ATTORNEYS.
BIG COIN IN A BOYS BODY.
A Surgical Operation Fails to Bring

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 faston the gate att
er he had passed out. Iii order to use both
hands he placed the coin to his mout..-

the inner side his tnrolt pressed against
the top of the pickets and the sensation
caused him to swallow. The coin Imme-

complained of and DIR. Walter B. johnson

to ascertain the exact location of the coin.
This was done at the Office OF City Ply
sician Joseph Williams and the piece of

the General Hospital and DIR. Johnson at

forceps, but failed.
The difficult operation OF opening the
aesophagus was decided upon and Drs Nc
Coy and Terriberry performed 1t success

physicians said that the relaxation of ths
muscles consequent upon the administering
OF ether must have permitted the hail dol

wound was closed and boy was yesterday
slowly recovering from the effects oi the
operation. Where the coin has bctaken
itself is now 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
