A squad Of carpenters resumed work on the

eral days ago, and which had maintained q

put force Of men at work on Monday. They
propose to employ only American citizens in
accordance with the terms Of their contract,
and this. 1t il believed, will avert any further
trouble. A squad of police reserves were held
in readiness for duty at the Hyde Park Station
for time yesterday morning. but as there was
no indication for their services they were sent
about their other duties.

1t appears that the trade unions are not salts
fed with the contract made by the directory
for the work of preparing Jackson Park. The
clause forbidding the employment Of aliens is
all well enough. they say, as far as it goes but
they want the unions and the elght-hour day

THE BONE GRATING CASE.
DIR. Phelps Ofacial Account Of the No
Celebrated Operation.

Celebrated Operation.
The Medical Record of Ne York will today
publish DIR. Phelps official account of the now
celebrated case Of bone. grating recently per-
formed at the Charity Hospital in that city,
wherein it was attempted to supply defect in
the leg bone Of the lad, Johnny Gothins. by
ENGRAVING piece of bone from his dogs leg.
The lad was suffering from an unlimited fracture
of the lower third Of the leg, the result Of an
operation to remedy an anterior curvature Of
the tibia. which had existed and had slowly in
creased from early childhood until he was COM
PEELED to go upon crutches.
In his account Dr.. Phelps, who performed
the operation, says:
Before the operation was performed ths vo-
cal cords Of the dog had been carefully severed
under ether to prevent any disturbance of tn,
patient. At the end of two weeks. however,
the cords had again united and the voice of the
dog sounded fully as strong as before the oper.
alton. On the sixth day after the operation the
wound was found perfectly healed by primary
union without single drop Of pus. Only for
the difference in the color OF the skin it would
have been difficult to detect the line of union.
Finally, at the end of eleven days. there was
| an apparent shrinkage Of the dog in the dress
ings. This allowed of motion, and it became
evident that the graft would be pulled from its
| attachment within a few days. Consequently,
much as desired to continue the experiment,
concluded, as q prospective act Of humanity,
to sever the bond Of union. The dog was chic
reformed during the operation.
while the graft was being trimmed and the
leg of the patient dressed DIR. Kelly skillfully
secured the artery and nicely stitched up the
stump Of the dogs leg. She was then placed
in bed and cared for by the nurse. Az the
graft was trimmed down to the parts still at
tached free oozing of blood took place
through the graft, which demonstrated the fact
that union had takep place and that circulation
had been established between the patient and
the dog. Both patients are rapidly conva-
lescing.

A Storm Extends Over . Wide Area and
stops Telegraph Communication.
A phenomenal sleet storm plastered great
areas Of the country with ice last night from
the Alleghenies to the Rockies, north of Mason
and Dixon line. 1t began about 6 p. M, and in
half an hour the telegraph wires commenced to
show signs Of Generalization. By $50 the life
had been temporarily choked out Of nearly
every metal string throughout Q vast belt by
the constantly thickening weather, freezing
crystals stretching from pole to pole.
From Indianapolis west, near Springfield. ILL.,.
and toward Kansas City extended the most
completely wrecked section from a Geographic
standpoint. Thousands Of words of belated
newspaper dispatches piled up unsent in Offices
on the edge Of the affected district. and. while
correspondents cursed. the operators could
only look Selplessly at the crowded hooks and
silent saunders.
Inquiry elected the fact that in the various
railroad telegraph offices in Chicago the dis
pstchers were completely in the dark as to the
movement Of trains. In the emergency the
engineers along the roads we're presumed to be
picking their way along the Shiny rails, ap-
proximating - best they could to schedule
time.

Pittsburg Emerging From the Mud-Enorts

The Ohio river at Wheeling was falling rap
idly last evening. General Superintendent Al
fred Walter of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
expected the Baltimore and Ohio tracks to be
clear by daylight. The water yesterday morn
ing was forty-seven feet high and the railroad
tracks were seven feet under water Although
trains were delayed several hours by making
detours around the high water the trains were
kept moving. The Baltimore and Ohio was the
only road ablc to do this and was the only road
to run trains out of Wheeling.
The river was rising an inch an hour at Gin
cinnati and four inches en- hour at Portsmouth.
The rivers were rapidly falling at Pittsburg.

are innumerable. Deep mud deposits are left
on the principal downtown streets, but an

WRECKED ON A CORAL REEF.
Six Seamen Lost in Efforts to Save Thei
Lives.

Six Seamen Lost in Efforts to Save Their
Lives.
The British steamship Dorian, Capt Donelly,
has arrived at New York from Kingston.
Jamaica, and brought five sailors from the
wrecked British bark Topsy. The men are the
only survivors Of crew of eleven, and the
story they tell Of the drowning Of their captain,
first and second mates two sailors and cabin
boy is dramatic.
The Topsy had . cargo Of phosphate from
Kingston, West Indies. and was bound to Sa-
vannah, Ca She left Kingston January 20 and
started on her voyage up the American coast.
Before she had cleared the Keys heavy north
east gale caught her. Sail was shortened and
the bark hove to, but the heavy seas and wind
drove her to leeward At 10 o'clock on the
night Of January 2G, during the height of the
storm, the surf to leeward warned the captain
OF the reefs near by The vessel was allowed to
fall on and an attempt was made to wear ship.
1t was unsuccessful and at II o'clock she struck
heavily on Grand Cayman. Both boats were
swamped in the attempt to get them over the
side. The second boat carried two sailors down
with her. Heavy seas pounded the ship and il
tween the bark and coast of the island there
was one frothing mass Of sea rushing over coral
reefs and rocks.
Finally an attempt was made to get ashore
on two poorly constructed RATS During the
work the mate was washed away and sank be-
fore the eyes Of his crew. The second mate
followed within a few minutes while trying to
make the timbers Of the raft 80 fast together
that the seas would not separate them. When
the two RATS were launched Capt. Alex Nc
Kenzie, with three men and a boy, boarded one
and five sailors took the other one.I The. cap
tain's raft had barely hoated It's own length
before a curling wave washed the cabin boy
overheard. Capt Mckenzie tried to grasp
the boy and himself lost his footing and
plunged into the sea.
From the other raft only three out of the
five sailors reached the shore. / Within an
hour and half after the Topsy struck she
was total loss. For several DAYS the five
sailors stayed on the barren island, living
as best they could on mollusk and whatever
other fish they could catch. February 2 the
steamer Dorian passed near and saw the
mems signals. A heavy sea was running
and the rescue was effected after an hour 8
hard work.
