The Horse Disease In Baltimore,

1t seems to be settled that the epizooti,
prevails in Baltimore to a limited exten
and is increasing, though not to such ex
tent as to induce more than precautionary
measures to prevent its spread among the
horses Of the city. Twenty-one cases O
clearly defined epizootic, with all the
symptoms Of that disease, as it prevailed
three years ago, are uuder treatment at the
veterinary hospital on Camden street, neal
Paca. Two of the affected horses, it is
stated, will probably die. Other hospitals
in different sections Of the city have cases
on hand. a.p.i lf',ar'..
A great many of the horses of the city
passenger railway companies are afflicted
with coughs, and many of them have other
symptoms Of disease, but it is under TODD
that none Of them are incapacitated for
duty. Most of the horses of the fire depart
ment are afflicted with cough, and two or
three Of them have epizootic pretty badly.
The horses in the livery stables are more
or less afflicted, but no fatal cases of the
disease have occurred as far as learned. Ii
is believed that should the weather con-
tinue good, the disease will pass off in
mild influenza without doing much damage
but that should cold rain set in it will
develop into much more severe type. So

A SWindler Detected.
n. Y. Tribune.

". 1. 1TsOu1ae.
A well-dressed man approached one OF
the members of the Produce Exchange
yesterday and said he was FROM Buffalo,
and had letter of introduction to the firm
of Beecher & Sprague, who are large
dealers in grain, and, as he did not know
them, would like to have them pointed
out. Mr.. Sprague was standing near, and
the stranger was introduced to him as Mr..
Adams. Mr.. Adams said he desired to
purchase sixty carloads of grain, and the
two ogentlemen went to Beecher L. Spracue's
office, Nos. 36 and 3S Whiteall street to
settle upon the terms. The price was
agreed upon, amounting to $33,25O. The
stranger then presented certified check for
$50, 900 drawn upon the Bank of New York.
Mr.. Sprague drew his firms check for the
difference, SIG, $50, and was about to hand
it over to Mr.. Adams, together with the
order of delivery, when something about
the appearance Of the certified check excl
ted his suspicion. He asked to be excused
for few minutes and stepped into an ad-
joining room, intending to send clerk to
the bank and make inquiry about the
check, and detain his visitor until the mes
senger should return. The moment Mr..
sprague left the room, however, Mr.. Ad-
ans turned to boy, who was the only oc-
cupant Of the office at the time, and say
ing "pll be back in few moments" left
the Office, taking the check with him. He
did not return, and the certiication was
pronounced to be forgery. The sharper
gave the name of person to whom the
flrm had recently sold fifty-fve carloads
OF grain. The certifcation is stated to
nave been almost exactly like the genuine
stamp.

A Csste tnial Drama.
|s1tibyse Of Yesterday.-A-

fQri6yss Of Ycsterddy. "a b.
A new Drama, based upon the story Of
Gen. Arnold's treason. has been written by
lagebtlepan of Troy. Mr.. Sala recently
suggested this topic as good one for an
American drama. 1t seems to be forgotten
that several dtam5s, all uncommonly COM
monplace, have been produced, with Gen.
Washington for the good hero and Bene-.
dict Arnold for the bad one. Every at.
tempt to put Washington upon the stage
h resulted in ridiculous failure; partly
because he is too near eur times, but main
ly because he had nothing dramatic in his
character. He was too cold and stately
for the stage--to virtuous to inspire terror
and too grand for pity. All attempts to
convert him into an Achilles, aHector, or
even Coriolanus must result in dramatic
disaster. As for Arnold, he was a mere
Connecticut shopkeeper turned soldier-a
sensua', selfish, and snowy person, on
neither side great. The tragedy must Of
necessity culminate in the hanging Of An.
dte,; but there is nothing heroic either in
the deeds of a spy or in his hempen ex-
piation. In spite Of Mr.. Sala's opinion,
we defy anybody to write much more than
a noisy melodrama upon the West Point
events. The capture of Andre an !, the
distress Of Mr.. Arnold are not enough to
carry great play.
