A CLOGGED ARTERY.
a FungOus Growth Gets from the
Heart Into the Leg.


Heart Into the Leg.
New York Tribune.
Thomas F. Segur, of No. so Henry
street, Brooklyn, is now in the New
York hospital suffering from distur
bance in the arterial circulation which is
exceedingly rare, and which will event
ually necessitate a serious operation. On
July g, while walking over the Brooklyn
bridge to his office in the Western Union
building, Mr.. Segur was suddenly seized
with a violent pain in his leg, just below
the knee joint. He exclaimed to friend
who was walking with HIM: 81 wonder
if this is rheumatism; never had such
q pain before" At every step the pain
grew more intense, but with the assist
ance of his friand he was able to reach
the entrance to the Western Union build
ing, but as he attempted to ascend the
steps the pain overcame him and he fell
partly unconscious upon the sidewalk.
He was carried into the building, and as
the pain did not diminish an ambulance
was called and he was taken to Cham
bers Street hospital. The father of Mr..
Segur, who is with W. Z. Conner & Co.,
at No. II Broadway, was informed and
had his son removed to a private room
at the New York hospital the same day.
The pain in his leg continued, and it
was necessary to administer opiates to
give relief. His foot was perfectly cold
and no pulsation could be felt in the ar
teries below the knee. The cause Of this
strange condition was suspected, but it
was not until gangrene set in that the
real nature of the disease was finally set
tied. Mr.. Segur had been a sufferer
from heart disease and a small fungOus
growth had developed in one of the heart
valves. The action of the heart, in its
efforts to close the valve tightly, had
ruptured the new growth, and finally
torn it from its seat and, getting into
the circulating blood, it was carried
through the system into the femoral ar
terry and been wedged fast into some of
its branches The blood as itflowed past
the foreign substance became coagulatsd
at the point where it stopped until it
finally filled the artery and caused q
complete stoppage of the flow into the
! leg below the knee. This interruption of
the circulation prevented the lower leg
from being naurished, caused it to be
come cold as if dead, to turn black, and
finally to mortify and become gangren-
Gus, The only way to benefit the patti
ent = to remove the leg at the point
where the fungus growth became fast

operation will probably be undertaken
some time this week, and in the mean.
time there is considerable danger that
blood poiso'willn set in.

Agitation of the subject of protec-
ton to young girls, following the
publication in the Pail Mall Gazette,
is leading to the social ostracism Of
several well-known noblemen believ-
ed to be involved in the Gazette's sto-
ries, and whose names and acts have
been presented to the Archbishop of
Canterbury, Cardinal Manning and
other members Of the committee
who are now considering the proofs
submitted by the Gazette's secret
commission. Several of the promi-
nent men in society whose names
appeared upon the books of the no.
torious Mrs. Jeffries after the police
descent upon her luxurious estab-
lishment several weeks ago, have
disappeared from London, and it is
believed have come to America.
The organ of "the social purity
movement" states that four mem
bers of parliament have each offered
large sum towards the criminal
prosecution of the editor. The pa
per dares them to face the testimony
in open court and boldly declares
that all four will have to disappear
permanently from public life in the
event of such q prosecution.

Macon Telegraph.
Speaking of horses, those of you who
saw, seventeen of eighteen years ago, a
double span of matchless grays proudly
toss their heads along our streets, driven
by Jennings Clay, perhaps will be anx-
ious to know their fate. There was
nothing in the South to compare with
those horses. They were simply superb.
Tempest and Sunshine, Gray Eagle and
Flying Cloud were their names, and peo-
pie travelled miles to see Clay drive them
over the state. Those were the days of
Clay's prosperity. He made money cas-
lily, and he spent it like a prince. There
were no young Clays then for him to
look after and provide for, and lie di-
vided his love between his wife and his
horses.
Thousands of people at Saratoga mar
veled one day when Clay drove his four
INLAND over the course. He flashed
down upon them like a meteor. He
was the lion and the prince Of the hour,
and his horses the toast at the clubs.
Their fame spread, and every newspaper
in the land had something to say of the
