CTORIES OF TH3 WAR.
Rcatfrlrable Recoveries of Men Who
Wore Neirly Shot to Death.
From the New York Sun.
AT as hington', Oct. 10.—“ If the medical
corps of the army should give their reminis
cences they could add a great many in
teresting stories to the inoidends of the
war which make such popular reading to
day," .->aid an ex-artny surgeon now connect
ed With one of the departments in AA’ashing
ton.
“In 1863. I was the acting assistant sur
„eon C) f the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cav
Tjl rv . We cros. pj the Potomac at Raccoon
Foi k, and mare tied to Frederick, where the
command was changed, Gen. Hooker
succeeding Gen. Meade at the head of the
division, and Gen. Stahei was made com
mandant of calvery, in place of Gen, Pleas
anton.
On Sunday, Julo 2, the first brigade was
encaged in a mnal! fight at Littles town, and
following that we had another little flurry
nt Red Mills. Then came the battle of
Gettysburg. I was detailed to take charge
cf the hospital at Hanover, which was a
h few miles away from the field, and two or
three days after the fight a poor fellow was
brought in who had been found in a wheat
field, shot all to pieces. Ho had lain in the
hrmiing sun for three days without, food or
-belter of any kind, and he was in a horri
iilile condition. His case seemed a hopeless
one from the moment we laid eyes upon him,
but everything was done to case his dying
hours, and to make him comfortable as he
passed out of this world. Under the direc
tion of the supervising surgeon, a large
dose of morphine was administered m
order that he might pass away with as
little consciousness of pain as possible.
Rut forty-eight hours afterward be still
lived, and did not seem at all inclined to
quit.
“Just the a young lady from Hanover,
who had been helping around the hospital,
asked if there were any special cases of
which she might take charge. She was told
that there were, and was assigned to look
after this poor fellow. She did tier work so
well that shortly after he was able to be
removed from the field hospital to a better
one, where he continued to improve, and,
shortly after, entirely recovered. This man's
name was McEwen, and he had been a pri
vate in a Missouri regiment. AVben dis
charged as convalescent lie at once married
the young lady who had done so much to
ward saving h>s life, and soon afterward re
turned to his command, where ho rapidly
arose in rank, and was finally mustered out
as a Captain.”
“There was another interesting case which
came under my observation. At the battie
of Ballard's Dam, seven miles below Fal
mouth, Lieut. W. C. Weeks of the Fifth
Michigan Cavalry, received a shot wound
in the foot which entirely shattered all the
interior bones. He was taken to the rear
and attended by' Dr. Wooster of the First
Michigan Cavalry and Dr. Wood, of the
Fifth Now York These surgeons at once
announced that his entire foot would have
to tie amputated,, but Weeks declined to
have the operation to lie performed until he
had seen the surgeon ef his own regiment,
Dr. Arthur K. St. Clair, in whom he had
the utmost confidence. As soon as it could
be that, a portion of it could be saved. It
was late at night, but an improvised sur
geon's table was prepared and a number of
tallow diyis were lighted in order that the
operation might be properly performed.
Then Dr. St. Ciair dissected out all the an
terior bones of the foot and brought dowu
the heel bone, so that it was directly under
instead of behind the extremity of the leg.
From this bone he removed the articulating
surface, and. bringing a flapof flesh around,
finished what is known as the Pirogoff op
eration.
"This was the first and only time that
this operation was performed during the
war. The neld hospital wos not a very con
venient place for a man to recover from such
a wanna as this had been, and Weeks was
sent on to Washington, where he nad quar
ters in the hospital on Armory' square.
Here the attending surgeons examined him
and decided that, inasmuch as there was
great danger of blood poisoning, and little
hope of saving even a portion of the foot.he
must submit to an amputation of the lower
portion of the leg. AVeeks absolutely re
fused to have this done. He said that Dr.
St. Clair had told him that wit h proper care
he might recover, and he believed in St.
Clair more than any other surgeon in the
army. This somewhat disgusted the doc
tors, who had little time for sympathy in
those days, and Weeks was allowed to re
main with very little attention. He laid
t here for some weeks, growing constantly
worse and almost neglected, until one day
Senator Zach Chandler visited the hospital
looking for Michigan men.
“Weeks heard his voice as he passed
through the wards and shouted to Chandler
that he was a Michigan man, and that if lie
did not receive attention he would surely
die. Chandler responded in his charac
teristic style: i
“ ‘By G—d if there is .-my (Mi'e this side of
h ihat a Michigan man wants he shall
have it,’ and he was as good as his word.
“Under the patronage of the Senator,
AVeeks lingered along for some time, suffer
ing greatly from blood poisoning and from
malarial complications, but finally lie re
covered and was discharged. A\ hen last
heard from he was living in Allegan and
wore an artificial foot, upon which he was
able to get around very nicely.”
New Jersey’s Wild Man.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Greenwood Luke is one of the summer re
ports to which Jei-seymen and Gothamites
flee when the summer sun begins to slant its
torrid rays. The lake is in the midst of a
hilly and well wooded and sparsely settled
country. There has been talk for years of
the presence of a “wild man” in these
woods, and the report was verified on Sun
hay, w hen tne creature was captured. But
he got away again to his native wilds, and
the story of his capture and escape is inter
esting as well as exciting.
For a few days past the simple people of
the little mountain hamlet of Mountain
View, in Passaic county, have been in a
state of alarm and excitement over the sud
den appearance of the wild man in the
woods near the town. Hunting parties
"ere formed to capture him. They scoured
the woods in every direction, but could dis
cover no trace of him.
A large hunting party which scoured the
"'Kids ou Saturday tracked the wild man,
and after a long chase brought him to bay
early Sunday morning, lie turned on his
pursuers and fought with frantic despera
tion. He seized a club and swung it about
so that it was dangerous to get near him.
At last two of the hunters seized him. The
wild man struggled with almost sujxt
human strength. Not till he was utterly
exhausted were his captors able to overpower
him. They bound him securely and took
him to the town. The wild man could talk,
hut about all he said was:
“I want grass. Give me some grass. I
am hungry.”
Inquiries concerning who he was and why
he lived in the woods, brought no answer.
110 seemed to be about GO years old, though
hisago would not be oasy to determine. His
garments wore in tatters, and he seemed to
I* on the verge of starvation. His eyes
"ere big and wild, his face was thin and
haggard. As there wns no jail in the little
town to put him in, and as the inhabitants
were all afraid of him, he was taken to the
He! a ware and Lackawanna railroud station
and locked up in a little shelter for a switch
man. Station Agent Bean telegraphed here
requesting that policemen be scut to Moun
tain View to take the man into custody.
While the excited inhabitants of Sloun
tain View were awaiting the arrival of the
Police, the wild man wrenched the wooden
bars lrom tho window of the little shanty
" here he was confined and jumped out. He
fan for the woods, with scores of people
funning and shouting after him. They
sept up the chase across fields and through
woods, but the wild man ran with the speed
of a deer. He reached the forest, plunged
into the thicket and disappeared. Au
organized effort will be made to capture
him.
A GAMBLER’S LUCK.
He Borrows $5 from a Friend and
Conies Near Breaking the Bank.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Starting with a borrowed $o bill “to play
the bank,” Conrad Stoll won *>6,600 at faro
in four of the principal gambling houses in
this city between Tuesday noon aud mid
night on Saturday. It was perhaps the
biggest winning ever made in what might
be termed a single sitting by one man in
this city'; at least it is the largest in the
memory of some of the oldest gamblers.
It was a “crusher” on the “bank rolls,”
for the gaming-houses were the looser®, aud
it is said that in one of the houses he “broke
the bank,” the proprietor being obliged to
“turn the box,’’ indicating that the capital
was exhausted. The losses were divided as
follows: Gilligan’s, £2,200: Morton’s, £1,600;
Sholes’s, £1,000; Howard’s £BOO.
Stoll is not a professional gambler. Ho is
an engineer on the St. Paul road, and lives
at 800 Eighth street with his wife, formerly
Rosina Georg, who a few years ago attained
considerable notoriety as proprietress of a
dance-house in the Ninth Ward. After its
suppression by' Mayor Stowell and the po
lice, she married Stoll and settled down to
enjoy the income from the extensive prop
erty interests which she had accumulated.
Stoll followed his profession as a locomo
tive engineer, occasionally taking a lay-off
to “buck the tiger.” It was during one of
thase periods that he strolled into the
“Broadway House” on Tuesday He was
“dead broke” and borrowed $5 to sit
into a poker game. AVhen he quit
he had won £2O. With this in his pocket he
dropped into Morton’s rooms, on East AA'ater
street, and bought a “stack of chips” on tbe
faro lay-out. His stack grew larger and
then it commenced to fall, until it was down
to $lO. He divided it into two stacks of $5
each, and planted it on the last turn of the
cards out of the box. One stack he “cop
pered,” while the other he “played open”
It was even chances to win or lose and he
"called the turn,” doubling his money.
This was tbe beginning of the luck that fol
lowed hint until he accumulated the $5,600.
Calling nearly every turn of the cards,
when he quit he cashed in £450. AVednes
day, Thursday, Friday aud Saturday he
played for hours each day, going from one
house to another, winning by f the hundreds.
His biggest winning was on Saturday, when
he pulled $1,600 out at Gilligau’s rooms
without leaving his chair. He was given
a “limit” of SIOO on a single turn of a card
out of the box, and he played it. At mid
night Saturday Stoll called himself $5,000
winner, and had a roll wrapped up in a
SI,OOO certificate. The roll was “as big as
your leg, - ’ as one of tbe profession expressed
it. However, at midnight his luck changed,
and although ho played hard to regain it,
he lost steadily until 7 o’clock yesterday
morning, when he quit the game, having
lost S7OO since midnight in Giliigans rooms,
leaving him $4,900 “ahead of tbe game.”
In addition to their losses to Stoll, the
houses lost considerable money to other
plavers, who, attracted by Stoll’s unusual
luck, followed his play, One well-known
merchant won SBOO Saturday night, while
the other single winnings reached into the
hundreds. Stoll’s exploit was the one topic
of discussion among the gamblers yester
day.
SWALLOWED HER TEETH.
How a Physician’s Skill and an Um
brella Rib Saved a Lady’s Life.
From the New York Herald.
“.Mrs. swallowed her plate. Won't
you please come to the house right away J”
“She must have been pretty hungry,” was
the answer Dr. Charles Bliss gave the ser
vant who made this announcement to him
a few days ago.
“It’s a plate with her teeth on it,” was
the reply.
The doctor burned to the address given,
near Central Park, and found the family
physician trying to dislodge the obstruction.
The plate was in the shape of a horseshoe,
with one tooth at each end and gold clasps
beyond them for surrounding the two ad
joining natural teeth.
The patient, who was a lady weighing
over 300 pounds, was almost suffocated—
scarcely able to gasp for breath. Dr. Bliss
tried to pull the plate up, but the clasps had
caught in the tissues, and he succeeded only
in pulling off one of the teeth. In a few
minutes the patient stopped breathing en
tirely. Something had to be done instantly
or she would die. They were without
surgical instruments.
Dr. Bliss pulled out a penknife and cut a
slit in the lady’s throat, through w hich he
could feel the plate. She breathed once.
This was encouraging. He dashed to the
corner of the room, tore a rib from an um
brella standing there, wrapped his handker
chief around the end and by main force
pushed the plate down into the patient’s
stomach. Then he sewed up the gash in the
throat, and left strict orders to keep her
perfectly quiet all night, mid forbade her
any food or drink of any kind, even water,
before he arrived the next day. The pa
tient’s throat was, of course, inflamed, but
the doctor’s orders were obeyed, although
her thirst was intense. Next morning early
she bribed one of the servants to get her a
quart of ice cream and ate every bit of it.
AVhen the doctors called, soon after, Dr.
Bliss merely remarked that he “hoped she
would keep cool,” ordered two ounces of
castor oil and a bowl of oatmeal gruel and
left her chatting merrily with her relatives,
who would have been preparing her for the
grave had it not lieen for the common sense
and skill of Dr. Bliss.
An Exemplary French Millionaire.
Paris Dispatch to London Telegraph.
A French millionaire cuts but a very in
different figure in comparison with an
English one. The Gallic variety has but the
trifling sum of 1,000,000 francs, or £40,000,
placed to his account when his countrymen
one and all accord him the title. A real
substantial millionaire from the English
point of view has. however, been discovered
in the person of M. Arnaud Oyarcabal, who
has just returned from South America to
his native town of St. Palais, in the Basque
Provinces, where in his youth he helped Ills
father to sell goat’s mule. From his own
countrymen’s point of view the successful
goatherd is thirty times a millionaire, for
he possesses 30,000,000 trances, or £1,200,000
sterling. Fifty years ago Arnaud Oyarcabal
went out to Buenos Ayres with his father.
For a long time the two Basque iieasants
found the Argentine Republic anything but
an El Dorado, where, as in tho imagination
of many a poor emigrant, men pick up gold
in the streets. They suffered so much hard
ship and misery that the older man died,
and his son became a servant in the house
of a wealthy land-owner who lived in the
outskirts of Buenos Ayres. The land
owner had no family, and lie was so thank
ful for the devoted attendance of his Basque
servant that he made Oyarcabal his sole
legatee. On tho death of his master the ex
goatherd purchased several lots of land
between the Paraguay and the .Salado, and
these he sold in a few years at ten times
their original value. M. Oyarcabal’s return
to his native town of St. Palais has, of
course, made a great sensation in that rather
primitive locality, and he is the wonder of
the day all over the department of the
Lower Pyrenees. Far from dissipating his
doubloons amid the distractions and tempta
tions of Paris, "’here he might have a
Renaissance villa in one of the Bois de Bou
logne avenues, a stud of racers, a box at the
opera and be chronicled diurually, like
many of the millionaires from the New
World, as the giver of Luculluslike dinners
and the cultivator of expensive exotics, he
prefers to spend the evening of his days in
the shadow of his native hills and to do good
to the people among whom his early life was
passed.

A MISSISSIPPI ROMANCE.
A Girl Married to the Youth Who Was
Acquitted of Killing Her Uncle.
From the Baltimore American.
The Circuit Court of Calhoun county,
Miss., in session at Coffeeviile, has had the
climax of a romance. The last case on the
docket, was that of the St ate against Robert
and Simou AVoodward, who were indicted
tor the murder of Archie Douglass, an old
man who lived eight miles cast of Coffee
ville on the Vann Mills road. In June of
last year Bob Woodward, a youth 20 years of
age, began paving court to Alice Douglass,
a niece of the Archie Douglass who was
killed. He soon gained her affection, and
the two, hand in hand, approached the
uncle, asking his consent to an early mar
riage. Douglass immediately flew into a
passion, and ordered the young man to
leave the house, saving at the same time:
“Bob AVoodward, I have told you never
to darken my door again, and you heed
my words, for if you ever attempt to see
her or have any communication with Alice,
I’ll shoot you on sight.” This was a total
surprise to the young couple, who had an
ticipated no trouble in gaining the old man's
consent. An elopement was soon planned.
The young lover, accompanied by his
brother Simon an i a frienu, came to town
on Aug. 26, secured a marriage license, and,
waiting until night, rode out to Douglass’
residence. On nearing the gate Bob gave
tlie signal agreed on, but as no answer was
returned Simon, his brother, volunteered to
creep around to the girl’s window, and see
what was the mutter. The young man had
not taken a dozen steps before Archie
Douglass stepped from the shadows of the
house, aud without speaking, presented a
double-barreled shotgun full at his breast
and pulled the trigger. The gun missed fire,
and before Douglass could try the other
barrel, the young man had drawn a re
volver ad sent a bullet through his heart.
Douglass sank to the ground dead, and the
young men, mounting their horses, rode
back to town and surrendered themselves to
the Sheriff. When court came on a change
of venue was taken to Calhoun county.
This delayed the trial for a year, and it was
not until this term that the" boys had to an
swer tlie charge ot murder in the first de
gree. The jury brought in a verdict of
justifiable homicide, and the two brothel's
were at once discharged. Immediately Bob
Woodward rose from bis seat, made his
way through tlie crowd of spectators to
where a veiled female sat, ana, extending
bis arm to her, led her back with him until
both were facing the Judge, when Wood
ward, presenting the license he had pur
chased a year before, asked to be married.
Tbe Judge soon tied the knot, and the
young couple, accompanied by a cheering
mob, repaired to their home.
A FOSSIL CONTINENT.
Australia as a Surviving Fragment of
the Primitive World.
From the Cornhill Magazine.
If an intelligent Australian colonist were
suddenly to be translated backward from
Collins street, Melbourne, into the flourish
ing woods of tlie secondary geological
period—say about the precise moment of
time when the English chalk downs were
slowly accumulating, speck by speck, on the
silent floor of some long-forgotten Mediter
ranean—the intelligent colonist would look
around him with a sweet smile of cheerful
recognition, aud say to himself in some sur
prise: “AA’hy, this is just like Australia.”
The animals, the trees, the plants, the in
sects, would all more or less vividly remind
him of those he had left behind him in his
happy home of the southern seas and the
nineteenth century. The sun would have
moved back on the dial of ages for a few
million summers or so, indefinitely (in geol
ogy we refuse to be bound by dates), and
would have landed him at last, to his im
mense astonishment, pretty much at the
exact point whence lie first started.
In other words, with a few needful quali
fications, to be made hereafter, Australia is,
so to speak, a fossil continent, a country still
in its secondary age. a surviving fragment
of the primitive world of the chalk period o*
early ages. Isolated from all the remainder
of the earth about the beginning of the ter
tiary epoch, long before the mammoth and
the mastodon had yet dreamed of appearing
upon the stage of existence, long before the
first shadowy ancestor of the horse had
turned tail on nature’s rough draft of the
still undeveloped and unspecialized lion,
long before the extinct dinot.heriums, and
gigantic Irish elks, and colossal giraffes of
late tertiary times had even begun to run
their races on tbe broad plains of Europe
and America, the Australian continent
found itself at an early period of its devel
opment cut off entirely from all social inter
course with the remainder of our planet,
and turned upon itself, like the German
philosopher, to evolve its own plants and
animals out of its own inner consciousness.
The natural consequence was that progress
in Australia has been absurdly slow, and
that the country, as a whole, has fallen
most wofully behind the times in all mat
ters pertaining to the existence of life upon
its surface. Everybody knows that Aus
tralia, as a whole, is a very peculiar and
original continent; its peculiarity, however,
consists, at bottom, for the most part in the
fact that it still remains at very nearly the
same early point of development which
Europe had attained a couple of million
years ago or thereabouts. "Advance, Aus
tralia,” says the national motto; and, in
deed, it is quite time nowadays that
Australia should advance, for so far she has
l>een left out of the running for some four
mundane ages or so at a rough computation.
They Were Not Married.
Colonel George C. Grogan, a well-known
lawyer, tells a curious story concerning tbe
Glanton divorce case now pending in court
at Elberton, Ga. Mrs. Glanton sued for
divorce and alimony in 1881. Continues
Mr. Grogan: “AA’e brought suit and ob
tained one verdict. In the meantime we
effected a good settlement as to alimony.
Mrs. Glanton by some means learned that
Mr. Glanton was as anxious to be divorced
as she was, and with a vindictiveness worthy
of a better cause dismissed her case. A few
years afterwards Mr. Glanton brought his
suit for divorce. Mrs. Glanton defended
the case, and because Mr. Glanton refused
to admit the marriage, the case was decided
in her favor. About a month ago, I receiv
ed a letter from South Georgia that ends
this case in rather an unusual way. It
seems that when Mr. Glanton married his
wife she was a widow Carter, or represented
herself as such. This was in January, 1874.
But in 1865, in Taylor comity, she was mar
ried to Charles Carter. Bhe and Carter
shortly separated, and he went to Florida.
There ho married another wife. His wife —
our Mrs. Glanton—followed him to Florida
and prosecuted him for bigamy. He was
sentenced May 7, 1870, for the term of two
years. Strange to say, his wife No. L after
having prosecuted him, stayed in Florida
and used her wonderful energy in trying to
get him pardoned. But on July 18, 1870,
Curtcr escaped, and until about a month ago
•notiiing was heard of him. How the report
reached Carter 1 don’t know, but he heard
that Mrs. Glanton imd become wonderfully
rich, and uJso'bWd that sue was dead.
This suddenly revived his love. He, through
his agent, opened a eori'espondenoe with
me. T pretended that the report was true
as to Mrs. Glanton’s wealth, because I
wanted to get at the truth of this episodo.
About two weeks ago yyu may have notioed
a stranger animal hero—a modest looking,
middle-aged man, with blue eyes, brown
hair and light complexion, about five feet
five inches high. He stayed only two days.
This was Charles Carter. He found out
that Mrs. Glanton was not rich. This did
not seem to disturb him much; but when he
learned she was living he left these parts in
a hurry. So this ends the romance. Mr.
Glanton is not a married man, and Mrs.
Glanton is Mr*. Carter.”
The cleansing, antiseptic and healing
qualities of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy are
unequalled. a
