In the face. Said Morris: II am a desperate
man; have no money; my family in New
orleans are in destitute circumstances, aud
must have money. You must indorsa A
check for $5000.' Mr.. Frayser agreed to ir-
dorse check for $5c2. The check was then
drawn on the Hlbernian National Bank of
New New Orleans, and Mr.. Frayser indorsed it

DIED OF hYpRoPHoBiA.
He Had Received the Pasteur Treat
ment and Heen Declared Cured.

f'Nfts asta GOOn SCNtotCa S0ISQs
ASHLAND, August 1.-THE son of Charles
Adams has died, it is supposed of hydro
phobia He was one Of the three children
of Mr. Adams treated at the Pasteur lnsti-
tute in New York city, on account Of being
bitten five weeks ago by a mad dog which
supposed they were all cured. They return
ed home from the institution the first of
August. The boy was five years of age.
This is the first death of a patient de-
clared cured by the Pasteur treatment, and
will be greatly discussed.
DR.. Plerce's notes tell the story of the
medical features of the case. On August
9Th the boy was afflicted with nausea and
slight fever. lie appeared to be stupid. On
FRIDAY nausea continued. He was chilly
and feyerish Dy turns. On Saturday morn
ing his temperature Vas 100 degrees and his
pulse was slightly above the normal. The
pupil OF his left eye was somewhat dilated.
Ihere was noticed constant twitching of
the angles OF the mouth, together with a
slight jerking of the fingers from spasmodic
action of the muscles of the forearms. This
twitching occurred at intervals of Is to 80
seconds The tongue wa, slightly coated,
but there was apparently no headache. By
and his stomach. refused to retain food Of
any kind. He had great difficulty in swal-
lowing water yet he could get some down
altar mighty effort. His eyes were some
times bright and glistening and at other
times they were dull and apathetic.
On Sunday morning he was much worse.
All the symptoms had increased in inten-
sity. The temperature was 100Ao ,, and the
pulse 130. The skin was pale and flushed in
turn: An eruption appeared on the chest
aud left cheek. 1t was somewhat of the ap-
pearance of nettle rash. For few minutes
they would be seen in full figure, and then
they would disappear entirely. leaving the
skin pale and dusky. This feature OF the
case continued until he died. AT times he
was very delrious, and then he would talk
nationally. He was quite restless, and
wanted to be moved at frequent intervals.
His skin was over-sensitive TO the touch. A
breeze would cause him to cry out. La the
36 hours preceding his death he became
greatly emaciated The hoy WAS very
thirsty, and would seize cup OF water with
great eagerness, but the attempt to drink
was invariably prevented by spasmodic
contraction of the throat.
Throughout the day thick phlegm col
lected in the throat and had to be removed
In order that he might breathe. He grew
weak very rapidly. and the throat filled with
mucus SO fast that it was Impossible to keep
the passage.

HoPKINs'S CHOICE.
To Fish for a Whale or Be Satisfied
With Trout.

DAN FRANCISCO, Cal, August 14.-When
timothy Hopkins arrived in this city on
tuesday night it was his purpose to pre-
ceed at once to Methuen. Mass, to contest
the probate Of his foster-mother's will. But
MS attorney got his ear and he looked over
MS mail. Disappointment awaited him
tnere. Only coldness characterized the letters,
both Of Searles and of Butler, Stillman 81
Hubbard. but Hopkins did not start East.
The question with Timothy Hopkins now
is whether he will go fishing for whale,
with a chance of losing everything, or be sat-
lsfied with creel of fine trout, which he
stands an excellent chance of catching. II
ne contests the will In Massachusetts he NAV
lose the entire estate. as his chances in Mass
acnusetts are not as good as here; but II he
Is content to contest its probate In Californ-
Ia MS chances OF winning his suit are much
peter than they would be In the Bay State,
tor here the people know him. Besides,
MS advisers believe they may reckon on the
support of public opinion.
Hopkins and his counsel are wrestling
WIN the law OF the case, and from a legal
point OF view it will be pretty case. Hop
Kins Will certainly contest the probat OF Il
VIII. That Is beyond question, and the only
tnlng to be considered IS where that contest
WIN be made. Had Hopkins proceeded d.
Iectly 10 Massachusetts, as was his original
intention, he would have been within the ju-
risdiction of the Massachusetts, court. Then
that coult would have had jurisdiction over
the entire estate and no contest could have
been made in California court because
whatever decision might be rendered by the
Massachusetts tribunal the California court
would be bound by the Federal Constitution,
which ordains that full faith and credit shall
be given in every state to the judicial pro-
ceedings in other states. The principle of
est0ppel, that matter once adjudged is for
ever settled, would bar hopkins out of tue
California tribunal.
Hopkins, who was the child of family
which came from Maine, was adopted by the
late Mrs. Searle. He had been handsomely
provided for during her lifetime. Should he
succeed in breaking the will, it would give
him chance at proportion of the estate
estimated to be as one to seven. This
amount may be $5,000,000.

FRONT STEPS GUT OFF.
WatsIville Citizens Find Sidewalks
Laid Out on Their Lawns.

WATERvILLE, August Waterville cit
izens have been rejoicing over the contemp-
lated concrete walks about town, some Of
which have been laid satisfactorily but
yesterday survey of the road was made
from below Reddington's store to the juction
of Main and College streets, and there is
some tall kicking because, as the walks are
surveyed, half of Mrs. Hanscomb's yard and
a corner Of her block will have to be taken
away, Mr.. G. w. Chase's fence will have to
retire from the scene as he will not have
ground enough to put one on, and W. M.
True will be obliged to dispense with sever
al Of his steps. w. L. Haines, Esq, is re-
tanned by the parties and all legal measures
will be taken to prevent this.
In times past, when land was worth but a
song, little attention was paid to boundary
lines, until many hadlencroached upon the
city property. When this section Of the
town was laid out, monuments were placed
at reasonable distances from the old Ticonic
Bank then situated just below the store
now occupied by Redington IL Co., IN a
straight line to the aforesaid junction OF
Main and College streets. These monuments
still remain, and 1t looks as II the city had
strong case. The fight OF the landowners
will be based ON the city's not needing this
widening Of street or sidewalk.

STARVING GERMANS CRY FOR BREAD.
So Great the Suffering, that Riots
May Follow Prisation.
Hollow Eyes and Wan Cheeks Tell Of
Hunger in England.
The Canadian Scandais-other For
eien Intelligence.

LONDON, August 14.-A Berlin despatch
says that the excitement is increasing in the
manufacturing districts over the high price
of bread, and workingmen are clamoriDg for
repeal of the corn duties. The Social Demo-
cratic party is proclaiming everywhere,
through its speeches, that. once in power, it
would sweep away all duties on food. In
Leipsic, clubs are being organized whose OBJ
ject is to secure the repeal of the corn duties
and multitudes OF workingmen are being
enrolled. The government is evidently dis
turbed by the situation, as 1t is feared that
riots may break out in some Of the districts
where the suffering is greatest, and
there is no doubt of the sympathy Of
the soldiers and even of many of the police,
with the nearly starving people In Greiz,
It Is said, family of four persons had been
found that had only one small loaf of rye
bread in three days to live en-. They were
out OF work, owing to Industrial depression,
and were ashamed to ask the authorities for
relief. Among those who do seek
relief painful cases are found. The
death of babe at Leipsic was
shown to have been caused by the moth
or having nothing to eat for many hours, and
the deaths of many gr0wn-up persons have
undoubtedly been hastened by the scarcity
OF food. The government, meantime, re-
mains obstinate as to maintaining the duty
on imported grain.

HYDROpHOBIA, OR pOSCIBLY FRIGHT.
Tho Case Which Is Puzzling the
Doctors In New York.
A Small Boy Who Thought He Had
the Dread Disease.
No Doubt About the Case From a
Massachusetts Town.

New YORK. Augusta 14-With foam
fecked lips Hugo Eitel, the dog-bitten boy,
lay upon his cot in the Presby terian
Hospital yesterday. Although he has shown
many symptoms of rabies, yet 1t has not
been positively determined that he is afflicted
with that terrible disease. The boys suffer-
ings were at times of the most excruciating
character. The sight of water or any other
fluid would thrown him into violent spasms,
and each one left him in more exhausted
condition.
Yet DR.. Fitzgerald of the hospital staff,
who on Wednesday diagnosed the case as
one of hydrophabia, is now inclined to be-
lieye that it may be, after all, only an ag-
gravated form of epilepsy, with which he
has been periodically afflicted.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon the
patient was sleeping, and that. the doctor
said, was good sign. Still, while he slept
the muscles of his face would twitch
nervously, ard he uttered sounds that
whole, however, the boy was better than on
the previous day.
Only once yesterday, while awake, did he
give any indications that he was q victim of
hydrophobia. Then he showed his teeth,
snarled and barked like dog. His tongue
protruded from his mouth and fr0th ap
peared upon his lips. For few moments he
was in paroxysm of pain. then he became
calmer and his eyelids closed in sleep.
DR.. Gibier yesterday said that he had not
Deen asked to examine the boy, and there
fore knew nothing about the case. He said,
however, that If hydrophobia was fully de-
veloped the Pasteur treatment would avail
nothing.
DR.. Hupp OF the hospital staff says the
ma.tiff that bit the boy has been killed, and
its brain is now in the hands of DIR. Hester
for examination.
The result of this will not be made known
for several days.
DIR. Hupp also thinks the boy Is an epilep-
ually frightened the little fellow into his
present condition.

which Is Now In the hands OF York
County Sneriffs.

BIDDEFoBD, August IA. = The seizure
made at the city liquor agency by Deputy
Sheriffs Goodwin and Small. who claim
that they found liquor nottagged as required
by law. Is the great topic of conversation on
the streets here. Counsel has been retained
by Agent Goodwin. and fight will be made
IL necessary. Before the ten days. which Is
the term Of the libel, expires. a claim In the
name Of the city will be made for the goods.
Then the points OF law will be debated.
Agent Goodwin claims that the reason
why most Of the liquor seized was not tagged
was that 1t had Just been removed from the
cases and that the excessively warm weather
would have soon caused the bottles to burst
mad they been left In the cases packed as
they were In straw. So seven cases Of ale
and wine were broken open, and the bottles
were placed on the counter In the rear room
and four cards were PLACED on the top Of the
bottles, he thinking that this would be plen-
ty Of security. One Of these fell down, an a
the sheriffs took all but IA bottles which
were under the three remaining cards Agent
Goodwin thinks the real Objec. OF their
search was to get several barrels OF whlskey
which the officers evidently thought would
not be tagged.
