Divorced Ten Years After Death.

In 1874 John SUNNI ers, formerly a
private in the 109th RegiIn ent New
York Volunteers, died in the Ovid In
sane Asylum. He was a pensioner Mt
the time of his death. His mother,
Mrs. L. A. Summers a very respecta-
BILE and industrious lady residing in
Groton, applied for pension because
of his services and death. After his
proofs were in she was met by the OBJ
stacle that her son left wife who was
entitled to the pension. She consult
ed Judge A. P. Smith, of this village,
who brought an action in the Supreme
Court in her name to annul the mar
rage, on the ground that her
son was insane at tho time of
its solemnization. In this ac-
ton he succeeded in obtaining
divorce. The Pension De-
partmcnt refused to recognize di-
worse obtained ten years after the
death of the party. Judge Smith went
to Washington last July and argued
the case before the department, and
showed the Commissioner of Pensions
that the law was as he claimed. 1t was
then objected that there was no con-
nection between a bullet wound and
the insanity or consumption OF which
he died. Judge Smith went to Groton
and Ithaca and obtained medical testi-
mony satisfactory to the department.,
and last week Mrs. Summers received
notice that her pension was allowed,
giving her over 81, 900 back pension
and IS II month during life. While
the case settles an important question
of great interest, the friends of Mrs.
Summers Will feel n peculiar gratiii-
cation that so worthy lady has at last
secured justice in the face of such
serious and apparently insurmountab!e
obstacles. - Cortland Ne,0S.

rected. An incison was then made
on the opposite side of the leg for tho
purpose of operating upon the fibula,
or small bone of the leg. To reach
this bone it was necessary to cut down
upon its concave aspect. The pro-
tecting protractors were introduced as
before and wedge-shaped piece saw
ed out with the osteotome, but instead
of being cut at the base of the wedge,
as in the first instance, the two cuts
were made at the apex of it so that
they inclined away from each
other. The removal of two such
wedge-shaped pieces with any form
of a chisel is an absolute impossibility.
BY placing the cut ends of both bones
in opposition the deformity of the leg
was entirely reduced and the foot in
stead of being in line with the leg
was now at right angles to it, the
position required in walking. The
piece of rubber tubing which had been
tied around the thigh was now remov-
ed and the blood allowed to flow back
into the limb, and the wound cxamin-
ed to see if any hemorrhage would
take place. only slight amount OF
blood oozed out. and alter irrigating
the part operated upon by allowing q
stream of corrosive subllmate to flow
upon it from small rubber hose the
incisions were sewed up by DR.. Halo
well, with q cat-gut thread. A splint
of gutta percha was softened with hot
water and applied upon the posterior
and lateral aspects OF the limb and Sc
cured in this position by bandages.
The splint was hardened by the appli-
cation of asceptic ice water, so that 1T
would retain the cut ends of the bones
against each other until they became
grown together. A pad of gauze, pre-
pared with corrosive sublimate was
placed over each incision in the soft
parts and quantity of jute was
bound upon this with muslin band
age. This completed the operation on
the left limb.
A similar operation was performed
upon the right leg and the deformity
in the bones of both forearms were
also reduced by removing wedge
shaped pieces just above the wrist
Joint. After having removed Il wedge
it was found necessary for more ac-
curate adjustment to cut out an addi-
tional segment. This was easily ac-
complished by the use of the circular
saw. Altogether fifteen distinct di-
visions of the bones of the legs and
arms of the patient were made during
the operation. She bore the operation
remarkably well, and when she was
allowed to come out from under the
influence of the ether, she answered
questions readily. The reporter made
inquiries yesterday regarding the con-
dition of Madeline Picchiella, an | was
informed that she was doing finely,
that the reaction after the operation
was astonishingly slight, and that her
evening temperature forty-eight hours
after the operation was only 10l 2-1O.
Her recovery is thought to be certain.

A Country Doctor.

He was an excellent specimen of the
country doctors, self-reliant, self
sacrificing, working a great deal
harder for his living than most of
those who call themselves the labor
inc classes-as if none but those whose
hands were hardened by the use of
farming or mechanical implements had
any work to do. He had that sagacity
without which learning is mere in
cumbrance, and he had also a fair
share of that learning without which
sagacity is like traveller with good
horse, but who can not read the d.
rections ON the guide boards. He was
not man to be taken in by names.
He well knew that often times very
notwithstanding words mean very
grave disorders; that all degrees of
disorder are frequently confounded
under the same term; that run down"
may stand for fatigue of mind or
body from which week or a month
of rest will completely restore the
overworked patient, or an advanced
stage of mortal illness; that "seedy"
may signify the mornings state OF
feeling after an evenings over indul-
gence, which calls for a glass of soda
water and cup of coffee, or danger
Gus malady which will pack off the
subject of it at the shortest notice to
the south of France. He knew too.
we'll that what is spoken lightly of as
a nervous disturbance" may imply
that the whole machinery of life is in
deranged condition, and that evey

which to com municate with the con-
seriousness. DR.. Holmes IN The atlantic.

Would Cremation Tend 10 Protect
POisOnerss

The Vienna Municipal Council has
been occupied with the subject of ere
nation. A motion was debated for
erecting furnace on trial, and it was
stated that the cost of building fur
mace available tor the whole capital
would be 100000 tiorins. The motion
was not rejected, but adjourned. Gre
nation has many partisans in vienna,
and yesterday a debate was conducted
in serious and practical spirit,
Here, as elsewhere. however, it is
felt that the great difficulty lies in the
facilities which cremation would offer
to prisoners. 1t is agreed that in gen.
eral it would not be safe to allow Gre
nation unless an inquest into the
causes of death were held in every
case. and this really shelves the mat
ter until scientific analysis shall have
been simplified and cheapened.-Lon-
