a EataI Shock.

New YORK, May 2-As young man
named Witte, bookkeeper for L. Schle.
singer, a tailor at 200 Bowery, was leaving
the store about 10 o'clock last night be
passed under the electric light in front, and
causually reached up, according to habit
he is said to have had of touching the lamp
when he passed near it. His hand must
have rested upon the lightly insulated wire
connected with the upper carbon, or the
carbon itself, which projects slightly above
the top rim of the globe in front of the
show window south Of the entrance to the
store He will never tell exactly what he
did touch. He fell with gasp into the
arms of Samuel Davis of 297 Broome street,
who happened to be walking past the store.
When taken to hotel across the street the
unfortunate man was found to be dead.
He was nephew of the proprietor of the
store and about % years of age.

THE OPERATION A SUCCESS.
Mrs. schIck Has Now Fighting Chance OF Re
covering Her Sight.


The wonderful operation that was per
formed bv DR.. L. Webster Fox, of this city,
on Sunday last, by transplanting the cornea
of rabbits eye to that of Mrs. ANNE
Schick, the young patient at the German
town Hospital, was last night found to be
a grand success.
Mrs. Schick, who has been kept in dark
room with her eyes securely bandaged ever
since the operation, has been resting quietly
aud everything has seemed to be in her
favor. Last evening DR.. Fox, together
with DR.. Cameron, the resident physician
of the Germantown Hospital. visited the
patient and removed the bandages. upon
examination it was found that the eyellds
had not developed the slightest swelling,
every nerve was in perfectly normal con-
dition, the graft had remained exactly IN
place, the edges are al! united and the graft,
which has perfect appearance, is as trans
parent as crystal and has attached itself 10
the basement membrane.
So good result was not even dreamed
of by DR.. Fox, who said, enthusiastically
'Von Nipple expect that at the end OF three
days the graft will be hazy, but this is moi
so-it is at once transparent. | believe now
that the opalescent tissue which has OBJ
scured the sight will become transparent.
At any rate, Mrs. Schick has now night
ing chance of recovering her sight.
When the news of the success got ABOARD
among the medical men of Germantown
last night the telephone at the hospital was
kept in constant use by physicians who los'
no time in congratulating Dr.. Fox.-Pnll

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER.
How His Nomination is Regarded by the Lead
ing Newspapers.

How His Nomination is Regarded by the Lead
ing Newspapers.
The nomination Of Melville ". Fuller to
be Chief Justice of the United States ST.
preme Court is variously regarded By the
leading dailies. The New York World
seems not to have known Mr. Fuller very
intimately, but it notes with satisfaction
that ''he is highly spoken of by his neigh
bors." The Sun touches the nomination
with equal lghtness, merely mentioning
the fact that the President has thus put Sin
the way to become illustrinus" name that
has not been widely known" The Times
believes that the appointing power sought
high legal attainments." experience, y
assured standing" and integrity Of char
acter which could not be assailed' and
succeed in his purpose" OF similar
bent is the opinion of the Democratic Star,
which, in commencing the selection felici-
tates the President upon his surprises" to
which, it says. the p-ople have become ac-
customed and corsi6erate because of the
rare judgment with which they are
planned.
The millennium is not at hand just yet,
and so the Tribune finds little in the selec-
ton to approve. Some men in the country
are better known" than Mr. Fuller; there
fore, there will be disappointment" If
be is to be Judged by his record as party
leader" the showing does not strike the
Tribune as impressive, and Mr. Fuller
cannot hope to come to the great place
thus suddenly conferred upon him with
the ready and pleased acouiescence of the
country" The Herald regrets that what
should be prize to the foremost lawyer in
the land OF a promotion TO the most worthy
Justice on the Supreme Bench" is given to
man ''outside of the court, who, so far
as its information goes, may be known
only in the technical inner circles Of the
bars"
In marked contrast to these two opinions
is that of Frank Hatton's sturdy Republi-
can organ, the Press, which considers it to
the advantage of the man" that he is not
so widely known" To the Press this
argues that he is q lawyer primarily" and
it admits patriotically that the country will
drop partisan politics for day in order to
Congratulate itself upon the fact that the
President has maintained the high standard
already fixed for the most exalted Judicial
office"

from Bennettsvilie, down in Red Hill

called at the Chronicle office and enrolled
his name as member of our military COM

he was met by Doc Dargan, negro about
II years Of age, at McDanieps mill. Here
a few words passed, when Dargan fired
upon young Coke, killing him instantly:
It is sad to know that this new member
Of the Gordon Rifles, whose youthful face
bore the outlines of pleasant and social
disposition, will never answer to roll call

Sand Frozen Into Solid Rock.

The method OF sinking shaft through
sand by freezing the sand and excavatinng
it like rock has recently been carried out in
Belgium. Large iron tubes are esunk in the
sand about three feet apart, and in these
tubes smaller tubes are inserted through
which circulates cooled solution OF
chloride of magnesium The sand is frozen
for distance of three feet around the tube.
1t resembles rock, is hard and compact, and
can be excavated in the same manner as
rack. II is probable that the process can
also be used to great advantage in the dig.
ging of foundations where water and sand
often make trouble.
