In Ortigi Oa, oonMpondent of the
K«w fork Sun, in » akotoh of GKvld-
■mith Maid, aaja that Docker, her
oner, on! j desired to nuke a first claw
fate hone of tho beast,
Ml the end of the half-day’s plowing
she lay down in the farrow, kicked her
self loose from the plow, and ran
away. She got to be known in the
neighborhood as *'Decker's worthless
•olt." There was one thing she would
do and took great delight in. That was
Joining in the running rases that were
then the popular sport in Sussex county.
TBut her owner never knew when she
was entered for these races, and had no
suspicion that she was being used in
that way. /3he was always taken snr-
reptitioualy from tho field, and seemed
to have a premonition of wlmt she wns
wanted for. The races that she ran in
always came off on moonlight nights,
and she best all the crack runners in
the country. As worthless as she was,
John B. Docker loved tho mare, and
would have housed her like a queen if
she bad been willing.
At the ago of 7 she was tho snmo
"worthless Decker colt." Who hgd not
pnt her head through a collar in four
years. This was in 1804, and John H.
Decker, who had loft his uncle’s before
the colt was born, had never seen her,
having removed to Newburgh. • In that
year he and ’Sqnire Bingham of New
burgh wore driving throngh the country
buying np turkeys for simulation. It
wos in November that they brought np
at Uncle Johnny B.’s farm, which is
throe miles from Dookertowu. John
H. Decker saw the mare, -and saw at
once that she had points alnmt her that
few hones had, and ho wtmtod to bny
her. He offered $2. r >0 for her, but his
uncle emphatically refused. Then John
B.’s wife took a hand in. She had long
been disgusted with tho mare, as she
had "eaten her head off” a boom of
timM. She snid to her husband that,
as the wonld-be purchaser wns his
namesske and a near relative, he. onght
to sell him the more.
"Give him $260,” said she, "and he’ll
take it.;*
So the nephew "made it $260,” and
the uncle finally said that if ho wonld
catch the maro alone ho could have her
for $260. The condition was accepted,
and, after more than an hour’s persist
ent effort, the younger Decker suc
ceeded in getting the mare in tho barn.
Then the elder Decker wanted to hack
out He offered his nephew a blooded
black maro that he had refused $600
for if he wonld leave the wild mare.
John H. refused to make the exchange.
At the time of this transaction John
H. Decker’s parents lived three miles
from Goshen, near the village of Den
ton. Bingham and Decker drove away
from Johnny B.’s with the mare tied
behind their wagon. They stopped at
Decker's father’s for the night, and it
was noised abont the village in a short
timfe that John Dooker had paid $260
for the well-known "worthless oolt.”
William Tompkins was then keeping
the Talmnge House at Hampton, a mile
from DenfdnT He had long had his
eye on the Decker mare, but had never
bee* able to buy her. Hearing that
John Decker had bought her, Tompkins
drove over to see her.— John Decker’s
mother was a good and very pious
woman, and bad a great horror of fast
horses. His father also was disinclined
toward sporting matters. Mrs. Decker
gathered from the talk of the men that
they anticipated great things of the new
more os a trotter. When Tompkins ar
rived one morning Decker and^Squire j 13
Bingham were abont ready to start on
their way.
A hired man was showing off tho
mare in the lane, and Mrs. Decker was
a sorrowful spectator, remarking that
feki was sue ruin wonld follow her son
if he owned a fast hone, and she knew
he had just refused to acoept an offer
from ’Squire Bingham of $130 for a oue-
half interest in her. In relating the
circnmntanoes to the writer, he said that
he really intended tho maro for his
brother-in-law, Judge William Puller-
ton. Tompkins looked at tho more a
minute or two, and then bluntly said
that he would give $1150 for her. On
hearing this Mrs. Docker appealed to
her son to sell her. But Decker de
clined. Tompkins raised his offer $10.
Decker’s mother begged him with tears
in her eyes to get rid of the more at any
price, and his father added his voice to
hers. At last, his parents seeming so
much in earnest, and exhibiting so mnch
feeling in tho matter, Decker accepted
Tompkins’scffer, and he drew a check for
I860. While this was being done
Decker was looking the mare over, and
repented selling her. He made pretence
of not flaring to take Bill's cheek for the
mare, but his father asked to see it
When it was handed to him he wrote
his name across the back, and, remark
ing that he guessed it wonld go now,
handed it to his son. There was no ex-
euae for further opposition, and Tomp
kins drove off with the Decker mare.
John H. Decker and Bingham started
torGoshAd, but the more the former
thought of what he had done the more
I he regretted it, and he said he was
" bound to get the mare beok if he oould.
Beaching Goafaen he telegraphed to the
offtfll of the Middletown Bank asking
V Tbmpkfna’ cheek was good for $360.
The answer came back that it was good
for only $800. Decker then declared
that he would go «o Hampton and deliver
•P the check and recover the mate.
BefefO ho oould get away, however, a
tdym oamo from the bank that the
flheek kmt %mb made good, and the
mam was lost to him forever.
’ JJdsu Goldsmith would never have
but for John H.
Tompkins had her still in the
smith on an Erie Bail way train, and told
him that if he wanted to get the best
piece of home flesh there was In' the
county he would tell him, for one hun
dred dollars, where she stood. Gold
smith mid all right Decker told him
of the Decker mare. Goldsmith, rfl- 1
plied that be had seen her, and that she
waa "no good.” He did not know her
pedigree at that time, and Decker told
him what it was. Then Goldsmith be
came interested, and succeed in buying
the mare for six hundred dollara. The
popntar story that an old wagon was
part of the consideration U not strictly
true. Bill Bodine, who waa the mare’s
trainer, and by whop skill and patience
she was made what she became, told the
writ* r that Goldsmith had been promis
ing Tompkins a wagon for some time,
and when the latter delivered the mare
to its new owner he saw a second-hand
wagon that suited him standing in Gold
smith’s shed. Tompkins reminded
Goldsmith of his promise, and asked
him for the wagon, as ho oonld take it
right along with him then. Goldsmith
looked at the wagon a while, and then
said: "All right; take it along. I’ll
have to send it to the blacksmith shop,
anyhow, before long.” And Tompkius
took the wagon.
By the fall of 1865 Bill Bodine had
conquered the mare, and that same rea
son ho entered her for her first public
trotting match. The trot was to be on
the Middletown track, with a horse from
Port Jervis known as Lady Brown. Tho
purse was five hundred dollars, wi< h a
forfeit of fifty dollars. The race did not
comfc off, lor Mr. Goldsmith entered her
for k trot with the then famons horse
General Waiker, on tho Goshen back,
and tho date was tho same' as the Mid
dletown entry. Bodine paid tho fifty
dollars forfeit, and tho mare won tho
race in three straight heats, making a
-record of 2:26. Iter next important
raoo was the great trot on the Middle-
town track with Dexter, when shoWas
beaten by Unit then King of tho Turf.
THE ILL-FATED MANISTEE.

Mr. Carlston, orDuTuTh, Minn., received
a letter from a friend who waa a passenger
on the ill-fated Manistee, of which the
following is a ayuojwis:
"When the boat wont amt,” the letter

never left the steamer, but wrapped him
self up in his heavy overcoat and re
marked :
"I wall never leave the boat nntil the
last soul is off. I am captain of this
boat, and if she is to be a coffin for any
body she will be my coffin. ”
After the men left the boat they say
tho Manistee made one plunge under
the waves and that was the last of her.
They also report that when they left her
tho crew and ten passengers were on
board. Out of those who started in the
boat only three were saved and reached
Houghton.
They say the wreck occurred off Eagle
Hiurlior, and that there was no possible
banco of saving her under any circum
stances. They add that at the l<fet,
when everytrody knew there was no
hope of saving her, Captain McKay
gave his orders just as coolly and col
lectedly as if he was on land.
An Ingenious Head.
A sad looking tramp,' clad in the airy
garments of the deceased summer,
hoarded a Sixth avenue car at Canal
street and West Broadway yesterday.
In his eye could be detected a stern re
solve to die Indore he would work. In
tho palm of his delicate hand, unstained
by manual labor, ho held four cents.
"Will somebody pleasc’givo me another
cent so I can get down down ?” he
asked. Somebody gave it. Then the
heartless minien of the soulless corpora
tion oamo forward to take the poor man’s
all.
"Does this oar run to Tenth avenne
and Thirteenth street ?” asked the
tramp.
"No,” said the minion, "it does not.”
"Oh,” ejaculated the tramp, and the
minion rang the bell to let him get oft
Close behind was an Eighth avenue oar,
and this the tramp boaned. Four cents
lay in his band and a mpathetie pas
senger gave him another. "Does this
ear run to Dry Dock?” he humbly
asked. "No,” growled the conductor,
"it don’t run to no dry dock. The dry
dock yonr’re looking for ia a sweet spot

off, and in the hurrying crowd of the
busy street counted up seventeen cents
as the products of his industry, and

,"We save the city several thuusandiof
dollars every yflar,” said Mr. Patrick
Healy, who was found in charge of the
establishment for breaking in and train
ing horses for the Fire Department.
The, building is located on Lawrence
street, pear Tenth avenue, Manhattan-
villei~and formerly belonged to Engine
87, which moved into a neAr and larger
building aoroas the street abont two
yean ago. j
"Ton see,” he continued, "the differ
ent companies were subjected to great
annoyance by reasrti of green horsee be
ing sent to them fo break in. It was al-'
most an impossibility for them to do it
properly and consequently they were
often late in responding to alarms. The
green horses oould not be harnessed to
the engine or tender qniokly enough.
In fact it was one of the greatest difficult
ties the Fire Department had to contend
against. It often happened that after a
horse wss broken in so that he wonld
answer an alarm, it was discovered that
he was not fit in other ways for the uses
of the Department Something wonld
be the matter with his wind or he would
have one of the thousand ills that horse
flesh is heir to.”
"How long has this place been estab
lished ?” inquired the reporter.
"A little over a year,” was the reply.
"The Commissioners received so many
complaints that they felt obliged to So
something. They concluded the old
system was radically wrong and a
change was necessary. After consider
ing several plans they hit upon
this one. The building wits vacant, and
they detailed three men from Engine
37 to superintend- the training of tho
horses.”
"Where do yen get your horses?”
"Superintendent Shea buys them at
Bull’s Head and sends them here for
trial. We keep them fifteen days, and
if we find that they are sound in every
way and folly up to the requisite of ths
Department, we break them in for some '
company. ”
"And if not up to the standard ?”
"We send them back, and others are
sent in their place. Sometimes a horse
will be sound in every way, but ho will
lie too stupid for as. We can’t do any
thing with a stupid horse. I've had
horses here for a mouth, and at the'end
of that time they would not walk ont
of the stable when the gong sounded,
although I had practiced with them a
hundred times a day during the whole
month. Other horses, however, wonld
walk right ont after the second or third
day. Horses, I tell you, are a good
deal like human beings in that portion-
r,” and the speaker patted one of the
[ones affectionately on the neck. The
horse Appeared to be fully appreciative

The interior of the training station is
arranged like tho ordinary engine house
and is fitted up with all the latest appa
ratus. In the centre, near the door, is a
large Babcock Fire Extinguisher, with a
pole for two horses, which is used in
place of an engine and answers all pur
poses. Directly behind it is a single
Baboook, which is used as a tender to an
engine. On either side of tho larger ex
tinguisher is a stall in which the two
horses ore kept while in training, and on
the right of the smaller extinguisher the
"tender** horse is fastened. While Mr.
Healy was explaining tho workings to a
reporter, Foreman Murphy and his other
assistant returned from dinner.
"How many horses do you keep here
at a time ?" was asked.
"We always have seven, three of
which we are breaking in and four which
you see iu the rear of the building.
These latter horses are now ready for
work and will be sent to diflerent com
panies within a few days. You under
stand that when the horses come here
they are perfectly green. We get, os I
said before, three at a time, which we
place in these stalls near the engine and
and tender. Then wo ring the gong
which you see hero. That unfastens the
strap attached to the halter. But the
horse docs not move. He stands still
and looks around in surprise. Then we
lead the horse np to tho engine and
fasten the collar on him. Well, we
keep repeating this constantly until the
horse comes to know that we want him
to take his place at the engine when the
alarm sounds. This takes time and
patience, but we bring them around
finally.” „
"How long doe's it take to bring a
horse to that point of intelligence when
he will answer tho alarm promptly?”
"About two weeks. At tho end of that’
time, as soon as the alarm sounds, he
will run out of the stall, take his proper
place and appear to lie anxioqp to be off
Then he is ready for the Department,
and we have no further use for him.”
"Is there mnch demand for your
horses in the Department?”
"Tee, indeed. Some company i* in
want of a horse all the time, and we are
kept constantly at work in order to
aapply the demimd.” •
"How many do vou break in in a
year?” It
_"Well, last year we brokecU) abont 100
hones. But the Department ia in better
condition now than it ever was in re
spect to homes, and I don’t think we’U
have so many this year.”
"How are these hones; are they
broke in yet?”
"Not .these three here” [pointing to
those in the fropt of the boose], "They
arc a little green yet, but they are doing
as well aa ean be expected. But I will
show you ao you may jndge for yoor-

Liquor Dealers is Trouble.
A meeting of New York liquor dealers
wns held to effect an orgonizatiou to as
sist them in securing a more lenient ex
cise law. John Cavanagh was elected
president Mr. Cavanagh stated at
length his views on the subject and the
course that should be taken by the deal
ers. He claimed that each liquor dealer
in the city controlled from five to ten
votes, and if the dealers wanted to pnt a
stop to the police raids they must unite
their patronage and support.
"If the 11,000 licensed liquor dealers
in this city, controlling, as we do, 100,-
000 voles, would work together for the
election of a Mayor and a District
Attorney,” said Mr. Cavanagh, "there
isn’t money enough in New York to de
feat any big brewer, if we should nomi
nate him for Mayor. I don’t care what
the party is we join or whether we start
one of. our own. I’ll vote for any man
if he will say he is in favor of a fair ex
cise law.” Mr. Cavanagh then went on
to say that the licensed dealers ought to
lie considered as honorable as other
merchants, but the public Wjmltj not
discriminate between them and the un
licensed dealers who encourage vice.
"This ring under which we suffer origi
nated at Police Headquarters,” said he,
"and has gradually worked down to the
District Attorney’s office.”
A committee was appointed to perfect
the organization and secore the co-opera
tion of the dealers in tho other wards.
Mr. Corragin thought that by closing
the saloons on Sunday while those in
Brooklyn, Jersey City and the Tnbnrlie
were’ kept open, the bread and batter
were being taken from his month. He
was in favor of closing during church
hours, but keeping open for a stipulated
time daring the day. Mr. Piper wished
nb action taken on that subject "We
don’t wish to advertise ourselves as law
breakers,” said'ire;-"though everybody
knows we are. For there is probably
not an hour in the. day that we don’t
violate the law. The law says we shall
not sell liquor to children. Yet I am
afraid some of ns do.” The meeting
then adjourned. , , ■ ' - -
Notable Falls. —
Writing to the Baltimore Sun, from
Sydney, N. S. W., a traveler says: "I
have never seen anything in America
that compared with Wentworth Falls in
the combination of both beauty and
grandeur. At first the water leaps a dis
tance of 700 feet, as thongh falling over
the back to the seat of a great armchair
cut ont of the face of the mountain by
some giant of nature. Falling in spray,
4t gathers itself for another run and leap,
the second time falling over 800 feet into
the great gorge below. The fall is so
far and the foliage so dense at the foot,
that the eye fails to see the second
gathering-place of the clouds of spray
glittering in the sunlight 1,500 feet be-
dovri' The valley below the falls spreads
,ont^into a great amphitheatre fifty miles
across, and hemmed in on every side but
one, with the perpendicular walls of the
mountain. No human foot has ever been
known to tread this valley, as it cannot
be reached from below, by reason of a
second precipice over which the same
stream falls, and to go down from above
would be a perilous undertaking.”
