SHE SWALLOWED
THIMBLE.
Dispute Between Physic-
ians is Settled by Means
of the X Rays.

Eight weeks ago yesterday
Ellen Harris, the o~year-old
child of Mr.. w. E. Harris, of
Harrisburg, N. c., swallowed a
small brass himble. She devel-
oped bronchial trouble in few
days, and could not swallow.
She was fed by means of tubes
inserted down the oesophagus.
After all ordinary means were
exhausted, DR.. Henry Louis
Smith, of Davidson College, N.
c., who was first to operate the
X rays in North Carolina, was
sent for. He located the thin bic
to the lrft of the bacl: bone, the
small end upward, pointing to-
ward the left shoulder. The
thi1nble was seen in the Cnild's
body by fifteen or twenty per-
sons. There are two tubes run
ming down the neck, the oesa-
phagus. lying Immediately in
front of the backbone, and the
wind pipe, which is Immediately
in front of the oesophagus.
AS several of the doctors held
to the oesophagus theory, an
experiment was devised to ascer>
tain beyond a doubt in which of
the tubes the thimble had lodg-
ed. The method taken of deter
mining this was the passing of
a flexible steel tube down the
o5sophagus. DR.. Black inserted
the tube while DR.. Smiti; watch
ed it 20 down from behind the
the back of the body At the
first experiment the tube seemed
to go through the thimble (the
thimble being an open top one),
but by shifting the body, posi>
ton was obtained in which the
steel tube, it was seen, passed
clearly outside of the thimble,
thus proving that the thimble
was not i'll the oesophagus.
Last Saturday morning at the
Charlotte Medical and Surgical
Institute, all operation was per-
formed, and the thimble remov-
ed. The child is doing we'll.

within a circle of small blocl
houses commonly dignihed il

work to do, no soil to till, n!
seed to plant and only begging

exact measure of the dead line
circle drawn around them, but
there was certainly, if any order
had newly PRINTED them to GO
a short distance turther out,
| they had not gone and were not
going. Practically they are
prisoners. At every one of the
numerous stopping places along
the road a similar collection of
huts could be seen, and at most
of them beggars, often nice look
ing women and beautiful chill
dren, invaded the cars. Between
the stations, although | travelled
always by daylight, as the Trains

BILE, | saw no signs of the recon~
centradoes going away from the
forts. If they had gone, it takes
seed, instruments, land and three
or four months to raise the
vegetable which could be soon-
est produced, and nowhere away
from the block houses was there
any sign of vegetables growing.
Nearer the larger towns the
circle of concentration seemed
to be somewhat larger aud some
planting of vegetables, tobacco,
ETC., few persons, possibly some
of them reconcentradoes, found
employment.
Gail along the railroad, as lar
as could be seen, were stretches
of most fertile and beautiful

most of these the Royal palms.

ing from Guines TO Havana, saw
the sky lighted up all along the

partly Of cane. The whole land

mills where cane was growing,

mill and cane were surrounded
by the forts, manned by soldiers,

ces, cha. liable Cubans were nurs-

Thorn was sentenced to be

although she was equally guilty
with Thorn, she had made

become a witness for the State.
Judge Garretson said the court

in testifying against Thorn.

A NEWbERN SCANDAL.
President of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad
in Trouble,
New Bern Ablaze With
Indignation
President Hancock is Charged
With Rape and Seduction
of His Mecca Suit
Now Pending For
$4,000.

-
of the Atlantic & North Caro-
lima Railroad, is in serious trou
| BILE at New Bern, N. c., and the
story of his crime is a most re
voting one, over which the i'll
dlgnation of the people of New
Bern has never before been sc
much aroused. It seems to be
the general opinion that Han,
cock is guilty man, and some
very strong terms are being used
as to the punishment that ought
to be visited upon him in case
he is proven guilty.
He is charged with the seduc-
ton of his wife's niece, Miss
Anna Abbott, and it is probable
he will be indicted for rape. 1t
seems that Hancock took his
wife's niece, Miss Abbott, (who
has been living with Mrs. Han
cock to help her in her domestic
work to New York on pleas
ure trip, and while there one
night he came in her room and
forced her * She
says he told her if she did not
submit to his wishes he would
leave her penniless in New York
and not take her back to New
Bern. 1t is also alleged that he
took her to Washington and
other points, and by threats
compelled her to admit him in
to her room and sleep With her.
A few days ago the girl became
tired of being prosecuted by
Hancock, breaks down and tells
the pitiful tale to her mother.
This created a sensation 50
Hancock drove the young lady
from his house, had her sister
discharged as teacher III the gra-
ded schools, and threatened t.
go to Washington and have her
fathers half pay stopped, the
father of the girl having lost his
mind, is retired by the govern
ment on halt pay. He went to
Washington a few days ago and
it is thought he Went for that
purpose.
Miss Abbott is a girl that is
thought great dea. OF by the
people of New Bern and is about
IS years of age.
Papers have been filed with
the Sheriff, charging Hancock
with seduction, and writ has
been issued out of the Superior
Court by the girl and her IN other,
suing Hancock for $4,000 dam
ages. Miss Abbott has secured
the services of Clark & Guion,
w. d. McIver and A. D. Ward ;
in fact, there is not a lawyer in
New Bern, it is said, who would
take the other side. Hancock
has engaged lawyers from Raj
eigh, 1t is alleged in the com
plant that the first offence was
committed in New York at the
Astor House, followed by other
most revolving allegations. Ev-
cry effort is being made by Han
cocks relatives to keep it out of
court, and make a compromise
of the affair.
Hancock was a member of the
last legislature, and is we'll
known throughout the State.
In case the charges are found
to be true, it is the opinion of
all that Governor Russell will
at once remove Hancock from
the presidency of the A. & N.
c. Railroad.

Aldecoa and elsewhere, and
from all | saw and heard, ! be-
lieve that half OF tine 4oc 900

tion. l Know from the official
register of the city Of Santa
Clara, which ordinarily has a
population Of about 1000, that
the number of deaths FOR Decem-
Der was over 900, and showed
an increase, considering the loss
of the former 900 from its total
population. The exact figures
for December are 97I. At that
city the government was dis
tributing 500 single rations per
day out of total appropriation
for the purpose of $4,000. This
was not relief, but mere pros
lorgation of the sufferings of a
small part of the reconcentradoes
of that city.

same condition and have the
same prospect of starvation be>
fore them as had their kindred
who have died. There is as
much need of medicine now as
of food, and they are getting
neither.
THE excuse given by the
Spanish sympathizers in Cuba
is that the troops must first be
fed, and it is certain tina many |

lions which are Immediately
necessary to prevent the death

litical questions, which l desire
