Mr. Finn, by request, brought up a
claim of Mr. J. H. Orady for $8.?5,
the amount expended by him while

Anally decided that Mr. Grady haa
no claim against the city for the
amount as he went In search of
Moses on his own reaponslMllty In
hope of affecting his capture and
thereby obtaining a part of the re?
ward offered. He accompanied Mr.
W. G. Stubbs on the trip In question,
an<! Mr. Stubbs contended that nei?
ther of them had any claim against
the city for the money expended by
them.

that all man so elected hereafter be

Lee stated In reply to questions that,
according to ths very best informa?
tion he could obtain It was a danger?
ous proposition to discharge the sew?

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
R. B. Murray, Colored Found Dead
Near WedgeAekl Saturday Night.
Coroner Flowers was called to
Wedegefleld Sunday morning to hold
an Inquest over the body of R. B.
Murray, colored, who was found dead
beside the railroad track Saturday
night about 10 o'clock.
The evidence given by several wit?
nesses who were called to testify at
the Inquest developed the following
facts: Murray, who spent the even?
ing at WedgeAeld, left the depot about
10 o'clock to go home. About half
hour later he was found dead beside
the track with his skull crushed and
one hand cut off. When found his
body was still warm and blood was
Aowlng from his wounds. Two trains
passed WedgeAeld going toward Co?
lumbia between 10 and 10.30 o'clock
and the inference is that he was kill?
ed by one of them. The witnesses tes
tlAed that Murray was apparently so?
ber when he left the depot.
The verdict of the Jury was: "R.
B. Murray came to his death from a
blow by a passing train on the A. C.
L. R. R. sometinme between 10 and
11 o'clock p. m."

CLEVELAND FUNERAL SIMPLE.
NO POMP OR SPLENDOR WILL
MARK THE CEREMONIES.
Route of Feuneral Cortege Will be
Well Policed, But This WU1 be a
Precaution for Protection of the
Living President?Many Distin?
guished Men Will Attend?Dr. Van
Dyke to Assist in Conducting Ser?
vice.
Princeton, N. J., June 25.?The
funeral of Grover Cleveland tomorrow
will be marked by extreme simplicity.
Although twice elected president of
the United States, no pomp or splen?
dor will have a place In the ceremo?
nies. There will be no bands to play
mournful dirges on the way to the
Princeton cemetery, no military es?
cort, no eulogy by the officiating cler?
gymen. The half-mile of thorough?
fares through which the cortege will
pass from "Westland," the Cleveland
home on Bayard Lane, to the ceme?
tery will be policed by mounted troops
and blue coated soldiers, but they
will be there for police duty and as
a measure of protecting the living
President rather than as an element
of display in paying tribute to a de?
parted Chief Executive.
It has been Mrs. Cleveland's wish
to avoid anything of a military nature
at the funeral and It was only when
the necessary of guarding President
Roosevelt was borne upon her by
those in charge of the funeral ar?
rangements that she consented to the
presence of the troops. The final ar?
rangements for the ceremonies and
the names of those elected to officiate
were announced this afternoon.
Four clergymen will offtcate at the
house and at the grave. They will
read the burial service from the Pres?
byterian book of common worship, but
will offer no eulogy. The simple but
Impressive service will be conducted
by Dr. Henry Van Dyke, of Princeton;
the Rev. Dr. Wm R. Richards, pastor
j of the Brick Presbyterian Church, of
New York; the Rev. 8ylvester W.
Beach, pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, of Princeton, where the Cleve?
land family attended, and the Rev.
Mainland Bartlett, former pastor of
the same church. There will be no
honorary pallbearers. Those who will
bear Mr, Cleveland's body to Its
final resting place in the Cleveland
plot will be: Mayor George B. Mc
Clellan, Paul Morton, Commodore E.
C. Benedict, Richard Watson Glider,
of New York; Prof. Paul Van Dyke,
Dean Andrew F. West, Prof. John G.
Hibben, Junius S. Morgan, a nephew
of J. Plermont Morgan, A. D. Russell,
Prof. Howard McLenahan, and Bayard
Stockton, of Princeton.
The services at the house, which
will begin at 5 o'clock, will be brief,
after which the cortege will be form?
ed and proceed to the cemetery down
Bayard lade to Nassau street, the
principal street in the village, thence
up Van Deverter avenue to Wiggin
street, which leads to the cemetery, a
highway along which clusters many
historic memories.
Only those invited to the funeral
and a few newspaper men will be per?
mitted to enter the cemetery, which
will be guarded by mounted troops
and members of the National Guard
of New York. The simple Presbyte?
rian service will be said at the grave,
the casket lowered Into the ground
and one of the country's most distin?
guished citizens will have become but
a memory.
Preslden Roosevelt, Governor Fort,
of New Jersey. Gov Hughes, of New
York. Governor Hoke Smith, of Geor?
gia, a member of President Cleveland's
Cabinet, and other notable citizens
are expected to attend. The Presi?
dent will arrive on a special train
from Oyster Bay tomorrow at 4:40.
He will be met at the station by Gov?
ernor Fort and they will drive direct
to the Cleveland home. After the
ceremonies the President will leave
Princeton at once on the special car
Signet.
Although admittance to the Cleve?
land home and to the cemetery Is to
limited, principally to personal friends
of the family, thousands of people are
expected In Princeton tomorrow.
Princeton's police force consists of
only a few men, and the precaution
of safeguarding President Roosevelt,
of maintaining order and keeping the
thoroughfares cleared has become a
serious problem.
Mayor Robinson decided to call on
Trenton for police assistance and to
rope off the thoroughfares from the
Cleveland house to the cemetery, but
the utter Inadequacy of a score of
policemen to handle a crowd of sev?
eral thousand people and to keep the
cemetry free from intruders became
evident at once. Governor Fort,
through Assistant Adjt. Gen. Fred?
erick Gylkson, tendered to Mrs. Cleve?
land the State troops for a military
funeral. The tender was declined,
but was later accepted.

OPERATE ON THE LUNGS
Remarkable Operation Recently Per?
formed by a Surgeon In New York.
New York, June 25.?An experi?
ment which cost a dog's life was per?
formed at the Rockefeller Institute
last Monday.
Among the results may be the
saving of many human lives in this
country.
Ey reason of the civil war and the
number of men therein wounded, the
United States gave to the world
many opportunities for the advance?
ment of surgery, but nowadays Amer?
ica is again going to Europe for
many of the newest developments In
the science, and it was from Europe
that the men came who operated at
the Rockefeller Institute. The opera?
tion on the dog, which was for the
purpose of demonstrating the posslbl
ities of a new method of surgery, de?
vised in Germany, was performed in
the presence of a considerable group
of physicians and surgeons of New
York, who were very much Interested
in the demonstration.
Briefly, the purpose of the new
method Is to enable operations in the
chest cavity. Operations within the
area of the chest have been beyond
the skill of the surgeons, in large
part, for the reason that the opening
of the chest cavity sufficiently for
free operation work resulted In col?
lapse of the lungs from the atmos?
pheric pressure.
The patient died for want of breath.
For years the profession has studied
how best to narcotise the human pa?
tient when It was leslrable to operate
on the chest
Dr. Ernst Sauerbruch, professor of
surgery at Marburg University, Ger?
many, devised a method to this end,
and early last week he arrived In
New York to demonstrate at the
Rockefeller Institute. He brought
with him an assistant and a cagetiKe
operating room, built largely of glass,
which Is the essential vehicle of his
operations. He remained in New
York only a week and departed for
Germany on Saturday.
The operating room, or glass cage,
In which Prof. Sauerbruch works, is
about four or five feet square and
not qnite high enough for a six foot
man to stand upright in It.
Dr. Meitzer, In talking of the dem?
onstration today said that no pressure,
as the doctors call It, Is necessary for
the function of breathing In men and
other animals. In other words, a
pressure less than the normal pres?
sure of the atmosphere from which
the lungs are nominally protected by
the walls of the chest. In studying
the problem, Dr. Sauerbruch evolved
the idea of a glass Inclosed operating
chamber, enabling the production of
a partial vacum, yet permitting suffi?
cient air for the operators to live and
work in it.
The normal atmosphere pressure
being 760 millimeters, Dr. Sauerbruch
found that a dimunltlon of eight or
ten millimeters was sufficient for his
purposes; that with the air pressure
reduced to that degree, the lungs of
animals could continue their function,
though unprotected by their natural
shields. In his operation chamber the
air Is so reduced. The pressure is
kept down by an exhaust pump,
which is constantly working and a
new supply of fresh air is admitted
under control all the time, passing j
into the chamber through a wash bot?
tle, or filter. The operators and body
of the patient, or subject, except the
head, are thus in a field of purified,
diluted air. The head of the patient,
or subject, protrudes through a hole
in the chamber wall Into a normal
atmosphere, a rubber guard closing
the aperture between the patient's
neck and the perimeter of the wall
opening. So the patient is breathing
normal air all the time, and so is the
assistant who admlslters the anes?
thetic.
Under those condidtions, Dr. Sauer
bruch found that the chest could be
opened without a collapse of the
lungs. The discovery, therefore, en?
ables operations in desperate cases
on the lungs, or, for example, in can?
cer of the esophagus, which heretofore
has been inaccessible to the surgeon,
because as soon as the throax was
opened the lungs collapsed.
Dr. Sauedbruch and his assistant at
the Rockefeller Institute gave their
demonstration on a dog provided for
the purpose. Dr. Sauerbruch an?
nounced in advance that after the
operation he would kill the dog by
chloroform, after showing that it
could live within the chamber Mid
live after the excinslon of a part of
the lungs, and be did so.
Another operation was performed on
C. F. Green of B05tor
Bloodine.
