SARATOGA, N. Y, May Is, 1S95.-Com-
rade James Fox of J. H. Bosworth Post,
G. A. r., of Fair Haven, VT, who fell
about 40 feet down a stairway in the
Columbian Hotel. is in a fair way for
complete recovery. His case is a re-
markable one. When picked up he was
apparently dead, and Coroner M. E.
Varney, who is also a surgeon, was sent
for. His quick eye detected signs of
remaining life, although no beatings of
the heart were observable.
He resorted at once to artificial res
p.ration and soon Fox began to breathe.
DR.. Varney sent for Drs. Inlay and
Noriarta to aid him and on their arrival
made a full examination of the patient.
His neck was found to be dislocated at
the second c~ervical vertebra. By a care
full surgical manipulation the column was
replaced and bandaged without injury to
the spinal cord and Mr.. Fox at once re-
gained the power of speech and full
respiration. DR.. Varney remains in
charge of the case and the patient is
quite as well as ear be expected this

NEW YORK. May Is, 1S95.-A public
hearing in the matter of the railroad
bridge across the Shrewsbury River at
Oceanport was held today before Colonel
Gillespie, of the Board of United States
Engineers, in the Army building on
Whitehall street. The people of Ocean
port claim that the bridge interferes
with navigation.
When the bridge was built in 1888 the
citizens protested against the narrowness
of the draw and the railroad people pro-
missed to widen the draw, but failed to
do so. Two hearings have been held
before and the widening of the draw has
been recommended but the Secretary of
Wa disapproyed the recommendation.
A delegation of business men from
Oceanport and Eatontown was present
at the hearing today, but the Central
Railroad of New Jersey was not repre-
scented.
Lawyer Steen, for the delegation, said
that the citizens nave continually pro-
tested against the bridge since it was
built. ""The right to navigate a river is
paramount to all other rights" said Mr..
Steen. 1.-THE railroad people urge the
cost of the bridge and the little value of
the m on the river. The relative
value does not enter the question Of
