SUNBONNETS FOR HORSES.

The Luton chamber of commerce has received from the new government de- partment of commercial intelligence several specimens of foreign-made hats for horses sent to England by the Brit ish consul at Bordeaux, who in his re- port states that they are now in gene ral use there. In order to prove their utility he further adds that only a few years ago the tramway company at Bordeaux lost annually during the hot weather no less than twelve horses, on an average, through sunstroke, but since the introduction of the headgear in question they had not lost a single animal from that cause. The speci- mems mentioned are made of rush, in the shape of wide-brimmed and high crowned hat, with holes for the horses ears, and bound with red braid and strings to tie under the chin.' The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is stated to have al- ready taken the matter up seriously and orders to a considerable extent have. it is said, been placed with one of the largest manufacturers in Luton for these "sunbonnets for horses" Atten- ton has also been directed to a custom followed in America, where, during the hot summer months, a wet sponge is fastened under the headstall between the horses ears. The sponge is rewet at intervals and seems to afford great relief to the horses.-Invention.

HANGED THAT HE MIGHT LIVE.

Peculiar Surgical Operation Successful
 al.
 A very delicate and extremely rare surgical operation has been performed successfully at the French hospital in this city upon c. Hoffman, a young German farmer. By it not only his life has been saved. but he is on the speedy way to the recovery of health. Hoff- man was employed on farm near Knights Ferry During the latter part of July he fell backward off a wagon, striking the hard ground with the back of his head, and fractured the third cervical yertebra, an injury which in nearly every case proved fatal. An ex- animation by the physicians in the country disclosed the seriousness of the injury, and they gave it as their opin- ion that not one in a thousand ever could survive it. The fracture prevent ed the moving of the injured mans head in any direction. The slightest attempt to move the head caused vio- lent vomiting, brought on fainting spells, and impeded respiration. The patient was given very little nourish- ment with spoon, and had to be kept constantly in one position. His frame wasted away, and yet he fingered, suf- fering great agony.
 On August 11th he was brought to the French hospital in this city, where the physicians decided upon an operation as the only possible means of saving the life of the patient Tn the presence of the hospital house staff and a num- Der of consulting physicians the opera ton was performed August 18th. An incision was made in the neck, exposing the vertebrae, which showed the injury to the third process, the arch of which was removed, as was a portion of the second vertebra, thus removing the ob- stacle to the unrestricted motion of the head. The wound was closed and an extension apparatus applied.
 The patient rests on an inclined plane The weight of his body acts as coun- ter extension to the weight applied to the extension apparatus which is at taChed to the head, and the patient is virtually suspended by the neck until he shall be restored to health. The wound has been dressed four times since the operation was performed, and the patient is doing we'll. At the last dressing Dr. Oscar J. Mayer, the opera ting surgeon, was very sanguine that his patient would soon be restored to perfect health.-San Francisco Chroni- n1

Yes, it was great, indeed-the burial of the general of the west--the hero of the battle of Wilson Creek. It was great, for one reason, because of the vast throng of people who came to sol- emnize its ceremony, religious, civic and military. There have not been many dates, venture to say, in the his- tory of our noble commonwealth when some 10000 persons have come together in single village more than ten miles distant from any railroad center. When such a gathering takes place, if it ever has or ever shall, we may be very sure that the thrilling ardor of a common impulse is at work in the heart of the people.
 That great, sorrowful, outstretched throng of civilians and soldiers: Who that saw 1t on that memorable morning thirty and six years ago can ever forget it! How it filled all the highways with 8 motley mass of humanity! How it reached across the gentle slope of open ground in front of the village church where the body of the dead lay in state, How the tears of men and women who in his early life had known Lyon well fell like rain upon the shrouded bier and mingled with the bloodstains upon the sword and sash that he had so late- ly worn in battle! How our great war governor and our senators and other members of Congress then tarrying in the state spoke of the nations need, while the friend of his youth told the story of Lyons life, and one by one almost in the shadow of the church door the young men of Windham county came forward, nearly a score in number, and signed their names on the enlist ment rolls. And then, most impressive of all that gathered throng-the little squad of tanned and scared soldiers from the army far away, whom Lyon himself had led not a month before on the fatal day of battle. How strange they appeared in the eyes of the peace ful inhabitants of the little valley to which they had come as guard of honor over the remains of their fallen hero! To the simple country folk they seemed like men from a fiery furnace. Their very garments were sacred. Their martial step seemed the tread of victory, and men who had never dreamed of bloodshed hung upon there lips as they told how the fierce battle ragged from morn till noon and the field was strewn with dead and wounded.
 But again Lyons burial was great be- cause of natures auspices on that oc- casion When was there ever a more charming day in September! From the hour when the morning gun was fired till the sun went down in the west the atmosphere was full of coolness. and sweetness and light. Men left their matured crops in the fields to receive from such sun the last friendly touches of healing ripeness. The focks only wondered at the measured boom- ing of the distant cannon, or the shrill sound of the fife and drum that echoed along the hills as the great procession neared the cemetery gates. There they laid the noble dead to rest among the dust of his kindred. There his surviv- ing comrades fired the salute of mus ketry, and as the soft sunlight stole down through the moaning pines the band played sweetly the familiar strains of "Auld Lang Syne." And so they buried Lyon.-Hartford Courant

BURIAL OF GEN. LYON.
Impressive Scene of Early War Days
 Recalled.

RecdlleQ.
 Sunday Sept ,, was the thlrty-sixth anniversary of the burial of General Nathaniel Lyon, the first officer of high rank in the Union army to fall in bat tie during the war of the rebellion. His sudden and lamented death at that early period of our great struggle was a tragic affair, and was looked upon by the entire north as a deep loss. Had Lyon lived to enter fully into the con- fiict, he would have assumed, undoubt- edly, before it's close a very high posi- tion beside that of Grant and Sherman and Sheridan in the list of our leading generals; for he possessed in large de- gree, as General sherman afterward said, the qualities of great command CT.
 The occasion in 1861 of his burial ia the little inland town of Eastford his native place, is not forgotten. nor can it ever be by any who were then living ill that section. The sad event will be told in future generations as the greatest day that Eastford knew. And it was, indeed, great occasion. There were the essential elements of solemn sublimity and grandeur in its very ma ture Occurring in a populous city 1t could scare have been more note worthy at such time. Or if the heros grave had been opened and closed in distant desert it would nevertheless hay sill been possessed with the halo Of ,en0wn. As 1t was his Iowly rest ing place was in the midst Of beauti- ful ruras New England to"a. where the extremes 1f wealth and poFerty. ot natural grandeur and desert dreariness were conspicuous by their absence.

PLAN TO BORROW S2o,ooo
Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page) ruled that the point was not we'll taken. The decision of the chair was appealed from and was not sustained, the vote taken resulting 10 to against suS- taining. Mir Isbell's motion to rise was then put and lost by the vote of ' to 9.
 Councilman c. F. Burton then moved that the committee recommend the adoption of the resolution. Councilmtn Isbell, Burgess and Graves protested, claiming that public hearing should be given on the resolution before it was voted upon.
 Councilman Stewart said that he was not opposed to street hardening, but he feared that the depths specified in the resolution were not sufficient. He said that if any member would convince him that the depths were sufficient he would vote for the resolution. In an- swer to this President Burton stated that he had been told yesterday by prominent contractor that six inch hardening was amply sufficient for Edgewood avenue. The contractor had told him that he would stake his repu- tation on this opinion.
 Councilman Dove also spoke strongly in favor of the resolution. He thought that there was no need of referring the matter to the board of finance as tine money for the work has already been appropriated.
 The motion to recommend the adop- ton of the resolution was then put and was carried by a vote of 15 to 4, the counciImen voting against the motion being Messrs. Liefield, Burgess, Isbell and Graves.
 The committee than arose and Pres ident Burton again took the chair.
 Councilman Fuller at once raised the point that the matter had not been properly referred to a committee for hearing.
 The chair decided that proper hear ing had been given in the committee of the whole, saying that the word hearing in the latter part of section 132 of the charter was synonoymous with the word discussion"
 MT. Fuller appealed from the decision of the chair, but the chair was sustain ed by a vote of 10 to g.
 Councilman Brown moved that the recommendation of the committee of the whole be adopted.
 Councilman Burgess moved to table the resolution. His motion was put and lost by a vote of to 10. The mo- tion to adopt was then put and car ried.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1897-09-14

Several petitions regarding walks, curbs and lights were referred to the proper committees, and the communi- cation from Anthony Carroll in regard to the wording of and manner of let- ting contracts was referred for a hear l ing.
 l A communication from the board of health reporting on the unsanitary con- dition of the streets, and asking that immediate action toward cleaning them be taken, was received and ordered on file,
 A communication from the mayor was read, stating that he had received mo- tice that a United States government official would hold a hearing on Octo- Der on the proposal to build draw bridge over West river on Kimberly avenue.
 On motion of Councilman Isbell 1t was voted to instruct the corporation counsel to appear at the hearing and oppose the building of the bridge.
 An invitation from Columbus, Ohio, inviting the mayor and common coun- cil to attend the convention of mayors and common council members to be held in that city next month, was re- ceived and placed on file.
 A recommendation from Director Beecher of the department of public works that the time for building of sidewalks ordered and not yet complet- ed be extended to October 15, 1897, was placed on file.
 The communication from the mayor accompanying his veto of the resoIu- tion for street hardening was again brought up. At a previous meeting the councilmen voted not to recede from their former action in passing the resolution. The aldermen at their last meeting voted to postpone indefinitely consideration of the matter, and the councilmen voted last evening to con- cur with the aldermen.
 The report of the committee on revi- sion of ordinances was read, and the councilmen concurred with the alder men in tabling it for printing.
 Councilman Burton offered a resolu- tion providing for the transfer of $100 from the gas account of the street lighting department to the sundry &C., count of the same department, to be used towards paying the expenses of the street lighting convention to be held in Columbus, Ohio, next month, the money to be used as the lamp com mittee may direct.
 Councilman Gruener opposed the transfer, saying that he thought that already too many expensive trips have been taken at the expense of the city. The resolution was finally referred to the board of finance.
