Thrilling Attempt of Convicts to Regain
Their Liberty.
John Gregory, 10 years old. of 45 Rose
street. Brooklyn, and John Cassidy, IS
years old, of 81 Walcott street, Brooklyn,
were sent to the WorkhouSe on Harris
Island three weeks ago. On Sunday morn
ing Gregory and Cassidy managed to slip
away unobserved and hid among the rocks
at one end of the island, where they re-
NAMED all day and half Of the night. They
had secured an old door. and with few
DlaDks and boards which they picked up
along the shore they constructed a rickety
craft, which they hoped would carry them
to liberty. Early Monday morning the raft
was pushed into the water, Gregory and
Cassidy having done all they could, trusting
to the tide to do the rest. The night was
cold, and the salt water washed over the
frail craft, wetting the men through and
through. The worst of all, the tide began
to turn the other way, and the raft began to
drift toward the sound. The young fellows
had no oars, and Gregory took off his shoes
and attempted to paddle to land. but. al
though they got within fifty feet of the shore
at one time, they were unable to effect
landing.
The situation began TO grow critical, and
finally, when off Fort Schuyler, the large
waves made by passing tug turned the
little raft completely over and spilled its
occupants into the water. Cassidy was al
most exhausted from the exertiOn and chill
of the past few hours. Gregory chung to the
raft and shouted for help. at the same time
doing all he could to keep his companion
above water. A deek-hand on the tug threw
out rope and the two Young conviets were
hauled up on the tug. Both were dressed in
their prison clothes, but Gregory had lost
his shoes when the raft turned over. The
tug was the Annie j.. and was towing the
yacht Danntless from Larchmont to Staple
ton, Staten Island. CAPTAIN Mosier gave
the fugitiyes something to eat and let them
sit by the boiler. AS the tug neared the city

The Peculiar and Fatal Case at the New
York Presbyterian Hospital.
Henry Welch, white man. whose skin
had turned black, and whose case had been
watched with the greatest interest by the
physicians at the Presbyterian Hospital,
where he has been since May 9th, died few
days since. One of the house physicians
had just spoken to him and had been an
swered in perfectly rational manner v it'll
ont any evidence of impending death and
then had turned to the next to speak to an
other patient. Half minute later the doc
tor happened to glance at WEIGH and found
that he was dead.
WEIGHS case is one of the most remarka-
Bile on record. He was 30 years old and was
born in County Down. Ireland, of white
parents. Thirty-fye years ago he came 10
America and obtained employment as
waiter. Fourteen years ago he arrived IN
New York and soon after married. He had
four children, all of whom are alive, but his
wife died three years ago.
About the first Of the present year Welch
began to have severe intermittent pains IN
his stomach. and several physicians to whom
he applied could give him no relief. Then he
commenced to feel constantly langnld and
to assume a bilious look. In January his
skin turned yellow, as though from jaun-
dice. This continued until Welch might
easily have beer mistaken for q quadrOon.
DIX weeks later ne nau the appearance Oh a
mulatto. His case was diagnosed by doctors
as hypertrophic cirrhOsis, or liver disease.
He entered the hospital May 9th, and after
that continued to grow darker in color.
When he died his entire skin was black. His
two little girls arrived at the hospital yes
terday with their grandmother one
hour after the fathers death. They
are remarkably pretty children, and as
white as the offspring of any white people.
The dead mans little sons are as white as
their sisters. The disease of which Welch
died was seated in the gall duct which con-
meets tile gall bladder with the liver, which
In turn is supplied with the bile necessary
for digestion. The gall duct is very small,
and in passing through the duct the gall
stone sometimes tears the walls of the ducts,
causing great pain. Of Welch's case the
physicians say the gladstone became lodged
In the duct and the bile not being able to
flow through the duet was forced through,
producing jaundice and changing the color
Of the skin to yellow. The physicians be-
lieve that in the present instance the disease
had become abnormally severe in its deVel-
Opment through long standing. There are
but two similar cases in the hospital rec
Ords. Both terminated fatally.-St. Louis

Ready for a Break.

B. n. Bowen, prominent wholesale mer-
chant Of Dallas, Tex, who is now at the
Occidental, is Of the opinion that the third
party movement is likely to prove more
dangerous to the old parties in the South
than it is in the North.
Said be last night: at is a great mis-
take to think that the Southern Democrats
are welded TO their idols. They are ripe
for revolt, and you will see the new party
wipe out old party lines south of the Ohio
River. In Mississippi, for instance, BaFks-
dale, the Farmers Alliance candidate, is
sure to defeat Walthall for the United
States Senate, and in Texas, Georgia, Ala
bama and North Carolina tue feeling
against the old parties has grown intense.
We have seen Senators elected through
money influence until we are tired, and we
have come to the conclusion that we are
done with this class rule We are also sick
of the old war issue, and we regard the de-
feat of ingalls, and Hampton as desire on
the part Of the party 10 retire from active
political life the men who have been active
in keeping alive the old feuds. The new
South, In short, is not the old South and

brs. West and Bouffier of the hospital staff
were the operating surgeons. They found
that the long blade with which the man had
been stabbed had cut so deep and done
such damage that laparOtOmy was the first
st5p necessary to accomplish any good re-
suit.
This most serious operation was per-
formed without loss of time, as the man
was bleeding profusely and his life was last
ebbing away. DR.. West says he never saw
a worse case of internal hemOrrhage. Gain
ing access to the abdominal cavity it was
found that the knife, having barely missed
the stomach, cut through the inteStines, a
portion of the liver. through the diaphragm
and into the percardium. Following the
track of the knife-blade with his finger till
ne reached the pericardium cavity, DR..
West had the strange experience Of feeling
the mans heart beating against his hand.
The surgeons fastened to catch up some Of
the arteries that were bleeding most pro-
fusely and soon began to control the flow OF
blood. Then they tied up tie wound in the
liver. The cut in the diaphragm was next
Sewed up, when the hem0rrhage almost
ceased. The operation lasted one hour and
q half. For a week the patients condition
was extremely critical, and he feeby tiuc-
tuated between life and death. Then the
man began to rally. Since that lime his
improvement has been steady and constant.

On the Same Lines.

at seems little strange that the Charles
ton and the ESmeTalda should have been
pitted against each other as possible antag-
onists," said naval officer at the Occ-
dental. VERY few people know tina: the
former was constructed after the plans
originally intended for the latter, and
which were for some reason modified by the
builders of the Esmeralda. There Is a var-
ance Of opinion even now as to the compar-
alive merits Of the two ships, and many
naval men claim that the changes added
nothing to the value of the Chilean as
fighting ship. The ESmeralda. you will re-
member, has been in commission now since
1888, and with the strides that have been
made is no longer classed as a first-rater.
When first launched, however, she was the
admiration of all who saw her, and was the
fastest cruiser in the world. There are
many now that could outsteam her. and
dozens that could whip her hands down."
