THE HORSE DISEASE. It Has Almost Disappeared from Torento, Its Source, Twenty Thousand Cases of the Malady in New York and Brooklyn. ) No Well-Authenticated Fatal Case Yet Known. Street-Car and Stage Travél Nearly Suspended---A Corner in. Carlage, ‘Colsbrated Tottrers Attacked. TORONTO, ONT, Spectal Despalck to The Chicago Tribune, ™~ TooxTO, Ont., Oct. 25.—The epizootic first made its appearance in Toronto and neighbor- hood about the 1st of October, and within a very few days nearly every horse in the district was attacked, when it created a good deal of alarm, and, among & certain class of owners, & general resort to quack treatment and remedies. The disease is of the nature of catarrhal fever, accompanied by slight inflammation of the throat and bronchial tubes. It is evidently the result of some atmospheric influence. Although & very alarming complaint, it is not attended, if rationally treated, with any great fatality. The disease appoars to take from ten to thirty days to run its course, according to the severity of the attack. It is characterized by a discharge from the nostrils, severe h:xcking cough, quick- ened circulation, ‘and labored brenthing. Im- pure air or exposure increases the symptoms, and the lunge become affected, which is tlie . On o calcala- tion, it appears that when rational means of cure and treatment have been adopted, there has been & small percentage only of Ioss. The dis- easo is best treated by giving plenty of freshair, keoping the atable clean and well ventilated, and feeding with easily digested food, with emall doses of any mild febrifuge medicine mornin and evening. 1t is preferablo to work mildly af- fected animals moderately, rather than keep them utmd.in‘%hin close Stables, breathing the impure air. en the cough is very severe, o mustard applicgtion_to the windpipe is found to be of great benofit in allaying the irritation. Stimulants have been found preferable to sed- atives in the treatment, therefore bleeding and purgatives are inadvisable, Fresh air is essen- tial. We have it on the authorityof Dr. A. Smith, Voterinary Surgeon of the Ontario Veter- inary 'Collego, whose diagnosis and treatment have been entirely euccessful, that the disease has nearly dieappeared from the city. W. T. Boyp. NEW YORE. Speeial Despateh to The Chicago Tribune. NEW Yomg, Oct. 25.—Thehorse disease is now 2t its height {n this city and vicinity, and et no fatal cases have occurred. A report that five horses died last night in the stable of & horae- car company, was widely circulated, but it is not true. The raw, drizzling rain continues without intermission, and in the streets lss than half the usual number of horaes are visible. The majority of those at work are infected, and occasionally & horse may be seen prostrate, coughing violently. In about ton minutes the dieabled animal recovers sufficient strength to move off. In mapy caees the coughing sppears in parotsams liko whooping cough. Tho best veterinary judges have not changed their opinion that the disarder is influenza, but more virnlent than the ordinary type. The number of street cara running has been considerably reduced, but not to an extent serionsly embarrassing passengers. Tho mor- cantile world, however, is severely crippled, for the truckmen generally prefer to keep their ani- mals in the stable, even if not affected. AMany of the choicest horses in private stables have the disease in & mild form. Two of Mr. Bon- ner's horses have a slight cough, but he thinks the epidemic is not at all slarming. The num- ber of the sick in_street car stables has increased steadily to-day. Several hundred cars will be idle to-morrow, and one or two lines may suspend entirely unless steam dummies* can be procured. Tho bakers, butchers, and milkmen generally refuse to expose their stock to the Tain, and much inconvenienco has been experi- enced in this rea;'iect to-day. . The number of conyalescent horses to-night is cnm}urngln%.{ Eighty per cent of all the uorses in New York and Brooklyn have taken the contagion. One-third of these have passed the crisis, and are improving. A few curious rumors Lave been afioat con- cerning the health of hostlers and others hand- linghorses, but they aromero inventions. Other groundless roports have beon circulated sbout eef cattlo arriving from tho West. Deathsin the cattle yards are of daily occurrence, but from other causes than diseaso, being mainly the re- sults of fatigue, harsh treatment, scarcity of water, etc. DMost of the animals are taken off the cars cither dying ordead, and their carcasses sold for food. (7o the Associated Press.) NEw Yorr, Oct. 25.—It is the opinion of vet- erinary surgeons that the distemper may not prove fatal, but that the horses will suffer for somo time from weaknoss. The Sanitary Com- mittees reported to the Board of Health yester- day that the disease, though general, is not fatal or contagious, The courso of it seems to bo this : Say that on Friday the animal appears tick, on Saturday worse, and on Bunday the mal- ady will have attained its climax ; on Monday the horse improves, and on Tuesdayis almost fit for work. The effects on business have not been very soverely felt, but already the cost of drayage "and cartage in some instances has risen to war prices. The epidemic bas_spread to Winchester and Staten Island, 5 well a8 New Jersey. An estimate gives the following as the number of cases in this city: Dray norees, 6,000; 12,000 belonging to the car and E"fif’ lines; 500 to the express companies; 2,000 livery and gale stables; 6,000 in Brooklyn ; 600 in Jersey City, and 600 olac- where, making o total of 28,000. The valuable trotting stock of the city have alsoreceived their share of the disease. an Mace's horses are neatly all affected. The celebrated double team, Darkness and Plimpton, that trotted at Prospect Park the other day with Ethan Allen and George Wilkes, are being treated. The valuable Ethan Allen, & colt worth $12,000, is slgo in the doc- tor's liends, A number of other well-known trotters, such as Stonewall Jackson, Kirkwood, Lady Wheeler, Jules Jurgenson, and Captain Jinks, are also afilicted in & mild form. New Yok, Oct. 25—Evening.—The horse dis- ease continues its ravages throughout the city, and few stables can be found in which the dig- ease has not made its appearanca. The rainy woather ie generally regarded as very unfavora- Lia to animals affected. ~ The three lines of cars, to wit, Broadway, Broome strest, and Seventh avenpie cars, all belonging to the Seventh Ave- nue Company, have been compelled to withdraw fifty-six cars to-day. There iz not a car running on the Broome streetline. The officers of the Sixth avenue railrond telegraphed to Tlion, N. J., for o dummy engine, but failed_to et it. The Third avenue railroad will probably §o cormpeiled to use steam, it the. apidemic con- tinnes. The disexse has compelled the with~ drawal of fifteen cars from Avenue B line. Two- thirds of the animals on the line are affected. The report here of deaths is untrue. Most of the animals on the Second avenue line are some- what affected, but no car was withdrawn. Six cars to-day were taken from the Eighth avenue line, and eight from the Ninth avenue line. Up- wards of S0 cars altogether were withdrawn from the different lines. ‘FHorses connected with = great many private establishments in the city are laid up. Among others are those of Arnold, Constable & Co., A. 7. Stewrt & Co., H. B. Clafin & Co., and sev- oral express companies, Of 300 horsés used on the North river by stevedores, 280 have got the disease. : Vory few horses in Brooklyn are escaping the contagion. Thougands of horses in the city still at work are unfit for use. The different railroad companies havo been compelled to make esten- sive purchases iu order to keep the care in mo- $200,000 to Europe. tion, The grocers, bakers, butchers, milkmen, and icemen are unable to supply custowmers, The horse epidemic is spreading. The Fifth avenue stages stopped running early this evez- ing. The Twenty-third street line stopped romewhat later, and the Wall street stages, which are still running, start at long intervals. A few street cars are running. Several branch lines of street cars have stopped altogsther. The disease is spreading throughout the New England States. JERSEY CITY. The epidemic is making rapid strides in Jersey City, and the majority of the horses owned by private persons as well as public corporations were affected. The manufacturing and express companies are the %’f“m sufferers. In the depots of the Erie, Morris & Eesex, and Penn- sylvania Railroeds & great amount of freight ia awaiting transportation, and the wharfsof the largo steamshiplines are crowded with bales and boxes which cannot be moved. ALBANY. ALBaNy, Oct. 25.—Quite a number of horses here are reported sick from the distemper. INDIANAPOLIS. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. Ixpranaporis, Oct. 25.—The horse disease has made its appearance in some of the stables of this city. As yeb it has not assumed an epidemic form, and most of the cases yield to skilful treatment. InpuaNaporss, Ind,, Oct. 25.—It is reported that the Canadian horse disease has made its ap- pearance in this city, and a number of horses are already suffering from it. CORRY, PA- Coxrey, Pa., Oct. 25.—The horae disease has reached this_ vicinity in force. Eleven horses were attacked in oneday. The horses of the ex- press compauies are all laid up. ROCHESTER, X. Y. RocuesTEB, N. Y., Oct. 25.—The Lorse disease is unabated. The weather is rainy. Various stables report horses much worse than yester- day. The losses to business are very greab. Canal horses seem to have the disease milder than other classes. 3 PHILADELPHIA. PHILADELPEIA, Oct. 25.—No symptoms of the horse disease have_yet appeared here. Precau- tions have been adopted to preveat its spread if it should-show itself. HUDSON, ¥. Y. e 'y Hopsox, N. ¥,, Oct. The horse epidemic appeared yesterday in adjacent towns. ATGUSTA, ME. AvugusTA, Me., Oct. 26.—A large number of cases;j of the horse disease have appeared here. Only one was fatal, LEWISTOX, N. Y. Lewistos, N. Y., Oct. 25.—Several hundred ‘horses are sick with the distemper. But few fa- tal cases are reported. DETROIT. Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, DEetROIT, Oct. 25.—With bad weather to-day the horse epidemic has become more prevalent here, and all the carsof the city railroad have been hauled off. Draymen and private owners have also been very careful in the uee of their animals, and comparatively few bhave been on the streets. ST. LOUTS. B1. Lous, Oct. 25.—Itis stated, on the au- thority of a veterinary surgeon, that the horse disease has appeared here, but only a very few cases have yet occurred. Vigorous precautions are being taken to prevent ita spread if possible. The St. Louis Transfer Company's stables, in which thére are some 700 horses, have been thoroughly fumigated and sprinkled with carbolic lime, and other stables will undergo a similar Pprocess. BUFFALO. BurFaLo, Oct. 25.—The wet weather cansed the street railways to stop running at 5 o'clock this evoning. They have but three well horses out of 300. _All their stock has been worked dur- ing their sickness. The disease is abating. The bad weather forces owners to keep their animala off the street to-day. 0SWE@O. - OswEGO, Oct. 25.—Only e few cases of the ‘horse disease have made its_ agpeannc& in this city. The towing companiés let their horses conditionally. They will will not be held liable if any of the horses fail before reaching their deetination. Shi&menta by cangl continue large and uninterrupted. GLEFELAND. CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 25.—Ten or twelve new cases of tho horse diseass aro reported here to- night. Horbe-owners ure alarmed. BOSTON. Bostoy, Oct. 25.—The horse disease has ac- quired greater prevalenco, and the business streets, except for the crowd of flfdeutriuns, wear & Sabbath day appearance. ‘many inc stances, oxen are substituted for horees in haul- ing beavy freight. The large express compa- nies, having several horses, continue to do the necessary business, but many of the smaller ones are comgefled to suspend. Of 1,200 horses owned by the Metropolitan Horse Railroad, nearly every one is affected, and a total suspen- sion of street railway travel is threatened. WASHINGTO: 3 Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. WasaNaTON, Oct. 25.—An inspection of the stables of the car companies in_this city and Goorgetown, also of the livery stables in the two cities, has shown that there are no cases of the new disease among tho horses. The Board of Health has already provided disinfectants, which are being used in the city. WALL STREET. Review of the Money, Bond, Stock, Gold, and Produce Markets, Special Despatel to The Chicago Tribune, New Yomg, Oct. 25.—There waa sudden and sharp change on the Stock Exchange to-day, the depression of yesterday giving way to buoyancy end activity. Early in the day Pacific Mail was tho leading feature, advancing after large trans- actions to 102%¢. The Company have sold 27,800° shares of their ownstock, which they have owned for a long time, receiving therefor per, or £2,730,000. The number of shares out- standing now is 200.000.

The dealings wero enormous, and the stock rose from 763 to 803¢. At one time during the day it was roported a dividend had been declared on the stock, but later this was denied. Then the story was current that the company intended to gell, or was selling, 310,000,000 new stock to represent some new roads taken in, or to be fakenin. Nothing dofinite could ba sscertained infregard to this story, end the only Director jhat could be found knew Bothing sbout the matter. Both tho President and Vice Prosident are ab- sent from town.

New Yorg, Oct. 25.—Three of the leading Ring tradeemen were on the witness stand in Mayor Hall's trial to-day. Their revelations were high- ly important. [Garvey's sensational testimony will be found in the Associated Press report.— Ep.] The great city and county safe maker, John McBride Davidson, was called to the stand. In reply to Mr. Peckham, he said he got & war- rant for a claim of his against the county, and obtained the money on it. Mr, Peckham. Tell us if the bill was correct, or what amount of it was fictitious ? This cgmafion was objected to by the defence, unless the prosecution intended fo claim that the Mayor had s knowledge of the fraud. Mr. Tremain contended that it was allowable fo show that a claim .was fraudulent and that an examination of it would show its character. If i passed, therefore, it should not bave been sudited. It was properly shown that the defendants certified to false and fraudulent claims, and that they knew them to be fraudu- lent and false. Mr. Stoughton asked if he in- tended to prove that, and was answered in the affirmative, wherenpon he withdrew his objec- tion tg the question. Mr. Davidson then answered thet this claim wes for 316,940, and for that amount he put in his bill, giving it to Mr. Woodward, who was Clerk to the Board of Audit. Mr. Woodward sent for him to get his pay, and he then found it had -“been increased to $48,900, for which a warrant was made out. This war- rant Messrs. Wateon and Woodward kept, giving to witness his just claim, 316,940. ether or not the bill had been audited he had no knowl- edge. 4 'i'he name of John A. Keyser, called by Mr. Peckham, caused_everybody to look around for the industrions plumber. An old, gray-haired, medium-sized individual rose from his seat at the enummons, and. pressed forward to the wit- ness stand. The ten vouchers were banded to him, and he seid they were claims_for plumbing work, for which ho had received payment. They represented four years' work which he had done for the Ccounty, and which the old Board of Sapervisora bad not passed upon. By direction of Mesers. ‘Watson and Woodward he zdded 333§ per cent to the amount of the bills. tlemen and a clerk, who had dled, were present . when he made out bills and add 83}% ger c:’x‘zt efore the to the different items. He thenwent L Board of Audit in regard to_the passing of his claim, and did _not know that _sny- body else did go. Being questioned by Mayor Hall, he replied that some of the bills sent in bad not the 333¢ per cent added. In extenua- tion of the addition of the per cent, he said he had to wait for four years before being paid, and he had to borrow money at 12 per cent to cal on his business, and he considered he was justi~ fied in making extra charges, under those circam- stances. He had done work for the city during the past thirteen Jeu and did business all over the United States. There were indorsements forged on his bill of his name to the amount of $900,000. A In answer to Mr. Peckham, the witness said Watson kept 20 per cent of the bills, and that it was.at his suggestion the percentage was edded. On the forged warrants' he never re- ceived any money. In fact his bills wero paid by Wataon at a discount of 26 per cent. . . . Mayor Hall. Were not these bills foundation bills, and had they not been 2t some time before the Board of Supervisors ? ‘Answer. Yes, sir. I never got a cent on these bills to which my namo was forged. Mayor Hall. Then the swindlers kept the whole of the money ? Witness. Every cent. To Mr. Tremain. The bills in their present form were never before the Board of Credit. Some of them are yet in the Comptroller’s office. Some of the gmsll bills were inserted into larger bills at the time of making out fresh bills. ANOTHER ARBITRARY ARREST. . A third arbitrary arrest of s reticent citizen in his own honso has been made. This morning Special D{E’m Marshal Bowers called at the resi- dence of Mr. ;o)m Curley, No. 369 Pear] street. Bowers says_he was g the census, and de- ‘manded of Mr. Curley to flva his name, age, and other facts in relation to his right to vote. ' Mr. Curley replied that he had snswered all such questions when his name was placed upon the registry.

New Yorw, Oct. 25.—In the Hall trial to-day, Copeland, who was s clerk in the Courlly Ba- rean, testified that he had seen the Mayor'sname on the Garvey, Ingersoll, and other vouchers, but did not see the Mayor write. The affidavit of the claimant was not attached to the vouch- ers. Some of the signatures of the iayor looked like forgeries. Auditor Watson had a private room for consultation. Witness had his suspicions awakened sbout the vouchers in the summer of 1870. Did not tell tho Mayor of his suspicions, a8 he had no scquaintance with him. Told O'Brien, who was his friend. Auditor Earl testified to the genuineaess of the Mayor's signature on the warrants, except on one for 81,285 to Keyser, which was_doubt- ful. 'An exhibit was here_offered, showing that Auditor Lynes had andited over $25,000,000. John McB. Davidson testified to the payment of one of his claims. * An objection being made to the question as to the witnesses testifying to the Mayor's knowing the claims to be fraudu- lent, Judge Brady told the counsel for the pros- ecution that he had better not refer to what was done in the first trial. Counsel for the prosecn- tion argued that the character of the claim was known to the Mayor. The witness stated that his bill was for £16,940. When sent to the Clerk of the Board of Audit, and when he went to get his pay, he found the bill was raise 48,900, the warrant for which the Clerk for the Auditor retained. The witness got a check for $16,940. Keyeer testifled that he was told_to make out his bills for plumbing, and the Aunditor or the Clerk of the Board directed him to add 33¢ per cent, which he did in their _Fresenca, and not veryifying any of the bills.. The witness or any one for him gave no proof before the Board of Audit. = Cross-examined: The 3334 per cent was not added to some of the bills, The witness had to wait for his bills four years, and borrowed money at 12 per cent, hence considered himself Lumfiefl in chnrgmg for - the time. He ad been shown bills for $900,000, to which there were forged indorsements of his name, ' and on wamsnts on which e did not get a cent, as it all went to the swin- dlers. Twenty per cepi ot bis bills yero hept Both of these gen- | back by County Auditor Watson. Many of his bills did not go before the Board. The Grand Jury here entered the Court, but no snnouncement of indicted parties was made. After a recess was taken, the prosecution putin evidence an old message of the Mayor's. Andrew J. Garvey testified : On the 27thof April, 1870, T had claims against the County of New York, and the bills_ I made ont wero paid. The three warrants handed to me were paid on indorsements, and my indorsements are all gen- uine. In April, Woodward, of the Board of Su- pervisers, asked how rauch was due me, and I told him as near &s I conld, and he gave me in- structions to make out the bills, and that I should have 85 per cent of the whole bill, and Watson, after that, told me I should have my money if I followed Woodward’s in- structions, and I did. The gross amount which the bill amounted to was $395,000, of which I expected to get back for work done or in progress, $110,900 for Court House decora- tions, $75,000 for armories and com%nuy offices, $80,000 for conrt buildings, 950,000 cash ad- vanced 2nd said to be for Tweed. = Mr. Stoughton objected to the testimony sbont the $50,000 as not affecting the defend- Judge Brady. Is it nob immaterial for what purpose additions to the bill were made, and which were not for work done? Mr. Tremaine said he prog_used to show that the defendant, when the bill wes presented, asked whether this was one of the bills in ‘which Treed was interested, and on being answered in affirmative signed it. = [Sensation.] The Court decided to hear the testimony. The Witness. 830,000 was for Tweed in Albony ; $18.000 for work on the house and premises of E. N. Woodward ; 60,000 for work on Tweed's premises at Greenwich ; $5,000 for plastering two houses of Tweed'sin Fifty-fourth street. On those bills he received 35 per cent. The witness here identified a number of checks which he depositedin the bank witk Woodward on receiving warrants. The other checks were deposited in the name of Tweed. Mr. Peckham said in reply to the counsel for the defence, that he proposed to show thsi Tweed received a portion of the chacks deposit- ed by the witness ; to show that Mr. Hall vas conscious of the fact. [Sensation in tho Court.} The witness also testified that after the frauds were made public he met Mayor Hzll on the stroet, and told him he was afraid of being sued, and said: “Is thers any danger of these folks sueing we , boys and tying all our property, he Magor replied “t?" This was on the “Who is §m’ng o5 b vestibule of the (&> @ouse in 1869. The wit- ness took the w3, to Mayor BHall to be signed. He didn% > 5/ how much was to come out for Tweed. -5 'gh.ayor asked him, Are these Tweed's = . @m?” and witness said #Yes,” and the = Siigned them. Mr. PeckhamZ Biposed to show that from and prior t0186 - 5 was a continuous arrange- ment by whiclS = Stain amount was deducted by Tweed and.#. - Srom this man’s bill. The witness aed he paid Tweed 15 per cent of his bil' ~it. . Watson told him to do 28 Woodward tuw -2, and in order to get paid he had to do so. Woodward gradually reised the amount td 65 per cent. He had but little connection with Mayor Hall. Sub- soquently the witness had & warrant for 345,000, for work on & reservoir, and Connolly said “why don’t the Mayor sign that warrant ?” Witness took it to the Mayor, and he said T must do what I am told to, but I will takoit to Albany, and I haveno dombt it is all right.” Witness was peid, but not before a friend of his sont the Mayor two pieces of silver, one from the witness, and one from Ingereoll, which the Mayor ackmowledged in anote. Witness paid for his portion of silver. Mayor Hall. Do you recollect telling me af the corner of Stuyvesant street that your bills were just 2 Answer. No! But it was not likely I was going to tell you they wereunjusi. (Laughter.) The Court adjourned. ’ POLITICAL. ADMINISTRATION TROUBLES IN NEW YORK. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yorg, Oct. 25.—Serious dizsensions have broken out in the Administration organizations in this city, owing to the arbitrary control exer- cised by the Custom House clique in nominating the local candidates. Nearly three-fourths of the nominations for Congress, State, and city officers have been conferred on Urited Statea officials holding minor positions in the Castom Honse and Intérnal Revenue service. Many Republicans are tired of this monopoly. It is probable the dissension will terminate in an open split in some of the asgc- cistions before the election. Since this wrang: ling began, it has leaked out that the Adminis- tration managers here made & & compact With O'Brien to give him $40,000as soon as he should have raised ten political banners ; and that when this number had been raised the sum agreed upon was refused, and only $20,000 wero offered to O'Brien. Brick Pomeroy has dropped Charles O'Conor in disgust, saying that O’Conordoes not de- serve even one vote -for the Presidency. 0’Conor has been more of a coward than a leader ; more of a word-maker than a man of daring; more of a twudal‘;;-f pettifogger than & bold decisive Democrat equal to great emergen- cies. Anna Dickinson’s address at Cooper Institute, to-night, entitled ‘Is the War Ended ?” waslis- tened ' to by an_ overflowing and enthusiastic Greeley audience. Miss Dickin- ‘son made & very effective contrast between Greeley and Grant, condemning the latter vehemently for his selfishness, stolidi- ty, and corrupt affinities. She believes there aré Liberal Republicans enough to elect Greeley overwhelmingly, provided the Democratic party ‘make good their part of the alliance to purify the Government. GOVERNOR HENDRICKS AT MONMOUTH, ILL. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. Gavrzspume, T, Oct. 25.—Governor Hene dricks, of Indiana, accompanied by General A. C.

The city turned out to psy a tribute to the hero of our gister State. The Governor was introduced by Colonel F. M. Hale, of this city. He spoke but 2 quarter of an hour, as his voice was weak and hoarse. Grest cheers greeted the many telling hits he made during his speech, and every one was thrilled by his masterly eloguence. He was followed by General Dodge, who spoke for near- 1y two hours to an audience not yet equalled in its enthusiasm. After giving three hearty cheers for Horace Greeley, Governor Hendricks, and General Dodge, the most effective mass- meeting ever held in this city came to a close LIBERALISM IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS.
