consequence, except or cash transactions for
current needs, which are necessarily limited.
Many cotton mills will be idle next week,

For the first time this year, shipments OF

Laughs When Physician Tells Him
End Would Come Within
Twenty-FOur Houra. e.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Although Conrad
Steingruber laughed at the Christ hospital
physicians in Jersey City, who said that
he would die in twenty-four hours from
the effects of a bite from a dog, the
prophecy was fulfilled today. %Stelngruber
said he was a disbeliever in h~ydrophobia,
and that he, would be around again in a
few days. He rapidly grew worse, how
ever. He remained conscious until the end,
and almost the last words he spoke were
that he would get well. Steingruber was
bitten by a dog a little over, three weeks
ago, but paid no attention to the bite. and
when warned by his wife that he might
develop rabies, he merely laughed at her,
laying h~ydrophobia had no terrors for him.
On Monday last he began to show signs
OF rabies and consulted a physician. On
Wednesday he called at the hospital, and
when offered a glass Of water he was taken
with a spasm. From that time until he died
his suffering was Intense.
