Mr.. John Dubois, who had such
narrow escape from death last Friday,
was on the streets Saturday. That
about half OF a board pie nearly twenty

few bruises seems remarkable.

A very difficult surgical operation was
performed at West Wheeling yesterday
on the person of Miss Mary Hammer,
lady about thirty years OF age. About
one year ago an abcess or tumor began
to form in her stomach. Since that
time she has been under the constant
care of Drs. Fisher and WAGNER, oil
Bridgeport. At nine different times
since then has she been opened, ana
at each time from nineteen TO twenty
pounds of matter and water taken from
her. Each time the fluid was thicker
and the operation more severe, until
finally the doctors, as well as the lady,
concluded that it was only question OF
time till the case would prove fatal, un-
less the tumor or abscess was removed.
Having determined upon this, Drs. Al
len, Bates. Baird and son, Wilson, liar.
desty and Hoge, OF Wheeling, and Drs.
Cook and Capehart, of this side, were
invited by the attending physicians,
Fisher and WAGNER, TO witness and as
sist in the operation of opening the
stomach, cleaning the bowels and re-
moving the cause of the trouble. Ac-
cordinglv they all gathered yesterday
afternoon at two o'clock, and an open
ing was cut on the stomach of about
eight inches in length, and a tumor
larger than a mans head was taken
from the afflicted wOman's abdomen.
When the patient recovered she felt
very much relieved and asked what
had been done 10 her, as she felt so hol-
low. This tumor had grown so large
that it was pressing her ribs. up
against her heart, and she could not have
lived much longer without an operation
of the kind performed yesterday. The
tumor and other matter taken out by
the doctors yesterday weighed forty-one
pounds. The tumor alone weighed
eighteen pounds. They all feel very
well pleased with the operation, and
have strong hopes OF the recovery OF
the patient.
