The spread of the horse disease continues One
of the most alarming features Of the disease is
that in few isolated cases it is reported to have
affected men. Some of the grooms and stable
men in Brooklyn are said to be suffering from
the contagiou. The disease is spreading rapid
ly in Pennsylvania. 1t is prevalent in Harris
burg and the Philadel phia papers of yester-
day say that large number of horses in that
city are affected. The disease has also made
its appearance in Baltimore In the Northern
cities the express companies, car companies,
merchants, and even the small dealers, have
thought it best to sacrifice business for few
days and save the lives Of the animals. The
good effects of this course are already felt in the
cities in which the disease first appeared The
teams are reappearing gradually and the ami
mails are SO far convalescent as to be able 20
do moderate day. work.

pctlon, and already presents a handsome ap-
pcarance \ large force is now at work upon
it. Plumbers are laying gas aud water pipes
through the entire building. 1t contains over
one hundred rooms and will accommodate two

\ wide avenue will be opened and graded
from the hotel to the river, and wharf
built this winter
The people of Prince William arc to vote on
the question Of subscribing $4,000 towards
building the railroad from this city through
Prince William. 1t is expected the road will
pass near Dumiries, within half q mile of In
dependent HILL cross Cedar run near the mouth
Of Broad run, pass near BrentSvle, and cross
the Alexandria and Manassas Railroad between
Manassas and Bristoe, 22mes from this point,
at Il cost Of about $3jO.0Oo. Other railroad
and improvement companies stand prepared to
furnish the remainder of the sum needed.
The building of this road would quadruple the
value OF the land in what is known as the For
est-one of the leatbieSt and best tmbered
sections in the State, and do much towards
building up this city and adding to the county
and State.

A CHARGE OF UsURY AGAINST \ NATIONAL
BANK. The Philadelphia Inquirer has the fol,
lowing account of proceedings against Nation
al Bank Judge Robert S. Hale, agent OF the
United States before the British American
Claims Commission, has appeared before the
:Comptroller of the Currency, as counsel for
certain of the directors and stockholders of the
Marshalltown National Bank of Iowa, who
allege that, under majority of tie directors,
the Bank has habitualy practiced usury since
its organization in 1864, and has realized enor-
nous dividends at the expense Of the trading
interest it was rounded to accommodate and
conserve. They ask that the bank be put iuto
liquidation under the non-usury clause of the
National Banking act.
The remaining directors and stockholders
oppose the motion; and the Comptroller hav-
ing no precedent to aid him in reaching judg-
ment, will afford the bank an opportunity to
20 into voluntary liquidation before applying
any legal penalties for the usurious practices.
