DEATH FROM HYDROPHOB1A.
The Victim, q Philadelphia Womal
Suffers Excruciating Agony.

Mrs. Mary r. Lindermier is lying
dead from hydrophobia. Her death
was one of agony. She carried on a
saloon at GA North Fourth street. She
was healthy, robust woman of forty
seven. She had remarkable fondness
for dogs, and was in the habit of having
half a dozen around her all the time.
Six or eight weeks ago she was at
tracted, while out walking, by the yelp-
ing of two of her poodles. A strange
cur was worrying them, and when she
tried to drive it away it snapped at her
and bit her slightly in the finger. She
paid no attention to it, and thought no
further of the slight wound. Last week
Tuesday she complained of WEAKNESS
and of o sharp pain in her arm. The
next day she felt no i'll effects, but on
Thursday the pains returned. DR..
James Collins was called in and pre-
scribed for her. By Saturday she devel-
oped alarming symptoms, and showed a
great dread Of water. Three or four
more physicians were summoned, and
they prescribed the South American In
dian war-arrow poison. Wourali, cam
phor and opium were also used. Sat
urday night she appeared much better
and complained of thirst, but when wa
ter was given her she dropped the glass,
exclaiming: II can't drink, my heart
would stop" Her last drink was Sun
day evening, when she swallowed, with
grea: difficulty, a little milk-punch.
Then she grew much worse and her
suffering from thirst was terrible. She
was suspicious of everybody. The tenn
perature of her body increased, and a
frothy, viscid fluid came from her
mouth. In a spasm, Sunday. her ter
TOR was increased by imagining that
hair was growing from her tongue. She
would not believe that she had hydro
phobia, and was conscious most Of the
time until within few hours of her
death yesterday. The spasms were fire.

Lebanon one is proud of possess
ing the stupidest man in the United
States. He is a farm hand, and was
engaged to pillow ten-acre lot. Wish
ing him to draw straight furrow, his
employer directed his attention to cow
grazing right opposite, telling him to
drive directly toward that cow. He
started his horses, and his employers
attention was drawn to something else;
but in a short time, looking round, he
found that the COW had LETT her place,
while the sagacious plowman was fol-
lowing her, drawing zigzag furrow all

OF coal the Missouri Zinc Furnace, the hfeir
Furnace, and the South st. Louis Iron Com
pauy's Works suspended operations to-day,
and will not stnrt up again until they have
secured supply Of coal from the Eastern
coal regions. Coal Of nil sorts is scarce in

the extreme weather so early in the season.
During the summer and fall all the anthracite
dealers had their sheds fillct, and con-
sumers. neglected to lay tn Supplies
until the last moment. when they cleaned
out the y ards in no time. Dealers, of course,
ordered more coal from the Eastern markets
as soon as the rush came, but the new stock
has not arrived yet. The trouble Is lack Of
cars between Buffalo and Toledo. Ono conf

to dealer here that they are. 10000 cars be-
hind in orders for Western shipments. The
stoppage of work in the furnaces above not
