on the second floor front, and roarea ut
Cheesenan IN the adjoining apart meut:

responded Cheeseman.
Wien Cheeseman came out OF abe
back room Vausyckle arose from the
desk Oh which he was resting his wrath
shook MS cowhide aIis enemy. The
inst rument in Vansyckle's hands caus-
ed Cheeseman to stop and laugh in
stead Of fleeing with terror. Fansyck-
le's rage knew no bounds and throwing
down the cowhide he drew Il revoIwr,
aimed and fired at Cheeseman, who
WAS but a few.teet distant.
Cheeseman threw up his left .aem and
the bullet passed through bis coat sleeve
and struck his breast two brches above
the heart. Lheessman staggered but
o o recovered his presence of mind aud
and closed with Vansyckle. In a hand
to-ha1d struggle the lawyer was at G
great disadvantage. sAppreciatipg this
and fearing that Cheescman would WEST
the revolver from his grasp and then
shoot him, he threw the weapon across
the room. Cleeseman thep hurled his
opponent to the floor, knelt upon his
arms, ana pounded his face almost t. a
pulp.
The pistol shot and E~ansyckle's cKies
brought Cheeseman's SONS and printers
down, who were working up stairs, and
d1ew a large cEoyd of people from tie
street Cheeseman was cra2ed.with r,ge
and it was with difficulty that he vas
dragged from his aptagoni5t. Cheese
man afterward said that he thought he
was fatally wounded by the ball and he
determined to kill VansysAle if his
strength lastel.-
Chccseman then went to the Mayors
Office and had a warrant issued for the
arrest OF Vansyckle FOR shooting WITH in
tent to kill. A few minutes later Van
svckle was led into the mayors Office,
and turning to Cheesemsny said. q
"Thank GoG / didn'5-kiH YOU"
Cheeseman replied: "Wel, ! am

Vansyckle is now under the physicians

ARARE OPERATION.
Sarah Smith. n Dwarf I'm the Aims
house, Successfully Operated Upon.


Philadelphia Press.
The Muller modification Of the Porro
operation, substitute for the Cesarian
operation, was successfully performed at
the Almshouse yesterday on Sarah
Smith, dwarf, aged thirty-6ve years
The woman is only fifty one inches
in height. although her parents were
of ordinary stature. The operation
was performed about noon Yesterday
by DR.. W. 81. Parish, assisted by the
members OF the obststric staff-Drs.
Mnsser, Sryker, Montgomery Kest.
ing, Bernardy and Clara Marshall.
Among a number of distinguished
physicians present we're Professors 5.
D. and s. w. Gross, Drs. Elwood
Wilson and Albert II. Smith.
Ether was administered and an incl
cison was then made into the abdomen.
The child and uterus we're removed.
The whole operation was performed in
an hour. The mother was thep given
morphine hypoder .nically, which pre-
vented her from feeling any pain from
the operation. the child is under or.
dinary size, and weighed six pounds.
At ten o'clock last night both mother
and child we're doing well, and the
physicians are satisfied that both will
live.
Six Cesarian operations have been
performed in hospitals in this country,
during which all the mothers died,
while several of the children lived.
The operation of yesterday, however,
is only the fourth of the kind ever per.
formed in this country. OF these all
the children have lived. One woman
lived twenty six hours and then died
from wilful disobedience; another died,
but was in state of utter exhaustion
before the operation was performed
Two other cases occurred in this city
two years ago, and both mother and
child lived.
