MAJORITY AND MINORITY REPORT on THE
QUESTION OF C0NDEANIN9 TIE $500 HORSE.
As stated In yesterdays STAR, the report OF the
board appointed to examine the $500 horse used
by Col Ludlow is Inn Messrs. Beckett and Beggs
think that while the horse Is practically sound he
is not capable OF general District work. while Mr..
A. Mckenzie, the District veterinary surgeon.
thinks the horse perfectly sound and FULLY capa-
BILE OF any work requiring special speed at times.
When THE STAR reporter asked commissioner
Wheatley's opinion, he said: ''rhere seems to be
q majority and a minority report, the majority
being OF the opinion that be Is Incapable OF per-
forming the general District work, while the
minority report that OF the veterinary surgeon, Is
TO the effect that he is perfectly sound and capa-
bic or any work likely to be imposed upon him In
the use OF the District" The report is now before
the board for its action.
When THE STAR reporter asked Maj. Raymond
what action he would be likely to take in relation
to the report OF the board appointed TO examine
the $50 horse he said: Il shall certainly support
the action OF the board" As majority or the board
have reported that the horse Is not heavy enough
for District use, the superstition Is Col. Ludlow

Panther and Locomotive.

A singular tragedy lately occurred in
Algeria, on the line of the railway be-
tween Bona und Constantine. At
wild spot where the track passes
through the gorge of Nador a female
panther had installed herself with her
young ones right upon the track. The
train came up too swiftly to come to a
stop. but the panther might easily have
leaped from the track. She did not,
however, propose to do any thing of the
sort. She was playing with her young
ones at the time, and did not mean to
have her sport disturbed, at least with
ont protest. She sprang upon the
swiftly approaching locomotive with all
her force. The blow was instant death
to her. Her head and forelegs were
cut off. and her lifeless body thrown to
the side Of the track. The young pam
theirs, who. less presumptuous than
their mother. had managed to get off
the track in time, ran up and down the
line after the train came to standstill.

VALUABLE RELICS.
A Young Woman Who Is Making Money
by Searching for Them.

ny ScaEchiLS IOF hSihs
A clever young woman is building
up business of somewhat novel
character in New York and Brooklyn.
Travelling agents have long made
good thing out of antique furniture
picked up on excursions in the wilds OF
rural New Hampshire and Connecticut,
inducing farmers wives to ransack their
attics and bring out mirrors that only
wanted regilding, or brass-handled
chests of drawers in want of nothing
but polish and varnish to fetch round
sums from modern worshipers of brio.
a-brac gone by. The best hunting
ground for such things, curiously
enough, has been overlooked almost
entirely. New York and Brooklyn, as
things 60 in this country. are ancient
cities. There are low-browed Dutch
homesteads within the limits of the
former city. and old houses on Second
avenue, in the Washington square
region and on Fifth avenue itself, in
New York, which only need to yield
up their treasures to delight all the
lovers of last century carved oak,
mirrow-front wardrobes, rare spindle
legged monstrositics and choice bits OF
buhl. This young woman has begun a
series of tours among the stately old
mansions sunk to second-class boarding
houses. or gone yet further on the road
of neglect and decay. and when she
fluids relic of past grandeur, she re-
hablitates it and introduces it to an
art lover or curio lover. or person
ambitious of the repute of an art or
curio lover-with money. An old ebony
cabinet inlaid with mother of pearl, an
old dressing table with a tray of Sevres
let into the top. an old chair covered
with French lowered satins of the
early years of the century, these are
grand dukes in banishment to be re-
stored to their lost estate. 1t is pleas
ant business for young woman with
some knowledge, good eye and better
Judgment. and she makes it profitable.
