HYDHOPHOBIA.
Important Medical Opinion Touching

pIOded- Means OF Proven.
tiOn tn All Cases.

NEW YORK, July IS.-The physicians
who have been acting as q corOner's jury
in the case of William Mccormick, who
died Of hydrophobia June 25th, have
brought their investigation to a close,
and have given their verdict. They
say: awe have been unable to estab-
lish conclusively by what dog the dis
ease was conveyed to Mccormick. We
regard hydrophObia as a disease COM
municated only by innOculation, with
specific views, and is not capable of
transmission from non-rabid animals
AS a means of prevention, we recon-
mend that persons bitten by any dog, or
any animal, shall at once, if the wound
is received in part where it is proper to
practice excisiOn, have the wounded
part thoroughly excised, and that the
wound be allowed to bleed for few mo-
ments in a basin of warm water, and
finally that the wound be cauterized with
nitrate of silver, nitric acid, caustic,
potas:ia, a hot iron, or burning coal. In
case a surgeon cannot be found to prac-
tice excision, the patient should apply
a eorl above the wound, and then suck
the part, provided he has no excavations
in his mouth, and at the first opportu-
nifty apply some one of the caustics men
toned. At any period prior to the de-
veIopment of the disease, it would be
proper to excise the circatrix and cauter-

CHICAGO, July 1S.-At a meeting of
the common council yesterday after
noon resolutions were adopted instruct
ing the board of public works to take
immediate steps toward furnishing a
more abundant supply of water in those
portions Of the city where it is insuffi-
cient in time of fire. The board was di-
rected to have all wooden buildings, of
whatever kind, removed from within
the city. IL was expressed as the sense
Of the council that a corps of sappers
and miners should be formed and added
to the present organization. Their duty
should be to aid in quelling confagra-
tons by the removal or destruction of
such buildings as the fre-marshal may
deem necessary. The Chicago board of
underwriters also held a meeting, at
which resolutions were adopted intimat-
ing the belief that their principals will
entirely withdraw the protection of the
insurance companies represented by
them, unless the fire department lie
speedily Snd radically reorganiZed by a
change of officers; by the addition of

The Saratoga Boat Race Come Off at
Last-The Columbia Crew Winner
by Two Lengths, I'm 1850.

SARATOGA, n. Y, July 18.-About
fifteen thousand people assem- bled at the
lake this morning to witness the Univer-
sity boat race, set down for ten o'clock.
The lake was smooth as glass. At
9:65 the first gun was fired; at 1920 the
second and starting gun; at l0:47 all of
the boats got off handsomely together,
the Columbia, at the half mile, taking
the lead. The Trinity then made squirt
and overhauled the Columbia, and at the
end OF mile both lead away from the
Yale, which, in the struggle, had got
ahead, but at that moment fouled and
fell behind. The Princeton came up
close on the Trinity, and the other crews
were about in line behind. At the mile
and-a-half post the Columbia came to
the front again, with the Harvard strug-
Cling sharply; the remainder maintained
their former positions. At the two-mile
point the Columbia was still in advance,
with the Cornell making a squirt to over
take her, and passing the Harvard.
At the two-mile-snd-a-hR point the
Columbia was still ahead, with the
wesleyan, which now showed great
vlgor, pressing her sharply and
steildily. The last half mile was then
one continuous exciting pull between
Columbia, Wesleyan, Harvard and Dart
mouth, and they came in that order,
Columbia ahead about two boat-lengths
and making the distance in sixteen
minutes and fifty seconds. The winning
crew was greeted with tremendous
ehtering. On reaching the shore b.

SERIOUS RAILWAY COLLISION.
One Man Killed. Several Injured. and
Two Trains Converted Into Kind
Iing-WOOd and Serap'IrOn.

CANAsERAGA, n. Y, July 1S.-TwO
trains, No. eastward and No. west
ward-bOund, b)th through express trains,
on the Erie railroad, came in collision
on the single track, one mile of Canase-
raga, at nine o'clock this morning, while
going at the rate of fifteen or twenty
miles an hour. Both engines were de-
strOyed; also the baggage and smoking
cars of the westward-bOund train. A
number of passengers in the westward
smOking-car were hurt. A man named
VanHorn, from Philadelphia, had his
left arm and leg broken, and seems to
be injured internally. A couple of other
passengers in the same car had their
arms broken, and several were severely
cut and bruised. The baggage-master
Of the westward train, named Atkins,
was killed. A brakeman on the same
train had his ankle broken. The fire.
man and engineer escaped with slight
cuts and bruises. The engine of the
eastward train plunged through the
engine, baggage and smoking-cars of
the westward train, smashing the front
platform and the glass in the front end
of the forward first-class car,
which was filed with ladies and chill
dren, who all escaped injury. The bag
gage-car of the eastward bound train
had its ends and side burst out, but the
baggage was uniDjured. The westward
baggage was destroyed, and the mails
racked and torn. 1t is stated that the
eastward train had the right OF way,
and the westward train should have
waited at Barns, the next station out of
Canaseraga station. The westward con-
ductor says he had new engineer this
morning, and that he instructed him at
Barns to pull up and wait for the other
train, instead of which he plunged
ahead. The road curves sharply where
the collision took place, and the trains
are invisible to each other a hundred
yards apart. The crash of the engines
was the first warning to the passengers.

CoLLIERvILLE, Tenn, July l1.-COl-
lierville and the surrounding country, as
far as can be heard frOm, has been
blessed with abundant rains and the
crops are success. The people are now
in a condition to leave their farms and
devote their undivided time and labors
to the election Of our ticket. Indeed, we
now feel that the ticket will be easily
carried, but no exertion will be wanting
in these parts to give it entire success.
But there is some trouble in the minds
of the people about the congressional
canvass. Who can beat Barbour Lewis?
is the all absorbing topic. 1t is thought
by some that the residence Of the Demo
cratic candidate will have a good deal
to do with the election; that perhaps
the candidate should come from the
eastern part of the district, and upon
this ground many citizens here favor
the nomination of Colonel Marshal I.
Polk, of Hardeman county. II is said
that Polk has an unexeeptionabler record,
and perhaps all the requisites both for
the office and canvass, and it is certain
that no man could rally a stronger sup
port in Hardeman and Fayette counties
that Colonel Polk. The Radicals hold
meeting here to-day to elect delegates
to this county convention.

CLEVELAND, July 1S.-The announce
merit of the death of Rev. DR.. Goodrich
at Lausanne, Switzerland, causes a feel
ing Of general sorrow in this city where
the deacon was so well known and be-
loved. DR.. Goodrich has been pastor OF
the First Presbyterian church of this
city since 1858, and went abroad some
eighteen months ago to seek the rest his
failing heslth demanded.
A widow woman named Bridg get
Gleason, forty-five years Of age, residing
at 1872 University street, died yesterday
while under the influence of chloroform
in the office of DR.. H. T. Biggsr. The
operation to be performed was extracting
a needle which had accidentally
penetrated the right thigh of the patient.
An examination of the langs and heart
of the woman was made before admin
isteIing the chloroform, and her eOndi-
ton for taking it was considered good,
but after taking about twenty-five drops
she was attacked with spasms, and not
witlIstanding the physicians made every
effort to restore her, she died in few
minutes. A post DlorteDl examination
and inquest were held this morning.
The coroner's jury rendered verdict
that the deceased came to her death
from the effects Of chloroform, and that
the heart was in such a condition as to
render the administration of chlorOform

TIE Chicago Tribune, referring to the
L" Crescent City white league Of New
Orleans" says: 1.-THE white popula-
tion-the CALLED jade Of the last decade
has WINGED patiently for many years.
Now it proposes to kick. Secretary
Seward called the struggle TO free the
black from his chains the irrepressible
conflict. Governor McEnery applies
the same title to the struggle to free the
southern white. 1t is pitisble that race
should be pitted against race, but it is
inevitable. The oath-bOUnd leagues of
the blacks must be met by leagues of
whites" This one it says "contains
nothing whatever to substantiate the
the cry Of 'kuklux khan which super
loyal and sub-sensible organs haveIaised.
The platform recites the desolation of
Louisiana; pictures the dishonesty of
her rulers and the degradation OF her
judiciary; and declares that the whites
are & in no way responsible for the intol-
cradle evils o misgovernment under
which the State is,perishing.' Despe-
rate diseases require desperate remedies.
The case Of Louisiana is one in point.

Horrible ACCIDENT.
A Child's Body Severed in Twain by a
Railway Train.-The Mother CrRzed
with Grief

CHICAGO, July 1S.-A special from
Jerseyville, Illinois, gives an account OF
a horrible accident near Delhi. Mrs.
Fred Chapman went out blackberrying
accompanied by little boy two years
old. While the mother was busily en-
gagged at her work, the little fellow
strayei Off from her and got upon the
railway track near the curve. Shortly
sfterward the Quincy express nom st.
Louis over the Jacksonville division of
the Chicago and st. Louis railroad,
came numbering along. Although every
effort was made to stop the train, and
the fireman got on the cow-eatcher to
get the child off the track, all was with
cut avail, and the train rushed on,
striking the child and severing its body
in twain. The train having stopped,
the officers and passengers returned 10
the scene of the disaster, where they
met the mother, who was so appalled, at
the great affiiction that had overtaken
her, that she was rendered speechless,
and threw up her arms for few mo-
ments, then commenced tearing Off her
garments, and would undoubtedly have
done herself bodily harDs had she not
been restrained, and became raving

From an Occasional Correspondent
TUsCUBIBIA, ALA, July 16.-An en-
thusiastic railroad meeting was held
here to-day, and it was attended by the
most solid, substantial and enterprising
men of the town. There was but one
sentiment and feeling, and that was to
vote thirty thousand dollars to build a
railroad toward the coal and iron regions.
Tuscumbis enjoys advantages that no
other town enjoys. She is within one
mile of the Tennessee river, that will
soon be made nAvigabie during the whole
year; she is nearer the coal and iron than
any other town on the Memphis and
Charleston road, not being distant more
than from twenty to forty miles of an
abundance of each, and she is in the
center of one of the finest valleys of
land in the south. 1t is all mistake to
say that these people have noenterprise.
They recently subscribed fifteen thou.
sand dollars to build an institution of
learning, that will be an honor to this
State, and she will vote thirty thousand,
dollars to build a railroad to the coal
regions. almost if not quite unani-
mOusly. When this is done, it must
and will secure to her the workshops OF
the Memphis and Charleston and Of all
other roads centering here. Here will
be cotton factories, furnaces and rolling
mills, and these people appreciate that
fact. The taxable property of Tuscum-
bia is now two hundred and thirty thou
sand dollars, and it will be when this
road is built near a million. Thus is the
first feasible project that has been pre-
sented to these people, and they seize it
with energy and determination equal to
that manifested by any town any
where. Your correspondent was right
when he said these people were equal in
morals, intelligence and social standing
to the people anywhere, but he was very
much in error when he compared them
to the denizens Of Sleepy Hollow. He
perhaps did not know what a spirit of
enterprise they Would exhibit when any
project was presented to them.
1t is our interest and should be our pleas
ure to cultivate intimate social and busi-
ness relations with the people of this
valley, for it is one of the most delightful
portions Of the south, and will, think,
IL their plans succeed, be one of the rich
est. They are very much in need of
rain, but more in need Of good cultiva-
ton. Deep ploughing in the fall,
greater diversity OF productions, more
clover ana gram AIu less COlLOD, Will
make this valley the garden of the
south. The Democracy of this State are
upon thorough organIza-
ton in all elections-county judicial and
State. So should we act in Tennessee.
Whenever there is more than one DEM
ocrat running for judge, there should be
a convention. BY all means, we should
not let a Radical be elected in the Carroll,
Henry and Weakly district. The civil
rights bill will be the issuein Alabama, IS

There viii be an old-fashiOned barbe-

understand there win be similar gather
ings Of the people In other parts Of the

people are aroused. This is the way to
triumph in the present canvass. We
are rejoiced to hear Of the healthy, Wig

the country people are aroused it may be
known that all danger is passed. The
Radicals, in this canvass, as in the last
disastrous one, have relied on the we'll
known apsthyof the people, the drOwsi-

the popular mssses have been aroused;
when their honest indignation has been

mixed schools and social equality, it is

Tnesday win be amply sufficient 10 en-
