May Lose The sight OF ,he Eve,

The inJary to young Peter Lsngbeh's
eye proves tc have been more serious than
was known yesterday afternoon. Dr.
kerns stated this morning that when he
arrived at Mr. Lsngbehn's and made an
exemInation he saw that 1t was a very
serious case, hence he desired counsel,
that he might not be unduly blamed
should the results of the necessary opera
tions be less successful than desired. The
cut in the eyeball was very deep and a
portion OF the iris was protruding. Dr.
Kerns and Mr.. Lsngbehn accompanied
the unfortunate boy to DR.. Peck's office in
Davenport, and after DR.. Peck had ex-
amined the eye it was operated upon by
DR.. Kerns. A portion of the iris that was
protruding was removed and few stitches
taken in the eyeball, and few in the eye
lid, that had also been cut through. DR..
kerns has little hope Of saving the sight
of the injured right eye. but hopes that
sympathetic ophthslmy of the left eye,
which might cause serious Injury to tn at
member, may be avoided. Moline Dis

The late George Courtney, the travel
Ing engineer on the main line of the G :,
b. q Q. road, who was killed in the
frlghtiul wreck at Monmouth the other
night was former Rock Island railroad d
man, and it seemed as though i'll fortune
was bis vigilant pursuer. He originally
was an engineer on the old Rockford,
hock Island & 81. Louis, and when that
road was absorbed by the Burlington,
courtney went over to the Rock Island
q Peoria. where he ran a
Train for few years. and
was one OF the most trusted engineers in
the conpany's employ. He used to run
the pay car and sll specials, etc. In 1876
ne was taking the pay car out one morn
ing and between Milan and Coal Valley
ne ran into a broken rail and the en-
CINE was ditched. Engineer C ,urtney in
attempting to work the reverse lever was
caught In such a position that he was un>
able TO move and it took thr hours time
TO extricate him. In the meantime the
escaping steam from a broken valve
poured down his leg and over the toes of
his left foot literally cooking the toes,
MIR. Courtney meanwhile, as a matter of
course, enduring frightful agonies.
As result of the accident Mr.. Court
ney was obliged to have four toes of his
left foot amputated which with the in~
luries to his leg made him a cripple the
remainder of his life.
After running on the Peoria for mum.
Der of years Courtney went back to the
c., b. Il O. where he was given an en-.
gine on ;he main line. He was one Of
the few engineers in the Burlington's en-
ploy who were loyal in the strike of
few years ago, and in token of his servi>
ces then he was elevated to the position
OF travelling engineer, a position he had
still held and in the discharge of the du-
ties Of which he met his terribl lie final
fate.

the resuscitation of moribund camp
it means more for the mining industries

Capt. Carrie, of the British ship Way
farer, which arrived in Oakland, Cal, a
few days ago, la days from Antwerp,
reports weird phenomenon on the night
of Nov. IL. The Wayfarer WAS then III
latitude SO deg. 80 min. south, longi-
tude Cj deg. 20 min. west. 1t had
been blowing several days, but with
nishtfal the air became perfectly calm
and the sea as smooth as glass. Over
head the sky was rs black as ink from
the dense masses of heavy clouds, and
with tAe barometer at $3.50 a rain storm
was looked for. The expected down
pour did not occur, but instead the sea
glowed with a phosphorescence beyond
anything the Oldest mariner had ever
seen.
The ships surroundings were lit up so
that it was possible to read on deck,
Nobody cared much for reading, how
ever; the contrast between the light
from the sea and the inky clouds was so
grewsome that all hands could not help
feeling that some unnatural catastrophe
was about to occur. The crew were
much relieved when a breeze dissipated
the clouds, and the phosphorescence dis
appeared at the same time.-San Fran

An 1nrnriated Cow Among Children.

An infuliated COW broke away from a
herd of cattle which was being driven
through Hospital street, Nantwich, to
the Crewe abattoir, and ran into the
Wesleyan school yard. the children
were in the yard waiting for the opening
of the school doors. The appearance of
the animal caused panic among the
children, whom it attacked ferociously.
A number of them We're caught on its
horns and tossed, while many others
were trampled upon. The drovers and
other men who had. pursued the cow
beat it out of the yard and it was event
ually slaughtered. Forty-tiye children
were more or less injured and had to be
carried to their homes. Fifteen were
seriously bruised and cut, and their
clothes torn to shreds. One little girl
had her face laceratod, and was picked
up in an unconscious condition.-Pall
