tenoon his paroxysms increased in se!
verify, and at times i required the uns
tied strength Of ssssrsl strong men to
keep him IN his bed. . .l. = .a-lfls. E.
His barking and growing were strong.
" suggestive Of the canine voice, and
his suferings filed the spectators with
horror. Later. in the evening he fell
asleep, and he awoke about eleven in d
terrible spasm. He worked in il for
some time, and its severity increased 50
much that four strong, powerful men,
who were attending him, had all they
could do to hold him down, and to keep
him from doing violence to himself and
them. He was now foaming at the
mouth. barking like dog, and between
his howls, groans, and cries Of agony,
he snapped and bit at those sround him
like a savage dog.
Occasionally he would have lucid in
tervals, and, during those resting spells,
if We may call them such, he informed
his attendants that in his paroxysms he
was assailed by the spirit of dog on
one side and another spirit on the other.
DR.. Armstrong vas again summoned,
and to relieve him Of the terrible spasms,
which were rending his frame almost
apart, began administering to him hy-
podermic injections of morphia and
atropia. 1t took six or eight injections
to thoroughly quiet him.
About three o'clock the death fever
developed itself prominently, and he
gradually became more and more ex-
hausted, until at the time above men,
toned death came, happy relief to his
sufferings. 1t appears that his reason
for denying to DR.. Armstrong the fact
Of his being bitten by dogs arose from
the fear that the admission of the fact
would, in some unaccountable manner,
result in hydrophobia, and he evidently
thought that as long as he could keep
the knowledge that he had been bitten
secret he could ward offthe fell disease,
which he evidently knew was incura-
BILE, for he would ask the doctor everv

them. He was member of the Knights

A New YoRE paper says that Coy
crnor Hampton and Attorney~Gen-
cral Conner have left New York for
South Carolina, the object of their
visit being satisfactorily ac-
complished. Their mission was,
among other things, to arrange for
Il temporary loan Of 100000 to
pay the present expenses cf the
State government and some floating
CLAIMS demanding immediate atten-
ton. The two gentlemen presents
cd tho facts in the case to several
capitalists of the city, and met with
an immediate and favorable re-
sponse, but subsequent advicos
from South Carolina make it proba .
bic that The loan will not be called
for; already SO considerable por-
ton of the July insiallment of the
tax levy has been paid that by the
end Of the month sufficient
amount may be collected to pro-
vide for all present needs. In this
event, no call will be made for the
New York loan.

THE JEALOUSY existing between
tho rival cities of ST. Louis and
Chicago is well illustrated by the
following extract from the st. Louis
Republican "Chicago has been at
it's usual work again, and has just
issued it's annual combined hotel
register and graveyard roster. Tho
manner in which this curious and
useless publication is made up is SO
we'll understood that no one will be
surprised that this issue, coming out
a month later than the one publish
ed in st. Louis for 1877, purports to
contain 39,319 moro names. Among
other things it protends to contain
tho addresses of 1926 saloon-lecp-
ers, while it is said only 1902 can
be found in ST. Louis, yet it claims
only 1862 bakeries to 24O in St.
Louis. There is q show of truth in
these comparisons, bat not enough
to give character to the whole" =

A TERRIBLE DEATH-A horrible
accident, resulting in the death of
an aged man, occurred near tho
Augusta Factory, about quarter to
s o'clock, last Sunday night. Mr..
John Davis, who had reached the
ripe old age Of 70 years, was an en-
ployoe of the Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company, having Il position
IN the shops as carpenter. Sunday
night, just before tho fast train Of
the Macon and Augusta Railroad,
bound for Augusta, was due, Mr..
Davis picked up bucket and startr
eel to the pump, just across the rail-
road, for some water. Just then
the train came in sight, and Mr..
Davis, evidently satisfied that no
could cross the track before it came
up, endcavored to do SO. Unfortu-
natcly he was mistaken. He was
struck by the pilot and pitched
almost as high rs the smoke stack,
falling back to the earth, at the side
of the track, Il bleeding, mangled and
unconscious being. AS soon as pos
siolc, the train was stopped and the
engineer and fireman ran back to the
spot. Mr.. Davis was still alive, but
there vas a terrible cash in his head,
his throat was mangled and one arm
WAS broken. Mr.. DAVIS died in
about half an hour after being
struck

million dollars. William I'll. got
nearly all the estate of his father,
Commodore Vanderbilt, by the
terms of the will, and his brother
and sisters think he ought to take
care of them handsomely. This
suit is based on an agreement which
Cornelius j. claims his brother made
with him in relation to tho final set
tlcment of their fathers great estate.
It is also claimed that the principal
Vanderbilt heir made similar agree
ments with his two sisters. The

sort Of compromise with the dis
Inherited to buy them off from a

IN Colorado the Woman Suffiagsts are
making mighty efforts to carry the election in
October, when the question of woman suff-
rage is to be put to the vote. In the early
days of Kansas an attempt was made to give
women the ballot, but it failed So did a
like attempt in Michigan but Wy oming some
years ago admitted them to the same privi-
lege at the polls as men have. The approach
ing Colorado election will decide the matter
there, as clause in the constitution of the
state requires ''the first Legislature of the
state of Colorado to enact law submitting
the question of woman suffrage to the legal
voters of the state at the first general elec-
ton following the adjournment of the Legis-
lature." The campaign has been long in
progress, and every part of the state has been
reached by the women and their male friends.
The Woman Suffrage Association has the
fight in charge, and has shown much ability
and earnestness in its conduct, and has tried
to keep the contest free of tie regular party
feeling, and to this end the leading men of
both the Republican and Democratic parties
have been enlisted by the Suffragists. They
declare they have captured ex Governor Gil.
