Peru.
PANAMA, March 5.-Chancc has led to
the discovery Of a cure for hydrophobia.
In Ayacutho, Peru, man was bitten by
a mad dog and shortly after the dreaded
disease developed, In his madness the
man rushed from the house, and falling
among a lot OF "peucap plants some OF
the Juice OF these plants entered his
mouth and he swallowed 1t. A moment
Of reason seems to have followed, during
which he seized some OF the leaves,
broke them and drank Of the milky and
glutinous sap with which they are gen.
orally saturated. When bis friends
found him he was senseless with the
"peuca" or "makney" leaves clutched
In s.hands. He was carried 10 his home
and soon regained his health. Expert.
ence has long since taught the Indians
that "peuCa" Juice or sap invariably acts
as cure upon dogs suffering from by.

Attorney General Webster narrated the

cided that the fact that the Irish World
had raised money for the Irish cause
did not make the recipient OF the money
responsible for the articles in the paper,
but 1t was an important link in the evi.
dence referring to the distribution Of
newspapers melting to outrage. He
said that the evidence proved that dur.
ing 1850 and 1881, copies OF the Irish
World were sent either directly or in
directly from the Dublin League offices
and were found in possession OF League
officials. Evidence on this point was
admissible, The court assented to Mr..
Dillon going to Australia for his health.
Attorney General Webster resumed
the reading OF articles from the Irish
World referring to Mr.. Davitt's action In
connection with the Home Rule move

Mr.. Dillon urging the destruction ofthe
police who were engaged in protecting

PITTsBURG, TUESDAY. OCT. q, lSS
TREAT ALL ALIKE.

The ordinance introduced into Councils
last evening looking toward taking down
the overhead electric wires OF the Pleasant
Valley Railway is so manifestly aimed at a
single corporation, and goes so far in the di-
rection of making flesh of some electric
companies and fowl OF another, that we do
not think Councils can afford to pass it in
its present shape. The only way to rid the
streets of the overhead wires is to treat all
corporations alike.
There is probably little room for doubt
that the electric railways structures add
something to the danger, and great deal
to the obstruction, of our streets, from the
overhead wire nuisance. THE DISPATCH
has clearly and consistently urged that ell
such wires be put underground; and
an ordinance tor that purpose will
receive its hearty support But the
passenger railway company is not the only,
or the chief offender in this respect. Arc
light wires are strung all over the city. A
net work of telegraph and telephone wires
oostruct the streets; and immense masts dis
figure the city. As regards tension the rail-
ways wires are no more dangerous than
those of the light companies, while as re-
CARDS obstruction and Disagreement their
iron poles are superior to the ugly masts
which other corporations have planted ey-
erywhere.
If the ordinance should provide that all
electric wires must go underground, the
Pleasant Valley company will have no
ground for complaint. Or, if Councils can
not go that length in facing the united cor
porstions, let it make the ordinance refer to
all wires bearing an electric current exceed
ing two or three hundred volts. Such pro-
visions will be just and impartial, but this
measure is not.
To shut out this single company and leave
all the others untouched, is to permit the
danger to go practically unabated and to
subject the business in which the different
companies are engaged, to the grossest
fsvoritism.

THE TRUE STAND.

The avowal and repetition by President
Roberts of the views credited to him in his
speech at the Pittsburg Club, last week,
leaves no room for doubt either as to the
fact of the speech or the declaration of the
President of the Pennsylvania Railroad
that he is opposed to pooling; that he be-
lieves In competition, and that he recognizes
the right of Pittsburg with other trade cen-
tiers to competing roads.
While the surprise of such a speech from
such a source naturally gave rise to some
doubts, it is pleasant to give full recogni-
tion to Mr.. Roberts declarations, because
the principles which he states are funda-
mentally and essentially correct. 1t is
true that the legitimate interests of the
Pennsylvania Railroad require no support
from pools or trusts. 1t is true that it need
not fear the destruction of its property by
competing lines. 1t would have been more
prosperous to- day ii it had refused to be
dragooned into the railway combination
which built up the Standard Oil Company;
and every competing line, that comes into
Western Pennsylvania at least, brings its
own recompense to the Pennsylvania Rail-
road by the increased business resulting
from the property which they produce.
1t is well that President Roberts has
recognized and declared these principles.
We hope that he will not have to be re-
minded of them when the business interests
OF Pennsylvania next undertake to build
legitimate railway through the State.

THE SPECULATIVE SQUEEZE

The tumble in the New York stock mar
ket, yesterday, was nothing more than
large-sized and significant demonstration of
the old proverb that what goes up must
come down." Talk about tight money and
unfavorsble conditions of business is heard
as giving the proxiInate causes; but the
tight money was simply due to the demand
for funds to carry big speculations, and the
cut rates of q Western road would not break
the market if it had not been boosted on the
apparent presumption that everything was
going to be favorable for stocks, now and
forever. The decline is the inevitable and
legitimate result of speculative ballooning.
The ballooning has not been very aggravated
and the decline will not, therefore, be very
severe. The largest degree of imitation has
been in the trust business, and the trust
certificates are, consequently, the leaders in
the tumble. Legitimate trade and industry
which have kept on sound and conserva-
tive basis, need not fear that they will be
drawn into these purely speculative COM
plications.

CONVINCING TESTIMONY.

1t is rather pleasant in these times when
the suspicion of scandal-and frequently
so much more than suspicion-is general
with regard TO the leaders in politics both
of this republic and of France, to read of
the testimony by an authority like Emile
Zola, to the irreproachablllty Of President
Carnot. In an interview on French politics
he says of the President: "Not a single mud
splash has reached his faultless overcoat.''
This testimony is more convincing from
the undoubted talent and disposition of
Zola, if there were any mud splashes, to de.
tect and pointthem ou. The apostle of gutter
realism would not be likely to spare the
French President for the sake OF convention
slIties or out of respect to his high position.
When Zola says Carnot is immaculate we
can feel for the pang with which he bears
testimony to the fact; but we can also re-
joice in the purity of the French President
as beyond question.

THERE SHOULD BE ROOM ENOUGH.

The statement was published yesterday
that there is quite rush for space in the
Industrial Exposition to be made on the
visit of the Pan-American delegates here,
and that some of the manufacturers who
had failed to make exhibits at the regular
exhibition just closed will find themselves
left on the outside at the coming show. 1t
is certainly to be hoped that this occasion
will impress on all Pittsburg firms the i'm
portance of making the regular Exposition
full exponent of P'ttsburg industries; but
there is no apparent reason why the useful
ness Of the coming exhibition should be re-
stricted. There are two large buildings, one of
which will be entirely vacant by the end of
the week. If the exhibit can be made to fill
the main building, as well as the machinery
building, it will be so much the better for
the exhibitors, for the Exposition and for
Pittsburg,

NoRR1sTowN, October 2L-Fully 10000 visit
ors were in town to-day, and about 5000 fol-
lowed the remains of the late General Har-
tranft to the grave. The burial services of the
Episcopal Church were read by the Rev. DR..
Davidson, of Philadelphia. The other services
were under the auspices Of the Presbyterian
Church. At IL o'clock the body was taken to
the Court House and lay in state until o'clock.

sisted by Rev, DR.. Bieber, of Norrlstown con-
Quoted the services in the Court House, as
well as in the cemetery. In addition to the re-
ligious and military services the Knights
Templar performed the ceremonies of their
order over the grave.
The procession formed at 8 o'clock, headed
by the First Brigade Band. Then came General
Snowden and staff, with military escort. On
either side of the caisson marched the pail
bearers ex-President Hayes, Commander Of the

cessful; but it is calculated to provoke 8
number Of reflections which are less COM
plimentary to the Democrats than those en-
thusiastic Jacksonians mightha expected.
1t must be conceded that the tame bear
method of breaking up Republican meet
ings is much more genial and good humored
method than the regulation Southern
way of doing it with shotguns and
revolvers. In that light it
is to be recognized as an advance; but still it
leaves great deal of room for improvement
However sophistical Mr.. Burrows argu-
ments on the subjects of tariffs or the Vir-
ginis debt may have been, it was hardly q
complete refutation of them to make bear
climb a tree; and whatever attack on the
cherished institutions of the South may be
involved in the success of the party he sup
ports, we fail to see that their Nervousness is
exposed by making the bear get up on his
hind legs and growl.
In fact, however good the joke may seem
to ardent Democrats of the ursine stamp, per
hsps intelligent people may think that the
joke is the other way, when Virginia Demo-
Gratis themselves reduce their politics to the
level of fbear-dancing.

THE AMERICAN TOWER.

The plan for a tower to surpass in loiti-
ness the Eiffel structure at Paris, and which
is intended to be leading feature for the
Exposition at Washington, forms an inter-
esting item in to-day's DISPATCH. A
structure 1900 feet high, with an audi
torium seating $4,000 people at its base.
would possess attractions of its own that
would relieve it from the charge of being a
copy of NJ. Eifel's work. Indeed, as The
DISPATCH has pointed out heretofore, the
famous Partisan structure was only an en-
largement of the tower at the Philadelphia
Centennial, as Mr.. Kinkel's structure would
be an enlargement on the latter. The prin-
cipal objection to Columbus tower like
this at Washington, would be that it would
overtop the monument to Washington.
