PoUdnKRPsIE, November 1.-The
horse disease is spreading rapidly In
this vicinity, and has made It's appearance
at Kingston.
BALTIMORE, November Tho horse
disease prevails throughout the city and
vicinity, A number Of cars have been
Withdrawn from the various lines, and
comparatively few hacks are on the
stands. Business Is beginning TO suffer
for want OF conveyance for freighis. The
disease prevails in its mildest form.
CHICAGO, November Tho number
OF horses in this city affected by the
prevalent dlstemper are now estimated at
four or five thousand, though majority
OF tho cases are very mild in form. The
weather this afternoon was cold and
cloudy, with indications Of rain, and the
number OF horses on the streets were very
seusibly diminished. The West Madison
Stage Line have withdrawn their buses,
and the Wabash Avenue Line are running
very short. There are still plenty Of cans
on the South Side lines, but the West
Side lines have withdrawn number Of
cars. Tonight very few cars arc running
at all. No doubt, however, but many
horses are kept In the stables which
might be used, but humanitarian and pru-
dental motives dictate their withdrawal
from service. There Is really, il any, OBJ
struction to business, though the stoppage
OF q portion Of the public conveyanCes
causes some Inconvenience.
