The Hydrephobia Excitement

The general feeling of uneasiness occa-
stoned by the death from hydrophobia
that occurred in the eastern part of the
city, has been greatly increased by the
fact that a numbW of persons have been
recently bitten by dogs straying aronnd
the sJreets. Most of the persons bitten
were children, one of them a son of Ma
thaniel Henderson, living at No. 5O5
Lombard street, who was bitten by a
small terrier dog, yesterday afternoon,
and another little son of Bernard j.
Haughey, residing at No. 605 Christiana
street, who was b. tten on Thursday even
ing. A man came to the police station
this morning, stating that he had been
bitten by dog owned by man named
Riley, living near Fourth and French
streets. His leg was very much swollen
and he wanted to have the dog killed.
A number of complaints have been
made at the police station but the Mayor
has no power to allay the fears of the
people by ordering the suspected ami
mails to be killed. He did so, hewever,
in one case, where the deg was known
to have been bitten by a rabid dog.
The only regulation in regard to
dogs in this city is that they are
required to be registered, but of
the 1000 or 5000 dogs in town
only about 400 have been provided with
thu required register. 1t is probable that
some action will be taken at the next
meeting of council to give the public
some protection from this alarming evil,
but mean while people had better keep
their eyes open for all suspicious CANNES.
