BLED To DEATH.
A CASE IN THE SURGEONS oPERATI
ROOM IN THE ADAMS INSTITUTE


ROOM IN THE ADAMS INSTITUTE.
A Springfield special of the New York
Sun says: On Wednesday last, in the
Adams Institute in this town, an ampu--
tstion WAS performed upon Mr.. Carstone
who had suffered compound fracture OF
the head of the femur by fall from the
front platform OF a street car that after
ward passed over the limb. Mr.. Carstone
was carried to the institute hospital in
sensible. On his arrival there he was put
under the charge of DIR. Adams, whose
visiting time it was, and by his d.
rectlon was at once borne into the opera
ting room, and stretched on the table. The
nature of the wound forbade the applica-
ton of the tournique., and the injured
limb had been, consequently, very tightly
bsndaged, but, despite every precaution,
the loss of blood was constant and great,
and prevented the patients return to con-
sciousness until the usual stimulants had
been applied. Then he revived sufficiently
to be informed of his desperate condition.
de requested the service of Father Fran.
eioli, and from the father he received ex-
treme JUNCTION. Then the operation was
performed, and the artery successfully
taken up.
BLEED TO DEATH.
The pstient,on reaching the bed provided
for him, sank into a comstose state, and in
that condition was so bOlstered up that it
was believed impossible Tor him to saift
his position. But at about midnight the
attention OF one of the nurses was attract
ed by groan, and it WIS seen that by
violent effort Mr. Csrstone had broken the
ligsture that secured the femorsl artery,
and was rapidly bleeding to death. The
sheath OF the artery, by the breaking a of
the part which had been taken up, had
been withdrawn so far into the patients
body that it was impossible to apply the
ligstures again, and thus death seemed in
evitable. The nurse at once applied his
thumb above the course of the artery, and
by hard pressure was thus enabled to check
in measure the flow OF blood, but a hor.
rible spoating flood still beat out from the
wound as though acted upon by clock
v ork. Meanwhile, the under nurse sum-.
moned DIR. Adams, and he ordered the
nurse TO continue his efforts to check the
blood. A powerful stimulsnt was at once
administered, and under its effects Mr..
Csrstone was aroused to a realization of
his case. He desired to make his will, and,
bolstered up on the bed, he dictated that
instrument. The assistant never relaxed
his hold upon the falling pulse, and the
Two attendants several times relieved ore
another in their duty. At last the work
was done; by that time Mr.. CarstoDe had
fallen back to his pillow, and as he affixed
his signature he died.

Hayes responds to their proff5red aid with
grateful emotions. Is there any reform
in all OF this3 None whatever. The con-
fession implied in promises of doing better
should not be considered otherwise than
an evidence of guilt that demands an ex-
pulsioD from places of public trust by the
American people. Infinitely better Will II
be for our country If a change IS m sde that
will separate at once q new administration
from all obligation to the old. In only
this way can reform come. Men who con-
troll the administration will not suffer
their friends to he dismissed. They will
sustain them, and the government
will continue with another head, but in
the old habits of fraud and corruption by
which the nation is now oppressed.
There is q convention now assembled at
st. Louis that can give pledge 20 the
country of reform. 1t will offer 60 tho
country, II it does its duty to the party
that called it together, candidate forthe
presidential chair who will be free from
the tolls and rings that have alreadyrur-
rounded Governor Hayes. The Demo-
cratic party has no Fast dellnquencies TO
confess. Our leader would 60 into the
White House uutrammeled, and would be
free to place ooly honest men In
pieces of trust. The occupation of the ring
masters of the capital would be gone. The
postoffice ring, the Indian ring, the subsidy
ysngs, the financial ring, the real estate
ring, and all other organized p1lsRinG
bands whose existence must come to an
end with the defeat of the Republican
party, would be heard of no more. This is
the only hope OF reform to the American
government. The contest and canvass OF
the issue will soon commence, and the pso-
pie must decide for themselves where the
best promise lies,-in the repenting party
orthe party that needs no repentance.

The. Plea OF fhe-RepubIican Par

1AAcL EAtt& % NA0~aAepuDAEchn fArIys
In again seeking the suffrsges of the
American people the Republican party
makes the special plea of reform. 1t is a
confession of rottenness with promise of
purgation. For eight years the most
alarming corruptions In state have pre-
vailed under the fostering hand of the
Republican party. AS a pledge of the
reform proposed they have nominated q
new man who has NOT been convicted of
using pablic positions and influence to
aid in private speculstieas and gain. But
he is an untried man, as was Grant, Bel
knap aud others whom the party placed
in powee. He may prove a good man
dor the country, bat tie promise and
prospsct as no better, not 80 good,
as the reputation Grant bsd achieved as a
soldier was something worth preserving.
Had be remained at the mead of the army
all parties would have united in sscri bling
honor to his name, and If be had proven
an acceptable president his tscne as gen.
eral would have been %herIshed by the
whole countEE. But his prestige as SOL
der sank with his failure as a statesman,
and there is none now so poor as to do
him reverence Under Observation-Disclosures
the necessity fof reform has ouiminated.
Pillsge in the departments, scoundrelism
in the eutposts mark the administration,
and as the party enters the list asking a
further continuance OF power, they come
before the country with the Illuminating
confession that there is need of reform,
and they promise it under Hayes.
Should the American people trust these
promises? Is there any security that
promises will be fulfilled? 1t is impossi-
BILE that Mr.. Hayes can separate himself
from his party. The Senate to-day that
risks the stoppsge OF the machinery OF
government rather than respond to the
reform In expenditures proposed by the
House would as effsctuaIly check-mste
any reform that he should attempt as they
did every effort of Andrew Johnson to
administer the government upon correct
and constitutional principles. Morton,
Conkling, Blaine and Butler will still
detsrmine who shall fill the places of
public trust, and profit by the spoils.
They rush eagerly to the front
and tender their support, and Mr..

A TRAIN WRECKED "FoR FUN"

a IMAM w TOh " We
An attempt was made on Friday after
noon to throw a train off the track of the
Coney Island and Bath railroad. About
ten minutes alter O'Clock a dummy en-
CINE and one car in which were seated forty
passengers, was approaching Oyington ave-
nue. crossing when the engineer, Isaac
Ring, observed a party of boys running
from the track toward the woods. He i'm
medistely suspected that they were up TO
some mischief, and putting down the
brakes reversed the engine, which was 60
ing at q high rate of speed. A severe
shock, however, followed before the train
stopped. The cowcstcher had struck heavy
piece OF timber sixteen inches In width, nine
feet long and four inches thick, spllnters
from which wounded several of the pas
sengers. The fireman jumped of the

slowly strangling.
N. Y. Post, 28th.

Lee, the Mormon fnurdurer, was
wise when he choose to die by
shooting-that is, II the Utah
hangmen understand their busi-
ness no better than the hangmen
of Atlantic county, New Jersey.
Two murderers were put to death
there at Mays Landing yesterday.
In the case of one of them the
case was so bungIed that the culp-
rit was slowly strangled. Hideous
contortions, the reporters say, were
seen by the spectators. Blood
curlding sounds, choked cries, were
heard from beneath the cap. We
believe that society might do bet
ter with q murderer than to imi-
tate his crime by forms Of law. If
the thing must be done, however,
it ought to be done decently, even
if we have to found and maintain
a school of hangmen.

The Cincinnati Commercial
gives the particulars of difficulty
last Tuesday, near Lambs station,
on the Kentucky Central Railro ad
by which Edward Jones, aged
twenty years, was killed by a
neighbor boy named John Reyes.
aged 16. Keyes was walking
past a school house in the precinct,
when Jones stepped from the door
of the building, and stopping him
accused him Of lying in some af-
fair in which they were both in
terested. Keyes replied in a
manner unsatisfactory to Jones,
and the latter approached him and
slapped him in the face. 1t Is
stated that Jones brother urged
him to make the attack. Reyes
picked up a stone and threw it at
his assailant with prodigiOus
force, striking him on the head
and fracturing his skull. He fell,
and in a few minutes was corpse.
Keves was taken into custody and
conveyed to Alexandria, where
he is confined In jail.

No Wine at Com IN union.
Neao York Herald.

The evening session of the wo-
mems temperance convention
Thursday evening, in the Central
Presbyterian church at Newark,
N. j., was largely attended. Mrs.
Wallace, of Indiana, presided
Mrs. Francis Hopper (colored) of
Philadelphia, ana Mrs. Masy b
Lathrop, of Jackson, Mich, de-
livered forcible temperance SER
mons. Various reports were pre-
sented and read. Mrs. Witten-
meyer, of Philadelphia, presented
a report on Bible wines. The con-
clusion reached was that the use of
wine so often mentioned in the
Bible was not so extensive as OPP
ponents of temperance had claim
ed, and that the wine used was of
a comparatively harmless charac-
ter. A resolution was adopted
pIedging the convention to alb
stain from the use of fermented
wine at communion. A long and
energetic discussion was had on
the subject. No personal objection
was manifested on the resolution,
but doubt was expressed relative
to adopting the resolution as the
official action of the convention. -
1t was finally adopted by a vote OF
81 to 81.

The Mckay Libel Suit.

The jury in the libel suit of Nc
Kay vs.. Mcclure, editor of the
Philadelphia Times, which was
discharged on saturday evening,
after having been out for a week,
stood, according to the foreman,
eleven for conviction and one for
acquittal. After retiring for con-
sultation the jury on an informal
vote stood seven fo- acquittal and
five for conviction. A helf hours
consultation ensued, when six Of
those who had voted for acquittal
went over to the other side, and
on all the subsequent ballots but
one vote could be obtained for ac-
quittaI. Those who changed from
the defense did so owing to that
part of Judge Traver's charge to
the jury in which he said that the
proof offered by the defense must
be as broad as the charge made by
them against the prosecution.

NcU London, COn9s.) Ietegrdph.
A horrible story is afloat con-
corning Mr. Samuel Easter, of
Shelter Island, who recently sud-
denly died, as was supposed, at
Norwich, and whose body was
taken home for interment.
1t Is 10 the effect that the person
employed to fill the grave, while
doing so heard strange noises
coming from the coffin, as of a
man trying to break his way out.
The report continues that the man
surreptitiously fed, to return soon
after and hear the noise repeated;
that he finally filled up the grave
but said nothing concerning what
he had heard until some days af-
ter. The coffin was after a while
exhumed, and it was found that
the man was buried alive, the evil
dences of a fearful struggle for re-
lease from his awful fate being
painfully apparent.

Howa Bird Flies

The most prominent fact about
bird is faculty in which 1t diff
fers from every other creature ex-
cept the bat and insects-its pow
er of flying. For this purpose the
birds arm ends in only one long
slender finger instead of a full
hand. To this are attached the
quilts and small feathers (coverts)
on the upper side, which make up
the wing. Observe how light
all this is; the first place, the bones
are hollow, then the shafts of the
feathers are hollow, and finally,
the feathers themselves are made
Of the most delicate filaments, in
terlocked and clinging to one an
other with little grasping hooks of
microscopic fineness. Well, how
does bird fly? 1t seems simple
enough to describe, and yet it is a
problem that the wisest in such
matters have not yet worked out
to everybody's satisfaction. This
explanation by the Duke Of Ar
gyle, appears to me to be the best:
An open wing forms a hollow on
its under side like an inverted
saucer; when the wing is forced
down, the upward pressure Of air
under this concavity lifts the
bird up, much as you hoist your
self between the parellol bars in a
gymnasium. But he could never
in this way could get ahead, and
the hardest question is still to be
answered. Now, the front edge
Of the wing, formed of the bones
and muscles ofthe forearm, is rigid
and unyielding, while the hinder
margin is merely the soft flexible
ends of the feathers so when the
wing is forced down,the air under
it, finding this margin yielding
the easier, wound rush out here,
and, in so doing, would bend up
the ends Of the quilts, pushing
them forward out Of the way,
which, of course, would shove
the bird ahead. This process,
quickly repeated, results in the
phenomenon of flight.
