fearfully made to a foreigner. One
of them, looking at picture of a
number of ships, said: ''See what a

flock of ships was called fleet, and
that fleet of sheep was called flock.
And it was added, for his guidance in

Rebecca Samuels, twelve years old,
has been convicted at GAINESVILLE, S.
c., of the murder of Lucy Graham, a
six-weeks-old infant she was caring
for. She soaked the child in a pot of
concentrated I've. The only cause for
the crime is that the prisoner killed
the child to escape daily care for it.
This is the second crime of the same
kind she has committed within two
years. She appeared to be totally
unconscious of what was going on
during the trial, and twice went to
sleep in the dock, with her head rest
ing on her hands. She has an inno-
cent face, and is not, apparently, in
the slightest degree affected by the
result of her trial. She has not been
sentenced.

HIsLUNGs FILLED WITH WAITER
A Rare Surgical Operation Performed
in Washington.

From TIE Washington Post.
A very rare surgical operation was per-
formed with great success last Thursday
by Or. d. W. Bliss, in conjunction with
Or. Hammett, upon George r. Fowley,
the 2l-year-0ld son OF Mr.. L. G. Fowler,
Acting Assistant Postmaster General
The young gentleman was affected with
q troublesome cough during the summer,
aud two weeks ago he began to be con-
fined to his bed by a serious and oppres-
sIve Illness, which was yariously believed
10 be Inflammation or congestion OF the
lungs or consumption. Gradually the
chest became distended aud the lung
space filled up, so that the young man
was on the point OF sufOcatiou when, on
Tuesday. Or. Hammett, applying his ear
10 the patients chest, thought he detected
som thing like a breathing through water.
Dr.. Bliss was called into consultation,
and il was agreed that there was an acou-
mutation Of water IN the chest.
This was not a physical certainty, be-
cause the water could not be felt from the
outside, but IL was the diagnosis Of the
tao doctors in joint consultation Hydro
thorax they call the disease. meaning
'.water IN the chest" For this a difficult
and dangerous surgical operation was
necessary, without which the patient
could not live. The operation was per-
formed with kind Of pump known as
DelfOl's aspiratOr. A large needle was
inserted in one Of the rib spaces under the
left arm and an entrance was made clear
into the left lung. A small tube attached
70 the aspiratOr was put into this opening
and the pump was set 10 work. In a
short time - ounces, or about three and
a half PINS. of water were drawn of, and
the patient experienced immediate relief
and could breathe freely. The accumulated
water had crushed the heart from its
usual seat in the left oyerto the patients
right side, and had pushed the left lung up
under his chin.
The operation, which IS the result Of re-
cent discovery and was not known to sur
gical science a dozen years ago, was de-
cided success; but the chief merit claimed
by the physicians is r. accuracy Of the
diagnosis. which was the outcome Of a
great deal of weighing and balancing of
the doubtful symptoms. Immediately az
ter the operation the surgeons were able
to pronounce the patient out of danger
Two days before he1gas thought TO be be.
yond recovery. The operation is regarded
as one OF the most successful instances OF
special surgical treatment in difficult
cases ever known in Washington.

FLOOD ROCKS ANNIHILATIoN

Come on Next Wednesday.
40 From. tAs Ne,o York Times
Gen. John Newton, Of the United
States Engineers, who has supervised the
work thatis to raise He'll Gate out of the
way OF mariners and into nothingness,
went out there yesterday to view the final
pFeparations for the grand explosion. With
him was Lieut., Col. Walter Mcfarland,
Of the engineers, who had come on from
his home in New Haven to attend what
will probably be the last inspection Of the
subaqueous mine.
Crossing TO Flood Rock on one Of the
governments little tugs the officers
clataed themselves in oilskins, and, ac-
companied by Lieut.. Darby, who has
been in immediate charge Of the tunnell-
ing, Ehey descended into the galleries.
By the aid Of lamps they superintendent
the placing'of the last cartridges of rack
a-sock and dynamite. The cylinders con-
taini1g the deadly explosives are about s
lEclies IN circumference and VAR in
length according to the angularity Of the
points where they are placed. Then the
General and the Colonel inspected the con-
nsctions OF the wires that run from KEY
placed on the Astoria shore, and that are

combustion OF the 100000 pounds OF ex-

AS near as Gen. Newton could deter

houses shaken down about their ears or to
be- fusiladed by a shower OF stones will be
agreeably disappointed A few fragments

air, but their impetus will not carry them
thousand yards from Flood Rock. For
the sake of safety 20 one will be permit

A cone OF water will, for a few mo-
ments after the explosion, raise itself into

by the explosion. The broken rock, occu.

gerous channel by at least feet. Its
