Remarkable Operation.

Professor Simon Newcomb, the emf
nent astronomer, has given to the
Johns Hopkins hospital museum the
crutches he had for four years, having
no further use for them, says Balti-
more dispatch to the New York Worli.
For l. years Professor Newcomb
suffered acutely from an unknown
trouble in one Of his legs and during
the later four years was compelled TO
90 upon cru;ches. One of his legs be-
came almost useless because OF the in-
tense suffering whenever he threw any
weight upon it. His case was under
diagnosis and treatment by several of
the greatest surgeons in the world.
Some called it neuralgia, some rheu-
matism, and OF late years the learned
pundlts settled down TO the opinion
that his spinal cor,l was aifecte /.
Recently Professor Gilman Of Johns
Hopkins university urged Professor
Newcomb to come to Baltimore and
submit to an examination by some
Of his young men" Professor New
comb accepted the advice and went to
Johns Hopkins hospital the next day.
where Dr. Llewellyn Barker and DR..
Gushing made a thorough examlna-
ton aud informed Professor New
comb that they believed his lameneSs
TO be due to a diseased nerve in the
leg. Professor Newcomb replied that
be had already suffered so much agony
that he was used to it and told the
young men they might begin opera
tious as soon as possible. He declined
to take ether because the operation
was entirely new and novel in the
surgical annals Of America, and he de-
sired to witness IL himself, but cocaine
was administered, and the cutaneous
nerve Of the front thigh was laid bare
by Dr. Cushing knife.
4 brief examination convinced them
that the nerve was diseased, and Pro.
fessor Newcomb instructed them to
eat il out. Dr. Cushing removed the
nerve entirely, closed mp the wound
AMI put the great astronomer to bed.
Since the second day he has fell no
pain whatever. Iu ten days he VAS
able to dress himself and walk about
the hospital.

Pulp Mill Settlement.

The West Virginia Pulp and Paper
Company is having plans and spec'.
fcatons drawn up for their new brick
pulp mill at Luke. 1t is understood
that the new building will be erected
around the present frame structure,
which will be torn down soon az the
new one is completed. The new mill
will be much larger and will extend
some distance south Of the present
structure. Several men have arrived
from New York city to superiutend
the changing Of the present pulp mill
from the acid 10 soda process, in nc.
cordance with the recent agreement
with the city of Cumberland. The
people are delighted to hear that the
controversy with Cumberland has
been amicably adjusted and all suits
against the pulp mill company are to
be withdrawn. Rumor Gays the COM
pany has decided to erect several
smaller buildings at Luke that they
had intended locating at Covington,
Va. The erection of the new mill
will give employment to large num-
Der Of men while building and large
ly increase the permanent force when
completed. A number Of persons will
now build residences which they
would not build while these suits were
pending. The pulp mills are having
trouble to secure sufficient force.

Barbara Fritchie-New Edition.

When over the mountains. riding down.
Horse and foot into Frederick,own,
The "rebs7 marched over the mountain wall
With their usual clatter and usual gall.
Barbara Fritchie bed-ridden lay.
And knew no odds 'twixt blue and gray.
Whittier says not but he didn't know
AT least so the Century war papers show,
Though forty flags with their silver stars
And forty flags with their crimson bars
Flapped all morning and then came down
When the hungry rebels came to town
Barbara Fritche didn't mind
She couldn't see 'em-being blind
When up the street came the gray-clad boys.
She probably muttered "Oh. drat their noise J"
And to Stonewall Jackson. riding ahead.
Never a syllable Barbara said.
She didn't lean out Of her windowsill
To shake the flag with 4 royal will.
No Barbara Frtchie, so they say
Stayed in bed that autumn day.
The shade Of sadness and blush Of shame"
Which the poet alludes to never came.
Therefore the salty but welI-meant tear
VIII please cease falling on StonewalIs bier
lis rwen,y-odd years since the fight was DER.
And the rebel rides on his raids no more.
But heroes in blue and the same in gray
Love 10 tell Of that awful day
When. hearing the conquerins rebel tread,
Barbara Fritchie stayed in bed.
And yalorous generals love 10 stalk
Through weIl-paid pages Of cory talk.
Bood-rcd ink and fierce steel pen
In the Century NEE, and fight again
Flag Of freedom and union wave
Der the land Of the true but nky brave.

STABBED FOR BURNING GAS.
LANDLORD OBJECTS TO COURTSHIP
AFTER 10 T. NJ, AND ATTACKS
GIRLS LOVER.

Morris Hartmann a tailor who lives with
his family. on the ground floor of the tenement
house. at No 265 Cherry-st- stabbed and PROB
ably MORALLY wounded David Schneider. an
other tailor. who lives on the second floor OF the
same house. Kaufman then escaped while
Schneider was taken to Gouverneur Hospital
The stabbing took place at 10 o'clock last night
in the hallway of the house.
Schneider was visiting his sweetheart, Yetta
Gordon, who occupies a room in the fiat of the
Kaufman family. She had agreed to pay IL
cents a week of the gas bills in addition to
rent, and to put out the gas at 10 o'clock
every night After she met Schneider he be-
frequent visitor at the Kaufman fiat,
and the gas in Yettas room is said to have
been burning late more than one time. 1t was
last night. The lovers were sitting together
in the girls room, talking about their wedding,
which was only two weeks off. At 10 o'clock
Kaufman entered and turned the gas down.
Schneider demonstrated and lit the gas Kauf
mann turned it out again. Schneider lit 1t, and
this was repeated several times. Then followed
angry words and Kaufman seized a knife.
Schneider ran out in the hall followed by Yetta,
but started back into the room. The girl begged
him not TO go, and as he opened the door Kauf
mann plunged the knife into his chest just
above the heart. Schneider received four deep
wounds-one in the chest in the abdomen,
one in the arm and in the face.
Abraham Fuchansky. attracted by the screams
of Schneider and of Yetta, in whose presence
the brutal deed had been committed hurried
carried MIN upstairs. Yetta followed. In the
mean time Kaufman had gone. 1t found
that the rear door of the cellar had been broken
open and some panes of glass in it smashed
Kaufman may have gone out that way and
then, by scaling fences, reached MOnroe-st.
PatrOlman Lyons, of the Madison-st. station
summoned ambulance, in which the wounded
taken to GOuverneur Hospital AS he
was placed in the conveyance he regained
sCiousness for a moment, and is said to have
murmured:
oh. it's sad to die two weeks before ones
wedding day"
At the hospital Schneider's condition was said
to be critical
AS soon as the case had been reported at the
MadisOn-st. police station six detectives were
detailed on it. Detective Hayes went to the
scene of the stabbing, and took witnesses to
the police station. Kaufmann's wife and two
children were arrested after the stabbing
and held as witnesses. Kaufman had not been
captured up to late hour last night
Yetta, her eyes wet with tears, said she would
not go to work in the sweatshop where she
earns her living until Kaufman had been
found. Last night. when a policeman
searching the cellar the frail girl followed, and
eagerly volunteered to go into the dark hooks
and corners to look for the fugitive Big crowds
gathered in front of the house, and it took
eral policemen TO keep order.
