And tho Beating of His Heart Can Be
Plainly seen.

And tho Beating of His Heart Can Be
Plainly seen.
Que OF the greatest examples OF sur
gical skill can be seen at the furnace
wharf in Martins Ferry, where Ernest
w. lighthouse and his family, consist
ing of wife and three childrn besides
himself, is now located in a floating
boat. Mr.. lighthouse is 35 years OF age
and IS from Warren, Pa. About five
years ago he contracted cold which
turned into pneumonia, affecting his
lungs. His left lung began to decay
until he came to the conclusion to go TO
Buffalo, n. Y, to be treated. There he
met DR.. Roswell L. Park, who got his
consent to perform q surgical operation
upon him.
He was taken to a hospital in Feoru-
airy, 1889, and it was decided to take
his left lung out entirely. Five OF his
ribs were sawed of In front and four In
the back to make an opening large
enough TO perform the work and take
the lung out, which was sccessfully
done. He says that after the lung was
taken out that the opening through
him was large enough for two men to
reach through him and shake hands.
The opening in the back has
healed over, but there is cavity now
that he will show any one calling on
him, or inches long and about 4
inches wide reaching clear through to
his back.
Any person can plainly see his heart
beating up against the thin tissue that
only separates it from the outside
world. Also he can force the air from
the bro nchial tube, that the lung was
cut from, so that one can plainly hear
it, He was examined by some OF our
physicians and it is pronounced as
being wonderful sight to see this man
in good health living with one lung.
This morning he will go before the
Wheeling physicians to be examined
and will meet them at the City Hospital.

THE HOUSE.

The special order was called for almost
at the opening of the House this morn
ing. The special order was Mr.. Ovens
resolution asking for appointment Of
three to Investigate the Soldiers home.
Mr. Owen moved that the resolution be
amended SO as TO make the number OF
the committee five instead of three
Mr.. Allen asked for au explanation re-
Garding the resolution before any amend
meuts were made.
Upon vote the amendment was lost.
Mr.. Owen said that there had been fre-
quent complaints against the manage
ment He nad statel that there bad been
complaints made to the governor, that
petitions had been made TO the State
Board OF Soldiers X lief, but nothing
had b EN- doLe. When the bill was
passed Gre ting the bo ne the arguments
were advanced that the old soldiers
wanted home where they could have
the necess ties and comforts OF life. Vt
. to enter the home they must make af-
fidavits OF their poverty before they
could ener the home III they
had any money they could not
get in. IL was not the intention
make this home pauper institution.
Even when the men get into the home
they are subjected to harsh and arbitrary
rules. Some rules are necessary OF
course. But soldiers VINO have been sub
jected to rigid rules Ia the servse
an the army would not be likely to
complain OF ordinary rules. Yet there
were constant complaints of the unjust
rules that were enforced. The second OBJ
lection related To pensions IL IL rule
that all right : 20 pensions must be given
up 60 the state board on entering.
The United states laws were very exact
