TRANSPIANTED EYES.
A Young Lady Sues a Specialist for Fitting
Her Out with q Worthless Rabbits Eye.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. H.-Suit for damage
has been begun in the courts here by Miss Mary
Fisher against DIR. L. Webster Fox, the sps-
cialist in diseases of the eye, for alleged NAL
practice, by which she lost the sight of one eye.
Miss Fisher is one Of the two patients upon
whom the oculist operated by transplantinc the
cornea Of rabbits eyes. The other rsouted
case is that of Mrs. Matilda Shields, who says
that the operation upon her eye has been sue
cessful. Miss Fisher claims damages because,
whereas she formerly had some power of vision
in the eye upon which the operation was per-
formed, since the operation she has been entire
ly deprived OF sight. She alleges that DR.. Fox
neglected to inform her of the danger attending
the operation, or even Of the chances in an op-
Grafton which must either prove successful or
totally deprive her of eight. and that if she had
been 60 informed she would have preferred to
retain her partial sight than run the risk Of los
ing il entirely.

THE SILVER

SpecuIations ON the Recent Fraud on the
United States Treasury Department.
Washington Special.
The recent discovery Of the abstraction OF
silver from a package received from the New
Orleans sub-treasury, and tine substitution
therefor of an equal weight of shot to deceive
the Treasury experts, who count mainly by
weighing the bags, has been attributed to the
vigilance of those employed in the treasures Of
Cincinnati and Washington. The amount lost
is officially stated to have been but 81, 400,
which sum, it is said, has been made good to the
government by the Adams Express Company,
the carriers Of the treasure.
There was q suspicion when the story frs.
leaked out that the system of robbery so skill
fully arranged might be more extensive, but the
most positive assurances were given by all con-
cerned that the loss was only the trihinc sum
named. and that there were no o.ner bogus bags
A story told here to-day By a reputable attorney
OF this city has confirmed the suspicion first held,
that there had been q suppression of some of the
facts 10 connection with this subject, if not q
psrversion of truth. and gossip thus renewed
has drifted into the suggestion of some startling
possibilities. This gentleman says be heard OF
the roooerv tnroe Gays oeiOre TX appeared In the
papers, aud that be got his information from
railroad employees at the depot where the silver
arrived.
He was told that in handling the boxes = train
hand or expressman let one drop TO the ground
by accicen O., that the box was smashed and the
canvass bags inside burst open. Then the sub
stitution OF shot for silver Was revealed and the
FIRST discovery OF the fraud made. The tram
hands and expressmen were astounded, and i'm
mediatcly jumped 10 the conclusion that rob-
berry on a gigantic scale bad been going on.
The Treasury report OF the affair, as given
out TO the public. located tho discovery Of tho
swindle In the Treasury Department. whess q
bag was found to be short in weight when
opened. and that a bogus seal indicated still
more plainly tas fraud. The gentleman who
heard of the robbery three days before il cot
ont reasons that il one box burst open accidsr-
tally and was found to have been tempered
with, 1t 10 more than probable others we're in \
similar condition. II more than one box were
short, then sl,400 would not cover the loss. and

Putting Pressure on a Prince.

LONDON. Nov. lS.-It has TRANSFERRED that the
real reasons for the failure Of the Prince OF
Wales to attend the opening OF the New Lyric
Club, last night, are totally different from those
given out by the managers of the organization
in explanation Of their royal ~pstron's failure to
attend. 1t is stated on good authority that =
gentleman having q Rrudge against the club
wrote to the Prince threatening TO subpoena him
as a witness in q pending law case Involving
some scandal if he accepted the clubs invita-
ton. Upon receipt Of the letter, the Prince in

ing was held, and the COMMITTEES reluctantly
counseled the Prince 10 absent himself.

THE RUSSIAN AUTOCRAT.
Numerous Officials Waiting to Learn Who Is
10 Be Decapitated.

Numerous Officials Waiting to Learn who Is
10 BE Decapitated.
London Special to Pittsburg Dispatch.
1t Is no slight affair to be mixed UP in the rail-
road accident which injured the hands Of the
Gear and badly bruised his wife. This is made
evident by the effect produced on various Rus
sian officials by the awful panic from which they
are suffering while waiting to see who is to
suffer the autocratic displeasure. The Minister
Of COMMUNICATIONS, Admiral Possier, is in .
very bad way, and his friends fear that he will
commit suicide, as one distinguished railroad
official has already done. The Minister Of the
Imperial Court, Count Vorontzof Dashkoff, is
declared to be suffering from loss of mem
CRY, a rather convenient complaint under the
circumstances, and the commander n-chief OF
the Emperors personal body-guard, named
Scheremetief. is ailine, his friends cay, very
seriously indeed. The opinion which / ex-
pressed after the disaster. 20 tho effect that the
accident was not due, "a was almost universally
supposed, TO Nihilists, appears now to be con-
frmed. II it were due to them the panic would
be among the royal detectives, aud not among
the officials in charge OF royal transportation.
The twelve members of the commission who
have been examining matters have sent In their
report. The disaster is declared to be due to
the bad condition OF the line and the greet speed
OF the train, but more than anything else to the
unusual weight of the imperial cars. Il is well
known that the car in which the Car travels.
although painted to look like an ordinary car
riage, is absolutely iron-clad. and as nearly as
possible proof against anything short OF heavi-
est kind of Nihilist broadside.
The bodily strength Of the Car, which is
undoubtedly great. has been tremendously
praised In connection with this Borki railroad
disaster. His Imperial Majesty is often COM
pared to the NEUROLOGICAL parsonage who is
supposed to have held up the top OF . heavy
cave that was trying to fall in on him. The
injury to the Cars hands, according to the
courtiers. resulted from his having held up the
heavy roof of the dining car. which came crash
ing down upon the heads OF the imperial family,
and would have killed his wife and children but
for his great strength.

therefore there has been q smothsrine OF what
would otherwise have proved . sensational scan
dial.
The mere fact Of the express company max
Ing up the loss does not indicate an admission
on their part that the robbery occurred while
the silver was under its care. but simply n de-
sire to show its responsibility and good faith
toward the government, whose valuable business
or coin transportation it desires 20 retain. Be-
sioes, there is no way OF knowing how much
was paid ever by the express company, or
whether the treasury officials would admit to
the express company tho extent Of their loss il
they believed that the robbery had been con-
niyed at by their own officials 10 New Orleans.
Occurring, as the robbery did, on the eve of the
election, there was every reason to make light
OF II. and while all OF this reasoning may be
faulty. it cannot be denied that all the circum-
stances are decidedly suspicious.
