A TRIUMPH OF SURGERY.
The Case of a Man Who Swallowed
His Suspenders.

The Case of a Man who Swallowed
His Suspenders.
A case recorded in the Boston Med
zeal and Surgical Journal by DR.. NJ.
III. Richardson is a remarkable exam
pie of the extraordinary feats in swal-
lowing foreign bodies sometimes per-
formed by men.
A man, aged 90 years, was admitted
to the hospital. He said that two
weeks previously, while he was in
respondent state. he had endeavored to
swallow his suspenders and had sue
ceeded in getting down certain por-
tons, but how much he had swallowed
he could not tell. He did not complain
of pain, but rather Of discomfort un-
der the breast while eating. The food
at times passed easily into the stom-
ach. At other times it was regurgitat-
ed Immediately. Nothing could be seen
in the throat. With a probe some OBJ
struction was felt.
A skiagram showed a SuSpender
buckle at the middle of the chest and
chief danger in esophageal impaction
is from liberation into the great YES
sells, especially when the foreign body
has sharp edges, and as fatal erosion
usually takes place in two weeks or
less, it was concluded that If there
was any erosion it was sufficiently ad-
vanced to make even the most careful
manipulation dangerous. The problem
was how to perform extraction with
out producing fatal hemorrhage.
The throat was opened, and with a
pair of forceps, string attached to a
brass ring and then half suspender
with two buckles and finally third
buckle were removed. A probang was
passed into the stomach without meet
ing with further obstruction.
The wound was closed with silk

Purnell b. Norman, for State auditor,
was not acted upon.
1.-THE name of DR.. l.. Heisler Ball
was exhaustively considered by the
committee, which voted not to endorse
his nomination. The committee being
of the opinion that DIR. Ball is SO I'M
popular as to jeopardize the election OF

be maze the candidate. 1t was further
considered by the committee that an
exception had been taken by your
committee to DIR. Marshall and Caleb

upon the harmony ticket on the ground
Of bitter factionalism. Our COMMITTEES
could hardly be expected to accept sc
bitter factionslist. as DR.. Ball, more
especially as he had'learned nothing in
the way of harmony in the past two
years, although he had been elected to
an important State Office by the votes
OF the Union Republicans.

The Rusiness situation.

R.G.Dun& Co. IS Review for Saturday
says: "The strike in the anthracite
coal region, which has involved bout
100, 600 miners, and probably 10000
others, is the overshadowing Influence
in business. This conflict interferes
with calculations of merchants over a
large part of the Atlantic seaboard,
and is really the only tangible check to
the general recovery which set in with
the larger demand for iron and steel
products. Outside of the anthracite
industry enforced idleness Of hands is
an exception, and even in the Pennsyl-
vania coal region, other employers
would gladly take on thousands of the
more Intelligent miners. The Doscher
Sugar Refinery closes down on account
of the scarcity of raw sugar, of which
all refiners are estimated to hold only
400, 600 tons, but the Lorraine Steel Co.,
idle three months, is starting its fur
naces, with others to follow. Hesita-
ton incident to the Presidential cam
paign is reflected in bank clearings,
which for New York show ass per cent
and for other leading cities 7.S per cent
loss from last year. Railroad earnings
for September thus far reported are
SIS, 474, 1874, gain of &c per cent over
1899, and 17.3 per cent over 1898.
though the Galveston disaster is the
cause of much irIegularity in returns. -
Bradstreet's says: 1.-The unfavorable
turn given the general industrial situa--
ton by the strike of anthracite coal
miners and the possibility of wages
disputes in the iron trade with rather
less activity in the latter industry, and
some increase in weakness in the prices
of cruder forms, have given an ap-
pearance OF irregularity TO the general
| trade and business situation. On the
other hand, the course OF staple prices
has been very generally upward this
week: fall distribution of dry goods,
clothing, hats and millinery has been
Of large volume at nearly all markets
there is a deoid dly better tone noted
in the boot and shoe and kindred
trades ard the strength of cotton
goods, though apparently in excess OF
that shown by the raw material, has
been regarded as Indicative OF conf
dence on the part of manufacturers.
Bank clearings reflect the expansion
of TALL trade in further gain in
volume but the stagnant condition OF
speculation particularly in stocks, ERE
cludes any important gain over recent
years. Gross railway earnings continue
to show gains over last antumn's heavy
business, but net returns point to much
of this being used up in Increased cost
