Curious Aids for n Young Man Who
Has an Injured Spine.
From the New York Journal
Lee A. Hervey. q we1l-known young man
of the Woodside section of Newark, Is a
patient at the City Hospital suffering from
injuries of the spine in the nature of a
dislocation Of the vertebrae. Leading sur
geons have been unable to precisely define
the injury.
Six weeks ago he was riding on the rear
platform Of a Bread street trolley car,
crowded and going at a high rate Of speed.
1t collided with another car that had STOP
ped at crossing. Hervey was thrown
backward against the railing with force
that almost doubled him in two. The young
mar Vas of slender build and at the same
instant that his body struck the railing his
head was thrown backward with q snap
that made it almost touch the middle Of
his back He hung almost motionless, and
the conductor and passengers who rushed
to the young mans assistance, thought
that he was dead.
Absolute immovabilfty was required that
natures healing process should not be dis
turbed. and in order to secure that the pa
t. - cad, eek and almost the entire
back to the base of the spine was imbedded
in sand bags.
In that position, without moving scarcely
a muscle, young Hervey has been for the
lest six weeks, ard the surgeon says it is
impossible to tell how much longer he will
have to remain that way.
Hervey Is certainly recovering, for while
unable as yet to move either arms or legs,
he experiences sensations in both. and that
is indicative of resumption Of a healthy
condition of the spinal cord. because while
1t does not control the motion Of these
limbs, 1t does the sensations.
All the doctors agree that the case is one
Of the most remarkable on record. Several
specialists have examined the patient and
consulted with his attendants.
Hervey maintains stcical demeanor and
Is very little trouble to his attendants He
Is confident that he will recover.

Iowa Republicans Anxious.

Dies MONIES. July 14.-As the result
of several consultations among the lead
ing Republicans of the state, who are
here in advance of the convention, to-
morrow, it has been decided to inaugu-
rate the campaign as soon as possible
after adjournment and push it with all
vigor possible until election day. An
especial effort will be made in regard to
the congressional tickets. 1t is feared
that the silver movement especially, if
IL results in harmonious combination
Of Populists and silver Democrats, may
jsopardize Republican success in some
districts.
