CARTTNG A WAY DEAD HORSES
HEALTH DEPARTMENT WORKS NIGHT
AND DAY TO CLEAN THE STREETS.

Before the storm came up yesterday afternoon
15j horses died from the effects of the heat
Fifty-two died below Fourteenth-st. The Health
Department had worked all the night before
cleaning the streets of the bodies of horses that
died on Tuesday. and all last night they worked
again. Many people complained OF the carcasses
lying in the streets, but at the Health Depart
ment 1t was said that with their own horses
giving out and no others 20 be obtained it was
impossible to remove the bodies any faster.
DIR. Roberts. Chief Sanitary Superintendent Of
the Board of Health. said that if a horse died in
a stable the place was disinfected as soon as
the body removed, in order 10 prevent any
bad consequences.
To horses even more than to men the shower
brought relief and at least temporary removal
from danger. None of the drivers attempted to
shield their animals from the pouring rain. and
the horses stood walked in the streets, the
water streaming from their sides. enjoying the
cooling shower and taking life from its
effect. Before the rain came the bath house
that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals has established at No Ill East
Twenty -second-st was freely patronized. More
than hundred horses had been bathed there
since the early morning The place is fitted
up with qua rters where horses may be relieved
of their harness and have a rest as well as a
bath and a good rub down. Speaking OF the
work OF the horse ambulance corps, Superintend-
ent Hankinson said;
Our two big ambulances for horses are kept busy
but advise against their use for horses that
prostrated by heat.

NO DANGER OF ICE FAMINE.
MUCH TROUBLE IN DELIVERING THIS
COMMODITY IN THE HOT WEATHER.


The ice dealers of this city both in and ou, a,
the trust agree that there will be no shortage 90
ice. even though the summer should prove exceD-
tionally Nor do they expect an advance in
price. Sixty cent ice. il IS said will not be sold in
New-York for years TO come. Too many new
firms were brought into the business by the Ameri-
can Ice Company's attempt last summer to corner
the market.
Conservative ice dealers estimate that between
45Ooo0 and 100000 tons Of ice were harvested last
winter within the area from which this city draws
its supply Forty per cent Of this harvest will be
lost through melting. The remaining 60 per cent
will be sufficient. even though there should be
greatly increased demand
The only difficulty which We have encountere5
in supplying the city with ice during the recent
hot spell has been in the way OF delivery after
the ice reached the city said r A. Scott secre-
tary OF the American Ice Company, 10 a Tribune
reporter yesterday. The hot spell has been very
to draw heavy loads Loaded Ice wagons are NOT
light by any means When il comes TO pulling
them over asphalt pavements the drag is almost
TOO great for the heaviest teams. The adhesion
between the heated asphalt and the steel tires Is
great. II is like pulling through chewing gum and

Recommendation.
swITCHMEN GO ON STRIKE.
Denied by the Roads at
PittsburE.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 27.-Judging by
apparent conditions, the switchmen's
strike inaugurated Tuesday morn
ing, has proven a fat failure, but
reversal of this may result If the
strikers can make good the claims
put forth tonight. The strike
was ordered by the Switch
mems Union of North America and
the claim was made early in the day
by the union officers that every road
in the city, with the exception of the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago and
the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago d
St. Louis, would be tied up complete
ly. The developments of the day,
however, demonstrate that only one
road, the Lehigh Valley, was serious
ly affected. On this road but one
crew was at work and the road is bad
ly crippled. The company officials,
while admitting that freight traffic
has been practically suspended, say
that within "a hours they will have
all the men they need and work will
be resumed as usual. The other roads
affected were the Baltimore g. Ohio,
IL men out; Pittsburg Junction "a
branch of the Baltimore & Ohio), Is
men out; the PittSburg & Lake Erie,
four men out; the Pennsylvania, Is
men out. One hundred and fifty
would be high estimate of the num-
Der of men who struck. None of
these roads suffered much incOn-
venience, because new men were
readily secured to take the place of
the strikers, and some of the men
upon discovering that the strike or
der had not been generally obeyed re-
turned to their places. A meeting OF
the union was held in the afternoon
and the claim was made that the
strike was a success as far as it had
gone, and that within As hours the
members of the union, about ZOO
would be out.
In their demands the switchmen
asked for the enforcement of the
standard scale of wages. This calls
for 81 cents an hour for day foremen
and conductors, the night men to re.
ceive two cents more per hour, their
work being more difficult and danger
Gus. Under the new schedule the day
| helpers and brakemen are rated at %
cents an hour and the night men at 81
cents. The switchmen claim that the
tonnage handled by them in this city is
much greater than that handled by
| other men in other cities.

PIANO RECITAL.
Warm Words OF Praise For Musician
Known Here.

On the evening of the 14th, inst,
Miss Ednah Dow, of Burlington, we'll
known in this city, gave recital in
the piano room of the college conserv-
atory at Mt. Pleasant. The Republi-
can of that place contained the follow
ing account of the recital:
at is a pity the limited space of the
conservatory piano room at the college
prevented so many people from hear
ing Miss Dow's recital last Thursday
evening. 1t was one of the gems of
the musical events so far this winter.
The dash anu snap, combined with the
true artistic feeling eVinced by the
young musician, are the qualities that
render Miss Dow's playing so accept
able and pleasing. She played to that
small room full of students with all
the power and spirit that one might
expect before the largest and most
critical audience. But that is charac-
teristic of Miss DOw's playing-she
talks to an audience of few or many
through her violin with all the artistic
soul that inhabits her graceful and
viVacious body. The conservatory has
at last a teacher of the violin who
knows her instrument and is capable
of teaching it both by theory or exam
pie. 1t is great item IN musical edu-
cation to be able to hear such music
as was given at this recital by DR..
Rommel and Miss Dow"

A PRIVATE CONFESSION.
Attorney Tells story of Mrs. BONNIE
Having COnGded In Him Regard
ing Murder of Ayres.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The fact was
brought out Tuesday in the trial of
Mrs. Lola Ida BONNIE for the killing
of James Seymour Ayres, Jr., that
she had made a private confession of
her part in the tragedy on the even
ing after the homicide, several days
before she took the police officials
into her confidence. This recital was
made to Mr.. George B. Gardner, an
attorney employed in the law divi-
sion of the interior department, who
was bOarder at the Kenmore hotel
and usually sat at the same table at
which Mrs. BOnine took her meals.
Mr.. Gardner was on the witness
stand Tuesday and told his story for
the first time. He said that Mrs. Bo-
nine had sought him out and asked
his advice as to whether she should
make a public statement, and that
he had suggested to her that she
should delay her confession until the
theory OF. suicide, which was first en-
tertained, should be fully exploited.
A number of other witnesses were
heard during the day, several OF them
being men who had taken Ayres out
to neighboring saloons during the
evening of May II, and one of whom
had taken him to his room after mid
night, about two hours before he
met his death. The witness who took
Ayres to his room was young man
named Burns, who stated that when
he left Ayres the latter was perfect
ly sober. These witnesses generally
agreed that Ayres had taken about
two glasses of beer and that he was
not under the influence of liquor.
Burns said that on one occasion he
had seen Ayres treat Mrs. Bonnie
contemptuously. He said she had
nursed him (Burns) when sick and
had visited his room both day and
night. Other witnesses also testified
that Mrs. Bonnie had visited them
when sick. ......
