HEALED A BROKEN BAcK.-Drs. Jas

HEALED A BROKEN BACK-Drs. Jas.
and Thomas Mccain, Of Pittsburg, Pa,
are about ready to report remarkable
case Of surgery. 1t is that of John Null
ligan, who was cured of a broken back.
In October, 1889, while Mulligan was
descending with wheelharrow under
an iron ore elevator, the elevator
dropped. He received a fracture of the
vertebrac, and as usual with such cases
was paralyzed from the loins down,
He was unable to move his legs. Hot
irons were applied and long needles
run into them, but they were insensiblc
to pain. At the hospital the mans
flesh was actually rotting away. The
flesh protrudcd and huge ulcers formed,
due to the want Of nerve supply in the
legs. This always follows such cases,
causing pressure of the spinal cord
and causes horrible death.
In the presence of IS students of the
Western Pennsylvania Medical College,
the doctors made an incsion inches
long in the mans back. The vertebrae
were exposed. A fracture of the arches
of the tenth and eleventh vertebrae
was found. Fragments of bone were
found pressing on the spinal cord.
This pressure was relieved. In six
weeks the bed sores had alTast healed.
A second operation was performed and
now Mulligan is at work a completely
restored man.

Clements, called on Senators Daniel
and Hunton and Representative Mere
dith on Saturday and presented to
them the following petition, signed by
over 300 Of the principalla land owners of
Alexandria and Fairfax counties.
The undersigned citizens and prop
erty owners of Alexandria and Fairfax
counties, Va, earnestly request that
you will use your influence and vote
for procuring the passage ola bill au-
thorizing the use OF the Aqueduct
bridge for one track of an electric
street railway. Our country is greatly
retarded in development and prosperi-
ty by the lack of such communication
with the cities of Washington and
Georgetown, and as this is with few eX-
ceptions the only bridge in the District
not used for street railway it would
not seem unreasonable to deny us q
privilege granted to others.
The Senators and Representatives
promised to do all in their power to
procure the desired legislation.

j. M. Patterson and wife returned
from Pendleton last night, where they
have been in attendance on the 6. A. R.
reunion and Women's Relief Corps. j.
r. Warner also returned. Portland
used 80 of the 100 tickets sold. Inde-
pent of this enough others went to swell
the delegation to 100.
Mr.. Patterson reports that the re-
union was one of the most pleasurable it
has ever been his fortune to attend.
The Pendletonians exceeded all custom
ary demands in providing for the enter
tainment of their guests. The city was
gaily decorated with flowers and ever
green, and there seemed to be general
desire on the part of all citizens to make
their visiting brethren feel sat home.''
The election of officers resulted in i.
G. Cooper of McMinnville for depart
ment commander, R. l.. Greenleaf vice
commander, and. DIR. Cue of Portland
chaplain.
A camp fire was kept brightly burn
ing all night and until the morning
train came in today that bore many of
the comrades westward again. Mr.. Pat
terson said that not only was the re-
union most pleasurable, but it was
profitable as well to the G. A. r. organ
ization.
