A Mad Cats Bite.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. 2l.-A
special to the Times-Union from
Gainesville, Fla, says: MARY An,
derson died here today of hydrophob-
ia. The woman suffered untold ago
ny. The sight, or even the sugges-
ton of water, threw her into spasms.
The disease was contracted from the
bite of cat which on the 9th of
July inflicted wound on the wo,
mans hand so firmly that its jaws
had to be forced open in order to re-
lease her. DR.. Lancaster attended the
woman and dressed the wound and
thought that the wound was entirely
cured. On Sunday night the woman
began to experienced feeling of numb
ness of the muscles. She was de-
pressed, apprehensive and peevish.
Her skin was hot and the pulse ex-
tremely rapid. She rapidly grew
worse and yesterday spasms set in.
She has been unable to eat anything
whatever and one time she attempted
to drink water, but it was forced back
before it had entered her throat.
There is no doubt as to the nature OF
the disease, as the doctors of this city
have made it the subject of much
study during the past few months and
agreed that this was hydrophobia.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT.

Charleston, S. c., June 10Th 1891.
General H. L. Farley and Gentlemen
of the Commission.
Dear Sirs: The undersigned ap-
pointed to ascertain the cost of the
proposed monuments for South Caro-
lima troops on the battlefield of Chick
amauga, beg leave to report:
1t was proposed, merely as some ba-
sis of making an estimate, to erect the
following:
For Kershaw's Brigade-A monu-
ment the size and general design of
that now on the field and which most
of the commission saw and approved
to Battery I, Fourth United States Ar
tillery.
For the South Carolina Regiments
of Manigault.s Brigade, (Tenth and
Eighteenth South Carolin0; for the
South Carolina Regiments of Gist's
Brigade (Twenty-fourth South Caro-
lina), each similar monuments, but
smaller.
For Culpepper's Battery a similar
monument, but smaller still.
For all the South Carolina Regi-
ments ON Dyers Knoll a more impos-
ing monument.
If this last is of granite, thirty-five
feet high, eight square at the base, the
cost of the whole Zone large and four
smaller monuments erected at Chick
amauga, as per estimate copy ell
Lclosed( of Mr.. E. T. Welt, will be
So, 900. To erect them would cost for
for supervision and other incidental
expenses sly 1000, making the total
amount of the appropriation required
say $4,000.
The Chairman further interviewed
Mr.. Sires, who worked with Mr..
Werner on the Palmetto Tree now in
Columbia, and who is his business
successor. He thinks that $4,000
would be ample to duplicate this work,
if we could find suitable workman
to undertake it. Your committee
would, however, advised that this tree
was made of iron and the cost is for
such and it is not proof against the
ravages of time and they could nOtre-
commend the use of iron. We are adj
vised that a similar tree and base, in
bronze, an enduring material, would
probably cost $40, 900 to $25, 900. But
we have not been able to secure any
such estimate as would enable us to
state definitely the amountof this cost.
Weare agreed that if the Legislature
sees fit to appropriate sufficient means,
that no more fitting monument could
be erected to all the South Carolina
troops at Chickamauga than bronze
Palmetto tree.
Respectfully submitted,
G.. [. WALKER,

"The two amounts received from the

thereto. They have been so expended,
as will appear by the reports thereof
submitted to the Federal authorities
and to the Governor of the State, as re-
quired by law.
"The strain upon the resources of the
college, by reason of the great demand
for its privileges, has been and is still
enormous. The board of trustees feel
that they voice the sentiment of the
entire people of the State when they
say that this demand should be met
amply and to the fullest extent. The
necessities of the institution to this end
have been carefully considered, and
the following appropriations are asked
for with the assurance that every dol
lar asked for is actually needed and
necessary to the equipment and proper
conduct of the college.
1T is therefore respectfully request
ed that the Genral Assembly make an
appropriation of $35, 900 to further de-
ve1op and equip the institution.
1.-THE convict labor heretofore fur
nished by the State has proved invalu-
able both in the construction of build
ings and the development of the farm:
There still remains a large amount of
work on the farm to fit it for expert
mental and other purposes, which can
only be done economically by convict
labor. We therefore ask that at least
thirty-three convicts be furnished to
the college next year upon the same
terms as heretofore.
"In conclusion, the board desire to
assure the General Assembly and the
citizens of South Carolina that their
fixed and unalterable purpose is to
maintain the characteristic distinctions
of Clemson College, and we feel safe
in saying that in this purpose we will
be sustained by the President members
of the faculty and every official in the
college,

How the Democrats Lost 1t.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Frederick
G. Waite, formerly customs official ,
has figured out for the National Sta
tistical association that over 5000, 900
voters remained away from the polls
this fall and changed the political
complexion of the country. Mr..
Waite's analysis of the election re-
turns of New York in 1892, town by
town, shows that Republican farmers
then allowed the election to go by de-
fault. This year the Republicans
have not cast as large per cent OF
the full vote in a single state as in
1888. Hence, the only reasonable
conclusion, says Mr.. Waite, is that,
like the discontented Republicans in
1892, the discontented Democrats this
year joined the stay at home voters:
This stay at home vote has increased
in New York from 5000 in 1888, to
185, 900 in 1892, and to 425,000 this
year. In Pennsylvania it was 70, 900
in 1888, 23O, 900 in 1892, and 400, 900
this year. 1t has increased in Ohio
from 40, 900 in 1888 to 115.OOO in 1902
and 100000 this year. In Michigan
there were 240, 900 stay at homes this
wear, 10000 in 1888 and 105,0 in
1892. South Carolina, when she had
$4,000 less vo4ers than at present, cast
1S3, ,621 votes for Hayes and Tilden,
while this year her total vote is not
much over 60, 600, or about one fourth
of her full vote. Wisconsin has not
pollec for the Democratic candidates
so small vote for 25 years, nor has
the Democratic party in Pennsylvania
received so few votes in half a centu-
ry. Census and registration statistics
show this year the stay athome voters
numbered about 5, 100, 900. Add l 800,
600 -Populists, 5,3OO,OO Republicans
and the scattering vote, and there arc
over $4,000, 900 to place against the
4.2OO,OOO who voted the Democratic
ticket. Representative kirk, of Ohio
the Democrat who represents McKin-
ley's old district, said that the Demo
Gratis of Ohio laugh at their defeat, be,
cause they know that they caused it
by not voting, and that they will all
be i'm line again in 1896.
