Relieved of a TumOr.

Albert cClatchey, CARPENTER, 20
years old, who lives at 401 West Forty
fifth street, New York, came near losing
his life by being crushed under an eleve-
tor at 39i Broadway. A singular feature
Of the accident is that the injur ies he re-
ceived were the cause OF his being re-
lieved of a tumor.
McC.atchey was working in the eleva-
tor shaft at the first floor, hanging a
door, about two i'm the afternoon, when.
without warning. the heavy elevator car
descended and jammed McCatchey's mead
bet ween the car and n heavy plank. He
yelled ana the young man who was rum
ming the elevator reversed IL and released
McClatchcy, who fell to the floor. An
ambulance was summoned. and the in
iured man removed To the Hudson Street
Hospital unconscious.
Restorativts were given TO him aud Nc
Clatchey bsgan to cough violently, as IL
he was choking. In few minutes he
gurgled and emitted what IL was soon
learned was a small tumor. This seemed
To greatly relieve him. ana he sank into
a restful sleep. The surgeons later exam
ined McClacthey's threat. They dis
covered that the tumor had been attach
ed TO the back OF his head in the lsrynx
above the throat. and that the we're
shock had loosened H. McClatchey said
that he had no idea that II was there. lie
was taken home I'm a coach last night by

Married Instanter.

The Canadian Australian liner Mi
owera, which has Just arrived at Victoria,
B. c., received an interesting report from
the ship hartford, which she spoke just
before leaving Australian waters. The
captain of the hartford stated that when
passing that isolated spot in the South
Atlantic, Tristan d'Acunha, on his way
from ndoD, a boat came off and hailed
him. Yards were backed and boat was
found containing men, who brought po-
tatoes, eggs, milk and penguin skins for
trade.
They wante ship's stores, stating they
were in great need on the island. They
depend upon passing ships for cloth <,
flour, tea, rice and sugar. When the Dart
ford passed they had been for six months
without seeing a ship. he hartford was
able 20 let them have groceries and a few
odds and ends. Corsets, hairpins and rib
bons were then requested, as well as fe-
male apparel, but as sailing ships carry no
such stores. the ladies OF Tristan were
left disconsolate.
The population of the island is very
imall, the females being three to one.
They consider themselves English, though
under the care OF no flag. The latest
addition TO the colony is the second mate
of wrecked vessel, the Allan shaw, who
was seized and married almost as soon so
the waves cast him ashore.

a large sum of money IL he will verify
the truth Of war incident which IL
alleged to have taken place in Missouri,
and which, IL true, the Massachu etts
man thinks, equals the story of Damon
and Pythias The president announces
that the college will accept the offer, and
requests the students to help him secu o
positive evidence that such thing really
did occur. The story Is that in the early
part of the war, a detachment of Confed-
crate troops in Missouri took about 400
Union prisoners. Twelve OF these prison
ers were lined up and shot without provo
cation by the Confederate officers. Upon
hearing OF this act the COMMANDER of the
federal regiment drafted twelve Confeder-
ate prisoners to be shot in retaliation.
AS the line was being formed young
man named William Lear stepped forward
and asked permission to take the place OF
one of the condemned men who was his
friend. The request was granted and
Lear was shot in the place of his friend.

How il is Distributed
Among City Wards.
Board of CanvaSSerS Complete
Transfer of Names.
Total Gain Is 222l, of Which 7S4 Is
in the Third and Tenth.

This morning the board OF canvassers
ana registration completed the work OF
transferring to the district books OF the
several city wards the names OF citizens
who registered during the year 1895, and
thus qualified themselves 10 vote in the
elections of the present year. This has
been q very laborious, and trying task
but il mas been performed with more &C,
curacy and precision than ever before and
the result is nearer perfect than was pos
sible under the old system. In making
the transfer the board discovered the Curl
Gus fact that quite number OF citizens
had registered more than once. This was
due TO various causes-forgetfulness
chiefly and to the IN staken notion on
the part of some that, having changed
their place of residence subsequent to
their first registration they were obliged
TO register again from their new location.
The elimination of the names duplicated
resulted, of course, In reducing the to-
tai registration from the figures an
nounced at the close of the registration
period of Dec. 81 last. Below is given the
corrected registration figures by districts
and wards as just completed by the board |;

ACTED UNDER ORDERS.
Sailors Found Guilty of Violating the
Neutrality Law.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 2S.-The
mate Peterson and second mate Johnson,
who were on trial i'm the United States
Dstriict Court. charged with violating
the neutrality laws between this country
and Spain by carrying on armed eXpedi-
tion to Cuba on the steamer Horsa came
in with n verdict of guilty this morning.
The Jury retired at O'Clock yesterday
and as they had not reached q verdict
when court adj urned they were locked
up for the night, finally reaching a con-
ciusion at 10 O'Clock last night, after de-
liherating eight hours. Counsel for the
prisoners gave notice in court today that
he would make application for a new trial
and the convicted men were taken to
prison, where they will remain until
brought up for sentence.
The offense for which the three men
stand convicted was committed in the
early part of las. November. 1t was
witnesses that the Hofsa, after he bad
sailed from this port on Nov. s, ostensi-
bly for Port Antonio, dropped anchor
off Barne yat hight and shipped 80 men and
about 80 boxes of arms and ammuni ion
and conveyed them to the & ban coast.
Captain Wiborg was the only one Of the
men who took the witness stand. lie
practically admitted that he had carried
the arms and men to Cuba. but he said
he had done SO under orders from the
owners of the Horsa.
