The Bite of a Cat.
moist.

Philip Speyer, sixty-four years of age, of No.
$40 East Eighth street. died on Friday from the
bite of a cat. About three weeks ago pet fe-
male cat, which had been with the Speyer fam
lily for years, gave birth to kittens and carried
her young to q closet in the cellar of the house.
The cat then abandoned the little ones and
could not be induced to return to them Mr..
Speyer endeavored to force her to do so, and
with this purpose carried the cat to where the
kittens lay. Twice the cat got away, but was
caught, and in trying again to compel her to
stay with the kittens Mr.. Speyer was bitten on
the thumb. He paid no attention to the bite,
however but when he went up to his room he
was surprised to see that his clothes were
bloody The marks made by the teeth of the
cat were very small, but the blood freely
spurted from them. A daughter of Mr. Spey-
er tied his thumb in a rag, thus stopping the
flow of blood, but the pain increased and soon
became unbearable. Mr.. Speyer then went to
a neighboring drug store, where he obtained
lotion that temporarily relieved the pain. Dur
ing the night, however he was restless and
could not sleep, and almost before daybreak
started to work, fancying that in the hustle Of
business he would find some relief. At noon
he was compelled to go home and take to his
bed.
Toward night his thumb and arm began to
swell; he grew feverish and exeitable, and re-
quested his daughter to send for the family
physician. The doctor found his patient suf-
fering from lymphangtis- inflammation of
the Emphatic vessels-that turned into cry
sipelas, crept up his arm and made suppl
ration of the tissue. Remedies were applied
and the arm was lanced in several places. but
the agony of the patient still continued, and his
arm began to swell to immense proportions.
In spite of all efforts to save him he finally
died on Friday afternoon, after many days Of
most excruciating agony.
For the first week after being bitten Mr..
Speyer was at times delrious, and often it re-
quired several persons to hold him in bed. DIR.
Lilienthal said that death was due to exhaus-
ton. and that the poison which produced the
erysipelas may have come from the cats teeth
OF have been absorbed from the atmosoherp
into the bite.-N. \. Herdld~

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

A. f. BRAKEMAN, who for some weeks
was the laughing-stock of St. Louis, died
the other day in the Missouri Insane Asy-
lum. He came from Nebraska with an
abundance of money, married a chamber
maid at the Planters House, gave her
wardrobe costing 500, and was deserted
on the day succeeding the wedding. He
was several times arrested for eccentric con-
duct on the streets. An autopsy revealed
the fact that he died from softening OF The
brain.

MISCELLANEOUS.

SECRETARY FOLGER has recently had
a startling experience in the engraving and
printing bureau. The other night Prof.
CASTELAR, found two of the Government dies,
representing the tens on the National Bank
notes, lying outside the safe and within the
reach of the watchmen. Through Colonel
Irish the dies were sent at once to Secretary
Folger, who took time to satisfy himself
that the event was caused wholly by care
lessness. Mr.. Bell, the custodian of the
plates, was dismissed, and Captain Bur-
rows, OF New York, was temporarily placed
in charge of the safes.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, was damaged to the ex-
tent of 100000 on the same day. The Globe
Parcel Express building and several other
warehouses at Manchester, N. H., burned on
the 31st. The loss is enormous.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

AT Quincy, H., on the 29th, DR.. e..
C. Hoffman, managing editor of the Daily
Gernaauia, was assaulted by A. B. Hellhake,
Casper Hellhake and DR.. Spear, and shot in
three places, it is thought fatally. The as
sault grew out of an account Of an attempt
at suicide of a sister of the Helhake boys.
The case was called on the 30th, and on the
representation OF attorneys, and the fact
that the Doctor was still alive and the ply
sicians unwilling to positively state that he
would die, the Police Magistrate fixed the
bail of the Hallhake brothers at $40, 900 each,
and OF DR.. Spear at $4,000, postponing a
hearing for nine days. In default of bail
they were committed to jail. There is but
one sentiment among the people, that it
was the most uncalled-for, dastardly and
cowardly attack ever made on an unarmed
man.

builder of Port Huron, Mich, was acct
