As long as the negro vote in the South is cast
solid, or nearly so, tn ere is reason to expect
any amelioration of the condition of politics in
that section.
That is to say, if the negroes will not
vote for the Democrats, their old mas

hogs, and ravished their wives and
daughters, then the Democrats will mur-

AT an early hour yesterday morning an affray
occurred in q saloon under Woods Theater, be-
tween Mike Stromeyer and Daniel Dunlap, bar
keeper at the st. James, both well known
young men. They had been drinking over the
average, and Dunlap took offense at Stromeyer
because the latter would not pay him a matter
of one dollar and fifty cents that he had won
from him ''cutting'' cards, and, railing to pay,
wouldn't treat. Dunlap called Stromeyer some
very hard name, and finally hit him, cutting
his face and backing his right eye. Stronger
didn't object to this. He merely proceeded to
walk off, Dunlap then assaulted him again,
and took his hat away from him. Stronger
asked for his hat. Not getting it back, he went
to the Buckeye saloon, next door ,and borrowed
a hat. When he returned. in considerably
"riled" frame of mind, Dunlap went for him
again. ThereupOn StrOmeyer commenced cut
ting at him with a pocket knife. He cut him
three times, once across each shoulder blade and
once in the neck, inf lcting painful, though NOT
dangerous wounds. Mike arrested and
lodged in the Ninth Street Station

HOOSIER SURGERY.
OF BLOOD SUCCESSFULLY
PERToRMED.

lTRANsFUsIoS OF BLOOD SUCCESSFULLY
PERToKMED.
The Wabash PlaiDdealer gives the frs
case of the new experiment In this stat,
as follows: The honor of the first surgi
cal experiment known as TRANSMISSION OF
the blood. in the State of Indiana, i
claimed for Wabash county. This ex
pertinent was performed by Drs. Smitl
and Blount, last Thursday, in the pres
encc of Drs. Donaldson, Dicken, Peters
and Kidd, and is supposed to be the fiftl
case i'm which lambs blood has beer
transferred TO the veins of human be
ings in the United States. The patient
in this case is Mr.. Henry Kelso, farm
er residing apout five miles northwesl
of Wabash, who is very low with con.
sumption The manner of performing
the operation is rs follows: A Young
healthy lamb is procured and tied firmly
TO an oblong board. Its carotid artery
is then opened, and wien in the fore
arm of the patient laid bare. A gutta
'percha hose, with glass tube at each
end, which can be loosened simultane-
ously, is then entered in the artery OF
the lamb and the vein OF the patient
and the pulsations of the heart of the
lamb send the blood coursing through
the veins. The flow of blood i'm the
case of Mr.. kelso continued 10 seconds
and during that time II ounces OF blood
were injected into his veins. The sensa-
tions which attended the operation were
a sense of warmth, some little opprcs-
sion of breath, and a slight dizziness,
but without any uneasiness of the stom-
ach whatever-a symptom which has been
marked in all other cases reported. The
operation was very successfully per-
formed, and has added very much TO the
strength of the patient. 1t will be re-
peatcd in few days. but so far gone is
Mr.. kelso that it is doubtful whether
he can recover. The case attracts uni
versal attention, and the result will be
watched with great interest.
