ARM CUT OFF
HIGH ON Crane.
CAPTIVE FREED
Victim Chats With Surgeon
Working Left Handed in
Subzero Cold.
CAB PIERCED BY GIRDER
Doctor Performs Aerial
Operation Perched on
Top of Ladder.

LOWELL, Mass, Feb. ia At
year -old crane operator, trapped in
his cab so feet in the air, laughed
and chatted today as a surgeon,
working left-handed, amputated his
right arm at the shoulder.
The crane man, John Mccoy, was
taken to st. Joseph's Hospital after
the impromptu aerial operation,
where he was given $3.50 chance
to survive the ordeal which &C.
CURED in subzero temperature.
Mccoy had reported for work at
midnight. His job at the Lowell
Gas and Light Co. plant was to
carry coke with the crane.
A half hour later Michael Leahey,
another employee, heard a crash. He
looked up and saw that the cranes
cab, with Mccoy inside, had fallen
about 20 feet and was pierced by
a steel girder.
Hole Cut in Cab
Soon firemen were at the scene.
They raised a 60-foot extension
ladder and one of them climbed to
the cab. Mccoy could be seen in
side, his right arm pinned against
the roof by the girder.
The cab had been crushed in such
waNthat entrance was impossible.
John Regain, a company rigger,
went up the ladder and, with an
Acetylene torch, cut hole in that
side of the cab.
He then descended and DR.. Nor
man Gillmor Long took his place at
the ladder. The physician was pre-
coded by Fireman George Collins
who roped himself to a girder and
held another rope to help support
the doctor. Collins also held a
storage battery lamp, the only
source of Illumination
Complains of Cold
1t was necessary for DR.. Long to
clutch rope with his right hand
while performing the amputation
with his left hand through the small
aperture in the cabs side.
Us my arm gone, Doc?" asked
Mccoy when DR.. Long stuck his
head through the hole.
We'll see," the doctor replied.
Just take it easy
Its awful cold" Mccoy said.
Eyes, it is cold. But you'll be out
of here pretty quick" the doctor as
The extreme cold was both friend
and enemy to Dr. Long. Though he
and his patient suffered from ex-
posture, the zero weather acted as a
natural tourniquet, causing the
blood to CONCEAL and stemming the
flow, which in warmer tempera-
allure, might have brought death.
Il don't see how you're going to
get me out of here, even after the
arm is off," observed Mccoy as the
doctor worked.
Patient Lowered by Rope
AS the amputation progressed,
morphine and whisky were admins
tered to Mccoy, but even before this
the patient felt little pain because,
the doctor explained, his arm was
held above his head and the weather
was so extremely cold.
When McCoy's arm had been re-
moved at the shoulder, DR.. Long
applied surgical snaps. Then the
patient was squeezed through the
narrow aperture, a rope bound
around his midsection, and he was
lowered head first, down the ladder

INCREASE REPORTED IN
FARM G FOR 1885

The gross income of North
Carolina farmers lin 1885 was
$305,122,ooo, according to figures
supplied Dean 1. o. Schaub, of
Estate College, by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The figures includes benefit
payments distributed by the AAA
and the value of commodities pro-
duced for consumption on the
farm.
Cash income from the sale of
farm products amounted to $217,-
AZ, OOO.> AAA benefit payments
of $12,293,OO0 swelled the total
cash income to $229,768,000.
Farm commodities consumed on
the farm were conservatively valu-
ed at $75,354,000, the dean stated.
By way of comparison, he said
that the 1884 gross income was
s299.075, 900, of which $219,279
was derived from the sale of crops
and livestock and $17,314,000
from AAA payments. Products
consumed at home were valued at
$62,482,0 O0.
For both years, the cash income
from the sale of farm products
was based on returns from Is crop
and IS livestock items.
The dean poined out that al
though the AAA payments was
considerably larger in 1884 than
in 1885, and the income from cash
sales was somewhat larger, the
value of commodities produced for
home consumption rose from $62,-
$4,000 in 1884 to $75,354,000
in 1885.
The greatest value of home
consumed products IN 1889 was
more than enough to offset the
sight decrease in cash income, with
the result that the gross income
by $6,047,0 00.
All this indicates the trend away
from the production of cash crops
and toward the production of those
things needed on thief arm and
by the farm family, the dean stat
ed.
In other words, farmers are bal
ancing their programs and becom-
ing more self-sufficient.

ly improve their strains by making
arrangements to purchase high

bits at the Fair.
All club boys and girls from all

ned to enter exhibits, declares Mr..

lures program Saturday, October

familiar words OF our Golden Text.
believe On the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved"
Obviously Paul meant more
than a mere assent to the teachings
of the Master. To him salvation
was energy. "Dynamos," the
Greek word for power, is one of
the apostles favorite words. He is
never tired of repeating that God,
as we find Him revealed in Christ,
is an active force working with us
and in us.
Too often we assume that this
saving energy is not can for
common folk like ourselves, but
only for saints or apostles of unu-
sual ability and devotion. In this
we are mistaken. Salvation is a
moral, dynamic attitude and res
ponse toward Gods will and pur-
pose available for every soul. The
jailer needed it and was sensible
enough to adopt it. If you and l
follow in his footsteps We shall dis
cover a morale, a poise, a central
peace sufficient to refashion our
overstrained nerves. Then can we
say with Augustine, "Thou hast
touched me and l am on fire for
thy peace"

Our lesson narrative unfolds a

Paul, while in Phillippi, freed a girl
who practiced soothsaying from the
miserable tyranny of an evil spirit.
Her masters, seeing that their in

Paul and Silas into court, aroused
a mob against them, and allowed
them to be beaten and imprisoned.
Naturally the two men were I'M
able to sleep in the Phillippian Jail.
Fastened in the stocks they could
not change their position, and their
backs were sore and bleeding. I'm
daunted by their misery they pray
ed and sang hymns. Suddenly the
prison foundations were shaken by
an earthquake, and the doors quick
ly sprang open.
The jailer, greatly alarmed, was
prevented from suicide by the Wig
orous assurance of Paul that no.
one had escaped. Then, prompted
by some mysterious urging of his
inner self, he propounded the ques-
ton, what must l do to be saw

Get rid Of constipation by taking
