THREE JOINTS.
Removed From a MANS Backbone and
He Still Lives.

Minus three Joints Of his backbone,
John Kaller OF No. 80 Wilioughby
street, Brooklyn, n. y. Hes on a cot
in St. Johns Hospital. Long Island
City. making q brave fight against
death. The missing pieces Of his spinal
column were removed on Thursday
last by 1--WE surgeons It was an opera
ton almost unparalleled IN surgery,
but Il was his only chance for life
Kallor has been telephone llneman.
Recently he was sent 70 repair wires
along the Shore Road, In Astoria.
About noon he was working at the top
q pole near the Woolsey estate. Just
how IL happened neither Kaller nor any
enc else knows, but suddenly the line
man found himself IN the clutches Of
ma electric current. He had grasped a
I've wire. his body was twisted in tor
ture and puffs OF smoke arose from his
burning hands.
Tho man kept his senses. Hanging
there. burning and IN terrible pain, p,
realized that to remain In contact with
the wire for but a few seconds more
meant death to him.
with strength born Of that lSnowl-
edge Knlier tore himself free from the
live wire on which he had fallen and
T deliberately threw himself TO the road
way He fell 30 feet and struck upon
his head and back. He was taken to
St. Johns Hospital, and doctors worked
over him for eight hours before the
dangers from the electric shock were
removed. Then they performed the
operation.
In falling Kaller had broken his back.
The seventh. eighth and ninth Verte-
brae were badly fractured. and splin-
tiers OF the broken bone pressed on the
spinal cord. The pressure had produced
paralysis, and would have caused death
81 not removed.
DR. John Francis Burns was In
charge OF the operation. Assisting him
We're Dr. II. A. McGronen, DR.. ]. j.
Mulcahey. DR.. Thomas Cassidy and Or.
John r. Farwell. Technically, the doc
tors took out the spinous processes and
transverse sections Of the seventh,
eighth and ninth vertebrate. The oper-
alton was successful.
Il do not know Of an exactly similar
case" said DR.. Burns, last night.
Three vertebrae were badly fractured
and had to be removed, leaving arches
10 protect the spinal cord. But Kali
Ilers other injuries make his recovery
doubtful. and at my suggestion his rel
lafives have telegraphed TO his mother
asking her TO come 20 his bedside. She
lives in Illinois"
Kallers condition is very grave. Hs
has remained conscious from the first
and has taken a keen interest In tn
remarkable operation performed upo;

A CURIOUS STORY.
The Beautiful Girl Who Celebrated
Mass

Extraordinary excitement prevails
in Leghorn and the adjacent provinces
over the reported marvellous appear
ance of the Blessed Virgin. In a small
village a few miles from Leghorn, a
young woman, marvelously beautiful,
called on the cure and requested him to
allow her to celebrate mass. Naturally,
so the report continues. the cure be-
lieved that he had to deal with de-
ranged woman, but, in order not 20 ex-
cite her, he gently explained that the
sacred books prohibited the celebration
of mass by a woman.
The beautiful stranger insisted, and
finally the cure called in gendarmeS
and requested them to convey hsr 10
an asylum, but the young woman spoke
to the gendarmes in such eloquent
terms that they Joined her in begging
the cure to give the requisite permits
sion. Then the cure fell beneath the
spell, had the altar prepared, and he
himself acted as assistant 10 the illc-
gal celebrant. AS soon as the mass was
completed the stranger raised her arms
toward heaven and cried: "Now o God,
thou wilt not destroy the world" Then
the little church was flooded with daz-
cling light, in which the young woman
, disappeared. Nobody in the district
doubts the story, and all are convinced
that the apparition was none other
than the Blessed Virgin herself. The
cure himself is absolutely convinced,
and has informed the Bishop, who is
making Investigations. The visitation
is associated in the popular mind with
the recent earthquakes and meteors.
Fearing reactionary intrigues the Gov
eminent thought it advisable to re-en-
force the gendarmerie and prohibit
public meetings.-Rome Cor. N. Y. Sun.

tier added. she would like 10 have tho

The detective told the young man
that he had better return the young

a lecture to the couple. and the youne
woman did not cut any more dances.
Some of the young mans friends

young man, whose life had been made
miserable by their gibes was hunting

CHICAGO, January 10.-The wheat
market was somewhat irregular to-day
but on the whole was depressed by the
large receipts and light clearances,
May closing h@%c under yesterday.
Corn and oats closed a shade higher
and provisions unchanged to 5 cents
up.
The Indifference of Liverpool to the
advance in wheat here yesterday weak
ened the local market at the opening,
May at 67A @67Bc, showing an initial
loss of "a cent. Buyers late yester-
day on the raj scare sold and the
price eased off to 67hG67%c, where it
steadied, and IN reports of a better
export demand, laboriously advanced
to Csc. On liquidation occasioned by
the very light c~learances and the lib
eral primary receipts the rally was
lost, May touching C7kc. A rumor
that Ladysmith had fallen caught the
market in an oversold condition and
shorts made haste to cover. under
pressure Of which the market again
advanced May to 6S@e8Bc. The ru-
NOR was unconfirmed and some of the
scare accumulations were disposed of.
The close was rather weak, May k@B
under yesterdy at 67Ac. About forty
loads were reported taken for export.
Seaboard c~learances were 82,493 BUSH
els of wheat, 10,470 barrels flour. Pri-
mary receipts were 511,410 bushels
compared with 707,22S last year. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported 1896 cars,
non of which graded contract. Trade
was generally dull, though at times
fairly active.
Corn was firm all day, up a trife at
times even when wheat was weak.
The opening showed a fractional de-
cline in sympathy with the wheat
market, but it was soon recovered.
Small country offerings and rather I'M
seasonable weather were the strength
ening Influences. The market was dull
and the shipping demand poor. The
condition of this demand-or lack of
it-can be illustrated by the fact that
a New York wire announced the de-
parture of the steamer Belgravia, emp
ty, having failed to get eight loads
of grain at the minimum freight rate,
although her destination is the largest
corn centre in Europe. Receipts here
were 449 cars. May ranged from 32Hc
TO 3Ac, closed a shade over yesterday
at 33@33Bc. Oats were firm but very
dull. The market occupied a some
what novel position as there was plen-
ty for sale at 24c and a good demand
for the cereal at prices only fraction
ally under that. The result was that
as soon as the asking price was reach
ed the price Immediately dropped.
Country offerings were small. The
sample market was firm. Receipts
here were 1853 cars. May ranged from
23% 023Bc to 24c, closing a shade up
at 24c.
A good shipping demand and some
covering by shorts held the provision
market firm in the face of liberal hog
receipts and softer prices at the yards.
Longs were made the proft-takers.
The trade was not active nor large.
May pork sold from $40 IS 70 $40 82h.
and closed Sc over yesterday at
$40 S2h; May lard from S. S7RQ5 80
to S. 92h, closing a shade better at
IS 9O@5 92h, and May ribs from IS 65
to SIS 1905 1914, with the close un-
changed from yesterday at S. 70.
