| me Injured Firemen Improving
Slowly.
The condition Of the injured from Monday
nights fire was more encouraging yesterday
| than at any time since the accident
| A MORNING NEWS reporter, in company
with Chief Fireman Puder, made round
Of the hospitals late in the afternoon. Le-
Pinsky and Hart are under treatment at st.
Joseph's lnfirmary. Lepinsky has his left
shoulder closely bandaged and his left arm
/ is drawn up across his breast and bandag ed
| close, to prevent him from using the arm
/ until the broken shouldeTblade knits. He
was anxious for a newspaper to read up on
| matters and takes a decided interest in
base ball and tue approaching Sullivan
| and kllrain mill. The injured man is get
| ting along well, and his recovery is not con
sidered doubtful, but it is question Of Sc
| rious doubt II he will recover the use OF his
arm. he will certainly not for hard labor.
Hart was in great deal of pain and
although man Of splendid physique he
does not seem to have the courage 10 think
he will get well. "I don't know whether |
will ever get out Of here" he said. He
complains of serious pains about his Ioins,
and had eaten nothing since the accident
up to last night. He says that
he has no appetite. Hart, Ogren
and Strobhar all COMPLAIN of
pains across the lower part of the back.
Dr. Harris attributes this in Ogren to cold
contracted by the rain and exposure. which
has affected the muscular system, and not
TO injury.
Foreman Goodson is under treatment at
the Savannah hospital. DR.. Duncan still
thinks it best TO exclude visitors, but Mrs.
Goodson, who is in constant attendance
upon her husband, expressed herself
as very much encouraged with the
Improvement in his condition,
which was noticeable yesterday.
he showed more signs of returning reason
yesterday than at any time since he was
injured. While he recognized his wife &C.
casionally on Wednesday, he was much
more rational last night. He awoke yester-
day morning, and said: 81 am in the hos
pital, am notF' and she replied Eyes"
open the blinds and let me see where I
am, be added. he talked about the fire
yesterday for the first time. He had Just
ordered the ladder put up on the Byck
building, he said, when the crash of the
falling wall came. He was not encouraged
to talk much, and is kept as quiet as posi-
BILE. Quite number Of delicacies were
sent to him during the day, but thus far he
has taken but little nourishment. He COM
plains OF severe pains about the head and
back, but his condition considered is moro
hopeful thanat any time since the accident
j. f. Strobhar is at his home, No. I12
Montgomery street. He has been a very
SICK man, and indications Of jaundice from
threatened congestion Of the liver and kid
neys were noticed yesterday, but under
treatment the liver was aroused
to action, and his condition was
much more hopeful last night than it was
at noon. He complains Of severe pains in
the back. His right arm, which Is broken
in three places below the elbow, does not
give him as much pain as he suffers about
the lumbar region, but COM
pels him to occupy one DO
sitlon all the time and tends
to mako him restless. His wife is assiduous
in her attentions, but yesterday she had no
one to assist her in caring for him. DR..
Harris said last night that he will call the
attention of the mayor to the cases of Strob-
| har and Ogren, and it is probable that
| skilled nurses will be furnished the injured
mon. Mrs. Ogren has no one to assist her.
"Ogren has been very sick man." Dr.
Harris said last night, "but he is much i'm
proved. He was badly burned on both legs,
on the feet, In the face and about the
shoulders, and has bad cash ON the head.
Chief Puder visits the disabled men once
or twice daily.
