WOMAN EATEN BY RATS,

While Lying Helpless on Sick-Bed ana
Her Worthless Husband Too Lazy to Pro-
tect Her.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., Feb. 11.-One OF the
most horrible cases that the police of this
city have ever known came before them on
Friday night, when they were called by
the residents of Webster street to No. 81
on that thoroughfare. In hovel at that
number resides Julia Mahan, aged fifty
six years, and her hus band, John, a man
who, it is said, lived from his wife's earn
ings for long time. Mrs Mahan was
stricken with paralysis about four weeks
ago, and has been lying helpless
since and q, deserted. The police,
who went to Mrs. Mahan's bed
side, found that the place was infested
with ravenous rats, and that they swarmed
in the sick woman's bed. Her nose and
cheeks had been eaten away, and the jaw
bono was left bare. When the meager
covering of the bed was raised dozen rats
came out from under it, and then it was
found that the sick woman's limbs had
also been eaten. The flesh was gnawed
from the thighs, and the woman had been
for hours helpless to drive away the ro-
dents. Capain Egan sent Mrs. Coughlin
to care for the woman last night This
morning lighted candle was left in the
room, and in ten minutes it was carried Oil
by the rats. Mrs Mahan is dying.

Kill All Dogs.
WHEELING, w. VA, Feb. 9.-The greatest
excitement prevails among the farmers
throughout region covering about ten
square miles in Wetzel County, the cause
being the discovery that there are from
eight to dozen dogs afflicted with rabies
within the territory named running
wild through the woods and over the
fields For month past live
stock on mum erous farms has been found
dead and hogs and cattle observed to
be suffering from what was thought to be
fits, but the cause was not suspected until
Yesterday, when it was ascertained that
number of horses, cattle and hogs had
been bitten by mad dogs and that two
children, Morgan by name. had shared in
the same fate. The disease is supposed to
have originated in the county late last fall
and to have spread since. There is tho
greatest anxiety for the Morgan children,
as the dog which wounded them has since
died and another dog bitten by it before
death has gone mad. The farmers Will
inaugurate general raid and kill all dogs
for q dozen miles around in the hope OF
stamping out the disease In Marshall
County, adjoining Wetzel, Mrs. Mary
Smith, aged seventy, is lying at the point
of death from wounds inflicted by dog
suDposed to be mad.

Haytian Butchery.

New York, Feb. THE following re.
port of "victory" was received from
Hayti:
ST. MARC, HAyTI, Jan. 2a-General
Hippolyte has just gained a great victory.
1t is the most important battle which has
been fought in the civil war in Hayti.
Battle" by the way, is rather n mis-
leading word in the present in
stance, for when three hundred men
are caught like rats in trap, with
their retreat intercepted, and they are
then surrounded and shot down at leisure,
with barbarous cruelty, no quarter being
shown, no prisoners taken, and every liv-
ing soul put to death, "butchery" seems to
be the proper Characterization of the hor-
ror. That was the scene witnessed yester-
day at the little seaport town of Grande-
seleine about twenty five miles from here,
where a detachment of Legitme's army
was completely annihilated.
