Remarkable Surgery.

remarkable feat of surgery was lately ac-
eompiished by DR.. Pagenstecher, of Elberfeld. to
whom a youth of seventeen brought who had
been wounded by conrade in such manner
that the point OF a small knife had slightly per-
forated the heart, and the boy was rapidly bleed
ing to death, and already in a comatose condi-
tion. The color OF the blood made the nature
OF the wound clear enough, and Dr. Pagenstecher
decided TO make desperate attempt to the
lads life. He therefore removed portion of the
rib just over the heart, and laid bare that or
gan. He then sewed up the small cut with four
tiny stitches, and the hemorrhage soon ceased.
No fever ensued. and the hearts movement went
regularly, and the lad was pronounced cured
in about nine weeks

the last game of the series with Baltimore

the Orioles yesterday drew out a crowd Of

precipitate a fight. Tebeau had taken
every precaution to prevent rowdyism, a
large detail of police being on hand. How

Smiths actions were condemned by the

bleachers- All through the excitement
Smith acted like a coward. Holmes, of the
Orioles, was also in the manning business.
He spiked Creiger in the eighth inning so
badly that the clever backstop was forced
to retire. II is not charged, however that
the spiking of Creiger was intentional.

ORDINANCE rs PRESENTED.
W. n. schott Formally Asks the Council
For Railway Franchise.


AS was anticipated in this paper last
Saturday w. FL. Schott, of Chicago,
presented an electric railway franchise
ordinance to the Kenosha City Council
Monday night.
The ordinance presented no new
features beyond the fact that it espec-
tally emphasized the idea of local
line. 1t differs from others in the main
from the fact that it is local line with
through line privileges, while the others
were through lines with promises of
local service. 1t makes very little or
no concession or remuneration to the
city. 1t provides that Main street
bridge shall be repaired by the grantee
and if new one is needed he will be
expected to pay one half the cost OF
construction.
The promoter makes no mention of
paving, except that the paving in the
streets passed over shall be maintained
by the company.
The new road is to be solely for the
purpose of passenger traffic, but per-
sonal luggage and mails may also be
carried.
The proposed route is a new one and
makes a belt touching all the factory
districts in the city. The route is as
follows:
Beginning on Milwaukee avenue at
the north limit of the city of Kenosha,
Wisconsin; thence south and southerly
on Milwaukee avenue and Main street
across the river on Main street bridge;
thence south on Main street to Park
avenue; thence south on Park avenue
to Deming street; thence west on
Deming street to Chicago street;
thence south on Chicago street to Day
ton street, thence west on Dayton
street to Ann street, now called Ash
land avenue; thence south on Ashland
avenue to the city limits. Beginning at
the intersection of Ashland avenue and
Elizabeth street; thence west on Eliz-
ab9th street to Crate street; thence
north on Crate street to Prairie avenue;
thence east on Prairie avenue to Ridge
street; thence northeasterly and north
erly on Ridge street to Market street;
thence east on Market street to Main
street. Beginning at the west city
limit on Grand avenue; thence easterly
on Grand avenue to a point in West
Main street east on right of way of the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway;
thence in a southerly direction and
running east of the Chicago Il North
western Railways depot to Market
street. Then beginning at the inter-
section of Main street and South street;
thence south on Main street to Town
Line street; thence south on Exchange
street to Deming street; thence east on
Deming street to Mechanic street, or
so called Durkee avenue; thence south
on Mechanic street, or Durkee avenue,
so called, to city limits.
