PIGSKIN GRATED ON GIRL.
Mother and Relatives Would Not
Make the Sacrifice.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 9.-Her
own mother and relatives having
declined to make the necessary
sacrifice 10 save her life, the skin
of young pig was this afternoon
grated on the back of a E-year-old
girl to cover a spot inches in
diameter. Some week5A ago the
clothing of the girl took fire and
she was frightfully burned.
Stuart Mcclure, who is a son of
Doctor Hunter Mcclure, Stonewall
Jackson's surgeon, conceived the
idea of using the cuticle Of a young
and tender pig. The operation was
performed this afternoon. A small
black pig was chloroformed into
insensibility, the bristles were
shaved from the skin and with his
keen lancet the young surgeon
removed it in strips.
The skin was laid on in small
pieces untilit covered the bare space.
The result Of this novel method of
aiding nature will not be known
for several days.

NEW EAST RIVER BRIDGE.
In New York Damaged 100000
by Fire-Three Men Reported
Lost. Was a Spectacular
Fire.

New York, Nov. 10.-The new
East River bridge, in process of
construction between New York and
Brooklyn, was damaged to the
amount of at least 100000 to-
night by fire that for four hours
ragged $50 feet in the air, on the
summit of the great steel tower on
the New York side. Three men
who were at work on the top of the
tower when the fire broke out are
reported to have fallen into the
river.
Owing to the height of the tower
it was impossible to reach the
flames, and the fire, after devouring
all the woodwork on the top of the
tower, seized on the timber false
work of the two-foot bridges suspend
cd from the main cables, burning
away the supports until nearly
million feet Of blazing lumber fell
with a mighty splash and hiss into
the stream. The fall of the foot
bridge carried away scores of the
lighter cables and guys, which
trailed in the water, rendering it
necessary for the police to stop all
traffic up and down the river. The
fire was the most spectacular con-
fiagration that has ever been seen
in New York. 80
The fire started in tool shed and
from this spread to the great timber
framework.

there are universities in the
