continues fine and the horses in the streets look
better, and move with more brisknesB. The city
passenger Lines are running about half. their
fcrce, and the lines most crowded has four
horses to each car. The great danger now is
that the conyalescent horses will be
worked beyond their strength, and
thus swell the death list. About fifty OF teams
have been brought here from points on the Hud-
OK team. No steam dummies or locomotives are
in use in the streets. The Cur companies say
such change would cost too much and be de-
feated by the first snowfall The $50 horses in
the Fire Department are nearly all very sick,
though none have died. Hand engines hare
been oyerhauled and several companies organ
lied to haul and work them.

lungs containing mucus, though the throat iB no4

New YoRK, Oct: 90.-The weather to-day is
COOL pleasant, and very favorable for relieving
to havo reached it's crisis. The manifestations
Of the results OF the disease however, remain
about the same. Deaths are constantly occur
ring, about one hundred being yesterday report
have increased the number Of their trips, but
the horses seen in the Streets not only OF the car
lines but private vehicles, show bad symptoms
OF the disorder.
Several firms will receive oxen to-day from
Poughkeepsie, for the conveyance of 'merchan-
disc. Horses OF tho regular army in this vicinity
are almost all afflicted, and Quartermaster Gen
era1 Ingalls, has issued an order as to the disease
and it's remedy.
Humanitarian Bergh announces his purpose to
continue in preventing the working Of the
afflicted animals. Three or four Broadway stage
companies have each sued Bergh'e society for in
terfering with their business. Each claims
$25, 900 damages, and ask for an injunction
against Bergh and his men.
at q meeting Of the Sanitary Committee of
the Board OF Health, yesterday, it is understood
that a thorough examination Of all the stables
was ordered. Tho working OF diseased horses
without some covering is thought to be surely
fatal.
The grain and fruit trade continues to suffer
heavily. The ocean steamships, which sail to-
day, will not carry more than one-third of their
usual amount OF freight: The India did'not dis
charge her freight on her arrival yesterday. To-
day an attempt will be made by lighters.

into CHAMBERS, and tho result will be fatal
NEW YORK, Oct. 30-Evening.- condition
OF the horses to-day in the city stables is report
ed little better, but there is nothing to indicate
speedy abatement OF the disease.
The progress Of the disease in the Fire De-
partment is most alarming. Out OF LA horses
only are we'll, and 81 are wholly unfit for duty
Rest is !. considered the great requi-
site for their cure, and this it is al
most impossible to give them. Even if
the disease WAS stopped at once two months, it is
thought, would be required to get the horses into
their former condition. Chief Engineer Perley
has ordered first-class steam fEe-engine with
seH-propelling attachment. This can be run. it
is said, at tho rate Of mile in three minutes.
while its speed can be easily regulated. It Will
be kept near the fire headquarters, and when
the occurrence of . serious FIRE in any part Of
the city is reported it will be despatched at once
to the spot. The Chief Engineer to-day issued
an order suspending for the present ali leaves of
absence, except in special cases Of sickness
or death. Six companies have been
organized IS hand companies, with their ranks
flied by details from others. ALI the old two
wheeled hose carriages which could be found
have been pressed into service, and will be at-
tached to the engines. Some Of the tenders will
be run by hand.
Hundreds of longshoremen are complaininv
that the epidemic among the horses has rendered.
