"A M ONTGOMERY, October 25-(Spe-
 Wt cial.)-No branch of the medical profession is just now attracting so much attention as surgery of the heart and the very rare eases are given in de- tail by the great news organizations. An account of an opperation of this sort sent out from New York only this week sug- gests that detailed description or a re- cent successful operation here may be Of value to the profession and of interest to everybody. The subject Is a thirteen year-old negro boy, who was stabbed in the heart at the city cemetery on Septem- Der 14 last, by a little boy named John Corners. He Is now- so far as any one can tell, as well and healthy a little ne- gro as goes about Montgomery
 The Southern Alabama Medical League met in annual session at Dothan las, Tuesday. and pr. L. L. Hill. the operating surgeon, was present with the boy and read a paper describing the operation, the boy, himself, stripped to the waist in order to illustrate the lecture. From this public and authentic account the fol- lowing facts are gathered:
 The boy, whose name is Henry Myrick, was StaDDed at b D. m lie walked O1I a few steps and fell He was carried to his home, a common negro cabin short distance from the cemetery. At i a. m., just eight hours afterward, he was taken from the bed and placed on an improvised operating table The operation was per- formed by the light of two oil lamps bor- rowed from neighboring cabins. At the time the extremities were cold, the pulse | imperceptibe, the respiration signing and the boy partially unconscious. A small quantity of chloroform was given. Examination showed that the knife haG entered a little to the right of the left nipple and had penetrated the cavity.
 An incision was first made one-half inch from the breast bone and carried out four inches along the third rib A similar n- cision was made along the sixth rib, and the outer ends of these joined by a verticle incision The third, fourth and fifth ribs were then cut in two and the door thus made was turned back and gave access to the cavity. The lines of these incisions are brought out in the accompanying photograph taken just before the stays were removed.
 The pericardium or sac surrounding the heart was found to be filled with blood from the wound in the heart. The wound in the sac was enlarged two and half inches and eight ounces of blood removed The condition of the boy at once im- proved. The surgeon then passed his hand into the sac and pulled the heart up covered in the left ventricle. From this

Montgomery, October 25.-(Speeial)- The Merchants' Light and Power com pany completed it's organization here to- day with a capital of s1oO.OOO nearly all of which has been actually paid in. The gentlemen in the concern are all local to Montgomery. and there is no lack of money behind the enterprise. The presi- dent is c. c. Abercrombie, with Alex Rice as vice president. H. C. Jones as secretary and F. S. Ball as treasurer. The other directors are Meyer Greil, c. L. Ruth and Richard Tflis. Jones is the man who worked up the Tallassee Water Power Electric company and sold out Tillis is the owner of the Montgomery Street Railway company, with which the new concern has made a contract to fur nish its power for the next fifteen years.
 The machinery was ordered six weeks ago and will be modern. the electric ma chinery being attached direct to the engines. The contracts call for every thing to be ready for operation by Janu- ary 15 next.
 The company has purchased the old Pollard place near the railroad tracks, and will at once erect the necessary buildings. The street car company has bought half of it and will cover 150x3O0 feet with new brick ear barns and repair shops. The company's stockholders are all local business men and a large part of its business will be supplying mer- chants who are stockholders. It will not for the present go into the residence part of the city.

 Any of the Saloons.

Decatur, October 25.-(Special.) )--Carrie Nation lectured here this afternoon. Among other things she said: ''Peruna is nothing but rotgut and schlitz malt is all beer. A dive in dive in Kansas City is different from an Alabama saloon"
 She gave her experience in smashing saloons and said the reason she did so was because she could get out of Jail. but drunkards could not get out of hell.
 "The devils liars. say prohibition will not prohibit
 s1 will give any man $5 who will tell me the difference between the oemocrat and republican parties. You cannot be temperate in lying and stealing. I am not for temperance. am for prohibition. am only a plain woman; all society women go directly to hell. My hatchet has caused people to think.'
 She advised the Decatur women to smash the saloons, and told them if they did not the saloons would smash them.
 "The only place for the saloon is in hell with the devil. The anti-saloon league and the dispensaries are only side shows to the political parties.9
 About three hundred listened to her. She did not smash any saloons here

She replied: Drink 1t all yourself, and then you will not have as much sense as you have now" s cs
 A street fair is in progress here and the crowd at the hotel covered Carrie with confetti as she started up the stairs. She lectured them for this but they oniy laughed and threw the more.

COURT HOUSE WON'T DOWN.
People of Tuscaloosa Will Not Let the
 Matter Rest.

Tuscaloosa. October 25.-fSpecial.)- There is much talk at present of the To- cation for the new court house. At first the commissioners thought of using the lot where the court house now stand and a portion Of the adjoihpg los, but rt seems that same was too expensive for them to consider the location.
 At present they are letting the matter rest but it is generally thought that they will decide upon some lot in a more quiet section of the city, where there will not be so much hustle. The county already owns very beautiful lot adjoining tho Alabama Central Female college and it is very probable that they will build there. The site Is a beautiful one and will make an ideal court house square.
