HORSE NOTES.

The San Francisco Chronicle of the 18th inst. says
that the young trotting horse Steinwsy. recently
sold by Colonel Stoner. Of Paris. KY. arrived on
the night of the 18th, in charge Of Samuel Gamble.
of San Francisco Steinway is half brother to tho
California trotter Santa Claus. He is by Strathmore.
son of Hambletonian, dam by imported Albion.
Steinway trotted the second aud third heats In
2:32I and 2:3lX as a two-year-old, In Lexington.
He also won tho Threeyear-old Stakes last year at
the Kentucky Agricultural and Mechanical Associa-
tion Fair Lexington. making three heats in 2:2b
2:311S and 2311s. Mr.. Gamble also brought with
new horse disease, says the Turf, Field and Farm,
has broken out in Kentucky. Cynthiana and its VI
cinity just uch exercised disease which
has broken out among the horses in that neighbor-
hood. The early symptoms resemble distemper, aud
after being attacked the Kidneys and bowels be-
come involved, and the disease then assumes fatal
form. Many prominent farmers in Harrison county
have lost valuable animals from the effects of this
nalady and the rapdity with which 1t is spread
ing is exciting considerable alarm. SO far the vets
are at fault arrestng it before It its var
able phases. From letter just received from Gym
thiana we gather tho fact that the disease is SINH
lar type OF influenza to that which was 30 fatal in
1873 throughout the country.
The first fall meeting of the National Fair Associa-
ton, held at Washington. D. O., was not only brill
liant popular success, but wound up with q hand

abode of an eccentric old named Patrick J. Hous
ton. He was quite q character and was known to
the gamins Of the neighborhood by the nickname
of 'Pat Rooney" The old man led q secluded
life and supported himself by peddling picture
frames. OF his history but little was known. Once
he told neighbor that he had wealthy friends living
in Bridgeport Conn. 1t said that he was miser
and had ltd away among his rickety furniture u
large sum of money. This was. however. believed
to be idle gossip He was frequently visited by well
dressed young lady. It his daughter, who lived
with married sister in Mulberry street. She called

children He refused and tho girl left with tears in
her eyes. Houston remained in his room all day.
and last evening the landlady, Miss Sarah Foley,
discovered smoke issuing from the room in which
the hermit dwelt. The police and hremen were

smoke. For some time they unable
ton was inside they worked vigorously and soon
succeeded in distinguishing the flames. The room
was searched, and on heap of old papers in

A STRANGE PRocERDING.
Houston was born IN Ireland sixty-hve years ago.
He came to this country when young. and went to
live at Bridgeport, Conn. There he married. Some
years ago he disappeared from his home. and was

present system of management Of prisons believe
in the necessity of capital punishment. Until we
shall have prisons where the moral ameioration of
criminals is made sure Of capital punishment will
be needed. Criminals come out Of prison nowadays

made to classify them and bring the proper in
huences to bear them for their entire reformation
1t may be set down true that more murders
would be committed IL tho death penalty were abol-
