DYING OF HYDROPHOBIA.
The Victim Trying to Bury His Teeth

The Victim Trying to Bury His Teeth
into the Cheek of the Girl who
Nursed Him.
CHICAGO, March 20.-Samuel Lazare, a
Frenchman, of 211 West Lake street, was
bitten in che hand by a Newfoundland
dog eight weeks ago. A small wound
was made in the cartilage which connects
the thumb and forefnger of the left hand,
but was so slight that Lazare paid no at
tention to it for time. Withing the past
week his left hand and arm began to
swell, and ON Tuesday he complained of a
severe pain in his shoulders. The next
day, while attempting to drink a glass of
water, he was suddenly seized with ter
rible spasm, lasting many minutes. DR..
Probeck was then called in. Every symp-
tom pointed to hydrophobia, and after
summOning DR.. Neil in consultation it
was decided to keep the patient under the
influence of anodynes. All attempts to
administer medicines in liquid form proved
futile, as at the first glance at them La
zare was seized with spasm. 1t became
necessary, therefore, to give medicine to
him in the shape of pills. On Wednesday
night the sick man was taken with a ter
rible cOnvulsion. He snapped and snarled
at every one within reach, and the family
were compelled to call in four strong men
to hold him down in bed. Lazare took
the queer notion that no one should wait
on him except Miss Wolf. Her father
and Lazare are old friends, and the day
his symptoms became alarming he sent
for the daughter. If she left him for two
minutes at a time he would call for her.
Yesterday when Miss Wolf was trying to
give the sick man some medicine a spasm
seized him, and without a moments warn
ing he threw his arm around her and at
tempted to bury his teeth in her cheek.
Fortunately he did not succeed in break
ing the skin, but the mark could plainly
be seen. LaZare died at 1880 last evening.
He had slight convulsion before passing

NEwBURG, n. Y, March 19.-JOhn S.
Sammons, an eccentric citizen of the
town of Montgomery, six miles from this
city, died in December last, and left real
and personal property valued at $11, 600.
He bequeathed the entire estate to the
Montgomery NJ. Z. Church, the income to
be enjoyed by the church as long as it
adheres to the doctrine of the NJ. H.
Churchof North America. A further con-
dition is that the church officials shall
keep his burial vault In good condition
and have 1t visited at least once a month
by a trustee, who is to receive 81 for each
visitation,
The probate of the will is opposed bv
Sammons' relatives, who claim that he
was mentally incapable of making a will,
and also upon the ground that it creates a
perpetual entailment.

the bark Prince of Wales sailed from

don, laden with $2OO,Q1O worth of furs be-
longing to the HudsOp's Bay Company.
The vessel was known to have been
caught in the ice before reaching the omen
waters OF sne Atlantic, but nothing had
been heard or Ter fate or that of her crew
until to-day. News has lust been RECEIVED
oy the company that the vessel was forced
by great lce-ioes upon small island Off

mitted the inference to be drawn that
postmaster Pearson will not be allowed
TO remain long in his place, as had been
reported. Postmaster General Villas said
he had given the matter attention, and
that he should give all other business at
tention as it presented itself, and as the
time was short for settling the appoint
ment for the New York Office it was to be
expected that this subject had not been
neglected.
Postmaster General Villas allows it to
be distinctly understood that he has made
no Arrangement with Postmaster Pearson
by which the latter will hold his office un-
til such time as the President or the Post
master General shall choose to call upon
him to resign. The purpose of the ad-
mlnlstratlOn is to meet this question with
out appearing to shirk responsibility or
the consequences of any decision agreed
to by the Cabinet. The weight of opinion
among Democrats from other States than
New York is against the appointment of
Republicans to office. While they do not
dispute the honesty, ability, or efficiency
of Postmaster Pearson, and while they
are not all determined that Republican
otlcehOlders whose records are clean shall
be removed before the expiration of their
terms of office, they are advising that the
President shall not appoint Republicans
for new terms.
LETTERS WHICH MR.. BAYARD RECEIVES.
In addition to numerous personal APP
plicatiOns, Secretary of State Bayard has
large bundle Of letters every day from
persons who want to serve their country
in diplomatic or consular positions. Not
an office of this kind, from the highest
mission to the smallest Consulship, is
lacking for applicants. None of the pres
ent Ministers or Consuls are protected by
any tenure of office, and all hold their
places simply at the pleasure of the ad-
ministration. Many Democratic patriots,
therefore, can see no reason why there
should be delay in replacing all these
officers with men who worked for Mr..
Cleveland's success. The selection of eX-
Gov. Porter for First Assistant Secretary
of State has caused some criticism among
certain Tennessee Democrats, because at
the last election for State officers he did
not work for the regular party nominees.

WILHELM'S BIRTHDAY.
Germany Pays Tributes of Honor to Her
aged Monarch.

Aged Monarch.
BERLIN, March 22.-The 8Sth anniver-
sary of the birth of Emperor William was
observed to-day with much enthusiasm
and rejoicing. The streets of this city
were profusely decorated with banners.
In the morning the Emperor received the
members of the imperial family and for
eign Princes, and also his old servants, a
number of whom have been attached
to the household for forty or fifty
years. At the signal of the morning
gun the bands of the regiments in
the garrison PLAYED selections of
sacred music. Deputations of soldiers
from all the regiments afterward attended
divine service, Protestant soldiers at the
Military Church and Catholics at the
Church of st. Michael. During the fore
noon the officers were mustered before
the Imperial Palace and refIed past the
front windows, where the Emperor was
stationed, while a salute of 100 guns
was fired. In the evening a family
banquet was held at the palace. Count
Won Hatzfeldt, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, entertained the diplomatic corps
in honor of the occasion.
Busts of the Emperor were placed at
various points on the streets. Numerous
banquets were held and speeches were
delivered at the University and the Acad-
emy in honor of the day. Prince Bismarck
met with an ovation while going to and
returning from the Imperial Palace. The
Emperor is suffering from a slight cold.
notwithstanding the showers of sleet
and hail, there was scarcely
house not decorated with bunt-
ing in honor of Emperor Williams
birthday. The Union Jack was displayed
on the palace of the Crown Prince, where
the English Princes are staying. The
streets were thronged with joyous crowds.
The Emperor, on the advice of his physi-
clan, did not attend the Crown Princes
banquet and the musical soiree in the
SchlOssa Palace.

The COrOnor's Jury Connects him with
the Killing of Miss Madison.
RICHMOND, VA, March 22.-The
Coronor's jury investigating the circum-
stances connected with the death of
Fannie Lillian Madison, whose body was
found in one of the city reservoirs on the
morning of March IA, completed their
labors tonight. They were in session four
hours, during which several witnesses
were examined to ascertain what con-
nectiOn L. j. CluYerius, who is charged
with the murder, had with the affair.
The most damaging testimony was that
of William Tyler, colored, a night
watchman at the American Hotel, where
Miss Madison registered as Mrs. f. L.
Merton, and stopped on the day before
her body was found. He positively
identified Cluverius as the man he saw in
the hotel parlor with Young lady at
about $40 O'Clock. On that night the
prisoner, who was brought into the jury
room so that the witnesses might look
upon him, wore reversible overcOat, and
the witness said that on the night in
question Cluverius wore the light side
out. He was repeatedly questioned as to
the identity of Cluverius with the man he
saw at the hotel but his testimony could
not be shaken. Capt. Epps testified that
when he served the warrant of arrest on
Cluverius the latter expressed astOnish-
ment and denied that he had seen Miss
Madison when he was in Richmond on
March 13. This statement the prisoner
repeated while ON the way to this city
with the officer. The jury rendered YER
dict that "Fannie Lillian Madison came
to her death on the night of March 13 in
the old reservoir, ana that Thomas Jud-
son Cluverius was directly or Indirectly
the cause of it," Cluverius has secured
the service of eminent counsel, and the
trial promises to be one of the most eXcit-
ing held in Richmond in many years.
