Mobile. July 11.--(specia1. )--For the first time during the three days of te- dlous trial of Conway Penny, former deputy city clerk. charged with ern- bezzlement, the taking of testimony varied from dull routine this after noon when Solicitor Webb made de- terrnined but unsuccessful effort to set before the jury the fact that the de- fendant had confessed to shortage before committee of the Common Council.
 The incident came shortly after the noon recess. Throughout the morning the procedure of going through pa- pers. check books. ledgers and accounts had proceeded with clock like monot- ony.. Immediately after the dinner hour the Solicitor called Alderman E. W. Faith. He testified in reference to the meeting of the special committee of the Council to ascertain what had become of the missing books in the city clerks office. City Clerk Dame ap peared and testified that 1t was then nrst known that Penny was short. Penny was called from his homo.
 Mir. Faith was about to relate what he said to the committee when Ed Rob inson, counsel for the defense. object ed. He declared that If there had been a confession 1t was fnadmissible on the ground that Penny was not at that time represented by counsel and was not warned by the examining board that his testimony might be self-in- criminatory.
 A long argument followed but Judge Semmes finally sustained Mir. Robin son.
 Solicitor Webb then resumed his at tack on the books and the testimony was not concluded when court ad- journed for supper.

OLD TIME SURGERY.
The Barbarous Methods of the Six
teenth Century.

AMBROSE Pare. a barber surgeon of
the sixteenth century, tells III his notes
how in 1857 he went to the long wars
TO get practice in surgery. He invent
ed some new processes, particularly in
the treatment Of amputated limbs.
Up to Pare's time the most barba-
rous means had been used to stop the
bleeding. In his own words: $50 soon
a. the limb was removed the surgeons
would use many cauteries to stop the
flow OF blood, a thing very horrible
and cruel in the mere telling. And
truly of six thus cruelty treated scarce
two ever escaped, and even these were
long i'll. and the wounds thus burned
were slow TO heal. because the burning
caused such vehement pains that they
fell into fever. commissions and other
mortal accidents. In most of them,
moreover. when the scar fell off there
came fresh bleeding. which must again
be StanChed with the cauteries So
that for many healing was impossible
and they had an ulcer 10 the end of
their lives. which prevented them from
having an artificial limb
The idea of abolishinC such cruelty
by using the ligature occurred 10 Pare
in one of his war Journeys, and his
success went beyond his own expeCta-
tions. His other discovery was made
within a few hours of his joining the
army. 1t was believed by the surgeons
