SAVED A BOYS LIFE.
BY Removing a Grain of Corn Which Was
Gradually Cutting on His breath.

Sht1ihE oh 'hts A'''''
BY quick operation the surgeons at
Delaware Hospital yesterday week saved
the life of James McGlinchy, years
old, of near Hockessin, who was suffer
ing from the effects of swallowing
grain of corn. He was brought to the
hospital on Monday night, and at that
time no operation was performed, it
being impossible to locate the foreign
substance. BY yesterday the grain of
corn, which was of large size, had got
into the bronchial tubes, where it
operated somewhat like q valve. The
patient could expel air from the lungs,
but could with difficulty get air past
the corn into them. Its presence also
was causing inflammation. The serious
condition of the patient became ap-
parent yesterday and an immediate
operation was determined upon.
In u little while all arrangements
had been made. The surgeons cut into
the throat and through the windpipe,
and explored the bronchial tubes with
a probe. Their search was rewarded in
the finding of the corn about two
inches below the throat in the chest
cavity. 1t was soon dislodged and re-
moved, and the boy began to breath
more freely. He came through the
operation all right and is doing very
well today. The case was under the
attention of DIR. John Palmer, Jr., and
DIR, James A. Draper

SUIT FOR HEAVY DAMAGES.


r., w. & B. X. II. Co. Sued by William @.
Bl;,tz for 100000 for Death of His
Brother, Joseph II. Blatx.
William G. Blatz has begun suit in
the Superior Court against the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington d Baltimore Rail
road Co., for 5l00, 600 for the death of
his brother Joseph H. Blatz at the
Beech street crossing last February.
The amount of damages claimed is
calculated under the ruling of the
court in the case Of Neal VS.. the New
Castle & Wilmington Railway Co. that
if the jury found for the plaintiff, it
should estimate the earning power of
the deceased for his natural life, what
he would have accumulated, and con-
sidering what he would have expended
Mr.. Blatz was superintendent of the
plant of F. Blumenthal q Co. and re-
ceived salary of about Sl2, 600 year.
An action for $500 for the death Of
the horse and destruction of the team
has also been brought. a third suit
against the railroad is brought on ac-
count of injuries and suiferings sus-
tanned by Edward J. Finn, timekeeper
at the morocco plant, who accompanied
Mr.. Blatz on the fatal ride. The rail
road company is accused of criminal
negligence in not having ample safety
precautions at the crossing. Messrs.
Salisbury, Ponder and Curtis are at
torneys for the plaintiffs in all three
suits. Samuel S. Adams, Jr., is with
them in the Finn case.

Opinion Expressed That IT Would be
Paying Investment
New York Journal OF Commerce.
A canal between Chesapeake and
Delaware Bays was opened to the pub.
lie July 4th, 1929 The cost Of two and
quarter millions was paid to the OK
tent of so per cent by States and indi-
viduals and 20 per cent by the national
government. OF course, it is too small
to be of great value at present, but it
has been estimated that ship canal
would save shipping an expense of u
million and half annually. In 1873
and 1882 there we're surveys, under
authority of Congress, for ship canal
connecting the bays.
In 1894 board was created to de-
termine the most feasible route for a
ship canal, and it reported in favor OF
practically the present canal line. A
resolution has now been favorably re-
ported to the House for the creation of
a commission to revise the estimates
previously made and adapt them to
present unit prices and methods, and
to ascertain the value of other existing
works, rights and franchises wpich it
may be necessary to acquire in order
to construct ship canal across the
Peninsula. The resolution proposes a
commission consisting of an engineer

DESTRUCTIVE STORM
IN THE SOUTHWEST
The Territory Extending From
Texas to Kentucky Swept
by a Cyclone Sunday.
FOUR STATES WERE TRAVERSED
Great Damage in Its Wake,
Especially Texas.


Dallas, Tex, May 10. --Advices from
all available sources last night were
that destructive cyclone swept across
Texas yesterday, causing loss of life
and almost incalculable damage to
property.
The cyclone is believed to have
originated on the Gulf coast at point
almost directly south of Goliad. and
travelled in northeasterly direction as
far as Kentucky. 1t left desolation be-
hind in four States, but Texas seems
to have suffered more than the others.
AT 10 o'clock last night two reports
were current concerning the fate of the
historic town of Goliad, both of which
wero distressing. One was that 80 lives
we're lost, and much of the town was
destroyed. The other was that not less
than 200 persons we're killed, and that
nearly every structure there was de-
molished.
The high wind which prevailed over
the portion of the State lying east and
south of here demoralized the tele-
graph and telephone services.
NINETY DEAD AT GoLIAp.
A special from Goliad to the News
says:
Ninety persons are dead and over
100 wounded. In addition, there is a
gaping wound in the town the path
of one of the most destructive cyclones
ever known in Texas.
1.-THE cyclone struck this place about
3. 40 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, last
ing only about five minutes, leaving
death and destruction everywhere in
its wake. 1t came from the southeast
without warning, completely demolish.
ing strip about two blocks wide and
mile long throughout the whole
western part of the town. Among the
many houses demolished are the Bap.
tist Church and parsonage, the Metho
dist Church and church which he
longed to colored people. 1t is impossi
BILE to estimate the number of houses
destroyed, but it is thought it will
reach 100. The damage cannot be ap
proximated, but it is very great. The
path of devastation is strewn with al
kinds of debris and dead and wounded
animals. The pitiful cries of the
| wounded are heard everywhere. A re

bearing physicians, nurses, druggist

is being done for the relief of tn,

the destruction of thousands of dollars

HAND MANGLED BY A DOG.


Assistant Dog Catcher william Fl. Wallis
Has an Thrilling Experience.
William II. Walls of No. 1l9 West
liberty street, assistant to Dog
Catcher George Kopp, had thrilling
experience Saturday, which may
prove serious, his right hand having
been mangled by dog which he was
making an effort to capture.
Mr.. Walls had gone to the yard in
the rear of house on Walnut street
to take "a dog which had been acting in
such suspicious manner that an i'm
preston prevailed that it had the
rabies. As soon as the dog saw Mr..
Walls, as if anticipating his mission,
ii pounced upon him and got his right
hand in its mouth and chewed it. Mr..
Walls had great difficulty in getting
his hand out of the dcg's mouth. but
he finally succeeded and went to the
office of DR.. Henry r. R.Spruance, Eighth
and Lombard streets, where the wounds
were cauterized. Fourteen distinct
bites we're found. 1t is not known
whether the dog was suffering from
rabies. After its attack upon Mr..
Walls it was taken to the pound.

The Economic Life Insurance Co.,
which has its Offices in the Ford
Building, at Tenth and Market streets,
was sold Mouday morning to the Metro
politan Life Insurance Co. OF New
York. Negotiations have been pending
for several days, but Mong'ay the

The officers of the Economic Co, have,
therefore, retired from the management
ana been succeeded by the Metropolitan
officers, but the working force OF the
old company has been retained.

and it is reported that between $3.50
and 5000 per share was paid The PAL
value is 800 per share. When Peter j.
Ford, president of the Economic Co.,
was seen in regard to the transaction,
he said: "Yes, the Economic Co. was
purchased Monday by the Metro
politan Co. For some time the Metro
politan and another company have been
making an effort to purchase the
Economic and the Metropolitan made
a very interesting offer, which We
accepted. and the money was paid Mon
day. y
Relative to the policies of the
Economic Co. Mr.. Ford said "All of
the policies OF the Economic Co. will
be in full force as heretofore Our
contract with the Metropolitan CO.
was that the policies should remain in
full force as long as the premiums are
paid"
The retiring management Of the
Economic Go. took charge of the com
rany three years ago and built it up to
what it is today, one Of the strongest
local companies in the country.
