Result of ike Anatomical Investiga- tion by the Philadeiphia Doctors, Report fo the College of Physicians ! of That City. | The Surgical Aspect of the Case Chiefly Dwelt Upon. Special Dispatch to The Chicaao Tribune. PamapeLrma, Feb., 20.—Below is given an extract from the scicntific report of Dru. Pan- const and Allen on the Siamese Twins, bafore a strictly secret session of the Collegs of | Physicians of rhiladelphis. Tho bodies of the | Bismeso Twins being upon the table,the meeting proceeded to hear the roport of Drs. Pancoast and Allen, on behalf of the Commission: DB. PANCOAST stated that the dissection not having been en- tirely comploted, their report would be a verbal one, to be followed a{ some later date by o me- moir upou the subject. He further remarked that it had been egreed that he should consider chiefl y the surgical aspect of thematter in hand, while to his colleague lLad been assigned the ! dewonstration of the anatomical peculiarities. TIE FEATURE OF GREATEST INTEREST . ls connecied with this band, about 4 inches long | end 8 inches in circumference. In addition to thig, th ere are other points of importance in Leratology. in regard to the fulfillmentof the law of homolagons union, in relation totho juncture of the recti muecles, and the fascie of the obliquus and transversalis at their point of mecting i the centre of the baud. Inregard to the position of ile hearts, wo think their apices present toward each otler, bot we have mot yet opened the thorax. Tie livers we bavo found to approximate to each other, and to push through tho respective peri~ toneal openiogs into the band. We extended our incisions to the margin of the band in frout. By plecing my hand in the peritoneal cavity of Eng, and my colleague placing his hand iu the peri- toneal cavity of Chang, we pusbed before us processes of peritoneam which ranon to the median Jine of the baud, and wo could feel our fingers in tho lower portion of the band bobind the median live, with a distiact Inyer of peri~ tonesm between them, demonstrating at once tho PROLONGATION OF THE PERITONEUM INTO THE BAND, j and the completo separation of oue_peritoneal eavity from the other at this median live. Atove tisat wo felt some traces of vaseular connection, apparently running from one liver to the_other, bat this wo will oxamine into when we Lave a better opporiunity of carefully dissecting and cxawmining what vasculer structures may exist. We also noticed that, in turning off the flaps, consisting of tho anterior wails of the abdomen, the bypogastric arteries, as illustrated by- the dingrum on the blackboard, ran upward in each Loay into tho band, We 1ot them in this way, a8 wo thini, ioward the common umbilicus in the anterior interior surface of the middle of the band, 1t is probable that the two hypogas- tric arteries on each side passed through this umbilicus. Whether or not there were two - UNBILICAL VEINS, wo have not yet been able to decide, nor to an- swer_the question whetber tho umbilical cord wus double or eingle and composed of tke four | Liypogastric arteries and two umbilical veins, or wlether the placents waa single, double; or Awin. We also recognize that TIHE ENSIFORM APPENDIX of each side was prolonged andunited in the widdls line. On our later examination, we find that there s compleis continuity of siructure of the carti- iges, but no true joint at the middfe linc, al- iHough it is poesible there may be some synovial jacs furtber up. The motion is mainly due, as [ 2cre demonstrate to you by moving these bodies 06 upou the other, to the clasticity of the con- accied ensiform oppendices aud intervening +libre cartilages. In regard to the vascular COSNECTION OF TIIE BAND, wo have not yet been able to wake so thorough 1nd careful an examination as we wished. Bub sull, iu throwiog colored plaster into the portal zurculation of Chang, it has been found to flow througu the vessels Of the upper part of the band o the portal vesgels of Eng, so that the sargicul anatomy of the band consists in the skin eni fascla _which cover it, the ino separate peritonecal pouches which meet in the middle, the large peritoueal pouch, the vascular couuection—to whatever extent that may exist—between the two portal circala-* tions, and the remains of the hypogastric ar- teries i the lower portion of the bsud. Thus the main difficulty iu sny operation for a scction of the band would seem to be in regard to the peritoneal processes and the portal circulations. “'ho anastomosis, which may exist between the internal mammary arteries and the intercostals in the integument in the upper portion of the band of cotirae would present no difficulty. OFERATIONS ON THE PEBITONEUM may not be considered 8o hazardous in this doy When ovariotomy, gastronomy, and even cxsar- ean scction, aro 80 often performed. The peri- toneum pozchies themselves wonld not present 80 great o difliculty as might be anticipated un- der pressure, by which the sensitivencss of the structure might be 80 altored as to permit of a section. 1 was informed at Mount Airy that in Parisa eurgeon had made the experiment of applying pressure upon the band, and iz was reported tha twins had fainted in consequence. Icould not ascertain, however, whether this was from de- ©ign or actual pain, PECULIARITILS OF THE TWINS. As Dr. Hollingsworth is present it may be proper for me to mention a fact which that gentleman can coriocorate, that Esog was the stronger phiyically, and Chang was the stronger mentally. The same difforcuce was observable in their characiers. Chaung was more irritable than Eng, especially since ao attack of aralyais with which Lo hod been afificted, this ing in the side next to Eng. Tho latter had not only to bear with the irritability of weight— among other poculiaritics Chgng would some- times break useful articles or throw them in the In conclusion, let me say that when I turned up the skin and superficial fascia of the incision on the posterior part of thebsnd, I was struck with the development and the strength of the abdominal aponcuroses. The fibres arched, in- zerlaced, and doveloped into o strong fibrous band about a quarter of an” inch wide, ruuning around the median line, although thers was no actual joint in the cartil SOLDIERS’ REUNION.

The Pavenport Forger Wanted at Several Other Points, Miscellaneous Criminal ltems. Murder of 2 Womarp, From tke Davenyort (Ia.) Democrat, Feb. 18, The neighvorhood of Long Grove, in Allen's Grove Township, this county, was {hrown into a stato of groat excitomont_last_evening by the report of the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Brown- lie, wife of A. W. DBrownlic, a well-known farmer of thot section, The tragedy occurred t the houss of Mr. Drownlio, noar tho northern border of Sheridan Townsbip. About 7 o'clock last_ovening Mr. Brownlie Jeft bis homo ang his family, consisting of wife shd four clildron, to go over to his father's house, about a mile distant. About half an hour, or lcas, after he had gone, tho tragedy occurred. Mrs. Brownlie was sitting at a window ecwing. Beside ber, on a stool, was the youngest child, Andrerw, 4 years old. Tho other three children were in the fame room, playing upon the floor. Soon Mrs. Browntio heard a noite at a window 1 anctier room. She listened and said *“Hush !" to the children. That was the sigpal for her doath. Inauinstantalarge brick was thrown through the window, crashing through glase and sash, and falling upon the floor. Then followed a doafening roport, and & shot-gun was dis- charged from outside the window, tho entiro chargo entering the loft shoulder, and almost tearing the arm from the sacket. The murderer saw that this one shot was not fatal, sndin a moment, beforo she could get away, another one followed, the conients or the gun striking tho poor woman in the left breast. She gave one long agonized shriek, fell to the floor, andin a minute was a corpsa. The last shot had been so close to Mrs, Brownlie that her drees was get on fire. Willie, Dext to the oldest child, noticed this, and, going {lon:lnrd, extinguished the fame with his baro. ands. A Iargo portion of the shot that killed his mother struck the face of the little boy Andrew, cutting it so seriously that death or disfigure- ment moy result. Tho child to-day is under proper medical care, and may possibly recover. / The father returned home in about an hour after the murder took place, at about half-past 8 o'clock., ‘The first thiog he snw was the dead body of his dear wifo lying npon the floor in pool of blood, and blood sl over her clothes, face, aud breast. He gazed at the awful sight in abject horror. The oldest child, who with the others bad been hiding in terror in a corner, came forward and told the story of her mother’s death. Twomen, at least, were concerned in the murder. ‘The prime object of the villains must have been either robbery or something worse. A window 1n the mitting-room adjoining tho kitchen, where the tragedy, occurred, had boen broken in, snd the eash romoved, ono man doing this whilo the otber stood guard over the unguarded woman. The removal of this sash was what Mrs, Brownlie heard. It bad probably been arranged between the men that if the alam was given, Mrs. B. was to bo shot by the man who ‘was watching her at the window whero sho was sit- ting. She lLeard, and sho was therofore killed. The childrendeclare that no one entered the room, and they saw 1o ono whatever. It is certain that no man entered the house atall— not a single article being disturbed or taken, the burean not touched, and no tracks of mud on the carpet. No ono can imagine what was tho real object of the murderers, or who they are. Some of the nelfibbom started off in pursnit, but nothing furtber was learned of them, Itis thought that the perpetrators belong in'tbas vicinity, although nothing is known as yet to Justify such a beliof.
