ARHORRIBLE DEATH. MR. MORTON DIES OF A GENUINE CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA. The Detalls of the Horror-Panted Like it Dog-Conscious to the Last--Kuw ilii Condition-ttianarkablo Case. CoLUmBIA, S. C., October 26.--3itten more thau threa months ago by a mad dog, discharged as cured from the cele brated Pasteur Institute, New York, after a thorough treatme Lt g Si nce without y signs of his im te, Mr. Robert 1). Morton, e well known and popuilar engineer of the Richmond and- Danville railroad, died yesterday mormng in exactly twenty-eight hours after the first symp toms appeared, suffering all the agony attached to that fearful malady, hydro phobia. The State yesterday morning, as us ual, gave the public first facts concern ing the illness of Mr. Morton and the fear of the physician that it was a gen uine case of hydrophobia. liardly had the people of the city recovered from the shock of the information when the announcement was made that the tin fortunate sufferer was dead, having breathed his last at 6.30 a. m. During yesterday the State represen tative called at the residence and ob tained all the facts. The very first symptoms appeared while Mr. Morton was on his engine in the Columbia and Greenville railroad yard. IIe felt a sudden pain in the arm which had been bitten, and a sickness at the stomach. This was oil Friday night last. lie went home, and after his arm had been rubbed down by his wife, the pain went into his left side, where he had been inoculated. IIe grew worse and at2 o'clock Friday morning Dr. llowe was called to attend him. When the physician first saw him ho stated that the symptoms were of hydropiobia. The physician was unremitting in his attention, and did all in medical power to quiet the patient. On Satur day morning the unfortunate man be gan to pant like a (log which had run a long distance, and white froth fell from his lips. This continued all day. Mr. Morton, still retaining his senses, however, was in a high state of excite ment. As night came on he quieted down somewhat, but seemed iniuch weaker. Thu&his condition remained until about ten o'clock. At that time Mr Morton complained of being cold, and was suffering intern al agony, saying his sides, where lie had been inoculated, were in fearful pain. Later lie complained of heing warm. Ile refused to take any liquid, and the froth which came from his miouth, like that of a mad dog, turned green in color. At times he would draw himself up and raise his body on all I'mirs, but as soon as spoken to would again lie down, the incessant panting contini Ing meanlwhile. With all this he retained woierfful self-control, and calling Messrs. Nle Dougal and Shuinbert, who were watch ing with him, to his bf-dsidt, inlf'oritd them of certain papers he hail, which, ifr attended to, woulli provide lor his 1'ai ily, and asked theim to see that, every thing was attended to. lie rvaliz't that his end was near and told his brother, when he lett him for awhile, that if he wished to see hiin ahiye tie had bettr hasten back. 1-'neds t"id him that it w as inerely a billi. ws at tack, he said he knew betfter. D)r. ll'owe was ith M1r. Alortoin all Saturday night, and did every thing lie could to qluiet the sick mian. le had I just dispatched a muessengi~er for l)r. '.aylor, asking for a consult :ion wheno, in ftearful agony, Mlr. Alorton hi enthed his last. AiMr. Morton retained his senses to t lhe last, by the exerei.,e of inidommitable will. iIe could recognize all comners to thle last. All the time, however, lie woul piteously beg everyone not to touch him, evidently being fearf-ul of the harm he might do them. Ile wou hi niot eveni let his wife come near. The wounds (lid not open afresh, and all the pain seemed to he in his sides. ie told his attendhants t hat he did not want them to thinik he was miad; that he knew what was coming. and had fought against it as long as he could. The brother of Mir. Mlorton said that since his retturn from the Institute lhe has had btit little signs of illness. Once, about three weeks after his return, lie complained that his hat was too heavy andl hurt his head. T1huis caused huim to stay at home a few days. This brother says 'that Mr. Mlorton told him recently'that wvhile in Newv York he had two or three times, awak ened at night to rind himself trying to bite his half-brother, with whom lie was sleeping. Mr. Morton was bitten by a large (log on the 6th day of August last, the anii mal knocking him down and lacerating his arm. Immediately iniadstones were applied to the wotunds and wvorked ap arently successfully. At once the rotherhood of Locomotive E'ngineers raised the necessary amnount of money and Mr. Morton was sent to the P'as teur Institute in New York. le was there within twenty-live hours alter lie was bitten. The Institute charged $223, and guar anteed a cure. Mr. Morton remained there fifteen (lays, recei vinug i noculIa tions in his sides twice a (lay. (On the nineteenth day lie was discharged and told that the wound would niever' trou le him again. Tihe family severely condenm the treatment and it is stated that the Brotherhood will do likeise. Mr. Morton was insured for 81,500) ini an accident company anid for the same amount in the Brotherhood of Lo'oiiio tive Engineets. The ]Brotherhood yesterday aft ernoon took charge of arrangeuiients of the funeral, which wvill take place at, 10:30) o'clock this morning at the Unrhiam ville Chapel, outside the city limits, the R1ev.

The Brotherhood will meet aain this morning at 9i o'clock, Dr. howe signed a certilicate that Mr. Morton's death resulted trout hy. drophobia. When seen, D)r. hlowe said it was undoubtedly a case of hydropho bia. lie realized that when he saw the patient Saturday night. lie thoumght excitement had something to do0 w alh It. Mr. Morton never closed his eyes, and the doctor could do nothing to make him rest. Thae patient had internal spasms and turned from water.

Another, a girl, had been chained by the legs to a log. Tihe rooms of the or phaniage were aiso found to be in the filthiest possible condition. Ir the kitchen of the orphanage was found a baby, six weeks old, covorea with dirty rags and dying of cold and inattention. Other children were found in the same apartment crouched around a small fire almost frozen and ihalf starved. All were weak and sicKIv and their growth had been stunted hy tihe treatitient received under Rlev. Mr. Cot tonl's Iianagenlient.

The wall4 and floors were in beastly condition and soine of the beds used by the unfortunate children were merely old boxes and packinig Cases filled with stAl hay.
