Washington. Feb. 5.--Doctors at the George town University Hospital witnessed remarkable operation per formed there several days ago by Dr. George Fully Vaughan, of this city, on George A. Kelly, aged 20. The bones of IIelyl's knee were so badly diseased that pr. Vaughan decided on amputation.
 In the hospital was man about to die. Dr. Vaughan obtained permits sion from the dying patients family to remove the left leg in the eYont of death, and it was decided that the knee of the dead man should he erarted to the leg of the living suffer- CT. The transfer was duly made. The bones were rtyited together by SlHn- der. strong wire and the most deli cate phase of the operation, that of joining the ligaments, caused the sur geons to work as they probably never labored before. Every tissue, tendon and muscle was joined and the bones fastened together. Kelly is said to be improving rapidly.
