The foreman Of these stables is middle-aged
man, native OF New Jersey, who has been all his
life In care Of horses He knows little OF, and cares
less Tor the prccepts Of the schools He has not lost
ahorse during the prevalence Of the epiz00tc This
fact-considering another, that the STOCK were in
very bad condition. and the stables are merely
shanties, and the worst in the city-speaks vol
umes for his good sense and discretion lie
gives little medicine, but plenty Of bran In their
cut feed, and bathes their throats frequently with
liniment. The only medicine administered in the
feed is nitre The horses were better yesterday
than any day previous The stable doors have been
kept open and all the ventilation possible given to
the animals. Every horse used previous to the

tlonment OF sixteen horses to two cars.
N BELT LINE RAILROAD STABLES.
At the foot Of Forty second street. North River,
are the Belt Line stables. The foreman, as usual,
is missing when inquiries are made. There are 450
horses In these stables, and 200 are sick from the
epizootc. Eight Of these are lying on their sides
one OF them, apparently dead when the HERALD re-
porter first entered, is painting and gasping when
he leaves. They all forced to perform their al.
lotted task. No Information could be obtained as
to the course OF treatment adopted at these stables

At the Ninth avenue the entire number OF
horses t925 are now on the sick list, though only
25o are in the hospital. One died this morning.
The foreman says they are better to-day, on ac-
count OF the clear wcather but also states that In
the epidemic has lost its violence. He thinks
now-thOugh he did not on Saturday night-tbat
all the companies would have saved money had
they ceased operations when the plague first
began its ravages. Half the number Of cars only
was running on this road yesterday.
TENTH AVENUE RAILROAD STABLES
OF the 207 horses in these stables, all Of them suf
ferng from the epizootlc, none have died. The
tofore now getting better. The remedies
include Tar water iumigation with tar and the az
sn OF aGe @ e % @ cars rea% On is
In operation; but no cars have been run since Sat
urday night. The foreman says II people win
eradicated." He says he has been stable boss for
twentNy-eignt N . years and . remembers everything
to equal this in extent and virulence.
EIGHTH AVENUE RAILROAD STABLE.
One only mas died. though eight Were reportea M
dangerous condition on Saturday night. Seven
trips only are rum and half the horses are not
worked. The cars win run only seven trips to-day.
SEVENTH AVENUE RAlI.ROAN STABLES.
Mr.. Forshay. President OF tnis company, states
twenty on Seventh avenue. The same gentleman
says that positively all the cars will be stopped to-
a he mas Hes the Of ae Most % Of hS Se
horses in each gang are reported by the stablemen
as eating at least two thirds their usual allowance.
SIXTH AVENUE RAILROAD STABLES.
Half the cars on the vesey street line, and half
these running to Broadway and Canal street were
running yesterday. The directors have not decided
| whether or not to run to-day. One horse died
uaily growing weaker. Mr.. Bidgood says
that neither this company nor any other
| can continue to run few cars with
decreased number OF horses longer. Those who
| would ride on five cars will crowd upon four, and
the horses used being all sick will suffer from over
loads more than those IN the stable will gain rom
rest Thus the only remedy is rest for all aIike.
THE TwENTY-THiRD STREET STAGE STABLES,
| are IN the same condition as they were yesterday
and Saturday. The care taken OF the horses has
told in favor OF the owners as well as the animals
and this line may be expected TO resume business
