SAVANNAH, Ga.. April 19.—Dr. George M. Harman, a noted surgeon and member of the council, scratched his face with an instrument during an operation a month ago and blood pois oning set in.

Dr. Harman In structed his negro velet to bring certain instruments to him. The servant then lifted him from bed and held him in his arms before the mirror while the ope rations was in progress. Dr. Harman ran the lance from the inside of hts mouth up almost to the eye, the cheeH was severed from the bone and an opening made so the poison could drain downward.
