BLEECKER STREET RAILROAD STABLES.
There are about four hundred horses at
these stables. They are all worked as
usual and are improving daily. All Of
them cough, but none are considered in
dangerous condition. The food is not changed,
and the only treatment is the administration OF
simple remedies like nitre and bathing the throat
with liniments.
Mr. Sheppard, OF the firm Of Johnson Sheppard,
owners OF the Twenty-third Street line Of stages,
took the HERALD reporter through his stables and
exhibited with evident pride the condition OF the
animals. They gave evidence Of the most
careful grooming, and apparently perfect
devices for complete vetilation no doubt
conduce to the comparative excellence Of
their present condition while the dstemper is rag
ing SO violently elsewhere. When the stormy
weather began the stages were withdrawn. Eight
horses had left the. stable when Mr.. Sheppard ar
rived on Wednesday morning, and he at once or
dered them returned. There Is no evidence OF the
disease apparent in casual examination Of the

At the Seventh Avenue Railroad stables the FORE
man claimed to know nothing about his business.
He could not even give guess at the number OF
horses in the stable and had no definite idea
whether there were few or many unfit to use. One

rance OF the subordinate.
There are at the sixth Avenue Railroad stables,
Sixth avenue and Forty-third street, 800 horses.
About three hundred are quite sick, and one died on
Friday and one yesterday About thirty OF those on
