Similar action was taken fn the case in which Myron Syron was charged with assault and battery. GOT OFF EAST. That Max Goldman gave her but but 55 cents' change from a $10 bill when she paid him 45 cents was the charge on which Goldman was tried before Jtidge Newcomb yesterday.

Florist, Commonwealth Bldg. BOY HAS HYDROPHOBIA Fbjiicians Have Practically Given Up Hope of the Recovery of James Reillj. SL0AT TAKEN TO KEW J0BK James Reilly is dying and the condition of William Sloat, the latest victim, is so serious that he is being taken to the Pasteur Institute in New York for treatment Isabel Conway, the other patient is no better or no worse than she was a week ago. Such in brief la the history of hy drophobia in this city at the present time. Matthew Reilly has hydrophobia, That was the decision of the attending physicians yesterday.

The physicians present at the consultation at Dr. Bower's private hospital were Dr, Bower, Dr. H. E. Paget Dr.

Kenneth Paget, Dr. Thomas Rodman, Dr. P. F. Gunster and Dr.

J. J. Sullivan. Until yesterday the boy seemed to be getting along as nicely as possible, the wounds were healing nicely and his general condition was favorable, but yesterday a material change for the worse took place, and the terrible hydrophobia, which the physicians have been battling against, began its work. It is believed that every as sistance of medical science has been given the boy, and it is doubtful if the eminent experts in this disease would avail.

Dr. K. E. Paget, who has had con siderable experience in the treatment of canines and felines, and has made a study of rabies, said last evening: "The Reilly boy is in the first stages of the disease and his case is critical. Yesterday he manifested a nervous condition and articulated with diitl culty.

What will develop during the next 24 hours I am not able to say. I know of but rare cases where there vas an ultimate recovery of a case of this kind." Dr. Paget states that he has sjveral dogs confined which will be watched closely for indications ofrabies. He says it is a popular fallacy that persons afflicted with hydrophobia will walk on their hands and feet and bark like a dog. The fact is, said he, the muscles of the throat become paralyzed and the mucus which forms i pj.ppiled by the muscles beneath.

causing a guttural sound which Is not unlike the slight barking or similar to croupy condition. Alarming symptoms developed yes tcrday in the case of William Sloat, who was bitten by the bulldog VSport and the lad was taken by Dr. Spitzer to the Pasteur Institute at New York. The dog, which unquestionably had the rabies, died at Dr. Paget's hos pital Monday afternoon.

CEDAR AVENUE WILL SOON BE PAVED Property Holders Now Willing That It First Be Graded To Begin Work at Once. Mayor Aleck T.

Connell, Director of Public Works Jayne, City Engineer Jifkins and a committee of property holders of Cedar avenue, held a conference in the office of the city engineer yesterday morning in connection with the proposed Cedar avenue pavement. About a year ago the property holders along Cedar avenue dicided that they wanted a pavement and so the city prepared to give them one. Cedar avenue is very uneven, in some places the sidewalks being lower than the street on one side and higher on the other so that before the work of paving could begin the city engineer decided that the street must be properly graded. The majority of property holders refused to release the city in case the grading was done, so the work was brought to a standstill as the city refused to run the risk of incurring damages. Some months later the property holders asked the city to pave the street just as it was, the very numerous "hills" and "valleys" to be left in their natural state.

The city not desiring to have a freak street, refused and again the matter was hung up. Lately the property holders have come to the conclusion that they would permit the city to go ahead and pave the street as it should be paved. Yesterday's conference was held to arrange details and release the city from all damages resulting from grading. It was also decided to narrow the street 6 feet so that the paved roadway will be 34 feet instead of 40. The work will be begun at once.
