upstairs ever her at No. 90 Ship
street, she was suddenly taken with
frothing at the mouth and spasms.
1T occurred to these people that she,
having been bitten by her boy,
might be laboring under the same
disease, and they therefore shut her
up In the room and notified Lieu
tenant Dairy of the Fifth Precinct.
That officer Immediately repaired
to the house, which is but a short
distance from the police station,
and entered the room where she
was. As soon as he enter ed the
room the woman, who was lying on
the bed, jumped up and made a
spring to get hold of him. He bad
the presence of mind to pull some
of the clothes off the bed, which he
threw over her head,a in this was
successful in holding her. A mes
senger was sent for DR.. Palmer, Who,
upon examining the woman, pro-
nounced it hydrophobia, and order
ed her removal to the Rhode Island
hospital. The police ambulance
was sent for, and after the woman
was securely bound she was placed
therein and conveyed to the above
institution by Sergeants Runkin
and Leavitt and Officer John Tracy.
1t was terrible sight to see the
woman and her actions while being
bound by the officers. She would
snap and snarl like a dog, and if
person were outside the house and
heard her bark they would be fully
assured that there was a dog in the
house, if they did not know the con
trary. She would set her eyes first
on one and then work one corner of
her mouth like a dog, show her
teeth, then, after a deep growl, bark
and snap. 1t was perfectly horrible
10 behold her. Besides, frothing at
.he mouth as she did made her still
worse to look upon. She was car
ried safely to the hospital and
lodged there. The husband, Charles
Molyneux, was also bitten by the
boy, and fears are entertained that
be will also be taken with the same
Ioathsome disease. Mrs. Molyneux
is 81 years of age, quite good look
ing, and has a sister in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, who is well off. AS stated
in these columns once before, Mr..
Molyneux's family are respectfully

master of the city of Dublin, Ire
land. The boy Harry is about the
same as when taken to the hospital
if anything little better.

Prof. Spencer D. Clack has re-
signed the position he so efficiently
and admiralty filled as principal

be succeeded by Mr.. H. G. Aber
nathy, a thoroughly competent
teacher, who will wear his prede-
cessor's mantle gracefully. Prof.
Clack's popularity with the officers
and patrons of the school is best
attested by the reluctance with
which his resignation was accepted
and the complimentary resolutions
adopted by the board of trustees,
which are published in to days

Chicago Times letter: There are
plenty OF Democrats in Washington
who now doubt the possibility of
the power of the Republican party
ever being broken. Oficialism
has grown, and will continue to
grow, with such rapid strides that it
constantly strengthens the party
that is in it. There are 100000 Office

They represent a compact, disci-
plined force, against whom the
Democrats can only throw mobs OF
irregulars, who are led by ancient
fossils, incapable of wise general
ship and any kind of strategy.
Something of the power obtained
through assessments was shown the
other night in conversation with a
81 600 clerk, who, by the way, is a
Democrat, and therefore not inclin

We have thought, perhaps a score
or more of times, that we would
write one more time and then quit,
but some events transpire that we
think ought to go into print,
and we cannot overcome the de
sire to see them in the CITIZEN.
So, here is one more epistle.
Our town is gradually improving.
The mill company are now running
two cotton gins with their engine,
What they lost by the wheat failure
they will make up by cotton toll.
Success to them. Mr. Wood has
moved to the Mill, is fitting up a
store room and will soon be ready
to sell dry goods and groceries to the
people. Mr.. Roller is acting at
present as emigration agent for the
Louisville and Nashville r. r. He
is sending many people over this
route. Quite a number left few
days ago from the southern border
of Marshall county for Texas. We
hope Mr.. r. will not induce any OF
our good citizens to emigrate, but
if he can succeed in removing such
as prowl around hen roosts we
would be glad snd would give him
the seven chickens stolen from us
the other night if be can find them.
We are sorry to learn that our
TREND and fellow citizen, Mr.. d. L.
Graves. has determined on gong TO

lose him. May fortune smile upon
him wherever he may make his
home. Mr.. Thad Cook, who was

ElktOn.

During "Aunt Mollie's" absence,
Elkton has not obtained a hearing
in your columns; therefore, feel
assured that few items from our
burg will not be unwelcome.
The general health of the commu-
nifty is good at present. Farmers
have been delayed in their work on
account of the heavy rains, but, as
the weather is now more favorable,
they are busily engaged gathering
crops and sowing wheat, while the
merchants are on the lookout for
customers.
The hog cholera is raging in
some neighboring localities, but
has not reached us yet.
1t is with sadness we record the
death of Mrs. Glen, wife of An
drew Glen, who died recently in
district No. l.
On last I thursday morning a ne
gro catin on the Spofford place, in
district No. 1, was consumed by
fire, burning to death two little ne
gro children, while their mother
was in the cotton patch.
Mrs. Williams is visiting her sis
ter at Nashville.
Messrs. George Hunter and Taz
Ezell; two of Elkton's former clerks,
are now attending medical lectures
at the Vanderbilt.
Mr.. William Smith, who formerly
clerked for McLauriDe d Gilmore,
is now employed at W. j. Ridge

Mr.. Neal Hollis is making a
beautiful new residence of the old
Baugh hotel. DR.. Glaze has nearly

Gates anything, it seems that our

INCARCERATION.
A Young White Girls Runs
Away With and Marries a
COIOred Man, Backing
Her Face for the
PURPOSE.

KINGSTON, n. Y. November IL.
Social circles at Gardiner. in this
county, are greatly excited at pres
ent over the elopement and mar
rage of Miss Carrie NJ. Plant, a
young white Woman, with James
w. Sampson, a mulatto. Miss
Plant is a niece of Mr.. John II
Deyo, a wei TODD farmer residing
in the town of Gardiner, who during
the war was extensively engaged
In trading along the Mississippi,
and was estimated to be worth
100000. He was well known at
New Orleans and whereabouts. AT
ter the war Mr.. Deyo settled down
ON his farm in this county, and, as
he was childless, his niece, Carrie
Plant, was adopted into the family.
During the past summer Mr.. DeyO,
being sick and unable to assist in
working his farm, hired James
Wesley Sampson, q young colored
man about twenty one years of
age. He was a good worker, polite
and pleasant about the house and
farm. and soon won the good will
and respect of those about him.
After a while it was noticed that
Wesley was paying Kiss Plant too
much attention, and her uncle, two
weeks ago, concluded that it would
be advisable to send his niece off
on a visit for a month or so. But
before he could make his intention
known both Wesley and his niece
were missing, Search was at once
instituted, but without avail. The
climax was reached on Saturday
last, when it was discovered that,
after encountering many difficult
ties, the runaway pair had been
made man and wife. Sampson and
his bride, it finally leaked out, had
visited a number of ministers and q
justice of the peace, but under no
circum stances would they listen to
their entreaties to be married.
They had about given up in despair
and left for the house of one James
Cantine, who keeps a low resort.
There the wife of Cantine { a white
woman) resolved that the pair
should be united even if she had
to resort to strategy. 1t was de
cided that Miss Carries face
should be blackeUed With burnt
cork. This was done, and the
pair started off to the parsonage OF
the Reformed D4,ca church of
Stone Ridge, where Rev. V. S.
Hubert, the pastor, without for a
moment suspecting the deception,
united them in wedlock. When the
news reached her former home her
uncle was nearly crazed. Sampson
and his wife have settled down at
Dapala, a negro colony not far
rom this city. Miss Plant, who is
1ow about seventeen years of age,
would have fallen heir to the
arger part of the property of her
lncle, who is estimated TO be
worth from 100000 t. $4,000.

NO the People OF Giles County.

We are glad to know that our friend
Mr.. w. T. Pack has gotten out OF his
troubles. We have always found him
a straightforward, honest gentleman,
and we know his intention was not to
defraud, for we have tried him. He
like great many others, had sporting
disposition, but we considered him al
ways honest. Only short time since
he had the misfortune to lose his affec-
tionate, tender wife, and this caused
him enough grief without having to be
pursued by the law. 1t was no chris
tain spirit that actuated his prosecutors
The loss of his dear wife left him in sole
care of his helpless little children, and
resting under this grief and care, he
was also made 20 suffer almost the en-
| tire loss of his crop. In his troubles,
some proposed to be lenient with him,
while others pursued him. He deserves
and should have our sympathy rather
| than our condemnation Such men are
not found in every community, and the
generous nature that led him to indis-
cretions should excite our warmesi
sympathy. He always stood up to his
friends and neighbors in trouble, and
now shall we not stand by him? We
repeat that his sufferings and cares
should endear him to us, and we re-
spectfully ask all good people to re-
member his generous virtues and let a
christian charity be mantle for his in
discretions. Respectfully, A. c.
