Deaths from Aysdraphobia In Brooklyn Two Victims
In Brooklyn two men died within 24 hours from hydrophobia linked to dog bites. Thomas Kelly, 22, a car driver, contracted symptoms after a black dog bite on February 20 and died after severe spasms and aversion to water. A Newfoundland bite in January led another victim to rapid deterioration and death, despite initial wound care. An unrelated German anecdote follows about royal discipline and a bath request.

Yellow Fever Contributions and Bank Case Fragments
A chaotic summary notes that Southern states raised 4 million plus for yellow fever relief, Memphis city receipts near 400 thousand, and many towns contributed. It then shifts to a bank dispute over a Marshalltown case and alleged defalcation, followed by stray ads and medical quackery copy.
