PATCHING A SKULL.
A Young girls Treatment for Wounds Given
Her by Her stepmother.

NEW York, Jan. ia delicate surgical
operation was performed yesterday afternoon
on Miss Katherine Ratzer. A portion of her
skull was removed for the purpose of pre-
venting her loss OF reason or fatal results.
Her brain trouble was caused by her being
struck over the head three years ago with
chair-rung by her stepmOther. Three skill
ful surgeons performed the operation, but it
will be several weeks before il is known
whether it was successful.
The patient, who is very pretty girl OF
nineteen, is the daughter of Felix Ratzer
wealthy resident of Jersey CITY. Her mother
died when she was very young, and most of
her childhood was spent with her grand
father. On returning TO her fathers
house her trouble began. According to her
story, in February, 1885, after some words
with Mrs. Ratger, and while she was stoop-
ing to pick up stool for her, the stepmother
picked up a chair and struck her over the
head. Running down stairs Catharine
tainted in the arms of her grandfather. When
she recovered the latter was asked what the
trouble was, and she said, THAT woman has
killed me-" Mrs. RatZer is reported as say
ing: Eyes, / have got my revenge on you"
The wound healed after SIX weeks, but from
the time OF the blow the girl suffered from
acute headache, and at the end of year the
wound burst. She was obliged to give up
work. and hunted up her uncle, Joseph Rat
yer, in this city, with whom she has since
lived. Suit for $4,000 damages was COM
menced against Mr.. RatZer, and under the
law her husband was made defendant. The
jury gave the girl 81 600 damages after the
case had been on trial for three DAYS. The
excitement of the trial increased Miss
Ratzers nervousness until it was feared that
she might become insane. Her relatives con-
suited DR.. Edward Spitzka, who recon-
mended trepanning as the only preventive
against death or insanity.
DR.. Bolt performed two operations. The
first was on May Il. Then he found cicatrix
two inches long, and with the assistance of
DIR. Wright, after administering an an;es-
thetic and cutting open the scalp, removed
some old and hardened matter, which had
become attached 10 the bone. A second
operation was performed June :, and Sec
ond piece of foreign matter removed. This
furnished temporary relief but acute neu-
ralgia followed and Miss Ratzer was seized
with commissions.
1t was considered that chronic injury to
the bone had resulted from the blow and
possibly an abcess has formed between the
interior of the skull and the brain MEM
brane, which made experimenting danger
Gus. A consultation was held yesterday
afternoon at the residence of the young wo-
man, and il was decided that the hopeless
condition of the patient justified the expert
ment. Miss Ratzer was placed under the in
fiuence OF ether, and was on the operating
table over two hours. A portion of the skull
was removed, and the seat of the disorder
carefully examined and the diseased matter
removed. The opening was then covered
with an antiseptic dressing.

I'm the heir of the centuries gray.
Strong as ocean, and uncontrolled;
Born 10 a heritage vast and grand,
My lim6S are east in heroic mold.
Ny forehead is crowned with eternal SNOW,
And the tropical waters play at my feet;
stretch out my hands 10 clasp the sea,
And my pulses thrOb to the waves wild beat
er my brawny bosom that's barred TO the sun,
When l rise in my might aud my foes dispel.
Magnanimous still, no monarch own.
But hold all equal as children of time;
I'm bound by no creed-at all affairs | kneel,
And worship the Father, eternal, 81 olime.
Through struggle I'm strong, and proud OF my
strength;
I'm proud of my blood, that does tingle and
thrill;
I'm proud OF the progress I've made in my youth;
OF my triumphs, my wealth, my talent, and

Do you guess me? Then shout out my name
Awaken the echoes OF forest and hill;
I'm round you, about you, and over you all,

The HeadIess Mystery.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 2l.-The entire
detective force in the city has been engaged
in endeavoring to find clew to the identity
of the man whose fearfully mutilated body
was found on Monday night buried in tan
bark near "Helrs Half Acre" Their efforts
have proved futile, as well as those OF the
Coroner TO discover the head, which had
been chopped off from the trunk and Sc
creted. There are many theories as TO the
motive of the murderer, and the character
of the murdered man; but absolutely moth
ing tangible has developed AL the persons
reported missing have been accounted for.
The generally accepted theory is that the
victim was a stranger. and that he had either
been enticed into a den of vice. robbed and
then killed, or that he had met his fate at
the hands of the lover of some woman OF
the town with whom he had associated. 1t
was rumored that an ex-conyict named Mar
tin had suddenly disappeared after receiving
his wages one Saturday night, and that he
was the dead man, but an investigation
proved that Martin is still living. AT late
hour tonight il was learned that the detect
iyes think the victim is Frank Arnold. col

weeks ago.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Charles 4. Cloves, of Chicago shoots Him.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-CharleS a. Cloves, a
wealthy young married man. shot and killed
blanche Grey" in disreputable house at
No. AL South Clark street this morning and
then killed himself.
Cloves father died at Springfield about a
year ago and left him a fortune estimated at
100000. For several years he has spent
much time in Chicago and made many ac-
quaintances, spending money freely. He
was very handsome man, of strong build,
fine eyes and rich dark hair and mustache
His mother now lives in Hyde Park, and
with her is Cloves young wife, whom he
married only three months ago. The girl
whom he shot had been an inmate of the
house two years. She was very pretty, with
a wealth of black hair and large. lustrous
eyes She had petite form and dressed in
good taste. She is described as having been
quiet and temperate. At the house 1t was
said that she had been Cloves mistress for
six years. He associated with her in Peoria
and Springfield and brought her to Chicago.
1t is said that the direct cause of the shoot
ing was the girls upbraiding him for his
marriage. The wife whom Cloves married
short time ago is ssid to be a most estimable
lady. and the shame and horror of the occur
renee utterly Frustrated her, and fears are
entertained for her life.
There is little doubt as to the cause of the
tragedy. Cloves had lived with Blanche for
nearly six years About three months ago
he was married in New York, and since then
he and his mistress have had frequent quar-
rels The girl was known only under the
name of Blanche Grey" and very little is
known of her previous history. She has
lived at No. AL Clark street for about two
years. during which time she was often alb
sent for several weeks with Cloves,
who had brought her TO Chicago
from Springfield, Ill. \ reporter called
at Cloves late home at 8 o'clock this morn

Cloves, accompanied by her uncle, mid
dle-aged gentleman drove 10 the Central
Police Station, where the exact facts were
learned. Entering the carriage they were
driven quickly away. AS showing the rela-
tions between Cloves and his mistress, it is
stated that in her room life-size portraits of
the woman and Cloves hung upon one of
the walls, and upon the table and dressing
case stood bits of costly bric-a-brac
which be had given her at various times.
