Word was sent to Medical Examiner Axtelle. who called at the place and upon investiga- ton discovered that the boy had made no mistake. It was a foetus. but not old enough to have the sex determined. It was held in the stones in the water way where some of the city's sewage enters the river and must have worked it's way to that point from one of the manholes in the street. 1t was turned over to Undertaken Mulville with in- structions to have it buried The medical examiner has reported such facts as he has been able to find 0ll the matter to the proper authorities, but 1t is not at all likely that the gull ty party will ever be known. The boys make practice of collecting at that point for the purpose of picking up buttons, pennies, brass and other things that are swept out there from time to time and were at their old game to-day when they caught sight of the foetus and in a short time after almost everybody about the place was talking about it.

 Edward Murphy, who had his back broken yesterday while backing his team out from under shed at Scott's S wood yard, and who was later removed to the hospital, was operated on yes terday, and from present appearances the operation was very successful. The operation was performed by Dr Ma loney, assisted by Doctors Frost, Galley, Graves and Anderson. It was found that the spinal column was broken clean through. As far as could be as- certained by feeling, the spinal cord was not injured. but the physicians were unable to tell about the interior of the cord. The deformity was recti- fled, plaster cast was formed and steel bands were used to hold the break in place. He was resting com fortably this morning, but was still paralyzed. 1t will be impossible to state whether he will ever recover the use of his limbs. That will depend on the regeneration of the spinal cord.
