THE Ex sERGEAST-AT-AHMs MAKES A START
LING DISCOVERY.
Cashier q f. silcott, of Ohio. has gone TO
Canada with funds Of the House amounting
to $1,000.
Silcott had been gone two days before
the facts were discovered. The Democratic
Sergeant-at.Arms, Leedom, of Ohio, is re.
sponsible for the money under bonds to the
extent of $50, o.. His bondsmen include ex-
Congressman FELTON,, of California, and Da-
vid X. Paige, of Cleveland, Ohio.
Silcott the defaultng cashier, is from
Georgetown, o., and was the personal APP
pointment of Leedo H. who also lives at that
place and represented that district in Con-
gress for three terms before his election as
Sergeant.at- Arms Sicott is about 80 years
ofage, with bald head and flowing beard He
has family, but had been leading a fast
life and indulging in the most extravagant
habits, giving big dinners at Wormleys and
spending money everywhere in the most
lavish manner.
Besides the $4,000 embezzled from the
Government, Sicott obtained $4,000 from
Leedom and amounts from other parties
that will probably swell the aggregate to
100000.
Last Saturday Slcott notified Mr.. Leedom
that he was going to New York and would
be back Sunday night. A message was re
ceved from him, dated New York, Monday
morning, saying that he had been dc aimed,
but would return that night. a similar mes
sage reached his wife in this city. As he did
not appear Tuesday, Mr.. Leedom was fearful
that lac had been oyeraken by some acci-
dent but, to satisfy rising suspicious, began
an investigation. The information that Sill
colt had drawn his bank account deepened
these suspicious, and the inquiry was pur-
sued. The enormous Office safe could not Q
opened at the moment. as Sicott hal the
combination, but when an entrance was
finally effected it was found that some $780,
900, set apart for the use Of the paying teller,
was intact
The next inquiry was made at the Treas
ury Department, and Mr.. Leedom was
stunned by the result. He was informed
that Silcott had called there Saturday and
had drawn about S72. %. II was possible
for him to draw this large sum without any
exciting comment, rs he had for n long time
been charged with the duty Of collecting the
money with which the salaries of the Rep
resentativcs are paid. silcott is under bonds
in the sum of $4,000, his securtie, number.
ing about IS persons. This is, however an
indemnity bond given TO the Sergeant-at-
arms and Mr.. Leedom, who is himself
bonded in the sum of $4,000, is directly re-
sponsible for the shortage.

BRAIN CUT OUT.
IMPORTANT OPERATION PERFORMED on AN EPI
lEPTIC CmILp AT pIIILApELPnIA.

IMPORTANT OPERATION PERFORMED on AN EPI
LEIPZIG CHILD At PHILADELPHIA.
DR.. w. w. Keen, professor of surgery ai
the Jefferson Medical College Philadelphia,
performed an important operation upon o
six-year-old child, son of prominent New
York clergyman. The child ST. uiiered from
epilepsy, and to effect cure portion OF
the brain was removed.
The little fellow when about two year, cid
fell and bumped his head After time the
boy became subject to epileptic commissions,
and gradually lost the power of speech ex-
cept such words rs Pa and Ma.
For the week past the child has been in
DR.. keen's care. lie carefully watched the
little patcnt and STUDIED each symptom of
epilepsy. Finally he diagnosed the case,
maintaining that the cpilepsy.wa due to q
lesion of the brain. lie located this lesion
partly by the statements of the parents rs to
the fall and partly by the parts Of the body
and organs affected by the supposed dis
eased condition of the brain substance.
DR.. Keen decided upon the operation.
The little patient was therized and laid
upon the operating table. Dr. Keen, as
sisted By DR.. William Forbes and DR. Addi-
nell Hewson, Jr,, began the operation.
After taking the length of the skull with an
instrument devised for the purpose and
marking q line upon the crown running at
an angle of about % degrees forward and TO
the left of the median line, DR.. Keen care.
fully separated the scalp and turned it back,
leaving the skull bare.
Applying the trepan at two points on the
line he removed the circular pieces of bone
and enlarged the apartures thus made With
bone forceps All these pieces of bone were
carefully placed in stcriliz ID fluid at the tenn
perature of the human body, that is. about
100 Fahreneit. Now the quiyerng brain
covered by the dura mater was to be seen.
This being carefully divided, the diagnosed
lesion was found right at the place sup
posed.
| At this point an experiment was made. A
galyanic battery was brought out and on be
ing applied to the cicatrix of the brain all
the phenomena of an epileptic attack were
simulated, confirming the surgeons opinion
! that here was the seat of the trouble.
few skillful movements of the knife
followed, and in few moments the mass o
diseased BRAIN substance was successfully re-
moved and the resulting cavity carefully
cleaned, On applying the galvanic battery
again no epieptic commissions followed
much TO the physicians delight.
The WORK Of closing the brain by replacing
the dura mater was begun, followed by re
placing the bone and then the scalp all over
this was secured in place by antiseptic dress
ings and baudages, Ond the little fellow wal
restored to his cot.
The result Of the operation will be watched
with great interest by the profession.

number of strikes since 1855. In that year
there were 2,6ll in lSS7, lGJi, and last year

fewer still, but it will take twelve months
for the Woodworking officials to compile
and publish the statistics.
Ofthe l,02l strikes of 1855 less than half
