tioh of Crisp as a very fortunate
thing for the republican party, for
while Mr.. Crisp is personally a
clever and popular man, he repre-.
sents all the elements that elected
bin, and the demands of those
elements which he will be compelled
TO certain extent to accede to will
each add to republican chances Of
victory next year.
Tammauy Hall has already made
a formal demand FOR the lions share
of the l57 places under House Door
keeper Turner, the ex-Representative
and ex-ice-mau, and there is little
doubt about its getting them. Ii is
the first time that this notorious
organization has attempted to take
part in national politics in Wash
ington, and It's interference is bitter
y resented by those democrats who
are not in partnership with it, or
under its baneful domination, but
they are powerless.

The school question will perhaps
always remain a subject Of serious
discussion in this country, but there
is but little danger Of its assuming
the complicated proportions to
which it has reached in Canada.
For some years the separate or
Roman Catholic schools in that
country have been supported from
the public funds In other words,
a Roman Catholic taxpayer could
have his school taxes set aside for
the support of the parochial school
and was exempted from contributing
to the strictly public school. The
Protestant Episcopal, or, as it is
called in that country, the Church
Of England, is strong in Canada
and it now asserts its right TO the
same privileges, and it is difficult to
see how their claim can well be set
aside. The logical result Of this
action can only be disastrous to the
system Of public schools The
strongest deuo mlnation there = the
Presbyterians, who can and win

A LIMB AMPUTATED.

On Thursday afternoon Dr. Shastid, as
sisted by Drs Purdue, Everett and Nc
Clees, performed "A surgical operation up
on Miss Minnie Dupy, who resides with
her parents at the corner Of Water and
Oak streets, by amputating one of her
legs.
The young lady upon whom the opera
ton was performed had been suffering
for some time with necrosis of the femur
bone. and a careful examination some DAYS
ago showed the bone for six or eight
inches above the knee joint to be badly
decayed.
The tro uble began some months ago and
was induced by a sprain received in get
ting out of a carriage. Every effort was
made to save the affected part, but to no
purpose, and the sufferer was growing
weaker and the disease was wasting her
vital energies, aud it was the unanimous
verdict of the physicians attendant upon
her that the limb could not be saved.
Miss Dupy is about IS years of age and
of good constitution, having lived in the
country all her life prior to the trouble
that caused her lameness. Her parents
moved into the city in order 10 be the bet
ter able to procure skillful medical atten-
tion for their daughter
The attending physician, DR. Shastid,
feels confident of her entire recovery as
she bore the operation well and rallied
from the effects of it in very short time.

LOST A HAND.
Richard Pool, While Hunting, Meets with an
Accident that Caused the Loss OF
HIS Left Hand.

Thursday afternoon, between and 4
O'Clock, Mr.. Richard Pool, while out hunt
ing in company with Charles Monteith,
accidentally shot himself in the left hand,
mangling the bones of the hand and wrist
to such an extent that amputation was
found to be necessary. The account given
by Mr.. Pool of the accident is as follows:
Mr. Pool, who resides at 2l1 North Ohio
avenue, in company with a young man
named Charles Monteith. was out hunting
on Chisholm creek, southeast of the city.
They were following bunch of quail and
were walking along hedge fence, one on
each side. Mr.. Monteith fired and when
he stopped to reload his gun Mr. Pool sat
down to rest While sitting the game
came out on his side of the hedge and he
arose to try 10 get shot, having both
barrels of his gun cooked. He started to
run along the hedge but tripped and fell,
throwing his left hand forward to catch
himself The gun in some manner was
discharged, both barrels taking effect in
his wrist and hand, mangling them hor-
ribly.
Mr.. Monteith bound a handkerchief
tightly around the wounded mans arm

Pool probably owes his life, as scarcely
any blood escaped. Help was procured and
Mr.. Pool brought TO his home on Ohio
avenue and DR.. Purdue sent for, but he
could not be found and Drs. Mccullough,
Fordyce and Holt were called, who 1T once
proceeded to amputate the wounded hand
Mr.. Pool was seen by an EAGLE repre-
sentative yesterday and he was resting
pretty well although suffering some, but
was bearing up well for person of his
age, being "a. Mr. Pool is we'll known to
many of our citizens and expressed de-
sire that all of his friends would call and
see him.
The physicians think that his recovery
is only a question of time, as he has a good
constitution and is displaying wonderful
nerve.

The finance committee who found the
urgent need of Sl20 staring them in the
face, and no bank account to draw from
report about $50 of the amount had been
raised in free will gifts, from the men of
the city, in sums ranging from five dollars
to twenty-five cents. The holidays and
tax paying season approaching, this com
mittee was obliged to be less vigilant, but
they will doubtless be about soon again,
as very many friends expressed desire to
assist in the near future. The current
expenses OF our work are now being met
promptly, but few small bills which had
accumulated will shortly be met, we trust.

THE "CoRsAIR. y

The great spectacular comic opera, the
"Corsair," of which so much has been said
and written, and which has enjoyed long
runs in nearly every large city in the United
States and Canada, will be at the Craw-
ford Grand Opera house on next Monday
evening, Jan. 49, The "Corsair" is one Of
the most brilliant burlesques of the day,
and the costumes and scenery have never
been surpassed. The name of Rice has
proven TO be synonym for all that is gor-
geous, expensive and beautiful in stage
settings. No one else seems to know quite
so we'll as he how TO gather together
shapely women, beautiful costumes and
rich scenery, and to blend these so as to
make them entirely satisfying to the most
critical. All the knowledge and taste he
is master of, has been brought to bear on
the 'Corsair," and the result is dazzling.
1t will be revelation to our theatre goers
who witness its many beauties for the first
time.
If anybody imagines that the limit of
effect has been already attained in stage
groupings let him take look at the Cor
sair" scenes.
The costumes of the male chorus of the
"Corsair," are not only appropriate but
very handsome.

RAILROAD sReVITIES.

A. V. II. Carpenter, for thirty yeats gen
eraI passenger agent Of the Milwaukee, and
St. Paul railroad, has been retired at his
own request.
The twenty-four hour notation is now in
general use on all the railroads OF Hindoo-
stan, the total mileage Of which is between
5000 and Il, 900 miles.
Sidney Dillon, recently elected president
of the Union Pacific road, formerly held
that position, and was succeeded by Charles
Francis Adams in 1884.
The track mileage of street railways in
the five leading cities Of the United States
is: New York, 366; Chicago, 365; Boston,
800; Brooklyn, S24; Philadelphia, S24.
Wiley Jones, Of Pine Bluff, Ark, is the
only cOlored man owning whole street
railway. His property consists OF fourteen
miles OF track and equipments, valued at
$50, O0o
Director F. L. Ames says that the float-
ing debt of the Union Pacific road has been
reduced in the past year by a, OOO, 600 and
is now 81 10000 There was never any
thought of having a receiver appointed for
the road.
A Pullman conductor, after long years
of service, epitomizes his career as follows:
Pleasure received, some: insults from su-
perior officers, many, money, none; gratu-
itOus insults from passengers with hoggish
natures. several thousand; worldly knowl-
edge. much.
To connect New York and London by
rail would necessitate the building of about
$500 miles Of road across Behring strait
and thence down the coast OF Alaska. The
distance between the metropolis of Great
Britain and the metropolis OF the new
world by rail is estimated at 10. 200 miles.
In the year 1889 the whole Russian rail
road system carried Al. 5o9. coo passengers

the holding of country store at some
time in the early spring was attended 10.

may be, were entirely destitute of litera-
ture of any kind, was given and a com

need. Miss Fountain presented the work
