FOUND HEALTH IN AMERICA.
New York Surgeons Do what Old World
Practitioners Refused. IA

NEW YORK, February "A surgical
was performed a short time ago at ST.
Luke'ss hospital. % Perhaps the chief
point of interest lies in the fact that Ed
ward Temple Rose, lately a captain in
the Tenth Hussars, of which the Prince
of Wales is colonel, after consulting
with many of the leading surgeons in
England and in France, made the voyage
of the Atlantic especially to have the OPP
Grafton performed here. The operation
consisted in the amputation of the veri
form appendix, which, owing to it's fatal
attraction for stray grape pits, has be-
come sort of popular bugaboo. The
operation, which, under the circum-
stances. was one of the most difficult
and dangerous known to surgery, was
completely successful, and Captain Rose
is now well and strong.
About two years and half ago, Cap
tain Rose had the first attack of his COM
plant, which is technically known as APP
pendicitis, or Inflammation of the veri
form appendix. The appendix is little
pouch at the lower end of the large in
testine. 1t is about six inches long and
the size of a lead pencil 1t is without
any known functions except that of pro-
voking operative surgery. According to
Darwin, its purpose is to prove that man
is evolved from lower brute.
One of the noted English surgeons to-
whom Captain Rose applied admitted to-,
him that in this particular branch of
surgery the Americans were farther adj
vanced than the Continental surgeons,
although it was believed that, under the
circumstances, the operation could not
be successfully performed.
Upon his arrival in this country, Cap
tain Rose was taken to the hospital and,
after two or three days preparation the
operation was performed in the last
week of November. 1t lasted two hours
and half, and Captain Rose was kept
under ether all that time. DR.. William
I. Bull performed the operation, assisted
by all the surgeons of the house staff.

CHASING A RUNAWAY CAR.

How Freight Car Nearly Outran an En-
gine-A Spirited Race From Sheridan
to Pittsburg-The Final Capture and
Heroic Work of an Engineer.
Free of brakes and unattended freight
car thundered over the Panhandle tracks
Saturday night at speed of 30 miles an
hour Hot in its wake an engine followed
in pursuit of the runaway. The race started
at Sheridan, but the car was not caught un-
til it was nearly at Birmingham station.
Saturday night freight train was going
west, and just as the last car was passing
Sheridan station it broke away. AS though
shot from a cannon, the car disappeared in
the gloom. The conductor had his train to
look after, and could not go in pursuit. The
operator telegraphed to Pittsburg to look
out for the car. At Ingram the message
there already fired up. The operator mott.
fled the engineer and the fireman OF the
runaway.
The order had hardly escaped the opera
tors lips until the car thundered past. The
engineer realized the death and destruction
the fleeing car would cause If 1t reached
Pittsburg. In an instant the throttle OF his
engine was pulled wide open and like
grayhound the iron horse sped away in pur
suit. By that time the car had passed
from sight and only the gloom
Of very dark night was visible.
The engine never ran faster. 1t
bounded over the rails like hound in pur-
suit of q fox. A curve in the road brought
the runaway in sight, and from then until
the racers thundered over the Temperance
willie trestle work a prettier race was never
run. From the time the car came in sight,
the engine slowly gained on it. As the Point
bridge was passed the engine touched the
thing. Leaving his engine going at
full speed he run back over
the tender and quickly made q
coupling. He scrambled back to his seat
and commenced to slow up his "horse."
This was done very gradually, and it was
not until the west end of the Birmingham
station was reached that the runaway car
was brought to standstill- A big crowd of
people had gathered there to see the cap
tured and captor come in.

ALL UNIONS INTERESTED.
The Citizens Industrial Alliance Holds An
other Large Meeting-Fifty New Dele

The Citizens Industrial Alliance Holds An
other Large Meeting-Fifty New Dele
gates Taken In-ResoIutions on the
Critchlow Verdict.
The meeting of the Citizens Industrial
Alliance was held in Odd Fellows Hall
on South Eighteenth street yesterday after
noon. 1t lasted four hours, and during that
time many warm discussions were INDUCED
in. About 400 delegates were present from
all the labor organizations in the county.
c. V. Arbogast presided. A number of wage
earners' unions were reported to have been
organized and asked recognition from the
Alliance. About 80 new delegates paid their
initiation fees, and will hold their offices for
the coming year.
Upon the Recommendation of the Execu-
tive Committee special committee will
draft pledge or declaration of principles
which all the members of the Alliance will
be asked to sign. They will then be SUBJ
mitted to the candidates for the coming cleo
tion for thier concurrence. Any candidate
who refuses to do this will not be supported.
In seeking out men for the various offices,
no respect is to be paid to party affiliations
but only fitness and loyalty to the cause of
labor will be considered. There are many
diversified opinions held by the members or
the Alliance as to just what the purpose of
the organization is, but there is more har-
mony than at first SO that the speeches are
becoming unit as to the necessity of united
action.
There are two wage-earners' unions
already in Allegheny, but arrangements
have been made to hold q monster mass
meeting at No. 6S Ohio street, Allegheny,
next Friday. All the labor unions in the
two cities have been invited and big turn
out is expected.
The Alliance yesterday adopted the foi-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That in the trial and acquittal
of Sylvester Critchlow we realize that the
manhood and patriotism that sent forth to
the world that there is a place on earth
where tyranny cannot lightly take the life
of the industrious poor, and that the patriot
ism of its people has made it the greatest
nation on earth, is but slumbering in the
hearts of the people awaiting only the touch
of the tyrant to stir the smouldering embers
into flame that lights the altar of every
home in the land. Be 1t further
Resolved, That in the glorious defense of
Erwin and Argo, Marshall, Bremen, Cox,
Montooth and Reardon, not only the lite OF
Sylvester Critchlow was saved, but the
tree of liberty and equality that was first
planted in the soil OIL America will live to
spread its protecting branches over the
humblest citizen of the nation, and in time,
when they snail be called to make their
plea before the Judge of all, may the peace
they have made this day in behalf of His
children on earth bring the verdict of not
guilty there.

the Keeleyites were welcomed. ALI through
the meeting Mr.. Murphy was like a jumping
jack, always active, never still for mo-

that made his hearers think. "lve got my

years to-day he would be able to pitch
pennies with Andy Carnegie. Mr.. Murphy

but he signed it again, and intends to
keep it.
The Old Boys All Talk
The usual speeches were made by the vet
Grams who stopped drinking l6 years ago
when the movement was started in Pitts
burg. A telegram from Ed Murphy and a
letter from Judge Noah Davis, OF the New
York Superior Court, were read. The Judge
was reclaimed by Murphy and he has not
forgotten it. He sent poem that he wrote
years ago and dedicated to MI. Murphy.
The subject was the gospel Temperance

was read in public for the first time last
night.
Among the speakers was Samuel Moore,

THE LAWS MUST BE CHANGED.

The Bringing in of the Belgians o nder the
Circumstances Shows the Present Law
to Be MISUNDERSTANDING Should
Be Examined Before Going Aboard
Vessels
The landing of the 10 Belgian glass
blowers at New York Saturday caused
quite little comment in labor circles yes
terday. The window glass workers have
been taking great interest in the efforts to
keep them out, as the Belgian workers di-
rectly concern their interests. President
John P. Eberhart, in speaking of the subject
yesterday. said: "While have been taking
much interest in this case and
watching it closely, it has been
entirely in the hands of Mr.. Layton, and 1
do not care to say much about what has
been done. However, l can say that from
the first felt sure those men were brought
here under undue influence, and I think SO
still. After all, the evidence was only cir
cumstantial, but the circumstances were
very strong and the facts were ably pre-
sented. Had it not been for the Belgian
Minister those men would have been sent
back.
strongly than ever the necessity for
change in the immigration laws. The Aws
are as strict rs the present conditions will
permit. but the conditions must be changed.
For instance, I would recommend that all
immigrants coming to this country be e1-
amined on the other side. As it now is it is
almost impossible to make a strong enough
case against anyone to keep him from land
ing, after he has been brought to this side.
The steamship companies are directly in
terested in this matter, and want to keep
the immigrants hers. The case of the Bel
gian glassblowers now makes this
change almost imperative, unless
the laws are to be constantly violated. The
present laws have been tried, and they do
not fill the bill, as I believe as hard fight
has been made as was possible, but it did
not keep those immigrants out.
Il do not think many glass blowers will
be brought in, as work is plenty now in
Belgium, but this does not prevent them or
any kind of workmen, for that matter, from
coming here under undue influence in direct
violation of the law if they choose to do So"

Washed Out at Titusville and Arrested
ALLEGHENY CITY,

washed Out at Titusville and Arrested in
Allegheny City.
The Allegheny police, shortly after 8
o'clock last night, arrested nine Italians in
a house on Craig street. Frank August had
invited eight of his countrymen in for the
evening. They were having a good time
playing cards, drinking and singing, when a
row between two of them over game of
cards occurred, hich would probably have
ended in a murder had the police not arrived
and arrested the party. The names OF those
arrested are Frank August, Philip Gathering,
Mike August, Felix Dowsev, Mike Geruse,
Jacob Carlauzars, Joe Scotdena, Pat Gau-
sea and Joe Martin each put up $50 for their
appearance this morning, but the rest were
locked up.
Frank August said last night that he has
only been in this country for two years, and
although he has worked hard and been
saving, he has very little to show for it. He
said tnut he first located at Titusville, Pa,
and had saved enough money to buy him a
good confectionery and fruit stand in that
town and was getting along nicely, when
the flood OF July last came and washed his
stand away, leaving him without a penny.
He came to Allegheny and commenced
peddling bananas. He has saved about $50,
and intends soon to buy another stand.
