A SAD ACCIDENT.
John Corners Loses Foot Through Un-
fortunate circumstances.

John Corners Loses a Foot Through Un-
fortunate circumstances.
About four weeksa ago John Corners while
exercising at Turner hall met with very
serious accident. In leaping from a trapeze
his left foot struck with great force on the
wood floor causing the severe fracture of
several bones. DR.. Dogge, who was at once
summoned, pronounced it compound
comminuted fracture ana stated that, al
though the foot might be saved, there was
possi biiity of amputation being necessary.
MIR. Corners was at once removed to his
residence and, through the kindness of
friends and the Turner association, every
possible attention was bestowed upon him.
Several weeks afterward it was deemed ad-
visable to remove him to the DOCTORS pri-
vste hospital.
In! the meantime, however, J: suppuration
having. commenced it waadeofdAa to make
d resentio1l of the ankle joint and, If neces-
sary, remove one of the foot-bones or parts
of the other bones. Dr. Atchison was called
in consultation, and after the resection had
been made it was found that not only had
the bones of the leg been fractured but two
bones of the foot. while gangrene had
set in.
1t was tnen decided that amputation was
necessary to save life and the operation
was performed yesterday, the limb being
ankle j oints. Mr.. Corners is doing very
nicely and although his loss is to be deeply
regretted it was absolutely necessary for
his survival, everything possible having
been done to prevent suoh terrible result.
MIR. Corners is young unmarried man and
typesetter by trade; consequently the loss
is not as severe as it might be, inasmuch
as he can still follow his pursuit for live
lihood. His parents, who reside in Mime
apolis, were informed of the accident at
the time it occurred.

A Railway to BE Sold.

CHICAGO. Aug. .26.-By order of the United
States circuit court the Pacific Short Line
railway will be sold at auction next Tues
day under foreclosure proceedings. Among
the bidders, it is understood, will be the
Illinois Central, c. NJ. 4 st. P. and the
Northwestern. The road was originally
intended to run from Sioux City to Ogden,
paraleling the Union Pacific and
shortening by several hundred miles the
present rail distance from the Missouri
river to the Pacific slope. Up to last fall
the road had been built between Sioux City
and O'Neal, 100 miles. The enterprise
looked promising enough until last falrs
financial panic. Then Gould had
gobbled the Union Pacific and was
understood to be hand in glove with
Huntington, who controls the Central Pa
cifc. The latter road, which is the only
outlet from Ogden to the Pacific coast was
in hostile hands, and therefore the Pacific
Short Line people decided that it would be
folly under the circumstances to complete
the line, so the property was allowed to go
into the hands of u receiver. and is nov to
he sold. 1.N

Awaiting the Return of Gould.

New YoRK, Aug. 26.-The Times special
SAYS: The hitch in the financial scheme by
which the enormous floating debt of the
Union Pacific railway is to be extended for
three years is believed to be due to uncer-
tainty concerning Jay Gould's purpose in
the matter. That financier is expected to
reach homo from the west next week, and
soon after his arrival il ia predicted the
Union Pacific affairs will begin to move.
The understanding in Wall street is that j.
Pierrepont Morgan consented to act rs
trustee in the proposed fund alsing scheme
only after exacting from Russell Sage. Sid
ney Dillon and George j. Gould concessions
of great Importance to the road. One Of
these conoessione. it is believed. was the
presidency of the road, and some knowing
ones on the street insist that Morgan has
selected his able lieutenant, Samuel Spen-
GER to succeed President Dillon.

His Busy Opponents.
IEDIANApoLIs, Aug. 2G.--The republican
machine OF this state has always been run
in the interest OF Gen. Harrison when no
wished it to grind that way and it will work
for him next year. He will, II he desires
denomination and 10 not overwhelmed by
the Blaine movement, have the delegation
in the next national republican conyon-
tion.
The Harrison movement here, 80 far
as 1t 10 possible to trace it to it's source and
ASCERTAIN its dimensions, il confined to the
aggressive friends of Judge Gresham, re-
inforced by disappointed republicans.

dent say that White WAS angry because he
was not permitted to name the successful
applicant for the postofiice at Fort Wayne.

banks, who has always been consistent
supporter Of Judge Gresham, is prospec-
tive candidate for governor, it is believed
he will not actively oppose the ambition of
Il 9 president. Gen. James N. Huston, the
whilom treasurer of the United States
under this administration, is sulkinR in his
mansion down at Connersville. He is
disappointed, say the friends of Gen.
Harrison, at not having been invited into
the cabinet. 1t is believed that Judge
Gresham is giving no encouragement
whatever to the anti-Harrisonites. While
be no doubt feels confident that, in fair
contest before the republicans Of the state.
he could wrest the honors from Harrison.
he also recognizes it as fact that the men
who will manipulate the convention to dc
his bidding are not his friends.
The Blaine sentiment which seems to be
convulsing the country elsewhere. finds
small foothold here. Blaine was once
great popular idol with Indiana republicans.
There is a story, however, that he discon-
tlnued libel proceedings against an Indiana
editor for an ill-considered publication in
1884, giving as a reason for his action that
he could not obtain justice in Indiana. The
story, whether true or false, may have some
thing TO do with the waning of his prestige.
