ECONOMY AND REFORM.
That Is Said to BE the Cause of DR.. Howard
Leaving the Insane Hospital.

There has been more trouble at the lpsene
Hospital with the superintendent. who, 1t seems.
has committed himself 20 the mercies OF Trustee
Harrison. The latter had IN idea there ought
to be economy and reform. and Superintendent
Galbraith began that policy BY request
ing the resignation Of DIR. Howard. State
Senator, and who was defeated recently
for denomination by the Democratic bre;hern.
During the last general Assembly DR.. Howard,
as Senator. was one OF the most stauch defend
era of the management of the Institution Har-
rison with him was . saint of high degree. but
last night, when he was asked the true
reason FOR he being requested 10 QUIZ the
hospital service. he said: 'Dr. Galoralth and
DR.. Harrison can give Il II they wish. i have
nothing more to cay. l am ont OF the hospital
and will net 20 back. have bad enough OF II.
and. IN truth. my sxperienee has been about as

But while the Doctor is r~etieient. IL 10 learned
that his leaving the institution carries with IL

the hospital. From another source IL comas
that DR.. Harrison alone notified superintendent

would no longer be pecessary- This WAS on Sat

against Superintendent Galbraith's sudden

Singular and Terrible Affection of Two Wa

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WABASH. July 27.-Mrs. John Flanagan and
her young sister-in-law. Miss Flanagan, resid-
ing a short distance from Dora, this county.
were about a week ago attacked by a strange
malady which now promises to terminate fatal
~. The ladies were, almost on the same day,
stricken down with a chill, and immediately be-
gan frothing at tbs mouth, attempting to bite
themselves and their friends who approached.
80 violent have they now become that it re-
qrIres tie efforts Of several persons to restrain
them when the convulsions are on. the unfor-
Inmates are perfectly rational, and fully realize
their condition. but say they are utterly unable
to control themselves while tho fits are on. The
a~i1icticn strongly resembles hydrophobia. but
neither OF the women nor their friends can re-
member OF having been bitten by a dog. In one
or the commissions yesterday Mrs. Flanagan
bit OF half her tongue. and To prevent her in-
nicting further injury her mouth has been tied
shut. The case thus far has com pletely bafhed
medical skill, and IL is the belief of the physi
clans OF The country round that neither will long
survive. The fact that both were stricken at
the same time Is regarded as ono of the most
mysterious phases of these sin gular cases.

THE STREET-RAILWAY MIDDLE.
Thile 1t Looks Well for ORe Side the Other
Talks About Obtaining Damages.

There were no new features in the street-rail-
way hgh: yesterday. The officers of the Dudley
company did no work. but the Citizens company
continued its track-lsying. 1t had over 800 men
at work all day. and when evening came there
was but little Of the territory claimed by the
Dudley people that had not been occupied. The
line around the Circle from Meridian TO Penusyl.
vania street was completed, and along stretch of
track was put down on the northern extension
OF tue new line. The tracks as proposed will
extend up Meridian. around the Circle
to Market; thence to Alabama, on Ala
oama to Home avenue, on Home to Central
avenue, and then north TO the fair grounds.
Unless there is some interruption it will reach
the grounds by this evening. When 1t is com.
pleted the track will belong TO the Citizens com
pany. except about two squares on Meridian
street. Ii Is understood that the Citizens COM
psny will seek to have the courts order the
Dudley people to remove the track they have
down, on thu ground that the opposing company,
having tracks down on more than nius-tenths of
the line are entitled to it. The PETITION of the
Citizens Company for an order permanently en-
joining the Dudley company from workine on
the line Will come up before Judge Taylor this
morning.
