DEATH FROM HYDRoPHoB1A.
A Negro Boy Dies From the Bite of a
Mad Fox.


CHARLESTON, 8. c., March 2a-Isaiah
Smith, negro boy Is years of age, died at
the hospital here on Friday last of hydro
phobia, brought on by the bite of a mad
fox, The hospital authorities were very
reticent about the matter, declining to give
any Information to the press. The body
as sent back to Monck's Corner, in the
vicinity of which the boy was bitten, and
from there the details of the tragedy were
learned. For more than two years past
there have been periodical frights in the
forests around this city caused by the
strange stories told by negroes about
MAD FOXES.
On several occasions authenticated cases
Of people being attacked have been pub
lished, but this is the first case in which
human being has been bitten by one Of the
mad foxes. and IS also the first fatal case
known to have occurred. The boy was at
tackled by a mad fox about a week ago
while going through the woods. He was
attended by a local physician at that place,
but the wound did not seem to heal aud
symptoms Of rabies made themselves mani
fest. The boy was accordingly brought to
Charleston and placed in the city hospital
for treatment.
MEDICAL TREATMENT OF NO AVAIL.
However, medical science was OF no
avail, ana soon 1t became apparent that
the patient was In the throes Of hydropho-
bia. He fingered for a little time aud died
from the effects Of the bite and there is no
doubt of his death resulting from hydro
| phobia The fright OF the negroes in that
section is reported to be very great and the
entire country is aroused. There is good
fox hunting in the immediate vicinity of
Charleston. and the huntsmen here are
somewhat puzzled. There is talk of organ
izing hunt with view of exterminating
the foxes from the face Of the country.

TARIFF BILL PLANS.

Free Wool to Be Voted On on April
22-The Other Tariff Bills.
WASHINGTON. March 2s-Ths Springer
free wool bill will be brought to vote on
April y or 90, unless there should be hitch
in the present programme Of the demo-
cratic majority of the ways and means
COMMITTEES, which has charge Of the measure.
Chairman Springer Of the committee is on
the programme TO close the debate in
an hours speech. Mr.. Springer
expects to be sufficiently improved
in health by that time TO fulfill the task.
The binding twine and cotton bagging
bills will then be pushed to vote as soon as
possible, TO be followed, perhaps, by other
specific bills attacking separate items Of the
Mckinley law.
AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
With these measures disposed of in the
House, and the appropriation bills In excel
lent shape, so far as the House is concerned.
the democratic majority OF the ways and
means committee believe that an early ad =.
journment Of congress is possible, and accord
inRly discussed the adjournment question
to some extent to-day. No conclusion was
reached, but the sentiment was favorable
- June 1 as the day Of final adjournment.
This is an unusually early date for adjourn
ment ana enere are many persons VINO be-
lieve the final ad djournment will be delayed
for many weeks after Decoration day; but
still the sentiment expressed by majority
of the members of the ways and means com
mittee is significant as showing what they
wish was believed as possible.
THE DUTY ON TIN PLATE.
The principal work of the majority of
the committee to-day, however, related to
the tinplate duty, which has been more
talked about than almost any other article
made dutiable by the Mckinley tariff act.
1t was decided that the tin plate schedule
should be the next subject of attack after
the three schedules OF wool and woolens,
binding twine and cotton bagRing, which
are covered by bills now before the House.
Several tin plate bills, including the Buut-
ing bill, were referred to Mr.. Shiveiy of
the committee, who called the matter up,
with direction TO draft measure for report
to the full committee and the House. MIR.
Shively is at work on a measure which will
differ In some respect from all of the bills
now before the committee. In substance it
will provide that from and after Dot.
next the tin plate duty shall be / cent per
pound until Oct. l. 1894 After that date
tin plate shall be duty Free A drawback is
also provided for upon the unsold stocks re-
naming on hand when the changes of this
bill take effect.

Rock for Roadmaking.

Engineers learned long ago that the
weight and hardness Of rock have no
bearing on its fitness for roadmaking,
and whatever doubt existed that the
same is true as to bailding stone was
dissipated by the Chicago fire. Very
heavy stone may be brittle. Slate
weighing IT'S pounds per cubic foot, and
pure mica weighing 1873 pounds, are OF
no value whatever for paving; and as to
building stone, it is shown that a minute
proportion of natural cement, possibly
less than per cent. and adding nothing
to the weight, makes all the difference
between the most tenacious stone and
that which crumbles like loaf sugar.
At present the tendency is to prefer
trap rock, and after that felcite and
granite for road making. In the last
