Terrible SuHeriugs OF a GeorRian from Hy-
drophobia-Dcath n Welcome Relief

Terrible Sufferings OF a Georgian from Hy-
drophobia-D Death a Welcome Relief.
\ McDonough. GA, SPECIAL SAYS: At
the spring term OF the Henry Superior
Court, four months ago, Mr.. L. ID. Raven
was sworn in as special baiiff, and during
the week OF his service he was regarded a.
one OF the most prompt and capable officers
in attendance on court. Acting In this
capacity on the oath OF April he was direct
ed to go to Griffin and serve a subpoena
upon sn important witness, which
duty was promptly performed. Not
wishing to wait for the train, he concluded
to walk as far as Sunnyside, spend the night
with friend. and proceed by rail TO Hamp-
ton next morning. He reached Sunny .ids
about O'Clock that night, and when with.
In short distance OF his friends residence
he saw a dog in the road Just ahead OF him.
He attempted TO lass without attracting the
dogs attention, but had gone only few
steps when the brute sprang upon him. and
with such sudden force as to throw hiu to
the ground. A fierce struggle then ensued,
but, hastily regaining his feet, Mr.. Raven
procured heavy stick, and finally succeed
cd in laying his vicious adversary out
stark and stiff. He emerged from tue con-
fict with only slight wound ON the hand.
which he cauterized RS soon as he could
find physician. The wound healed rapid.
ly, and In q few DAYS he had entirely re-
covered. At any rate, he suffered no pain
or discomfort from it, and was apparently
as well as ever. In general appearance he
was robust and healthy, a1d to all out
ward seeming had as long lease
on LIE as anybody. Last Friday he
complained OF peculiar sensation
In the wounded hand. Saturday IL
was no better, though he felt well
enough 10 go to the polls In the afternoon
and vote. by Sunday the sensation had
developed into a continuous thrill Of pm.
which permeated the entire system. Ia
was much worse on Monday aud exhibited
signs OF rabies. The next
day he became delirious, could not bear the
sight OF water, and tossed and tumbled In
an sgony OF pain that was pitiful 10 see.
Once or twice he broke away from his At.
PENDANTS and escaped to the woods, and IL
was with difficulty that he could be retakcn.
That night he was seized with commissions.
which followed each other in violent and
rapid succession until morning. when death
came to bis relief. He realized his despe.
rate condition and recognized his surround
ngs TO the last. During the intervals be-
ween spasms he would cry out: "Kill ali
he dogs. kill all the dogs" Those who
his death say his suffering, were
horrible beyond description aud final dis.
olutlon was welcome relief. Deceased
caves wife and I've small children.

scmbIed at the parade-grounds south Of the
camp to witness the sham-battle. which
was 10 be the most exciting ana iutere, tino

seats into heterogeneous mass on the
ground below. Assistance was pronptly
given by the surgeon-Gencral, the wounded
being first extricated from the timbers OF
The structure and removed to convenient
portions OF the camp. II was found that
more than fifty persons had been hurt.
their wounds varying from sprained ankles
and wrists to fractured limbs and serious
internal injuries. None OF the unfortunites

Canadian Militia Indignant.

An Ottawa telegram says: There is great
indignation among the officers OF the Cani-
dian militia over cabegram sent to Eng
land from Montreal by correspondent Of
The Central News Agency who accompa-
MED the British Association 10 the lai-
ter city from London. The cablegram
states that after interviewing White
Eagle and several officers who ac-
companied Lord WolscIey on the Red
river expedition that the officers OF
the Canadian troops generally dlsap-
proved OF General Wolseey's appointment
to the supreme command OF the Egyptian
expedition. and pooh-pOohed his plan OF
campaign as far as they dared; that they
sneored at the War Offices statement which
makes parallel Between the Nile and Red
river campaigns. More than 400 officers
and men OF the militia are here attending
the Dominion rifle matches, and all OF them
denounce the statement as n bare lie. Gen
oral Middleton, commanding the militia.
stated that instead Of disappearing OF the
appointment Of General Wolscley the ofli-
GERS Of the militia were highly delighted.
