A Tube In tile Mans Brain.

NEW YORK, January 2S.-On Thurs
day morning last, Bruno Knorr, young
German, attempted suicide at the corner
of Fifty.second street and Second avenue
by shooting himself through the forehead
with French self cooking revolver.
The bali entered the certe Of the fore.
head. An officer took him to the Fifty.
first street station and placed him in the
back room. -.
He could only say II have no money"
and become unconscious. An ambu-
lance was telegraphed for and he was
taken to Bellevue hospital with portion
of his brain oozing out of the wound.
DR.. Fluher, on examining the wound,
decided to make an attempt to find the
bullet. The skull at the entrance of the
wound was trepanned in the ordinary
way, and it was found that the probe,
which was inserted towards the back OF
the head, vent 80 far that it was decided
to make counter opening with the tre-
phine opposite the point Of the probe.
When the opening had been made the
bullet was found lying in the brain. just
below the opening in the skull. Then
(the bullet having been removed)
drainage tube was passed through the
brain in the track of the ball and left
in place. The tube passes throug h the
head and projects both front and back
about an inch. Since the operation the
patient has been constantly improving,
although stupid and semi.unconscious. !,
When spoken to be opens his eyes, and
when asked if he wishes water can say
yes or no. The surgical particulars OF
this interesting case we're refused at
Bellevue Hospital last night, as DR.. Flu
her wishes to write full and complete
history of it, to be read by him before
the New York Surgical Society at the
conclusion of the case.
The hospital surgeons hope to save his
life and are doing all in their power to
do so. His symptoms are watched con-
stantly and his temperature is taken
every two hours. This is the first opera
ton of the kind ever performed. The
hair was shaved off from around the
place where the trepanning was to be
done. The instrument used is small, and
has sharp teeth. 1t is made Of highly
polished steel, and cuts hole about the
size of cent through the skull in Won
derfully short time. The operation oc-
cupied about four hours lime, and waa
witnessed by large number of the sur
gical staff of Bellevue Hospital.
A friend of Knorr said last night that
he formerly lived at No. PAP East Fifty
second street, and that last fall he went
into the country to find work. He kept
company with young girl. When he
returned to New York he found that the
girl had been keeping company with
another young man named Frank Des'
mond. This, together with his being oul
of work, so preyed upon his mind that he
attempted to kill himself:

Five Cents a Day.

The cumulative power of money is a
fact very generally known but not gene
rally appreciated. There are few men
living at the age of sixty-fve hanging on
to exiatence by some slender employ
ment, or pensioners, it may be, on the
bounty of kindred or friends, but might,
by exercising the smallest particle of
thrift, rigidly adhered to in the past,
have set aside q respectable sum which
would materially help them 10 maintain
their independence in their old age. Let
US take the small and Insignificant sum
of FIVE cents, which we daily pay to have
our boots blacked, to ride in car the
distance We are able to walk, or to pro-
cure bad cigar we are better without,
and see what its value is in the course of
years. We will suppose boy of fifteen,
by blacking his own boots or going with
out his cherished cigarette, puts by five
cents day; in a year saves $1S.35,
which, banked, bears interest at the rate
of five per cent. per annum, compounded
biyearly. On this basis, when our thrift

is surprising. He has accumulated no
less sum than S3,S93.17. A scrutiny of
the progress Of this result is interesting.
At the age of thirty our hero had 1895;
at forty, 1887; at fifty Sl,667; at sixty,

annual interest more than equals his
original principal; in twenty.fv years
it is more than double; in thirty-6ve
years it is four times as much in forty.
five years it is eight times as much, and
the last years interest is $50, or ten and
half times as much as the annual amount
he puts by. The actual cash amount
saved in fifty years is s9l2.50, the differ.

That night We heard a cat somewhere,
and finally located old Tom up in the
wires of the spring mattress, and We had
to take the bed all to pieces to get him
out, and he had his feet and legs all done

death.

WHY He ATTRACTED ATTENTION.
A slightly absent minded but highly re.
spectacle gentleman near the suburbs of
Columbia started out for stroll yester-
day, aud after getting short distance
from home he discovered that he was at

to behold that he had on his best coat

pants, aud it was his red flannel drawers
which attracted 80 much attention. The
gentleman hastily escaped to cover, and

felt Is made is that Of the European mare,
an animal which | have never seen in
America. 1t is like our rabbit, but is
three or four times as large, and would,
perhaps, weigh from six to twelve pounds.
Tie hats made from this fur are not as
smooth and flexible as our best quality
of felt hats, but cost only half so much /;
some of the cheapest costing about fifty
cents. The hare is very common ami.
NAL, and is often found in the market for
sale, as an article of food, though not in
such numbers as the rabbits of Balti-
more.
In mentioning this little contributor to
the hat industry, I do not mean, Of
course, to suggest that it has any percept-
ible bearing npon the great fur trade of
Leipzig, which comes from Russia on the
one side, and America on the other.
Much felt is sent here from America,
where it is prepared for market and re.
shipped for the American markets.
The cost Of paper and printing here is
comparatively small. Books are accord
ingly cheap, and two establishments in
the city claim to have as large book
trade as can be found anywhere.
In the city are two large parks-"Jo-
hanna Park" and "Rosenthal," and in
the latter a geological garden of no
special merit. These parks afford pleas
ant drives and walks, and in each are
fine groves, consisting principally of
white oaks. Not far from here is an oak

the most prominent were ex-Governors Joel
 Parker, Joseph D. Bedle, George B. Mcclellan and George c. Ludlow, ex-Congressman
 Miles Ross, Chancellor Runyon and other prominent members of the New Jersey bar. At il o'clock the militia headed by Grand Marshal Yard fell into line and marched by the grand stand which had been erected in front of the court house for the use of the notables and invited guests. The stand was well filled and the fine marching of the troops elicfted numerous outbreaks of ap- plause along the line of march. It was es- hmated that fully twelve thousand persons were in line and as much as four times that many people witnessed the parade. The pro cession marched through the principal streets of the town to the strains of inspiring music and then proceeded to the place where the unveiling was to take place. After the open ing prayer the president of the commission having charge of the monument presented it in few well chosen remarks to Governor Abbett, who responded at length accepting 1t in the name of the State. The monument was then unveiled amidst the booming of cannon and the music of the band

TAKEN FOR AN EARTHQUAKE.

A Terrific Explosion of Nitro.GIy-
 cer1ne That Was Felt Many Miles.
 TOLEDO, O., Nov. 13.-At 10:30 this morn ing terrific shock shook buildings, shatter- ed glass and created panic in many of the schools in this city. It was caused by the explosion of the nitro -glycerine factory and storehouse of A. J. Rummell & Co.,, located about four miles up the river outside the city limits. Five men were at work in the establishment at the time and, singular to relate, rone were killed, but all were more or less injured. The result of the explosion in the vicinity is simply terrible. Large trees were twisted off, the ground torn up and every thing presents a deplorable scene. Windows were shattered in the House of Refuge near by. In Perrysburg, five miles distant, win dows were broken, the school house wall cracked, blackboards thrown to the floor, and everybody rushed out of the building. The shock was felt at Detroit and various Canadian points across the lake and even as far east Cleveland. In each of these dis tant places it was supposed to be an earth quake shock.
 There were twenty thousand pounds of dynamite and three thousand pounds of pow der stored in the magazine. Rummell & Go. lose about $10,000; no insurance. The damage throughout the city will foot up many hundreds of dollars.

BROOKLYN INDEPENDENTS
To Make Their Organization Perma


 BROOKLYN, Nov. 13.-The Independent Republican committee of one hundred held meeting tonight at the Academy of Music. The chair was occupied by MT. Maxwell, who said the question to be decided was whether the organization should be permanent. They had stood together during the campaign and now that was over he was in favor of making it a permanent organization for the holding the balance of power between the two par ties MT. Beecher said he also was in favor of making the organization permanent. In local matters he was a Repub- Iican, but in national matters he was now Democrat Applause. l He believed that Cleveland had been elected by the Independents and every man who had helped to put him in the presidential chair was bound to support him until he had done something to forfeit their support. They should keep the organization intact ready to be summoned at the sound of the trumpet. Mr. George R. Turnbull moved the appoint ment of committee of twenty-five to devise a plan for permanent organization. The matter .-as adopted and the meeting then ad- journed.
