of good family. She married at sixteen

their married life was unhappy and they
separated. A few years after she went

NOVEL WAR ON A RAILWAY,
Dynamite Buried in the Ground Along
the Proposed Route.

TITUSVILLE, Fla, Feb. 16.-H. NJ. Flag
Ter is building a railroad to Lake Worth
which cuts through many Of the prettiest
places on Indian river. There has been
much trouble about the right of way, prop
erty owners not thinking that sufficient
remuneration was offered. So bitter has
become the feeling on the part of the
property owners that thirty Of them have
combined and placed dynamite along the
proposed route OF the railway through
their lands these bombs being placed so
that they will explode at the strike of
a spade. Signs warning all engineers have
been posted, and the property owners have
notified the railroad officials of steps taken
TO protect what they conceive to be their
rights. This action has brought the work
on the railroad TO a standstill for the pres
ent. The authorities have taken steps IN
the matter, and James Holmes, banker
of Jansen, and J. V. Wooten, tax co..
lecter of Brevard county, have been ar
rested for completely in the dynamite plot
Mr.. Holiness lawyer has advised him to
remove the dynamite and it is reported
that he has agreed to do so. According
TO the last report, the railroad officials were
calling for volunteers to go ahead with
the track laying.

OPERATION FOR HICCOUGHS.
Attempt 10 Save the Life of John Car
berry That May Be Successful.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 1G.-There is some
reason to hope now that John Carberry of
Newark, will lose his power to hiccough
even If he wants to His eleven weeks of
almost constant, though painful and enact
ating practice will go for naught If the
operation performed yesterday is as sue
cessful as was predicted. Carberry will
ingly submitted himself to DR.. CRUDE, a
specialist of this city, who was assisted
by DIR. Henry A. Towle, of Newark. He
refused to take ether, and Jokingly asked
the doctors to tell him when they hurt
him. He lad slept eight hours during the
night, awaking at o'clock in the morning,
free from his trouble and asking for some
thing to eat. He ate toast and ice-cream,
and then rested until o'clock, when a.
paroxysm of hiccoughs attacked him and
lasted an hour. The doctors arrived at 10
o'clock and prepared for the operation,
which was the cutting of the inferior dental
branch of the inferior maXillary nerve. 1t
was successfully accomplished in thirty
minutes Shortly afterward the hiccoughs
returned, but 1t was merely a weak imita-
ton of the spasms which had been racking
him for weeks.
Carberry was resting easily last night, al
though the hccoughS had not left him. 1t
recurs every hour or two, and only
be temporarily stopped by feeding him ice
cream. 1t became known last night that
day, and that ii has proven more effective
than anything else. its action being. ap
parently to chill the nerves. Yesterday s
operation was an exceedingly novel one,
yet very simple. It consisted in the re-
moval of a small piece of skin from the
left lower jaw and then cutting straight
into and through the branch of the maxil-
larry nerve.
Dr.. Towle said last night that it is as yet
doubtful whether a cure will be effected
and that this cannot be determined until
Saturday at least. If the hiccough does
not stop by that time ii will indicate an
incurable trouble affecting the brain. Car
berrys brother, who is a lawyer In At
lanta, Ga, and who read of the case in the
newspapers, sent a letter, which reached
Newark yesterday, asking for a Verification
of the story. Several other letters and tel
egrams and packages of patent medicines
were received. One of the letters, which the
family did not care to give for publication
was from a man who said he suffered from
hiccoughS for month, and that, like Car
berry's, they were caused by the rubbing Of
his chin by a barber.

CHANCE FOR INDIANAPOLIS.


CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 16.-The joint book
committee Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church adjourned this afternoon to hold it's
next meeting in New York. The vote for
Cleveland as the place of holding the Cen
eral Conference in May, 1896. was made
conditional on Cleveland fulfilling the prom
ise of its invitation committee as TO facili-
ties and perqufsites, otherwise it may go
TO Indianapolis. This condition is busi-
ness arrangement, not an expression of dis
trust OF Cleveland. The committee favored
the transfer OF the management of San
Francisco business to Cincinnati and Chica-
go. 1t has formerly been done in New
York.
Rev. Frank Crane was confirmed as ed
itor of the Omaha Advocate. 1t was de-
cided that the Book Concern agents at Gin
cinnau and New York should hereafter
carry their own insurance, setting aside a
fund OF 100000 for that purpose by each
contributing $4,000 year for four years
Measures were taken to collect from per-
sons delinquent TO the book concerns, and a
schedule Of limitations of credit was agreed
upon.

tify in the interstate law investigation again

tions General Freight Agent James, Of the

ton to the Supreme Court as TO whether the
present law gives absolute immunity 10 rail-
