A BOYS PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Running the Rib Of an Umbrella into
His Nose to the Brain.

His Nose to the Brain.
From the Nep' York Times
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.-August Muller,
the son, IA years old, of DR.. August F.
Muller, of 475S Green street. Germantown,
is lying at his home in an unconscious con-
dition, suffering from peculiar and in all
probability fatal accident. On Monday
of last week August carried an umbrella to
school with him, and at the close of the
afternoon session he raised the umbrella
and tossed it high into the air He did this
several times, catching it by the handle as
it descended. One of the ribs of the UNI
brella was broken. just before reaching
his home the little fellow gave the umbrella
a final toss and stood waiting for 1t to come
down.
AS it descended he leaned backward with
his head bent over. The broken rib entered
the boys nose, passed up through the nos
tril, passed through the thin partition. and
touched his brain. He began to bleed at the
nose, and his companions became alarmed.
August assured them that he was not
hurt and went home. His mother stopped
the bleeding; but the boy did not tell her
how the accident occurred. About o'clock
he began to complain of a severe headache,
and he was put to bed. In the morning he
was found TO be unconscious, breathing
heavily and moaning as if in pain. Several
doctor, and when he found that they had
no effect on the unconscious boy. he
applied more severe ones without eff ct.
Other physicians were called, but the lad
could not be restored, and be lay in a coma
tose condition until Friday afternoon, when
he became delirious. For eight hours the
physicians labored with him, and finally,
by the use of powerful aniPsthetics, he was
quoted, but still remained in an uncon-
scious condition. The little fellow has
taken no food since his accident, and is in
very weak state.
The doctors all agree that an operation
will have to be performed in order to save
his life, but they are undecided whether or
not to attempt one il the boys present
weakened condition. They concur in the
| opinion that the broken rib OF the UNI
brella penetrated the brain. A hole will
have to be made in the boys forehead and
the pus removed. The boy was in the same
unconscious condition tonight.

STRIKES A LOSING GAME.
The Vacant Places at Indianapolis
Nearly all Filled.

nearly all FllleQ.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 27.-No material
change developed in the switchmen's strike
to-day. Business has nearly resumed its
old time activity with the railroad as the
new men become familiar with their duties.
None of the strikeas have thus far
offered to resume work and fully
two-thirds of their places have already been
filed and applications for work continue to
be made. The strikers seem to be getting
further away each day from the realization
of their object, and unless the railroads re-
ceive a setback from some unexpected
quarter, it looks as though the strikers will
be compelled to seek employment elsewhere.
POLICE ON DUTY.
Police are still kept on duty at the prin-
cipal yards and crossings, but their labors
consist solely in walking about.
A committee from the strikers met for
conference last night and counseled to-
day with individual engineers, firemen and
brakemen, but it cannot be learned that
they secured anything more than sympa-
thy. No promise of assistance in the way
of taking up their cause was held out by
either engineers or firemen.

Plenty of Geyety but a Lack of Coun-
try Cous lns-Death in a Den.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. 27.-Charleston
is having most of the gala week fun to her
self this week, but there is no let up in the
fun. The arrivals from the interior are
very sparse compared with last week. The
programme to-day included an exhibition
drill of the successful militar7 companies
on Marion square, race at wagner park
and a erOtesque parade tonight The
weather is superb and the illuminatoIs on
the principal thoroughfares are the most
magnificent ever seen here. The one thing
lacking to complete Charleston's happiness
is the country cousin, who does not seem
to be here in any considerable number.
DEATH IN A DEN.
Since Charleston has had three papers the
city has been filed with travelling printers.
At daylight this morning the dead body of
William MCGOWAN, a printer, was found
covered by straw in low den in Elliot
street known as 1.-The Douglass Dem" and
which has been the scene of three or four
murders. MCGOWAN had gone to the place
the night before. and in company with
two other printers had gone to
sleep in the straw. His compan-
ions we're L. H. King and I. Faulkenberg.
The den in question had been II resort for
such or the fraternity as were elCner TOO
drunk to go home, or had no home. When
King and Eau kenberg awoke this morning
they found MCGOWAN dead. The coroner
was called in, but there is no suspicion of
foul play. The man evidently died
of alcoholism. MCGOWAN was about AZ
years old He belongs to a respecta-
Bile family in Atlanta, Ga, where
he has brother now lfviag. After leaving
Atlanta he Travelled through the north.
Reaching Charleston about seven years
ago settled here and married very estim-
able widow by whom he had one child.
His one besetting sin was indulgence
in liquor. Soon after his mar
riage he left here and went
to Savannah, Augusta. Columbia, Gresnville,
Atlanta and other places. He returned here
last September after an absence of several
years Whisky finally got the best of him
and hence his death. His relatives in At
lanta have been Informed He will, how
ever, be buried by the typographical union.

SANFORD HAS A SCARE.
A Suspicious Case ofFever Discovered
at Mellonville.

A Suspicious Case ofFever Discovered
at Mellonville.
SANFORD, FLA, Nov. 27.-Last night
Sanford was startled by the report that
DR.. Caldwell had discovered a case of vel
low fever at Mellonyille, a suburb of San
ford. The facts, as near as can be learned,
are these: Since early in the month two
families, named OglesbY and Bennett, had
bad some sickness among themselves and
neve. called i'll n doctor. They all got we'll
except young Bennett, who seems to have
been the sickest of any, and DR.. McRae was
called in and. not liking the symptoms re-
uuested Dr. Caldwell 10 look at the patient.
He did SO, and Immediately pronounced it
yellow fever DR.. McRae, the attending
physician, does not lean to this opinion, and
DIR. Herndon, one of the oldest and most prom
lnent physicians, emphatically denies that
IT is yellow fever, and prouounces it swamp
fever This opinion is shared by seven
eights of the people here. The Oglesby and
Bennett males are fishermen and hunters,
and spend the greater portion of their time
10 the swamps around Mellonville.
- The weather previous to the frost on
NOV. 70 was rainy, nasty weather, and just
such as would develop the cases Of fever
designated by Dr. Herndon. There is little
or no alarm here, and the only thing feared
" that some of the counties will foolishly
quarantine against Sanford without going
Into details or investigating the matter
thoroughly.
AS precautionary measure and TO allay
such fears as may exist, Acting Mayor
Thrasher has placed around the old hotel

There Was Also Some Whisky in His
Room, and He was Unconscious.
AUGUSTA, GA, Nov. 27.-Dr. George
Minis, of Greene's Cut, prominent young
physician of that place, was found by
Policeman Raechels in an unconscious con
dition, in the waiting room at the car shed,
this afternoon. He was taken to police
headquarters, but the characteristics OF his
condition excited fears, and he was
removed to the city hospitel, where
an investigation by physicians showed
that, besides whisky, the patient had
taken quantity of morphine. Prompt
treatment saved him. and tonight he is out
of danger. and the physicians have per-
mitted him to sleep. His friends laugh at
any suggestion of suicidal intent, and soy
DIR. Minis was the victim of some mistake.
He has not recovered sufficiently for re-
porters to talk to him, and it cannot be
learned if he was robbed.

nell, and Police Inspector Bonfield, with
dynamite, was resumed this morning, jury
having been secured yesterday.
The first witness was Frank Chleboun.
one of the conspirators, who has turned
states evidence. He is unable to

pertinent with dynamite and then told a
a story, which has already been published,
