AS A LAST RESORT
Physicians Cannot Save DR..
BOthWell's Life.
THEY TRIED TO OPEN HIS CHEST.
ALI Efforts Futile to Remove the Cork
Which He Swallowed.

The Surgical Opperation of BrOnchOtomy
Uusuccessful-Dr. Rushmore'a Cor k
screw FaiIs.-There Was Danger of Suffo-
cation-Tho Brave: Patient Will Fight
to the Last--Joy Turned to Grief.
BROOKLYN, April 30.-In the hope of
being able to remove the cork which the
Rev. George H. Boutwell, inhaled nearly
Two weeks ago, the surgical operation of
bronchotomy was performed on the doc
tor last evening, but it was unsuccessful.
After the patient had been placed I'm
der the influence of ether, Surgeon w
D. Rushmore performed the operation
assisted by DIR. w. H. Bates. There
we're also present Drs. Ormiston, Hitch
ms, Sherwood and Bingham.
A flexible catheter containing a small
corkscrew was first passed through the
hole made two or three days ago into the
windpipe, but after several probings the
PATIENTS respiration became so labored
shat this was suspended.
Tried to Open His Chest.
A consultation was held, and it was de-
cided to open his chest at the point where
DIR. Boutwell, thought the cork was To-
Gated. An incision was made, but the
flow of blood became SO excessive that it
became necessary to desist. Another
consultation was then held and the idea
was suggested to introduce an electric
light in order to locate the cork, but it
was finally concluded that the excessive
flow of blood would render this useless.
There now seems to be but little hope
of DIR. Bothwell's recovery.
Joy Turned to Grief.
Up to the unlucky morning when the
clergyman drew the cork from the medi-
cine bottle with his teeth his family were
supremly happy. DR.. Boutwell, was look.
ing forward to the time when his church
would be foremost one in a city known
as the City of Churches. The future was
rosy with hope. Even after the cork was
drawn into the pastors windpipe no one
thought of a fatal result. He was so
big and strong and confident that he
inspired all who were brought in contact
with him with his own deep confidence
that all would end we'll. The chances
now are that Dr. Boutwell, will not long
survive the shock of the last operation.
But he says he will fight to the last. He
has the frame of an Ajax and the
heart of n Iona strong man and a
brave one-but in all probability he will
be vanquished by the cork.
