A Brokon Neck Reset.

HAYDENsvILLE. Mass, Jan. IA
rare medical case and one that stands
almost unparalleled in the history OF med
icine up to the present time has been sue
cessfully treated in this little village. 1t
Is the re-setting of a broken neck and the
patient, a young man of %. after q con-
finement of three months, is now able to
walk about the village streets. About
three months ago, DIR. Hubert II. FlGgg
of Northampton, while returning from a
visit to a country house, witnessed an
accident by which two young men in a
party of four were thrown from a wagon.
One rolled into a ditch and picked him
self up, but the other lay motionIess 10
the road. His neck was broken. The
universal maxim 10 case of a broken neck
is: Make death as easy as pos
sible." but DIR. Flagg, when a medical
student at the university of Peunsvl-
vania, had decided that if a doctor
got at his patient in time 1t
ought to be possible to set a broken neck
as well as a dislocated shoulder or thigh.
He stepped back to the body, placed his
knees ~ugaiust the patients shoulders and
took the head gently but firmly between
his hands, then turning the head from
side to side delicately, he gave a strong.
steady pull. There was a sharp snap and
the head was again in its socket. Respira-
ton had become imperceptible before the
head was snapped back into its original
position, but this done there was i'm.
mediate relief and a slight respiration
was noticeable. By exercising great care
the young man was transferred a DIS
tance of three miles to his home. DR..
Flaggs holding his head in position all the
time. Inflammation OF the spinal chord
was reduced by constant application OF
hot cloths to the back of the neck night
and day for more than three weeks, and
future treatments 500 put the patient on
the high road to recovery.

New YORK, Jan. Mail advices to
the Associated press from Valparaiso,
Chile, under date of Dec 2, relate an
incident in connection with the refugees
question. showing with what zeal they
are watched. One of them who has been
living at the American legation for several
months left there quietly the last week of
November and went to his home which
was only two doors from the legation.
The spies discovered this and while they
made no immediate attempt to arrest him
they blockaded his house to prevent his
escape. Next day the man requested
Minister Egan to escort him back to the
legation, but Egan notified him that he
had left the asylum voluntary and he was
unable to escort him back.
Thanksgiving day was observed by the
the American sailors in Valparaiso bay by
a number of boat races, and a dinner was
given aboard the Baltimore tn the com
peting crews of the French men-ofHar.
The Baltimore and three French vessels
were the only men-of-war in the port at
the time, and the invitations were not ex-
tended to the Chilean ships to take part
in the races, but at the invitation of Cap
tain Schley the commander of the Coch-
rane and Esmeralda aud several other
Chilean naval officers went aboard the
Baltimore and witnessed the races. The
Americans won three races and the
Frenchmen one. There were also a num-

LONDON. Jan. mo bye-elections
during the existence of the present
government has approached in interest
and vital importance to the coming con-
test for the Rossendale seat vacated BY
Lord Harrington. Both parties are fully
alive to the fact that a loss of this seat will
almost decisive test of the fate of the
ministry and IN the coming elections will
strain their resources in mone and local
influences and be alert in the use of every
compass a triumph. Lord Harrington
held his seat partly iH family interest,
partly on account of personal popularity
and partly as a .Unionist. A vote will decide
whether the electorate, which is fairly a
representative of the whole of Lancashire,
is on purely political grounds Gladstonian
or Dissident. Sir Thomas Brooke. the
Dissideut candidate. is Lord H~artington's
own choice. The Gladstonian candidate
is Mr.. MAIDEN. a young and fluent speaker.
In reality, the Unionists dread the issue,
a rapid canvass of the district already
made having disclosed a surprising Glad
stonian bias.
Victor Cavindisb, who will succeed to
the dukedom OF DevonshIre if Lord
Harrington does not marry, and who was
recently elected without opposition. goes
to the West Derby seat, vacated by the
death of his father.
Lord Edward V. Cavendish was the
first nominee for the Rosesndale seat, but
his youth and the danger of riskinG his
present seat led to the withdrawal of his
name. A report that the new duke will
now marry the dowager duches of Man

A BIG MOB GREETS THEM

Take Strikers Places
Routed From Their Car, They
Take Refuge in a Swamp
BedIam Turned Loose Upon

TheN outted Ia ..seabs.,.

$50 N'D
LITTLE Rock. Ark, Jan. There is
great excitement here in the railroad
circles over the election of 'seab" railway
employees en- route from Indianapolis and
Louisville to relieve those on the San
Antonio & Arkansas Pass road. The
railway men had learned of their coming
and when the train arrived a large crowd
was congregated at the depot. One man
shouted to cut the hose and drop the
car out, and the AIR brake hose was
severed in an instant. When the train
started up, the mob having failed to dis
connect the engineers sigoal cord, the
bell in the cab rang and the train stopped
again. By this time all the engine
whistles In the yard began blowing and
seemed as though bedlam had broker
loose.
Hundreds of men rushed into the
sleeper, driving the occupants, some forty
two operators, machinists and train bands,
from the train aud into the swamps near
bv. Most Of them we're driven INTO the
pond, through which they houndered fol.
lowed by the Infatuated men. The sleeper
was %recoupled to the train and it crossed
the river 10 to Little Rock, where another
crowd of men boarded it and with knives
cut to shreds all the baggage of the I'M
fortunate men. Littletield, who was in
charge OF the party OF new men, with
several of ms companions, escaped and
took a train for Texas. while others Of the
party are still hiding in the swamps.
the railroad officials are eDraged at the
action of their employees. Various rail-
road labor unions are strong in sympathy
with the striking brethren in Texas and it
is a wonder the new men escaped severe
personal injuries.
