Laperotomy Successful.
j.. A Surgical Operation Saves
Mans Life.

The success Of an exceedingly delicate
: surgical operation which was performed
at the Charity Hospital about two weeks
ago. is now assured by the almost COM
!.plete recovery Of the patient.
The operation in question is know in
surgical parlance as LaperOtOmy. and
consists in opening the cavity of the abb
dOmen, taking out the patients intes-
tines, repairing them, and putting them
back in place. This touching of the Vi
tails with the surgical knife is only re-
sorted to in the most desperate cases,
and the recovery OF the patient is barely
hoped for.
This wonderful piece OF surgery has
been perforated twice AZ the Charity Hos
pital within the last year and both times
the work was successful.
The patient. who is just recovering
from the terrible ordeal of laperOtOmy,
, is Fred Hahn, young barber, who acct
.dentally shot himself while fOoling with
"a revolver about three weeks ago.
The ball passed through the abdomen,
cutting the inteStines. The injured man
was removed to the hospital apparently
dying from internal hemorrhage. House
Surgeon Miles and his assistant. Dr.
Bloom, decided 1T once that nothing but
heroic treatment could save their pa.
tient, so they placed him on the opera
iting table and began work.
His intestiTes were taken out and the
nineteen wounds washed and sewed up
with silk thread. That they were put
back carefully and skillfully is attested
by the fact that young Hahn will be able
to be mO,ed to his home, No. 800 TchOu-
piiOulaS street, Tomorrow.
The other operation was performed by
DIR. jeff ID. Bloom upon negro named
Smack Wright. whose intestines had
been cut in nine places 10y a pistol ball
This was nearly year ago and Wright
rs now working as a laborer on the levee
and is apparently us well and strong as

says: 'In an orchard near Visa
liza, Cal, 102 pound of prunes
were recently gathered from one
tree, which is six years old. 9th
er trees in the same orchard are
equally prolific and the product of

And yet the tariff bill doubles the
protective duty on prrInes. The
Tribune also quotes the San Fran
cleo Chronicle as estimating that
the fruit shipments from Califor-
MIA to the East this year will reach
10000 carloads, or 200,OO0,Ge

GOT INTO FARWELL.
Tho Chicago Millionaire Tells How lie
Lost a Half Million.

CHICAGO, July 2O.-J. V. Farwell, Chas.
b. Farwell, Congressman Abner Taylor,
and Lawyer Geo. f. WestOver have filed
an answer to William Sturges' bill,
on which he obtained an injunction
recently, restraining Il sale OF
i, l3G shares of the Capital Freehold Land
and Investment Company and 40 Of the
Sonora Land Company. Sturges claimed
that this property was given by him as
collateral security for note for $4,000
made to him by John V farwell in part
payment for raising between Si,OOOOOO and
-, 100000 of British capital to aid the Far
well syndicate in building Texas State
Capitol.
The defendants deny that the note was
ever given as part payment for any serv-
ices but that il was simple loan from
John V. Farwell Mr.. Farwell confirms a
pretty generally credited report that Stur-
ges "got into him in several schemes for
large amounts. He says that prior TO 1851
Sturges had worked him for about SlOO,-
600. Sturges. who acted as agent and trus-
tee of Farwell, represented that the Ken
sngton Company, of England, would not
deal directly with the merchant, and in
this way secured the title of a contract
with that company in his own name, with
the intention of claiming ownership. On
the return 10 America, Farwell demanded
the contract. but Sturges refused TO sur
render il. Fearing embarrassment ana
destruction of the company's credit, Far
well says he got his partners to agree to an
arbitration contract, where at Sturges be-
came overbearing and insolent, clamorous
and threatening, and Farwell says
that to quiet him he gave
him several large and valuable
claims he held against Sturges for money,
and decided valuable tracts OF land which,
with his claims under tho arbitration,
Surges is said to have sold for S50OOOO. In
