CHICAGOJffiSE SlEft' Large Quantities Being Sold to Laborers on the Drainage Canal, FOREIGN CONSULS PROTEST. They Say That the Vile Stuff In Being Shipped tn Foreign Countries—Consul For France Intimates That Ills Country May Take Steps to Keep Out All Canned Meats. Chicago, Aug. 17.—Horse meat has been and is being sold on the drainage channel to laborers. This meat has come from diseased and broken do\vn animals unfit for labor and purchasable by the men engaged in the nefarious traffic at from $1.50 to $2 per horse. This sale has been without tho knowledge of the sanitary inspector on the channel, Dr. Martin, who said the sale of horse meat on the channel had never come to his knowledge. So serious has the situation become, both as to the use of this meat on the channel and the exportation of large quantities of it as canned goods to foreign countries, that complaint was made by foreign consuls to Dr. F. W. Reilly of the city health department. The promise was given them that, so far as lay in its power, the health department would seek to destroy the traffic. Charles Henrotin, consul for Belgium, and Dr. R. B. Bopp, consul for Germany, were the foreign representatives who called on Dr. Reilly. They laid before him the facts which they had collected in regard to the canning of horso meat at Summit, and also on the Archer road just outside of the city limits and at Milwaukee and Division streets for exportation to the nations of Europe. Gabrielle Veillehomme, consul for France, has also been in correspondence with Dr. Reilly in regard to the shipment of this vile stuff to his country. He has called ou the authorities to act, with the intimation that if they did not his government would take steps which might seriously affect the legitimate shipments of dressed and canned meats from this country.

When Mr. Hovenden was going home in the afternoon there were, besides himself, on the trolley car Mrs. Carrie Pfeifer aiid her 10-year-old daughter. Just as the passengers alighted to cross the railroad a fast freight was approaching. The little girl, not noticing the approaching train, ran ahead of her mother and was in the middle of the track before she saw her danger. She then, stood as if paralyzed. Mr. Hovenden jumped forward and grasped the child iu his arms, but before he could get out of the way he was struck by the pilot of the engine and instantly killed.
