Hospital Notes.

  Frank Ross, an Italian, was admitted last night, to be treated for 
rheumatism.  He is the same man admitted some time ago, who had been 
injured by a steel rail striking him in the chest.
  Frank Walters, of 309 Willow avenue, an employe of the freight shop, 
was treated for a severe contusion of the left hand.  The injury was 
caused by a heavy piece of metal coming in contact with the member.
  Michael Galanche, the Italian who was shot during the racket on 
Sixteenth street, Tuesday evening, was admitted yesterday for 
treatment.  It is not definitely known how bad his injury is, but it is 
not thought it will result seriously.  John Johns, the Italian who was 
so badly beaten, and who is accused of doing the shooting, admitted 
yesterday morning, is doing as well as could be expected.
