THE HORSE DISEASE,

From tie Ke.o York Sun, Fop IA,
Yesterday Sun reporter called upon 1Ir,
Robert Bonner, at the Ledger ctfice, to obtain
his opinion Of the dropsical disease, which has
few days. Mr. Bonner has no apprehension that
the malady will be attended with auy yerv ar.
lous consequences.
"I do not think" said he, that youne and
vigorous horaes viii be likely to catch it, It ia
only the old and broken-down animals that are
liable to get it-that is, as far as the dropsical
tendency ls concerned In one-ha1f OF the cases
where the legs swell it is probably owing to % tho
horses I, feet being bound. The best remedy for
this is to take of the shoes for time and apnlS
an oil meal poultice." ft>1'
;, Keporter--Do you think, Mr. Bonner. that
this d1sease has no connection with the recent
ep1uemc; that, in fact any horse is liable to get

malady or otherwise?
Dir. Bonner-I think any old or oyer,ror1red
morse ls liable to catch it, though, doubtless.
such as have already been weakened and "a.
ouceo ~ the epidemic are likely to catch it mora
easily than others. |'A01o
!, Keporter-With regard to the dropsy, do Won
tn1nk perfect rest essential for its cure
hr. bonner-By no means; the best medicine
horse can have under such circumgtances is
moderate exercise. During the recent en;demic
~ ~: Bergh made fatal mistake in forcing tie
.ln unila avenue Company to return go many of
tueis norses to the stables. A diminution of
morK vas certainly necessary, but not more 80
man limited exercise. Had the horses been al-
iowed to make one trip day the result would,
| am sure, been very beneficial, and the number
OF tatal cases considerably less.
Reporter-Do you think the disease likely to
become epidemic?
Ar. Bonner-No, unless By neglect Or IN
proper treatment it should turn into farcy linen,
OF course, it would become 80. /

the breakwater had been demolished, the merci-
less waters attacked the elevator ITSELF and their
terrific blows soon crushed in its doors, and tho
sea poured in upon the floor, breaking it down.
Aside from this the building is not materially
damaged, but it the breakwater is not soon re-
paired. the foes OF ice this winter will do incal-
culable injury. A short piece Of track to tho
rear OF the elevator, used to back unloading
trains upon, has been washed away. The freight
house was threatened, but the freight was all

The tug Bob Anderson was moored outside ut
the commencement OF the storm, aud was finally
abandoned BY its Captain and crew. Its owners
offered . reward to any one who would take it
through the canal. Captain Wheeler, Of Oneota,
volunteered fGr the dangerous task, and succeed-
ed IN placing the boat in safety.
The breakTater was only about one-third long
enough to cover the canal, and it was therefore,
unprotected. fortunately it was not injured.

DR.. RaUcH AND OUR SANITARY CONDITION.

| To the Editor of I'll: Chicago Tribune:
! SIR: The malicious attack in the Times upon
| our Sanitary Superintendent, DR.. J. E. Raucl,
will not only fail Of its object, but will rally al
good citizens to the support Of the gentleman
who originated the Board Of Health, and who
has 80 faithfully labored for the adoption OF
proper sanitary regulations to meet tne require
1nonte OF our city.
Doubtless the person who 80 ardent1y deeires
to be his successor would promise tho removal
of tho city ofa1 at less cost than at present, and
doubtless. wou1d guarantee that Ogden Slip and
Healy Slough, and all the streams in tho neigh
borhood of the stock-Iards, should no longer
exhale disease-breeding odors; that our citizens
should no longer breathe air contaminated by
the eickening swells from the slaughter and
packing -houses; and that our river should no
longer be d filthy sewer, But who would go
gate such villanous attack Men
OF this stamp are assasslnH. Beset on
the one hand by citizens suffering in
comfort, health, and depreciation Of property,
bined interests, Which have baen able, in some some
instances, to control legislation Dr. Rauch's po-
eition has been no Binocure.
Honest and earnest in his desire to injr1re no
one; alive to the vast Importance OF the pack
ing interest to Chicago; believing that We can
not live on bread alone, but must have alaugh-
tering- houses convenient to the city,-he has
striven to do justice to all
What other cities can boast Of better sanitary
conditions than Chicago, excepting those that
are blessed with tidal streams What other
city has grown with the rapidity Of Chicago,
with our eyer-increasing necessities for proper
sewerage and health protecting 1aws7
That there is much yet to be done, no one will
question, nor that the public will encourage and
support our Superintendent in the full discharge
OF his duties.
Enemies are friends when they discover to us
our shortcomings.
The packing and slaughtering houses cannot
be driven from us, but cannot they be made to
cease giving offence7 Are there not scores OF
devices for accomplishing such necessary re-
suits?
Is it the part Of wisdom to wait until spring,
when the cholera will be at our doors, before en-
forcing our sanitary lawH2
Wait until then, and how many OF these estab-
fahments are there that with their best efforts
could complete their arrangements before cold
weather again set in?
Thus, throughout the summer, our people
would, we fear, find the threatened destroyer at
their doors, made moro ready by the unsup-
pressed nuisances.
we think it would be wise to issua an order
4.o,o that, on the 1st Of March, let say, all Of
these establishments shall be closed, unless they
shal have in constant operation or application
some method Of suppressing all offence.
Ihls would give us glorious summer a1ter
our winter OF discomfort. <.

One of the largest and most reliable
confectionery establishments in the city
is that of Mr.. B. Rocco, wholesale and
retail dealer in plain and fancy candies,
No. zig Main, corner of Adams street.
Mr.. Rocco has large stock of fruits,
nuts, raisins, fgs, candies and cOnfec-
tions. Cakes of every description are
baked to order and kept for sale. The
best and purest brands Of wines, ales
and porters can be found at Rocco's.
Cigars, both imported and homemade,
can be purchased of him at the lowest
rates. In fact, Mr.. Rocco has a SPLEEN
did stock of selected goods. He has
large experience in the trade and knows

ing the city should visit Rocco's estab-
lishment and make whatever purchases
they may require. They can do no bet

They money market is without any
material alteration. The applications
for loans at some of the banks were
rather heavier, but on the whole we can
report no increase in the demand. There
continues to be heavy shipments of cur
rency to the interior, and it is thought
by some well posted in such matters that
every bale of cotton that comes here is
fully paid for by the merchant or factor
as soon as it leaves the plantation.
Exchange continues rather heavy, al
though the counter demand for Eastern
checks is usually larger toward the close
of the week, and bankers generally
quoted l@sc off as the counter rate on
commercial bills and par selling for
Eastern checks. One bank alone-the

MES and no other companies can man
ufacture sewing machines without OBJ
tanning license from them. The Will
son Shuttle Machine company purchased
| their license Of them without being re-
stricted in their prices, and the conse-
quence is they now find they can afford
to undersell them, and they do so and
still make good profit The Wilson
Shuttle lhas all the important patents
claimed by the other leading ma
chimes. and many others which
they do not possess. The three
principal movements of sewing ma
chine are the needle, shuttle and
feed, and in the Wilson these are all
worked by the rotary movement Of one
short shaft. The needle bar is sur
rounded by patent adjustable bushings,
aud the balance-wheel and treadle by
adjustable coins, which makes the ma
chine more durable. Again, no other
shuttle machine has a balance-wheel or
brace, and therefore none others run
50 easily and keep clear Of a lady's
dress. The Wilson shuttle. by having
forty-eight feeding teeth, instead Of
twenty-five, has more surface power,
and, therefore, greater force to the feed,
besides having feed on both sides of the
needle. 1t is the fastest shuttle ma
chine known, making FIVE stitches to
each revolution of the driving wheel;
makes but little noise and runs easily.
1t makes the lock-stitch both sides alike,
and does it more nicely. 1t is easily adj
justed to all Kinds Of work and is very
easily learned to run.
SUGGESTIONS TO THE MANAGERS.
Newspaper men are suggestive indi-
viduals, hence we would suggest TO the
managers that the visitors to the Expo
stion be prohibited from making their
exit and entrance from the galleries by
the same stairways. For several even
ings the crowds have been so large that
a jam often took place on the stair
ways and landings, causing "stoppage
in transitu for many minutes. We
throw out this hint, knowing well that
the managers cannot think of every
thing, and are thankful for any sugges-
ton that will add to the success of the
Exposition. The sale of articles to The
highest bidder should be prevented. Last
evening the owner of the headless rooster
made herculean efforts to dispose Of the
decapitated bird TO the highest bidder
This is wrong and utterly at variance
with the objects of the Exposition. We
do not desire as being understood TO
make any war on the rooster or his
friend, but the thing is Objectionable.
Outside the building it would be all
right.
