GREENsBrEG, Pa, Dec. 10. 1t is stated
here on the authority OF the physicians
who attended the ca5e that tho state,
ments OF poison being used on the mill
workers at Homestead would explain
the peculiar ailment that killed Samuel
Neighley, who came home and died here
on the 10th Of last September after a
few weeks service in the Homestead
mills. DIR. Kline, who was first called
to attend TO him, says that the man had
some OF the symptoms Of typhoid, and
as the case diagnosed no other disease

Other physicians who saw the case
later decl@re that while there were
typhoid symptoms there were unmis-
taxable evidences of poisoning, and that
tho subsequent developments have fully
sustained that view of the case

Urging Abolition Of Death Penalties

ALBANY, Dec. l9.-A very deterlnined
effort will he made this winter to have
the legislature repeal the section of the
penal code relative TO the infection of
the death penalty and have adopted in
its stead a life imprisonment section as
the severest penalty to be inflicted for
murder i'll the first degree. Some Of the
strongest advocates of abolition of the
death penalty are returned to the legis-
lature this year, and it is intimated by
these who intend to press the matter
that Governor Flower is not averse to
its adoption. There are at present eleven
murderers in the various state prisons
awaiting death, but the repeal of the
law could not be effected in time to save
any of these men.

told that patient had come to see him
who was strongly recommended by
some fellow practitioners. The doctor
submitted with bad grace and stepped
into his surgery.
Our physician was in the habit of as
certaining the condition of the patient
by asking him to count, and generally
stopped him ut thirty or thirty-five-
quite long enough for the purpose. This
time also DIR. p asked his patient to
count. Time passed on. and the guests

GAinese Surgery.

Like most things in China, the prac.
tice of surgery differs considerably from
that III vogue in less enlightened west
ern countries. Bone setting in the Ce-
lestial empire is complicated affair, and
doubtless much more efficacious than
European methods. In setting q frac.
tnred limb the surgeon does not attempt
TO bring the bones together. but merely
wraps the limb in red clay. inserting
some strips Of bamboo into the clay.
These strips are swathed in bandages,
and in the outer bandage the head of a
live chicken is placed. Here comes in
the superior science Of the Celestial.
After the bandage has been secured the
