City.
NeU York, October 26.-The horse
malady has now spread to such an extent
that almost all the horses in the city are
said to be suffering in one form or another
from symptoms of the epidemic. There
are tho1a6pds Of horses which have not
been n BON the sck-list, but observation
goes t5snow that many of these have the
germs of the disease in their systems. The
disease has been, thus far, rather slow in
its development, and it is not known yet
whether all of its stages have been seen.
1t is estimated that in this city and i'm
mediate vicinity there are from 10000 to
10000 horses suffering from well devel-
oped symptoms. The disease has begun
to exhibit new and alarming phases, which
are looked on as highly dangerous. The
inflammation Of the throat extends to the
lungs and rapidly grows more alarming,
and the coughing is learfully convulsive.
The animal pants for breath, becomes
quite cold at the extremities. This seems
to be warning of fatal ending of the
malady, and if it continues as widely prev
alent as it is now, for few days longer,
there can be little doubt that hundreds Of
the affected horses will die.
The street-car companies, some of the
livery stable proprietors, and many Of the
down town merchants are still working their
diseased horses, and in all these cases the
signs of fatality are becoming more and
more alarming. In the stables where all
| business is suspended until the disease is
mastered, very favorable reports are made.
At least 600 cars have been withdrawn
from the street railroads. In this branch
alone the disease has thrown l 900 men
out of work. The managers of the street
railroads believe that at the present rate
their stock cannot hold out longer than
Sunday night. No horse has at yet been
reported perfectly cured.
| Boston, October 2G.--In consequence of

datons have been almost entirely withdrawn
