rested Smiths only chance for a useful arm.
 The process of making such a graft, as described by the Examiner, is neither long nor complicated. A healthy rabbit is taken and thoroughly washed in soap and water. The beast is then saturated, as to the hair, with a solution of corrosive sublimate in water to destroy any poisonous germ which migh have remained in the coat. The rabbit being perfectly "aseptic," as 1t is called, is killed by blow on the neck, and the surgeon lays bare with a scalpel the long bone of the hind leg. The bone is cut from it's place with pliers and thrown into a vessel full ,of the corrosive sublimate, and all is then ready for the actual graft ing. The patent is then given ether until unconscious, and in such case as that of Smith the arm is freely incised over the spot at which the break oc- cured. When the bone is fully ex- posed the ends of the fragments are well scraped, or if necessary bits are cut away so that the ends shall present clean, new surfaces. When the scrap ing is finished the wound is thoroughly "dSACO "AG1 bA SO1uG1OuS Gnc washing extending to every part and being continued until it is certain that no particle of unsound flesh or bone re, mains. Then the rabbit bone is quick. ly pounded up in a mortar into frag. meHts, which are thoroughly washed with the mercurial solution, and with the fragments of rabbit bone the space between the ends of the broken bone ir the arm of the patient is packed. A final douche of antiseptic fluid is given and the wound is closed and left under light dressings, the arm being fastened to a splint.
 If all goes well there is little or no in. hammation. Evidences of healing arc at once shown. The rabbit bone is partly absorbed and from the human bone are thrown out processes which enter into tho bone material stolen from the rabbit. Blood vessels arc formed in the new material, and in time a new and sound bone replaces that which was fractured, and the man is restored to health and ability to make ; living by manual labor.

 1 Bone grating is new thing, and the surgical world is slowly and cautiously feeling it's way toward pronounced opinions about its propriety and safety ias a remedial measure. The first op- eration of the kind made in San Fran cisco was performed recently upon a ,lumberman named Smith, and 1t gives such promise of success as to encourage both the operator and the subject. Smith was rolling logs in sawmin on Kings river, when big spruce log be- came loosened and fell upon him, break ing his right arm at a point three inches below the shoulder joint. The fracture was dressed, but in a few days Smith rebroke the partially joined bone, and acting on advice went Ito San Francisco and su omitted him. self to medical college professor who has a reputation for surgical skill After due study of the case the pro. lessor decided that in bone graftin

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

 ment at the Mouth of the Shaft.
 STEUBENvILLE, O., Nov. 22. It seems almost a miracle that the loss of life at the Blanch coal mine at Golfers w. Va, was not much greater. The explosion occurred as the men were returning from dinner, which was providential, for had it occurred ten minutes later the destruc- tion of life would in all probability have been something awful.
 The force of the explosion is shown by the distance some of the men were blown. Wesley Anderson's body was thrown through the air distance of over 100 feet.
 It Is supposed that the explosion was caused by piece of fuse which became lighted in some manner and conveyed the fatal spark to the boxes in which the powder cans were kept.
 The names of those who were killed are as follows:
 JOHN FIosKY,
 WESLEY ANDERSON.
 MICHAEL CoHoKER.
 The wounded are:
 William Anderson, blown a distance of 50 feet over trestle, leg broken, face and head badly bruised; will die. Edward Cook, horribly burned about head and back; will die. John Gillespie, burned inwardly and cannot recover. John Anderson, head badly cut Lawrence Campbell, burned about arms, head and back. John Raging, burned seriously about arms and head. Matthew Wright, burned about head and back. George Teeters, injured internally. John Ramsey, burned about head an arms.
 John Hully, a miner, is missing, but it is not known whether he was about al the time of the explosion or not. The scene at the mouth of the mi ne following the explosion was one of great excitement. The entire population gathered, anG the women, supposing, at first, that more of the men were in the mine than
 really were, begged that rescuers go into the mine. It would have been death however, to have gone ill before the ail had cleared. ! @That some of those who were in the mine were not suffocated to death is due l to the presence Of mind of James Clark | and James Borden, who got the outside door of the shaft, which had been blow1 from its hinges, ana replaced it.
 The mine belongs to H. Smith, of New l Cumberland, w. Va, and William Smitl
 and John McNutt, of Wellsville. Apo u l 50 men are employed in the mine, whicl
 has been in operation since May, 1891.

IF we mistake not, the special com- mittee that engaged Engineer Herring to look into the matter of .an additional water supply, was created upon the recommendation of the board of water commissioners. It was understood that Engineer Hering's report would be adopted. And it would have been, without further discussion, had he recommended the Hop brook or Quassa- paug projects. He favored going east for water and immediately the water commissioners took steps to prevent the carrying out of his plans. We hope the members of the court of common coun- cil will stand firm and not allow their better judgment to be set aside by the calamity bowling" of this autocratic board.

UNCLE JERRY Is MAD.

President Harrison has borne his de- feat in such manly way that he has won the respect and admiration of even the staunchest democrats. The mem- bers of his cabinet have had little to say, although it was well known that more than one of them might have said some very interesting things had they been so disposed. This being the situa- tion, a sensation was created in high republican circles, when jovial Secre- tary Rusk opened his ammunition box and fired red hot shot straight at the head of the man who has been privately charged by MT Harrison's close personal friends with having exerted his power full influence in the republican party to lessen the vote for Mir Harrison. Although Secretary Rusk called no name he made it as plain as though he had spoken through the most powerful trumpet ever made, that in his opinion James G. Blaine, the ex-head of the Harrison cabinet, was the traitor upon whose head the wrath of the republican party should be poured.
 It is learned from trustworthy sources that MT Harrison was averse to such statement being made by any member of his cabinet, not because he believed 1t untrue, but because he thought it undignified and unnecessary. But Secretary Rusk had it in for Blaine, whom he once admired so much that he named his son after him, ever since last summer, when Blaine tried to deprive him of the credit for restoring the European privileges of the American hog, and later to use him to defeat Mir Harrison's re-nomination, in his own language: "Tried to make a traitor of me-" He might have held in until he was out of office, but for his accidental discovery of indisputable evidence tha'
 Mir Blaine had much to do with the loss of his own state, which he worked sc
 hard to keep in the republican column
 That settled in, he had to have his say
 and it was in pretty close accord with
 what many members of his party think
 without saying.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 22-It is stated and generally believed that the place selected by President elect Cleveland at which to spend the brief vacation which he has planned to take is Newberne, N. c. The place is an ideal winter home, situated in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and sufficiently inaccessible to daunt the spirits of the most persistent slate maker or office seeker.
 MT. Cleveland's sole object in leaving New York is to get much needed rest, a nd to void the legion of callers, who adopt every known expedient to get by his butler. MT. Cleveland will probably leave for North Carolina tomorrow or Thursday.
 MT. Cleveland received yesterday at his residence ex-Secretary oi State Thomas F. Bayard, ex Mayor Garter H. Harrison of Chicago and MT. Bardele- benn of Birmingham, Ala. These three gentlemen called on MT. Cleveland at his own invitation, and, presumably, th' visit was of political significance.
