SOME INTERESTING EXPERIENCES.
Prof. w. II. Wiley sees an operation
for appendicitis performed. -His
son is meeting with much VAL
uable aid.

Prof W. p. Wiley on his recent
trip east visited the hospital in
Baltimore in which his son DIR. w
T. Wiley is inferno. While there
a number Of very interesting oper-
ations were performed. Among them
was that for appendicitis. This is a
thing that is seldom seen by lay
man and Prof. Wiley was very much
interested in it.
In the course OF year more than
a thousand operations are performed
at this hospital and Vain assists at
them all This has already given
him a chance to study more opera
tions in the short time that he has
been there than the average surgeon
sees in a life time. The training
will be valuable.

FATALLY WOUNDED.
Nell Boyers struck by a falling
jack and almost killed.

The base of the Skull is fractured.
Small chance for his rec0yery--H0w
The accident 0ccurred-A peculiar
mishap--Drs. Hartigan and Gibbons
now working on the wounded man.
Nell Boyers one of the carpenters
on the public school building lies at
the point Of death and there is not
one chance in a thousand for him to
recover. The.base of his skull is frac-
tured and rarely do the victims Of an
accident of this kind recover.
The blow which caused the fracture
was received from rolling jack.
This fell from the top of the wall
about fifteen feet above the top Of
Boyers head striking him fairly in the
top of his head
He was standing with two other
workmen ready to begin work at one
O'Clock. Another workman on the
wall stepped on beam 10 such a
manner that the jack was knocked
over board. Before ii was seen it
had struck its victim squarely.
He fell like stone and when Drs.
Hartigan and Gibbons who were sum-
moned at once came they found that
the base of the skull was fractured.
1t is also feared that the wounded
man is bleeding inwardly.

COMMISSION FOR A PRIVATE.
State Authorities ask that Billy
Cramer be discharged
from the Regulars.

He is member of the Sixth Cavalry
and is now at Santiag0-The War
Department has not said what they
will do--Should he be released he will
be given a Lieutenancy in the new
regiment from this State-0ther
news about the regiment-A rivalry
between the town from the State.
1t has been decided to give w.
c. Cramer who is at present mem
Der of troop X of the sixth cavalry
at Santiago a commission in the sec
ond regiment now at Charleston. He
it will be remembered was removed
from the first regiment for conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man and at once entered the regular
service being assigned in the 9th cav
airy. With this he went to Cuba
and did some heavy fighting in
front of Santiago.
The state authorities have accord
ingly asked the war department to
discharge Cramer from the service
in order to allow him to enter the
second regiment. 1t has not yet
been learned whether the request
will be granted but it most likely
will be. Cramer's friends here know
that the charges III the first instance
were greatly exaggerated and that
he will make record for himself
from this time ON that all will be
proud of. He was said to have been
the finest drill master in the first
regiment and stood among the best
all round officers in the regiment
His gong in the regulars as pri-
vate shows his nerve and that he
has had the experience under fire
will not hurt him any.
Nearly every one here knows Billy
as he was familiarly called and they
will be interested in his course in
the new regiment. However it may
be that he will refuse the protfered
place but that is not regarded as
probable.
The regiment is having trouble in
getting hospital stewards and sever
al young men who have been given
the places have refused to accept
them after a few days experience.
There is thought to be some hidden
reason impelling them to this course
but nothing has come to light to
show what this is.
The regiment will be kept where
they are for some time yet and they
will be armed and equipped as soon
as possible. The new style of guns
will be issued to them and they will
start to the front with better
equipment than the first regiment
had. A friendly rivalry has been
started between the two regiments
as to which of them is the best and
in order to settle it actual service
will have to be experienced. Pend
ing the settlement however it will
be worse for any enemy that either
chances to meet.

UNDER WAY.
The Beginning of the End of
Street Paving.

Brick is being piled ON the streets and
new car loads are coming in every
day. No further delay from this
source is expected. contractor
will be here in few days to start his
part OF the work.-A gas main is be-
ing put in on Main street.-Large
force of men employed. They are
above the Wallace House good way.
Other notes on the coming improy-
ment.
The first car load of brick to be
used in the street paving is here and
the brick is being placed in position
on the lower end of Main street
where the paving will be commenced.
The haulers are Wharton and Hart
man who took the contract for the
hauling The ear came in on Wed
nesday and the hauling began on
Thursday morning. The brick is
stacked under the direction of the
city engineer.
A great many people have been
examining the brick as they are
quite curiosity and have been ex-
pected for SO long that the inspec
ton is full of interest. Some of them
look like they would stand anything
and others seem to be brittle and
give promise of lots of trouble If they
were put down. However they will
all be inspected and none will go in
to the street until the inspector is
satisfied that it is all right. The
color of the brick is light one and
one that will be trying to the eyes.
Main street is to be paved with
these The paving will begin just
as soon as there are enough on the
ground to finish one block. This
will be inside of a week and the
company will hereafter keep the
supplies coming fast enough to keep
the contractor moving He will be
here in few days and will start his
men to work just as soon as he can
He is anxious to have the work I'M
der way and get it done as soon as
possible.
The street is now being underlaid
with large gas main so that there
will never be any necessity for tear
ing it up on that account in future
years. This main runs right up the
center Of the street and there is a
large force of. men at work on it. At
every street it is being connected
with the smaller mains at the side
which are likely to prove inadequate
to the demand which will be made
on them in short time.
The hitching racks have been re-
moved and they will never go back.
The council committee of the reloca-
ton of the telephone and telegraph
poles have not decided on what
course of action they will take. They
will likely have all the poles in line.
have them of uniform height and
have the different lines of poles
painted in different and distinctive
colors.
The shade trees are to be preserv-
ed if nothing else is done and the
street when the improvement is com
pleted will be one of the handsomest
in the country. While the work is
going on however each block in turn
will suffer from having its business
disturbed as there can be no hauling
on the block during the course of
paving and short time after the
brick go down. But this will only
be temporary in its nature.
A Strange Lawsuit.

Another Man Froze to Death.

fan is worth going to see.

Officials OF the Treasury Depart

that the money sharks have been balk-

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few ofthe Things that have
been done in the last
tWenty-four hours.

Sampson reports that the
work of wrecking the Maria
Theresa is progressing very
satisfactorily and that she
will probably be raised by
Sunday. Work will begin on
the Reina Mercedes to-day
and she will be raised at once.
General Miles after it was
announced several times that
he had left for Porto Rico has
finally cotton under way and
IS expected to get there by
Sunday. All the troops which
will possibly be needed will
be sent to the island. The
number of ships acting as es-
cort to Miles is a very large
one.
Troops are leaving Chicka-
manga in great numbers but
the first West Va. is still there
They will leave in a day or so
it is reported. Nearly all the
troops there will be taken.
General Garcia is not dead
as he was reported a day or
SO ago but he has sent a let
ter to Shafter resigning his
position as an ally to the lat
ter. From the tone of the let
ter which is given in another
place it would seem that the
insurgent leader had not been
treated just right by Shafter.
Dewey has sent another
report of the status of affairs
at Manila. He is very much
encouraged at the arrival of
the second expedition and he
will probably demand the sur
render of the place and will
lombard it. The lombard
ment will take place to-day or
tomorrow it is thought in
Washington.
Secretary Long denies the
story that the fleet under
Watson was not to sail for
Spain and says emphatically
that it will proceed soon on
its mission.
