ERIE, Pa, March 3.-John Wilson, q
young farmer living near Erie, is a VIC
tim of hydrophobia. He lies in convul-
sions and the case is well marked.
Twenty-four years ago he was bitten
through the thumb by dog. A few
weeks ago he felt numbness in his
hand, and as soon as it had reached his
shoulder he was seized with rabies.
Neighbors held him fast with buckskin
covered hands. During lucid intervals
the poor fellow begs pitcously to be
smothered and put out of his misery.
He is a single man twenty-eight years
of age.

INDEBTED TO GHOULS,


ST. Louis, March 4.-The local press
is puzzled over the case of John j.
O'Connor, which is certainly most re-
martable one. 1t was claimed that he
had died and that his body was taken to
the mOrgue, whore it was identified by
his wife, who had him buried in Calvary
cemetery. A few days later it was
claimed that o. Connor was alive, that
his wife had been mistaken and that the
man who was taken to the grave was
not her husband. 1t now transpires that
there is every reason to believe that
OConnor was not buried by proxy, but
in his own proper person some time be-
tween the night of Monday, Feb
ruary 10, and the afternoon of Wednes.
day. OConnor was seen Saturday night
and stated most emphatically that the
grave in the cemetery is empty, and he
exhibited a cut which had been made
half way across the abdomen. lie is Of
the opinion that he was really buried,
and that his body was taken up and con-
veyed to a dissecting room while in a
state of suspended animation, and that
when the first incision was made it
cause flow of blood which restored him
to consciousness. He states that he
went to lodging house on Monday
evening and that he knew nothing moro
until Wednesday night, when he found
himself seated on the courthouse steps
in dazed condition, weak and sick.

Dick Hawes Hanged.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 1.-Hawes
was hanged here yesterday. Hawes lost
his air of cool, calm composure, and
Thursday night he spent the time in
reading the Bible and praying. His
prayers were most pathetic, and the con-
demned murderer seemed to be in an
agony of repentance, as if, for the first
time, realization of his horrible crimes
had come upon him. At 0 o'clock yester-
day Hawes' brother and six-year-old son
bade him goodby, and few minutes
later Colonel Talliferro, Hawes' counsel,
said farewell to his client. These part
ings were affecting in the extreme.

ruined. Notwithstanding these appli-
cations and protests the Governor has
