Ing two parties OF workmen, one from the Bal
sylvan1a railroad, started to build connection

chief Of police for assistance, when squad OF
forty men went to the spot and stopped the
work. Shortly after word was received from
City solicitor Bigelow that it was all right, and
the work should be allowed to go on. The
police surrendered their prisoners, and by

American Horses for the French
Cavalry.

NEW YORK, July 23.-A Paris dispatch yester-
day states that 80 American horses arrived at
Havre oD sunday for the French cavalry. They
were inspected by French officers, detailed for
the purpose, and were all accepted, at prices
ranging from 1920 TO s270, which are the top
prices for French remOuntS. The horses were
In splendid condition after their voyage no
accidents whatever having occurred on board
ship. The success OF the experiment is said to
be complete. Soon as transportation can be
had as cheaply from New York to Havre as to
Liverpool, large shipments of American horses
for the French army will be assured The diff
ference In the price Of transportation is now
$50 against Havre, but efforts are making to
have this discrimination leSsened II not abol-
ished. This shipment was made from Rich
mond. Ind. 1t is the entering wedge Of another
element Of export from the United States.
