The serious phase Of the disease Is the
relaxation of the muscles, in the mem
brane of the throat, which has the elect
of filling the bronchial tubes with secre-
tions. In cases Of persons Of advanced
age they are unable to throw this phlegm
off, and, as in the case of very young
children with Group, death is liable to
ensue from suiiocation. This is danger
which threatens Mr.. Corcoran.
No one is allowed to see him now ex-
cept the immediate members of his
family, all of whom are now in the city
A great many people call at the house
during the day to make inquiries and to
get the latest bulletins from the sick
room. Mr.. COrcoran has nothing to dis
turb him. All the arrangeme'fs ia 20
gard to his property have been deter
mined, and, with the business eXactness
which has characterized him through
life, he has even arranged the details of
the manner of the burial of his remains.
