GLASS IN HIS EYE.
A Peculiar Case Treated at the Re.
CeiVin@ HOSPITAL.


John F. Murk, 4S Seventh street. walked
into the Receiving Hospital yesterday
morning with handkerchief bound over
his right eye. He said he had got mixed
up in a fight ON Thursday night when
some one threw a beer-glass at him, which
struck MIN on the side of the nose and was
shattered in pieces. He thought the blow
must have injured his eye, as he could not
see very well with il.
DR.. Somers. who was busy with another
patient, asked Steward Trewin to examine
Murk's injured eve, and TO the stewards
establishment he found piece of glass in
the shape of triangle buried in bis eye.
1t measured about one inch In length and
half an inch at the TOD. Fortunately the
ball of the eye was untouched. 1t seems
extraordinary that such a large piece Of
broken glass could have been for nearly
two days mbedaed in Murk's eye without
him being aware of it.
