REMARKABLE OPERATION.
Three stitches Taken in the Hr"'
of Phillip Gum. 81. Louis. an"
He May Recover.

81. Louis, April 22-Dr. ii. L. Me-
teri, superintendent of the city nos
pital, has just performed one OF INC
most remarkable operations ever IT.
corded in the annals OF surgery.
consisted OF taking three stitches ~
the heart of Philip Gunr. who had
been stabbed in a saloon brawl. Inc
point OF the knife blade had entereo
the right ventriclc and had pierceu
to the cavity of the heart. Luckily
the knife had entered the heart ODD
liquely. and the result was that the
opening between the cavity and the
percardium of the heart was lip
shaped on both sides. The wound act-
ed as a valve. and at each pulSation
of the blood through the heart but
small quantity escaped through the
artificial opening. The task of stitch
ing this unusual wound was a very
difficult one. DR.. Nictart first re-
moved section Of the breast bone
exposing the pericardium. The mo-
ton of the heart can not be repress-
ed and DR.. Nietart was forced 10 make
the stitches while the organ was SHIFT
ing about. II required three sutures
to efrectually close the gap. This dei-
icate operation finished. the pericar-
dunn was sewed together. The por-
ton of the breast bone removed
could not be replaced. and the opera
ton was concluded Ivy stitching to-
gether the skin and the outer tissues
which cover the chest.
Gum is still alive, and as he has
strong constitution, the physicians
predict his recovery.

Term of Heat Is occasioned
by Thunderst orms.

Washington, July 6.-The tenth day
of the present heated term was again
a 'scorcher,' except, where severe
thunderstorms, local rains or violent
atmospheric changes INDUCED cool
weather. In Arkansas, the east gulf
states, northern Ohio and New York
thunderstorms brought relief In
southeastern New England also cool
er weather prevailed, the temperature
falling from six to ten degrees. The
weather bureau officials again say the
only prospect for relief from the heat
lies in the occurrence of storms. There
is no promise, they say, of general
thunderstorms sufficient to make a
considerable fall in the temperature.
In Chicago promise of short res
pite from heat is given. New York
had a two-inch downpour of rain, which
sent the thermometer down to 76.
East of the Allegheny mountains the
temperature rose generally few de-
grees over the highest of Thursday,
and in portions of the southwest it
warmed up also, in Arkansas and Okla
homa a maximum temperature of over
100 being recorded. Some of the max

Joke Ends in Suicide.

Cambridge City, Ind, July o. George
W. Shaw, a prominent and well-known
farmer, committed suicide his home,
five miles southwest of here, shooting
himself in the right temple. The cause
was a practical joke. About two
weeks ago Mr.. Shaw and another man
had fight, and Shaw gave his man q
terrible drubbing. To scare Shaw
some boys told him that his victim
would die before morning. Shaw re-
piled that his victim could not beat
him, and went home and shot himself.
The man with whom Shaw had the fight
is not seriously hurt.
