Silver Plate Saves
Reason of Man

BRIDGEPORT. Conn. July 7.-Gil-
bert Egan, Of Syracuse. N. Y. q civil
engineer, will retain his reason as a
result Of an operation performed at
st. Vincent's Hospital by Drs. D. j.
Mccarthy and Grover c. Sweet, in
which a piece of the frontal bone one
and one-half inches long and half an
inch wide was removed and a silver
plate inserted.
The brain was exposed half an hour
while fragments of bone were re-
moved. The outcome has been in
doubt all week. 1t was feared that II
Egan did recover his mind would be
a blank.
He was injured a week ago in West
port, when he fell down a flight of
stairs. He was unconscious four days
and then became delirious. The opera
tion has attracted much attention in
surgical circles.

At Struggle For Life

NEW YORK. July Two thousand
persons looked on and laughed yester-
day afternoon while Peter Mcclure. of
Far Rockaway, struggled for his life in
the water of the Battery sea wall. No

cheered. for they thought 1t was a new
film in the making for the movies"
Mcclure, who had been sleeping on
bench in the park. awoke when one Of
the big boats dOcked and stumbled out
TO the gangplank. Pushing his way
thr"' n the crowd. he fell off the wall.

submerged him. A third wave lifted
him higher as he was struggling for
foothold. and he was able TO Chamber to
the top before sinking from exhaustion.

cert in the church auditorium, the Rev.

classes. Some drive as far as eighteen
old men. civil war veterans, pioneers in
Ohio. They como early to get good
seats and hear the preliminary sacred
