Fatal Epidemic Among Horses

New York, 1895

A horse belonging to Samuel Wilson, of Glen Cove, died as its owner was driving it through Sea Cliff Saturday afternoon. The night before one of a gray team owned by the Protective Union company was found dead in the stable. Veterinary surgeons attribute the sudden death of the horses to a new epidemic that has appeared among stock this spring.


Uncle Willis Getting Well

The many friends of Valentine Willis, of East Williston, who has been seriously ill, will be glad to learn that his condition has so much improved that he is again able to go out, and a short spell of pleasant weather will make him feel as well as ever.


Accused of Manslaughter

Mrs. Catharine Nigro, an Italian midwife of New York City, was held in $1,000 bail in the police court of Long Island City Friday morning accused of manslaughter in the second degree. She was arrested the night before charged with causing the death of Mrs. Louisa Fierro.


Cattle Ordered Killed

Several more cows on C. M. Pratt's stock farm at Glen Cove have been ordered killed by the state veterinary surgeon. The cows are afflicted with tuberculosis and have been under treatment for over a year. Last year Mr. Pratt had to have twenty of his cows killed.
