HORSES SHIPPED TO EUROPE.
Great Numbers Sent Abroad for Army
Enrm nnh Other rmrnOscs.


Something very near 100000 horses ar,
shipped from this port every year" de
cared prominent horse dealer to New
York Times reporter, "They go to all parts
of the world and are used for all manner
of purposes. Some of them go to drag ar.
tillery in the German army, some to carry
cuirassiers in the French; others go to draw
the numbering London bus and others again
to serve on the farms of all the countries of
Europe"
While the 10O,O 900 figure, at which this
dealer set the export business, was consid-
cred too high by several other men in the
trade who were visited by the reporter,
they all said that from 2,00G 20 3,000 month
was certainly not too high, and that some
mouths, when business was unusually brisk,
the number might well reach 1000. THE
trade has been wonderfully lively since the
trolley cars began to come in said another
man who is up to date in the horse world.
"WhCI the horse cars were superseded by
trolleys and cable lines, the market vas
flooded with horses of that sort. They are
very cheap and the demand for them in this
country was not very large. AS a conse-
quence hundreds of them were shipped
abroad. / believe that fully 1000 horses
have been shipped from this port within
the last month. The majority are draft
horses, but there are also numerous roadSters
and saddle horses.
MANY of the London bus and cab horses
come from here. They are bought up by
dealers in big patches and sent over. While
good many of these horses probably find
their way into the German army, | am not
aware that there is any special trade in that
direction, or that there are any dealers
who make 1t a separate branch Of their
business to purchase horses for that purpose
| know horse dealers who are always the
lookout for animals which will serve as
heavy draft horses for London brewery wag
ons and furniture removal trucks, but don't
know of any special demand just now for
the German army. Beside these horses"
continued the speaker, 1--WE get hundreds from
Canada. There is a gread demand in some
quarters for Canadian horses, and they help
very materially to swell the numbers ex-
ported annually"
The bulk of the export trade is con-
troed by the Hamburg-American Steamship
company, the North German Lloyd and the
White Star freight line steamships. The
Atlantic Transport company does also an
immense trade every year carrying over
these cargoes Of horses. Sometimes many
as 700 horses will go in one cargo, and from
the point of arrival in the old world will
be scattered throughout all the countries
of Europe and used for every purpose CON
ceivable.

A big cock-rufed grouse came plunglng
down In the barnyard at Seth Colbys near
mere the other day, and strutted about among
the hens, giving himself all sorts of airs
says Bear Creek Pa) letter to the New
YORK sun. The rooster that had charge Of
this flock of hens gazed at this impudent in
truder In astonishment for a few seconds
and then bristled up and started in to show
the grouse that sole authority in that yard
was vested in himself The rooster was as
big again as the grouse. but the gamy in
terloper from the wilds put himself in shape
and treated Mr.. Rooster to something that
was surprise to him. The grouse was SO
quick and fierce in his fighting that after
three lively rounds the rooster turned tail
ana retreated to a far corner OF the barn
yard. The victor couldn't crow but he
jumped upon a mound of straw and looked
the surroundings over with such an i'm
perious air that II spoke louder of his tri-
umph than a crow that could have been
heard mile. After thus goatng over his
victory the wild cock came of the mound
and strutted about among the hens with
more assurance than before. The hens did
not conceal their admiration for the auda-
cious gallant, and hudded around him,
rightful lord, beaten and Inundated in his
corner. For half an hour the grouse enjoyed
his pleasing triumph, and then whirred
away TO his wooded haunts.
And them hens" says Seth Colby, who
witnessed the remarkable exhibition from
the window OF his hay NOV, 'looked sorrier
than a widder when that dandy pheasant
left 'em. and they kept II up so long that
they didn't recognize the rooster for more'n
two days"

DISCUSS NEEDS OF UNION DEPOT.
Committees VIII Call on President
perL.ins md Irgc His Aid.

The committee appointed on the new union
depot matter by the Commercial club, met
with the directory of the Transmissssippi eX-
position yesterday afternoon. The eXtraordi-
nary need Of depot facilities. in view of the
approaching exposition, was vigorously dis
cussed and the sentiment of boycott against
the roads refusing to go into the scheme
for a metropolitan depot was openly ex
pressed. In view of the fact that President
Perkins of the Burlington system will soon
visit this city, it was decioed that he should
be waited on by both the directory of the
exposition and the new depot committee
of the Commercial club. and urged to lend
his aid in securing respectable terminal ia
ciities.
1t was resolved by the exposition directors
to aek Edward Rosewater and General Man
derson to leave for Washington next Tuesday
evening to work for the prompt passage of
the bill passed by the senate and now before
the house, unless favorable action should be
secured before that time.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-The regular
Democratic ticket of the state of New
York, revised by the state committee
this evening, is:
For Governor-Wnbur f. Porter of
WATERFOWL.
For Lieutenant Governor-Fred C..
Schraub of Lowville.
For Associate Justice of the Court
of Appeals-Robert c. Titus Of Buff
falo.
It was supposed to be settled that
Elliott Danforth, chairman of the
state committee, would be placed at the
head of the ticket to fill the vacancy
caused by the dsclination of John BOYD
Thacher. At the eleventh hour Mr.
Danforth, who has been in telephone
communication with Senator Hill, de-
cided that he would not permit his
name to be used. He told the COM
mittee so. and the managers of the
Democratic campaign got together and
decided to push Judge Porter up from
second place to first and to make
Fred c. Schraub acknowledgements
No change was made in thlrd place on
the ticket.
The committee was called to order
by Chairman Danforth at 9:15 p. m.
After roll call Bernard F. Yoke re-
ported for the committee appointed to
notify candidates, that Mr.. Thacher
had declined, but had stated that he
intended to support the Chicago ticket
and the state ticket OF. the party
Chairman Danforth called Thomas f.
Grady to the chair and presented the
name of Wilbur F. Porter as a candi-
date for governor. There were 70
more nominations.
pafora the vote WAS taken. Mr. Pur-
roy inquired where Mr.. Porter STOOD IN
regard to the platform.
Mr.. Danforth stated that Mr.. Por-
ter would stand squarely upon the
platform of the committee, and fully
endorses the Chicago platform. Inc
vote was unanimous.
Charles n. Bulger of Oswego pre-
sented the name of Frederick c.
Schraub for acknowledgement. He
stated that Mr.. Schraub was one of
the delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton and was one of the first to de-
declare himself for the Chicago ticket
and platform. Mr.. Schraub was nom
mated unanimously.
A committee was appointed and Mr.
Schraub was brought into the room
He made a short speech, IN which he
expressed his qualification at having
received the honor Of a unanimous
nomination.
All the members of the committee
were present or represented by prox-
les.
Frederick C. Schraub, the nominee
for lieutenant governor, is a native of
this state of German parentage. He
was for three terms district attorney
of Lewis county. When the dairy

Accidentni Shooting.

LEADvILLE, Colo, Sept. 2S.-In the
past ten hours, three men have been ac-
c;dentally shot at the Emmett mine. One
of the militia officers, early this evening,
accidentally discharged a shotgun, shoot
ing. Captain Kavanaugh's horse from
under him, wounding two miners, one OF
them being shot in the wrist, but slightly
injured; the other one Frank Rainey,
shot in the side, seriously injured.
Tonight Sergeant Hamilton, company
G., Cripple Creek, who was out with a
scouting party, was ordered TO halt by
Sentinel Palmer. Hamilton was a little
slow in responding when Palmer fired,
the bullet seriously woundinG him in the
left knee.
The executive committee of the miners
union, it is understood, will report
Wednesday, night whether or not they
favor calling off the strike.
Edward Boyce, of Idaho, president Of
the Federation of Miners, made an adj
dress to body of Scandinavian miners
this evening. He spoke bitterly of the
military company formed here last week
by the citizens. He advised the men to
hold out, stating that the federation
would see that their families did not suf
fer. He declared that the trouble which
has occurred here is not due to the
miners, union people, but from men
shipped in here by mine managers. The
meeting was q private one with the ex-
ception of the attendance of a few of
General Brooks staff.
