THE LYMPH PATIENTS

All Doing Well and Everything
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS They Are-More
of the Lymph VIII be Had Per-
haps.
George M. Bradley of North Haven, a
brother of Mr.. Bradley of the firm of B. H.
Douglass & Co.; Henry johnson, of John
son Brothers, the grocers; and Edward
Blake, son of Attorney Henry 7. Blake,
are the three patients upon whom DIR. Fos-
ter has been experimenting with the DIR.
Koch lymph. The last named patient was
the one first operated upon and perhaps
from whom the most interesting results
are expected. Mr.. Blake is twenty-seven
years of age and graduated from Shelf. in
the class of 49, Soon afterward he was
attacked with consumption, from which he
has steadily declined in health, at present
being in critical condition. He returned
recently from trip to the south, his health
unimproved. He has been inoculated with
the lymph now for the third time and, al
though it is early yet, does show some
signs of improvement. If the treatment
succeeds in this case it will be great vic
tory won for the lymph.
The other two patients received their
second incubation Saturday and are both
oolhS woh. 1ne eHectS perceptlDle from
each succeeding incubation do not vary q
great deal. The doctor has not enough of
the lymph to warrant him making any
fresh experiments, though he is yet con-
tinually besieged by many desiring the
treatment and willing to be operated upon
by course not yet proven fully The
lymph is likely to reach here in fresh guam
titles almost any time now, as other physi-
clans will and have pressed their claims
abroad for that article
The medical fraternity have been given,
as far as possible, a fair opportunity to
study the effects, etc., Of the treatment.

A GROWING CITY.

Proposed Horse Railroad Extensi o ms
In Fair Haven and East Rock-The
Skating Season at Lake Whitney.
The State Street Horse Railroad COM
pany has decided to apply to the next
legislature for an amendment to it's chart
er, permitting it to extend its tracks from
State street through James street, Lom-
bard street, Clinton avenue, Middletown
avenue, and Ferry street back to State
the cars could run if it was so desired.
This route also includes the Fair Haven
depot.
The other extension asked for would
permit Of tracks being laid from Whitney
avenue down Humphrey street to Orange
street and through that street to East
Rock park. This amendment was asked
of the last legislature, but through some
neglect it was left from the books and the
company will now make a second applica-
ton. The company also wishes to con-
meet its State street and Whitney avenue
lines through Lawrence street and to lay
a new line through Grove to Prospect
and thence through Sachem street and
Winchester avenue to Mill rock in Ham
den.
On the Whitney avenue road this winter
it is supposed as soon as there is skating
on Lake Whitney to make quicker time
and to run two or three cars at time for
skaters and others, whenever necessary
for public accommodation. The winter
schedule time of trips is every twenty
minutes For the skating season this will
be cut down to fifteen minutes. The
company since taking this road has put it
in splendid condition, having spent $780,
600 in giving it perfect road bed and
having added many new and fine cars, be-
side building new stables, sheds, ETC..
The ice on Lake Whitney will if the pres
emit weather continues be in safe and
prime condition for good skating

Albert HI. Bartlett of Crown Street Is
Almost Instantly Killed by Fall
From the Roof of His House Oh
Orange street.
Albert H. Bartlett,a gentleman of forty
five years of age who resides at 106 Crown
street, fell from the roof of house owned
by him at 754 Orange street about o'clock
yesterday afternoon and died within fifteen
minutes afterwards from the effects OF the
fall. Mr.. Bartlett is well known builder
and owned the house he lived in on Crown
street, and one or two others besides the
house at 754 Orange street, at which he
met his death. This house is occupied by
Frederick 7. Munson,a commercial travel
er, and Charles E. Larom, manager of the
Paris glove store. Workmen were repair
| ing it and Mr.. Bartlett, late in the after
noon, visited the house to see how the
work was progressing, in company with
William P. Wheeler, painter. The root
is mansard one, and slopes considerably
at the sides. The two men were upon the
highest part when Mr. Bartlett started
down one side toward the caves. He had
| gone about half way when Wheeler told
| him to be careful, at the same time throw.
ing him a rope and telling him to take hold
of it. Mr. Bartlett did not heed the warn
ing and allowed the rope to lie untouched
| Wheeler demonstrated and urged him tt
take more precaution, but Mr.. Bartlett
kept on down. He had gone about three
quarters of the way to the caves when h
struck spot covered with ice, formed BY
the drilling rain. In an instant hi
slipped and fell head first over the edge
He struck the ground upon the left side o
his head and fifteen minutes lated expired
DR.. T. II. Russell was called but fount
the patient dead. Medical Examiner Whit
arrived and the body was taken to Lewi

deceased, was heart broken when the ter
rible news was broken to her by frient
at her home on Crown street.
Mr.. Bartlett was member of Rathbon
lodge, K. of P, and that lodge will hold

Lowest Panic Prices Touched Again
"A Slump in Union Pacific and
Missouri Pacific.

NEW 1ORh, Dtc. v.
The whole market was naturally weak under
the influence of the Meyer failure, the assign
ment of Mr.. E. II. Ammidown, vague fears of
other failures were impending and the knowledge
that a reduction of something like 81 100000 in
cash holdings of city banks during the week must
result in an unfaverable statement. The break
in the Wizards specialtes of course produced
a sympathetic decline in other stocks, but there
was nothing to equal the slump in Union Pacific
and Missouri Pacific, although st. Paul and
Louisville came in for pretty smart humping
and lost more than per cent, and the selling of
Northern Pacific preferred noted yesterday was
continued with decline of 2l6.
Sales at the Board amounted to 2o3,0F shares
(silver certificates not included) against PSI, CSC
