Jordan it vi tuuivcu luwusiup. nc was carried to Raleigh the day after the dog bit him and took the Pasteur treatment for 21 days, the time required. But on account of having been bitten about the face the treatment did not prove effective, and on the 24th of February he began to show effects of the dreadful disease. He soon began to suffer with convulsions, and though the best medical attention was given him, he died as stated above.

On the Corner t Governor'* Message SHBtteV Trouble in the Houss^Bf Columbia, March 5 -Last night the govenor of South Carolina delivered orally to the bouse of representatives a message which was unusually impassioned even for him, which set the body by the ears and came near to provoking two fist fights between membets and himself. Remarks attributed to Representative Stevenson, in the adoption by the ho ise of a reso lut ion not only declining to order the further inquiry into the State Hospital for the Insane which has been asked by the governor, but congratulating the committee of investigation upon its "statesmanlike" report, were presumably the immediate provocations of the outburst by the chief ex cutive. This was said to be the first instance in which a governor's message has been delivered orally by-its author to either hot^s? of the South Carolina geneml assembly. The governor walked into e hall alone at 8:16 o'clock. The general attack of 4Jge governor was against W. F? 9fcvenson, member of the specfil committee that was appointed!) investigated the conditions|lt the State Hospital for the Insafte. The governor took exceptuj^fd certain statements, attribute ^ Mr. Stevenson, in his speecn yesterday morning in the house when the Kirby resolution for a further investigation into the asylum matter was under discussion. * ; Tho J ?

The governor grew fiercer as his speech progressed. He declared be meat do "fight." He invited some one out of the hall. He was ready to annihilate some one for the statements. Discussing the report of the speeches further in the sumfc papc the governor launched into a bitter attack on N. B. Bamwell, member of the house from Charleston. Mr. Barnwell rose to a point of order when the governor referred to him as acting in?A cowardly manner. > It look ^jjri Rdmwpll nnlv a four ? ? w. -? ??

It seemed as if the entire legislative body would be thrown into a fight. Members rushed between Mr. Barnwell and? the governor and prevented a fight' on the sneaker's stand. When the governor had been called to answer personally for his reflections upon Mr. Barnwell, he ended his speech with a few words, not referring again to the Charleston member. The governor immediately left the speaker's stand and pro-^ ceeded to leave the hall. There was a rush ot members to the rear of the hall. W. F.
