UNIQUE OPERATION.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30-Two young
surgeons at Bellevue hospital last
night performed an operation which
is said to be unique in surgical his
tory. Nearly two months ago Michael
Fitzaptrick ''trusty" in the Tombs'
prison. fell down an elevator shaft in
the prison and broke his back. He
was removed to Bellevue but it was
thought nothing could be done for
him. He clung to life tenaciously and
DIR. Milton f. Lewis and DR.. Dudley
S. Conley, who were graduated from
Columbia Medical Schol lastyear, be-
came much interested in bis case.
Four Of Fitzpatrick's vertebrae were
broken and the ragged ends were
pressing against the spine, paralyzing
the entire body The operation con-
sisted in cutting off the end of these
vertebrae with a crescent shaped saw
and winding the stubs OF each one
with tissue rubber, making cushion
of each. 1t was believed last night
that, the operation had been entirely
successful. Fitzpatrick must remain
for several months on rubber water
bed.

Government Accused OF Doing
Politics in Ireland.

Worse Than in Dark Days, Early

ed charges of cowardice in turning
blind eye to the Reign of Terrorism"
in Ireland in order to keep Nation
alists in good temper and assure a
continuance of their support in the
Commons was launched against the
government in the house of lords to-
day. The Marquis of Londonderry,
who was viceroy of Ireland in 1869
led in the attack and so infectious
were his statements that even Lord
Langford, who has been represen-
tative peer of Ireland since 1884
broke his silence of "a years and
devoted his maiden speech to re-
cital of his personal experiences with
cattle driving outside his own gates.
The Marquis of Londonderry
declared that the present state Of Ire
land was worse than in the dark days
early in the eighties, when murder
and outrage were rampant. He at
tributed these conditions entirely to
the cowardice of the government.
Cattle raiding is in progress in ten
counties, Judges are paralyzed in the
sections subject to coercion by the
Irish league and a trial by jury
is farce. Out OF 237 prisoners tried
only were convicted.

REPLACE BURNED STRUCTURE
ST. Thomas Episcopal Church Society
Intend to Build Scientifically With.
out Any Structural Subterfuges,
Of a Supposedly Gothic Cast.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30,--Plans, which
il carried out as now planned will re-
suit in the erection OF the finest Pro-
tcstant Episcopal church structure in
the country, not designated for cathc-
dral uses, were made public yesterday
by The officials Of St, Thomas Protes-
tant Episcopal Church for the new
edifice OF that church at Fifth Avenue
and s3rd. street. The old St. Thomas
for years Fifth Avenue land
mark, was destroyed by fire in the
summer OF 1905, Since that time Ar
chitects have been working steadily
on plans for an cdifice to replace the
burned structure, AS now tentative
ly announced, these plans involve an
expenditure OF at least 100000 for
the fabric Of the new church alone
and provide a structure combining
architectural features from both
French and English cathedrals.
The application of such sum will
be necessary, the church officers say
because of their determination to
build the structure scientifically with.
out any structural subterfuges, mask
ed by applied decoration OF sup
posedly Gothic cast. They are deter
mined, they say, to avoid in this sac
red edifice the Structural lie" of EN-
ploying steel and reinforced concrete
construction with veneered exterior,
lnteriofally the new church which
will be twice the size Of the old, will
be notable for its great basilica, 2l4
feet long 43 feet wide in the center
and o5 feet from the pavement to the
crown Of the vault. 1t will with
chapels have seating Of nearly 1000,
Facilities will be afforded for numer-
GUS memorials of various descriptions.
1t Is not planned to begin the work
Of construction until after Easter or
next year.

BOSTON, Jan, 80 -- Proceedings
were instituted in this city today for
receivership for the Consolidated
Steamship Company we're instituted
simultaneously with those in the
courts OF Portland, Maine, and New
York, The action was brought by
VIM. A. Muller, OF Arlington, Mass,
whose counsel filed the three bills of
complaint against the Consolidated
and also against two subsidiary COM
panics. Muller declares that the
Eastern Steamship Company has
total floating Indebtedness OF $780,
900 and that the metropolitan COM
pany has a floating indebtedness OF
$l,SoO,0O0, with unpaid bills OF $780,
900, and interest on outstanding
bonds of $l,200,000 The immediate
cause of the petition was the failure
of the Eastern Steamship Company
TO meet demand note to Mr.. Muller
OF $4,000. The companies were con
solidated by Charles Morse, who
sought to control the coastwise trade,
six being consolidated for that pu-
pose, with an authorized bond issue
Of S0,000,000 and S62,000000 in stock.
In addition there were outstanding
bonds OF the six companies OF $24,-
624,000, Financiers say the failure on
the part OF the company to provide a
sinking fund for underlying bonds
was the cause of the difficulties of the
company.

PORTLAND, Jan. 50, = John ].
Hall today entered an emphatic denial
OF the charges entered against him,
He said that he had never had any

ties in 1901 and 1902 but neglected
to proceed against the Butte Creek
Company, which had enclosed 10000
acres, Heney apparently is making
out strong case against the defend,
ant in cross-examination and it is
said that the rebuttal for the govern
ment is very strong.

NEW YORK, Jan, 30 There is a
possibility that Harry X, Thaw's
case may be in the hands OF the jury
before court adjourned tonight. Mr..
Lit,leton for the defense had finished
with his summing up and District At
torncy Jerome will begin this morn
ing. AZ the first trial he spoke for
over two hours and II he contents
himself with an address OF no longer
duration today there will be time
enough for Justice Dowling to dc.
liver his charge and turn the case
over TO the jury before adjournment.
In case Mr. Jerome continues until
late in the afternoon the judges
charge will not be delivered until
Friday and the jurors will have one
more night of their comfortable hotel
apartments before being locked in the
Jury room with the life Of human
being in their hands,
What task the district attorney will
take in his address TO the jury is not
known. The defense introduced no
evidence to show that Harry Thaw
is now insane nor that he is safe
person 10 be allowed at large The
plea OF the defense. mot guilty by
gcason OF insanity" would seem to
leave no alternative to the jury in
case they wish TO aequit him unless
Il be verdict in the same terms.
The district attorney did not at
tempt in any way to controvert the
testimony OF the defense witnesses
that Thaw was suffering from va
riety OF recurring mania when he
killed White
II is an open secret that Mr..
Jerome believes Thaw insane now
and at the las trial he stated in open
court that he would be satisfied with
the verdict OF a lunacy commission
which would send Thaw to an asylum
for the criminally insane. 1t is not
unlikely that his opinion today is the
same as It was at that time and that a
verdict which would mean Thaw's in
carccration in the asylum for the
criminal insane at Matteawan would
be satisfactory to the representatives
OF the people.
Jerome made a mastery plea today
that justice be done in the case of
Harry Kendall Thaw Vindictiveness
sneers, insinuations, lacking logic,
analysis, the calm consideration of
facts were their substitutes. There
was ever note Of fairness, even at
times of mercy. Jerome was no
longer attempting to shield the name
Of Stanford White; he accepted story
told by Evelyn as true, all but the
drugging, and made frank confess
sion to the jury that velvet swings
and mirrored rooms in studio houses
described by the girl we're miserable
reality. Jerome pleaded for the girl
because she had never had chance
for any of the higher, cleaner and
sweeter things Of life. The climax
came however when Jerome denounc-
ed Thaw and White in one breath as
two degenerate" quarelling over a
woman He said that Evelyn played
zone against the other until Thaw
killed White. The case will go to the
jury tomorrow morning. Thaw may
know his fate before the setting Of
another sun.
