It's said on the best authority that there

I BLIND FROM BIRTH,
ms sIonr is fully nRsroRED.
a Boy Of Y1ftssa Sho Had never Seen the
Light ofDay Acquires the sea,s Of sight
by.a Surgical Operation on His Eyes.
A Miracle wrought BY science.

& An achievement Of surgical science
which, but for the fact that II was the re-
suit Of surgical science, and not Of other
means. would be leraldcd to the world as a
marvellous modern miracle, Is reported
from the State Institution for the Deaf,
Dumb and Blind, at Romney Hampshise
county. Henry McRea, blind from his
birth in 1870. was a pupil Of the institution
from Pocahontas county, and had been
ior the past three years, taking the same
course, Industrial and literary, which Is
open to alllthe blind boys Of the school.
All the recent meeting OF the Board Of Re-
gents Of the institution, the attention OF
Dr. ]. 4. L. Hardesty, Of this city, who is
member OF tue Board, and a specialist IN
diseases OF the eye as well, was in some
manner attracted 10 the boy, and alter a
Thorough examination. OF his eyes, be an
nounced his belief that the boys eyes
seould be operated upon 80 as to enable
him 10 sec. He was affected with double
congenital cataract from his birth, and
while bis optic, nerve was unimpaired, It
was shut out from the rays Of light.
After consulting his fellow Regents, It
was resolved that DR.. Hariesty should
undertake the operation. A room was
thoroughly darkened, and the operation
successfully performed with the most
gratifying success. The boys eyes were
opened, and the light being, gradually adj
mitted to the room, he became accis-
TONED TO It by degrees, and in a few days
was sent home to his overjoyed family
with as keen eyesight as any Of them.
The case was a most interesting one.
Young AIcRea had become so accustomed
to obtaining all his impressions OF the out
side world by other senses that at first hi
\ sight was Of no use 10 him. The most ID
infliar objects presented to his eyes were
not recognized untilth boy could toucli
them. He did not know key from q
book by the, sense ofsight alone, until be
become familiar with the difference be
tween the two objects. With 9 nearly
mature mind, his sense OF sight was as IN
educated and useless as that OF an infant
J whenit first comes into the world. Al
last accounts, however, Henry was learn
ing very rapidly to use his eyes, though
still relying 10 large extent upon lilit

The Men that Run the New Stlsby Have q
HouSe warming.
Some time since tile Nlsgara engine
company gave ballat Arion Hall for the
purpose ofraising dswith which to fix
up their house. "A handsome sum was
realized, which has been iudiciously exc
pended, and with some help from the city
the house has been so repaired and reno
yated that It Is now hardly recognizable
by the old timers. The house now pre-
sents an appearance that will compare
fayorably with that Of many Of the crack
houses In larger cities. AlIthe work was
done by the men in the house. The lower
or engine room is nicely papered and
wainscoted with white pine. In the
rear the stable Is resplendent in
new paint and whitewash a new
staircase, easy in It's accent, takes the
place OF the old, steep affair that used TO
be hard TO climb and took up space. The
new staircase Ia not enclosed as the old one
was, but has instead neat balastrade and
Is carpeted. "A sliding pole has been put
in, with q big cushion ut the bottom, that
permits the men to come down from the
upper story and land at the horses heads
in almost seconds time. Upstairs there
Is a large front room TO be used as o Sleep
ing and sitting room. II is handsomely
carpeted and has q very home like appear
ance. There are curtains, flowers, books,
neatly made beds and numerous little
conyeniences. The walls are prettily pa
pered. Inthe rear is the workshop and
bath rooms. All over the house every.
thing is as neat as q pin. All the metal
work is polished till 1t shines like a mirror,
and the boys are certainly entitled to tho
claim that they have the model house OF
the city.
Lalt evening the Committee on Fire
Department, several other Councilmen,
newspaper reporters and few outsiders,
accompanied Chief Cumming and Chair
man Hoffman and paid the company 8
formal visit. A very pleasant half hour
was spent In the upper room, during which
anumber. OF complimentary speeches were
made; they were all well deserved
speeches, too, and were evidently gratify-
ing to the men. Afterwards a thorough
inspection of'the housewas made. Every
one was pleased with everything that was
seen. Strangers who want TO see amodel
engine house should visit the Niagara.
The boys in fixing up were greatly assisted
by STendel& Co., the Wheeling Pottery
Co. and w. j. Dobbs.

Engaging in Prize Fight How Badly
tho oaieials are Deceived When They
Think rhsrs Wa. Prize Fight.

James Crowley, the alleged prize fighter
now in the Ohio county Jail, awaiting the
meeting of the Brooke county grand jury
at NEellsburg, has fully recovered from
the effects Of the slugRtng he received in
his encounter with Ted Dillon, at Golfers
station April 20, but he complains Of a
painful soreness in his side from his
fall on the railroad track when running
fromthe Sheriff Of Brooke county.
Jailer .Nichol speaks in the highest
terms Of Crowley's gentlemanly DISPOSE
ton aud good behavior. He says he
doesn't look or act any more like u prize
fighter than does u child; that he is d
quiet, inotIensive, good humored pris-
oner, with refined tastes and marks Of
good breeding.
Crawley denies that he and Dillon en-
gagged in . prize fight. He says they were
good friends, and merely met to settle a
dispute as to which was the best sparrer;
that there was no money up, no bad feel
ing, no anything that attends prize
fight; that they wore cloves, and that he
was not badly used up at all, but merely
looked SO from the amount Of blood on
him after the fight. He now shows no
marks Of any bruises. E7 y
It is said Crowley and Dillon wore kid
gloves with the fingers cutoff nearly up to
the,wrist. He thinks that the most ser
ious charge that Gamble brought against
him is assault and battery, and that he
cannot be convicted Of this, as the desire
to infictiniury or pain necessary to legal
assault was entirely absent.
So far the prisoner has no lawyer. dc
Is out Of funds, but expects his brother, il
Pittsburgh, to send him money and retain
an eminent criminal lawyer Of that city to
defend him. He is a yonog man only owe,
from Ireland q few months. Persons who
saw the fight sayit was a scientific and
gamy meeting, more interesting 70 spec
