DANGEROUS SPORT.
An Indiana Cirps Misfortune.

indianapolis Sentincll
DR., Peck, Of the surgical institute,
yesterday performed a surgical opera
tion on the leg Of a young girl by the
name Of Jordon, from Illinois, sent
here for treatment. The bones of
both her legs will have to be partially
removed, and the little sufferer will
have to submit to two painful opera
tions. The cause Of her affection is
from jumping the rope, pastime
engaged in generally by young girls,
resulting in necrosis, or death Of the
bone. The doctor stated to reporter,
in this connection, that similar cases
were constantly occurring from this
same cause, but more frequently
resulting in necrosic of the spine,
and that there has not been a
month passed but more or less cases
Of this character come to the institute
for treatment. He says that rope
jumping produces continuous concus
sion on the joints which impringe
upon the bone, causing at the first
stage periostetis, and finally resulting
in the death Of the bone. He thinks
that parents and teachers should be
warned Otthis dangerous sport, and

Tur ATTIC STATE CONVENTION
such parliament of the people will
robablv be seen again IN our days; at least
r. for delIberative purposes. 1t was made
f+housands, and therefore a mob, and be-
va q mob was controlled by the few The
friction to one member to 20) democratic
|+os is a wise one, and will furnish q con
,ontion of no small magnitude, even then.
When the number is restricted, the really
representative men of a county come for

1oarty is in front and held by hands able

But it is highly proper to make one re-
mark in which we echo the opinion Of del
egates from all sections. One pernlclous
n~rsctice which has grown up In our con
~yentions should be frowned upon, and ut
terly be broken up. 1t is the mob 1asnlon
Of pretending to vote for one man, ana

choice. 1t is only necessary to hold a 1e"

lions candidates, with instruction to con-
~centrate for a given man, by a%rtfully arran-
oed impromptu changes, to cause the hock,
Rerd-like. to Jump over the wall and follow
snit. and the work is done. In that way
the settled convictions of the people, the
work of many months in the press, the
views of the county conventions, the nigh
sst needs of the State, are all sacrificed to
the petty arts of a few tricksters. very
nearly the same set of men practice these
