Physicians Differ on the Question Whether He
Is Unwell Enough to Need Lodge Benefits.
The Mount Joy Star and Neps relates a
case in that borough where physicians were
radically opposed in their diagnosis OF the
case of presumable invalid Six years ago
Frank Carpenter, sr., was hurt at the Mt
Joy steam MILL and has been walking ON the
street with a crutch ever since. He was a
member of the Odd Fellows and Knight of
Pythias, and the benefits derived from that
source were sufficient to support him and
his family for the last six years
position, the Knights of Pythias secured Drs.
Ziegler, Of Mt Joy, and Davis and Welchans,
of Lancaster, to make an examination. They
presented written report that they found no
organic disease or injury at all, only that he
was a little weak from long inactivity and
from excessive use of tobacco and chloral.
The knights therefore discontinued the
weekly dues. '
The Odd Fellows, however, were not salts
fed with the above diagnosis. They employed
two physicians of Columbia, Drs. Armor and
Taylor, and they gave him another examina,
tion and pronounced him a complete physi-
cal wreck with spinal lesion, being abso-
lutely unable to walk any distance erect
without support.
Under the direction of the Odd Fellows,
Carpenter was few weeks afterwards taken
to the University at Philadelphia, and DR.;
Ashhurst professor on surgery, examined
him and found no spinal lesion or slightest
evidence of injury for him to treat, and then
turned him over to DR.. Wood, professor on
nervous diseases; he was kept under his
care three weeks and he was unable to find
anything ailing him that required treatment,
and last week he was sent home well man.
He has since been seen repeatedly walking
the street. erect and at fair gait, carrying
cane in one hand, but no crutch in the other.

I. Patience" I" Sung with Success to u Large
Audience Last Evening.
The interest in the company now perform
ing at the opera house IA unabated, and,
although the audience was small at yester
days matinee, in the evening the house was
again crowded. Those present included the
best known patrons Of amusements of the
city. At both performances the opera
"Patience" was given with success. The
singing was probably the best yet heard
from the company.
Frank Deshon, who by the way has made
himself quite favorite here, took the charac.
ter of Buathorne, and his acting and singing
were marked by the same cleverness that he
displayed in the other character, in which
he has been seen and heard. He was well
supported by r. s. Nodine, jr, as Gr0spenOr.
Miss Shuman was neat little Patience, and
Miss Carter a stately Lady Jane. The latter
and Miss Deshon made great hit in their
duet, being recalled no less than four times
The dragons were weak IN, numbers but
strong in voice. The party Of naidens was
very thin, there being no more than a halt
dozen in II at any time. The company needs
female recruits. This evening the company
appears In "Girohe -Girofia," which has not
been sung here for long time.

FOREIGN HEIRS TURN UP.
An Estate that Seems to Have Been Escheats

An Estate that Seems to Have Been Escheated
Settled Too Previously.
In the summer of 1888 Joseph Steiner, a
German, died at Kaufiman's hotel, on the
Harrisburg turnpike, and 1t was not known
that he had any relatives. J. B. Kaufman
of this city, became the administrator of the
estate, the appraised value Of which was over
$1,000 Some time after the death of Steiner,
Thos. b. Holohan, esq, notified Governor
Pattison that deceased had no relatives. The
matter was referred to the auditor general,
and that official appointed Charles !. Ian
dis deputy escheater, TO ascertain
whether there were any relatives.
He directed his precept to the
sheriff and twenty-four men, "good and
true" were empal elled to hear testimony.
time it appeared that Steiner did not have
any relatives, and il was 80 certified by the
deputy escheater to the auditor general.
Under the law the infOrmer Is entitled to one
third of an escheated estate, and Mr.. Hola,
han was paid something over three hundred
dollars, upon his giving bond to refund the
same, if any blood relations turned up.
The German consul at Philadelphia was
informed of Steiner's death, and he made
inquiries as to whether Steiner had any rel
information that Steiner had a brother living
in Germany, and he consulted his counsel,
stephen s. Rena., esq, in reference
to securing the estate of decedent
for his brother in Germany Mr.. Remak
has been in correspondence with John
A. Coyle, esq, Of this city, in ref
erence to this matter, and this morning Mr..
Remak was in the city, and with Mr..
Coyle, filed traverse to the inqusition find
ing that Steiner died leaving no relatives.
The commonwealth will now file replica
cation, after which an issue will be framed
to determine whether the man In Germany
claiming the estate is the brother OF defend
ant II he proves his relationship Mr.. Hol-
lohan will be required to hand back the
amount received by him as informer. This
case is something new In the practice OF Ian
caster attorneys and the outcome will be
watched with great deal of interest

NEW YORK, May 19.-The consultation
of Drs. Sands, Shrady and Douglas at Gen
eral Grants house yesterday afternoon
lasted nearly two hours. This was much
longer than usual, and was due to the
grave symptoms that have appeared
in the case within few days. 1t
was noticed early in the week, when
the General suffered from a return of in
somnia, that the glandular swelling did not
materially increase as it had done during
former slight relapses. On this account the
trouble was not justly traceable to vocal
strain, although that was at first de-
clared to be the chief cause of
discomfort. Yesterdays examination dis
closed much graver condition than
has heretofore been minated. The
doctors were disinclined to say
much about it beyond admitting that the
cancer had again become noticeably active.

local condition (tlle cancer neither better
nor worse than for the past three days.
