Only One of tfic four Rabbits in- v ocnlatcdnrYlvcd: ONE DIED : IN . CONVULSIONS. survivor was Inoculated In the - Ear and Is Hale and Hearty ' Period of Danger Past. J" - 1 v. " - - On the 17th of December rDr. Brooks, assisted by Dr. ,Turnerin the presence of representatives of the press here inoculated four rabbits, all that were then available, with a part of Jihe spi nal cord of the dog that bit a number of people here. The spinal column a9 stated at the time, was emulsed in glycerine chemi cally pure and the emulsion used in the inoculation. Three of the rabbits were inoculated over the cervical ver tebrae just 4n front of the shoulders by clipping the skin with an aseptic instrument. The other rabbit was in oculated by injecting the emulsion hypodermically in the ear. A very fine needle was used and only a small quantity of the emulsion could be in jected. The three rabbits inoculated by the cervico-8pinal process all died. One died of blood-poisoning and one of 'pneumonia as noted some days ago. The other died on the fifth of January or on the eighteenth day after inocu lation. The maximum period within which a rabbit inoculated will have "hydrophobia is twenty days. This is the twenty-first day and the remaining rabbit is perfectly healthy and eats greedily and it may be assumed that it will not die. The last rabbit to die expired in convulsions, as shown by the position of its body. Dr. Brooks had been watching the rabbits closely. On the morning of the 5th be fed the two sur vivors and noticed that one was droop ing and would eat only when the food was placed directly before it. The other ate heartily. He was called away and returning about 5 o'clock p. m. , went to see the rabbits. He found the one making its last gasp. The head was drawn back nearly to the rump, the usual position in case of convulsions. Dr. Brooks did not see enough of the death struggles to determine the na ture of the convulsions. That it did die with convulsions, there is no room for doubt. The only disease other thanhydropho- bia that could account for the appear ance of the dead rabbit is tetanus. But the maximum period for death by te tanus is eight days and the usual period is twenty-four hours, while as noted the rabbit died on the eighteenth day. It is to be regretted of course that the experiment could not settle the question beyond doubt but it is one of those instances, common enough in scientific experimentation, where hard and fast conclusions can not be safely drawn. The probabilities as shown by the experiment are on the, side of the dog's having hydrophobia. Be yond that it would be unsafe to go. . Millions for His Hrtra. By Cable to Th Tklbobam. Paris Jan. 8.

Actlonof Salem Commissioners A Wild Rumor. Special Xd Th Tilbgram. V Winston, N. C, Jan. 8 The Sulom commissioners, at their meeting last gu, aavanced an idea which may prove of much value to the municipal boards of other towns and citiea in th state. The Eagle H6se Co. of that city asked to be relieved from the nav- men$ of poll tax upon the ground that wiey were doing volutary service for the city. The solons refused the peti tion, assigning as a reason that the laws of the state prohibited any inter ferenoe as to-poll tax. The Winston aldermen recentlv vio lated the law in this respect and it is brobable many other towns have in advertently done.likewise. All lawyers here say the Salem com missioners are right.- wild rumors are circulated here that Dr. Wheeled has been appointed postmaster for Winston and Henry Shore for Salem. There is absolutely no foundation- for these rumors, the object of the originators being sup-J poseo to be a test by the Wheeler fac tion of public opinion on the question as to his being acceptable in case there should be a chance for him to slip in.

JANUARY 8, 1898. flAJOR BITTINQER BLACKBALLED Our Consul -General in Canada Turned Down by; a -Montreal Club. - MontrealJan. 6.--A sensation was caused hene tonight by the news that Major Jerhn L.

Con- eul-General at Montreal a few months ago by President McKinley.

The opposition came to nothing,-as -Major Bittinger's appointment was confirmed.

When the ballot was counted it was found that a large num ber of blackballs had been placed in the box and the application was re jected.
