DIED OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Genuine Case of the Disease Is Reported
from ShamOkin.

Shamokin, Pa, Dec. c--George
Shoey. jr.. aged 80 years, died this
morning from hydrophobia. Nine
months ago Shoey was bitten by n mad
dog but w to Saturday last he felt
no Ill effects from the wound. On Sat-
urday Mr. Shoey complained of feeling
nervous. As the hours passed his ner-
vousness increased and he paced the
floor In agony of restlessness. His wife
and two children did all they could to
soothe him. but he grew worse. He
complained that his flesh felt as though
1t was being pricked by needles. Tow
ards midnight he began to bark, snap
his teeth and froth at the mouth.
BY this time Mrs. Shoey had sum-
moned physician, who, with the aid
Of fourmen, tied Shoey down. The I'M
fortunate man rapidly grew worse and
went from paroxysm to paroxysm un-
til he died.

MACHINERY IN MOTION.
The House Organized without Ripple
of DiscOrd.

or DtScOrd.
Washington, Dec. 1.-The machinery
for the organization of the house Of
representatives worked today very sat
isfactorily and without the slight
est jar. Mr.. Reed, of Maine, in pur-
suance Of the unanimous decision of the
Republican caucus, was elected to the
speakership by a vote Of 234, as against
80 for Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia. the Demo-
cratic candidate; 6 for Mr.. Bell, Of
Colorado, the Populist candidate. and 1
for Mr.. Culberson, Of Texas, Democrat.
The six votes for the Populist candidate
were given by Messrs Baker, of Kan
sas; Howard, of Alabama; KEN, Of Ne
braska, and Schuford. Stanner and
Stroud. of North Carolina.
The one vote for Mr.. Culberson was
given by his colleague, Mr.. Crane
this being the only deviation from party
programmes. Mr.. Reeds speech, in
taking the chair. was brief and incisive.
He would not speak for the past. he
said; the past could speak for itself.
Nor should he speak for the future, as
they were not putting off the harness,
but putting it on. But he suggested
that those who had acted with wisdom
in the past might be fairly expected to
act with wisdom in the future. After
the oath of office had been adminis-
tered to the speaker and all the mem
bers. the next step in the Republican
Drogramme the election of the house
officers. was taken, and Messrs. Nc
Dowell, Of Pennsylvania; Russell, OF
Missouri; Glenn, of New York; McEl-
row of Ohio. and Conden, of Michigan,
were chosen as clerk. sergeant-at-arms,
doorkeeper. postmaster and chaplain.
respectively.
Tho rules of the Fifty-first congress
(popularly known as the Reed rules)
were adopted for the government of the
house in the present congress. after an
assurance from Mr.. Cannon (Republi-
can. lljnois). who had offered the reso-
lution. that they would hereafter be re-
ferred to the committee on rules and
that the house would nave an oppor-
tunity to discuss the report of the COM
mittee. That assurance seemed to sat
isfy Mr.. Crisp (Democrat, Georgia) who
had raised the question, and the mat
ter went through without further con-
tention.
After some further preliminary pro-
ceedings and a drawing for seats in the
usual manner, perhaps somewhat in
contravention of the anti-lottery law.
and in which drawing many of the
prizes fell to some Of the least known
of the members, and many Of the blanks
TO some Of the most distinguished, the
house at s35 y. m. adjourned until to-
morrow.
Democrstic Caucus.
Three hours were consumed by the
house Democrats in caucus this af-
ternoon. selecting the four officials Of
their party. which they are entitled
by their minority representation.

Indianapolis. Dec. III would never
pardon man who stole for himself"
said Governor Matthews today. "but
when 1t can be shown that a man
through misfortune is brought face to
face with want, and he steals in order
that his wife and children shall not go
hungry. will pardon him every time"
This statement was brought out by
recent criticisms of the governors ac-
tion in granting pardons, It being said
that he was too soft-hearted and parol-
ing too many prisoners. The governor
answered his critics in the foregoing
statement and added that he pardoned
but three classes-men drawn into
crime by accident, convicts known to be
dying of disease and men whom he be-
lieved have been wrongfully convicted.

BUR'S SHORTAGE S25,OOO.
German Building Associations Mourn tbs
De-Drsurc OF Their Secretary.

oSiibuh bUituiHs ASsOclati0nS Mourn the
De-orsurc OF Their Secretary.
Philadelphia, Dec 2.-The officials of
nine large German Building associa-
tions We're today stirred up over the re-
port that Lawrence Bur, who had act
ed as secretary for them, was away
from home, and that he was short about
$4,000. The peculiar part of the trans
action was that the knowledge of the
alleged shortage was first gained
through Mr.. Bur himself, who is said
to have made a statement to a lawyer
to the effect that he was short large
amount.
The nine associations involved are
said to have a membership aggregat-
ing between 5000 and 1900.
Mr.. Bur had the confidence Of every
one who knew him. About IS years of
age, he has always lived quietly and
was noted for his good habits, and was
thought to be doing a profitable BUSH
ness.

PROF. DYCHE's AMBITION.
He Desires to Mako Another Search foi
the North Pole.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 2.-Prof. Dy-
che, of the Kansas University said to-
day that he had practically decided to
make another trip to the Arctic ocean
in search Of the pole, having received an
offer of assistance. but he declines to
name the source of the offer. 1t is sup
posed that American museum, under
whose auspices he joined the Peary ex-
pedition, has something to do with the
offer.
The professor said the insufIiciency of
the food supply has been the sole cause
OF the failure of previous expeditions
and that given plenty to eat he will get
to the North Pole as easily as he got
within 500 miles of it. His present plan
is to creep around the west coast of
Greenland and then make q dash for the
pole by sledge or boat.

His eyeball had been SO badly lacerat-

attacked the brain. Hulen then became
delirious. and never regained con-

Miss Onri performs the most sensational feats on a tiny strand of swaying wire, among other things executing a ser pentine dance, which is the very height of sensationalsm. She also gives a splendid exhibition on the rolling globe. To support her MT. Poli has engaged a great company of sensational and com edy artists, including Totali and Abachi Baldwin and Daly, Tom and Lillie Eng fish, George and Della Dunbar, the Helena sisters, Gus and Frankie Daily and John and Lulu Deagan. Perform ance afternoon and evening, and ladies admitted to all parts of the house for ten cents.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The attraction the first three nights of this week is the famous Rentz-Santley Novelty and Burlesque company in one of the biggest and best programs they have ever presented in this city. Every thing is new and up-to-date. One of the most interesting items among the lively proceedings is an amusing bur latta entitled the ''Trill Be Club" which is striking parody and a satire on the ranging sensation of the legitimate "Trilby." Another fresh feature that will serve to grandly in. troduce the talent and beauty of this organization is the burlesque. "Robir Hood, jr.," replete with pretty anc shapely ladies, bright music, witty dia logue, Imaginable incidents, sensa tiona episodes, gorgeous costumes and othel conduciVes to an evening of pleasure A new series of living pictures" vii show the perfection of art in individua posing and grouping, and the splendid array of speciality artists who will takt part in the entertainment will includt such we'll known performers as Collin! and Collins, Edith LaMonte, Leslie anC Teneiey, May Ashhourne, Van Leer ant Barton, Lottie Elliott, Clara Simpson and others. 4Matinees Tuesday and Wed nesday.

 will present his new comedy, "A Gay
 Old Boy' this evening, The plot deals
 with a widower who can only inherit
 his deceased wfe's money on condition
 that he does not re-marry within two
 years after his wife's death. Unfortu-
 nately the old gentleman falls madly in
 love with a high kicking artiste from
 France, and he marries her, and the rest of the play is devoted to exploiting the efforts of the silly old man to con oeal the fact of his marriage. The bride is compelled to appear as a. chambermaid for the purpose of deceiv- ing her step-daughters, and the arrival of German physician who has known
 the lady in Paris, adds further compli- cations. MT, Hart as the victim. has a
 happy role, His supporting company in- cludes Carrie DeMar, the charming soubrette; Will H, Sloan, who plays the German physician, and Flora Irwin of the Irwin sisters. The play is very anus | ing, and the specialties are extremely good.
