THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C. DR. GARDNE SECOND LECTURE. His Talk Last Friday Night to the District Militia. WHAT? 70 DO IN EVERY-DAY EMERGENCIES—FRAC- TURES, DISLOCATIONS, BRUISES, ETC., Dis- CUSKED—A NUMBER OF PRACTICAL AND LOCAL INSTANCES CITED. Dr. W. H. Gardner, post-surgeon at Wash- ington barracks, delivered last Friday night at headquarters, corner of 17th street and Penn- sylvania avenue, his second of a series of lec- tures he has been invited by Gen. Ordway and the officers to deliver before the District mili- tia. Printed notices had been issuéd that the lecture would take place on Thursday evening, but in consequence of the President's recep- tion and other reasons it was postponed until Friday evening, hence the audience was not so large as usual, though the ambulance corps, headed by Dr. D. Olin Leech, chief of the corps. turned out in force in uniform. Dr. Gardner was provided with an‘articulated skel- eton and a number of anatomical di: and with the assistance of one of the men he was able to ‘tically demonstrate in detail every subject his lecture comprised. He jan by saying that any bone of the hu- man bode from ‘the arching _ tee of the skull to the straight ones of the toes, may be broken by violence. A MISTEP ON A SLEETY DAY may result in the fracture of a skull, or the heel of a heavy man placed inadvertantly upon ‘the foot of another in a erowd may result in a serious fracture of the bones of that foot, But haps the most common of all fractures are Those ofthe arm and collar bone, and result largely from throwing out the hands and arms to protect the body in falling. The hand is to the lafge bone of the arm (the radius) yy firm ligaments, and as the whole force of the shock, in such cases, is transmitted direct to this bone there is more or less dislocation of the hand or wrist or fracture of the arm. In cases of fracture the ends of the bone should be placed as near together as possible and a lint and ban ut on to keep them in po- ition. Then a ads nature will do the bal- ance. Supposing an arm should be broken, said he, the hand of that arm should be taken and a steady regular traction made in line with the arm until the fractured end can be slipped into the place from whence it had been torn away. To keep it there the contractions of the muscles of the forearm. which tend to pull it inward, must be overcome, and this is THE OBJECT OF THE SPLINT. In times of an emergency a splint can be easily provided from a thin piece of board—in fact, almost anything that will give the arm support can be utilized—a small limb of a tree, a bundle of switches or even straws bound firmly together will answer until proper Go ances can be had. The main thing is to keep the bone in its natural and proper position. To keep down the swelling and allay pain keep ‘a bantages wet with alcohol and water, ar- nica and water, whisky and water or cold water alone. When a collar-bone is broken the patient can readily locate the spot by the pain, and there will be found a protuberance or swelling show- ing where one end of the fractured bone pro- jects above the other. This form of fracture is nearly always oblique. The simplest resort im this case would be the figure 8 bandage, which passes around each shoulder and crosses between them on the back. When both bones of the forearm are broken broader splints must be used, as one bone rotates upon the other, and if they should unite the rotary motion would be prevented and the eee use of the arm lost. The limb should be bandaged from the end to support circulation, prevent swell- ing and stop spasm of the muscles. The arm should be supported by A SLING FROM THE SOUND SHOULDER. A fracture of the upper bone of the arm is treated much in the same way. Should the ends of the fractured bones override, compresses should be used to keep them in place. _ When a bone of the foot, leg, or thigh, broken. said he, the patient should be down at once, and the limb elevated, which will tend to empty the veins and prevent swell- ing. Compresses and bandages should be ap- plied so as to adjust the fractured bones to their proper places. There are two bones in the leg, and if one only is broken the other will in a manner serve as a splint and prevent any great displacement, but a regular splint is nec- essary in either case, which, as for the arm, can be easily improvised. At this point Dr. Leech called attention to the case of Oilicer Rhodes, of the Metropolitan police, whose horse fell with him after the ade had disbanded Thanksgiving day, reaking the small bone of the leg just above the ankle. Dr. Leech was called in, and in the emergency, secureda long cigar-box,which. upon the top being removed and an end taken out, served admirably as a splint until the pa- tient could be gotten home and plaster cast affixed to the injured part. IN CASES OF FRACTURE OF A THIGH-BONE. Dr. Gardner continued, the first care is to lay the victim down—anywhere, if on the ground. The foot and leg should be pulled until the bones are close together and a long splint ap- lied. On the battle-field a rifle may used for this purpose. A limb of a tree, a board from a fence, or, in the absence of anything suitable, the legs can be firmly tied together and the sound one made to perform the duties of a splint for the other. 5 When the skullor spine is fractured but little can be done other than sending for a surgeon. In the majority of cases a minister would do just as well, if not better. When one or more ribs are broken the best treatment will be to a broad bandage about the chest as tightly as possible to pre- vent the motion of the ribs upon each other, as their movement in breathing often causes the sharp endsof the fractured bones to wound the lungs or its covering, which would cause hemorrhage and inflammation. TREATMENT OF DISLOCATIONS. In dislocations, said he, the treatment is similar to that of fractures, though the symp- tons differ widely. Tne most common dislo- cations are of the shoulder. There are several methods to reduce this dislocation, but the simplest is that used by Sir Astley Cooper, which consists of laying the patient down and bending his elbow at right angles to the arm. The operator then, after taking off his own shoe, places the heel of his toot in the axilla, or right under the arm and next to the sboulder, drawing on the arm in the mean- while with a towel or bandage fastened to the lower part of the arm, just above the elbow, to overcome contractions of the strong muscles about the shoulder. When this contraction is overcome the head of the bone can be slipped back into its socket, and the arm should then be bandaged to the side to prevent motion and the tissues to heal. Dislocations of the elbow can be usually remedied by placing the patient upon a chair and putting a bended kuee in the bend of the elbow and by bending the arm and pulling upon itatthe same time, which will bring | the bones back into their places with an audible snap. Dislocations of the wrist uncommon from blows upon the hand or from falling with the hand bent. These dislocations are usually backward or forward and should be treated by drawing upon the hand so as to relax the muscles and then pressing the bones back- ward or forward into their places. Splints with compresses should be used to keep them in ther places. Dislocations of the thumb or one or more of the fingers are not uncommon, from administering a biow with the clenched fist or in the great national game of base ball when attempting to catch a ball hit from the bat. The thamb poy be affected should be pulled at once until the contractions of the muscles are overcome and the bones replaced. ‘TRE DISLOCATIONS OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES arecommon. The dislocation ofthe femur or thigh require the use of chloroform or ether, and also a set of pulleys to overcome the con- of motion, and consequent! dislocations, but the plan mj treatment is Jar to that for dislocations of thé arms, &c. There is one form of dislocation, he continued, pom common. yet freq >. int are not | lamentable condition is conceded to be beyond the pale of medical skill and ingenuity.”_ THE DISLOCATION OF THE NECK is always fatal and calls for the services of an er instead of asurgeon or minister. ri is a species of neck dislocation which not always accidental, the; be cases of eme: ies, He tokens acpeed the ‘ot a hangman's how it was that criminals were often to death instead of ha‘ their necks cated, which invariably sudden painless death. SPRAINS, STRAINS AND BRUISES, A sprain is an injury caused by the sudden wrenching of some joint beyond the elasticity of the ligaments, causing the rupture, either complete or partial, of one or more of them. Pain and swelling occur immediately after the injury, with more or less inability to use the joint. Itis treated by rest and constant ap- plication of cold water or alcohol and water, and, if nec ,@ splint to prevent motion and allow ruptured LS sarge in geepe Astrain is not materially different from a sprain and the treatment is about the same. Bruises are caused by the impact of some hard substance w) the body, and are of all grades of iatematiy, 3 many killing the victim at once. In slight cases cold water and rest is with good effe oe capes hb fe ing i wit ‘ect, ly when the injury is about the face and, as is universally known, is the standard remedy of shoulder-hitters for a Diack eye. : The ‘d lecture will not bg delivered until after the inauguration, notic® of the date of which will be duly given by General Ordway.

THE OTHER MURDERERS OF M'CLURE AND FLANI- GAN CAPTURED IN ITALY. The Philadelphia Times says: The accom- Plices of Red-nose Mike in the murder of J. B. McClure and Hugh Flanigan, near Wilkes- barre last October, have been captured in Italy. Vincenzo Villella was arrested last Wednesday at Nicastro ia the province of Catanzo in Italy, and Guissepe Bevvineno was captured in a town six miles from there. The Pinkerton agency in this city received a cable- _ from Italy Saturday afternoon from their foreign agent announcing the arrest of Villella and that Bevvineno would be arrested in a few hours. On Villella the Pinkerton agent found 1,000 in Italian money. It is not yet known here how much money was found on Bevvi- neno. He is the most desperate of the three murderers, The extradition papers are in the possession of the foreign agent of the Pinker- tons and the murderers will be brought to this country at once and taken to Wilkesbarre for =) sere How Specials Work. Washington Correspondence St. Louis Globe. They are telling a very funny story about Maj. Stofer, late of the St. Louis Republic. It seems Stofer was at the races, or something equally absorbing, and entered his office late at night, sans news, sans energy, sans nerve, sans hustle. He found a splendid local story in a Baltimore paper concerning a Missouri man, and hastily clipped it out, marked it “Special to the Republic,” and fired it into the telegraph office? The next morning he received a telegram from the home office asking why in thunder he had telegraphed the Baltimore market as “news” to a St. Louis paper. It turned out that Stofer had pasted his matter job ye up. Instead of sending his good story he had pasted that down and left the market report to be sent, and the St. Louis paper received word that in Baltimore lard was worth 13 cents, butter 25 cents, potatoes $1.13 er bushel, &c. Stofer is one of the best fel- lows in the world, which is demonstrated by the fact that he enjoys a good joke, even when it is on himself—a rare good faculty, as most of us want the joke on some other fellow. —<oo—_____— Ritualism in England. THE APPROACHING TRIAL OF THE HIGH CHURCE BISHOP OF LINCOLN. | Cable Dispatch to the New York World. England is to have a theological excitement next week, reflections of which will extend all over the English-speaking globe. Dr. King, bishop of Lincoln, is to appear at the ancient ecclesiastical palace of Lambeth, whose brown turrets face the Thames over against the houses of parliament, next Tuesday, to be tried by the primate for ritualistic practices. It is under- stood that the bishop will come in his cope and mitre, attended by the whole body of his can- ons, and will take the a priori objection that he has the right to be tried by a synodof bishops. If this plea is sustained there will be an ad- journment until an Episcopal convocation can e summoned, ‘The charges against Dr. King are six innum- ber—the use of candles on the communion table, the mixing of water with the communion wine. having the “Angus Dei” sung after the prayer of consecration, holding his hands in the shape of the cross while pronouncing the bene- ion, facing toward the east while breaking bread and performing the rite of ablution,which means himself drinking out of the chalice. coo Meline Trying to Form a Cabinet. M. Meline on Saturday consented to under- take the task of forming a new French cabinet. He is experiencing much difficulty. M. Wal- deck-Rousseau and other prominent men have refused to join. M. de Freycinet prefers the war portfolio, but on the persuasion of Presi dent Carnot he has given a half promise to ac- vept the foreign portfolio. Mr. Rouvier takes the interior portfolio. The other portfolios are tentatively arranged. Senator Ernest Bou- langer is mentioned as minister of finance. The exhibition officials have presented a memorial to President Carnot praying for political truce in the interests of the exhibition. oe A Ghost With a Grievance. THE CARELESSNESS OF AN UNDERTAKER CAUSES TROUBLE TO A CHINAMAN. The Shih Poo, published at Tientsin, recently printed the following paragraph: “In the dis- trict of Pan Yu, in Kuangtung, there is a moun- tain popularly called the ‘Tigers’ Den.’ On this mountain a man had buried his father, but after the lapse of a few years he selected another site for his tomb and proceeded to un- earth his remains, When the grave was dug open it was found filled with water and the coffin totally decayed. Seeing this state of things the undertaker hastily picked up the bones, and placing them in an urn they were reinterred in another tomb. “That night when the son had fallen asleep, he dreamt = saw his father in great displeas- ure and vigorously chastising him. He awoke ite puzzled, but falling asleep again his father reappeared, again chastising him as be- fore. This happened several times, and upon his relating the story to his friends the next morning some suggested that it might be pos- sible that his father’s spirit objected to bein, removed; others hinted that the location oj the new grave might not be satisfactory. But all these conjectures could not explain the strangeness of the situation, because the old grave was full of water and it was incredible that the paternal manes should prefer to re- main in it to a new. dry and well configurated site. “Finally a new thought struck the puzzled son, and he asked the undertaker if he was sure he had picked up all the bones when he put them in the urn. Upon the undertaker expressing an uncertainty in the matter search was made, and, sure enough, a bone was found which had escaped notice. This stray bone was at once interred with the rest in urn, and that night the son enjoyed undisturbed slumber, his father being no longer displeased with him for having neglected one of his -¢e0—_____ Senator-Elect Marston as a Soldier.

AScotchman’s Flying Machine Hovers Over Coney Island. From the New York Press. A few weeks ago an adgentarous aeronaut succeeded in flying scouple of miles in the suburbs of New York, with the aid of a huge machine that had wings, and that seemed to use them with considerable success. For something like a generation the inventor of this flying machine had been at work upon it, and had been laughed at because of it as heartily as ever the irrepressible Keely, of motor fame, was laughed at. But he was a Scotchman, who possesses true Scotch tenacity. He stuck to his idea and finally had the satis- faction of seeing its great wings beat the air over Coney Island and carry it a considerable distance before it was thought well to let it As a result of this there has been organized company with a capital of $1,000,000, the ob- ject of which is to educate the public in the matter of flying and to supply the wings that will be n '. This exhibition of faith in the future of business might well arouse discussion, ‘and it has done so. Even the august Academy of Sciences, which once every week discusses subjects that most | sec pe know nothing about and whose mem- rs know pretty much everything that mortal man Pape ed to know, is taking some cognizance of the affair at issue, and in a quiet way are Kester question as to whether or not man will be abie to fly. Many of the learned professors insist that as man has, by aid of machinery, been able to propel himself through the water, there is no reason why he should not conquer the air in the same manner. But ra more of the professors shake their heads in solemn negation. Still THE SCOTCH INVENTOR'S SUCCESS has created an impression. His flying machine is cigarfshaped, some 60 feet in length and 42 feet in diameter. Its wings work exactly like those of abird, by the aid of a propeller worked by electricity, and the passenger is carried just as the eagle carries its prey. It is a peculiar affair, but has been more successful than any- thing of its kind and hence the arguments among the scientific professors. Most of these of believe that man will be able to fly by means mechanism only when that mechanism is made after that of a bird. One of these learned men discussing the matter the other day expressed this opinion. He said that from the earliest time the dominant wish of man had been to fly after the manner and method of the bird. Most models of the air-ships that have been at- tempted have been after the bird of fli particularly of {the sea-bird, whose ability for continual flight, owing to its power of lighten- ing its body, is well known. “Should man ever fly successfuly,” said the learned man, ‘he will have to do it by means of mechanisn modeled after the elastic and muscular FOBM OF THE SEA BIRD.” In a general way thig seems to be the opinion of scientific men, though few willsay just what their opinions are. But these opinions of the learned are humiliating enough in their way, for they show that we are but a little ahead of the ancients after all, despite the general opin- ion that we have distanced them. The author- ities tell us that the flying machine is of pre- historic ori We are told also that some 400 years B. C. a wooden pigeon was made to fly with considerable success. As this exploit was accomplished more than 2,100 years before the Montgolfier brothers started their balloon on ite flying trip, and more than 2,200 years be- fore the trial of our Scotch inventor’s machine; once of the opinion on the part of experts that we must imitate the bird if we would fly, we have not much to boast of. Just what will come of the discussion at the Academy of Sciences remains to be seen. Nothing at all may come of it inthe end ex- cepta good deal of theorizing. But in the meantime the doughty Scotchman is terribly in earnest. He has worked nearly all his life on his invention, and now, backed. as he is by a capitalized company, he thinks he sees suc- cess ahead. He is confident that the time when men will float through the air like a bird is ap- proaching. A Millionaire’s Narrow Escape. REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE OF JOHN i. HAINES, OF BOSTON. Aremarkable experience happened to John H. Haines, of Boston, Saturday morning. In company with his son, Mr. Haines took a Pull- man compartment at Philidelphia for Pitts- burg Friday evening, occupying a lower berth and his on an upper one. Being a victim of insomnia he found it impossible to sleep. It is supposed that while under a temporary aberration of the mind he raised the window of his compartment and jumped from the car. From some inexplicable cause, to himself en- tirely unknown, he succeeded in reaching the top of a hg Fe car in the lower freight yards, At any rate he was found there by an employe of the road a little later on. Mr. Haines has been a partner in the Edgar Thompson stecl works of Pittsburg. His escape from the car is a mystery to all who were on the train, and his escape from sudden death is considered almost miraculous, Mr. Haines is said to be a millionaire steel king. ——~eoo—______ The Ghost Used a Knife. A NEW BEDFORD YOUNG MAN TRIES TO HOLD ON ‘TO A SPIRIT. From the Boston Herald. Not many miles from New Bedford’s city hall there lives a medium, who is said to be won- derfully blessed with the power to produce so- called spirits. Two young men,who had heard of her, decided upon a’visit to the house where such results have been accomplished. They were admitted to the fold, and, with others, sat around the table. After a few moments, during which time the participants gazed at each other as though anxious to become acquainted, the lights were turned out. It was dark as a) dora and one of the young men whispered to his companion: ‘‘What’s this for; won't the spirits come unless the room is darkened?” His ques- tion has not yet been answered, for hardly had he given utterance to the expression when he was touched on the head by a hand, Yes, a hand; a delicate, soft hand. The touch was a gentle one, and with visions of communion with some departed acquaintance, he put out his strong right arm, as if anxious to hake hands, The spirit took the hint and shook hands with the beginner. The young fellow was so pleased with the spirit that he kept a firm hold of the hand, and with his left hand grasped the wrist to the hand which was inclosed in his own. Strange to relate this wrist and hand protruded from the sleeve of a dress, and the fellow held on for dear life. He was getting the better of this spirit, or whatev it was, having pulled the “spirit thing” nearly over the table. Just at this point he received a cut on the first joint of the second finger to his right hand. The cut was evidently made with a nknife, the wound being on the back of the finger, and isin the shape of an X, probably a private mark of some Jack the Ripper in the spiritual world. Of course, this searcher for light let go. There was a little commotion, and the medium made the an- nouncement that there was some person in the room objectionable to the spirits, and it would be ussless to proceed with that influence in the room, The victim of the knife responded by saying that he guessed it was he, and he thought he’d go out and have his fingers at- tended to by a physician. When the lights were put on he showed his injured digit to the people in the room, and remarked that it was the first time he ever heard of spirits carryi razors. An apothecary in the neighborhood My § kindly dressed the wound. It is doubtful if the young man ever attempts to again hold communion with the spiri _ 20° A MonmonjEvorement.—Gibson A.

The Frankfurter Zeit to-day publishes it claims to be the only authentic account of the Crown Prince Rudolph’s death, Rudolph, it says, in December last, declared that rather than see the Baroness Verscera marry a young French financier, who was encouraged in his suit by her family, he would resign the succes- sion to the crowfi and live abroad as a private gentleman. Arrangements for the lady's mar- riage continued, until on January 29 the baron- ess suddenly vanished.

Despite the lapse of time since the death of Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria, the mystery surrounding the affair is still the foremost subject of discussion and comment in the conti- nental capitals, and the Emperor Francis Joseph is gradual, coming to a realizing sense of his son’s iniquitous life. It is said that the emperor is very much displeased with the inti- mate friends of the crown prince for having concealed the irregularitics of his career, Count Borbelles. the former tutor of Rudolph, is especially blamed for not having reported to the emperor many of the escapades of his pupil which came under his notice, and that gentleman is consequently out of imperial favor. Count Hoyos is also an object of the ss displeasure. The emperor has so strongly recommended his joining Cardinal Lavigerie’s anti-slavery cru- sade in Africa that the count will scarcely hesitate to comply with the suggestion, and he may be thankyul that he is let down so easy. Prince Rudolph was addicted to remarkable combinations of intoxicants, his favorite drink being a mixture of champagne and cognac, a concoction calculated to shatter the nerves and addle the brain of a Hercules, Of this com- und he is said to have absorbed great quan- ‘ities in a day, and his conduct on several memorable occasions attests the potency of his peculiar-tipple. His debts in Vienna amounted to £300, though his allowance from the treasury was £70,000 per annum and his pri- vate income £60,000. tn some respects he was very effeminate. He invariably wore two enormous bracelets, and his large collection of diamonds was continually added to, as his means would permit. con macnn 6 tales Joy in the Two Dakotas.

The attention of the business public te invited with confidence to the superior advantages pre- sented by THE WASHINGTON EVENING STAR as an advertising medium. The sworn statements of its daily circulation, published from week to week, taken in connection with the data given below. lustrate in the most striking manner the steady and rapid growth of the paper in circulation and influence. They also establish, beyond conto versy, the fact that THE STAR is the dest local aa vertising medium, not only in the United States, Dut in the whole world: This claim is based and conceded on the fact that no city in any country is so thoroughly covered by the regular circulation of a single paper as is the city of Washington by that of Tak EVENING STAR; and it does not rest on the extend alone, but also on the character of circula- tion. Notonly is tts local circulation the largest and fullest of any daily paper printed, in propor- tion to population, but it is also the BEST, since the paper does not merely go into the hands of the people of the District of Columbia asa body, but into their homes,—into the families of all condi- tions, and into those of the moncy-spending ae Well as the money-earning portion of the com. munity,—in © much larger ratio than any dally journal that can be named. By reason of the fullness, freshness and reliability of its news, Joral, domestic and foreign, its independent and fair treatment of all public questions, and espe- cially because of its int nt and effective de- Votion to looal interests, dite close attention te matters with which the household, and partica- larly its laay members, are concerned, THE STAR is everywhere recognized and admitted to be. im every quality, the leading and favorite newspaper of the National Capital, alike in the counting- Toom, the work-shop, and the family circle. More conclusive evidence on these points neo Person can ask than that afforded by the table below. The growth of circulation therein indi- cated, with the analysis following, clearly shows the esteem in which the paper is held by the com- munity to whose interests it is so steadfastly do- voted. It will be seen that, in the sumber of copies issued, every month in the year INNS @ handsome increase over the corresponding month in each year gi and, as a further (Mus- tration on that point, it may be stated here that there has been a corresponding advance in the number of new advertisements printed during the year. The comparative figures for the four years last past are as follows: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87. ISS3. ISSG. INS?, 25,470 26.200 26,009 25,575 25,742 23,902 25,116 24,870 24.5508 24,903 24,807 23.697 26,466 25,484 1,803 Of this aggregate daily circulation of 27,082 copies, the books of the office show that an average of 20,029 copies were regularly delivered each day, by carriers, at the homes af permanent sub- scrivers in the city and suburbs. Ofthe remainder, 8 daily average of 5,421 were sold at the office, in the hotels and railway stations, etc.,and on the streets, by newsboys, making a grand total average within the District of 23,450 copies daily, leaving @ daily average of 1,632 wo be sent to regular sub- scribers residing beyond its limits, by mail, express, and railway tr In addition to the 20,029 copies daily delivered at the homes of subscribers, a large proportion of the 3,421 otherwise disposed of in thecity is reg- ularly purchased by permanent residents, living in lodgings, &c. (not householders) . While the resi- due goes into the hands of transient visitors, from all parts of the country, who each year come to the National Capital in greater numbers for longer periods, and who, furthermore, largely rep- resent the well-to-do and purchasing portions of the communities to which they respectively belong. "Che last-named is a class of readers alone well Worth reaching; but it is to the phenomenally large permanent local circtilation of the paper, and especially to its unparalleled hold upon the household family ¢ advertisers is particu A comparison of the home circulation of 7: a with the figures representing the entire popula- tion of the city will conclusively establish the fact that THE STAK reaches about every family in the District of Columbia, and is read every day by more than three-JourUs af its population who are able to read! It follows, therefore, that an advertise ment inserted in its columns will meet the ey@jof every person in the District worth reaching, of whatever race, creed, sex, age, or condition in life. It only remains to be said, for the information of those interested in the subject, that, in proportion to Its circulation, the rates of advertising in THE EVENING STK, whether transient or for long periods, rank with the very jowest in the United | States. Indeed, taking both the extent and char- acter of its circulation into consideration, it may safely be claimed that so wide and such an excel- lent quality of publicity can nowhere else be bought for the same money. “Trial by Peers.” For the information of those not familiar with THE Stax, a few extracts from notices by its com- temporaries, called out by its recent change im form, are appended : 188 nse, JANUARY... ! lly av'ge.
