Florence Hashagen's Death from
Hydrophobia.

The death of little Florence Hashagen,
of No. 220 Avenue A, New York, from
hydrophobia, is q particularly sad affair,
although her death was not SO horribly
painful as is usual with this dreaded
disease. The girls mother died two
months ago, leaving the father to care for
eight children.
Florence was sent to the residence of
her uncle in Orange, N. J. A family who
lived in the house owned pet dog of the
Spitz variety.
Florence was bit by the dog on the
wrist about six weeks ago. She was inn
mediately taken to the Orange Hospital
and the wound was cauterized. The
neighbors killed the dog
1t was not thought that the animal was
mad then and nothing more was thought
of the matter, as the wound healed up
nicely.
Two weeks ago Florence came home.
On Wednesday she complained of feeling
a pain in her throat. On Thursday DR.
Vehslage, of No. 3l3 East Eighteenth
street, was called in and he pronounced
the case one of rabies. He treated her
with stramonium, but it did no good.
The little ones throat grew worse, and
Friday morning at two o'clock it was so
bad that the doctor was called again. He
found Florence suffering with the true
phobia cases. Her mouth was filed with
saliva and she talked incoherently.
About eleven o'clock in the forenoon the
girl died peacefully in her grandmothers
arms.
There were no commissions, and through
out her sickness she never refused her
medicine or water.
The doctor explains this by saying that
these symptoms do not appear until the
fourth or fifth day. The little one did
not last that long, and these horrible
symptoms were absent.
DR.. Vehslage has no doubt that it is a
case of hydrophopia.

A Queer Point in the Flack Case.
A curious complication in the Flack
case was brought to light by the move
ments of Coroner Levy yesterday. He
made call upon New York's District At
torney about eleven o'clock. His visit
caused considerable commotion, because
it brought to mind the fact that in GER
tain court proceedings Coroner is the
only county officer who can arrest a
Sheriff The reason is that the Sheriff
himself is at the head of the arrest de-
partment, and the law provides that in
certain cases where suit is brought
against the Sheriff the arrest proceedings
are delegated to the Coroner's office, as a
man could hardly be expected to arrest
himself.
1t was learned after Coroner LEWIS de-
parture that he had called to learn the
law on the subject. 1t is not probable,
however, that any arrest will be made
until the Grand Jury acts next Tuesday
The parties in the case are so well known
that with the aid of a few detectives they
can be kept in the city d few days longer
II they attempt to leave they can be
promptly arrested They are now under
a mild sort of surveillance It was said
Yesterday that sheriff F'lack had a force
OF experts at work ON his books prepar-
atory to his resignation.
Brooklyn Down ON Sunday Ball.
Sheriff Goldner, of Queens county, New
York, dropped very polite note to Presi-
dent Byrne, of the Brooklyn club Friday,
intimating that as objection had been
made to the playing Of the game scheduled

be well not 70 undertake TO play he
