sm 6 THE' FTTTSBUBG- DISPATCH. THURSDAY MARCH 10, 1892.: NO USE FOR HORSES. Pittsburg Liverymen Talk of the De cay of Their Business BECAUSE OF BAPID TRANSIT. The Xnmfcer of the Animals Dispensed With in This Citj. EFFECT ON OTHER LINES OF TRADE It would seem that cities trill in a few years cease to furnish horse markets worth speaking of. In this city the snbstitntion of cable and electric cars for horse power has done away with the use of 1,900 horses in this one department alone( and rapid transit has caused the discontinuation of the services of 300 to 400 more in the livery business. The' people who refuse to ride in the poor man's carriage when it carries them three or five times as fast as horses can are few in number, and as for the revelers who require the use of cabs to take them home when their own locomo tion fails, they go but a short distance supporting the numerous hackmen who formerly kept horses on the street all night At the stable of John Burns & Son it was stated that orders for night service were now generaUy taken by telephone, much to the comfort of the poor beasts whose labor formerly consisted largely in standing in the inclement weather on three legs taking cat naps. This kind of service, once very remunerative, is considered now of small consequence by livery men. In round numbers, 2,000 horses have been laid off duty in Pittsburg and Allegheny, and in the United States at least 100,000. Establishments Ont of Business. Inquiry among livery men shows that while nearly all have reduced there equine force abont a score of liverv establishments have gone out of business altogether except that some have been converted entirely into boarding stables. Elmore & Slurry, of Duqaesne "Way; Andrew Jackman & Sons, Penn avenue; Mitchell, Miller Bros., Southside; Archibald & Skelton, Third avenne; Thos. Green, Southside; John Voelker, Southside; O'Neill & Gleason, "Wilson & Kodgers, Alleghenv; Meanor & Harper, D. Mcintosh & Son, Wallaker and Cowen & Flinn have all dismantled their establishments, while McXulty & Sons have discontinued one stable and Patterson Bros, find one stable all thev can operate profitably uuder changed conditions. Now this means a great readjustment of industry and the effects are visible in the reduced value of ordinary horses. "While fivers bring good prices, horses in the rank of mediocrity are quite cheap. An attempt was made two weeks aeo to sell a large stable, but the prices offered were so low that the owners decided to await the open ing nf spring business in hope of better de mand. In view of the extent to which horse power has been displayed hay seems to be abnormally high, especially where it is considered that the crop is large and re ceipts liberal. It would seem tbat the sur plus horses must be "eating their heads off" as they have neither been sent to the schin deries nor made into bologna. Curtailin; the Market. There is a prospect that the future horse and feed markets will be greatly curtailed, as notwithstanding constant rumors of European wars they do not materialize, and with the present capacity tor destruction ca airy will not cut the figure in future as it has in past wars, and when tramways are laid and electric cars run over our present mud roads, as they will be Dy the end of the century, horses will not likely cut the figure in the census of 1900 that they did in 1890. If a trust doer not get possession it is reasonable to hope that 10 years from now a tenderloin steak can be 'bought for less than 20 cents a pound. Some people now think a little more than half that price with cattle wholesaling at i4 cents a pound would be nearer the corject figure. It is well within the boundary to say that 100,000 horses have been displaced in the principal cities of the country. Allow ing the moderate ration of 15 pounds of hay and three gallons of oats per day, the gap in consumption will, as coon as their num bers can be reduced, be 273,750 tons of hay and 12,245,000 bushels of oats, worth from 7,000,000 to 10,000,000, and this is far within the mark, for in a short time the bulk of city express business will be done bv cable or electric cars. The greater part ot the horses-displaced in this city are still' within the radius of which this is the dis tributing point. Some Rather Extensive Figures. They still feet thejr rations from It, or our market would be lessened in hay and oats or their equivalents 6,000 tons of bar and 250,000 bushels of oats, the prodnce of about 12,000 acres of land, average crop, and in the whole country 600,000 acres. "While this does not seem a very great matter it means directly, not remotely, ths depriva tion of employment of 4,000 men and 8,000 horses necessary to raise the crop specified, anil it is but a faint admonition, ot the future. Doubtless as in other displacements thrre will be a readjustment and in 25 years the country will offer development in other directions, just as it did when the Pennsyl vania canal was built, a project which gome thougnt would ruin Western Pennsylvania as they thought it would destroy the market for horses and horse feed, whereas it in creased the market to such an extent that values of these product rose 300 per cent The late development, however,must take some other direction, as in the last 25 years in the absence of wars, the great citiesnave furnished the market for the farmer's sur plus feed and horses, whereas horses from this time forward are like to become yearly less useful, and on the level plains of the "West will soon be discarded even as plow motors. Universal Fralse Means Merit The success of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in effecting a speedy cure of la frippe, colds, croup and whooping cough as brought it into great demand. Messrs. Pontius & Son, of Cameron, O., say that it has gained a 'reputation second to none in that vicinity. James M. Queen, of Johns ton, "W. Va., says it is the best he ever used. B. F. Jones, druggist, "Winona, Miss., says: "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is perfectly reliable. I have always warranted it and it never failed to give the most perfect satis faction."

JUDGE SEAVlK T0WH. Be Is Xegotlatlng for a large Tract or Coal Land One or Bis Stories. Judge Bean, of Hollidaysbnrg, was in Pittsburg yesterday , in consultation with Messrs. Schellenberg, "Wendle, Scott and Brinton in regard to the purchase of a large tract of coal land within 12 miles of Pitts burg. Judge Dean refused to locate the coal land definitely, but he said it was a big and a valuable tract nf land. He did not purchase the property, but probably will. Judge Dean is a handsome man of about 58 years of age. His hair is white as chalk, but his round full face is fresh as a school boy's. He is a most enjoyable talker and during his stav in Pittsbure he was called upon by many leading attorneys with whom he is popular. The Judge has been making a State cam paign and he says he rather enjoys his ex perience, saying: "It reminds me a good deal of an experience I had once when Cam bria county was in my judicial district I was at Ebensburg examining students for admission to the bar. There were two young men before us. After we had disposed of one the other turned to me and said, 'Judge, I guess I wiU not be examined.' I asked him for a reason. He said in a hesi tating way, 'the law isn't any harder than I expected, but there is so thundering much more of it.' That," concluded the Jndge, "is just my fix. State campaigns are not harder than I had expected, but there is much more of them than I've been used to." No Bellevernon Extension This Tear. Considerable talk has been indulged in from time to time about the extension of the Bellevernon road to Brownsville. At one time it was thought the Yanderhilts would Jo the work this summer, but from present indications the prospects are very poor. A Lake Erie official remarked yes terday that the roadonght to be extended to Morgan town, and he thought it would be done in time. The Bellevernon line now ends within three miles of Fayette City. It runs through a good territory and is on a paying basis. The Fayette people have petitioned to have the road pushed to their town. Els Demand for iIcnlo Grounds. The dates for Allqulppa Qrove on the Lake Erie road have been nearly all taken for the months of June and July.. The agent states that five Mondays are still open in July, the dates are all filled for the latter end ot June, and most of the August days have been engaged. The demand tor groves like Bock Point on the Ft Wayne and Idlewild in the Ligonier Valley is also brisk. The picnic season will be in full blast in a few more months.

Thomas White, of the Southside, was brought from the Workhouse, where he had just completed a 30-day sentence, yesterday and lodged in Central station. He is held on a charge of assault and battery, preferred against him by Mary White. He will be given a hearing to-day before Magistrate Snccop. Canada to Look Into Its Whisky. Ottawa, March" 9.

Philadelphia, March 8.-The one hundred and fifth annual session of the Philadelphia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church began here this morning. Bishop Walden, of Cincinnati, presided. The most important question it the election of delegates to the General Conference, in volving the admission of women. The elec tion was made the special order for Friday morning. A dispatch from York says: The Central Pennsylvania Conference' or the Methodist Episcopal Church opened its twenty-fourth annual session to-day, Bishop Andrews presiding. The conference promises to be one of the largest and most interesting ever held in the State. Bishop Bowman will assist Bishop Andrews in his arduous duties. In addition to the regular business of the conference there will be nine different anni versaries celebrated, the first of which, that of temperance, was celebrated last night Talk of Bemorlntr the Stock Yards. Frank Reynolds, General Live Stock Agent of the Pennsylvania Company at In dianapolis, advises the road to remove the stock yards from East Liberty to the lower end of Allegheny, near the Ohio connect ing bridge. He comes to this conclusion after investigating the causes of the delay in making cattle shipments. He finds from 10 to 12 hours are lost usually in making the transfers in Allegheny. He recom mends that Eastern stock could be shipped over the "West Penn to the main line with only a few hours' delay. The company is now considering a proposition to move the yards. The cattlemen are opposed to it, and they claim the loss of time in Alle gheny could easily be prevented by the expenditure of a few thousand dollars. ff m Do you enjoy the good things of his world?

A prominent physician from Cin cinnati gays: "My patient has just finished the last bottle of the genuine Johann HofFs Malt Extract with marked im provement I can cheerfully say it is all, and more than you claim for it, for in my patient's case of dyspep sia nothing would remain on her stomach; hence there was extreme debility, and she certainly could not have survived much longer. "After taking the second bottle we could see quite an improvement. Her appetite became better, and she could retain food without distressing her. She feels for the first time in six months that she has been in bed that she will recover. I has cer tainiy proved in her case a great boon I can cheerfully indorse the genuine Johann HofFs Malt Extract for all you claim, both in dyspepsia, anaemia and kindred diseases.
