Gambling in stocks caused his ruin. The
bondsmen will make the deficiency good.

ty theater at st. Louis, Sunday, Frank
IIandemeyer, a worthless fellow. had a

pretty especially" woman with whom he

\ remarkable looseness in the keeping
of accounts has been discovered at Wash
ington in the office of the register of the
treasury and in the office of the third au-
ditor. In the former the register himself
would have seemed to be a defaulter to
the amount of $40. 900 and salaried clerk
to the amount of $3.50. 600. but for the
raking out of old vouchers which
changed the situation. The accounts in
the third auditors office, compared with
vouchers, show that the State of Indiana
is indebted to the United States S4G.123.
A man named Rudolph Hosburg of
| 139 Allen street. New York. was taken to
a police station Sunday barking and act
ing like dog. Hospital attendants. when
they arrived, found him running aimess-
| ly about the station-house biting his
clothes, swapping at the rungs of the
chairs and throwing himself on the floor
frothing at the mouth. They pronounce
ed it case of hydrophobia. The police
men tried to catch him, but he darted
about swapping and barking. 1t was
some time before the man was caught oft
his guard and bound hand and foot. His
barkings, as he was being taken to the
hospital, were so loud and so much like a
dog a to cause wonder among passers-
by. 1t took six men to hold him while
being fastened 10 the hospital couch. He
said he had been bitten by dog five
years ago but the wound is evidently not
over five months old. 1t is supposed he
is suffering from rabies, but his mother
says that he has had similar fits since he
was struck by brick on the head six
years ago.
