AN APOLOGY EXPECTED.
The Trouble In the Building Trades
Council May he Adjusted.

nhuy be
The withdrawal of the representatives
of several labor unions affiliated with the
Building Trades Council, at the last meet
ing of that body. will probably be the
principal matter of consideration at the
meeting which will be held on Tuesday.
July IL.
1t was stated yesterday by one OF the
delegates who withdrew from the last
meeting that in all probability they would
attend the next meeting of the council. To
this very prominent member OF that body
said there will be no objection In speak
ing OF the return of Delegate Fitzgerald,
of the Plasterers' Union, who is charged
with being responsible for the trouble. and
who was ordered to leave the hall by
President Healy. it was stated that there
is hardly any doubt that the council will
require an apology upon the floor in open
sneeting. In the event that Mr.. Fitzgerald
refuses to comply with the order OF the
council. he will no doubt be again expelled
from the hall and will probably be followed
by his friends. as he was at the meeting
last week. 1t is the general belief. how
ever, that the whole affair will be ami
cably arranged before the meeting Is callei
to order.

Successful Operation for l<emovinr
BIood-CIots From the Brain.

bioOu-tIotS FROM tne brnfn.
Geneva, N. Y, July Surgeons in this
vicinity are watching with great interest
the case of Eugene Brazee, of Oaks Cor
ners, who through an operation on the
brain in the city hospital here last Friday
has regained the power of speech. recov-
cred his memory and has been relieved of
paralysis of the right side.
While repairing barn on April IS Bra
zee was struck on the left side of the head
by falling timber He was slightly stun
ned, but rallied in a few minutes and re-
sumed his work. The skull was not fract-
ured. and except for large bump where
the timber struck there were no immedi-
ate Ill effects from the injury.
Physicians decided. however that he
had received injuries that would ultimate
ly prove fatal il they did not receive prop
er attention. About three weeks ago Bra
zee found that he was losing his memory
and one day he forgot his name. Soon
afterward he lost the power of speech
and gradually his whole right side became
paralyzed. DIR. Church, of Oaks Corner.
Braces physician, called in DR.. Covert
and DR.. Skinner, of this city. in consulta-
tion. The seat of the trouble was located
in the motor tract Of the left side of the
brain. An operation was deemed necessa-
ry.
AS there was no fracture, it was necessa-
ry for DR.. Skinner. who performed the
operation, assisted by DIR. Covert and DR.
Church, to cut through the skull, and as
soon as tEis was done the diagnosis made
at the consultation was proved to be cor
rect. A blood vessel in the brain had been
ruptured by the falling timber. little
more than a half-pint of blood clots was
removed from the left side of the brain
cavity.
The effect of the operation was apparent
almost as soon as Mr.. Brazee was restored
from the influence of anaesthetics He
has already regained memory and power
of speech and the use of his entire right
side, and is making rapid progress toward
recovery

ting off his mark, and by the time the hack
stretch was reached he was thirty yards
in the rear of Kiser. who had begun the
journey ten yards in advance of him.
Then. having no one to make pace for him,
Jimmy tried to catch the field. but was
hopelessly left in the ruck. He received
a great ovation when he came up the track

sode. Mcfarland and Stevens employed
their Objectionable team tactics, the latter
sitting up in the last turn after he had
paced the former into the bunch at that
point. Cooper. who had started from
scratch with Mcfarland, made a deter
mined race in the stretch and was beaten
out by inches only. The referee disqualified
Mcfarland for accepting pace from Stevens
and awarded first place and the prize of
