HORROR OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Terrible Suferings of Victim at
Reading.

Reading (Pa.) special: Cyrus Grow,
aged thirty-fve, night watchman at the
Reading Railroad Steam Forge came home
to-day complaining of feeling unwell In
the presence OF his wife he was seized
with violent spasm, and would have
fallen on the stove had she not caught
him. The spasms increased in severity,
and he frothed at the mouth and barked
like a dog. The neighborhood was
aroused, but it required seven men to hold
the sufferer down, the horrible spasms
lasting one hour. Then Mr.. Grow re-
quested Alderman Deem to have him
SACKED and bound down in his bed, say
ing: 81 know what is coming Oh, that
horrible hydrophobia! was bitten years
ago by mad dog. / don't want to do any,
one any harm when l get into. one of
those fits" His instructions were fully
carried out, and all the afternoon he was
writhing in a terrible fit, finally succeed
ing in forcing off one of the handouts. 1t
required five men to hold him. Shortly
after , O'Clock he became calm, and
again begged his friends to forsake him.
About o'clock he was again seized with
a spasm, and by violent movement sue
ceeded in wrenching off the iron cuffs en-
tirely. He then jumped from the bed and
leaped to the second-story window, where
saw the mans frightful antics, hurried up
stairs and crept into the room behind his
back. Just as they were going to seize
him he jumped with an awful shrek. An
officer caught him by the wrist, and a
violent struggle eusued, the officer inside
and the man wriggling in the air. Grow
finally worked himself loose and tumbled
to the icy pavement below, where he
quickly pulled out pocket-knife and
stabbed himself in the throat and cut both
his wrists. By this time fully 300 people
had gathered, and the bleeding victim was
carried to the Central police station,
whence he was taken to the County Hos
pital. He is'supposed to be in dying
condition. Mr.. Grow is very respectable
man, the father of five children, and has
been watchman for five years. He has
been suffering from malarial fever, and
opinion is divided as to the cause OF his
mania

THE GREELY PARTY.
Congress Urged to Take Action for sts
Relief

kettet.
WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE Presi-
dent transmitted to Congress to-day a
communication from the Secretary of War
and Secretary of the Navy, setting forth
the necessity of another expedition to
Smiths Sound for the relief of the Greely
party, and a special message recommend
ing an immediate appropriation for the
purpose. Secretaries Lincoln and Chaud-
Ter, in their letter to the President, state
that the Relief Board recommend the pur-
chase and fitting ont of two steam whalers,
to leave New York May LIST, and reach
Upernsvik about May goth. A smaller
advance ship, which may take greater
risks, is also suggested. In his message
the President says; I'm the plans for the
relief of this party, as arranged with
Lieut.. Greely. it was contemplated that
an effort would be made to communicate
with him and furnish him aRy needed as
sistance in 1882 and again in 1883. Sub
sec Guently legislation enacted required the
expiration of 1883 to bring the
party home. 1t was part of the
arrangement that if communication
could not be made with him before
September l, 1888, he should abandon his
station in Lady Franklin Bay not later
than the above mentioned date. and pro-
ceed southwark, ard would find well-Sup-
piled relief station at the entrance OF
Smiths Sound, point which would not
be difficult for him TO reach during part of
each year. The expeditions in 1882 and
1888 were sent, but neither of them We're
able 60 communicate with Greely, and the
last one failed TO accomplish any part of
its objects beyond leaving very small
quantity of stores in the neighborhood of
the entrance TO Smiths Sound. The stu
alton of Lieut.. Greely and his party under
these circumstances is one of great peril,
and in presenting the preliminary views
of the board appointed by me TO take into
consideration an expedition Tor their re-
lief, l urgently recommend the prompt
action OF Congress to enable the recom-
mendations of the Secretaries of War and
the Navy TO be carried out without delay"
