M. PAsEEUR has found it necessary
to say to those who are sending him
SO many alleged hydrophobia patients
that it is very foolish to jump to the
conclusion that every person bitten
by a supposed mad dog is in danger of
serious results. In most of such cases,
he says, the dogs are only afflicted
with epileptic fits; and if they were
cared for and watched, instead of be-
ing peremptorily killed, ninety-nine
out OF hundred of them would re-
cover, and the fear of hydrophobia be
dispelled. This was all known before,
but perhaps its repetition by M. Pas
teur will serve to give it more effect
with those wnom his incubation ex-
periments have lately blinded to the
plainest acts of science and expe-
rience.

BLIZZARD IN THE ROCKIES.
Passenger Trains Snow-Bound-RaiIwa
Travel Abandoned.

| A Denver dispatch of the 5th inst.
says: A storm of unusual violence
prevails in the mountains. The block
AIDES on the railroads are in Western
Kansas, where the storm is the worst
known for years. The signal service
officer here says the storm originated
! in the Rocky Mountains four days
ago, when the first frigid weather be-
gan. At the towns in Northern Colo
RADIO the thermometer varied from 90
to 80 degrees below zero. At Tennes-
see Pass, above Leadville, the mercury
indicated 33 degrees below. This in
tensely cold weather was accompanied
by high wind blowing from the north
The Kansas Pacific and Burlington &
Missouri River Roads are the worst
sufferers, traffic having been suspended
on them since Sunday. One train
stuck in drift near Brookville, Kas.,
has on board the "Michael Strogoff"
Company. All freight traffic has been
abandoned.
The worst phase of the storm is the
necessarily disastrous effect it will
have upon the cattle interest. 1t is
thought that the storm will cause q
high death-rate in Southern Colorado,
not because Of the snow particularly,
but because of the intensely cold
weather and the high winds. Along
the Arkansas valley the herds are
drifting to the river, and showing I'M
mistakable evidence of exposure and
fatigue. In the mountain valleys,
where thousands of cattle were lately
driven from the overstocked ranges of
the plains, the storm will prove to be
excessively severe. The larger portion
of these valleys are out of the reach of
telegraphic communication. In the
valleys heard from, especially in West
ern and Northern Colorado west of the
Continental divide, the snow is re-
ported to be unusually deep and the
streams frozen. The unparalleled cold
weather in Northern New Mexico will
cause great damage to the mammoth
herds grazing there. Hundreds of
snow shovelers, dozen snow plows,
and all the locomotives available,
have left Denver to battle with the
drifts on the railroads.

Inhumanity to Children.

A case OF the most inhuman treatment
came to the notice Of the police of Evans
vile, Ind, on the 9th. The dispatch says
Levi Farley and four children, the eldest of
whom is IL years and the youngest 4
months, live in the suburbs of the city in
an old tumbled down house, and have lived
from hand to mouth for some time, the
father being shiftless sort of person. This
morning neighbors discovered the four lit
tie ones in the house with no fire and
nothing to eat. They had but scanty cloth
ing, barely enough to cover the body, and
nearly frozen to death and starving when
sobbing bitterly, while the eldest
was vainly striving to comfort them.
They were taken to neighbours houses,
warmed, fed, and properly clothed.
The eldest child says the father left them
last Monday, promising to return soon, but
did not come back. The little supply OF
food on hand was soon consumed, and then
their sufferings began. The police were no.
titled of the matter and arrested the father
at downtown boarding where he
was comfortably housed. Heseems to carr
nothing for his offspring, and seems utterly
heartless. He was arrested a year ago on
the same charge, and promised to mend his
WAYS.

A Soldier Given q Months Hard Labor
for an Act of Kindness.
LONDON. Jan. THE Radical pa
pers are making a hubbub which prom
ises to prove effective, concerning a
disgraceful case of Justices justice
which has just transpired at the army
station of Aldershot. Ttappears that
the food left on the soldiers tables is
sold to contractor for pigs swill. A
couple of nights ago, while the rem
nants were being carried out to the
cart, Henry Smith, hungry laborer,
happened to pass along. His famish-
ing appearance excited the pity of a
soldier, who emptied into his pockets
the contents of one OF thep plates. But
it happened that Geo, Squares, provost
corporal of the medical staff corps,
had his eye on the scene, and scarcely
had the food found a. Judgment in the
starving laborer's pocket when the
soldier found himself under arrest for
larceny. In court the facts as given
above were sworn to by all concerned,
but although the provost corporal ad-
mitted that the value of the food was
not more than three pence or 6 cents,
the court, which was composed of
landowners and country gentlemen,
not only administered a severe repri-
mand to the prisoner and dilated upon
the wickedness of stealing, but actual
ly sentenced him to a months hard
labor in the common jail.

licitude, and her home is house OF
mourning. Like Mary OF Scotland or
Marie Antoinette, she would gladly lay
her head on the block, TO save herself

been heaped upon her. The rooster's

If the Indians of Alaska have any
of the enterprise peculiar to the no.
BILE red man, says the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat, we shall probably hear
more of the arms which are being
shipped to that country and sold
among them. The policy commonly
pursued with regard to the Indians is
to sell them all the arms and am
munition they need, then all the liquor
they can drink, maItreat them until
they break out into open hostility,
then send troops and spend money to
suppress an Indian rebellion. This
fashion is apparently to be followed in
Alaska.

A Singular Death.

Samuel Wardell, of Glove Road, Long
Island, died on the morning of the 31st
from injuries received in peculiar accident
several days previous. Wardell was an
exceptionally heavy sleeper. He rugged q
move. contrivance in the shape of a heavy
wei hit which he hung over his bed in such a
position that when it fell it would strike
the head board and awake him. This
weight was connected with the alarm clock,
and when it went off the weight would fall.
On Christmas night there was a gathering
in the house. When Wardell retired he did
not notice the position of the bed had been
changed slightly. The following morning
the weight struck Wardell on the head, in
flicting fatal injuries.

Great Damage a ,al and Railroad Prop
erry Sy Water.
Dispatches of the 9Th report the
damage from rain and high water as
much greater than previous advices
warranted. At Hazleton, Pa, the
damage to coal interests was very
great. Five of the collieries of A. Par
dee & Co., were completely drowned
out, throwing many men out of work
Twenty three mules were drowned, and
all the pumps are submerged The
Crystal Brook, Sugar Loaf, Audrien,
Honey Brook and Stocking slopes are
also flooded. The water again broke
in the Harleigh and Eherley mines,
which were recently flooded, and the
situation is now more serious than be-
fore. All the pumps are lost and the
water is rising rapidly. 1t is iDlpossi-
BILE to say what the losses will aggre-
gate, but it must necessarily be very
heavy. At Easton the Lehigh River
is sixteen feet high and the Susque-
hanna eighteen feet. Trains on the
railroads in the vicinity are delayed
by landslides and washouts. At Beth
lehem the iron works were compelled
to shut down. All trains of the Will
Transport & Canandaigua division of
the Northern Central Railway are
stopped, owing to bridges being swept
away by floods and the track being
washed out. Farmers along the rivers
lost heavily in cattle and hay The
floods in the Catskills about Rom
dout were the heaviest for years. A
number OF families on the flats were
imprisoned IN their houses, where they
could not be reached, owing to the
force OF the current. AT Pit. Deposit,
Md, the rapid rise in the river carried
away large amount of lumber. It is
estimated that over 100000 feet of
logs were carried off. No loss of life is
reported. At Kittanning, Pa, on the
Allegheny River, over $4,000 worth
OF Lumber was swept away. AtDubers
large part of the town was under
water and all trains have been delayed.
The damage cannot be estimated until
the water recedes.

An Entire Family Murdered.

The neighbors of Dr. Martin White, of
Battle Creek, Mich, noticed no one stirring
about his house, on the morning of the 9Th,
and after waiting a reasonable time, the
house was broken into. The entire family,
consisting of the doctor, his wife and two
children, were found dead, with thei.,
throats cut. 1t is believed they had been
dead for four or five days, as none of them
had been seen for that time. The theory
OF the crime most generally accepted is that
DR.. White, in an insane fit, killed the others
and then committed suicide

Over a Burning TrestIe.

The passenger train from Wilmington, n.
c., for Richmond and Washington, over the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad on the 4th
had perilous experience When near
Rocky Mount Station, in Virginia, the
engineer discovered burning trestle just
ahead of the train, and too near to enable
him to stop before reaching it. Taking a
desperate chance, he opened the throttle
and shot his train over the partially con.
sumed structure at sixty mile speed. The
passage was made in safety, but the sud-
den jerk put out the lights in the cars and
gave the passengers severe shaking.

A Railway Wreck.

During the snow-storm on the night of
the 8th inst, traffic on the railroads in the
vicinity of Wilmington, Del, was entirely
suspended. Early the next morning a train
on the Wilmington & Northern Road col
lided with two engines which had been sent
out with snow -plows. Both engines were
running rapidly, and the engineers were I'M
able to see ahead on account of the driving
snow. The engine on the train was driven
into the baggage-car, smashing it and also
the engine-cab. Three men were killed in
stantly, another is thought to be fatally
injured, and others were seriously bruised.

THE cholera in Europe, about which
little or nothing has been heard OF

odically comes and where it is endem-
ic. 1t is to be hoped it will go back

Company, at Birmingham, three miles from
Tyrone, were submerged and the occupants
we're obliged to seek shelter on the hills.
The flood was caused by heavy and con-
