UNUSUAL SURGERY.
A Bullet That Went Partly Through d
Mans Head Taken Quite Through.

A Bullet That Went Partly Through a
Mans Head Taken Quite Through.
Bruno Knorr, German, 81 years old,
says the New York San, is alive and con-
scious at Bellevue Hospital with bullet
hole through his brain and rub Der tube
in the hole The ends Of the tube project
both at the forehead and at the back of the
head. Knorr shot himself at Filty-secOnd
street and Second avenue on Thursday
last The bullet, of 30 calibre, pierced his
skull lust ON the central line between his
eyes. DR.. w. L. Fluher, one of the con-
sulting surgeons of the hospital, and DR..
Robert 2. Morris, the house surgeon,
prObed for the bullet. They found that it
had passed through the brain, taking a
course slightly upward and to the left. 1t
was impossible to remove the bullet by
the way which it had entered, and DR..
Fluher decided that the best thing to do
was to cut a hole through the skull at the
back of the head where the bullet was
lodged and get it out that way. The diff
Guilty was in determining the exact loca-
ton of the bullet. DR.. Fluher, by means
of the probe. got the general direction
that the bali had taken and formed his
Judgment by it. The hair was cut from
the back of Knorr's head, and a hole the
size of cent was cut through the skull.
The instrument used was a trephine,
which is a cylindrical saw with handle
like that Of a gimlet. 1t was placed
against the skull and worked round and
round until circular hole was cut. The
bullet was removed through this hole. A
rubber drainage tube was then passed
through the brain, its ends projecting an
inch through the hole cut by the bullet
and an inch through the hole made by the
trephine. The operation, which was wit
messed by nearly the whole staff of the
hospital, lasted four hours.
Knorr on Saturday and Sunday was
stupid and partially unconscious. At
times he managed to give monOsyllabic
answers to questions. Monday he was
much brighter, and could talk and feed
himself. His right arm seems to be para
lived. There is little doubt expressed as
to his ultimate recovery, as there is no in
fiammation or hemorrhage.

When the President returned from MS

If the Territories. Their sole aim IS to
advance their own interests, either pecu-
niarilv OF politically, or both. There are
scandals afioat respecting some one Of
them about all the time. Not very long
ago the Federal Judge of New Mexico
was in trouble. and now there are charges
pending against the Governor Of Dakota
Quite a number Of these Territorial ofhces
become vacant next spring, and there Is
some anxiety to see whether the Presl-
dent still entertains the opinion he eX-
pressed respecting appointments in Ter
ritories last summer. The first OF these
offices to become vacant is that oil sur
veyor-General of New Mexico. A resi-
dent of that Territory man thoroughly
competent to fill the place, and who has
the Endorsement of the leading citizens,
is an applicant. There are three or four
other applicants who have never been IN
New Mexico and who have no special Mt
ness for the place. But they are Endorsed
and urged by leading Senators. One OF
them is a special fayorite OF Senator Don
Cameron. VIII the President do what
his Judgment tells him is right, or will he
Weld to the demands of Don Cameron or
some other Senator?

Superintendent Ramsay, Of the Naval
Academy, accepted the position he occu-
pies with the idea that by strict discip-
line and prompt punishment of violations
of rules, he could suppress hazing at that
institution. Our dispatches this morning
indicate that he has not met with much
success. He has been in hot water with
the cadets on account of hazing, ever
since he became Superintend-
ent. Hazing is disgraceful business,
and it is remarkable that young men,
whose object is to get an education, will
cling to it. The attempt at hazing yester-
day was a failure because one OF the
fourth-class men who was attacked
showed more pluck and strength than
was expected. 1t is probable, however,
that he will have another chance to de-
fend himself,

Maine claims to be quite cotton manu-
featuring State. She has % cotton mills,
with 7S6,1S2 splindles, requiring an in-
vestment of $12, 987, 400. Last year these
mills made 142, 49,, $50 yards of cloth, be-
sides an immense amount of yarns and
other goods. Maine has to transport her
cotton over a thousand miles, and mas
climatic and other disadvantages to con-
tend with. and then has to send her goods
hundreds, and, in many instances, thou
sands of miles to market. Notwithstand-
ing all this, cotton manufacturing is fairly
profitable there. This ought to again i'm
press on the minds of the Southern people
the necessity of manufacturing at the
very least all the cotton goods they need
for consumption. There are very few
mills in the South that attempt to make
the finer grades of cloth. This ought not
to be so.

Our dispatches Tuesday contained an
account Of the rapid advance in the prices
of some of the ex-Nillard stocks last Mon
day and the excitement which the adj
vance caused in Wall street. The
''bears' have had everything their own
way in the stock market for months past.
They became so confident and oyerbear=
ing by reason of their continued success
that they even threatened to raid
jaw Goulds stocks. In fact, they
did make an attack on them and
succeeded in depressing them very con=
siderably. Stories were freely circulated
that Gould had been badly crippled in
speculatiOns of one kind and another, and
was not able to protect his stocks. Mon
days experience showed the falsity of
these stories. Gould proved himself not
only able to defend his own camp but to
successfully attack that Of the clears"
He is credited with engineering the plan
which sent the eX-Villard stocks up all
the way from five to forty points and cap
tured a large amount Of the cash which
the clears have been accommodating for
months past. Gould is still king of Wall
street, and has lost nothing Of his old
time skill and shrewdness in manipulate
ing the stock market.

Some time ago the city authorities of
Nashville decided to enforce the Sunday
liquor law and require all saloons to be
closed on that day. They were then de-
nOunced as being ''behind the spirit of the
age and the enlightened progress Of the
nineteenth century," A party of com
merciaI travellers held a meeting i'll that
city Sunday last, and being very dry, and
not being able to get the wherewith to
quench their thirst, passed a resolution
recommending the members of their assO-
citation to give Nashville a wide berth on
SUNDAYS. because they cannot ''obtain
the comforts of modern civilization"
there. 1t is feared the trouble was
with these drummers themselves. They
no doubt acted the part Of the foolish vir-
gins. A very little foresight and prudence
would have caused them on the previous
evening to lay in a sufficient quantity of
fusil oil to supply the comforts" so badly
needed during the Sabbath. AS the leader
in the meeting was the President of the
Union Distilling Company, however, the
dryness and indignation of the company
seems inexpIicable. He might have had
a whole car load of comforts shipped on
in advance, and yet here he was freezing
and fretting all day long over the degen-
eracv Of that unenlightened city.
