"In this Wholesome Meat"
Inspector Diestel of Long Island City seized a car load of meat which arrived in that city on Friday night from Farmer Benjamin Davis of Hicksville. The meat is supposed to be some of the carcasses of a herd of cattle which were killed by order of Cattle Inspector Law because there was pleuro-pneumonia among them. Two drivers who were on hand to bring the meat to this city were arrested.
At 6 o'clock last night Prof. Law, Health Officer Dr. J. Taylor, Veterinary Surgeon J. P. Donnelly, and Mr. M. Fleischauer of Avenue A in this city, the butcher, to whom the meat was consigned, had a conference. Prof. Law and Dr. Donnelly disagreed as to the wholesomeness of the meat, and it was decided to leave the question to the decision of Dr. E. M. Johnson of this city. He will be called in to-day. The meat is held awaiting the decision.
