city, 90 that now it is difficult to find q
single uninfected horse on the streets.
In Dan Mscs's stable all the horses,
forty in number, have been sick. On
the breaking out of the disease Ameri-
can Girl was sent to Fleetwood by Mace
to escape the distemper, but she devel-
oped it there. Two horses employed
on. the stage Of the Grand Opera House
are also smitten. One horse died in
the Sixth avenue railroad stables yes
terday, though but forty remain in the
hospital. Every horse on the railroad
is i'll. Twenty-Five cars have been
taken off. Over one hundred horses on
the Seventh avenue line are sf-
fected. Twenty cars have been
taken off. The Eighth avenue railroad
reports one hundred sick. As usual no
cars are running Every horse on the
Ninth Avenue Railroad is badly dis
eased; the company ran no cars yes
terday. Four hundred horses belong
ing to the Bleecker street line are sick;

with borrowed horses; their sick

the railroad lines show a favorable
type of recovery. OF two thousand
horses in the Third Avenue Railroad

dition of the throat and lungs to be
analogous to that Of Group or dlpthe-
ria in the human specias. The great de-
mand for horses by the car and stage
companies and liverynen has the erect
of postponing the burial OF the dead 70
a serious extent. A huge amount OF
freight is now lying on the piers Of the
different steamer lines for want OF teams
to remove it, and it is stated that II the
disease does not abate soon, ocean
steamers will be seriously delayed.
Several steamers, which have arrived
within the last two or three days, have
not yet discharged their cargoes:: Inc

Political.
Bets are made on the Mayoralty in
which $500 is wagered against $1,000
that O'Brien will be beaten by Law
renee, Tammany candidate, and Have
meyer, Republican candidate. Many
astute politicians believe the latter will
be elected owing to the bitterness Of the
Quarrel between the Apollo and Tam
many Halls. =.
Last evening large mass meeting
was held in Tammsny Hall, and was
addressed by Kiernan, Democratic can-
didate for Governor, and others.
During the raising of banner in
honor of James o O'Brien in the Fourth
ward, last evening, some malicious per-
sons belonging to the opposite faction
ascended to the roof of the house to
which the rope holding the banner had
been attached. and while the crowd
assembled in the street were listening
to the addresses, cut the rope holding
the banner, which fell to the street.
At the same moment, by accident or
design, the chimney around which the
rome had been tied fell with crash
upon the crowd below. A large num-
ber of persons were injured by the fall
ing bricks, but none are fatal except
Thomas Mangin, aged twenty-one, who
died while being taken to the hospital.
None OF the perpetrators Of the outrage
have been arrested.
