BOUND FOB NEW ORLEANS. South Chicago in the neighborhood of Ninety-third street presented an unusual scene of activity during the forenoon yesterday. The New Orleans special, which was scheduled to leave at 2 p. m., caused owners intending to ship to the Crescent City to bestir themselves early and send their charges to the loading place. Long before the palace cars had been backed up to the platform strings of horses surrounded the depot and at intervals were reinforced by new arrivals. The loading of the horses consumed very little time and little trouble was experienced by attendants who had this in charge, but when it came to loading the chattels the real trouble began. It appeared as if half tne stuff used by tho stables would have to be left behind on account of the limited space in the ciira, but in some mysterious manner every-4U ine was gotten aboard and eleven of the twelve cars "were loaded and ready for departure by 3 p.m. Then another unlooked for trouble arose. A score of railroad detectives in charge of Acting Chief McGraw made their appearance and began searching the cars for "hustlers." All who could not show a ticket proving that he was an attendant was taken in charge and led within the depot, which was converted into a sort of impromptu lockup. It was not long before more than thirty persons had been hauled out of the cars from all sorts of places where they had stowed themselves. Many were later turned loose whon the owners had provided them with tickets, it being the rule that one attendant was allowed with every horse. Among those who were taken off the cars by the detectives was jockey C. Bonner, who is in the employ of W H Fizer. The rider displayed a big roll of bills and stated that he was going to pay his fare on his arrival at Grand Crossing, where the passenger coaches were waiting to be coupled on, but his plea fell on deaf ears, and not until Owner Fizer made his appearance and vouched for the rider was he permitted to go. As soon as the work of the detectives had been finished, the twelve cars containing the horses were taken to Grand Crossing, where two day coaches, one sleeping car and a baggage coach were coupled and the train proceeded on its way to New Orleans, where it is duo mto arrive Sunday morning. Among tho prominent Owners and their horses that left on the train are the following : H. T. Griffins, in charge of trainer H. McCoulsky Jove, Florestan, Impetuous and Musical Slipper. M.
