Alarming Condition of Affairg-=- Numerous Fatal Cases Reported. Boston Car-Drivers Take the Place of Equinss: Great Interruption to Businesss Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. SEW YORE. New Yorg, Oct. 98.~The horse plague has assumed & moré serious aspect to-dsy. Tho horaes Yeported dead from all causes, in New York and Brooklyn, number about fifty, Two- thirds of these are probably victims of the epi- demic. Post-mortems show the disease leads to the inflammation and ulceration of the larynx, windpipe, and lungs. Rain has fallen overy day since last Wednesday, with ravw, chilling winds. The horses now at worl on the stréct tre tom- pelled to draw immense loads of humenity, in many casés moon causing prostration. The few kept out in last night's rain are used up to-dey. Bteam dummies will be permitted on the city tracks for the next thirty days, but none are yet visible, A few team oxen appeared on Broadway to:dsy; making two miles an hour, Mules are suffering 28 badly as horses, and seven stable goats in Brooklyn are reported dead from lung fever within the Inst two days. At least half the fine horees owned by the Fire Department are sick, causing alarm smong insurance companies and property-owners. 'The disease spread throug] out one stable of 200 horses in less than twenty- four hours, Butchers cannot deliver their meat; cattle have declined, and several slaughterers suspended work. Business, especially in flour, is nearly at a stand-still. The few cartmen abroed charge S1 per barrel for hauling. Private telegrams from different parts of tha Stato on the line of canal are being constantly received and are of an alarming nature. It is feared by merchants that the stock of bread- stuffs in the city will soon be exhausted if the horaes on the cansl should give out. There in & movement on foot to place steam tugs on the canal if necessary. Parties largely intarested in the grain trade have fenrs they will not ba able to meet the obligations. But one-fourth of the usual number of horse- cars have been running tu-di{, one-eighth of the Broadway stages, and a still ‘smallor propor- tion of other vehicles. The weather to-night is clearer and colder. ‘While the mortality among horses thus faris comparatively light, yet it is apparent the dis- ense is more serious than firat reported, and that hundreds of valuable horses here are danger- ouely sick. (To the Associated Presn.} New Yorg, Oct 28.—The horse dicease shows po shating signs, and the weather to-dayis damp and foggy, and, consequently, unfavora- ble to the atficted beasts. The disposition which has been evinced to work afflicted horses is now beginning to tell in the sfis’mvued gymg toms of many horses that would otherwise be likely to syeudiliracuver. It is now thought that a crieis has been reached, and sfter to-day recovery i8 expected in some of the lighter cases. s Itis proposed to introduce oxen to-day by some city firms as asubstitute forhorses. Yes- terday there were but a few vehicles in the streots. To-day additional cars ware withdrawn from some lines. _Others have wholly stopped. ‘The Ninth avenue line reports & slight improve- ment in many of its horses. Generally, how- ever, the disease is getting worse, Many deaths are occurring. Experienced horsemen gay that by Wednesday there will be a total stoppage of all the public meuns of convoyance. Yes- terday the fow cars running Were 80 Over- crowded that the horses “were almost un- sble to_draw them. In two instances horscs dropped dead on the pavement. In Williums- burg, yesterday, several lines of cars stopped. In Newarkall are stopped. The Street-Cleaning Bureau aver that they will be unable to clean tho strests if tho disease continues. Many races which were to occur this week have been postponed. New Yorg, Oct. 28—Afternoon.—The Board of Aldermen 'to-dsy empowered railroads to uso dummy engines on their lines. The beautiful weather this afternoon brought an increased number of vehicles on the streets. Oxen were used on Broadway and caused a sen- sation. Bome stage car lines to-day partially re- sumed running s ¥ . New Yorg, Oct. 28—Evening.—The horse-die- gase is malitg larming progress in tho city, aad there isamarked decrease inthe number of horses on the streets. The hack stends are almost degerted, and the cross-town line cars and stages es have either suug:ndad or are making only & couple of trips a . Almost every horso on the street 18 affected more or less, and half of them are blanketod. The Socond svenue ling did not withdraw ite cars to-day. The Third avenue took off one-half ; the Fourth avenue is practically suspended, and only runs two or three cars to meet trains. The Sixth avenue is run- ning half its usual number. The Broadway line hauled off twenty-three cars, and on the Broome etrect line there is a complete suspension. The Seventh avenue line runs its ysual number, and the Eighth avenue ditto, with' the rospect of a completo stoppage {o—morto\r. ‘The Ninth avenue line did not run a car to-day. The Tenth avenue and Belt lines were running twenty cars out of fifty, and the Bleecker street line has taken Bev: cars off. On some lines the horses are all sick, but on others the stop- page of cars is necessary to give rest to the horses unaffected. Beverpl horses have died, and great alarm is felt as the disease is becoming more violent. The situation is grave. In Brooklyn the disease shows no abatement, and, as in this city, business and street travel aro serionsly inferrupted. A number of deaths bave occurred. ALBAXY.

"A large number of oxen from the country have been engaged. Manspower is also utilized. Horse-car_travel was partially resumed this ‘morning, four horges being put to each car. Some of 'the South Boston cars are being drawn by the conductors- and drivers. One of the South Boston horse cars made & trip, drawn by employes of the Company—fare twenty-five cents. The car was well patronized. PITTSDURGH. PrrrspuBon, Oct. 28.—A rumor was afloat to- day that the prevailing horse diseace had made its appearance in this city.

To the Editor.of The Chicago Tribune: Sin: As Veterinary Surgeon to the Chicago City Railway Company, I was led to believe, from the reports in the daily papers, the presént malady among horses in Canada : and the Eastern States to be of . 28 malignant a character a8 & gimilar disease that prevailed quite extensively i the southern portion of this city during the peat year, attacking all horses indiscriminatoly,~the supposed advantages derived from adclimatiof being conclusive evidence to my mind that it i not & contagious disease, but owes its origin to tmosphetio ‘inflience,~outbreaks being pre- €eded by sudden thatigés 5f the weather, cold rain-storms causing the greatér havee, I was requosted by R. T: Crain, Esq., Buperintendent of the Chicago City Railway Company; to visit the Bast #nd dtidy the disedse; its pathology, ¢duse, malighancy, and the most reliable means of prevention: . On arriving at Detroit, I was agreeably sur- priged to find that it was not of a malignant character, nor contagious ; also, the number of animals disabled was very miuch overestimated. The first horses inspected bolonged to the Detrolt City Railway Company. The Superin- tendent, Mr. Cox,—to whom I am indebted for my subsequent information,—very kindly show- ed me through the stables. "I found the horses looking hen!gt.hy, and, as he expreseed it, ready 10 eat; drink, and perform their wonted labor. There was not a singlo case of the disease in the 200 horses: He referred me to George Hendrie, Esq. 'file latter gentleman informed me that he owned horaes in Toronto, London, and Hamil- ton, Caneda, also in Detroit, and other points in the'States. 'Ho stated that his horses in Canada were all attacked simultaneonsly, after a severe, cold rainstorm. The morning following, every horse was coughing, hair staring, tho poor ani- mals svidonci::.gcganeml lahguor. No particular notice was attached to the symptoms. Suppos- ing them to bo passive, the lLorses were put to work, but had'to be taken off a few hours after. The westher continued damp, and, consequent- Iy, the disease_sssumed sn slarming character, spreading rapidly. Professor Bmith, V. 8., of ‘oronto, soon succeeded in arresting the malig- nant ciuwter, and, wunder his gkilful treatment, the patients rapidly convalesced, there being no deaths up to date, Oct. 24, Thoso cases only proved fatal where the suf- feriugs of the poor animal had been ignored, and he was goaded on to gratify the necessary ends of his inhuman tormentor, until kind Nature put an end to the eruelty by death. Mr., Hondrie’s horses in Detroit—46 in num- ber—were also attacked, and many others throughout the city, on the day following a cold rain-storm incident to the season of the year: Dr. Murry, & gentleman of experience and & aci- entific vetorinarian, in whose chargothe greatest number of afilicted animals aro, informs me that he had no difficulty in treating successfally, The Omnibus Company reported five cases, all doing well. In Canads, I found soveral cases of the same character. Dr. Murry, of Detroit, defines it a Catarrhal Fever, or Influenza ; and, from what I saw, his diagnosis is correct. The symptoms are: rigor, loss of sppetite; cough; general debility; ac- coleration of the pulso,—varying from 60 to 60 per minute,—in different patients ; tongue and mouth hot, with increased flow of saliva; in somo, obstruction of the lachrymal ducts, caus- ing tho tears to flow over and down the cheeks ; profuse discharge from both nostrils, not of 5 specific character, but merely in the form of a severe cold. A few cases had assumed an asthenic type, and wore convalescing slowly. The disease is not new, as many suppoge, bit one that prevails every spring and fall 2s an enzootic, being unheard of in adjoining counties, towns, or villages, and not always of the same .virulent character, In the years 1836 and 1840, it committed fearful ravages in England; again appearing, enzootic, during the_fall of 1846 and the sprin; following ; again in 1856 and 1857, enzootic, nns of & malignant form. I remember the symp- toms well, and also know that the nse of dople- tory agents proved unsatisfactory, aggravating the symptoms, and increasing the mortality. Isaw several czsesin the Sonth Division of this city early last fall (1871). In the month of September I treated several cages, very mild in form. In December following, it was of a more malignant form. The horses in the City Railway stables suffered from it early in January, 1873, it being at firstmild in form; but, sboat the 13th, it assumed the form of & malignant epizootic, reaching its acme ina fewhours after thepatient evidenced the first symptoms of the malady, The early noticeable symptoms are rigor (chills) no desire for food ; intolerable thirst ; restless— ness ; shifting the weight of the body from eide to gide ; sighing ; laborious abdominal respira- tion ; looking'around at the sides ; pulse heavy; irregular temperature of the body; harsh congh; tumefaction of the parotids. Ausculation di not give any evidence that the Inngs had be- come involved; but, in the region of the bt , crepitous 'rale was perceptible, followed generally by mncous rale the whole extent of the trachea; the pulse- ris- ing very fast, often a8 high as %0, with general lassitude, and fever of an zsthenic character. Buch cases, unless they assumed a typhoid or adynamic fever type, yielded to treatment in a few days; that is, the febrile stage; but I-found my patients required great care during the early stages of convalescence, to prevent s rolapso, which always terminated fatally. The first case, » bay mare in the City Railroad stables, showed symptoms as described, and on the third day exhiiiud signs of convalescence. I gnvs tonics, and ordered care with feeding. ther cases attracting my attention, I paid but little care to my first patient, except to inquire after the appetite, and the_regularity of the bowels. Tho animal ‘appeaced Lvely, 58 it perfectly re- covered. On the ninth day, great surpriso was expressed that the mare was sick_again, thongh it Ead eaten & very hearty breakfast. I found the second condition of my patient worse than tho first (pneumonis). The animal. died in less than forty-eight hours after. I made a post- mortem examination, and found effusion of-a sero-sanguineons fluid into the cavity of the thorax, adhesions to the &:deum of -4he left side, hydrops pericardium, and endo-carditis. Inagl I have treated 460 casesfrom the lst day of January, 1872, up to the present date. It may seem exaggeration, but I refer to the fol- lowing figures: 350 cates in the Ghlcagho City Railway stables,—lost 17; also, & number of Jrivate carriage and other horsed ; also, those of the following firms: Swat & Croach, Downer & Bemis Brewing Company, Fairbank, Peck & Co., Chicago Union Brewing Company, and. many others. Inmy general practice I was very snc- cessful in treatment. During March, 1872, I had 100 cases under treatment at one time in the City Railway siables. Forttymvo of them fever, known motical, _Choracterizod by prostration, of tlie whole nervous system, great impairment of the heart’s action, and & tendengy to col- Iapse. rfiX treatment has been liberal, avoiding pow- erful sedatives. The followiny femedial agents Thave used to my eatisfaction, varying their uge according to the symptoms and nervous temperament of the patien:: Bi-sulphite of sods, nitrates, belledana, verstrum virde, sul- phuric acid, sulphurous acid,and diffusible stim- ulants, with occasionsl counter-irritants. enic care: avoid all solids; givé acidulated inks, hay-tea thickened with oatmeal, linseed- meal, and elippery-elm bark R.

Forney’s Interview with Grant and Cameéron’s Disgust. A Horde of Murderers Seeking Pardon Special Despaich t6 The Chicag Tribuns: . CUT-THROATS SEEKING PARDOS. ‘WisgINGTON; Oct. 28.—The murderers, homi- cides, and wifo-killers, several of whom have ‘been eentenced to be hung here to-dsy, are mak- ing desperate struggles Tor life through appesls for pardon to the President, and invoking the dilatory processes of the law by motions for new trials and prayers for writ of error. The Presi- dent and the Courts have thus far proved stub- born to interfere, and appear to second the popular demand for & real downright old-fashe ioned hanging: . GENERAL SHERYAY; who whs takér sidderily ill on Ssturdsy, is much taken with the asthms, and on Seturday had chill. His physiciana have cantioned him not to leave his room for several days. Colonel J, W. Forney arrived here this morn- ing, ind edlléd fipon the President. Notwith- standing the ald meds oh Liin s the White House by General Cdmeron dnd Russéll Errett, Chairman of the State Central Commiitte, after the Pennsylvania election, Mr. Forney was re: ceived by Genersl Grant in the most cordial iuatner. . The Présidént wis aboiit to go out for aride whon Mr. Formey was announced, but B delayad; and gato tho Colonel quite dlsigthy interview: Tho President did not allude to For- ney’s course in the Pennsylyania campaign, but spoke of his speeches in Ohio, and especially at ovelarid, which He had received znd read. General Cameron; on returning to Pennsylvania from his visit here just after the election, boast- ed that he had slc‘fped Forney from visiting the ‘White House, and stated that Goneral Grant would not receive him. 1t appears, however, that the “ Winnebago Chief " has pot quite at- tained this power: 1t is further stated that Cam- eron is not st all pleased with his l1adt reception here. He visited the White House ;and the Departments in the spirit of a conqueror, and found that he was not so much of a hero after all. The Administration took on itself the credit of having pulled through, not only Cameron's candidate, but also Cameron himself in his pending Sonatorial fight: PUBLIC WORKS. The Governmont proposes to finish up its accounts with the workmen at the different arsenals and public works accruing under the Eight-Hour law in tho next ten days. In the absence of Architect Mullet at New York, the bids for furnishing the dimension stone to be used in the construction of the new Govern- ment building at St. Louis will not be awarded, till his return, most of them being for granite or sandstone, with one for marble.

Stuart, Esq.: My DEAR Siz: Your favor of the 24th inst., saying that a change in the Indian policy of the Administra- tion is reported to be contemplated, is just received, Such a thing has not been thought of, at present, If the policy toward the Indians can be {mproved in any way, I will slways be ready to receive suggestions on the subject; but if any chango is made, it must be on the &ide of civilization and Christianization of In- dians, I donot believe our Creator ever placed differ- ent races of men on this earth with the view of having the stronger exert all his energies in exterminating the weaker. If any change fakes place in the Indian policy of the, Government whilo I hold my- present office, it will be on the humanitarian side of the ques- ticu. Very truly, yours, (Signed) T. 8.

The lawyers on both sides entered into 4 con- sultation, the result of which will not be known until to-morrow. - It is surmised, however, that the prosecution hes reached s partial breakdown, in not making elesr the Mayor's epecific complicity. Another reportis that Mayor Hall {s willing to plead neglect of duty, buf with no crimingl intent. In other words, he is ready o admit that he nor sny other Mayor cgn fully oxamine the papers submisted for official signature, [To the Associated Press.] New Yogg, Oct. 28.—In thé tnal of Mayor Hall to-day, Garvey's testimony was continued.

The ‘witnessleft the city Sept: 2}, in his own name. Did not_then know that he was under indict- ment. He had heard of the civil stitd of the Mayor, but never had a discnsgion or investigs-~ tioh 48 to his accounts. Mestérson, 4 mason, festified as to the actual cost of Garvéy's plastering. The Judge, how- ever, oxcluded his- testimony, saying t the enlargement of Garvey's bills were conceded. A lawyer testified to bringing suit for Garvey's bills on July; 1871. In an_ interview with the Mayr, the Jatfér said that he could do nothing for Garvey—*‘lef the suit go on.” Garvey did not want the failure of ihe Mayor to help him to interfere with their relations in the suits now gend.in;,n ‘ Ex-Deputy Comptroller Storrs testified to the Ma;;;':r'u signing ali the warrants for Court House work.

The teller of the Broadway Bank was called to tostify as to the deposits by Tweed, but, after some discussion, the prosecntion said that the testimony was very important. Judge Bfimndfi said that unless the testimony implicated he would exclude it. Counsel then proposed to show that Tweed snd Conmolly neglected to sudit, but this was excluded. is closed the case for the prosecntion: Hall's counsel then asked if, after such a showing, it was proposed to prosecute the case. 6 prosecution re- licd, *Yes, on_ certain of tha _counts.” 8 remainder of the day was occupied in con- sultation by counsel.

WALL STREET. Review of the Money, Bord, Stock, Gold, and Produce Markets. ] Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yomg, Oct. 28.—The Bullgtin anticipates 2 brisk move in produce exports to Great Brit- ain, to supply the deficiency in the cereal crops there. Itsays: ‘“The money value of the defi- ciency is variously estimated at from 250,000,000 to twice, and even three times that amount. But, whatever it may be, it is quite certain that the United States will be required to supply & large proportion; so that we may look for a very large and active foreign breadstuffs trade. This view is algo sustained by thefact that the wheat supplies from Russia, where England for the last few years, hag drawn the bulk of her importations, are likely to be less than usual, owing to the un- favorable harvest in some of the more important grain producing districts of that vast empire. The supplies from Taganrog, the Sea of Azof, andthe Black Ses are much below the average, and at last accounts prices were rising at nearly ail the ports of supply. This advance 1may be partly accounted for by the eagerness of merchants to increase their supplies before the close of navigation, but under ordinary circum- stances the sapply at shipping ports is equal to the domand. ~ But while £ngland will take all the grain we can spare or find means_to ehip, and pay s fair price for it, any speculative move- ‘ment to force up rates or make & ‘corner” in wheat in view of the Enropean exigencies wonld not be likely to prove any more successful than is nsual in such enterprises.

The World says of the stock market: ‘The bull operators have made arrangements with some of the leading bears by which they have socured their co-operntion, by a syatem of ‘ puta’ and Enmnteess inst loss, to run up ‘prices for the purpose of leading outsiders to buy, so that they may unload to them. Affairs are now so arranged by this combination - of leading _ bulls and ‘bears that it | is impossible for the public or outside operators to make money. In plain terms, cliques control the prices of the leading stocks, and can put them up or down as suits their interest. Since Mr. Boutwell came into the money market, the prices of the leading sharos have been matked up by the cliques aboat 260,000,000, The market f 5‘;’;5"'” dull e market for al es of flour is and weak; the difficulty of moving it prevents any- business of moment, and prices may be mgl.rdy; ed 2s nominal.
