Seventy-tvSO Messages NJ a Time Over

The Standard Electric Manufacturing Com.

The great trouble with this system has been
heretofore that absolute synchrOnism has not

AMERICAN SHIPPING.
Hon. Nelson DingIey in Consultation with
President Arthur Regarding H.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Governor Dingley Of
Maine arrived here yesterday to consult with
the President and the Secretary of the Treas
ury as to the recommendations which they will
make to encourage the restoration of American
shipping. Gov. Dingley held conference
with Secretary Folger, and is very confident
that the latter will make some very earnest
recommendations on this subject. Gov. Ding
ley has lost none Of the enthusiasm which
characterized his efforts last year when success
fully conducting the Shipping bill through the
House. That was but a half way measure,
but the burdens of which it proposed to relieve
American shipping were such that, had the
bill become law, very considerable step
would have been made toward the restoration
OF American commerce. Governor Dingley
hopes that this winter the Secretary of the
Treasury will, in his recommendations, go
farther than it was possible to go in the Ding
ley bill of last year, and that he will recon-
mend much more sweeping reductions of the
burdens upon American sailing ships which
the Government imposes. Mr.. Dingley ex-
poets that the Democrats in the House will
again bring forward their project for free ships
Governor Dingley has been informed that
Lieutenant Gorringe claims to have recently
built ship as cheap, quality for quality, as a
similar ship can be built on the Clyde. Mr..
Dingley will endeavor to make careful study
of this achievement and ascertain whether
Lieut.. Gorringe has succeeded in overcoming
the practically sixty per cent difference in the
labor of the two.

A FATAL BITE.
A Young Illinois Girl, After Great suffer-

A Young Illinois Girl, After Great Suffer-
ing, Dies of BydrOphobia.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-Paulina S. Hartman,
aged years, of 1880 Arnold street, in the
town of Lake, died Saturday night of hydro
phobia. She was bitten by little black and
tan dog August 2, but the animal was killed
the next day. As they understood that the
death Of the dog removed all chance OF hydro
phobia attacking the persons bitten, the par
ents let the matter drop from their minds, and,
with the bealing of the wounds 1.-TWO severe
bites ON the right leg above the ankle), all
danger was supposed to be at an end. Last
Tuesday, just nine weeks after the child had
been bitten, she was taken sick, with all the
symptoms of bilioUs attack. The case was
easily recognized as one of hydrophobia. The
child would lie on her bed perfectly conscious,
the froth coming from her. mouth, and would
talk nationally even when the fever was burn
ing her up and her mouth was parched. When
it was necessary to give her medicine, she
would shrink to the farther side of her bed, her
eyes would bulge from her head, and. throw
ing up her hands as though some terrible mon
ster was about to attack her, che would shiver
and give vent to means, followed by series of
barks. She did not become vicious to those
around her, but would clutch the bedclothes
convulsively, aud sink her finger nails into her
flesh and tear long strips from her body. At
about s'clock she revived, and the fear OF
water left her. AT o'clock she answered the
query of how she felt, saying sne was "all
right" and that the pain had gone. Then she
requested tina. her bed be made, and she would
go to sleep. This was done, and the little sui-
terer, who had borne so much pain with such
brave heart, lay over on the soft bed, wit h
out word or a sign or moan, breathed her
last The father of the child avows his inten-
tion of prosecuting the owner of the dog. He
says he has positive Information that the dog
had been rabid for several days before it bit
child, and had been kept in the house, and
that on August 2, it was turned out on the
streets,
