A New Thornx Operation.

At the German Hospital in New York
DR.. Willy Meyer performed for the first
time in this country an operation Upon
a human being in which the cavity Of
the thorax was opened while the lungs
were kept inflated from an air chamber
at a pressure greater than the atmos-
phere. This new appliance is known as
the positive air pressure apparatus mod
eled after that Of Prof. Sauerbruch. It
consists of two chambers with a door
connecting and another door connecting
the smaller chamber with the outer air.
The cha m are lined with rubber and
are connected by pipes and valves with
an electric air compressor. The operat-
ing table is so arranged that the patient
lies with his head within the main cham
Der, a rubber n%eckpiece fitting tightly 50
as to prevent the escape of the compress
ed air. A glass front to the chamber
enables the surgeon to see within whcrs
two anesthetists administer the ether,
the smaller chamber, also under air pres
sure, being for their convenience. The
operation in question was upon a little
boy for empycmy. After the cavity had
been opened it was found that one lung
was compressed. The matter was quickly
removed and the lung expanded at once
so as to be used in respiration, The pa
tient is doing well,

LIFE TERM TO BOYLE;
WIFE GETS Is YEARS
Woman Also Is Fined $4,000 and
Costs in the Billy Whitla
Kidnapping Case.
BOTH PRISONERS COLLAPSE.
Husband and Spouse Are Carried
Most of Way Back to Cells-She
Weeps Violently in Jail.

In Mercer, Pa. Judge Williams on
Monday sentenced James II. Boyle, con
victed of kidnapping billy" Whitla. to
imprisonment for life in the western
penitcntiary at Pittsburg. Mrs. Boyle,
indicted as Mary Doe. was sentenced to
twenty. five years in the penitentlary
and to pay a fine of $4,000 n costs
of the prosecution. Boyle did not
cause the scene in court which he had
threatened and did not utter a word
before being sentenced. His counsel,
however, pleaded for leniency for both
Bowie and his wife. The lawyer said
that until a recent period the extreme
penalty for kidnapping in this State
was ten years and in view OF the tact
that the boy had been treated with
every consideration and that all care
had been taken not to intlict unneces'
sary mental anguish upon the parents
he felt leniency might be asked with
propriety. After Attorney Miller or
counsel for the Boyles had completed
his plea for leniency in behalf OF his
clients Judge Williams told Boyle to
stand up and asked him II he had any
thing to say as to why sentence SHOULD
not be pronounced upon him.. Boyle
merely said, Il have not and shook
his head. Judge Williams then ad'
dressed the prisoner and told him OF
| the seriousness of the crime of which
| he had been convicted. Both Boyle and
his wife collapsed on hearing their
| sentences pronounced. Mrs. Boyle Wept
| violently when returned to her cell.

REPORT SHIP LOST WITH 81.
Shores, Six Days Overdue, Believed
Sunk in Lake Superior.

Advices received at Duluth are to
the effect hat the steamer Shores, six
days overdue at Duluth, went down
Off White Fish Point in Lake Superior
with all on board. The crew n pas
sengers numbered twenty-one.
News of the destruction Of the
Shores was brought to Duluth by the
crew of the steamer Northland, who
say that as the latter was passing that
point on the way up they discovered
! wreckage strewn all over the lake,
and, in their opinion, it belonged to
the Shores. The fact that she was a
| week overdue at Duluth and no word
Of her has been received adds color to
the theory.
The Adelia Shores belonged to the
S. O. Neff Transportation Company of
Milwaukee,, and is said to have been
/ up bound from Michigan with a load
of salt. The ship was of 1850 IONS
| burden and under command of Captain
S. Holmes. The engineer was r. S.
| Mott. The names Of the crew nj pas.
sengers are not o~btainable.

LOST John ORTIZ IS
NOW FOUND IN OHIO
Chicago Paper Claims to Have Un'
earthed Missing Archduke OF
Austria.
HAD WORKED AS a MACHINlsT.
Drifted All Over the World-Loso
His Wife and Children in
Pelee Eruption.

The Chicago Journal the other day
devoted it's entire front page to the
elaboration Of an unequivocal state
ment that it has discovered the lost
John Ortiz" otherwise Archduke Jo-
ham Salvador, of Austria, prince OK
the house Of FIapsburg, who disap-
peared nineteen years g after marry
ing Ludmilli Stubel, an opera singer.
Briefly sketched, the Journal story IS:
John Orth was discovered at Paines.
vile, Ohio, working as a machinist at
SIS a week. Previously he had fox
lowed this occupation at Grand Rapids,
Mich, and Cleveland, Ohio. His rea-
sons for making his identity known at
this time, the Journal states, are his
advancing age and his desire that he
be buried in Austria.
Johann Saltwater, as the alleged arch
duke has always been known since he
left the court at Vienna, was married
in London, and he and his wife after
wards sailed to South America in he
Santa Margarita, a schooner that he
had chartered. 1t has always been be-
lieved that the archduke lost his life
when the schooner sank off the coast
Of Chile.
According to the story of the Paines-
vile machinist, he and his beautiful
wife were not aboard the ship, as was
generally thought to have been the
case. They went ashore at Cusavana,
a small port on the Rio de La Plata
1t was planned that they meet the ship
/ at Valparaiso. but the craft sank en-
route.
The romantic couple drifted all over
the world, finally taking up a planta
ton on the island of Martinique. When
the first rumblings of Mt. Pelee gave
warning of the catastrophe that fol
lowed soon afterward, Johann Salvador
made a hurried visit to the city to ar
range to get his family away. But thu
warning had come too late. His wife
and their two children were killed.
Salvador, according to the Journa
story, was rescued by a French gun
boat and came to the United States.

TWENTY DROWN IN OHIO RIVER.
Gasoline Launch, Heavily Loaded
with Steelworkers, Sinks.

Twenty persons were drowned When
a gasoline launch sank in the middle
of the Ohio River near S~choenvllle,
four miles below Pittsburg, tuesday
night. OF the thirty occupants OF the
boat only ten escaped. All the men
were employees of the Pressed Steel Car
Company at the McKees Rocks plant.
The men had been working overtime
until s o'clock and left the works to
cross the river in the launch fifteen
minutes later. The boat is said to
have been intended for not more than
twenty persons, and it was understood
it was dangerous to attempt to carry
as many as twenty-five in it. But all
the men wanted to get across the river
on the first trip of the boat and thirty
Of them crowded in. There was no
explosion, no leak was sprung, but the
BOAT simply sank beneath the weight it
had been bearing and went to the bot
tom. AS it sank, it caused a suction
which took many of the men down
with it. Others attempted to swim
ashore, but were chilled by the cold
water and became exhausted before
reaching the shore.
