NEWS Events In Th Polite World, Fafet And To Com. Ji L0BENZ PATIENT EESTORED Little May Lehmnnn IV'ow Hart Like Other Children.

The effectiveness of the method of reducing congenital hlptilslocatlou practiced Dr. Adolf Lorenz, the famous Vienna surgeon, was demonstrated yesterday when little May Lehmann, the 0-year-old daughter of I'atiolmnii and Mrs. John Lchmanu, who was operated on by "Dr. Lorenz December 8, 11)02, romped and played with tho children of the neighborhood, the third and final cast having been removed from her left leg on Wednesday, as stated In The Little May had been afflicted with dislocation of the left hip anil was treated together with two other little girls. She had been forced to wear a shoe with a hlgli lift, but had been able to play with her diminutive friends.

After Dr. Lorens had pei formed the operation the limb was Jn-eused in a plaster cast, and the patient was removed to the Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she was looked after by Dr. Kaerj She stayed there for 11 days. Her leg was kept at an angle, the left foot be ing about even with the right knee ami supported by a very high shoe. The hip and the thigh were incused in plaster oust.

On Inst Christmas little MHy began to walk, the weight of her body, as she walked, falling on her hip boue and forcing the femur, or thigh bone, into the newly formed socket. The tlrt cast was worn until September 24, when it was removed aud replaced by another, which reduced the angle of the leg. This cast was worn for about a month, when it was taken off aud one put on which brought the leg almost to its normal position. This cast was taken off on Wednesday, and the child pronounced cured. On account of the leg being In the casta 60 loug, the muscles have grown a little stiff.

This causes n. slight limp, which Is noticeable only when walking, but rot perceptible when the child Is running, which Is what she Is usually doing. Dr. Haer says that In the course of a month or so the muscles will relax and the leg will be normal. Little May spent yesterday romping with her little cousin and some of the children of the neighborhood.

Notwithstanding her former aflilctlon she was almost asqulck as the average child. It is said that Dr. Lorenz wns skeptical as to whether the operation would be a success, but it has turned out as well as any performed by him In this country. Little May was a favorite among the doctors and nurses of the hospital.

LAST TO RETIRE HOME LATE Theory Is That Gas Was Blown Out Or Turned Off And Accidentally Turned On Again No Inquest. Three young men employed by Mr, Anton Haas, a butcher, 47 and 49, Brown's lane, near Frederick avenue, lost their lives by inhaling illuminating gas some time early yesterday morning, after having spent a most enjoyable Christmas Eve. The dead are: WILLIAM GOEBEL, 19 years old. FREDERICK HABERSTROH, 32 years old. GEORGE WILLIAM BECKHUSSER, 28 years old.

All were natives of Germany and had been in this country only a short time. The bodies were found In a small back room on the second floor of 47 Brown's lane about 8.30 o'clock yesterday The door and the two small windows on the south side of the room were tightly closed, and the apartment was so filled with gas that the person who entered to turn off the stopcock and open the windows was almost overcome. Yesterday being a holiday Mr. Haas in tended to let the men sleep later than usual. There is an electric bell in the room connected with a push button at the foot of the stairway on the first floor.

The bell was rung a little before 8 o'clock to call the sleepers to breakfast and, there being no response, the ringing was repeated several times. Then George Schmldschnelder, who Is employed by Haas, went up to the room and discovered what had happened. Goebel' and Beckhusser slept in a bed alongside, one window, and the bed occupied by Haberstroh stood against the east wall, with the footboard against the other bed. There; with the covers drawn over them and the clothes they had taken off scattered over the room, the three lay as though In peaceful sleep. 1 The slaughter house and shed Is on the 'first floor of the building, which Is only separated from the residence of Mr.

Haas on the south side by a driveway. At the second story the buildings are connected by a closed passage. Mr. Fred Haas' Statement. Mr.

Frederick Haas was seen yesterday afternoon In the. absence of his father, and said that Beckhusser, who was'the last to retire, either blew out the gas or, in turning the stopcock, accidentally turned the gas on again after the flame had been extinguished. The three men had been paid off by Mr; Haas and went out Thursday night to have a little fun. "About 11.30 o'clock my brother George found Haberstroh In the kitchen very much under the influence of liquor," said Mr. Haas.

"He made him go up to the room and get in bed. Then he saw that the other two were still missing and he started on a hunt for them. He found Goebel in a closet asleep, awakened him and made him go to bed. Beckhusser was not around and about 12 o'clock father said he would not stay up to wait for him any longer. About 1.30 o'clock this morning the gate bell rang and when father went down he found Beckhusser there very much Intoxicated.

He started him upstairs to his room and then went to bed on the second floor, directly opposite the room occupied by the men. Father thought he would watch to see if Beckhusser got to bed allright. He saw the gas burning brightly and Beckhusser get ready for bed. Then suddenly he saw the light disappear and supposed that Beckhusser had gone to bed. My father then retired and nothing more was thought of the men MR.

L. Victor Baughman, of Poplar Terrace, Frederick county, gave a Colonial dinner last night at their winter residence, 16 West Madison street, before the Christmas ball of the Junior Cotillon Club. The entertainment was given to the young friends of Miss Helen Abell Baughman and E. Austin Baughman, daughter and son of the host and hostess. The stairways of the residence were wreathed in evergreens and the drawing rooms decorated with palms, holly and poinsettias, but it was In the dining room that the details of a Colonial Christmas feast were closely followed.

All the heavy oaken furniture of the room was wreathed In holly branches and candles in quaint old candelabra furnished the only illumination. Suspended above the table were two Christmas bells of evergreen and holly, and in the center of the table was a moss-grown yule log, the vivid pointed scarlet blossoms of the poinsettia surrounding It to represent tongues of 'flame. In the bay window stood a Christmas tree, glimmering and glinting with frosty crystal icicles and varicolored ornaments, which was all alight with burning wax tapers as the dinner was announced. Beautiful old heirlooms of silver were used in the dinner service and toasts were drunk from Colonial glasses. Most of the the menu were products of General Baughman's country home, and a huge turkey, decked in holly and red ribbon, and a pig roasted whole, with a rosy apple in its mouth, graeed the two ends of the table as the guests were seated.

They were then removed and the dinner proceeded In regular courses, but the dishes all were of savory, old-fashioned character. The menu Included: Raw Oysters. Bouillon. Terrapin, Maryland style. Turkey, with Mushrooms and Hominy Croquettes, Sweetbreads and Truffles, Roast Pig, with Cold Slaw, Served in Ruffled Cabbage Heads.

Fruit Salad, Plum Pudding, decked with Holly, and brought to the table glowing with burning brands. Coffee. Cheese. Crackers. Nuts.

Ices were brought In in the form of snow balls, piled high in four red candy sleighs. drawn by miniature horses. Smaller sleighs of the same candy were filled with bonbons, and salted almonds were served at each cover in red and white mint candy oaskets. Champagne and apollinarls were served with dinner and Madeira with the terrapin course. The favors distributed after the dinner were as unique as the menu.

General Baughman received a small old-time farm basket In which were represented In minia ture the 'products of his country estate. There were horses and cows to represent the stock, dogs to suggest the kennels, a tiny milk can to recall the dairy; a stout prize assortment of vegetables and fruits typified the products of the earth. The favors for. the ladies were tarletan stockings', trimmed in tinsel and filled witn all manner of pretty souvenirs, while the ans, and his daughters are Misses Fanny uvaune, Monica, Josephine and Elizabeth Evans. Mr.

Evans is a stanch Democrat and never has voted a different ticket. All of his sons are also of the same party. Mr. Evans has lived at 1028 West Lexington street lor nearly 40 years. until the call was made for breakfast this morning.

Thinks Gas Was Blown Oat. "The gaspipe comes down from the cpII ing In the middle of the room and near the beds. The stopcock does not turn the whole way so there Is no danger of turning it too far. It Is old and a little stiff, so that I would hardly think that Beckhusser, In turning It off, unconsciously turned It on again. I rather think he blew the light out, thinking at the time that it was a candle.

"AH the men were good workers, kept themselves neat, dressed well and seemed to have a number of friends. They gen erally went out Saturday night, and got an extra holiday yesterday. Beckhusser had only been working for us a week. Goebel did not seem to have had much to drink, if anything." Immediately on finding the men In the gas-nlled room Mr. Adolph Koldewey, a druggist at 1801 West Pratt street, and Drs.

John G. Holliday, 714 Frederick ave nne extended, and Henry J. Hahn, 2230 vY est Pratt street, were sent for. Mr, Koldewey arrived first and at once saw that the men had been dead for some time, The physicians could only confirm his state ment. The police at the Southwestern Police Station were notified, and Lieutenant Pol-ton sent Round Sergeant John H.

Peregoy and Detective Atkinson to the house to an investigation. They were joined by Patrolman Kaufman, the patrolman on that beat. Coroner C. Frank Jones, of the Southwestern district, after making inquiry, decided that the death of the men was the result of an accident and deemed'an Inquest unnecessary. Were Not Long From Germany.

To give the police a chauce to locate and po-tlfy relatives of Beckhusser in Germany, If any are living, the body will be kept until Monday. Mr.

When she was 6 years old she fell Into an open fire at her home and was badly burned on the left sld, from the head to the lower border of the ribs. While the burn wan healing her left arm was allowed to hang to her side, with the result that the Inner side of the arm adhered to the flesh on her body. After adhesion had taken place Miss Myers could not move the upper part of the arm and could use It only from the elbow downward. On December 10 Miss Myers came to Baltimore and was operated on the next day. Dr.

John B. Schwatka, of the hospital staff and president of the board of directors of the Baltimore Medical College, aud Dr. Harry Gross performed the operation. Before the operation Dr. Schwatka had made an examination and told Miss Myers that he thought the full use of her arm could be restored.

Ills prediction has beeu Justified by the result. The operation was of a very delicate character. The arm was cut loose from the side and then the skin. from adjacent parts of the arm and body were drawn so as to cover the exposed surfaces. Dr.

Schwatka said yesterday that the operation was successful and that Miss Myers probably will leave the hospital In 10 days. The Injury which Miss Myers received from falling into the Are in childhood must have been very severe, Dr, Schwatka said, as was Indicated by the scars it left. The case was an extreme one of It kind and has attracted the attention of local practitioners. Pueumonla, the doctors say, frequently results from injuries aueta as that which caused the trouble of which Miss Myers has been relieved. FAIR EOR ST.
