A Careful Description of the Hussien
Team nml n Vivid Account or n
Wild Unco en the Ice.
The il rejky la a small open carriage with
four wheels ; these of the rear net larger
than the front wheels of n Victeria ; theso
of the front Apparently copied from u
wheelbarrow. Four circular springs sup sup
pert the liedy of tlie cnrriiige, w lilcli haft
two seat, oiie for the coachman, the ether
for the muster. This latter seat Is round,
nncl In elegant drejkys admits hut a sltigle
person; In ethers thoie Is room fur tw e,
but se narrow that you are obliged te pass
your arm about jour companion, lady or
gentleman. On either side two fenders or
vnrnlMied leather curve nbove the wheels",
and meeting en the hIiIe of the ltttle car
riage, vv hieh hat no doers, fenn n step com
ing witiiin a few inches of the ground.
The color of the drejky Is almost always
about tfm same. It is deep maroon with
trimmings of a sky-blue, or it is Kussiau
green with fillotsef apple-green J but w hat
ever the color selected, the shade is always
cry deep.
The v ell-stuffed scat is covered with
lcather or cloth of some dark tint. A Per
sian or a nioquette rug is under the feet.
There are no lanterns te the drejky, and it
spins along by night without the two stats
shining in trent. It is the business of the
pedestrian te keep out of the way, w lien
the "driver tiles: "Take carol" Tlicie hi
nothing prettier, mere dainty, lighter, than
this frail equipage, which x oil could pick
up and tany under yeui aim. It seems te
have coiue from Queen Mab's own cui-rlagu-makers.
Harnessed te this nutshell, w 1th w liieli lie
could easily leap u fence, stands impatient
and nervous, and clumping his bits, a
magnificent horse, which may have cost
six thousand reubles, a hoi se of the telo tele
brated Orlev breed, nn iron gray, high
stepping animal, the luxuriant .lUery
iiiane and tail powdered with glittering
specks. He inoves restlessly about, curves
his neck till his head touches his chest,
and paws the ground, held in with dlfll
culty by tlie nmseular coachman. There
is nothing en him between the shafts, mie
tangle of harness te conceal his beauty.
A tow light thicads, mere leather strings
net lmlfau Inch in width, and caught te
gether by little silvered or gilt ornaments,
play eer him without being an anueyaiii e
te him or taking anything Irem the per
fectien et liisMiipe.
The mountings of the head-stall are en
crusted with little metallic wales, and there
are no bllnders te conceal a herse's grcatest
beauty, his dilating, lustieus eyeballs.
Four llttle silcr chains cress gracefully
upon his forehead ; tlie bit is covered with
leather, lest the cold of the Iren should
harm his dclicate mouth, and a simple
suatlle is all that is needed te guide tlie
neble creature. The cellar, v cry light and
simple, Is the only part of tlie harness
which attaches mm te the carriage, for they
use no traces. The shafts go directly te
the cellar, fastened te it by stiaps carilcd
hack and forth many times, and twisted,
but hating neither buckles nei lings nor
metal clasps of any kind. At tlie point
w here tlie cellar and the shafts are fastened
together are also fixed by means et straps
the cuds of an nrcli et bent weed which
rises abec the herse's back like a basket
handle whose extremities are brought quite
near together. This ai eh, called the denga,
which leans a llttle backwa id, selves te
keep the cellar and ttie shafts apart, se that
they de net hurt the animal, and also te
suspend the reins Irem a hook.
The shafts are net attached te the front et
the drejky, but te the axle of tlie forward
wheels, which extends bovend the hubs,
passing through thorn, and is kept in place
by an exterior peg rormeio strength, a
trace placed en tlie outside gees te the knot
Of straps at the cellar. This style of hui hui
uess inakes it exceedingly easy te turn,
tlie traction operating upon the ends of the
axle as upon a Ioor.
As they dm e holding (he reins with both
muds, the use of the whip is unknown.
Irhoheises aie animated or restrained bv

ecr, tlie Hussiau coachman addiosses cuiii

one times tlie most teudci and i banning
lliminutlvcs; at another, .shockingly bad
Ianguage, which modern decorum leiblds
no te tianslinc.
Sometimes another herse, called a pris-
kiajka fan elf hoise) is harnes-ed te the
llrejky; he is attached only by aslngle rein
mid gallops w hiie his mate trots. The dllll-
rulty is te maintain these two equal dis
similar gaits. Tlie second hoi se, who

will easily supiose that It Is no trilling
matter te maintain this apparent disorder
In the midst of great sieed, each animal
preserving n different gait. Sometimes
tlie " Airy ' plays his part In geed carnest,
or tlie "cepict" take a fancy te roll in
the snow,
TO THIJ It ACM.
Draw 011 your pelisse, turn up the cellar,
pull your fur cap dew 11 te your eyebrow s,
and hall the first Isvechtchlk who passes ;
he will drive up quickly, and bring his
sledge clese te tlie sldewalk. However
young he may be his beard will be iicr iicr
fectly white. Ills breath csjiidcnsed In
Iclcles around his Tace, which Is pnrple
with cold, gives him the aspect of a
patriarch. Ills stiffened locks scourge his
cheek-bones llke ley seriwnts, and the flir
which he lays across your knee Is sewn
w 1th a million llttle w hlte globules.
Yeu are eff: the air, keen, penetrating,
icy, hut salubrious, stings your facei tlie
horse, heated by the rapidity of his motion,
breathes out smeke like a fabled dragon, and
from Ids reeking sides rises a llttle cloud of
vapor which hangs about htm. Yeu tiotlce
in passing horses of ether Isvechtchlks
standing te be fed ; the sweat has frozen
ujien them : they are actually encrusted
w Ith Ice, as a sugared almond w ith sugar.
As seen as they are again in motion, this
pclliele breaks; It melts or falls oft, te lie
renewed at tlie nexl pause.
These alternations, which would ruin an
Kngllsh horse in a week, have no bad
cllect upon the health of these hardy llttle
animals. Xe matter hew cold it is, only
the meat expensive horses are blanketed,
and instead of these leather caparisons,
embroidered in the corners with armorial
devices, usual with us and in Kngland,
they mercly threw ever the smoking
thinks of their bleed horses a Persian or
Smyrna cat pet of brilliant hues.
I could net discover that any special
conditions regarding age or weight were
imposed upon the contestants, only en
amount of speed in a fixed time, nieasuicd
by .a ciironeuiotcr, or, at least, se it
appeared te me. Occasionally, troikas
outer tlie lists against sledges having one
or two horses. Kadi man selects the
vehicle and number of horses which seem
best te suit him. Sometimes even a spec
tator, who has been sitting in his sledge
and looking en, w 111 take a fancy te try his
luck and ferthw tth he eutcis the lists.
At tlie race which I am describing a vciy
pii'turesmie Incident occurred. A niujik,
from Vladimir, it was said, who had conie
into the city bringing w oed or frozen pro pre
visions, steed looking en from the height
of his rustic troika. He was clad in the
usual greasy touleupc, vv 1th the old matted
fur cap, and felt beets white witli hard
service: a beard unkempt and lustielcss
bristled under his chin. He had a team of
three llttle horses, dishevelled, wild-looking,
shaggy as bears, frightfully tllthy
witli icicles hanging down underneath
them, carrying their heads low, and biting
at the snow heaped up lu masses 011 the
river. A denga like a Gothic window,
painted with glaring colors in stripes aud
zigzags, was the part of the equipage en
which most cat e had been bestowed, and
doubtless was the work of llie niujlk's own
hatchet.
This weird and primitive equlpage of ef of
feicdtlie strange-t possible contrast te the
lu.xui Ions sledges, the triumphant troikas,
and all the ethei elegant vehicles which
steed drawn up along the edges of the
track. Mere than one I utghing glance
ridiculed the humble troika. And, te tell
llie truth, In this billllantsccne It had much
tlie S.11110 effect as a spot of wlieel-groase
011 an crmiiie mantle.
Hut the little horses, whose hair was all
matted with trezen sweat, looked out
scornfully through their stltleued, shaggy
lorclecks at tlie high-bred animals that
seemed te shrink away irem them. A
gleam of llie slione in their sombie eyes,
and they pavvud the ice with tiiu small
shoes attached te their sleuder, sinewy
legs bearded llke an eagle's.
Tlie miiik, standing ukii tlie seat, con
templated the course, without appearing
in the least surprised by llie prowess of
the hoises. Xew and then, even, a taint
smlle gleamed below the frozen crv stals of
his meustache, his gray e.ves spiiklcd
mlschiev eusly, and he scorned" te say : " We
tee, could de as much. "
Taking a sudden resolve, he entered
the lists te try Ills luck. The tlnee little
imllukcd bears shook their heads proudly,
as iftiiey understood that they were te
maintain the honor of the peer herse of
the steppes, and, without being uiged,
tliey went oft' at such a pace, that every
body else en the track began te tuke tlie
alaini; they went llke tlie wind, with
their little slender limbs, and they carried
etl tlie ictery from all the otheis thor-eugh-bicds
et Ihiglish nice, barbs, and
Orlev horses by a minute and seme
seconds! The niujik had net picsumed
tee much upon his rustic steeds.
Tlie prize was adjudged te him, u magnifi
cent plece of chased t.U er by Vaillaut, the
most fashionable goldsmith lu St. I'cters
buig. Tills triumph excited a noisy en
thusiasm among thociewd usually se silent
and se calm. As tlie compieror cime oft
he was surrounded by amateurs proposing
te buy his three horses ; tliey went se far
as te otter him three thousand reubles
apiece, un cuoiineus sum fei beasts and
man both. Te Ills credit be it said tlie
niujik perslstently refused. He w rapped
his piece of silvei in a liagmciit of old
cloth, climbed upon his tielka and went
back as he came, net willing at any price
tepait liem the geed llttle creatines wiie
had made him fei tlie moment the lien or
St. I'elersbuig.

A iecullar accident happened at Frank
A. Helker's brewery, 011 West King street,
nt midnight of Wednesday, ntul.while con
siderable damsge was done, it might have
been a x cry serious matter.
About the tlme Ijindlenl Tcttfel was
closing the hotel Ter the night, there
was 11 loud explosion as If inade by the
discharge of a cannon. In a moment there
was a strong odor of ammonia, and he at
once concluded that an accident happened
te the Ice machine, In which ammonia 1)
used.
He quickly apprised Mr. Hclker and his
son and all the men living close te the
hotel. Ity the tlme they arrived thecflliivia
of ammonia was se strong tliatthey could
hardly remain in the neighborhood.
Ten of Mr. Heikcr'n horses wcre in a
stuble near the Ice machine, and unless
tliey could be rescued In a few minutes it
vv as knew 11 that they w eitld die. 1'rank J.
Rclkcr, son of tlie brewer, headed n party
of volunteers, and by great exertions they
made tlieir'vvay te tlie Malile, though the
air around that building was heavily
charged with ammonia.
In tills building tlie stench was almost
unbcamble and the horses w cre se atlccted
by it that It was with dlfllculty that they
could he rescued from the stable. It
occupied but a few minutes' time te re
move tlie horses beyond the terrible odor,
but seveial or tlie men who assisted were
se overcomo that it required gieat labor te
rev ive them.
The ice miichine is located seme dlstance
in the rear of the main building. It is run
night and day and last night Michael Scitz,
engineer, was en duty. The first intima
tion of trouble he heard was n loud noise,
similar te that mmle by the explosion of a
cannon cracker. He found that 0110 of the
Joints of tlie large ammonia pipes had
blew 11 out. He endeavored te repair the
damaged joint, but could de nothing en
account of the fumes of ammonia and he at
ence gav 0 an alarm.
The Joint that blew out was 011 the west
side of the building and faces a beautiful
garden, in which Mr. Itclker took con
siderable pride. Thore vvcie cheice llovv llevv
ers and plants in this gulden, of great
value, but te-day till are blighted and
withered. Tlie ammonia killed them and
left them black in color.
In tlie rear of Mr. Uclkcr's Is Tirst street
and en tlie south side of l'iist street oppo
site Is a large tobacco field el Jacob L.
1'iey. On Wednesday it was 0110 of the
finest fields of tobacco lu the county. To
day it is w erth nothing. It leeks as if flre
had spread ever tlie field,, Mr. Krey's
workman, who was seen In the field this
morning, liejied that the sun might draw
the ammonia from tlie tobacco leaves. It
Is likely that the sun w 111 net revive them.
The odor of ammonia extended for fully
a squat c, and, us many window s w cre open,
the inmates of houses w itliiu th.it distance
Irem the ice machiiie were affected. Te
prevent anything serious messengers wcre
sent te all tlie houses v ithlu two squares,
tlie inmates were aroused and told te clone
their windows. The notl'e came tee late
te seme and several persons vv cre ev cr
eams for a time by tlie ammonia.
There was great oxcitemont in the west
cud at tlie time, and serious as it w as, there
were many laughable incidents. Men,
women and clilldicu, with their hands en
their noses, could be seen running around
the neighborhood Inquiring thecausd of the
stench.
It Is net such an accident as Is covered
by insurance, and the less w ill hav e te be
home by theso affected. Mr, Itelkcr loses
about $.1110 by the damage te his machine,
and the lest ammonia (about .KM) pounds,
v ul nod at 5 cents per peu nd ). II is less i 1 1 rare
plants mid Honors will be considerable.
Mr. l'rey's less en his tobacco Held will
also be a Tew hundred dollars.
As seen as the odor el the ammonia dis
apjicarcd, Mr. Hcikcr put a rorce of men
te work repairing the daiimge te the ma
chine, and by this afternoon he had it In
operation again.

What Kxplnrer MulrSu.vM-Mnntodeit lle
niiilnn In Alaska.
Krem'thc Portland OrrROtilan.
San ritAscisre, July 0. Jehn Mulr says
that he has by no means completed his ex
plorations In Alaska, and that in regard te
certain elephant remains there, the bridg
ing of Itelinng sea, and ether matters, he
hees seen te add Information that w 111 be
of great xalue te science. Although the
bridging of Behrlngs Straits has lieen
ridiculed, Mulr is Inclined te think that
Mich n feat vv ill oneMay be accomplished.
He says :
"Senater Stanford's girdle of steel around
the earth via llchrlng sea Is 11 perfectly
feasible scheme. lJcnrlng Straits can be
bridged. It is only sixty miles across lu
tlie narrowest place, and there are three
Islands strung Along in It. This would
dlvlde the brl.lge up into four division.
But, besides tins, the water Is very shallow.
In many places it Is net ever twenty loot
deep. 1 undertake te say that If a man was
strong enough te tuke enu of our California
redwood trees lu his hands he could put It
down anywhere ever'1 the (00 miles of
Bch ring Sea and yet have 100 feet of it left
alnive the water. This shows hew easy It
vv euld be te bridge the straits. Tlie only
trouble would be from floating Iceliergs,
but that could be easily overeemo by con
structing swinging bridges, like they have
across the river at Chicago. In this way
the straits could be kept clear all tlie time,
and trains of cars could run right along.
"There are se many stninge things In
Alaska," addisl the discoverer or tlie Mulr
glacier, "that have net yet conie te tlie
Kuowlcdge or the public that 0110 w he has
seen thrni hesitates wliore te hi gin. Llo Lle
phant remains aie round all ever tlie grc.it
x alley or tlie Yuken. As a mutter or laet,
they are found ovcrywhere throughout the
great western slepe of Alaska. Dana and
Sir Charles Lyle startled the world by an
nouncing that hairy rroren elephants were
round wedged umongtheSlherlan Icebergs,
but scarcely anybody knew s that through
out Alaska ote tlie remains' of count
less thousands of mastodons. Yeu can
dig them out and find lliem en the
surface ev eryvv here. 1 saw hundreds
of them, possibly, en my last trip,
and I am new anxiously Irving te get
up there te complete my Investigations.
Se thick are tlie elephant remains that the
native Indians 011 finding them burled pir
tlally in the ground, decided tliey were
some kind el great uiole that burrows in
the soil. This Is the story given inc. 1
ollected a let or remains. The collecting
of elephant tusks every summer is a reg
ular business in Slbcita Just ever llchrlng
Sea. Woliuvejust us inaiiv of them en
tlie Alaska side as they ever had in Siberia
Ages age gre.it heids "of elephants reamed
ever these slieies. Perhaps tliey existed
down te a eompaiathely lecent date, tee,
for tlie haliy bodies and well-presnived
bones wcie ev idences of that."

Amusing Testimony of Kx ports hi a
Will Case,
Some rathct sui prising evidonce was
given by the insanity experts in the Corn Cern
stock will case in New ,erk en Wednes
day afternoon. Dr. William It. Birdsall, a
x isitlng physician at the Bellevue hospital,
expressed the opinion that certain letters
in ovldenco betrayed the wilter'.s Insanity,
giving as 0110 ic.isen for Ills opinion certain
poetical tendencies which tlie letters dis
played, and he was then asked if he con
sidered all iietits Insane.
" Well, net exactly," he replied, "but I
de decidedly when 1 find that tills poem
Is net logical. 1 think Walt- Whitman Is
insane."
"Hew about Milten 7"
" Well, I think Milten was insane. "
" And Shakespeare?"
" Wellj" answered the witness, deliber
ately, "from what 1 have lieaid I should
