A Surgical Curiosity.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, November S.
A curious surgical case is that pre-
sented by Henry Breen, of this city.
He suffers from apeurism of the
orbit, ana his ia the only case of the
kind reported by physicians. He has
received many letters inviting him to
appear before medical colleges so they
can examine and study aneurism of
the orbit, but as he fears that the
blood vessel back of the orbit may
burst at any moment and thus end
his life he has preferred to remain
under the care of surgeons at home.
Breen was a brakeman on the Wa
bash railroad, and while engaged, on
July 10 last, in coupling cars at Cecil,
o., he was caught between the steps
of the caboose and the end of saw
log which extended over q fiat car,
and-hi skull was fractured
After a long and painful i'll
ness he rallied sufficiently to
walk about, but it was found that the
cords of the left eye were paralyzed
and refused to perform their natural
functions. The affiiction grew worse
and two weeks ago Mr.. Breen went
to Springfield, ILL.,, where Illinois
surgeons were holding their annual
conven ton. He was examined by
173 surgeons, who pronounced his
case "aneurism of the eye,n and
the only one on record. He was put
under the influence of opiates and an
iron collar was placed about his neck
to which was attached O thumb
screw which was pressed over the Or
bit to stop the rush of blood. He was
thus kept for forty-eight hours, but
his case was pronounced incurable.
He is now at his home in this city.
Breep is man Of strong muscular
development, and would appear to
have more than the average mans
chances for longevity. He is not dis
posed to be melancholy over his con-
dition, and says that he may outlive
the entire Springfield Convention. At
any rate he has the strange distinc-
ton of being the only man alive who
wears a collar made at blacksmith
shop.

Two Young Women of Iowa sud- en-
Iy Disappear and Are Found
in Texas.
KEoKUK, To-, November SIT has
developed that Buelah Klepper, the
young woman telegraph operator of
this city who disappeared last
week, was accompanied by Helen
Maxwell, the 19-year-old daughter
ter of John Maxwell, q railroad tie
contractor, who is rated as one of the
wealthiest men in Keokuk. Mr..
Maxwell started in pursuit of the two,
and early this morning returned with
both, he having gone to Bell, Texas,
before success crowned his efforts.
The only clew the anxious father had
to go by was information CLEANED
from conductors of the trains the run
away couple had journeyed on, the
ticket offices being Stunned for fear
they could be traced thereby. The
Klepper girl in her position as
telegraph operator was known
by many of the trainmen, SO after
boarding q car she feigned sickness,
covering her head with shawl and
resting 1t in her companions lap,
thereby escaping recognition. At
one town near Kansas City they had
been tempted to purchase tickets, but
on nearing the office Miss Klepper no.
ticed by the ticking of the telegraph
instrument that q dispatch just being
received was regarding their where
abouts. The ticket office was left in
stantly, a team hired and the journey
to the next town made in this man
ner. Bell, Tex, was reached without
further adventure, where Mr.. Max
well succeeded in locating them.

SPECIAL MEETING
or the CityuCouncil, and What Was
Done.

A special meeting of the city council
was held yesterday afternoon, and ex-
Alderman Fritz Schreiner was elected TO
fill the unexpired term of alderman-at
large. Bolton, who, by moving out of
the state for residence, had vacated his
seat.
After this pleasant little piece of bust
ness was transacted, the mayor made the
following report, verbally, OF his and
Treasurer Herff's recent trip to New York
and Chicago, in hawking the city's $780,
600 Improvement bonds for sale:
.,He read the contract entered into by the
firm of n. w. Harris & Co., and in pursu-
ance of which he and City Treasurer
Herff had gone to Chicago On present.
ing themselves to Harris & Co., those
gentlemen refused to fulfill the contract
on the grounds that the $4,000 refunding
bonds were not issued in accordance with
the law, and this was made the excuse for
not carrying out the contract. The
truth of the matter, however, was that
the. money market was, very stringent
and the firm did not have the mon
ey required. Mr.. Callaghan read a
letter in connection with the bond award,
showing that Blair & Co., Wall street,
New York, were also interested in the bid
for the entire amount. In order that
Mayor Callaghan and Mr.. Hertf might
visit New York and consult with the New
York correspondents of the Chicago firm,
n. w. Harris Il Co. paid the expenses of
the trip. Mr.. Callaghan then made the
following statement of what TRANSFERRED:
1--WE called on Blair & Co. and rendered
the bonds, but the best Mr.. Blair
would do was TO take 100000
under a guarantee of interest at the rate
of 81 per cent, and to take the balance of
$4,000 in six months at the same rate of
interest. This, of course, would not do.
On the following day took with me
notary, whose certificate have, and visit
ed the house of Blair & Co. and there made
formal tender of the $3.50, in bonds &C
cording to the contract with the two firms
Jointly. The firm refused TO take them on
the grounds stated concerning the school
refunding bonds. then rendered $4,000
bonds, which was also refused. Now we
hold the certified check of the firms who
bought the bonds for the sum of $1,000 as
indemnity, andlths we must hold TO in
denim fly the city on account for losses
sustained
He then reported that he had sold to
Mr.. Pine, banker on Wall street, New
York, the following amounts of the bonds
in question; For bridges, 100000; open
ing of streets, $4,000: sidewalks, $4,000:
school refunding, bonds, $4,000. These
school refunding bonds sold to Pine were
the bonds to which n. w. Harris & Co.
had objected.

Advice Anent Matrimony.

From the Spokane Falls Review.
Girls, you all mean to marry. There
is not SO much discredit in being an
"old maid" nowadays as there once
was; nevertheless, all happy, healthy
girls hope to find the special "prince"
waiting somewhere down the road
to wear their colors on his faithful
breast forever. Let me tell you what
to avoid.
Don't have anything to do with a
man who drives his horse with head
check-rein. That man will beat his
wife; only give him time.
Don't marry q man who wears plaid
trousers or colored neckties. The in
stincts of that man, whether devel-
oped or not, are those of gambler.
Don't marry man who won't give
up his seat In q crowded car to an old
or tired-looking woman, because he Is
afraid he won't be thanked. Ten to
one he won't be; but what of that?
A man of that sort will be very apt
to let his wife get up and kindle the
fire when the girl is gone. Don't
marry q man who is in the habit OF
borrowing money in small amounts
and forgetting to pay it back. Such a
man will prove sneak thief to
friendship and to all good faith. And,
finally, don't marry man who is a
bird of beauty in other folks parlor,
but tyrant in his own home. Get a
chance to hide behind the door and
see how he treats his little brothers
and sisters or his tired mother before
you lead any man to the altar.

Quickly Resulting From an Elec-

LEXINGTON, KY, November s.
The terrible election day duel in Es-
tell county, of which only meagre
mention was made In these dispatch
es, turns out to be one of the most
terrible encounters in the annals
of Kentucky. Irwin county, the
seat of Estell county, is almost cut
Off from the rest of the world
and the details of the awful tragedy
have been slow in reaching the
newspapers. The men engaged In
the affair were DR.. G. Lilly, a
prominent young physician Of the
town, and the son of Judge II. Clay.
Lilly was on one side and John
Wilson, commissioner of common
schools in Estell county, on the other.
Lilly was a republican and Wilson a
democrat. Lilly brought a negro to
the polls to vote, when Wilson chal-
lenged his right to cast ballot. The
Judges coincided with Wilson and
the negro was rejected. This fired
up Lilly and some words ensued be-
tween him and Wilson, resulting in
the drawing of pistols by both men.
Lilly got his weapon out readily,
while Wilson's hung in his hip
pocket and was accidentally dis
charged before he could level it. In
the meantime he received two balls
from his antagonist, both lodging
near the heart. The wounds were
not Immediately fatal and dreadful
combat commenced. Wilson got his
weapon loose and fred two shots,
one of which struck Lilly near
the heart. About this time
Wilson's brother interferred and sue
ceeded in wrestling Lilly's weapon
from his hand. Nothing daunted and
almost IN the throes of death, he drew
his knife and made several fatal
stabs IN his enemy's body. Both fell
to the ground but the terrible duel
was not over and with his last ebb-
ing strength Wilson raised up
and fired the last load in his
pistol at Grant Lilly, brother of DIR.
Lilly, who had appeared on the scene,
infiicting a fatal wound. Not salts
fed with that Wilson crawled over to
where his antagonist lay and buried
the hammer of his pistol in his head.
Lilly died in q few minutes while
Wilson fingered until next day. In
addition to men the named as having
been shot, three outside persons re-
ceived balls but were not seriously
hurt. Altogether, the affair was
the most desperate that ever occurred
in Estell county.
A dispatch received here last night
says that Grant Lilly is also dead.
All engaged in the difficulty were
prominent men in Estelle county.
Judge Lilly has gained a national
reputation by trying the mountain
desperados of Kentucky for their Of
fanaaa
