ANOTHER VICTIM NLANCAsTHR-A
LITTLE GIRL DIES In GREAT AGONY
From the Press.
LANCASTER August 30.-Three weeks
ago Louisa Theresa Mccormick. aged 2
years, whose parents live at the corner of
Lime and Church Streets, this city, was
bitten by a dog believed to have the
"rabies." The dog ran by her home and
was muzzled, but the child thrust one
fling through the muzzle and the doc
tore the nail OF and otherwise lacerated
the finger. DIR. George p. King was al
once summoned and cauterized the
wound, but the child continued TO suffer
great pain until yesterday, when she was
taken with convulsions, which continued
until death ended her sufierings at about
3 O'Clock this morning.
She manifested dislike to water for
several days past, but the more violent
pa oxysms-wbere the victim barks like
a dog-never reached her. IL is the
opinion OF the attending physician that
had she lived twenty -four hours longer
she would have suffered that agony also.
The affair has cast deep gloom over
the community, this being the second
child victim OF hydrophoba in this city
during the season.

The Republican civil statesmen a
while ago raised the howl that General
Hancock had written an incendiary let
ter to Sherman, declaring his intention
to inaugurate Tlden as President, wheth-
or or no. Hancock's letter was publish
ed. and 1t tproved TO be one of the most
stitutional and law-abidlng utterances
ever made concerning the electoral mud
die in which the civilians of the country
had involved it. General Sherman de
precated Grants employment of soldiers
at elections as "not military" In other
words, President Grant was then acting
not as soldier but as a politician. 1t

raj snarl. 1t was not soldiers that visit
