DANGEROUS OPERATION.
a Mans Intestines Taken Out and Five
Cuts sewed Up.
IN Y Tribunal

IN Il. 1rlDune.J
Thomas Callagan, a boatman twenty
two years OF age, was taken to Bellevue
Hospital. He had had a dispute over
drinks with Carl Theming, who stabbed
him in the abdomen with a sheath knife.
A superficial examination showed that
the knife had probably not cut any dan.
gerous vessel, and that the wound would
not prove to be serious. After Callagan
had been in his cot for several hours he
complained Of intense pain in the abdom-
inal region. His face became pinched, his
heart beat irregularly, and he had
spasms which indicated that peri
tonitis would soon set in. A consulta-
ton was held and the decision reached
that, to save the mans life, it would be
necessary to perform the delicate and dan
gerous operation of exploring the abdom-
inal cavity. As this operation in nearly
every case results fatally, Coroner Mes.
semer was called in and took the ante
norton statement of Callagan. The man
who stabbed him was also brought into his
presence and identified.
Callaghan was then put on a stretcher
and taken TO the operating room, where the
whole house staff and a number Of we'll
known physicians were gathered. He did
not show any fear. He is a stout, rugged
young man. with powerful muscular de-
velopment. After he had been anesthe-
tized the attending surgeon with a sharp
knife made an incision, following the me-
dian line in the abdomen, about six inches
In length. The wall of the abdomen was
found to be unusually thick. Then the in
testines were slowly taken out and exam
ined. Each section was wrapped in q
warm antiseptic cloth and laid on the out
side of the chest. This course was fol-
lowed until all that could have been in
jured by the knife thrust had been exam
ined. Five deep cuts that nearly severed
the intestines were found. They were
carefully sewed up as soon as discovered.
The patient became exceedingly weak
at this stage and injection of slim
ulants were given. He rallied from
the shock and the intestines were
put back into the cavity, which was first
thoroughly washed with an antiseptic So
luton. The incision in the abdomen wall
was stitched with catgut sutures. The ex-
ternal surface of the abdomen was united
WIN silver sutureS. so arranged anu IlgnI-
ened as not to tear the flesh in case the
patient should cough or strain. The oper-
alton lasted about two hours.
The patient was sent back to his cot, and
plenty of Stimulants and morphia were
given to accelerate the hearts action and
lessen the dangers from Inflammation. The
sick man did not rally as well as was ex-
pected after the operation, but subsequent
ly he revived and expressed himself as not
feeling in good condition. He frightened
for time and then sank rapidly, and it
was thought by DR.. Jarvis, the attending
surgeon, that he would die.

lylncennes (Ind.) letter.
The Ohio & Mississippi railway trair
had novel express package last night, in
the person OF an eighteen months'-Old
babe, which was shipped from Cincinnati
to Vincennes without any other attendant
than the kind officers of the train and will
ing passengers. The child was George
Solomon, and the boy was shipped to its
grandmother here for safe keeping, it,
parents having separated. The infant sat
up all the way, two hundred miles, never
cried, and when it reached Vincennes De-
pot Master Mechling bundled it up, and,
taking it in his arms, volunteered to carry
it to its street and number, as labeled. Its
grandmother was oterjoyed to receive it,
and paid its fare willingly, which was five
dollars and thirty cents. Conductor Nc
Collum says that the babe was the young

Yesterday and the day before we copied
into our columns from the Rochester IN. Y. }
Democrat and Chronicle a remarkable state
ment, made by J. b. Henion, NJ. D., gen
tleman who is well known in this city. In
that article DIR. Henion recounted a won
derful experience which befell him, and the
next day we published from the same paper
a second article, giving an account Of the
excitement in Rochester, and elsewhere,
caused by DIR. Henion's statement. 1t is
doubtful il any two articles were ever pub
lished which caused greater commotion
both among professionals and laymen.
Since the publication of these two arti-
cles, having been besieged with letters Of
inquiry, we sent a communication to DIR.
Henion and also to III. II. Warner & Co,
asking il any additional proof could be
given, and here it is:

There was published in the Rochester On.
W Democrat and Chronicle of the 3lst of De-
cember, a statement made by j. b. Henion,
NJ. D., narrating how he had been cured of
Bright's disease of the kidneys, almost in
its last stages, by the use of Warmers Safe
Cure. l was referred to in that statement,
as having recommended and urged DR. Hem
ion to try the remedy, which he did, and
was cured. The statement of DR.. Henion is
true, so far as it concerns myself, and be-
leve it to be true in all other respects. He

medicine and would do the same again to

MERELY THE BEGlNNING

Gould may vanquish the knights
of Labor in the present struggle, or
he may not. But even should ne
yanquish them, it does not follow,
as contemporary seems to think,
that the defeat would be the ruin
of the Order. The Order would
simply fall back and reform for
another and better organized at
tack. The struggle now going on
may seem quite an important affair
but really it is only the opening
sklrmish. If the knights suffer
defeat now, they may not next
wear nor the year after that. Even
if the Order of the knights of La
Dor were wiped out of existence,
another with the same aims would
arise in its place. The conflict is
irresistible. Capital will not Yield,
and labor will not be crushed, and
each will make a big fight and win
or lose a decisive battle before
1896.
But, talking of defeat Of the
knights of Labot, they have not
vet been defeated. nor have they
nut forth a 1.-THE of their strength.

For many centuries the Chinese
have employed the stink pot as a
weapon of warfare. They are still
doing it, and every week they cast
Frank Pixley and his smoking
vaporlzing Argonaut into the midst
of the community, and as it ex'
plodes, the noxious, nauseous, fou,
smelling fumes fill the air with the
stencil of the Chinese Six Com
panies and the feted odors of mo-
nopoly arguments.

the most noisome Of the lot. Pix

nounces as drunken tramps,

Billingsgate in high heaps. We
advise the Chinese Six, Companies
to chain up the raoid animal for a
while, as just now no one can tell
exactly whether he is bowling from
rage, fear or pain; the only domi'
nant sound that is readily distin,
eulshed is that he is bowling fol-
pay.
We submit to thinking mel If
they consider that this argument
can be logically reasoned out by
the blackguardism Of the slums o,
the resistless facts and Stats
tics which present to the earnest

There was time when Pixley
had a cool head to back his pen
and he was seldom caught mapping.
Since, however, George Gorham
tiayed him at Platt's Hall, openly
charged him with perjury, and Of
fered to prove it until the Peni-
Tertiary should yawn in front and
the turnkey stalk behind.
Pixley has been on the down
grade until he has now become the
scattering stinkpot which the Chi
nese throw at US every Saturday
morning. Pixley has for years
cracked his whip oyer the State of
California but at the Sacramento
Convention he, in common with a
number of other men of the rule

were sent to the rear by men fully

enough to be robbed and plundered
year after year by the monopolles
whose vassal Pixley delights to be
without haying the insulting asser-
ton made that the poverty is the
result of dishonesty on the part OF
the sufferers. Pixley got his start in
life as the paid defender of rob
bers and burglars, prostitutes and
