A MAN died in Washington yesterday
from what the doctors call tetanus or
lockjaw, which is only one ofthe symp-
toms of wounds of the tendons of the
hands or feet, caused, no matter how,
whether by rusty nail, piece OF
broken glass or dogs tooth. The pop.
ular, but entirely erroneous name OF
the disease is hydrophobia, and that
error seems to be ineradicsble. If the
man had allowed the wound time to
heal by rest, and not kept it constantly
irritated by using bis hand, he would,
in all probability. not have died of by
drophobia, "or rabies, and be driving
his wagon to-day.

THE NORFOLK ABDUCTION CASE

THE NORFOLK ABDUCTION CASE.
The second day Of the preliminary
examination of Guy Hall, VIM. Smith
aud Joseph Cannon, jr., for conspiring
against the chastity aud good name of
Mrs. Lillian Balm Cannon, the pretty
girl-wite of one of the prisoners, de-
veloped what appears to be conspir.
scy to destroy young wife's good
aame, so that her husband might be
released from his marriage vows.
When the case was called by Justice
Tomlin, in the police court, the room
vas crowded with spectators. All the
interested parties were present, the
young wife appearing wearied and ex-
hausted. In addition to the warrants
alleging abduction, others charging
conspiracy to debauch and seduce"
Caunon's wife were issued and accept
ed in court. The latter charge being a
misdemeanor, instead of felony, it
was taken up first, and the defendants
pleaded not guilty.
Mrs. Cannon's testimony showed
that she had been detained in the
boarding house where she was
.ound, against her will, but that
after she was enticed away from
Cannon's house she went there in
siead OF returning to her mother, who
had opposed her marriage. She stated
that her husband had persuaded her to
20 to Ocean View with his friend, Guy
Hall, who she thinks purposely arrang-
ed thatshe would miss the last train, and
have to remain there all night. When she
returned home she discovered that she
was not wanted at her husbands home.
It was then she went to the house of a
relative, and shortly afterward, being
notified by Hall that her husband would
not live with her longer, che went to
Mrs. Kings boarding house.
The evidence of Mr.. John Mariner, q
prominent business man, was of q high
ly sensational character. He declares
that Smith told him of the conspiracy
into which he had entered 30 that Can
uon could secure a divorce from his
bride of a week. The plan was to have
been consumated aboard the Baltimore
steamer, and Smith, who was to receive
500 for his par:, Mariner testified, said
that be had already received SIS from
Cannon. The case, which was adjourn
ed till to-day, has occssioned intense
excitement throughout the city.
