men with wounded livers do not live, and that his
liver is wounded there can be no question. Tho
direction which the ball took, as indicated by the
examination by Surgeon General Waes's finger,
clearly shows that it passed through the liver, or
at least through the lower lobe of it. But there is
luck in medicine well as in other things and we
are now largely hopeful account of General Gar
fields wonderful luck. He certainly does not pro-
pose to die, and his dear good wife does not intend
to let him die"

HOUSE OF SECRETARY BLAINE.
lBY TELEGRAPH THE rRIBUNE.i
WASHINGTON, July G.-While the detectives
gagged in investigating the movements of Guiteau
prior to his attempt upon the life of the President
are very reticent in regard to their discoveries
facts leak out from time to time. 1t has been dis
covered that Gutcau watched tho White House
almost constantly last week. Friday night he was
| on the watch when the President left the Execu-
tive Mansion and went to the house of Secretary
Blaine in Fiftcenth-si., whittier Guiteau followed
him. Gueau ascendcd the steps of Secretary
Blaines house and remained there some time within
few feet of where the President and
the Secretary of State were sitting in
tEe par'or engaged in conversation. When
they lett the house together and went over to the
Executive Mansion which is three or four squares
distant, Guitcau followed them. The clerk of the
Riggs House where Guitcau lad registered on the
previous day Thursday, says that Guteau did
not return to the hotel to sleep that night and il is
quite probable that he spent the hours between the
time that he followed the President back to the
White House and the early morning hours of Fri
day III wandering about the streets in sttn,. upon
bench in Lafayctte-square opposite the Execu-
tive Mansion 1t is said that Gutcau

A 81. Louis Man Who Could Have

ST. Louis Republican.
An interesting surgical operation was
performed by DR.. Hoigen on Friday last
at private house, the subject being
well known real estate agent OF this city,
a pound of atipose tissue being taken
from the back OF his neck. The patient
is very large man whose weight is now
249 pounds. fhe fat had begun to gather
in such heavy folds about the neck as to
becoms source Of constant annoyance,
the heal having been crowded forward
and held in an unbecumlng position The
skin was divided at right angles, 80 that
the wound made a sort of cross from be-
meath which all the underlying fat wa,
taken. The piece Of flesh is said to have
weighed exactly one pound.
The patient took nothing to sustain
him in the trial, and did not appear to
sulier much, even when the PARIS were
being cauterized to prevent formation oi
a new tissue. The wound being closed
up and bandaged, he lighted cigar,
ordered the pound OF flesh to be cast into
the sewer, and sat quietly down to read
the paper. Only few drops Of blood were
lost and no serious consequences are
expected. In fact, the patient may be
seen taking his customary walks, and
appears to enjoy life as much as ever. He
expects to be able 80 attend to business

ing taken not to catch cUid
