TO REPAIR BROKEN NECK.
Unusual Operation in Hope of Saving
Albert Kraft's Life.

New York, Aug. 13.-An unusual
surgical operation was arranged for at
ST. Vincent's Hospital by DIR. John Fl.
Oliver, the reduction of fracture of
the cervical vertebrae, in other words
the repair of a broken neck. The pa
tient was Albert Kraft, this state, who
was brought to the hospital last week.
His condition was serious, but there
was hope that his life might be saved.
Kraft fell eight days ago from tree
while gathering fruit. AS cOnse-
quence of the fall, the bones of the
neck were separated and the spinal
cord, though unbroken, was badly
bruised. He received immediate medi-
cal attention, but as there was no i'm
provement in his condition, his body
from the neck downward being for the
most part paralyzed, especially his
arms and legs, it was decided to bring
him to this city for an operation. The
nerves of the face. the heart and the
stomach were not paralyzed, and as
he was able to eat and digest his food
the hope was given that he might sur
vive. 4..,.
This case recalls a similar one of
half century ago in this country. Jo-
Seph Moore Wasthc SON law of Ben
nett Bryant, who lived north of the
city near what is now Crown Hill.
The sOn-in-law, who lived near the
father-in-law on the same farm, went
one evening to the chicken house OF
the latter to get Moores chickens The
men had fallen out and Moore was
moving from the place. While Moore
was in or near the chicken house, Bry-
ant struck him with & pitchfork, one
tine of which entered his neck Moore

ONCE LAUDED TENOR DEAD.
Mierzwinski, Whom New York Liked
Years Ago, Ends His Life in Poverty

New York, Aug. 13.-Ladslas MierZ-
| winski, the tenor who was once popular
| in New York and for a short time en-
| joyed triumphs of an unusual character
abroad, is dead in Paris after a career of
great contrasts.
A few years ago it was said that the
| once acclaimed singer had become a
porter at hotel on the Riviera This
was not exactly true, but his later days
were passed in poverty,
Mierswinski came to Hhis country I'M
der the management of Col. Mapleson to
sing at the Academy of Music, and made
| his first appearance as Rhadames in
| Aida in November, 1882 He was a
vociferous dramatic tenor, like Signor
Tamagno. who came later, but he lacked
Tamagno's natural voice and even his
skill and confluence in song. He had
wonderful moments that made him IA
nous in the Meyerbeer repertoire as well
| as in William Tell
| He had sung with great success in Lon
| don before coming to the United States,
and on his return to Europe he appeared
| in Vienna and other Continental cities
with success. Much of his popularity
| subsequent to his appearances in Vienna
was due to Pauline Lucca She had
made his acquaintance there and in the
next few years she demanded that when
| ever she was engaged the tenor be en-
gagged also
In the early '90s it became evident that
Mierzwinskfs fine natural voice could not
stand his method of singing. His
powers failed until he was forced to re-
| ti,-a kla frf1 nf-
forts to resume his profession until 1t
was evident that his voice was gone. He
appealed to his colleagues several times
to supply him with new costumes that he
might make other attempts
