A Woman in Placed on a Table and Her Stomach is Removed. Sp clat to Cincinnati Enquirer. New York, January 5, There are many eminent surgoons who are thor oughly imbued with the ides of the olden time, and who do not look with favor on the remarkable things that their younger brethren in the profes sion have b.en doing in the last tew rears. They are still believers In the dd expectant theory, which simply means to do as little ai ycu can and expect nature to do it all. When the patient dies the old forgies fold their arms and perhaps say that they ex pected too much of nature, and send in their bill lor what they did not do as soon as convenient after tha funer al. It was one of these old (timers who rose op in the amphitheater in Bel levue Hospital after an operation bad been performed recently, and publicly called Dr. Jacobus, the op erator, a murderer He further said that he would see that the doctor would be' criminally PROSECUTED FOB HOMICIDE. This was an entirely new phase in aurgicil operations, and it had arous ed much discussion in medical cir cles. The fight promises to be a bit ter one, and will probably end in a split in the Academy of Sciences. There was some justification for the oflensive remark, inasmuch a? the op eration was one that bad never been performed before upon a human be ing, and was so extensive in its scape and "included the extirpation cf a vital organ, second in importance to none in the anatomy of man. 1 he old doctor was also backed up by the recsrd, which showed that in les ser cases in th same line out of twen ty three operations none of the pi? tients wero saved. It would then seem little less than murier for a ear f en to undertake such a case. The patient was. Marietta Holly a Washington woman, wbo had come to this city for treatment She was, until a year ago, a large, robust wo man, podsecged of gieat endurance and strength. She was an inveterate chewer of gum, but whether that bad anything to &j with her malady bas not been determined. " Her first symptom was losi of ap petite, and fo3d that she ate against her will was frequently ejected. She lo-t fk'sb aud strength rapidly, and when she was admitted to the hospi tal she weighed only seventy pounds and entirely helpless. The disease had affected her mind and she labored under the delusion that she was wealthy, and talked in cesssantly while awake about her money and what she intended to do with it. The nature of her malady was b trd t ) determine to a certainty. It was known to be located in the stomach anl was thought to be a tumor, but whether a cancerous form or not could not he foretold. The stomach was slight y swollen and there was another protuberance above it, for which no explanation could be given. The woman was nAKVlMO TO DEATH, and it was only ber splendid pbyi cat organisation that Lad kept her alive at all. The patient's ennsint, iu her men tal condition, could not be obtained for the operation, and Dr. Jacobus tcolt the responsibility upon bimsalf and did for her what, in bis opinion, was best. For this be has been con deinbcd by certain surgeons, wbo are built on the narrow-gauge plan. Tho patient was put under the iif fluence of ether, after careful prepa ration bad been made. for any etuer gcucy. An inciiion was made in the liaea a'ba, above the navel, about six inches in length. The abdomN nal wail was hardly thie'een thin pi per, aud so tender that it tore under the slightest-pressure. This faulty tiseure did not promise well for the outcome of the operation, aud in or der to remove the strain the incision was extended several inches. A por tion of tbt intestines were taken out and wrapped in hot flannel. They were very small and yery transpar cut, and the net-work of arteries was beautifully shovn when held in the light a very rare sigh indeed. The surgeon finally found the stomach and drew it for forward through the opening in the abdomen. It wa very drk in color and bad the ap pearance of parchment. It was dry and hard and cancerom, and with out a single element of A HEALTHY STOMACH. The surgeon mad : a careful exam ina.ion of the adhensions, and found that the pancreas was uot extensive y involved, lie freed the stomach from them, aud was then able t get a good view of it. Instead i f there being trouble only in the pyloric re gion, as bad been supposed, her was paesented a case in which the whole organ was involved. It was an un pleasant position for a surgeon to be in. To go ahead wai very dangerous, and to stop after the stomach hud been so much irritated was fully as liable to prove disastrous. Dr. Ja cobus bus plenty of nerve, and lie only hesitated a moment before de ciding to go on. In m .king up his rain 1 be was in fljenced by an experiment which be had about u mouth ago tried upon Fido, the well-known dog, at the College of Physicians and burgeons, which baa done so much for the bene fit of mankind, and seems to bear a charmed life. At that time he re moved the entire stomach from Fido, and the dog still lives without mani festing any inctvenknee from the operation which cost him the loss of this useful organ. Fido was a dog and healthy, and the question that presented itself was whether such an operation could be performed upon a weak human being with a diseased organ. Vt Jacoous thought tuai it would make no ditfrrence, and that there was as good a chance for cue as tor the other. In either case the chance was hard iy one ia one hun dred. After a ligature bad been tied around the duodenu n aad the esop hagus they were cut with a blunt scissors as near to the sto uacli as possible, care being taken to go be yond the diseased tissue, and THK STOMACH WAS REM VED. The arkrivi were all enlarged and the stomach would have bled fright fully il it had beon cut. After the abdominal space had been thorough ly cleaned a union was made by drawing the cordia and the pylorus together. It required great ingenuity to unite them, as the canals were oi dinVreut thickness and did n it tit well togeth er. Tne othor swelling was foun t to be a fluid pouch in the esophagus and as it was not of a malignaut ch imcter it was not touched. Tho abdtiminal would have lust been closed when Dr. Jacobus was called a murderer, as Ih fore related Or Jac bui did not prove a murder er. in tact, ne savea a me. The patient remtined nuc msciom f sev eral days aud then rallied. Her body was rubuod Mia on, and food was given her, per rectum, and the gained streng'tt rapidly. ' ax the end of two weeks she was Riven rood through the mouth witnout any bad fleet Diirostlon went on In a perfectly ua turtl manner, and from this it would seein that ths sto.uach has ben thought to play a more important . t .

The Kecord for '88 with Fiffiirt-H ot titaer lu-ars, PuilailelphU Tiuita. If the number of railways and the amount of capital obliterated by fore closure sales could bo taken as an :n dex of tho condition of railway busi ness the showing for 1888 when com pared with that of former years would be a hopeful one. Nineteen roads, with a mileage of l,fSG miles and capitalized at $64,535,000, were sold under fore.losureduripg the year. In but three of the last thirteen years was the wreckage smaller ia 1881, when sixtten roads, with a total length of 8G7 miles; in 1882 eighteen road, with 1,354 miles, and in 1883 fifteen roads, with 710 miles, were sold Mealed by the capital invested 1880 was the most disastrous year of the thirteen, the foreclosed roadi of that ye ir b iug capitalized at $374,- 109,003. The uext in tu? list wa 1887, with 1328,181,000 of foreclosed capital. Tne foiccl isures of 1878 in volved f31U,C31,0J0. th sjof 1883 $278,494,000 and so on down the li-t, the foreclosures of tho thine eu years beginning with 1S7C involving 423 railwa.?, with a toti.1 mileage of 43,- 770 miles aud a combined capital of Solfaio.DJO, or tw -nty eight per cent. f the entire mileage and thirty perc ut of the pres -nt railway capi til of the c iiintry. These figures placj the aveir'e an nual rate of foreclosure for tha entire period a thirtyi-two rail wars with 3," 3G7 miles of track and 195,703,401 of c-ipi a! a id a year in which only ono-ha.f the average mileage and onc- thitd the average capital passes into foreclosure might be suppose! to be an exc -ptionally prosperous year. Uofortunately the f rcc!os;ire do cot tell the whole nor even an important part of the story. Mot forel jsure sales are the r. suit of inso'vency of several years' standing aud represent the actual railway failures of a for mer period. Very rarely iudetd do railways pass into the hands of the receiver and the auctioneer it the j same year. The record of railway r-ceivershij s in any given year will pi obably fur nish a more accurate te?t of the con dition of railway in'cres's than the record of foreclsjrw-s. Tested by this standard tlm year lSSj appi-urs to have been a-i dis trou in the mat ter of railway wre kage as the average of the pas. thirteen years. Twenty, two railways, with 3,270 mile of track and opitai'zj l at flSb',Sl4, 000. passed into the bauds of receiv ere during the year. It is evident from there lb u res that increased rait- way pio-perity need not be looked for until the building of lines fot which no adnpiate bu-iness exi ts and the wagiug of ruinous rates wars cease Tho showiug of the past year certaiu'y does uot encourage people with money to invest to put it into railway stock acd bonds.

Many Phases of Editorial Life Culled by The Detroit Free PreMM. The last issue of the Arizona Kick er contains the following: Nearing the Limit. We have been repeatedly asked why we did uot open on the O. & S. railroad for it slow time, miserable cars, rough road, high rates and generally incom petent servico. It is because we have been expecting an annual pass from the road. We applied for it three months ago, but have heard nothing as yet. We are nearing the limit. If (hit pass is not here inside ot a fort night w.- shall sound our bugle in a manner to make the ofllcicals of the road wish they had never been born. Not Oun Night. Maj. Rathbone mad ) a personal assault on us last Tuesday, as we were about to inter view the prosecuting attorney in re sard to the Kellar affair. We prt cume it was because the Kicker of last week refrrre I to the major as a liar and an absconder. We presume it was, although he made no explana tion. A minute before he seized us we felt like fighting. A minutes af terwards we were cn the run. There are times when we can outrun any enyote in the glorious west. The ma- J t happened to eet us on our otf uiglit, or he would otherwise have teja reduced to pulp. There is a gjod deal of wiuking and chuckling around town, but we don't see any thing to laugh at If we dida't have our spells we'd be a veritable terror to the whole district It's lucky for rizona that we were born that way. We Come Down. We stated our belief last week that our contempo rary, which is eternally bragging about its increase of circulation, did not print 150 copies weekly. We were honest in what we said. The old bristle backed hyena who claims to bj editor and publisher sent for us to examine his Lojks and figure up ins circulation. We made the as- toundiug discovery that he has a bona tide circulation of 103. When we arc right wo stick to the limbs at all hazards. When we are wronc we let g an 1 come down. We were wrong iu this case. We comedown. I be Howl'tig Coyote and Weekly Wish-Wash will please accept our i.umlile apology. Dos'r FoRuLTlr-lo adJition to the grocery in our front room, which is rapidly securing the cream of trade, we have established a tin shop in the rear of the shanty and propose to do all sorts of reininns. Later on we may add a harness shop and other needed enterprises. If we build in the spring, as we now figure on, we sliall put in a marble shop and furnish gravestones cheaper than bas ever been beard of in Ariz ma We may also add a grist mill. Janus Gordon Bennett, Henry Watteison and Amelie Rives may have time to junket around the coun try atd show off their clothes, but we haven't. We are always at borne.
