1t is remarkable that the victims of the dis
astcr who are able TO talk upon the subject find
ii impossible to describe the manner in which
their wounds were received. John Thaler. one
of the patients at St. Johns Hospital, is terribly
lacerated about the face and neck, and one eve
is practically put out. He does not seem TO
know how it occurred except that the anliction
came like flash, all at once lie is vigorous
young fellow and bore his troubles bravely. But
when the doctors at the hospital told him that
in order TO save one eye the other must DO re-
moved he objected to the operation. or course
the surgeons felt constrained to respect his wishes
I'm order, however, TO treat his wounds properly
it was necessary to put him Under the influence
of chlorOfOrn. 1t painful 70 hear bis cries
as he was passing from Consciousness under inc
effects Of the drug His mother and brother
visited the hospital, and learning that he objected
10 the removal of his eye, they, too, joined him
in the refusal of their consent to have the opera
ton performed The surgeons believe that his
obstinacy must result in the total loss of his
vision. His other injuries are slight, and he will
undoubtedly recover
Mary Creighton was one of the victims. She
was a bright young GIRL and was a waiter in
the Uopkirs restaurant. One eye was literally
forced out Of its socket. Just how this effect
was produced is strangely unaccounted for by
herself In twnIng she was struck III the
eye by some projecte, and the cyeball protruded
hrnyely. While she rested in the cot, previous
10 the opcration, her head was swathcd IN cloths.
+, Young man entered the room, not knowing
she was there, and not even looking lor ller, DO
he had no reason to believe that she was hurt
