A TERRIBLE FATE.

Bitten by n Blood HOund-A Mothers Male.
misunderstanding Death from Hydro.
phObia.
A melancholy and IN many respects singular
0eath from hydroph0bia occurred yesterday
morning at Yonkers Westchester county where the
horrifying circumstance Is at present engrOsslng
an unusual share of attention. 10 medical men It Is
another terrible illustration OF the fact that although
the poison conveyed In the bite Of rabid animal
may remain dormant in the system for an indefinite
period its power to torture and destroy life does not
deteriOrate.
The victim, Thomas Lamb, who was in his twenty.
fourth year, was by trade an engineer and employed
at foundry in the village named, thoughout which
he was well known as q trustworthy, Industrious
man. During last winter, while employed in a
brewery In neghboring village, deceased
was bitten by fer0cious bloodh ound, owned by
mis- employer, and although the wound inflicted
by the iangs Of the brute not very severe the
animal was ct once despatched and the affected
part having rapidly healed the occurrence was
soon forgotten by the deceased. On Tuesday Of
last week, deceased was united in marriage
with young woman whose mother had bitterly
opposed his attentions to her daughter. Having
BY the exercise OF a little strategy realized
their matrimonial Wishes the married pair had
&c arcely reached the dom!cile OF the bridegroom
when the mother OF the bride made her ap-
Ing curses and vengeance on the luckiess te;kIs
couple, ferventy prayed that her daughter
might be "a widow In less tlau three molthsn
It appears that the diabolcal imprecatIons OF the
mother had most depressing effect on the minds Of
the young people, and on the following day deceased
evinced symptoms Of the awful malay the seeds OF
which mad been sown In his system some months pre-
viously. Medical skill was resort ID to without avail,
and on Friday the wretched man. In one OF his terrible
paroxysms, escaped from his attendants and after
reaching some open lots, disp.ayed catlike agility
In bounding over fences and 9th rwise dis
porting like an anima. He was subsequently
secured by two Of the YonKers police, who
fund 1t necessary to handcuff the mailman
on arriving at his home In Brook street.. Either
the sight or sound OF water would throw the patient
into the most agonizing convulsOns and as the
malady developed itself lie would bark like dog,
snarllng and swapping at those who were near him.
He continued to grow more violent and dangerous,
so that for many hours before his dissolution was
deemed necessary to bind him with strong coyds,
and while In this condition his struggles shrieka and
howls were truly shocking until death ensue1 as
above stated.
