Hydrophob,a " ithout A Dog Rite

On Thursday last Luke DriscoIl of Bald
winsville, N. A., aged 90. was seized with
symptoms Of hydrophobia. He snapped
and growled at everything that came near
him. He would fix his eye on an object
for moment and then start for it with
his mouth open like a wild animal. He
became so violent that it was necessary to
tie him on his bsd, which was done with
stout ropes. Whenever he can reach his
bedding with his teeth he rends it in
pieces. Although he is naturally a feeble
man, his strength now is superhuman and
if he can reach his attendants he fliugs
them about like straws. Physicians de-
clare that it is hydropho5ia, and that he
cannot survive. 1t is not known that he
has ever been bitten by dog.

Row to Settle Disputes Between Employers
aud Employees.
Senator Wallace's proposed act to au-
thorize the creation, and to provide for
the regulation, of voluntary tribunals to
adjust disputes between employers and
employed in the iron steel and coal trade
provides
That upon the joint petition of twenty
five workmcn, citizens of tha United
States, in the trade for two years and resi-
dent in the district one year, and of
five employers, each employing ten
workmen, the judge of the proper
district shall issue license for
a tribunal composed of all equal number
Of employees and workmen (Jwo, five or
seven), and an umpire, all of whom shall
be named in the petition. This tribunal
is authorized to exist one year. There
may be tribunal in each district in each
trade. The umpire is not called upon to
act till discussion is exhausted by the tri-
bunal after their meetings. He may then
be called upon and his decision is made
final except as to the rate Of wages. Wit
nesses may Ee called and proofs produced.
Attorneys are prohibited. No salary is to
be paid to any member of the tribunal and
fuel, light and rent of room are to be pro-
vided by the county. If agreement in the
petition for tribunal cannot be had.
either side may petition and obtain to tri-
bunal for license and thus place upon the
other side the burthen Of refusal to discuss
the questions at issue face to face.

The Cooper house, Union City, Erie

the house, but all escaped with their ef-
facts. The fire started on the roof, orig

Let There be Light.

There is just cause for complaint
among our citizens at the inferior quail
ity of the gas that is being furnished
them 10y the corporation that has mon
opoly of its manufacture. For weeks
the light given, SO far from being of the
standard of sixteen candle power nomi-
mated in the bond between the gas CON-
pany and its patrons, has been misera
BILE, sickly, flickering flame. utterly in
adequate to the purpose it is supposed
B fill and quite short of the promise
OF the managers when they solicited
and obtained the patronage of the
public. Besides, the gas emits an un-
pleasant odT. not unlike that which was
the source Of complaint last winter, and
it is undeniably smoky. If the gas com.
pany can manufacture a sixteen candle
power product at 60 cents a thousand
feet, as it one time boasted it could.
our citizens who pay 81 for the vile stuff
they are obliged to put up with
have good cause for complaining, and
for refusing to pay their bills. The
contract between the gas company and
the consumer is as binding on one as on
the other. The company exercises the
power of stopping off its gas when it's
bills are unpaid but before it can gain
a right to demand its bill! it must furnish
the quality of light it has promised. No.
torionsly it does not do this, and con-
sequently it cannot collect it's bills if
payment is refused, nor can it shut off
the gas if this is objected to its agent
who undertakes to do this may be forci-
bly, prevented. 1t has but one thing to
do. and that is to furnish the quality of
light it has contracted to provide; then
only need it be paid.
But as it persistently refuses to do this,
is there no power in the city corporation
to secure redress to the people? Must
this monopoly be permitted to occupy
