Unfounded Charges Against New York Banks
A. Barton Hepburn, former comptroller, notes the closure of a New York national bank once linked to Southern correspondents. He argues allegations that New York banks throttled Southern credit are false, citing robust support for South and West banks and prior crises where New York lenders moved large gold and loans to back regional commerce. He cites demagogic origins of such charges and recounts historical rescues that stabilized the banking system.

Two Fatal Hydrophobia Cases From Cat Bite in Philadelphia
Philadelphia reports a grim case where an 11 year old boy John Miller dies from hydrophobia eighteen days after his mother succumbed to the disease. The chain began when a family cat bit the boy on the foot as his mother aided him. The father killed the cat after it sank its fangs into his throat, and five days later the mother showed signs of hydrophobia before dying. The boy did not exhibit symptoms until yesterday, leading to the second demise.
