Discussing the noureoovery of President McKinley from the wound In hi* stomach, says the Baltimore Sun. has recalled to many Baltimorean* the desperate wound received by CoL R. Snowden Andrews of the confederate artillery service, now living at No. 107 West North aveCoL Andrews was riding on his horse at the battle of Cedar Run. when a •hell struck him on the right side, completely tearing away the abdominal wall, ^rushing the bones of the hip and narrowly missing the Intestines ns Col. Andrews was placed by the roadside by some friends. Messenger* were sent for a surgeon, but none could bo found. The colonel lay by the roadside from noon until night, when an ambulance picked him up. All that time he bad been suffering, fully conscious. without any relief whatever, and no dressing to his wound. In falling from his horse and afterward as he lay prostrate much dirt and other foreign substance entered the wound. After being jolted over the rough ground for eight miles he was deposited In a farmhouse, still alive, much to the amarement of the driver, and all that were aware of the case. W’heu told of the .wound the army surgeon who had been unable to respond bad declared that his services would have availed nothing. At the house the Inmates thought he was about to die at any minute and said It was useless to send for a doctor, but the colonel Insisted that he was going to get well and to satisfy him a country doctor who was passing by was called In. This physician also said It was useless to dp > anything, especially as he had

declared mat he was not going to die without a strong fight for life and ordered the doctor to proceed. Acting under these positive Instructions the doctor pulled out the intestines with his bare hands, the colonel.

Intestines, after which the doctor replaced them as carefully as he could and sewed up the wound. He then set the Injured leg. It was a slim array of Instruments with which the feat was accomplished and even they were not of the best, for some of them were so rusty from long lack of use that the. operation had to be stopped while they were sharpened and cleaned on an emery stone. That the wound In itself did not kill the colonel Is a wonder but that he did not die anyhow of blood poisoning Is something that ha* never When the doctor had finished hU work the soldier was laid fiat on his back In bed and left to be treated by his orderly, aaelsted by the occasional visits of the surgeon of the battalion.

But the actual work of soldlerl ’R was too much for even his wonder'd strength and constitution at that sime. so he was withdrawn and was sent abroad In the Interest of the con' ?deracy, serving there for many monilia, but was not able to again take his ommand. When CoL Andrew3 reached Richmond the best doctors in the confederacy took charge of his case, and he was fitted out with a silver plate to

Mr. Miller Is the present owner of a 1500 acre farm, situated one mile from Mount Airy, which has the distinction of having been owned by bachelors for a couple of centuries. No married couple has ever lived In the house. In speaking of the old place Mr. Miller said:

For more than 200 years no man and wife has ever lived In the house. "There was never any obligation, contract, or understanding that the heir or owners should never marry. It Just happened that my uncle nor my great uncle ever married. That's all there Is to It. In fact, prior to my uncle’s death, he constantly urted me to marry, hut up to this time I have not compiled with his request "The farm haa never passed out of tits family since ft was originally granted, and It has never had a lien or mortgage on It nor has it ever been delinquent for taxes.” While a confirmed bachelor Mr. Mlllc.
