orders to cut them down only on the

for a public official.

A SHOOTING AFFRAY.-A shooting scrape
occurred on Bunker Hill, disreputable
portion of Roanoke, Va, yesterday. Two
oolored men, William Cavill and William
Darlington quarreled over the affections of q
dusky damsel of very questionable cbarac-

Cavill whipped out revolver and fired FIVE
shots at Darlington, the first striking him
on the leg, and the second entering the side
of a colored man panied Taylor, who was
standing near by. The condition of both of
the wounded men is very serious, and Cavill,
who halls from the Pocahontss mines, was
lodged in Jail to await the result of their

Swallowing a Knife.

Little Maggie Mcclure lives with her pa
rents on Baxter street, New York. She is
twelve years old, and the very incarnation
of mischief. A few days ago her father
brought home a watermelon. Maggie
wanted to cut it, and opened her penknife.
Her father told her 10 wait until dinner,
when he would cut the melon. She de-
clared that she would swallow the penkrife
if she could not cut the melon. Her father
said he guessed she wouldn't" and before
he had ceased speaking she put the knife
into her month, handle first, meaning to
frighten him. Accidentally che swallowed
it. As it went down her throat she shrieked
with fright, and declared that her gullet
had been cut open. Her father was greatly
frightened, and sent for an ambulance, on
the arrival of which she was taken TO the
accident ward Of Chambers Street Hospital,
where DR.. George B. Phelps, the attending
surgeon, took charge Of the case. The knife
was open, and the blade and handle mea-
sured about five inches. The blade was
sharp. 1t was hoped by DIR. Phelps that it
had lodged in the gullet, but when she had
been put under the effect of ether it could
not be felt By the long rubber sound that
was passed into the mouth, down the gulet,
and into the esopbagus. 1t had evidently
passed into the stomach. Knowing that the
iugglers swallow open knives and eat full
meal of porridge afterwards, which adheres
to the blade, and enables the knife to pass
without injury, she was allowed to come
out OF the ether that this mode of
treatment might be tried, but when
the effects of the ether had passed
off it was found that the esophageal passage
was obstructed to such en- an extent that
nothing but water could be made to pass it.
The sound was used again, and tho obstruc-
ton was felt just above the entrance of the
stomach and all efforts 10 dislodge it were
in vain. Ether was given again, for it was
evident that the obstruction must be re-
moved, especially as the patient vomited
blood after being examined, aud it was
feared that the esophagus had been cut
by the knife. An incision was made in the
middle line of the abdomen and the stom-
ach opened, so that the surgeon could pass
his whole hand into the cavity, considerable
gas escaping from the wound aa he did So
The cavity was found TO contain o quantity
of blood. With good deal of difficulty the
esophageal opening was found, and its cir
cumferential tissues had contracted so
greatly that he could scarcely force his li5.
tie finger into the esophagus. On examining
the esophagus carefully he felt the end of
the knife handle, which had been caught
By tilleau1 fold of mucus membrane. On
dislodging it with pair of forceps he found
that the blade had wounded the mucu5
membrane in a number of places, which
were still bleeding To these wounds he
applied styptics and pressure for thirty
minutes, when all bleeding stopped The
cut in the stomach was then closed with
silk sutures, and the abdominal wound
closed in like manner, thus completing
the operation. The patient is doing well,
but will not be able to indulge in watermel-
on for six weeks at least.
