Of directors for the CLUB.
A resolution was adopted which says that the
American Association fully Endorsed the Metropolitan

office was called In and the delegates questioned him
closely about the matter. Said he The talk about
the Association forelting Its right to put club In

Singular Accident,

Aweek since colOred boy named John
Harvey, who came here from Port Re-
public eight or ten days ago, met with a
singular accident. He was at the Skating
Rink, and was sliding down the railing.
on the steps leading to the outer door,
There was a needle in the lapel of his
coat. 1t was pressed against the railing,
and entered his body. He attempted to
pull it out, and in doing so the point was
broken off. In this condition, suffering
very much from the wound. he walked to
DR.. Patterson's office. He became yerv
faint there, and complained very much of
his heart. He was taken to his lodging
place. and for a number of hours il was
thought he could not survive, An exam
ination of his condition revealed the be-
lief that the needle point was lodged in
the outer coatings Of the heart and
that it pressed upon that organ. as graf
ing sound could be heard by the use of
instruments applied to the ear and over
the heart. Drs. Shelton and Harris were
called in, but the nervous shock the boy
had received SO Frustrated him that a
surgical operation was not considered safe.
At last accounts the patient was getting
along much better than was expected, and
it is thought will recover. He suffered
intensely for the first 4S hours, but tie
pain has now, in degree, left him.
