Annual Recurrence of Hydrophobic
Spasms for Fourteen Years.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. S.--Ffteen
years ago this morning, while playing
on the street, John Allies was pounced
upon by u big dog. Before he could
escape the dog tore piece out of his
left leg just above the knee. The boy
was laid up several days with the
wound, but ii healed up finely and
nothing more was thought of it until a
year afterward to the day, when the
little fellow became sick. As the day
wore ON he became excitable and
feyerish, but could not bear the sight of
water.
At 4 o'clock, the hour of the day
when he had been bitten year before,
he was seized with a terrible spasm.
-Four strong men were required to hold
him, while he writhed and barked like
dog and foamed at the mouth. After
his strength had been exhausted lie be-
came Unconscious and was put in bed.
When lie awakened the trouble was
gone. The day, from the moment when
he was seized with the first attack, was
a blank to him, and he could not be-
lcve the story they told him OF his
actions In a day or two he was as well
rs ever
Every year afterward, at the same
time Of the year, at the same hour, he
has return of the frightful malady,
and each time he has fully recovered
within IL few days. AS he grew older
the attacks became more violent, and it
developed more and more, but otherwise
there was no change. He is now under
going the tortures of his fourteenth at
tack and II strong men were hardly
able to control him as he writhed in the
awful contortions produced by the
malady,

PROTECTION COULD NOT SAFE ~.
An "4American Tim Factory in Indiana
Sold Under IL Mechnnin,s Lien of SG2IS.

SOld lnuer Mechan1c's Lien OF @Slo.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Aug. 8.-The
Anderson tin-plate works, the first es-
tablishment of the kind in this country,
We're sold by the sheriff Of Madison
county, Saturday, to satisfy a judgment
on account of q mechanics lien OF S2lS.
The concern has been dipping imported
black plate for little over year, EN-
ploying four men three boys and five
girls. The product was used for cam
paign badges in the Mckinley Campbell
contest in Ohio last year.
The company anticipated a rich
harvest during the coming campaign in
this state, selling campaign tin buttons.
The scheme would have succeeded had
it not been for the tin-plate plant which
A. II. Conger, the well-known Ohio
politician and millionaire manufacturer,
established at Elwood, 10 miles from
Anderson. Conger secured the contract
from the Republican state committee to
furnish campaign tin. A week ago the
committee sent out peddlers to every
county in the state with small tin cups,
which are sold as American tin made
by the American tin-plate works of
Elwood, natural gas town which
Conger laid out and doomed, The result
of the Conger deal with the committee
was the collapse Of the Anderson plant
A number of other claims have been
filed against the company, aggregating
$4,000, among them being one by Henry
Whittemore, importer of block plate,
New York, for 800, and one by Daniel
Edwards of Swansea, Wales, for ma
chinery, $4,3l7. All the machinery,
the block plate, pig tin and oils were
imported, as were the four men EN-
ployed to dip the plates. The plant WIS
bid in by the carpenter who put up the
barn-like building where the dipping
was done for the amount of his claim.
For several months the Republican
press of the state has referred to the
Anderson tin-plate works as evidence
that we could make all our tin. The
owners of the mills, it is said, appealed
to Major Mckinley, but he never re-
piled. A member of the Republican
state committee said that the plant
would be redeemed and the works
would resume operations. 1t is under
stood that the committee will furnish
the money to put the plant on its feet.

The small steamer Refuge, building by
the Harlan & l0llingsworth Company for
the city of New York, was launched Sutur-
day morning, at l0.30o'clock. Owing to the
fact that no public announcement of the
launch had been made few spectators were
present. The boat glided gracefully from
the ways and while she was going over
board she was christened by Miss Edna
May, the young and interesting grand
daughter of Thomas johnson, the superin-
tendent Of the shipyard. The launch was
most successful. The Refuge will be com
pleted in about two weeks. She is intended
to carry people between New York city
and the house of correction on BacIiwell's
Island. In size and finish she resembles q
tugboat.
