'clock there was a change-.The
.eyes of the patient began to grow-
brighter and his face , that had been white-with pain , began to recover its usual ruddy-hue.. He gave a long deep sigh of relief ,
smiled faintly and said : "I feel easy now ;
thank God , I have pulled through. " Then-he sank back upon tho pillow as if ex-
hausted¬
, closing his eyes. The doctor ,who was watching his face with extreme-solicitude , saw unerring signs of approach-ing collapse , and whispered to Mrs. Mc-
Clellan¬
: "I fear he is dying. " It was but-too true. General McClellan raised himself-up on one hand , half opened his eyes , and-fell back dead.-
George
.
Brinton McClellan was born in-Philadelphia , Dec. 23,1820 , and was a son-of Dr. Georgo McClellan. He graduated-from the University of Pennsylvania in1842 , and from West Point in 184G. leav-ing
¬
both institutions with distinction , his-commission from West Point being that ol-
brevet second lieutenant of engineers. HiE-
first actual service of note in the army-was during the Mexican war, and for his-dashing gallantry at the siege of Vera Cruz-and in the battle of Cerro Gordo , Con-treras
-
, Churnbusco , Molino del Roy , and-Cbapulptopec he received tho brevets oi-
first lieutenant and captain. At the close-of the Mexican war and his brilliant share-therein ho returned to West Point. He re-mained
¬
there until 1831 , when ho was-iissigned to important duty in the con-struction
¬
of Ft. Delaware , and subsequently-in his engineering capacity , to an expedition-tor the purpose of exploring the sources ol-
the Red River of the North. He was again-placed in charge of a largo undertaking in-
the preliminary survey of the Northern-Pacific railr < a I. In 1855 he was promoted-to be captain , and that year was detailed-to Europe as a member of a military com-mission
¬
to visit the seat of war. As a re-sult
¬
of this very important mission he pre-pared an official repoit upon ' 'the Organi-sation
¬
of European Armies and Operationsi-n the Crimea , " which was published by-
order of the government , and which , even-in those earlier days , whowcd remarkable-oinprehension: not only of military affairs ,
lint wonderful prescience and skill in the-inalysis of diplomatic inaneuvrcs , togetheri-vith a deep-thinkingobservjition nf human-lature. . In 1857 he resigned from the-irmy and accepted the position nf chief-mgincor and vice-prcbident of the Illinois-Central railroad , which position lie cniitiu-icd
-
to fill until ho was chosen president of-
he, St. Louis and Cincinnati railroad in-
he: latter year. At the outbreak of the-reat: trouble between the north and smith ,
iow over , hit , really large qualities of soul-ind his phcnominal energy and reach oi-
cleas first gained anything like commeiiHU-ate
-
scope. In 1SG1 his services were en-
isted-
by the governor of Ohio in oryaiiiz-ng the volunteers called for by the first-roclamation> , and he was given commune !

he president appointed him a major-ener.'il
-
of tho United States army and or-
lerid-
him to disperse the confederate force-iccupying and threatening to overrun West-ffrginia. . By a movement displaying tin-inest
-
military tactics combined with cner-etic
-
_ action , he met and defeated the-nemy one of the most memorable of tho-iarly battles of the rebellion and July 14 ,
xactly one month after receipt of his-irders , reported his task accomplished-nd West Virginia cleared of disturbingl-ements. . For these notable services the-batiks of congress worn publicly tendered-Sin , and after tho great battle of IJull Run-c was specially summoned to Washington-o receive command (July 25)) of a division-omprising thedepnrtmunts of Washington-nd Northeastern Virginia. This eminent-ecognition of his woith and ability as a-
oldicr was followed three weeks later by-he still more honorable honor of beins-laced in command of the department of-
he Potomac , and August 20 following beas still more flatteringly , though none the-ss; deservedly , given control of the army-f the Potomac.-
The
.
president sent the following telegram-f condolence to Mrs. McClellan :
"I am shocked by this news of your hiis-and's

.The.
following has been promulgated by-
he president for tho information of the-
ublic :
EXECUTIVE MANSION , October 27. For-early eight months a large share of tha-ime of the presidsnt has been devoted tol-
ie hearing of applications for office and-etermination of appointments. Much of-
ic time thus spent has undoubtedly sub-jrved
-the public good , some of it has been-
xcrificed to the indulgence of the people in-
icir national insistence upon useless interl-ews
-
, and some of it hasbeen unjustifiably-asted. . The public welfare and due re-ird for the claims of those whose interests-i the government areentirelydisconnected-ith officeholdirg imperatively demand-iiat in the future the time of the presidentl-iould bo differently occupied , and he con-dently
-expects that all good citizens will-
cquie&ce in the propriety and reasonablo-ess
-of the following plan adopted to that-
id :
After the first day of November the presi-nt
-; will decline to grant interviews to-lose seeking public positions or their ad-ocates.
-. Mondays , Wednesdays and Fri-
ays-
during that month from 10 to 11-clock in the morning he will receive such-jrsons as call on strictly public business ,id on the samo days at 1:30 in the after-aon
-he will meet those who merely desire-
pay their respects. On all other days-id times during that month he will re-ive
¬
only cabinet officers and heads of do-irtmcntd.S-

CONSULS TO REMAIN-
.It.
is understood Secretary Bayard cloe3> t contemplate making any changes in-ie consular service in countries south of-ie United States for some time. It is the-ilicy of the state department to cultivate-itndly relations with Mexico , the South-id Central American people , and extend-ir commercial intercourse in that direc-[> n. For this reason the consuls who-ive already secured tho good will of the-ople with whom they have to deal , it is-ought , will be of greater service just now-an would new men who would have to-vote much of their time at first making-quaintances and winning confidence. Thelay in filling consular and diplomatic po-ions
-: is due no more to a desire to respect-e tenure of office law than to wish to-aintain high standing of tho service.-
