SIAMESE TWINS DIE,
BAFFLING FAMOUS DOCTORS
One Sister Follows Other To Death
In Few 8econds—Operation
i Was Refused.
I Chicago.—Josefa and Rosa Blazelc
the "Siamese twins,” died at a hospi
tal here, Josefa’s death occured first
and was followed in a few seoonde
by the death of her sister. Phy&icians
declared that in the event of the death
of one of the sisters the other would
die quickly, as their brother, Franh
Blazelc, had refused to permit an op
eration which would sever their bod
ies.
! The twins had been in the hospital
ten days. Josefa was ill with yellow
•jaundice, and that was followed by
pneumonia. Shortly before her death
Rosa was afflicted with bronchitis.
, Preparations had been made for the
/severing operation and the physicians
were ready tp make every effort tc
safe the life of at least one of the
women.
I Hope of saving the life of Josefa
was finally abandoned according to Dr
B. II. Breakstone, chief of the surgl
cal staff at the hospital.
"I tried to get the consent of the
brother to operate to save the life ol
Rosa, but he refused to give his per
mission,” the physician added.
Doctor Breakstone explained that a
delicate operation. would have been
nopossary. Before their death he had
expressed the opinion that the physio
logical affinity of the twins was so
vital that if one should die the othei
might also succumb before the band
,of flesh and bone that joins then;
could be severed.
“Sarge Plunket,” Author, At Rest
Atlanta.—"Sarge Plunkett" is dead.
A. M. Wier, widely known throughout
the south as "Sarge Plunkett,” a nom
de plume used by him in writings
published in many papers, died at his
residence in Decatur after an illness
of several months. He is survived
by his widow and two sons, William
S. Wier and Julius Wier. Mr. Wier
was born in Pike county, Georgia, in
November, 1846. His early life, like
that of many another boy, was void
of educational possibilities in the days
just prior to the outbreak of the great
war between the states. His educa
tion, however, was limited, and only
by dint of hard efforts and determin
ation to acquire knowledge did he
build the foundation for later series of
writings which, under the pen name
of "Sarge Plunkett,” were known and
read throughout the state and in many
adjoining states. At the beginning
of the civil war he volunteered his
services to the confederate cause and
fought under the banner of General
Longstreet.

Careless Motorist Blamed For Deaths
Atlanta.—There is a great need for
a crusade against the careless auto
mobile driver, according to a state
ment from President W. A. Winburn,
of the Central of Georgia railway.
President Winburn says that the elim
ination of all railway grade cross
ings, although desirable, would be im
•possible, that 'the elimination of the
1,957 crossings on the Central of Geor
gia railway would cost $50,000,000
He says further that the protection
measures taken by the railways fail
to solve the growing grade crossing
problem because they teach the pub
lic that protected crossings are safe
whereas the reverse should be taught,
