A Coincidence
Most Singular.
A Carrabelle Man Finds His Counter
part in Suffering In City
OF Atlanta.

The Atlanta Constitution Of recent
date contained the following;
One of the most singular condolences
ever recorded in the experience of the
medical world happened yesterday when
two men, each living in a separate state
came to Atlanta to be operated upon
for the same injury to the same portion
of the body at exactly the same time.
The two men figuring in this story are
j. +. Brown, of Carrabelle, Fla, and
b. A. Thompson, of Suite, N. c. Sew
eral days ago Mr.. Brown was struck in
the eye with a piece of steel which
caused him so much alarm and pain that
he came to Atlanta Wednesday morn
ing and had a well-knoWn oculist exam
inc the wound Mr.. Thompson sustained
a similar injury at almost the same
time, and came to Atlanta Wednesday
morning, at the same time for the same
purpose.
Both men, with their heads tied up in
bandages, stopped at the same board,
ing house, at 1872 CORTLAND street
owned by Mrs. Livsey. In the mean
while they had never seen or heard of
one another.
They both unknowngly arrived at the
office of the eye specialist at almost the
same time, Mr.. Brown arriving a little
earlier than Mr.. Thompson. While the
eye Of the former was being examined,
in walked Mr.. Thompson, and whose
examination Immediately followed that
of Mr.. Brown. The Oculist announced
to each of the two injured men that it
was necessary that the injured eyes be
removed.
The operation was performed in the
Atlanta College of Physicians and Sur
geons yesterday, the same physicians
working on both patients They were
given the anaesthetic at the same time,
and the physicians by this time had be-
come aware of the coincidence in the
two cases, and decided to make sepa-
rate inquiries among the two men, Just
to see if any other Uf their experiences
conceded.
AS they were coming from under the
anaesthetic influence, both men, in an
sWering the physicians, said that they
had been married twice; that they were
members of the Baptist church, and
that they both sarg
After the operation was completed
the Grady ambulance was called Mr..
Thompson and Mr. Brown were both
placed in it, and carried to their board
ing house on CORTLAND street. There
they were placed in separate beds in the
same room, and given similar instruc-
tions in regard to their recovery.
1t is said that Mr.. Thompson and Mr..
Brown have become good friends since
their misfOFtunes have hacoFna knOuyn
to each other. Up to the time they ar
rived in Atlanta, they had never seen
or heard Of each other before.
