fe*. dleu day morning in exactly
v tweot ,nt hours after the flrstsymp
tOinrf ai.poared. 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.

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

Dr. Howe said: "It certainly failed in

at the lottery switch near Montnouth,
sixteen miles west of here. Tho train
ttrts running at a high rate of speed.
Tho facts show that tho switch was
partly open, and the locomotive left
ill" main track an I started on the side
track; some of tho car.* behind kept on
tho main track, and as the result the
whole train of seven cars, except t'.o
sleeper, was derailed and turnen over
on side, the cars being scattered around
in great confusion. Tht-ru was no tel
escoping. There wero on the engine
ICugineer A, A. Kmery and Neils An
derson, of tills city, and George Court
ney, a travelling engineer, who went
out on the trip to see how the now loco
motive worked. Andersou was blown
from the cab by steam. Kmery and
Courtney bad no chance to escape and
their bodies wero fouud close to tho lo

men wero thrown across their cars, but
miraculously escaped injury. A young
man named Frank S. .loiinson of Avon,
who with W. It. Hard, of Abingdou,
was standing on the step* <>' the smok

thrown under the wheels and killed.

The baggage car caught lire; but tho

The saddest casuality happened in

in one seat In the middle ot the car sat
Mr. George. Allen, bis wife and baby.
She was uext to the window, and as tho
car tipped over her head was driven
through the window and she was in
stantly killed. Tho baby war hurled
across the car, but, savo a cut on its

bruises. Ho found his baby llrst, then
groped his way from the ear for a lan

dead.
The scene after tho wreck is said to
have been heartrending and panicky.
Tho imprisoned passengors beat out
the wiudows of tho cars to effect their
escape. A lurpO force of surgeons and
railroad Olllclals went from "hero and
Burlington. In ad.iitiou to the four

VVllkksbAltRE, Oct. 18.?"Granny"
Farrell Is one of the distinguished resi
dents of tho village of Sturmervillo.
Sho is u2 years old. 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.

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

greatest e. cilomtnt. Investigation
proved that the trostlos bad been set on

tho telegraph wires in several places.
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.
For the past two weeks tires, evident

put out just in time to save, serious
Wrecks, tint the trouble has been kept

Hortons went from their home at Sun
Hill lo Oconee, (lfloetl miles distant,
Sunday. They remained in hiding till
night and then started back, burning the
trestles as they went. The men were
tricked from Oconee. to Sun Hill. The
Hortons woro carried to Sandorsvillo

NlKbt.
Sr. Louis, October 20.?Private dtp*
patchet? Just received here say that the
stentner Oliver Bunne, used hero as un
excursion b.ut during tho summer and |
as a cotton carrier iu tho lower Missis
sippi in the lull aud winter, was burned
at Millikeu's Bend, twelve miles from
Vicksburg, this moruing. 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. Collhnrp & Co,
ol' this place, and after landing loaded
tills cotton, dropped down a couple, of
hundred yard:', and lied up for the night.
The lire, broke out alter nearly ovcry
one had retired lor the. night anil spread
with 8U :h rapidity that the engineer was
unable to turn on the hose. 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. The passengers
and crew lost everything they had iu the
way of clothing and baggage, many
I leaving the burning boat iu their night
clothes and bate lecl.

lljn iu.KiiKM, Pa., Oct. 28.?-A dis
located neck is the latest penalty paid
by a foot-ball player. When a day or
two ago, Augustine Paul, who lives at
No. 324 Past Fifth street, was playing
the absorbing game with a crowd of
companions, he was "held" by a dozen
boys, one ol whom put his knee iu the
lad's neck, At once it was discovered
that some thing terrible had happened
to young Paul. He could not put his
head back or forward. Ho was taken
home and a doctor called.
The physician lelt the lad's neck and
made the startling announcement that
it was desolated. A careful examina
tion showed that ono of the vetrebne
bail been knocked out ol placa and
pushed far to the front. A second ve
trebne had been partially forcod down
ward to fill up the cavity iu tho back of
the neck. A large dentis noticeable on
the back part, while a great protrusion
extends In front, like a lingo "Adam's
apple"
Several doctors have since been call
ed in to look at the boy who Is Buffeting
from the strange injury. At first he
was agonized with stinging paius such
as invnrible accompany the dislocation
a bone. Tho pain has partialy sub
sided. But this isa small consideration
compared to the risky condition the tin
lorlunate lad is in. The doctors say
they will not dare replace the verlohne,
as they might snap the. vital spinal
column in the operation. It is very ten
ner, and a break would bo instant death
to the patient.
Again, they tear Ihey might strain the
cord and cause paralysis of the whole
body. Hence nature will be left to take
her course. It t'uo dislocated vertebra)
go back to their proper places, the hoy
will recover. At present his bead is
tlirowu far back. The chin is greatly
elevated, and movement fore and alt is
impouible. Props aud braces support
the head to some extent, to reliovo the
wounded member of any unnecessary

Mutual Life Ins.Go
OF NEW YOUR.
Total Asset* now $147,154.00120.
No other envestment in the
world iB so absolutely safe, or eon
sideline the orotcction, more pro
fitable than a life or endowment
policy in The Mutual Life Insur
ance Company of New York, for
the following reasons :
ist. The COntrCCt is based upon
a natural and universally operating
law of mortality, hacked by the
good faith and continued payments
of the largest number (102,013 in
1SS9) of carefully' selected lives
insured in any company on the re
serve fund system.
2nd. The Mutual Life has the
largest reserve fund of any insur
ance company in the world?being
now over $147,000,000.
3rd. During the lorty-scven
years of its business, its receipts
from interest alone have paid all
death claims and left a surplus
therefrom of $11,315,901 69.
4th. Its interest receipts have
exceeded all expenses of manage-.
ment l?y the enormous sum of .$55,-!
447,246.89.
5th. Its annual income in 1889
exceeding all the requirements lor
paying death claims, matured en
dowments, annuities, surrender
values, dividends to policy-holders
and expenses (in all amounting to
.f 2 1,629,502.6t ) by nearly ten mil
lions of dollars, or exactly $9,981,
6th. The Mutual Life has al
ready paid to and accumulated for
ts policy-holders ovc1 $435,000,
000, which is double the transac
tion of any other company in the
world.
No other financial system can
give such protection and security,
and is so well guarded on every
side against the disturbing elements
that undormino and overthrow the
best laid plans and methods of men
acting iu their individual capacity.
