from Virginia to fall by the wayside
they being unable to connect success
fully with the sphere. and but for the

festations before death. The autopsy,
he said, revealed diseased condition
OF the brain, but other diseases of the
brain, he said. would leave a very
similar result. There were so many
alleged cases of rabies, the doctor said.
that he intended in this particular case
to make an investigation and settle the
question beyond all doubt Portions of
the brain and spine will be used in. the
examination and the result will be
given to the profession and the public
when completed. So far as he could
judge there was nothing to indicate
that death resulted from hydrophobia
more than anything else. There were
several changes in the brain of the
child which were not characteristic Of
hydrophobia. The experiments and in
vestigations to be made with the
microscope and animals would, the
doctor said. take several weeks.

in good health and so far have not ex-
hibited any symptoms of the disease.

IooP COMES Up TONIGHT.
Assembly VIII Consider the. Much.
Mooted Change.

The ordinance directing the street
railway company to extend its loop to
Broadway, which the board Of aldermen
passed week ago last night. will come
before the assembly at its regular meet
ing tonight Ordinarily the assembly
would promptly and without word of
discussion, refer the measure to its
committee on streets. At least that has
been customary practice with the as
sembly in the case Of every important
ordinance or resolution whether the
same has been passed by the board of
aldermen or originally introduced in
the assembly But there Is a we'll
founded report in circulation to the
effect that the assembly will vote on
the ordinance tonight. At any rate,
President Arosin has notified the Rob
ert and Sixth street business men to
be present tonight when the assembly
will hear their objections to the ex7
tension of the loop.
When the board of aldermen passed
the ordinance, not a single representa-
tive of the retail interests was pres
ent, as the retailers were not aware
that an adjourned meeting of the board
was to take place on that Wednesday
night. But the jobbers and nanufact-
urers who want the Broadway loop,
were on hand in. large numbers to Ell
courage the board. The Robert street
business men had attended the riotous
meeting Of the aldermanic committee
on streets the same afternoon, but
nGne Of the committee took the pains
to inform them that the board would
meet in the evening and consider the
report of the committee. Were it not
for this somewhat peculiar oversight,
the vote on the ordinance might have
resulted differently. AS it was it stood
10 to 1 in favor Of the ordinance, but
two or three of the aldermen who voted
in the affirmative, declared that they
did so in the absence of any objections,
or the statement of any reasons why
the ordinance should not be passed.
The only knowledge the aldermen, aside
from the members of the committee
on. streets, possessed of the arguments
of the directors to the ordinance, was
conveyed to the board by AID Bige-
low, who, in reciting what had taken
place at the committee meeting, did not
quote the arguments of the retail mer-
chants as fully and forcibly as they
were advanced by the merchants them
selves.
1T required two-thirds vote-that
is eight votes-of the board Of alder
men to pass the ordinance. Six votes
are needed in the assembly tonight.
What effect the arguments of the Rob-
ert and Sixth street business men will
exert upon the assembly when deliver
ed by the gentlemen themselves and
not related by one in sympathy with
the other side, remains to be seen.
