The MeinoriallPoeni.
The following beautiful poem was
read yesterday during the Confed
erate exercises by RevT. W. S. Creasy.
We did not refer to it yesterday be
cause at the time our report was
written, we did not know that the
poem would be read, although the
manuscript had been previously
submitted to our inspection. It is a
beautiful, touching tribute to "our
deathless dead," and Mr. Creasy
delivered it in a very feeling .and im
pressive manner. It was written by
Miss Mary F. Sanders, of this city,
and is entitled:

Three times was our flag torn loose

Three times replaced by the hand of

And Whiting lay biting the dust;
It seemed, surrender indeed now we

Not yet! the list's not complete.

With waving sword and flashing eye,
Rally's the men, again to the fray
They rush like tigers despoiled of

When their leader laid low at

How vastly great the sacrifice

POISONOUS MEAT FOOD.
Terrible Diseased Condition of
Condemned at Buffalo.
New York Herald.
Buffalo, N, Y. May 3, 1889.
friends of Western dressed
Cattle
-The
beef
have received a tremendous set back
in this city during the past few days
and the opponents of the Cantor
Dressed Beef bill are all but silenc
ed. On Tuesday avening the Jacob
Dold Pac king Company, the largest
concern of its kind in Buffalo, re
ceived a consignment of twenty
head of cattle from a shipping firm
in Kansas City. The car containing
them passed through the stock yards
without inspection, and later in the
evening was received by employes
of the company and switched off on
Dold's private track.
LUMP JAWEB CATTLE.
It chanced that a passer by hap
pened to pass close to the car and
looked in at the cattle. He saw a
horrible sight. Fifteen of the ani
mals were suffering from that loath
some disease known as "lump jaw,"
and their heads were a mass of fest
ering cancers. He at once informed
John Rast, the city cattle inspector,
vho came and condemned the catj
tie.
I saw the animals the next morn
ing, and they were truly a terrible
sight. From their lower jaws de
pended huge bjinches of honey
combed matter, from which a green
ish humor constantly exuded. Their
eyes were swollen and shut and
their teeth were exposed and ready
to fall from the sockets. Words ut
terly fail to describe the condition
of these animals. One of the tumors
was cutjoff and found to weigh over
eleven pounds.
President Summers, of the Board
of Health, and City Physician Clark
wtr nrpspnt at. the time, and the
latter told me that there was enough
poison in the cattle to kill every
person in the State. One drop of it
inserted beneath the skin would kill
a person inside of twenty-four hours.
He said that once dressed no one
could detect it from perfectly
healthy beef, though it could not
fail to produce the' most virulent
form of blood poisoning.
POPULAR EXCITEMENT. ,
The whole city i terribly stirred
up over the matter, and a great
clamor is going up for a .more thor
ough inspection. , '
There is at present but one cattle
inspector in Buffalo, and he is utter
ly unable to inspect every car load
that i8-trought into the city. About
t.hrpe thousand head of cattle arrive
