HUiTering all the agony ?y Attache? to that fearful malady, hydro phobia. The SUto yesterday morning, as us ual, iv-y the public first facts concern ing l/io illness of Mr. Morton and the fe#r of the physician that it was a gen /rylne case of hydrophobia. I lardly had the people of the city recovered from the shock of the information when the ^Announcement was made that tho tin BLfeHimate BtilTeror wan dead, having MWreathed his last at 0.30 a. in. ITT During yesterday the State represen tative called at the residenco and ob tained all the facts. Tho very Jlrst Hymptoms appeared while Mr. Morton was on his engine in tho Columbia and Greenville railroad yard. lie felt a sudden pain in the arm which had been Mtten, and a sickness at tho stomach. Tfejs was on Friday night last. He went home, and niter his arm had been rubbed down by his wife, tho pain went into his left side, whero ho had been inoculated. Ho grew worse and at2 o'clock Friday morning Dr. Howe was called to attend him. When the physician first saw him ho stated that the symptoms wore of hydropnobia. Tho 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 dog which had run a long distance, and whito froth fell from his lips. This continued all day. Mr. Morton, still retaining his senses, howevor, was in a high state of excite ment. As night came on he quieted down somewhat, but seemed much weaker. Thus 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 he had been inoculated, were in fearful pain. Later he complained of being warm. He refused to take any liquid, and tho froth which came from his mouth, like that of a mad dog, turned green in color. At times ho would draw himself up and raise his body on all fours, but as soon as spoken to would again He down, the incessant panting continu ing meanwhile. With all this he retained wonderful self-control, and calling Messrs. Me Dougal and Shumbert, who were watch ing with him, to his bedside, informed them of certain papers he had, which, if attended to, would provide for his fam ily, and asked them to see that every thing was attended to. Ho realized that his end was near and told his brother, when he left him for awhile, that if ho wished to seo him alive ho had better hasten back. Friends told him that it was merely a billi'us at tack, he said he knew better. Dr. Howe was with Mr. Morton all Saturday night, and did everything he could to quiet the sick man. He had just dispatched a messenger for Dr. Tayl ir,asking for a consultation when, in fearful agony, Mr. Morton bieathed his last. Mr. Morton retained his senses to the last, by tho exercise of indoniitablo will. Ho could recognize all comers to the last. All the time, however, he would piteously beg everyone not to touch him, evidently being fearful of tho harm he might do them. He would not. even let Iiis wife come near. The wounds did not open afresh, and all the pain seemed to be in Iiis sides. He told his attendants that ho did not want them to think he was mad; that ho know what was coming, and had fought against it as long as he could. Tho brother of Mr. Morton said that since his return from the Institute ho has had but little signs of illness. Once, about three weeks after his return, he complained that his hat Wa* too heavy andhurtjiis head. This caused him to ??tayatmio a few days. f This brother says that Mr. Morton told him recently that whilo in Now York he had two or three times, awak ened at night to tlnd himself trying to bite his half-brother, with whom he was sleeping. Mr. Morton was bitten by a large dog on the (5th day of August last, the ani mal knocking him down and lacerating his arm. Immediately madstones were applied to the wounds and worked ap parently successfully. At once tho Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers raised tho necessary amount of money and Mr. Morton was sent to tho Pas teur Institute in Now York. Ho was there within twenty-live hours after he was bitten. The Institute charged $225, and guar anteed a cure. Mr. Morton remained v thoro iifteen days, receiving inocula ? ?^Honii in his sides twlco a day. On the nineteenth day he was discharged and told that tho wound would never trou ble him again. The family severely condemn the treatment and it is stated that tho Brotherhood will do likewise. Mr. Morton was insured for .31,500 in un accident company and for tho same fVnount in tho Brotherhood of Locomo r';,' ""Engineers.

When seen, Dr. Howe said it was'qndoubtedly a casoof hydropho bia. II?0reall7.ed that when he saw the patient Saturday night. Ho thought excitement had something to do with it. Mr. Morton never closed his eyes, and tho doctor could do nothing to mnkohim rost. Ti. a patient had internal spasms and turned from water. Had lie been less exhausted he might have lived 48 hours lpngor, As to the Pasteur treatment, Dr. Howe said: "It certainly failed in this case, but it undoubtly modi lied tixtaymptons. Ho was not as violent 'oe would have beon without it." 1il3 is tho first genuino case of hy '?hta ever known in Columbia. - '?? llsh Schein?. n., Oct. 29.?A son ind startling na < afternoon.

For thirty-one 1 years she has been a widow. Her hus band was killed in the war. She draws a good pension, but insists on living tho life of a hermit. She has no relatives, and ?VC6 in a little frame house a quarter of a mile from the nearest neighbor. She was last seen in Pittston about the middle of September. She told a storekeeper there that sho had laid in her winter's Blipply of pro visions, and would soon lock herself up. "Granny's" neighbors knew what that meant. Every winter she locks herself up and nobody sees her until the spring again. When tho house was closed day* , light never entered. She lived by lamp light. She always claimed that the light of winter was cold and that sho burned Irs* coal when the bouse was closed up light. "Granny's" only com panion was a big Newfoundland dog. When she went to the cellar for coal the dog would always accompany her. Ho would take the coal bucket in his mouth and carry it up stair.). He would do this with the ash bu :ket. Dick, like his mistress, would never leave the j house in winter. On Saturday last the dog made his escape from the house. 1[e went to Mr. Sackey's, loo nearest neighbor, and set up a fearful barking. Ho would start oJf toward tho house of bis mistress, whining, and then return again. Mrs. Sackey said old ' Granny" was either dead or very sick. The dog leaped for joy when three persons started off with him. Arriving at the houso the dog went into a cellar hole, where ho had made his exit from the house. It was found that ho had torn away two big boards which had been nailed fast. 11 is front jaws wore badly lacerated and his mouth was very sore. The Sackeys broke down tho door, and when they entered they found "Granny" more dead than alive. Sho had been stricken with paralysis. Tho last food sho took was bologna .sausage and hard crackers. Tho sausage had been dragged from a cupboard to tho bed by the dog. lie now occupies a placo at the foot of his mistress's bid. Tho doctor says "Granny" cannot live. Tho National AUtimon.

Sum in rs, a -vhite farmer from the Lex ington Fork section, wsb relieved of 8?J5 iait nigh', much to his dissatisfac tion. Summers told the tale of the robbery to Chief of Police Iligbe nud several other parties,and it was noted that his story varied very much in detail. To u llegister reporter Summers told his "t ile of woe." Ho said that about 11.30 o'clock ho was walking along Gervais street and at tho corner of .Lin coln street was met by a man who seiz ed him >>y the shoulder and asked it he (Summers) knew him. Suminers looked at his interlocutor and said "1'es, you're Pill Baxter." Baxter then informed Summers that he was going to beat him and commen ced shaking him. Suddenly Paxter threw him across a ditch. Summers picked himself upandcaine back across the ditch. A. colored wo man then came up to him and attempt ed to chuck him under the chin. Summers thought, of his money and run his hand iu his pocket, withdraw ing it quickly with a desponding wail, "My moaey's g'iue." Summers s dd that when Baxter met him, he had :?i??. six tens and a lite dol lar bill, in his insido eoat pocket and was walking along with ids hand on it. Ho was unable to say when the money disappeared, but thought he might have jerked the roll (it was wrapped in paper) out of his pocket whon ho was thrown over the ditch. lie claims that another man was present With Daxlor during the whole transaction, and thinks that he might have lllched the money from his pocket, lie said it was possible that the colored woman might have abstract ed the money. At any rale he spent considerable time searching around the place where iio was assaulted for fear that he might not have been robbed, he might simply have dropped the money in the sen tile. A long slit In his pants and another in bis coat just over the pockets Sum mers pointed to. Ilo was unable to say who cut them, but claimed they were made during the struggle. Tho police were informed of tho cir cumstances of the case, and were out last night af?er Bill Baxter. Ho will probably bo caught to-day. Summers heard that a colored woman was on the st reets with ?20, and about 2 o'clock was hunting all over town to (lud her, thinking she might have been been the o:ie who was present at the struggle.?Register.

This morning detectives, assisted by parties from Tenuillo and Sandorsvillo, arrested two brothers named Horton, of Horton, who robbed the espress tram near Savannah a short time since, and they are now in jail. The men delied arrest, but were, linally surrounded and taken. It is claimed tho men made, re peated threats to commit depredations ii their brother was not roloascd from jail.

Twolve lives aro reported lost. The lire was discovered In cottou in tho hold early this morning, and the llames spread so rapidly that many of the crow and passengers had very nar row escapes. Tiie dead arc a daughter of J. I). Adams, of Omaha, Mrs. Fraz cr's nurso and live cabin boys. Two colored clumbermulds and a number of roosters aro also missing. The llierno left hero about a week ago, and carried 708 bales of cottou und 100 tons of other freight* She was ouo ol tho linest and largest boats on the river. There were quite a number of narrow eecapes. Capl. Thorwegnn was the last to leave tho boat, having to slide down a guy rod from the upper deck. Pilot Massiu made his escape by passing through the llames to the stern of tho boat and jumping in the river. He was severely burned. The male displnyad his bravery by letting himself down by a rope, holding a little child by tho cloth ing. The bodies of the pantryman, baker ami chambermaid havo been re covered. The crew and passengers all left lor Vicksburg by the steamer Shel fled this cveuing, with the exception of Mis. Prazlor and child, Mrs. Worrell and F. M. Howell, whoso in juries aro too scYere to permit their travelling just yet. The boat had landed at Hose Hill and Millikeu's Landing to take two hundred bales of cottou for A. S.

Tho Ash ley Company had about five hundred bales ol cotton on tho landing only a short distauce above, which narrowly escaped burning from falling cinders. A Vicksburg special says that at Greenville the mate had some trouble with t he roustors, many of them quit ting work, after which the mate lured levee men, paying them 25 cents per hour. This enraged the negroes, who made open threats against tho mate and boat. At 8.30 in the morning the cot ton in the deck room was discovered on tire, and the boat was a mass ol llames iu a short time. Hvccy effort was made to save tho life of those on board, hut it is feared the death list will reach twelve or more. The yawl was lowered to pick up those it could reach in tune, it was the only hope of saving many who were co a polled to jump into Lite river. The New Orleans Picayune's Milli keu's Bend special, via Tullttlall, says that the boat and cargo are a total loss. Sho had about eighty deck and about twenty cabin passengers. It is (lifllcull to ascertain the loss of life, several re ports differing as to exajt number. The following are known to have been among those who perished: Mis. Waddell, an elderly lady, ol Now Orleans; Sam Knrtryeken, son of the clerk; two daugh ters of Dr. Worrell, of Baton Rouge the chambermaid and the daughter ol Mrs. Adams, tho barber, sjcond cook and pantryman, live cabin boys and two while levee laborers.
