A CASE OF
HYDROPHOBIA.
George Branch, Col,Died of the
Terrible Malady
ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Was Bitten About six Weeks
ago by a Hound. The Wound
was Slight and the dog
Healthy, But the Bite
Killed the Negro.
On Friday there came to Rome
from the Oostinaula plantation <>f
Bev. M. L. Troutman, Jr., a wild
wyea negro man. The poor fellow
was not frothing at Jthe
mouth but he was‘*Bpitting froth.”
He was car ied [to. the Medical
Building where a number of Rome’s
leading physicians examined him.
Among the number was Dr. Cox,
and he and others pronounced
she symptoms of the case as those
in a well developed case of hydro
phobia.
The negros name was George
Branch, and he said that about six
weeks ago a hound sprang at him
fastened its fangs in his right arm.
The dog was not mad but angry.
He seemed to be in good health.
The wound was dressed and soon
healed up.
About two weeks ago, however
the place began to burn, and day
by day the symptoms of the dread
maladay developed.
He cm tc tle city for relief
and while his eye betrayed the
workings of the disease and the
froth kept willing up his throat, ho
was otherwise calm and normal.
He started home Friday after
noon but died when a few miles
out of the city and before he ar
rived home.

LANHAM A SON.
CHRISTIANS
MASSACRED.
Impossible Taxes Demanded and
Refused by Armenians.
MANY THOUSANDS SLAIN
Defenseless and helpless they
are shot down like so many
bnffalo, under the direct
ion ofthe Governer
of Bitlis.
London, November 17. —The
Standard’s correspondent in Var
na describes the recent massa
cre of Armenian Christians as of
equal importance with the Bul
garian butcheries which led to
the Russo-Turkish war. He says:
“The trouble began with the re
fusal of the Armenians to pay
taxes on the ground that the
Kurdish raids had so impoverished
them as to render it impossible.
This probably was true. Troops
were sent to enforce the payments,
but they were bea'en off. The gov
ernor of Bitlis then arrived with
an imposing force of regulars.
“The people seeing that the
struggle was hopeless, yielded, but
the governor resolved to make an
example of them. He ordered the
troops to fire on the defenseless
populace, and they obeyed with
alacrity. They only ceased when
the residents of twenty-five vil
lages, numbering some thousands,
had been killed.
Some reports say 6,000 were
slain. Great Britain sent her con
sul in Varna, Mr. Hallward, to re
port on the slaughter, The British
ambassador in Constantinople, up
on receiving the report, communi
cated it to the porte. The sultan
was horrified, and he ordered the
local military commander, Seki
Pasha, to make his report on the
matterat once.
“Seki Pasha had been original
ly instructed to proceed to rhe
scene after the repulse of the
troops, but the governor of Bitlis
arrived ahead of him.
It seems that Seki Pasha’s report
confirmed Mr. Hallward’s report,
whereupon the governor formulat
ed the grave charge that the latter
was inciting the Armenians to re
volt, thus causing the whole origi
nal disturbance This was submit
ted to Sir Philip JCurrie, who hag
sent out British officials to make
inquiries.”
Mr. Hagoipian, chirman of
the Armenian Patriotic Associa
tion in London, has sent Lord
Kimberly, foreign secretary, a let
ter sent from Bitlis, on Ocbober
9th. Mr. Hagoipian, after declar
ing his belief in the reports of the
massacre, submits that, in view
of the horrible tortures, and perse
cutions of the Armenians, the time
lias come to abolish the adminis
tration of the porte and substitute
a regime approved by the signato
ries.
A CARD.
Manager Nevin Has a Word for The
ater-Goers
Editor Hustler: Permitme a
few lines in your valuable paper n
the way of asking that patronage < f
the theater-goers oi Rome may be
given Lincoln J.Carter’s attraction
for uext monday night at the opera
house. Lincoln J. Carter’» name is
a sufficient guarantee that the at
traction is first-class in every way.
I underwrite for Mr. Carter, fulfill
ing every promise made the public
That is wherein he has made bis
great reputation as a manager of
theatrical attraction . The marvel
ous scenic displayed, “The Torna
do’’is a fine play with a plot and
verry amusing in many of its parts.
In this connection I would ask the
public to increase theii patronage
to the opera bouse somewhat above
what they have been doing of late
—especially when firs' -ilats attrac
tions visit the city.
