HAS HYDROPHOBIA.
Little Italian Boy of Electric Alley
Suffering the Awful Disease.

Emilio Mancusco, little italian boy
three years of age, is suffering with a
well developed case of hydrophobia
and while alive at a late hour last
night it is feared he cannot survive
long. The boys parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Luigi Mancusco, live at No. 2 Electric
alley, the former being a cheese maxi
er. About five weeks ago Emilio, who
had been left alone for a moment, came
running to his parents and said that
he had been bitten by dog.
The wound was inflicted just below
the knee on the right leg. It. was
dressed and the parents thought little
about 1t, although the child has COM
planned from time to time that the
member panied him. Monday the child
became feverish- 1t grew worse rapid
ly and DR.. Bailey was called yesterday.
The symptoms indicated hydrophobia
and the doctor at once questioned the
parents to learn if the child had been
bitten. They had almost forgotten the
incident which they had not connected
with the present illness.
The little fellow suffered intense
lowed by convulsions which racked his
pain. He was unable to drink, the
attempt to swallow water being fol-
frame,

AFTER THE PLUMS.
Elections viii soon Occur for Clerk
of Common Council, Sanitary Po-
iiceman and Secretary of the Health
Board.


iiceman and Secretary of the Health
Board.
On the first Monday in April elections
will be held for clerk of the common
council sanitary policeman and secre-
tary Of the health board. These offices
which yield a few dollars to the holders
are sharply contested for each year
about this time.
The board Of health which was or
ganized in 1s9O-if select council con-
firms Mayor O'Neill's recent appoint
ments-be Democratic for the first
time. For nearly eight years NJ. F.
Barrett, formerly chief Of police of the
city, has ably performed the duties OF
sanitary policeman. A share of the
credit for the excellent sanitary con-
ditlon which Carbondale now enjoys
is due him.
Hon. S. 5. Jones, who was largely In
strumental in organizing the board, was
its secretary for more than five years.
embracing the period during which
most opposition to the work was man
ifested. He held the place until a
state law made the office incompatible
with that Of alderman.
His successor is the present secre-
tary. c. r. Mum, who will conclude
his second term on the first of April.
However, on the ground that to the
victors belong the spoils, the Demo-
Gratis intend electing new officers at
the annual meeting. 1t is understood
that Thomas Missett will be the sam
itary policeman and j. p. Collins has
had his son, Frank, slated for the Sec
retaryshp since he became a member
of the board.
AS the office does not pay enough to
warrant the hourly presence of a sec
retary at the municipal building, it is
probable the permit books will he kept
at Mr.. Collins cigar mandatory,
which is conveniently situated on Sa-
lem avenue.
AS to the office of clerk Of the COM
mon council, the incumbent, George
Evans, is a candidate for reelection.
His is the only name which has yet
been mentioned in connection with the
place.
That office is worth about $50 year.
The sanitary policeman gets $500 annu-
ally, and the secretary of the board
of health $500.
Many more aspirants are likely to
spring up between now and April 1.
