DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBlA.
James Angel Succumbs to Thai HOr'
rible Disease. Bitten by
Dog Months Before.

]. A. Angel, street commissioner OF
this city, died a violent death Satur-
day from rabies. In April last Mr..
Angel was bitten on the right hand
by vicious dog, belonging TO MIR.
McAnaily, at Rich Hill. The dog
was killed, but was not known to be
mad, but as a precautionary measure
Mr.. Angel had his arm cauterized,
and further than that paid no at
tention to the matter.
A maidstone owned at Nevada was
suggested to him, but be expressed
himself as having no faith in that
direction. He felt no i'll effects from
the wound after it healed until Mon
day a week ago, when an itching and
singing sensation in the hand caus-
ed him to become somewhat alarm
ed.
Hewas visiting in Eldorado Springs
at the time, and his uneasiness caus-
ed him to return home.
Friday afternoon he was seized
with light commissions which con-
tinued during the evening and night,
He craved water but the sight OF it
threw him into a spasm. A glass
was covered and an attempt made TO
feed him water through straw, but
this failed. Then a long rubber tube
was tried with the water hidden, but
this also failed.
So he gradually grew worse during
the night and by Saturday morning
became so violent, it required the COM
bine strength OF five or six men to re.
strain him. Even they were unable
to handle him, and it became neces-
sary to strap him to his bed.
When he was at his worst roth
spewed from his mouth and the
spasms he had were terrible to wit
ness. The doctors bled him short
time before death which apparently
gave him ease. The blood taken
from him was black and thick and
jellied almost as soon as it dropped
in the vessel.
Fridayevening, when not in convul-
sions, Mr.. Angel was perfectly ration
al and conversed freely and intelli-
gently with friends who called to see
i'm,
He realized his condition PERFECTLY
and to one friend, who drew back
when he extended his hand, he
said: "You need not be afraid, | am
all right now, but keep away when l
am in a convulsion.
On account of the heat the patient
was guarded in the yard during his
illness and a large number OF people
called to see him, some from friend
shipan Others perhaps through Gu
riosity to see IA mad man.
1t was a terrible sight to behold
and death was welcomed.
The funeral services were held at
the Christian church Sunday at 3
o'clock p. m, Elder Lotspeich OF
floating, and interment was made in
Oak Hill cemetery.

While gathering ferns short dis
lance north of town last Monday af-
ternoOn, Miss Gussie Hostetter was
bitten on the ankle by a copperhead
snake. Fortunately her uncle, Jos.
5. Linney, was with her and to his
promptness and presence OF mind,
she doubtless owes her escape frcdn
much suffering, il not death. H9dr-
ing Miss Gussie scream, he ran tt her
and discovering what had haplened,
he hastily removed her stocking, and
repairing to a small branch nearby,
tooka mouthful OF water and bye
ering the wound with his mouth sue
ceeded in drawing the virus, 80 that
swelling ives prevented. As soon as
they could reach town, a physician
was consulted and the usual remedies
administered. Aside from the effects
OF the counteracting poison the pa
tient experienced no unpleasant e.
fe,ts of the sting. 1t certainly was .
very close call for Miss Gussie.--

A Personal STATEMLNT.

We take pleasure in publishing the
following extract from the Methodist
Recorder. 1t is full explanation from
Rev. Jas. Cannon, Jr., of the occurrence
at Dallas, Texas, reference to which
was made editorially in the HERALD
last week:
regret exceedingly that it j. neces-
sary for me.to say anything about the
occurrence at the close OF the General
Conference. | declined to say anything
to the reporter there, and understood
that young Mr.. HOss and DR.. Hoss did
the same. But as reports have been
sent to the papers, and as these reports
are inaccurate, | make the following
statement of the facts as they occurred
to the best Of my knowledge and be.
lief:
Immediately after the benediction
was announced, and just as was
about to pick up my papers from the
chair, felt some one at my right hand.
and, turning, saw the young man.
whom | had understood to be Dr. Hos,'
son, standing by me. He held out to
me the front page Of the Southern
Methodist Recorder, dated May sth,
and said that he wanted an explanation
of that article. | said to him: "Young
man, have no explanation to make to
you Of that article" He said: "You
have printed my mothers name in
your paper, and demand an explana
ton" | said. Eyes your mothers
name is in the paper, but it is used IN
an entirely proper and respectful way" |
He said; "lou accuse my father Of
fasehood." | said: II shall not dis
cuss these matters with you" He said:
IL have been watching you for some
lime, and you have been writing about
my father and must stop it," said:
Young man, | have no idea Of dis
'ussing such matters with Won. II
here are any matters Of disagreement
'etween your father aud myself. | will
ak them over with him, but / shall

WHIT Is SUCCESS IN LEE,

Here is the answer of successful
man. John ID. Rockefeller says:
at Is a habit Of thought in business
that the man who gets the most mon.
ey Is the most successful, but though
he may get great sums of money hon
estly and legitimalely by his own eff
forts, that money il If no real Use to
hun unless he uses it in the right way
and he may achieve no real success
whatever
Money, power and place are circum-
stances more or less useful according to
how man uses them. Use your life
SO a to count for the most and have
the strongest influence on others for
goOd-that is success. What good we
have done will be what we will see
when we come to face the result of our
lives at death and that will be the way
We will measure our success in life.v

PROCLAIM.

10y vote al u 10 - the convention
has agreed to proclaim the Constitu-
ton just as they have made it, This
Is we'll and for the one good reason that
an overwhelming majority Of the white
people II Virginia desire it, aud that
Convention was never called together
To CRAFTY the wishes Of any other class
OF people in the State The regret is
that on 50 important a question lead
ing Democrats should have been so di-
vided, and that the closing speeches on
the subject, especially those Of the ad
vocates of submission, should have
been characterized 10y 50 much Of bit
terness.
Judge Robertson, Of Roanoke, was
less so than others We will name, and
yet lac said in substance that his
conscience revolted at proclamation,
when he must have known that his
brother Democrats Of the State with
great uuanmity approved 1t.
Mr.. Wysor boldly said that if his
constituency had instructed him he
would have defied them, and then for
two hours roared on the subject Of SOW
eIeiguty with this people He had the
bad taste TO charge that the preachers
in the Convention, Drs. Mcllwaine
and Dunnaway, by advocating procla-
nation, were lowering the standard Of
morals in the State, and the only ex-
PLANTATION we can give Of any such con-
duct We gathered from an anecdote he
told on himself during the delivery of
his witty but unwise speech. An old !
friend Of his once said: Joe is the |
smartest fellow | ever knew about |
some things, but the d-st fool ever
saw as to other things" In our opin-
ion he lost his good taste and good |
sense too, in making any sucn filings at
two of as pi0us men as live in the
Commonwealth.
