BIG COIN IN A BOYS BODY.
4 Surgical Operation Fails to Bring
IL Forth.

New York. May 29.-Physicians in Pat
erson. N j., are much interested in an
effort TO ascertain the present where
abouts of a half dollar which they say
could win prizes for elusiveness. George
A. Fischer. Superintendent of the Paterson
Ribbon Company's mills. is the owner of
the coin. but his ten-year-old son is the
present unhappy possessor.
The lad was sent on an errand few
days ago and was given the half dollar
to pay for the purchase. He stopped Ii
the house of his grandmother on the way,
and in leaving tried to fasteu the gate aft
er he had passed out. III order to use both
hands he placed the coin to his mouth.
In reaching forward to faseen the hook on
the inner side his throlt pressed ;gainst
the top of the pickets and the sensation
caused him to swallow. The coin lmme-
diately disappeared.
The boy seemed to experience 10 iltt L.
venience. but DR.. John c. Mcccy was wor-
ried. Soon irritation of the threat was
complained of and DIR. Walter B. johnson
was called into consultation. II was de-
cided to have an X-ray picture in order
to ascertain the exact location OF the coin.
This was done at the Office of City Ply
sician Joseph Williams and the piece of
silver pas plainly discernible in the lads

the General Hospital and DR.. Johnson at
tempted to extract the coin with 4 throat
forceps, but failed.
The difficult operation Of opening the
aesophagus was decided upon and Drs Nc
Coy and Terriberry performed it success
fully but the coin was not there. The
physicians said that the relaxation OF th5
muscles consequent upon the administering
of ether must have permitted the half dol
lar to slip down into the stomach. The
wound was closed and boy was yesterday
slowly recovering from the effects ot the
operation. Where the coin has betaken
itself is now a matter Of conjecture among
the physicians. but they are confident that
signs of its whereabouts will soon be
forthcoming. AS soon as these appear and
the patient regains sufficient strength to
permit 1t another operation, probably the
opening of the intestines, will be attempt

DEATH RECALLS A ROMANCE.
Alex c. Lanier's Long Devotion &c
His Successful Rival.

His Successful Rival.
Indianapolis. May 29.-The death Of Mrs.
Stella Lanier on Saturday ended a famous
Indiana romance. Her husband was Alex
ander c. Lanier. a brother of the Junior
member of the financial firm of Wins
low Lanier. OF New York city. He had
large financial interests in this State and
New York, and at his death was regarded
as one OF the wealthiest men in Indiana.
Fifty-flve years ago Stella Goldman was
the acknowledged belle of Indiana. She
lived at Madison. where her father was
merchant. When she was eighteen years
OF age Alexander C. Lanier and Samuel
Scoring. the former rich and the latter
poor, but both about her age, were among
her suitors. Scoring was employed in
Lanier's bank.
Leaving Madison one day for a trip to
New York. Lanier turned to Scoring and
said: Sam, take care Of my girl while
am gone"
Lanier was absent for several months.
and when he returned he found that Seer
ing had followed his injunctons to the
letter and was engaged to wed the girl.
The rich young banker gave no evidence OF
disappointment, and did not question the
right of his rival to the prize.
Scoring went to the war and came out
a colonel and an invalid. Laniers nurse
was practically at his command. and every
comfort that money could furnish was his.
Lanier took him to various places for
treatment. among them Hot Springs. Ark.
One night the house in which they were
stopping caught fire. and Lanier. without
thought of personal danger, groped his way
to the room OF the sick man through the
suffocating smoke, and soon emerged.
bearing his friend upon his shoulder.
Though it was known that Lanier was
providing for the comfort of the invalid.
there was never a breath of rumor derog-
atory to the characters of any of the Par
ties of the strange domestic drama.
Nearly fortyfve years had passed away
when death brought relief to the sufferer
and Mrs. Scoring became widow Lanier
quickly renewed his suit, and five months
after the colonels death led the woman
to the altar.
Lanier died five years ago, and Mrs.
Lanier came here to live with her daugh-
ter. Today her body was laid by that of
her lover in girlhood. her friend and pro-
tector in womanhood. and her husband in
old age.
