Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
New YORK, Nov. I7.-Ths deterioration
of blood in cases of horse drOpsy, nov pre-
vailing, is instanced by the fact that where
teaches are applied they soon drop OF dead.
One theory OF dropsy is that it IS caused b.
too much acOnite, but it is admitted by the
best informed persons that it results from
a premature return to work. The valuable
trOttiBg horse, Lottery, which died Of tropsy
yesterday, had been sick with the e2zlotic
for two weeks, and was very clrefu .y
nursed. On Thursday morning., however &,
dropsy appeared, terminating faially in
forty-eight hours. Lottery belonged TO
Samuel Truesdeil, was niLe years old, and
had record Of 2:Z7. He was valued a.
fifteen thousand dollars.
The japanese Consul here bas engaged
several veterinary surgeons 70 write urea
tise on the cause and nature Of the horse
disease, which will be forwarded 70 japan,
to ce used If epizootic breaks out in tha8
country.
In the car stables in New York the horses
generally are improving. They are kept on
soft diet, such as chopped hay, given in
mash, with some prepared compound food
of a vegetable nature mixed in, 10 act as a

the greatest sufferers; they have lost over

DEATH OF GINBRAL 81. F. Fanny
We are called upon this morning to ~.
nounce the death Of General d. F.
Feeny, one Of our oldest and most
respected citizens. This sad event
occurred yesterday, and the announce
ment filled the breast Of every citizen
with SORROW, for all knew and loved
him. ..-
General Feeney was first taken sick
some four or five days since. He COM
planned to us that the frequent meetings
OF Council and his attendance on COM
mittee meetings gave him more work
than he could well perform. On Friday
OF last week he went home from his
Office suffering from cold and general
debility and. remained home until
Thursday, when he came down town.
This caused a relapse which resulted
in pneumonia and caused his death.
General Feeny was born in the
county of Sligo, Ireland, and came to
thiscountry about the year 1922. He
first settled in Louisville, where he en-.
gagged in mercantile business with bis
relatives, Robert and Stephen Ormsby.
In 1928 be removed to Montgomery,
Indiana, where he remained, engaged
in mercantile pursuits, for about ten
years. He served as State Senator for
several years, and was made General of
militia. In 1888 he removed 70 this
city and by his sterling worth and ur-
bane and gentlemanly department won
all our citizens to be his friends. He
held the office OF postmaster during the
Administration of James Buchanan.
In 1860 be was elected City Clerk.
and, with the exception OF one year, has
held the office ever since. So great
was his popularity that it was useless
for any one to oppose him, and he
generally was elected without opposi-
ton. He was about seventy-five years
OF age at the time OF his death.
As a faithful husband, as kind and
affectionate father, as a reliable friend
and a courteous and polished gentle
man, General Feeny's name will be re.
mem bered and his memory cherished
by all who knew him. Peace 10 bis
