The Albany Central City---

PAINFUL ACCIDENT--SKILLFUL SURGICAL OPERATION

Mr. S.F. deGraffenreid of this city was severely injured at Tifton, a station on the Brunswick and Albany Railroad, forty miles from Albany, on Monday morning last. He was standing on or near the platform of the depot, as the B & A R.R. passenger train was moving off, when he found that by remaining where he was there was danger of his being crushed. He started to leave the spot, when the corner of the car struck him in the forehead and on the right shoulder, knocking him down. In attempting to rise, his left foot was thrown under the passing wheels, and mashed off across the instep. Mr. deGraffenreid was badly bruised on the head and shoulders, and his foot horrible mangled. He was sent up immediately from Tifton, on a pole car, and arrived here about half-passed eight o'clock in the evening, suffering the most excruciating pains. On Tuesday morning last Drs. Hilsman and Strozer performed the difficult and skillful surgical operation of removing the bruised flesh and crushed bones of the foot, and lapping the skin of the foot so that it will cover the wound and join to the skin of the leg. By this operation the heel will be preserved, if a second operation is not rendered necessary. Mr. deGraffenreid is now doing as well as could be expected. We hope that his wounds will speedily heal up. We and the community at large deeply sympathize with him in his present calamity.
LATER--since writing the above the physicians have been compelled to perform another operation upon Mr. deGraffenreid's leg. After the would had been dressed Tuesday morning, gangrene set in so rapidly that amputation a few inches below the knee was rendered necessary. We are informed that the patient is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstatnces.
