Cruelty to Car Horses.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t Is not unusual to see a car of the Belt
Line Company apparently stranded by the
track, which is quite suggestive Of a strike.
A circuit of the entire line after dark almost
any night will show that there are
several such situations, and little inquiry
and little more of observation will reveal
the fact that these cars are pulled one side
because the horses are no longer able to
drag them.
In the summer heat an occasional occur
renee of this sort should not excite much
comment, but now the situation is different.
and the public should be acquainted with
such state Of affairs that the force of
public opinion may in some measure correct
1t. After dark the company puts into
service horses which cannot be relied on to
take the cars an entire trip. and it takes no
morbid imagination to conjecture the Suf-
fering of these poor beasts before hey
finally break down and can no longer re-
spond to the stmulant Of the whip, not to
consider those which do succeed In getting
back to their stalls. 1t is positively painful
for a close observer to watch the cars of
this company pass a well-lishteL point after

of the road will justify has already injured
the business interests of this place, and if
the company shall be compelled to cease
operation, the value of property will he more
