he BLED TO DEATH.
The Hemorrhsge First Started by tho

The Hemorrhsge First Started by the
BreaRiug of Blister on His Toe.
SOUTH HADLEY, Mass, Marcia.
Carpenter, about % years of age, while
employed last Monday in remogirg some
ice pinchsd one of his toes so hard as to
raise blood blister. As he had often had
serious trouble from losses of blood in
CASES Of trivial scratches he was especially
careful in this instance not to break the
blister. Ga Tuesday, however, with
all his care and wstchfulness,
il broke, and the blood flowed
from the wound so freely as to cause him
self aud his parents such alarm that DR..
Clark was called. After some difficulty
the bleeding was stopped, only, however,
10 begin flowing from the nose. For hours
the Doctor worked Increasingly TO stop the
hemOrrhage, and finally succeeded, but
despair seized upon all present, when il
Was seen, few moments later, that from
the mouth gushsd forth the crimson tor
rent, which YVES hurrying the sufferer
nearer to his grave The Doctor and his
attendant were unremittiug in their Efforts
to check the flow Of blood, but they were
unsuccessful, and the young man gTadu-
ally sank until death ensutd.
Carpenter was very peculiar in his looks,
having the appearance of one il the last
stages of consumption, and would bleed
copiously upon receiving the slightest
scratch. During his childhood his parents
would never permit him 10 use knife,
lest he might cat himself and bleed TO
death. Only about two weeks ago he came
near bleeding to death by having tooth
drawn. The disease seems 10 have been
inherited, ss his grandfather and uncle
died from similar causes. A medical ex-
animation showed that his blood failed 70
circulate properly, but flowed through
channels other than ne natural ones.

Western Cattle Raisers.
CHICAGO, March AT meeting OF
cattle raisers of the Southwest, hald last
week, it was decided that a company
should be formed 20 be known as the
American Live Stock Commission Com
pany, and organized under the Sate laws
of Illinois with a capital stock Of $3.50, 600
The object of the association is to ship
cattle either TO Kansas City or Chicago and
sell through their own sgent at the point
Offering the best market, thus saviog com
missions. Any attempt on the part Of
commission men at either OF the distribut-
ing centers 10 discriminate against the
raiser will be met by a change OF shipment
to another city, and as the original incor-
poratOrs OF the organization are prepared to
throw over $50. 900 head of cattle on the
market at moments notice, the move
ment mas created considerable interest
among cattle men.
Chicago commission men claim that such
additional competition would be a good
thing for this city, and that such scheme
would effect only such commission men as
handle Texas cattle.
