m Remarkable Uaso of UonimisKionor
Murphy of Now York.
l.'ew York World.
- e
Police Commissioner Michael
<J. Murphy, recently appointed
1 end of the New York Police
t e[ artment, is a physical wonder,
in hat for the last 10 years ho
I as not tasted food. lie smokes
.villi his friends, talks with his
f-ienda, and is a pleasant com
1 anion generally, but when meal
tin e comes he is compelled to
retire to a private room and
j -u t ii p specially prepared food
i n his stomach through a rilver
t it.2 inserted below his esopha1
iv.
( nlor.el Murphy's case has att;a
ted the attention and excited
tiu wonder of the medical world.
m 1'i 1889, in the midst of nn excit
i.n political campaign, ho was
attacked with acute indigestion,
> i.ich caused a stricture of th?
W* tsophagus. lie was unable tf
swallow anything. To prolong
l.is life eminent physicians decid<d
upon what they informed, bin
might bo a fatal experiment.
They decided to cut into his
t iroat and afterward:* remove hi*
f omach. It was first decided
tnat his stomach should have rest
t nd for 50 days ho was fed unnaturally.
In describing this operation
Colonel Murphy has told how th<>
physicifrns would gather about
^ his cot each morning expecting;
V ^ to see him die. Ho refused to
t<ke an anaesthetic even when
t e operation became one of the
i iost painful under the knife and
c ??tted with his doctors wLilo it
W v as going on.
Colonel Murphy has told how
, le was y forced morning aftef
looming to swallow a yard of
I'exible rubber tubing until it
reached his stomach. ThrouglC
tiiis tubing the doctors would
] our a solution intended to clean
tae stomach and heal the ulccra
t id parta. The medicine waul
highly poiponoup, end had the
tube failod to reach the proper
plr.ce or had it been displaced the
patient would have been dead in
p f?.w minutes.
I luring this operation one of
the doctors always held a watch,
f >r it was dangerous to leave the
f >! 'tion too long, because it might
reabsorbed by the system Wnen
t e solution had been there the
j r oer length of time it was then
pu mped out.
At the end of 60 days the stoni^^ncl
was pronounced healed, hut
i ie ?ntime the colonel almost died
.NCAS
O
from starvation.
He had been a man physically
sound, weighing 240 pounds
After the operation h was reduced
to 86 pounds. He Weighs
today about 90 pounds.
After a consultation of the
most famous doctors of the country
it was decided that the only
thing that could keep Col. Murphy
from starving to death was
to cut into the abdomen and
insert a silver tube. He was told
that there was iittle chance for
him to survive.
"Go ahead,',' he said. I have
faced death before and I'll do it
again. If I die I'll forgive you."
The wound from the incision
healed within a few weeks and
the operation was successful.
Since that time no food has thus
passed his palate.
In spite of his physical disability
the new commissioner has attended
to political duties with a
carefulness which has won the
admiration of all his fellow-leaders
in Tammany. lie has set the
pace, in fact, for his associates in
the Democratic organization.

An Alabama Horror.
Birmingham, Ala., March 7.?
Ton days ago Mrs. Charles A
Footo, wife of a prominent con
tractor at Bessitner, was founi
dead in the kitchen of her honn
with her head almost severed. I
bloody table knife lay under he
body and there were evidences o
a terribly struggle. The theory
of suicide was advanced by Bonn
and of murder by others. N<
apparent motive for murder
as the house had not been robbed
and members of the family sail
that it looked like suicide, so it ii
stated. The coroner's jury begar
an investigation, the result o
which was not made public unli
Satlirdjiv Inst ii'lwin a A
Foote, the husban 1, was arrestee
as an accessory to the murder ol
Mrs. Foote. At tlie same time
telegram was sent to Atlants
ordering the arrest of Arthui
Foote, 18 years old, a son of the
woman. lie is in jail in A flan? r
charged with being the principal
in tlie crime. The woman's lift
was insured for $2,000, two pel
icies having been recently taken
out, it is said. The sherilf re
fuses to allow anyone to see the
elder Foote, but it is known that
he denies the crime.
The arrests have created a sen
Ration, owing to the prominence
of the parties and the shocking
nature of the crime.

Surprising Conduct oi the Moon
At 0:30 o'clock last night tin
moon was Reen in the easteri
heavens with a few clouds lazily
drifting about it and one ver}
bright star just below a little t<
the loft of it. Then about fiv<
mimutes later, out of the clear
bright light of tho moon's rays i
cross formed, a long cross, witl
narrow arms. And it turned iu
red as tire. For fifteen minute;
it lasted, and all J:e time it wai
firoy red. It was seen by hun
dr?ds and was unchanged for tin
time mentioned, while t tie sta
still shone brightly just to tin
left of its lower arm.
Then, gradually, this wonder
ful cross turned pale, and finall;
almost white. Thf,n by 7 o'clocl
it faded entirely away and tin
sky assumed its wonted aspect

A NOVEL LAW SLIT.
Case to be Tried at the Approaching
Term of Court in
Lancaster.
, Special to The Siam.
Lancaster, March 2. ? A
1 rather novel suit is now pend
ing in this county It grew
out of an otFer of the Atlanta
j Constitution to pay $500 to any
i new subscriber to the weekly
issue of that paper who guessed
nearest to the number of bales
i of cotton delivered at the port
of Savannah for the year ending
September, 1000. Mr.
Lewis Cauthen of Heath
springs is the canvassing agent
of the paper and in taking subscriptions
had an agreement
with subscribers that they
would divide the prize equally
with him if the winner. When
the guess box was opened it was
found that Mr \Vylie Lowery
of Oakhurst was the winner and
he accordingly secured the
$500, which he deposited with
the Kershaw Mercantile and
Banking company. Lowery
now refuses to divide, claiming
;tha.t he had no such agreement
with Chiuthen, and such agreement.
if had, could not he enforced
in the courts because it
would he in the nature of a
gambling contract which is
(contrary to public policy, etc.
<'nullum thereupon commenced
jsuit for the recovery cf his half
I of the money, making the banki
ing company a party and pro|cured
an injunction restraining
! the banking company from
I paying out the money until the
