skin Grazing at st. Adams.

A delicate and difficult surgical operation
was performed at st. Adams recently.
Thomas Ryan, young man of "a, has
been suffering for seven months with a
damned foot that he received last Scptem-
Der while breaking on the railroad. The
foot was crushed horribly by the car wheels
but the doctors succeeded in saving the
member, but space on the heel, three
inches long and two and one-half wide,
refused to heal. Skin grating was resorted
to as the only means of cure, and 80 pieces
of skin, taken from underneath the tlcxure
of the patients knee, were applied to the
wound. The CRAFTS were fresh looking,
soft and succulent, and were placed on the
granulating surface of the wound III a cir
cular form, with parallel rows in the mid
die, and were gently pressed into the wound
with sufficient firmness to allow it to ad-
here. The wound was Immediately cover
ed with oil silk and again by layer of
absorbent cotton. On examining the wound
Saturday it was found that the CRAFTS had
taken life and the heel, in few weeks
would be in its normal condition.

The arrest at Melbourne, Australia, of a
man named Williams, charged with muir
dering a woman there, led to the discovery of
a terrible crime at Rain Hill, a part of Liver
pool, Wednesday. The strange disappear
ance of woman and four children from Rain
Hill. led to an investigation of the house
where they lived and which Williams also
occupied, and the bodies were found under
the.cement floor. The more the matter is
Investigated the stronger the belief is that
Williams is none other than Jack the Rip
per. His visits to London while living at
Liverpool correspond to the times of the
murders at White chapel, and the descrip-
ton of the murderer tallies with Williams S
appearance exactly.
