house, most of them men Sunday they all
went to Hazelton and returned home

table. 1t exploded, scattering the oil about
the room and over the clothes Of the men.

too stupefed to escape, and, remaining in the
room, persisted in the flames. Five of the

totally consumed. Near by lay Panl Sissko-
WITT, his face and body burnt to a crisp, and
bruised and bleeding. These who escaped from
the house rushed wildly about in paroxysms

feringS They were removed to Silver

Mr.. James Ford, who resided near Easta-
baga, Ala, died from hydrophobia several
days ago. Mr.. Ford was bitten in the hand
by his yard dog about six months ago, and
at the same time three of his cattle were
bitten. Since then two of the cattle

Ford was taken with spasms about a week
before his death and grew worse. The spasms
increased as the disease developed. until there
was hardly moments intermission between
them.
Mr.. Ford was perfectly rational, and re-
quested those around him to confine his hands
and feet to prevent him from harming them.
He also asked the physician attending him
to use his corpse in any way he
pleased for the benefit Of science and the
profession. A few hours before the end he
became violent, and his barking and bowling
are described as terrible He frothed at the
mouth and gnawed his own hands in his

amounting to fully five per cent, and
it is general throughout the country,
though largest west Of the MiSsis-
sippi The aggregate exceeds thirteen mill
ions. The increase In mules averages b per
cent The increase in cattle is nearly PIX per
cent, corresponding closely with advances in
population. 1t makes the aggregate over
forty-nine millions, or 81 per 100 OF the pop
ulation- The increase IS nearly as large In
mich cows as in any other cattle.
In sheep the decline appears to be between
and 3 per cent, the aggregate of fOcks be
ing about forty-three and half millions.
There Is a smaller decline In numbers OF
swine, less than l per cent, leaving the az
gregate over fortyfou millions.
Prices of horses and mules are nearly the
same as last year, but both are lower than in
the year 1884, when the continuous advance
from 1877 eliminated. The average for all
ages is S11 81 for horses, and $19. IS for mules,
a decrease of SO cents and 81 cents. respec-
lively. From 1873 TO 1884 the annual esti-
mates OF prices OF mich cows and of other
cattle advanced yearly, and the decline has
since been uninterrupted, without exception
for other class Of stock. The fall in mich
cows has been from $26.0S to S24.65, over
per cent, and in - oxen and other cattle p"
from s19. 20 to $17.79, a decline of 10 per
cent in the last year.
