A GRATED EYE.llD.
Flesh Taken from q Patient to Replace
q Lost Optic Covering.

Flesh Taken From a Patient to Replace
Lost Optic Covering.
Ono OF the most remarkable cases Of
transplanting ever performed in Ameri-
ca, making the sixth time it has been
done in this country, took place on q
negro named George Davis at the city
hospital in Louisville the other day.
The operation consisted Of q new eye-
lid being made from flesh taken from
the left arm Of tho patient.
Three weeks ago, says tho Courier
Journal, Davis was brought to the hos
pital from ono of tho rock quarries,
whore he had boon burned by an ex-
plosion. One sido Of his face was hor-
ribly burned and ono Of his ribs was
broken in tho fall that followed the ex-
plosion. When his face began to heal
1t was found that tho upper eye-lid had
been blown away, leaving tho ball OF
the eye entirely exposed. DR.. Ray was
called into consultation, and he decided
to try tho experiment Of transplanta-
ton. After tho wound had sufficiently
healed to allow proper inspection it
was decided to cut the skin just
above tho oye-lash and Whip 1t
with threads to tho lower eye
lid. A thin coating Of the flesh
was then drawn from the upper portion
of the eye. and when in place over the
eye had the appearance Of the Aim over
ducks eye under water. A piece Of
flesh, one and one-quarter inches in
length and one inoh wide, was then cut
out Of the arm just below the elbow.
This was laid over the eye-ball and
sewed to the skin around the eye and
to the thread of skin which held the
eye-lashes. This done, the stitching to
the lower eye-lid was removed 50 as to
allow little air between the upper and
the lower lids. Several hours were CON-
sumed in the operation, during which
the patient was kept under tho influence
of an opiate.
This experiment was first attempted
by the famous DR.. Woelff, Of London,
ten years ago. Up to that time it was
considered impossible. Davis IA twenty
eight years old, and is fast recovering
from the painful effects Of the opera
ton. Blood vessels are already form.
ing between the old flesh and the arti-
fetal lid, and as soon as the healing
progresses so far as to allow the ban

perform its useful and necessary funo

New YORK, April 15.-The body of
Meyer, the clerk who was murdered by
his employer, Philipsen, a soap maker
at Copenhagen, was found at the New
York Custom House concealed in a cask
of lime or plaster, which had arrived
on the steamship Thingvalla some time
ago.
The cask had been shipped from Co.
penhagen January 10, consigned to
"Bsresford Brothers, Racine Wisoon-
sin" Wells, Fargo & Co. were named
as forwarders. The consignor prepaid
the steamship charges, and gave his
name as William Smith. The cask
was said to contain q chemically pre-
pared lime plaster.
On arrival here, February 4, it was
sent to the appraisers stores, and ex-
amined by the removal of the head and
pounds of the contents. 1t was then
reloaded and set aside to be called for.
Wells, Fargo & Co. paid the duty Of
$3.50 and wrote Bsresford Brothers
twice to remit billof lading and the
cask would be forwarded. The second
letter was returned by the postmaster
with the information that no such Arm
was known at Racine. Wells, Fargo &
Co. then wrote William Smith, at Co.
penhGgen, with no result.
When Philipsen confessed in Ham
burg few days ago that he had muir
dered Meyer and shipped the body to
America from Copenhagen the officials
of the Thingvalla Steamship Company
were notified and they cabled their New
York agents to look for a cask shipped
on the Thingvalla January 10. The
Danish CONSUL here was also notified
The agents, consul, and representa-
tive of Wells, Fargo & Co. went to the
appraisers stores and had the cask
opened.
After digging away some of the
plaster they uncovered q mans head,
and finally the whole body was exhum-
ed. It was clad in plain clothing, and
was we'll preserved The various parties
engaged in the search at once dropped
the matter, no one desiring to take
charge of the body. Wells, Fargo &
Co., said they were willing to stand
their $3.50 loss, and would put in no
claim to the goods.
The consul had no instructions TO
claim the body, and the steamship COM
pany 10 not interested. The appraiser
will probably have to hold the cask and
its contents until the Washington au
thorities direct it's disposal

THE WORLDS FAIR.

The United States senate proposes to
investigate Chicago, in connection with
the methods it has employed to secure
the fair, and with which she proposes to
carry on the enterprise. More than a
mere intimation has been thrown out
that the Chicago guaranty fund is not
what it seems, and the belief is being in>
culcated that ultimately, if matters are
not made straight now the country will
be involved in vast expense that was
never contemplated, as it was in the
case of the New Orleans fair a number
Of years ago. The reasons for this belief
are based on a critical scrutiny into the
financial standing of a considerable num-
Der OF persons whose names are signed

Of means does not authorize confidence
in their ability to pay on call the sums

posed to exact guarantee of the guar
antee-one about which there can be no
matter of doubt. Steps to this end have
been taken to the senate, and this will
bring either guarantee that will be
satisfactory to the senate or an embar-
rassment that will possibly end in doing
the worlds fair business over again. The
celebration having already been post
poned, it is held that it might just as
we'll be further portponed. In doing
that the fair might be relocated.
