ALL 11le MUST BE MUZZLllll Spread of Babies in Ontario May Lead to the Order. A despatch from Toronto says: Rabies in a very violent form has broken out in several portions of Ontario, particularly the western district, and the provincial and Do- minion authorities are now ex- changing correspondence and tak- ing steps to prevent the disease from spreading any farther. That the outbreak is a serious one is not doubted, but the provincial au- thorities prefer not to discuss it. Numerous dogs and cows have been destroyed as a result of the out- break, and no less than four peo- ple have had to go to the Pasteur Institute at New York for treatâ€" ment, the result of bitesby mad dogs. Investigation has proven that the origin of the outbreak is traceable ti an episode which took place three or four Weeks ago, when a mad dog ran across the Interna- tional Bridge at Lewiston, to Quecnston‘, and thence up the stone road to Niagara Falls, Ont, where it b't several dogs on its rampage. lt finally fell exhausted in a field and died. Dr. C. A. Hodgetts, secretary of the Provincial Board of Health and Dr. J. G. Rutherford, Dominion veterinary directorâ€"general, are in conference with regard to the situ- ation. The Dominion department has charge of all veterinary and live stock matters, while the pro- vincial authorities look after all questions pertaining to health. Numerous Conferences already have taken place at the Parliament Buildings with regard to what ac- tion is to taken to cope with the spread of the disease. ‘l It is altogether probable that a. general inspection will be ordered and stringent regulations adopted to prevent the spread of hydropho- bia, which has been alarming, to say the least. One order which may be issued is that all dogs in On- tario must be muzzled, and if so special officers will be appointed to enforce the order. The situation is regarded as being most dangerous in the cities. The real danger is from mad dogs running at large. Some owners of cattle have destroyâ€" ed cows which have been bitten .by mad dogs, and in two cases veterin- aries were bitten while attending to sick cattle. W We Do, 1,, was about the top pm, nu.

A dcspatch from Toronto says: While proceeding down the walk from the Parliament buildings on Thursday evening shortly after the adjournment of the Legislature, Hon. A. J. Matheson slipped and fell, fracturing his left arm just :bolow the shoulder. The accident occurred about one hundred feet from the entrance of the House, at a spot where the walk inclines ra- ther sharply. The Provincial Treaâ€" surer, after being assisted to his feet by Col. Hugh Clark, M.P., of Centre Bruce, who was with him, was able to walk back to the rooms of the Hon. Dr. Pync.
